negotiations and stated that all ar
rangements were concluded for the
construction of the plant excepting
the signing up of the contracts by
the Sc tiers and land holders to come
under the system. The contracts
will not be submitted for a few
weeks yet as the project must be
passed upon and recommended by
the State Land Board before the sys-
tenn is fully assured.
This is made necessary only .since
the last session of the Legislature
and is one of the bills drawn by SEN
ator Carl A. Davis and enacted into a
law. 1t provides that all private
irrigation systems must be approved
by the State Land Board same as the
Carey Act projects, and further.
should one acre of water be sold more
than the system is capable of furr-
ishing, the company would be liable
to prosecution. This is a splendid
law and. although a little late. will
make Idaho water rights more GER

the past
Mr.. Shelter intends to begin work
on the plant before the middle OF
summer. 1t will be in readiness fol

be delivered to all the lands under
the system in ample time for early

the kitchen from an explosion Of coal
oil lamp, she rushed upstairs in m
effort to reach her little one, only to
be driven back for fear of suQocaticn.
Through the flames she fed from the
house to the home of the neiHhbor.
| crying for help, where she soon be-
came unconscious from the effects Of
her painful burns dying, three hours
later. Her last words were concern
ing the safey of the child. From the
first lapse she never reRained con-
sciousness- The origin of the fra
could not be learned.
The body of the child, although
search was made yesterday afternoon
in the debris, has not been found /:
was evidently buried to q cinder.
Mr. Breyer is working at present
on the night shift at the Bagdad-
Chase mins. and wss therefore away
from home when the fire occurred. BY
the time he had been notified of the
fire and reached the scene of the con-
flagration. his home was in ashes. has
