FIREMEN'S BALL.

Time and space will not allow
us to make the report of the
complete success of the Fire
mems Thanksgiving ball that we
would like to.
A large and jolly crowd came
to help them celebrate, many
from out-of-tow Iplaces. About
100 couples danced to the music
of Lark's orchestra. From the
sale of tickets the Firemen re-
ceived about $135.
The receipts are very good and
the Firemen will thank the peo-
pie of Mountain Home who, thru
their liberal patronage, made
such a success and, incidently,
our fire department possible.

WHAT LOCAL OPTION MEANS

An overwhelming vote for pro-
hibition in Lincoln county last
Wednesday gives promise Of
great things in the future.
1t spells the reign of law and
order and promises a higher So
cial and moral development than
has been obtained in booze
cursed Idaho.
1t means that the reign of H.
censed lawlessness must cease.
With Lincoln and Twin Falls
counties, comprising the heart OF
Irrigated Idaho, solidly grounded
in the principles of righteous
legislation, as exemplified by
their vote on prohibiting the liq-
uor traffic, no prophecy can for
tell their influence on future
state legislation in the interests
of public morals and civic right
eousness.
The first move along this line
will undoubtedly be an insistent
demand for state wide prohibi-
ton.
The dry counties cannot rest
while the saloons in Boise and
Mountain Home are dispensing
death and destruction in the
name Of law and under cover of
a vitiated local sentiment. And
when it comes to a vote, the few
wet counties with their small
wet majorities will go down in
defeat before the heavy MAORI

PAYNES ENTERTAIN.

Tuesday afternoon Mr.. and
Mrs. G. M. Payne entertained a
number of friends and old time
residents of Mountain Home at
a delightful affair in honor of
their daughter Mrs. L. ]. Wea-
yer of Boise.
Everyone of the large crowd
pres ent was requested t o

and some interesting and well
told stories were the result.
Mrs. Swan and Mrs. Reynolds
were a tie for first place and
the drawing of straws gave
Mrs. Swan first prize. Mrs.
Marion House won the BOBBY

dates of arrival was made, a.
mong the oldest being Mrs.
John Pence, 1885, Mr.. and Mrs.
Payne, 1886, and Mrs. House,
1887.
A guessing game followed in
which pea pods were passed
around in a basket and upon be-
ing opened a question wasfound,
which form of entertainment
afforded great amusement.
The afternoon closed with the
3;aging of 'Auld Lang Syne"
and the affair pronounced a
success.

LEMHI COUNTY
vOTEDIDRY
Lemhi County is voted into the Dry
List by About Fifty Majority.
Stormy Weather Prevents a
Larger Vote.

The Idaho Daily Statesman
has the following on Lemhi's
election.
SALMON, Nov. 25. Latest
reports from outlying precincts
in yesterdays election indicate
that Lemhi has gone dry by a
small majority. Several pre-
cincts areyetto report but these
will not materially effect the
result. Conservative estimates
tonight place the county in the
dry list by about so majority.
The election was one Of the
most bitter and acrimonious in
the history Of the county. The
weather was disagreeable, with
rain, snow and sleet all day long,
thus curtailing the vote. The
storm seriously interfered with
the telephone service, making
great delay in getting in the
returns.

SUPREME COURT SUS-
TAINS JUDGE WALTERS
Decision Affnms the Opinion Of The District
Court in Appointing Receiver For Both
Systems Under One Management

The supreme court in pass
ing upon the order of receiver
ship for the Great Western
Beet Sugar company and Ell
more County Irrigated Farms
Association, for which the Ida
no Fruit Land company made
application to Judge E. A. Wal
ters of the fourth judicial dis
trict holds that it is within the
jurisdiction of the trial court
to appoint a receiver for the
property Of the defendant COM
panies. In affirming the de-
cision of Judge Walters, Justice
Stewart who is concurred with
by Chief Justice Sullivan and
Justice Ailshie, in the opinion
filed with the clerk, says:
l. When a plaintiff alleges
that it has acquired an interest
in an irrigation system by the
purchase of water rights there
in, and the irrigation company
owning such system becomes
insolvent and is unable to pro-
tect and care for it's property
and comply with its contracts
with the plaintiff to furnish
water, the district court or the
judge thereof has power and
jurisdiction to appoint a re-
ceiver for such irrigation COM
pany to preserve and care for
and operate it's property pend
ing the litigation as to the
plaintiffs interest in said prop
erty.
2. Where a foreign corpora
tion appropriates water for sale,
rentalo or distribution, and builds
a system for the purpose of sell
ing, renting and distributing
such water, the right to collect
rental or compensation, for the
use of water supplied by such
system, is a franchise; and
where such corporation leases
such system to another corpor-
alton engaged in the appropri-
alton and distribution of water
for rental and sale, and the lat
ter corporation becomes insol-
vent and permits the system to
become in disrepair and unfit to
be used in the distribution of
such water, the court has juris-
diction and power to appoint a
receiver of the entire property
of both corporations pending
litigation to determine the in
terest a purchaser Of water
may have acquired in such sys-
tenn.
8. Upon an application for
the appointment of a receiver
of a foreign corporation, where!
the title and possession of such
corporation to property is at
The Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1903-1909, 1909-11-27

