How tn. Rrahman Cleans His Teeth


 When the Brahman cleans his teeth he must use small twig cut from one of a number of certain trees, and be- fore he cuts 1t he must make his act known to the gods of the woods. He must not indulge in this cleanly habit every day. He must abstain on the sixth, the eighth. the ninth, the four teenth, the fifteenth and the last day of the moon, on the days of new and full moon, on the Tuesday in every week, on the day of the constellation under which he was born, on the day of the week and on the day of the month which correspond with those of his birth, at an eclipse. at the conjunc- tion of the planets. at the equinoxes and other unlucky epochs and also on the anniversary of the death of his fa- ther or mother. Any one who cleans his teeth with his bit of stick on any of the above mentioned days will have hell as his portion - "Hindoo Man. ners," by Abbe Dubois.

The Dry Farm Bill

The 320 acre dry farm home
stead bill, which was virtually
killed last session was revived
on Wednesday and again refer
red to a conference committee.
The bill has passed both houses
but the house at the last session
refused to act on the confer
ence report, believing that the
bill was too loosely drawn. Rep
resentative Mondell, chairman
of the house committee, will un-
dertake to have the objection
able features elimin ated, being
satisfied that if this can be done
the bill can be finally enacted
before March 4. It's most OBJ
jectionable feature is Shoots
nonresident amendment.
The house will not consent to
the passage of any kind of a
homestead bill which will enable
the settler to obtain 320 acres
of land unless, he is required
to reside on it. Senator Smoot
believes that he can secure the
final passage Of a resident
dry farm bill applicable only to
Utah and if this could be done
it might open the way for an
agreement upon the general
800 acre bill.

water users.
Attorney J. G. Watts was
called for, and gave a state

case as he viewed it, and answ-
cred a number of questions COW
ering particular questions. Sew
eral others were called upon for
an expression of their views,
and a general discussion took
place. The proposals of the
company, a summary Of which
was published in a previous is
sue of this paper, were also con-
sidered, and while objected to
on some points, seemed to meet
with considerable favor. 1t was
finally decided to appoint a COM
mittee Of seven to wait on the
company, and secure a further
statement from it regarding its
condition and plans. The chair

ORGANIZATION FORMED TO
SOLVE WATER PROBLEMS
Water Users of Mountain Home and Sunnyside
Form Twin Associations to Secure Concerted
Action on Future Difficulties

A largely attended meeting
of the holders of water rights
under the Great Western Beet
Sugar Co. was held in the Court
House in this city on Friday af-
ternoon Of last week, and con-
continued on the following day.
The meeting was called by a
number of prominent water
right owners, who sent an invi-
tation to as many as could be
reached, and when the hour for
the meeting arrived, the court
room was crowded to the limit.
c. L. Sawyer was named for
chairman and 0. E. Norell was
called to act as secretary. Mr..
Sawyer, who was one OF those
who called the meeting, stated
that the call was made in the
belief that the best means Of
settling the local waterproblems
was for the water right holders
to get together and so far as
possible act as a unit. AS he
understood the case, they were
all in the same boat. They had
all been gold bricked by Gar
rett, and there was no use la
menting over it. The import
ant thing to discuss was what
to do next. There is about TO-
600 acres of water to divide up
among the holders of
about $4,000 acres of water

ed to have a second committee
named to consider the advis-
ability of forming a permanent
organization of the water users.
AT that period the meeting ad-
journed to meet the following
morning at 10 o'clock at the
Commercial club rooms.
When the meeting was called
to order Saturday morning, an
equally large number was in at
tendance, but the commodious
quarters of the club made the
transaction of the business
much easier. The committee
appointed to interview the COM
pany made its report and among
other things expressed itself as
we'll satisfied that the proposals
were made in good faith, and
that the company was in a posi-
tion to carry them out. This
report was accepted by a unani-
nous vote. A question was
however raised by Attorney Nc
Cracken of Boise, representing
a number of North Dakota wat
er right holders, as to the finan-
cial standing of the Seattle
Holding Co., and he suggested
that the committee be instruct
ed to look into that matter,st
ing that he had reliable infor-
nation that there was no such
company in existence, and that
the men named as composing it
were not rated collectively at
higher than $500, 900, or about
one fourth of the amount neces-
sary for the carrying out of the
plans for the completion Of the
system He was ansewred by B.
S. Sherman and E. G. Helfrich,
who took the position that il
was immaterial what the com
pany was or had, since it must
demonstrate to the state it was
able to do the work before
Carey Act segregation would
be granted. A resolution was
then introduced and passed tc
the effect that it was the sense
of the meeting that the lands
under the system should be put
under the Carey Act, either in
accordance with the company's
proposals, or otherwise.
The committee on permanent
organization was then called for,
and reported that it approved
the plan to effect such an or
ganization, but recommended
that the Mountain Home and
the Sunnyside water users or
ganize separately. This report
was adopted and it was further
voted to call meetings of the
users from the two sections at
once, and that each should Sc
