CANAL COMPANIES CoNsoLIDATE
Will Form Union Waste Waterway
To Be Used BY All Of Those
Interested

Five of the canal companies on the
west side of the river had a meeting
of their representatives at the Brick
school house at Upper Thomas last
Friday evening to consider plans to
make a union waste waterway for all
their waste water. and after rather
lengthy session they came to an
agreement on a working basis
The companies represented are the
Watson Slough Ditch company, the
Watson Slough Irrigation company,
the Wearyrick Ditch company, the
Danskin Ditch company and the Tre-
60 Ditch company.
The plan determined upon was to
enlarge the Watson Slough enough
to carry the waste water from all the
canals named, and each company pay
its proportion according to its capital
stock or according to the amount Of
water decreed to 1t when the decree
is issued. The work to be done on the
slough is to be determined by joint
committee from the five companies.
and done under the direction Of the
Watson Slough Ditch company The
committee is to look over the work
this fall, and make an estimate OF
what will be needed and have 1t done
In the spring Of 1910.
\ The same committee is to investi-i
gate claims for damages done last
summer by the overflow and endeavori
to adjust the claims so they can be-
settled out of court.
Considerable information Is already
in the hands of the committee, that
was taken at the time Of the over.
flow, and 1t can easily be determined.
The damages were not very much In
any case, and now that the several
companies are preparing to meet the
claims squarely. there is disposition
on the part Of the claimants to trim
them down as low as they can afford

THANKSGIVING DAY PROCLAMA-
.... . TION L-.

In faith and humility our forefath-
ers set apart day and gave thanks
to God for deliverance from Indians,
pestilence, and for bountiful crops
in the fall of the first year of the
history of New England.
The custom was adopted. by all Of
the States Of the great American
Union, and, like all of our National
customs, its observance, with each
succeeding National success, danger,
or general continued prosperity, has
been more and more deeply imbued
with the advances of our Union and
its civilization If each one of us
can, aside from giving praise to our
Creator for our own blessings, make
lighter the burdens of others and give
them reason for rejoicing, we are
showing in substantial way the
appreciation of our own prosperity.
Therefore, /, James H. Brady, Gov
ernor of the State of Idaho, do hereby
designate Thursday, November TWEEN
ty-fifth, Thanksgiving Day, and re-
quest that the people refrain from
their usual vocations, and, SO far as
possible, offer in prayer to God and
charity to others their gratitude for
past blessings and hope for con-
tinuance of His favor.
In witness whereof, have hereun-
to set my hand and caused to be af-
fixed the Great Seal of the State of
Idaho. Done at the Capitol, in Boise,
Idaho, this sixteenth day of Novem-
Der, one thousand nine hundred and
nine, and of the independence of the
United States, the one hundred and
thirty third.

SNAKE RIVER WATER DECREE

Last summer we took occasion to
say through the Republican that we
thought it was time the text of the
decree of the waters Of Snake river
was made public, and since that time.
investigation has convinced us that
hundreds of people in the valley are
waiting rather anxiously for H.
Clients especially whose interests
are affected want to know and attOr-
news who have done work in the case
and waited until the decree is issued
to receive the second half of their pay
for services rendered, have come to
feel that for some reason unknown
to them they are required to wait
some years longer than they at first
expected.
About four years ago the whole
matter was placed in the hands Of
Judge F. J. Cowan Of Salmon City
C, G. Dietrich being the stenographer
upon whom devolved the task of type
writing the evidence. This work has
been completed we believe something
over two years, and we have been
expecting the announcement of the
terms Of the decree for two years
past.
In order to secure definite informa-
tion on the subject we wrote the fol-
lowing letter to Judge Cowan on the
18th inst, and we hope to have his
reply for publication in our next is
sue.
The Letter Of Inquiry
Blackfoot, Ida, Nov. 15. 90.
Hon. F. J. Cowan,
Salmon City, Idaho.
Dear Sir
write to inquire about the status
of the decree of the waters of Snake
river, asking that you give me state
ment for publication showing when
the decree will be completed and
ready for publication.
AS remember 1t, 1t has been
about seven years since the case was
taken into court. and about four
years since it was placed in your
hands for compilation, and the attor-
neys, clients and general public alike,
feel that after this lengthy period, II
the decree is not completed, it is due
them to have a statement such as
am requesting at this time, and to
the end that they may have 1t, the
columns of the Republican are tender
ed through which your valued COM
municatiOn may go to them.
Thanking you in advance for such
attention as you may give to this
matter, ! am,
Yours very truly,
BYRD TREGO.

SOME GOOD POTATOES

A representative of the Agricul-
tural college Of Utah has been here
looking for seed potatoes, and after
looking over many big bins OF ex-
cellent potatoes. he selected nine
sacks of Idaho Rurals raised by Geo.
A. Robethan.
He paid Mr.. Robethan two dollars
a hundred pounds and shipped them
by express to Logan, and seemed very
glad to get them.
Mr.. Robethan raised Az acres of
these potatoes and our farmers who
may wish to get pure seed can have
no better recommendation than the
fact that an expert from the Agri-
cultural college selected these after
a careful investigation.
Mr. Robethan's yield was $500
sacks, or an average Of 155 sacks per
acre,

PAYING DELINQUENT TAXES

Assessor Clarence Crowley has
made an effort to clean up the delin-
quent taxes this year and has sent out
notices to people who had unsettled
accounts. Some had small balances
against them, and did not know it,
while others had at different times
settled up such items in one way or
another, and had not received cred
1t clearing them on all the books.
These accounts are payable at the
aditor's Office and several hundred
persons have been in or have written
to make settlement. 1t has added
a large volume Of work to the Office,
and is clearing up the books.
