IRRIGATION DISTRICT PROJECT

On another page of this issue of
The Tribune will be found a complete
history of the Gem Irrigation Dis
trict irrigation project. The account
as given there is absolutely trust
worthy in every particular. To the
history of the project The Tribune in
Vites the attention of its readers. The
members of the State Land Board are
particularly invited to carefully read
the story, as it is unembellished with
fad or fancy, and contains nothing
but easily proven facts.
The State Land Board has in con-
temptation a Carey act segregation
and contract that covers a portion
of this tract. The Carey act promoters
propose to reclaim this land at the
rate of $50 per acre with the excep-
ton of 5000 acres which will be sup
piled with water for $50. The dis
trict proposes to furnish water at the
rate, of $50 per acre for the entire
tract, thus saving the people SEQ, 900
at the outset. The district has a
practical proposition while the feas-
Utility of the Idagon proposition is
seriously questioned by competent
engineers. 1t is openly charged that
the Idagon people have filed on water
that does no exis in order to make
a showing of practicability. Steams
which have water only after storms
are represented with steady flows.
The construction of a canal to con-
duct water from the proposed reser-
voir to the place of utility will cost
thousands of dollars per mile, making
the possibility of building the system
at a rate of $50 per acre out of the
question. But If the Idagon people
can construct their system and irri-
gate the land at an initial cost of $50
per acre, why should the people be
called upon to pay 1t when a com
pany stands ready to guarantee the
reclamation of the land at $50 per
acre? There is no question but what
the State Land Board, when It fully
knows the facts, will accept the Gem
District proposition. Blu there should
be no needless delay. There are set
tiers waiting for water. there is
company ready to go to work at once.

OIL ON STREETS VERY UNsAT
ISFACTORY

A dispatch from Vancouver to tbo
Oregon Journal says: The at+an-
ton of the city council will very
probably be called to West Eighth
street that some action may be tab
en- to remedy it The street was
oiled last summer, and the oil per-
mited to remain until the fall rains
commenced. 1t then became mixad
with mud rendering the streets AL
most impossible for teams or pedes-
TRANS. The oil causes the mud
to stick to wagon wheels and the
mixture is carried to crossings and
intersecting streets. Pedestrians 90
over the crossings and carry the sub
stance upon the sidewalks and into
their homes.
Some device will doubtless he
planed to remedy the condition. or
at least an effort will be made in
that direction.

CARY ACT PROPOSITIONS

Former Cover nor Mcconnell, some
time ago sounded a warning, as to
the prices of water Carey Act pro-
moters or builders, should charge.
The recent experience of a Carey
Act Company operating near Cald-
well, tends to justify Governor Nc
Connell's warning. The Idagon
Company made surveys and estiS
mates for the reclamation of a
tract of land on Snake river near
this city. The estimates were sub
mitted to the State Engineer and
were approved by him. According
to these estimates the company was
justified in charging $4,000 per acre.
1t so happened that the settlers in
that section had also investigated
and found that they could reclaim
this land at $4,000 per acre. There
was in the tract some 5000 acres of
state land. The Idagon Company
wanted $4,000 per acre on this land.
The settlers under a district project
proposed the reclamation of this
state land at $4,000 per acre. Then
the Idagon Company came down to
$4,000 an acre on the state land.
The point we wish to call particular
attention to 1t that the promoters
Of the Carey proposition knocked OF
S6O,000.00 in the total price rather
than lose this little 5000 acre tract
Of state land. What are the legiti-
mate profits on a Carey proposition
that is unquestioned and unhindered?
The state engineer in this case, as in
all others. passed on the proposition.

THANKSGIVING DAY PROCLANIA.
TON.

In faith and humility our forefath-
ers set apart day and gave thanks
to God from deliverance from In
dams, pestilance, and for the bounti-
full crops in the fall of the first year
of the history of New England.
The custom was adopted by all of
the States of the Great American
Union, and, like all of our National
customs, it's observance, with each
succeeding National success, danger,
or general continued prosperity, has
been more and more deeply imbued
with the advances of our Union and
its civilization. If each one of us
can, aside from giving praise to our
Creator for our own blessings, make
lighter the burdens of others and
give them reason for rejoicing, we
are showing in a substantial way the
appreciation of our own prosperity
Therefore, l, James H. Brady
Governor of the State of Idaho, dc
hereby designate Thursday, Novem-
Der twenty-fifth, Thanksgiving Day
and request that the people refrain
from their usual vocations, and, sc
far as possible, offer in prayer tc

for continuance of His favor.

THE OUTCOME is NOT UNCERTAIN

Politicians are busily engaged
now in trying to figure out who is
likely to get the Republican nomina-
ton for governor. The other offices
are not attracting SO much attention.
They will probably come to mind
later in the campaign. The Idaho
direct primary law is new thing
and politicians pretend they do not
know who will live to see the light
of day in the smash-up. In other
states, 1t is claimed, that under the
direct primary the particular crowd
that is in power is likely to suffer
defeat. The Tribune thinks that If
such things happened it was by acct
dent rather than design on the part
of the people. To our mind, under
the direct primary the crowd in pow
er has an Unreasonable advantage.
Unless men Of extreme wealth OPP
pose them, the officers will probably
succeed themselves. They are
known; they have prestige; they
have the organization, and they
have appointees all over the state
stirring up public sentiment in their
favor. These things are in no wise
wrong, but they furnish, naturally,
a great advantage. 1t will be SO in
Idaho. Governor James H. Brady
will receive the Republican nomina-
ton with little trouble. There will
be candidates who will have some lit
tie standing in their home counties.
The more candidates there are the
greater cinch has Governor Brady.
If there be only one candidate
against him, he will still be way
to the good at the start. And what
can the other candidate say against
Governor Brady? Time has hallowed
and custom has habituated the peo-
pie to look upon the man who gives
them good administration as en-
titled to a second term. 1t will be
up to the opposing candidate to
NHS OAS q SooO dSdAuSI InS GON-
ernor. We have Democratic papers
in Idaho. Those newspapers spend
two-thirds of their working hours
in trying to make out a case against
the present administration. Where.
in have they done it? The attempt
thus far has miserably failed. The
most that any of them has stirred uI
is the rumor that this or that politi-
clan failed of job after receiving
assurance. The people care little
for that, II those who got the jobs
are doing their duties. We have
heard little or no complaints
against the Governors appointees.
The Governor certainly stood by
his platform pledges on the impor-
tant questions. No one can charge
breech of faith on that score. The
people wanted a local option law.
They got it. The people thought

