PUSHING WORK
AT CRANE FALLS
Western Electric Company's Pro-
ject is Well Under
Way

From w. E. Smith, represent
ing the W Western Electric Com
pany, who spent several days
in Twin Falls last week, the in
formation was gained that this
big corporation is taking every
step possible to perfect its loca-
tions of power along the Snake
river, in this county.
Mr.. Smith had just arrived
from the Salt Lake headquart-
ers OF the company, with in
structions to secure as much as
possible of all the other power
the river affords.
"The company's investmest-
ments in this vicinity" said Mr..
Smith, 'look very promising.
At Crane Falls, thirty-fye miles
west of Twin Falls, our assess
ment work is all done. It has
been under the direction OF Dan
Shelter of Mountain Home.
That project will develop 5000
horse power at low water mark,
and this company proposes to
sell this power for the elevation
of water for irrigation on tracts
where water is unavailable by
other than pumping methods.
"When the plant is completed
as the company expects, it will
serve to bring under yield a
great many thousands of acres
between Mountain Home and
Bruneau.
1t is a mistake to suppose
that nearly all the power Of the
Snake river has been utilized.
Much more will be brought in
to service in Twin Falls county
as the years go by and more
capital becomes interested"

Lively at Rupert

Rup ert Pioneer: The arrival
Saturday of Mr.. Ashton, chief
engineer of the Short Line sys-
tenn, a construction train of
over 100 Greeks and a train
load of material marked the
commencement of activity at
Rupert in connection with the
construction of the new road
from Rupert to Bliss. Material
had piled up here to such an ex-
tent that the local yards were
completely blockaded and it was
impossible to handle the regular
train traffic. A temporary ma
terial track is being laid and
the material will all be unload
ed and neatly stacked up within
a day or two. 1t is piling in
here at the rate of several car
loads a day and includes rails,
ties, fence posts, culverts, etc.
Three carloads of 36-inch cul.
verts arrived Friday.
Lumber has been received for
additional buildings to be erect
ed here for the accommodation of
laborers. A bunk house large
enough for fifty men and a
warehouse will be built at once.
Chief Engineer Ashton and
Construction Engineer Nc
Donough left Rupert yesterday
by team and will drive over the
entire line. Construction out
fits are now at work all the way
to Bliss. An outfit of sixty
teams arrived at Wendell from
Nevada this week.

MINEAU LOSES in
ATTACHMENT SUIT
Court Sustains Non-Suit Motion
And Case is Dimissed
Tuesday

About the most important
case that held the attention of
Judge Walters in the District
Court this week was that of j.
A. Mineau VS.. The Imperial
Dredge& Exploitation company.
The case attracted more than
ordinary attention because of
the fact that a number of local
people were interested in the
result of the suit.
The Imperial Dredge & Ex-
ploitation company and its oper-
ations are now a matter of his
tory, which is reopened by the
suit of Mr.. Mineau. The COM
pany authorized Mr. Mineau to
locate settlers on land along the
Snake river and they, the COM
pany, would sell the settlers
water rights to irrigate their
lands. For his work Mr.. Min
eau was to receive a stipulated
sum per acre for every acre
filed upon by those who were
taken or directed to the land by
him. But when Mr.. Mineau's
commission had reached APP
proXimately $4,000 tie company
run out of funds and sold their
holdings to the Utility Power
company. 1t was understood,
so it seems, that the Utility
Power company would assume
all debts contracted by the I'M
perial Dredge and Exploitation
company in taking over the
business, When, upon presenta-
tion OF his bill, the company
would not pay, Mr.. Mineau
attached the effects of the com
pany last January.
When the case was called in
the District Court Wednesday,
it was ascertained that the
Utility Power company had at
no time acknowledged in writ
ing that it would assume the
liabilities of the Imperial
Dredge and Exploitation com
pany and upon this contention
E. M. Wolfe, attorney for de-
PENDANTS, moved for a non-suit,
which was sustained by the
court and the case dismissed.

NORTH SIDE TWIN
FALLS IS COMING
Planning Westward Extension of
Ditch Which Will Take in
Mountain Home

The promoters behind the
North Side Twin Falls irriga-
tion project may be backing
scheme to take over the pro-
ject of the Great Western Beet
Sugar company, better known
as the Mountain Home project.
1t is known that surveyors in
the employ of t e Twin Falls
people outfitted at the county
seat of Elmore county last week
and started off to make a sur
vey of the project, especially
the reservoirs and country from
which the water supply is to be
secured. With the affairs of
the Mountain Home project in
the hands of a receiver who is
to take charge of it, there is
claimed to be but one salvation
for the water users, and that is
cooperation with a company
capable of installing and financ-
ing the project.
The affairs of the Mountain
Home project are in bad shape.
While it is confidently expected
that the appointment of a re.
ceiver will do much towards
saving the system from chaos,
there is a difference of opinion
among those vitally interested.
The advent of entirely disin-
terested people to take over
the project and work out a feas~
ible plan by which sufficient
water can be obtained for the
irrigation of the rich lands
around Mountain Home, it is
claimed, would save the settlers
and at the same time pay the
promoters fer their time and
trouble. The Twin Fails pee
pie ar2 now strongly limited at
as the ones to take it over,
The fact that these promoters
have transformed the barren
sage brush country of the Twin
Falls country into a rich agri-
cultural community, as well as
brought railroads and electric
lines to that section, is a guar
antee the / they do things when
once in charge and this would,
many are confident, be the case
should they take hold of the
helm at Mountain Home.
Two large parties of Twin
Falls surveyors left Mountain
Home last week t )r the hills
and the vicinity Of the reser-
voirs. There were eight or ten
men in each crew and the only
information obtainable from
them was the fact that they
were in the employ of the Twin
Falls company and had been
sent there to make a survey of
the system. They went to the
Long Tom Reservoir site, where
they started operations, and it
is generally understood that
they are going to make a sur
vey of the entire reservoir sys-
tenn and canals. During the
past summer complete surveys
have been made by various part
les of all lands around Noun
tain Home except those of the
Great Western Beet Sugar con-
pany' When Judge Walters
rendered his recent decision
denying the petition of the
Idaho Fruit Lands company
to have the Great Western sys-
TEN and the Elmore County If
rigated Farms association de-
clared the property of the water

