UNIQUE WATER CASE
Judge Walters Takes Action on Pecul-
lar Case.

A rather unusual and anomalous
proposition of law was raised in the
district court last Monday on a mo-
tion to dissolve a temporary injunc-
tion issued in the case Of Tobey VS..
Bridgewood, ct al. It seems that
some time in November, 1908, Mary
A. Bridgewood procured a permit
from the state engineer to divert wa
ter from a subterranean channel To-
Gated on state land, and in Septem-
Der of this year commenced drilling
for a flowing well on this state land
under such permit.
After this permit was issued DR.
Tobey desiring to procure a reservoir
site on the same state land made ap-
plication to the state land board to
purchase a right Of way for same. and
his application was favorably acted
upon and he selected his site, which
included the portion of state land
where Bridgewood was drilling under
the permit Bridgewood refusing to
get off, Tobey brought an action for
trespass and set up equitable grounds
emitting him to a temporary injunc-
tion to prevent further drilling until
the matter was adiudicated.
In course of time the defendants
made application to dissolve the in
junction. The defendant was repre-
sented by J. G. Watts, who took the
view that as Bridgewood was on the
land when Tobey made his applica-
tion to the state land board commits
sioners under his permit he had a
right to the possession of the land
to develop the water called for in
such permit. W. L. Harvey, who rep
resented the plaintiff, took the posi-
tion that the permit issued by the
state engineer, merely gave the ap-
plicant right to divert the amount
of water mentioned therein and did
not grant the right Of way necessary
in developing such water and in di-
verting the same. These direct con-
ira theories Of the case raised the
question as to whether the laws reIat-
ing to state lands or the irrigation
laws should govern.
The court held that the applica-
tion to dissolve the injunction should
be denied, and the proposition be
tried when the case properly comes
up for trial Owing to the apparent
conflict between these two laws the
outcome of the case will be watched
with interest.

VILLAGE. .To INCORPORATES.
Glenns Ferry Holds Mass Meeting
and Votes to INCORPORATE.

A movement to incorporate the
village of Glenns Ferry was started
Saturday evening at a mass meeting
called for that purpose.
There were about twenty people
present whe nthe meeting was called
to order and number came in later.
Several tax payers were called on
to express themselves on the question
and all were heartily in favor of the
move.
The law providing for the incor-
poration of villages in Idaho pro-
vides that so per cent of the tax pay
ers in the territory to be .ncorpora-
ted shall sign petition to the county
commissioners praying for such in
corporation, that the metes and.
bounds of the proposed village shall
be described in the petition, and that
the name it is to be incorporated un-
der must be also specified. When
the commissioners are satisfied that
the required number of people have
signed, and that the village has
population of more than 200 people
they shall declare it incorporated.
enter the order on their records and
appoint five residents of the newly
incorporated village to act as trus-
tees until time for the next election.
A portion Of the taxes paid, which
now go into the county treasury,
would be turned into the village
strong box, together with the money
from saloon licenses and other licen-
ses and fines that could be collected.
The probable cost of a village gov
ernment will be several hundred dol
lars greater than the present form
but those in favor of incorporation
claim that the added advantages will
be worth the price.-Gazette

and in fact, many in this vicinity have
already placed orders for machines
as soon as they can be delivered
The firm has received word from
their patent attorneys that a patent
can be secured as there is nothing in

the model submitted. The nearest
approach is combined sugar beet

They have rented a part of the old
foundry building and purchased
greater part OF the machinery. They
are at work cutting dies and cutting
parts for a machine they hope to have
on the market in the near future.
In addition to the grubbing maehina
they are doing a great deal Of repair
work and automobile overhauling
Inquiries have been received from
parties in both Oregon and Washing
