VIM. HOLMES
CHARGES GRAFT

Sheriff Breshears was in town
Saturday to serve warrants for the
arrest of William Holmes and Mar
tin Smith. They were charged with
failure to comply with the law re-
garding the inspection of stations.
They paid the fine of $25 under pro-
test and were released. The deputy
state veterinarian who was sent here
to inspect stations and caused the ar
rest of these two men needs a little
investigation himself, if the story
told by Holmes and Smith is true. In
drawing up the complaint the deputy
charges he was ordered out of the
yard by Holmes and refused permits
sion to inspect the horse. Mr.. Holmes
says this statement is untrue; that he
afforded him every Opportunity to
perform his duty. Mr.. Holmes further
says that the real reason for his ar
rest was because he refused to be
held up, the deputy demanding an
additional fee of $40, which is double
that allowed by law.-Emmett Index.

SECRETARY AP-
PROVES CONTRACT

A dispatch from Washington says:
The contract with the Nampa-M erid-
ian irrigation district and the Pay
ette-Boise Water Users association
by which the United States is given
the use of the canals and laterals of
the Nampa-Meridian irrigation dis
trict for the reclamation of certain
lands belonging to the Payette- Boise
project, has been approved by the sec
rotary of the interior. The govern
ment is given the right to extend and
enlarge all existing canals and lat
erals, and the adjustment of all ex-
penses of operation and maintenance
is to be effected according to the
terms of the contract. The lands
consist of about $4,000 acres which
can be more cheaply irrigated by
means of the canals and laterals of
the district, hence the decision of the
government to not build new canals.

GAG rule AMONG
THE SOCIALISTS

The Titus wing of the Socialist
party are down and out in the state
of Washington. At the convention
held at Everett, July 4th, the flow
ers of DIR. Herman F. Titus, were sat
down upon by their fellow anarchists.
The Titus gang then held an open air
convention for the purpose of de-
nouncing the triumphant comrades.
1t was red hot affair, much like an
Idaho Democratic convention. It
probably means the beginning of the
disintregation of the party. Titus in
his paper, says it was mob conven-
ton and that by gag rule the consti-
tuition of the party was defied and
overridden.

ITS WASTING Time til
TALK OF REIMBURSEMENT

The Nampa Leader-H Herald advo-
Gates recompensing breweries, So
looms and what nots, when put out of
business by the people. The argu-
ment the Leader-Herald puts forth
is that brewers, distillers and sa-
loon men invested money in business
that the law afterwards destroyed,
and are entitled to reimbursement.
The idea is neither new nor original,
though it has been some time since it
was seriously advanced by thinking
men. Of course the Leader-Herald
has no thought that such a thing
could, would or should be done. The
idea is to create sentiment for the IL
quor interests. The campaign waged
by the Nampa paper will not do even
that. The government grants a Ii
cense to manufacture or sell as the
case may be, for period of one year.
A man who buys such license knows
that the law suffers the manufacture
and sale of the liquor for the period
specified. If that man spends money
on costly buildings, machinery, fur
niture or fixtures, he is doing so at
his own risk. He knows that the peo-
pie can prohibit the sale of the man
ufactured product at any time. If
he sees fit to engage in the manufac-
ture of an article that is under pub
lie disapprovel he must suffer the con-
sequences. 1t would be as reasonable
to expect the public to reimburse the

Sights OF THE
EXPOSITION

Seattle, July 16.-A beautiful art,
long lost to the world, is noticeable in
the collection of Japanese arts and
crafts exhibit of the Alaska-Yukon-
Pacific Exposition. Several hundred
years ago, an isolated village of
Japan was famous as the home of a
family of artists; from their skillful
hands came specimens of metal work
manship of such wonderful faithful
ness, that an obscure hamlet became
the Mecca for art collections from all
over the most artistic nation of the
world.
Out of stubborn iron, the slender,
nervous fingers Of this family
wrought reproductions of animals,
birds, flowers and men, whose beauty
and truthfulness was wonderfully
marvellous. For the effects accomp-
lished, nothing other than the erudest
metal and simplest implements were
used. Yet there was one other fea-
ture called into use, and this was the
knowledge and skill required. This

IRRIGATIONISTS
ARE ORGANIZED

Articles of Incorporation of the
Caldwell Northside Land and Irri-
cation Co., were filed Tuesday. The
capital saock is $1OO,OOO.OO, each
share is of $4,000 par value. The
incorporators are: G. D. Smell, Jr.,
Frank J. Smith, S. S. Foote, E. A.
Clark, F. e. Fisk, J. B. Gowen and
B. M. Holt. Seven hundred dollars
of the stock was subscribed for.
The object of the company is to
promote the reclamation of the north
side of the Payette-Boise project by
private capital, in case the govern
ment withdraws, or decides it cannot
proceed with the work. The company
will go to work at once securing con-
tracts with the homesteaders. These
contracts will not be effective in case
the government decides to proceed
with the reclamation of the tract.
However, a great saving in time will
be thus affected in case of abandon
ment by the Reclamation Service.
The incorporators are we'll known
business men Of Canyon county.
Their sole interests are in promoting
the welfare of the settlers. Land
owners need not be afraid of signing
up as these men will fully protect
them. The main consideration is the
reclamation Of this great tract of
land. Whether the project is under
taken by public or private capital
makes little difference to any con-
cerned.

