WILL SOON OPEN GATES.
Water for Miner Segregation Will
Be Turned Into Canal.

While in Miner recently County As
sesser, J. E. Wheeler, inspected the
new irrigation works there. The head
gates and water gates were being COM
pleted so that in a few days the water
will be turned into the big North Side
canal and water distributed to the en-
tire thirty thousand acres of the first
segregation in good season for spring
use. Mr.. Wheeler was deeply impress
ed by the solid and substantial nature OF
all the works works that are built to
stand the tests of any emergency for
years and years to come. With mill
lion dollar dam to start with and the
big canal and numerous laterals success
fully distributing water to the South
Side tract and the first segregation OF
the North Side tract ready to receive
water in few days, the claims of the
company that the second segregation OF
the North Side tract consisting of one
hundred and fifty thousand acres will
receive water in time for use next sea-
son is evidently well founded. And all
those who have already secured claims
in this second segregation Of the North
Side tract and all who later may make
purchases therein may feel reasonably
certain that their land will receive wat
er for irrigation purposes in good time
for next seasons crop. Fortunate in
deed are the people who have lands in
the Twin Falls South or North Side
tracts for the climate is unexeelled, the
soil the best in the world and the water
supply practically unlimited.

MORE LIGHTNING FOUNDERS.
New Federal Law Makes Jobs for
Extra TeIegraphers.

The Short Line, in compliance with
the new federal law which went into
effect the first Of the month, has put
on three operators here in Shoshone,
Mike Morton being the third regular
man. He has been at American Falls
for some time past. The new law pro-
vides for 9-hour work day, TO mini
mize the chances for the accidents
through the excessively long and sleep
less hours sometimes required in the
past. So far, at least, the company
has not offered to cut wages, tho some
small stations have been shut up, Ike
Kimima. It is expected that the new
law win make places for a number Of
new men, and that the places may be
filed with operators who come from
other roads to the east and southeast,
where a cut in wages is threatened,
although no reduction is reported

Idaho Irri9ati' Park for ShOshOne
Suggestion That May Be
Just What the City Has
Been Waiting for
A Business Move

Why should not Shoshone have a
park?
The proposition has been made that
the city buy up the whole block east Of
the Little Wood river bridge and con
vert it into park. This would have
double value: Itwould give fine pub
lie enterprise chance to grow, and it
would remove the present undesirable
businesses from there, 50 that they
might be established in less public
place.
The cost would not be excessiye-not
half what it would be worth. The city
already has obligations to meet, it is
true, but with the rapid growth Of other
towns around It, Shoshone will have to
hustle to keep up in the race. Now,
Shoshone is ahead, with churches,
schools, shade, electric lights, water
works and the other things that bring
people to the more advanced town. 1t
viii cost little TO keep ahead, especially
as Shoshone is on the main line and has
so long start. But little more Of
the jealousy and knocking DISPOSE
ton, and some Of the other towns may
within a year or two get ahead. 1t
doesn't take much of majority to
move a county seat. It is up to the
voters and property owners here to
figure whether it Isn't better to spend
a few thousand dollars in the improve
ments that will keep Shoshone IN the
lead, rather than TO lose the county
seat and the present established pres
tige, with perhaps several hundred
thousand dollars of real values. For
with another town carrying away this
prize, Shoshone wouldn't be what 1t
now is, let alone growing as 1t ought to
grow with the marvellous development
of the county that must come in the
next five years.
The Journal will stand for any kind
of a park or other public improvement.
Who will join in and help make it go.

Prospect that Clouds Will
Soon Pass and Project
Go on According to
Original Plans.

A lien was filed Saturday in Blaine
county for SAT. 900, against the Idaho
Irrigation Company, for work done by
Slick Brothers, contractors for the com
pany's dams and canals. The same lien
was filed this week in this county. This,
however, does not cover all the com
pany's Indebtedness to them, which is
about SO, 600. No present steps are
being taken to foreclose the lien, it be-
ing merely an ordinary business pre-
cautionary measure. Slick Brothers
are continuing their work on the dam
and the head gates, as though nothing
had happened.
Mr.. Everdell who went east three
weeks ago to try and re-fnanee the
company, has written some very en-
couraging letters, which indicate that
he may be successful any day. There
is no reason to believe otherwise. The
company is not at all badly involved,
considering its magnitude. 1t has one
of the best projects in the West. Mon
ey conditions are getting much better,
and good investments are becoming
popular again. Such an investment as
this needs only to be explained, TO be
in demand. Indeed, there are several
investors now ready to take it over, if
the present company cared to let go.
1t is understood that an important
meeting is being held today at Boise,
attended by number of the interested
parties. 1t has been intimated that a
complete adjustment of the company
affairs may be brought about.
But whatever plan may be adopted,
the settlers are absolutely protected by
the company's bond to the state land
board. The direct creditors hold their
claims against the stockholders and
these creditors are not worrying. Slick
Brothers, the heaviest creditors, are
still working. Probably the next heav-
lest local creditor says that everything
is all safe. The Journal, with heavy
open account, with two land filings un-
der the project, and with large inter
ests at Gooding partly dependenton the
company success, is confident that all
will shortly be well. A little conf
dence, little patience, and the whole
project will make good its first roseate
promises.
The Journal would confidently advise
its friends to buy lands now under the
company segregation; for the company
must soon recover, start business again
in dead earnest. and then in the rush
a lot of the timid ones who most need
to make good investments are bound to
be shut out.
Do it now, and help boost.