! tackled, it is error for the trial
court to refuse to consider the
answer of such foreign corpora
tion on the ground that it has
failed to comply with the laws
/ of this state regulating foreign
corporations doing business
within the state.
We see that under constitu-
tional provisions the water ap-
propriated by the appellant was
dedicated to public use, and
that the right to collect rates or
compensation is franchise;
and when such waters shall have
once been sold, rented or dis
tributed to any person, who has
settled upon or improved land
for agricultural purposes, such
person shall not thereafter with
out his consent be deprived of
the annual use of the same.
The appellant, then, was exer-
cising within the state of Idaho
a franchise under the provisions
of the constitution; it was en-
gagged in serving the public. If
the appellant leased its irriga-
tion system to the Beet Sugar
Company, as alleged in the COM
plant, and others for water,
then the liability of the appell-
ant, under the provisions OF the
constitution, ought not to be
finally determined upon an ap-
plication for the appointment
of a receiver; but such ques-
tion should be left open to final
adjudication upon i1s merits.
According to the pleadings, the
Irrigatsd Farms Association
leased it's system to the Beet
Sugar Company, not only for
the purpote of serving its own
patrons but also the patrons of
the Beet Sugar Company; and
it appears for at least three
years the system has been so
used with the knowledge and
consent of the appellant. To
now hold, under this state of
facts, and after such system
has become in disrepair and un-
suitable and inadequate to sup
ply the persons who have made
contracts for water, that the
court has no jurisdiction to ap-
point a receiver for the preser-
walton of such property, would,
in our judgment, be a manifest
injustice to the plaintiff and
those who have made contracts
with the Beet Sugar Company.
The exact relation of the parties
oughtnot to be determined upon
a preliminary hearing such as
arises upon the application for
the appointment of a receiver
to preserve the property pend
ing the litigation.

PLANT A wlLp-FLowER GARDEN
Avoid Too Many Varieties, and Mass
the CoIors With Artistic Taste.

At present there is strong feeling
among Americans for wild-fower gar
dens in which the plants shall be en-
couraged to retain their native charac-
teristics, says Alice Lounsberry In The
Delineator for May. Many nursery
men now make a specially OF supply
ing plants for the wild garden. Usu-
ally II is better TO buy their stock than
to rely wholly on transplanting from
the woods. because under care plants
often develop exceedingly strong roots
which enable them TO establish them
selves more quickly and permanently
in garden than If just taken up from
their natural surroundings.
In my garden ! have a wild-fiower
corner, or IL might be called small
woods garden, since most of the things
dwelling there are true inhabitants OF
dense and quiet places. A similar et-
feet might be achieved in a border by
those who have not so large a spare
corner in their gardens.
The wild columbine has grown for
years in light, dry soil under the full
sun. Not Ear from the columbine there
snuggles In the May woods the snowy
orchid. The moccasin flower and the
large yellow ladys slipper. with other
members OF the evasive orchid family
are to be found in the woods of May.
In fact, these two mentioned beau
ties, along with the SNOWY orchid, are
the three representatives that have
come from their native haunts into my
garden. The large yellow lady's slip
per thrives perhaps the best OF them
all, and OF Il have established fair.
ly large colony.
Often mistake OF those who search
the woods for plants for their gardens
is that they strive to collect too many
species. II Is better taste TO have few
kinds and to have them in consider
able numbers The aim OF wild flow
ers In a garden should be to form
large, permanent colonies; as scat
tered individuals they are not sufi-
ciently effective.

PLAYTIME STORIES
The Fortune.

There once lived a farmer who had
large vineyard. 1t needed much
plowing and digging.
He had four sons They did not
like TO do farm work. They wanted
to go to the city and seek their for
tune.
One day the farmer called his sons
to him and said, There is a fortune
buried In the vineyard. Whoever finds
1t may have is for his own, TO use as
he wishes
Each son was anxious to find the
fortune. and started diligently to pillow
up the vineyard. All worked hard. but
none OF them found the fortune.
Harvest time came. The vines had
never before yielded such a harvest.
The sons had never before sold 50
many grapes.
Each succeeding year they searched
and dug for the fortune Each year
the crop was heavier and brought the
sons more money than the preceding
year.
AT the end OF five years each sor
had a large sum OF money saved.
Do you think they had found the
fortune?
