WATER IS FILED ON
By Representatives of Payette
Boise Water Users Assn.

The early construction of the
North Side Division of the Payette-
Boise reclamation project seems to
be pretty near an assured fact. The
action of private corporations in
filing upon water rights in the
Payette river during the last two
weeks means that uni SIS Uncle Sam
declares his intentions to at once
begin work on this project and
carry to completion within the next
two years, private capital will take
it up and give the long suffering
North Side settlers relief at the
earliest possible time. This alter
native was communicated TO Sec
retary Ballinger during the confer
ence held at Caldwell last week,
and he has promised to give a
definite answer, in very b )rt
time. In order to make sure OF the
water. 5000 second feet of waters
of the Payette river was filed on
Monday morning, the point of
diversion being the the Black Can
Won four miles above Emmett. At
the same time filing of 1000 feet
per second was made on the v ,ers
of the Boise river. The total FL
ings will cover about 140, 900 acres.
According to the Capital News
this step was taken that the home
steaders of the Payette portion OF
the government pro. sometimes
referred to as the nortn side, might
be amply protected in case the gov
eminent would not be able to pro-
ceed at once with the the irrigation
of the Payette portion of the pro-
ject. The water was filed upon in
the names of the executive COM
1uittee of the north side as follows:
Walter R. Cupp, w. B. Compt'
w. S. Hawkes., w. B. Sawyer, II.
E. AIbertson and L. E. Bebh.
Letters were sent out todav to the
different districts represented on
the north side project as follows:
Dear sir and Fellows: 1t has
been suggested that it will be ad
visable that no contract or agree

LOOKS LIKE EXTENSION
Idaho Northern Officials &c.
Letting Aid in Long Valley

lohn LinRren who last week re-
turned from trip to Long Valley
says E. H. Dewey and Fred Barnes
are asking the farmers and ranch
ers in that section to raise bonus
of 20 an acre for the purpose of
securing the extension of the Idaho
Northern. He says the farmers|
while anxious to secure the road
anu willing to aid it in every way
possible do not feel able to paN
such an enormous price. 1t id'
estimated there are not less than|
800, 600 acres of occupied f3nd in|
the valley which at IS per acre|
would nealry pay for building'
the entire line.
The Capital News Wednesday,
coDfrms the report bought by Mr..
Iiugren. That paper say: In an
effort to 6rance the extension of the
Dewey railroad from Emmett to
Horseshoe Bend and up into the
rich Long Valley country, tapping
a virgin timber belt as well as one
of the most beautiful and produc-
tive valleys to be found in the state
of Idaho. the promoters of the ex-
tension headed BY E. H. Dewey
have asked the farmers, ranchers
and property owners in Long Val
ley to assist in the railroad con-
struction by the raising of a bonus
by paving to the promoters $5 an
acre tf their farm lands. making a
total OF thousands of dollars, which
amount it is believed will put the
road through. The plan. il is stat
ed is not meeting with a great deal
Of success, as the farmers hardly
feel that they can afford TO stand

ever, they stand ready and willing
to do anything in their power to

who are easily satisfied. Among

MERRY CHis,slMAs, THANH YOU!

MERRY CuitSlMASs IUANh 1OO' !
The news that the Home Electric
company has no valid FRANCHISE In
Greeley will be read with much sat
islaction Ly many Greeley people to-
day. and the straLgle hold which
that company thought II had on light
consumers will no doubt prove to be
anything but strangle hold before
the yget through.
Frankly, many people feel that the
Home Electric folks. whom the Trib-
une and others were boosting so
hard n year ago. have turned Judas
at the first opportunity, and thrown
down their supporters as soon as
they thought 1t safe to do so.
Because OF the fact that they were
home company. financed and man
aged In the main by local people.
they were given a very liberal light
ing contract upon their positive prom
ise to spend $4,000 at once in the
erection OF new plant to take care
of the business. Because 1t was feit
that we should not allow the big
Northern to irretrievably fasten it
self upon us for al time. we gave
the Home company practically every
thing It asked.
Less than two months later the
Home went over to the enemy. or
the enemy swallowed the Home. even
some OF its stockholders do not know
which. Any way, the Home ceased
to manufacture current. and their
promised $4,000 plant evaporated
INTO thin air. as did also their prom
se to keep a plant always ready for
emergencies.
Night after night. in fact. every
time II thundered or small boy
threw a stone, we were without light
and power, until the old-fashioned
candlestick became the most popu-
lar utensil in Greeley households

the fact that they contemplated 15