both and stood by his pledges. He
promised an honest, faithful, Ell

paign will be the denomination of

WASHINGTON, ID. c., January Is
Members of the House appropriations
committee are disappointed that they
did not know when preparing the leg
islative, executive and judicial appro-
priation bill that President Roosevelts
barber, William B. Dulaney, scarried
on the government rolls as an &C
countant in the Office of the auditor
for the Navy Department, and that
Mrs. Roosevelt's private messenger, a
man named Jackson, was carried on
the rolls of the bureau of engraving
and printing.
1t was said in positive terms this
morning that had this information
been in the possession of the commit
tee when the bill was drafted these
cases would have been looked into,
and, beyond all question, what are de-
signated as violations of civil service
law would have been stopped.
TALK OF THE HOUSE.
The Dulaney case has occupied the
attention of members of Congress for
some days. Jackson's status came up
for the first time yesterday in an in
formal way.
A reporter for The Star was told
this morning that Jackson while acting
as Mrs. Roosevelt's private messen-
ger had been carried on the census
Office rolls at $3.50 year, but not
long ago had been transferred to the
bureau of engraving and printing I'M
der the Treasury Department, at $40.
Dulaney was transferred on the
rolls from a 5000 job to the post pay
ing 81 800 in the navy auditors office
of the Treasury
Yesterday a member Of Congress de-
sirous of obtaining information on
the Jackson case called up the Trea-
sury Department, and was informed
that Jackson was assigned to the bu-
reau of engraving and printing, but
that it is supposed he is still at the
White House"
Members of the House appear IN
clined to crticise the President for
what they term his 'open and flag
rant violations of the law and the civil
service regulations" while sharply
taking to task members of Congress
for matters not in violation of law
and which, sentiment in the Capitol
has it, are trining by comparison.
A quiet inquiry is now in progress
in the Dulaney and Jackson cases and
with reference to many more similar
propositions that may turn up. Some
thing may develop along this line be-
fore long.

ART LEAGUE
PREPARES FOR
DRAMATIC EVENT

AS was announced in last Saturdays
Star, the Kilohana Art League will
give dramatic and patriotic enter
tainment on the evening of February
23rd as part of the official Washington
Day celebrations.
Preparations are going on apace to
make this evening one to be long re-
membered, and the members of the
success. Besides the three act com
league are taking much interest in its
edy, "PygmaGion and Galatea," a cur
tain raiser, "Washington's Birthday"
will be presented.
The Cherry Tree, which figures so
strongly in the old Washington-and-
the-cherry-t story which we all
KNOWN part-was planted on the
day Washington's father and mother
were married, and transplanted on the
day George was born. George had pro-
missed his father that he would not en-
ter the Kings service so long as the
cherry tree stood, and when Lawrence,
Georges brother, persuaded him to
join the Navy, the tree stood in his
way, So he took his little Ratchet
and cut it down.
The details of the affair are brough,
out in a very telling way in the sketch
which is an admirable piece of work
and well worth while.

THE HOUSE AFTER ROOSEVELT

from Alexandria, Va. Until last March
he was carried on the rolls of the
White House as a messenger with a
salary of 5000 a year. In that month
the President had him promoted to a
clerkship under the auditor for Cne
Navy Department at a salary o. ST.
600 year.
Before they were revised the civil
service regulations contained a sec
ton which provided that an employee
of the White House could be trans
ferred to another department in at the
White House Two years service at
the White House Immediately preced-
ing such transfer was condition pre-
cedent. But when the rules were re-
vised that provision was left out.
Comment was made upon the mat
ter at the time. 1t was said at the
White House that as soon as the Pre-
sident went to Oyster Bay for the
summer Dulaney would assume his du-
ties under the auditor for the Navy
Department. But when the President
went to Oyster Bay Dulaney went also.
Now his case is attracting attention
again on account of the recommends
tions forwarded to Congress by the
auditor for the Navy Department that
more clerks be provided for his office.
His force says the auditor, is insult
ficient.
AUDITOR DOES NOT FIND IT
STRANGE.
When asked about the Dulaney case
this morning Auditor Tyler, who is al
so colored man, said there was no
thing strange about It. He knew of
a number of cases of government en-
ployes assigned to special duty out
side the Offices on whose rolls they
were carried
Asked if Dulaney ever came to his
office, the auditor was non-committal
He added, however, that if Dulaney
were doing special duty he would not
have to come there-not even to draw
his pay. He could do that through
the disbursing officer of the Treasury.
I'VE expect to have him here per-
manently in a little while, though -
said the auditor.
He evidently meant that Dulaney
would. be in his midst on or about
March next.