SYSTEM APPROVED
BY LAND BOARD
Southern Idaho Reclamation CON-
pany Gets Segregation in
Sunnyside Distr;e.

AT a meeting OF the State
Land Board held in Boise Satur-
day morning Messrs Yerkes and
Armstrong, representing the
Southern Idaho Reclamation
company, appeared before the
Board and asked for a segrega-
tion of 67, 900 acres of land in
the Sunnyside district, to be IL
rigated under the Carey Act.
After taking their proposal un-
der advisement the Board pass
ed on their proposition and
and referred the matter to the
state engineer for his approval.
At present this land, for the
greater part is settledupon, and
this necessiIates the present
owners relinquishing their hold
ings to the government and re-
filing under the Carey Act. The
water which will irrigate this
segregation will be diverted
from Fall and Lime creeks and
from the Boise river.
There is not a shadow of a
doubt but what this system is
feasible and can supply all the
water that is essential to irri-
gate every acre included in the
segregation. Governor Brady
has given this land his personal
attention and has invariably
lent an attentive ear toward
the suggestions advanced by
the settlers in the Sunnyside
district which would ultimately
culminate in putting their land
under irrigation. AS an evi-
d7nce that the people are act
ing in harmony with the COM
pany, and as a further evidence
that they coincide with the
Land Board in considering this
an effective proposition, almost
one half of the acreage coming
under the Segregation has been
relinquished, and the relinquish-
ments rendered the Land Board.
These were taken to Boise by
Senator Carl Davis, who is one
of the most extensive land hold
ers in the Sunnyside district.
The land holders who will be
benefited by this supply of wat
er are extremely jubilant over
the result of the efforts of Mes
srs. Armstrong and Yerkes, and
look to this movement as the
only practical one which will
put water on their land, and the
company fear nodifficulty what
ever in securing the required
relinquishments. 1t is almost
a certainty that the state
will report favorably
on the proposal, as the project
is practical and feasible and the
of the Land Board are
convinced that the company is
in a position to do just what
they say they will. Just when
his report will be made is not
definitely known, but it is anti
cipated in the very near future,
since water is promised by the
first Of April, 1911, and the COM
pany is very desirous to COM
mence active operations.
1t seems almost impossible of
belief, but it is nevertheless a
fact, that neither of the Boise
iailies published an account of
this meeting, although it was of
paramount interest to a large
number of their subscribers.
This is attributed to the fact
that it was an extra session of

SENATOR TAYLOR A
BEAUTIFUL ORATOR
"Happy Valley Pleases Large
Audience at Standard Iheater
Monday Night

peared at the Standard Theatre
Monday night, and for the hour
and a half that he held the
boards delighted his audience.
The house was comfortably
we'll filled and even the babies
drowned their fretting in a
maze of wonderment when,
in the midst of an anecdote of
the sunny south land, his voice
would break, for moment in
to a soothing lullaby, that the
colored Mammys sang when
the Senator was a boy.
To describe Bob Taylor with
mere pencil and paper would
be like unto drawing a picture
of the ethereal world of dreams
with a feather plucked from
the wing of humming bird.
He is impossible to describe.
A dreamer he claims himself to
be, and surely it must be so,
for no man could be gifted
with his beautiful thoughts,
only after the cares of the
world are forgotten and the
body is at rest. Efferescent
and turbulent with the happier
side of life, Nature is his home.
The green fields, the noun
tains, the trees and rivers his
Garden of Eden, and from him
this child of Nature, gushes,
like the pure crystal waters of
the fountain, the words that
warm their way into the heart
of mankind and they see thru
his eyes the lighter and bright
er side of life. He touches the
primeval man, stripped of the
modern speculative spirit.
His audience followed him
became a part of himself, as he
drew picture after picture of
the south land in his own jnim-
ical way, and only when he
would finish his picture with a
joke on his own people would
they waken with a hearty laugh
to find it was a mortal that was
speaking. A mortal, gifted be-
yond the sphere of ordinary
man, he stands alone in his class,
and in using his gift he finds
himself a blessing to mankind.
From this world of tears to the
happy land of laughter he car
ried his audience with the mas
ter hand and with the same ease
that Trevolopi3 charmed and
moved the Typh !. From the
lighter side of e he would
delve with the swoop and sud-
deness of the falchon, into the
grave questions of government,
and in this position paid a
marked tribute to the senators
from Idaho, o,only regretting that
they were not democrats.
After once hearing him it is
not to be wondered at that the
people OF his state elected him
to the office of governor three
consecutive terms and then re-
gretted his decision when he
said he would not serve again.
Senator Taylor left many
friends behind him. His entire
audience were his friends when
he had finished speaking, and
his leaving the stage was fol-
elowed by a deep sigh of regret
that "Bob' Taylor had come
and gone.
In his capacity, Manager
Cannon is deserving of the
