BUY CAREY ACT WATER
Ranchers Exchanging Water Rights
With Idaho irrigation Company

Within the past week, number OF
private land owners, whose lands are
irrigable from the canal system of the
Idaho Irrigation company, Ltd, have
taken from the company 2500 acres of
Carey water rights. The Idaho Irriga-
ton company will have certain
amount of water, clear and above the
needs of its Carey settlers, which can
be watered from its system. A settler
can purchase Carey right for his
homestead or desert entry at the cur
rent price of $35. an acre, in payments
covering ten years. By acquiring such
a right he becomes a shareholder in the
Irrigation company and enjoys all the
privileges which a settlers under the
Carey Act has. The Idaho Irrigation
company also offers certain allowances
to holders of private rights on either
the Little Wood or Big Wood rivers,
by which it is made possible for them
to exchange their rights for a Carey
water right. Considering all the ad-
vantages offered by Carey right,
furnishing stored water at all times
through the irrigation season, it is not
surprising that even the holders of
some of the Oldest decreed rights have
seen fit to take Carey in preference.

S. Wilson has returned from his
Chicago trip and expects his family to
follow in few weeks. In preparation
for them he is building on Second Ave
one of the best houses yet put under
construction. 1t will have seven rooms
with bath room, pantry, closets, recep-
tion hall and all finished in the best
manner.
The annual school election takes
place April 18th. The problems before
the incoming school board will be diff
cult of solution. Notonly will it be neces-
sary to provide more teachers and more

permanent school building but ar
rangements viii also have to be made
to put school wagons on the road to
bring the children from the country.
At last it is true, we have expected
it long but now it seems too good to be

The other day young Chicago matron
with a lady friend from Twin Falls
who was visiting her, mounted their
prancing steeds and started out to
round up three calves. When they got
over the hill they lost their bearings
and for seven hours, from 4 to II p. m.
they rode probably in a circle-lost on
the desert. By great good fortune
they happened to find Rockwell's camp
and were escorted back to their home
less than two miles away by several
gallant engineers. To cap the climax
the next day one of the ladies started
to ride through one of the numerous
shallow lakes that abound in the winter
and spring time and as she reached the
middle the obstreperous broncho took it
into his head to roll and by the time
our fair friend reached terra firma she
was sight to behold Never the less
none of these things move our pioneers
from the desert in sunny Southern
Idaho-and we predict that in less than
three years they will be successful.

Action Taken After Extended Ar
glmcnt Yesterday Afternoon-The

time at least Commissioner Walker
has not signed the order allowing the

payment will be made anyway, since
two members of the court sanction the
payment.
Yesterday afternoon the subject of
the detective claim was again up at
the court session and the subject was
discussed extendedly. District Attor-
ney Phelps was present and after ask
ing as to the fate of the bill suggest
ed that If the court was intending to
refuse payment to allow him time to
summon other people before the court
A discussion of the subject, pro and
con, was then INDUCED in. During the
same Judge Giliand, who has al
ways been favorable to paying the bill,
urged his colleagues to sign with him
in the matter.
This Commissioner Lee did, but at
the time Mr. Walker declined, nor
has he affixed his signature up to
this afternoon.

track at Oneonta Gorge. At that
point the roadbed runs along a steep
bluff on one side and the river upon
the other. The snow is .precipitated
down the mountain upon the track
and blocks the traffic.
Yesterday a big rotary snow plow
cleared the track for the local train
out of Portland and it was hoped No.
would also get through Immediately
afterwards. But when the latter
train reached the spot the track was
again covered and it was necessary
for the rotary to clear the track again
before the through train could pass.
Although there has been a heavy
drain on the water works during the
past few days the pumping station
thus far. At noon today Engineer
Brown. Of the pumping plant, re-
ported that there was plenty OF
water on hand. BY running the cleo
trical pump both day and night dur
ing the past three days he has been
able to meet the unusual drain. The
reservoir Is now full.
At the present time the pumping
plant is pumping a million gallons OF
water a day (of "a hours). This is
far more than the amount normally
required, the extra demand upon the
system being caused by the fact that
many people leave the water running
in order to keep pipes from freezing.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 9.-The an
nouncement by the president last
night of the details of the investiga-
tions by postoffice inspectors and Sc
cret service agents. including Sena-
tor Tillman's connection with the
alleged "lant grab" in Oregon
has caused a decided sensation in con-
gressional circles. Tillman seems to
be taking the matter as calmly as
anyone.
In discussing the Tillman matter
Roosevelt says Tillman called atten-
ton of the senate to a circular of
syndicate in Oregon offering the sale
of lands, particularly those in Coos
and Douglas counties, Oregon, which
had been granted to corporations by
the government, the circular stating
that the company in possession of
them refused to sell them according
to the terms of their agreement, and
that among those who have spoken
for a part of the land was Senator
Tillman.
The president says that Tillman de-
MED the statements in a circular and
expressed the wish that the postoffice
through its inspectors, would make
such an investigation.
The president says Tillman added
that he had not bought nor tried to
buy any land in Oregon and that he
wanted the people to note that it is
the swindler at Portland who has no
warrant whatsoever for endeavoring
to inveigle others into his game"
Tillman's Denial.
The president then says that he en-
closes the circular referred to in the
inspectors report, and Photographic
fac SMILES of letters, envelopes and
kilograms from Tillman and his agent,
w. f. Lee, as exhibits.
The president says that it appears
that Tillman wrote letters to Reeder
and Watkins of Marshfield Ore, who
were attorneys representing the peo-
pie who were applicants for the pur-
pose of OBTAINING a certain wagon road
land grant. Dorr was agent, making
his filings through Reeder and Wat
kins.
Tillman, in the course of his letter
said:
81 wired you from Wausea, Wis. as
follows and write you to confirm it,"
william A. Lee, my agent, will see
you about the land. I want nine
quarters reserved Will forward |
signed applications and money at
once. Members of my family are
Letter follows:
Sent Man to Portland.
Tillman adds that he wired Lee to
20 to Marshfield and see about To- |
'ating the land. Then Lee the presi-
lent goes on, wrote to Reeder and
Watkins telling them that he had ad-
,ised Tillman that it was a good
gamble"
The president says Lees letter con-
inued:
"Tn case Tillman goes in on this
leal with some good land in the eight
quarters we want, I am satisfied that
le can be of great help in getting
matters started from Washington and
'ause the government to get busy and
10 something along the line you de-
iire.

will be impossible to do otherwise
This will be very important for our
whole scheme to have a man OF his
influence here to aid you at this end

or cases to be tried out. But there
Is a possibility that some of these
will be eliminated through pleas of
guilty. 1t is understood that some
of the men now awaiting trial would
have pleaded guilty ere this had they
been given an opportunity to do so.
Under the law as 1t now exists
prisoners cannot be indicted or ar
raigned until the grand jury has
passed upon their case. This often
necessitates a delay Of several months
even when prisoners are ready to
acknowledge their guilt.