Of BALLOTS
Will SOON CLOSE

A newspaper voting contest, like a
political contest, becomes uncertain
as the day of election approaches.
Clever candidates sometimes con-
ceal the point of their greatest
strength in order to keep thei oppo-
nents from exerting themselves.
That there are great punches of re-
serve votes in the Tribune's contest
has just come to the knowledge of
the Contest Manager.
Surprises are in store for some
candidates who imagine that they are
perfectly secure in their positions
which they now occupy in the score
list. Rivals lower down are bound
to go above them.
AS accounts now stand in the con-
test office several candidates are neck
and neck for first place in each of the
districts. Every candidate with pres

manufacturers of gambling devices,
because their business was destroyed
by law prohibiting gambling.
Before the law a man is suffered
to engage in the liquor traffic for a
specified length of time, under care
fully prescribed conditions and re-
strictions. The law that permits an
undesirable traffic under penalty can
increase that penalty until it absolute
ly prohibits; or it can refuse to per-
nit the traffic at all. The man who
engages in the liquor business does so
with eyes open. While permitted to
do business he demands and exacts
an immense profit, because he real
ICES at any moment he may be denied
the privilege of conducting such a
business. 1t is a business hazard
GUS in the extreme and the span Of
life is precarious. If a person is
willing to invest in such an enter
prise he is entitled to neither SYM
pathy or reimbursement. 1t is
waste of time to discuss this phase
of the question.

MATTER OF HEALTH BY C. ]. S.

The blood is the life of man. Any
thing that will fill the body with
good, rich, red blood should be eager
ly taken in by him. The blood comes
from the potatoes, meat, bread and
other things that come into the
stomach. Therefore, the matter SIM
mers down to this: 1t is not what a
man eats, nor how much or how little
he eats, but what he digests that
counts-what he assimilates and
makes a part of himself. The more
one assimilates the more red blood he
has, the more red blood he has the
more energy, power and force he
possesses. 1t takes plenty of good
blood to do things in this life, there
fore get good blood. A man is fool
ish to eat more than he can digest; he
is Just as foolish if he does not eat all
he can digest. The brain and body
need plenty of good blood, only the
brain needs more than the body. A
we'll nourished brain, therefore ought
to do more and harder mental labor
than a poorly nourished brain. A
we'll nourished body ought to do more
labor than a poorly nourished one.
A man should exercise a little every
day in the open air, but he should
never overexert. And all labor must
be done cheerfully, else it doesn't
count. To stoke up the body takes
about ninety minutes day; to digest
this fuel takes from six to eight
hours in healthy person and longer
in a sickly one. In mental labor,
therefore, it seems natural that for
every hour of careful, attentive study
man should give four hours of re-
Election. But the main thing is to
have good, red blood; after that get
mental culture, and such. It will
come easier, life will be sweeter and
pleasanter. We only wear this body
for a time, we may keep our intellect
for eternity. If this is true, let the
body have peace, for in an eternity
IF living we ought to acquire lots Of
culture; if intellect is only for time
in a little while we shall not know
what we have missed.

ent prospects of winning is closely
pressed by one or more rivals.
Because of the votes now held in
reserve in the hands of the candidate
and by the subscribers who have paid
the last few days the present score
as published is not wholly to be de-
pended on as showing the actual rel
alive standing of the contestants.
The increase in votes since the
last count are principally due to SUBJ
scriptions voluntarily sent in by the
friends of the candidates.
The results of the contest really

SOUTH SIDE BRANCH To
Caldwell IS AUTHORIZED

AT a meeting of the directors Of
the Minidoka & Southwestern Rail-.
way Co., held at Pocatello Monday
morning, the extension Of the Bull
branch to Caldwell was definitely de-
cided upon. The articles of incorpor-
alton of the road were amended to
provide for the construction of an ex-
tension to the present branch from
Minidoka to Bull westward through
Twin Falls, Owyhee and Canyon
counties, rejoining the Oregon Short
Line at Caldwell, a distance of 162
miles; for the construction of a
branch from this extended line, COM
mencing at point about ten miles
west Of Bull, northward across Snake
river to a connection with the main
line at Glenn's Ferry, distance Of
81 miles; and for the construction
of a branch from Burnley south to
Oakley, a distance of 25 miles. The
meeting of the directors was presided
over by G. K. Smith of Salt Lake,
secretary of the Minidoka & South
western Company. All the stock was
represented in person or by poxy. The
meeting was held in the office of
Superintendent Jones of the Oregon

$6,649, $4,000. Last year the assess
ment was $5,747,0OO.OO. The rail-
road, telegraph and telephone lines
were assessed last year at $1,0OO,O0O.

tending its line on the south side Of
the Snake westward through the gil
gantic proposed Twin Falls Owyhee
irrigation project, means that the
Kuhn-Buhl interests Of Pittsburg,
financial hackers of the immense Twin
Falls north and South sides and Sal
mon river projects, will go ahead with
their Owyhee segregation of approx
imately800,000 aces. Frank H. Buhl,
the Pittsburg millionaire, stated pub
licly not long ago that if the Short
Line decided to build this extension,
he would finance the great Bruneau
or Owyhee project and thus add an
other empire to the irrigated districts
of Southern Idaho.
The poposed branch from Burley
to Oakley is also considered a most
important one, as it will open up a
fertile region that had lain dormant
too long.
The proposed branch from Bull to
Glenn's Ferry will follow the south
side of the Snake northwestward to
a convenient crossing into Gilmore
county. It will not, as hitherto be-
lieved, traverse the Hagerman valley
in Lincoln county, but will very likely
be used as a cutoff for the use Of
heavy freight trains, as it will elimi-
nate King Hill, one of the heaviest
grades on the main line of the Short
Line.
