Tuesdays Fire.

Tuesday afternoon the barns
on the ]. ]. Fribley and L, Muir
ray Perkins places, in the block
just south of Cooper's stores,
burned to the ground, and it was
only by the hardest kind of work
that the surrounding buildings
were saved. The heat from the
fire was intense, and as the day
was very warm anyway, it seemed
for time as if the fire would be
worse. The heat set the hay
warehouse of W. J. Turley on
fire, and a small building just
back of Cooper's dry goods store
was set on fire, although it was
two hundred feet from the main
fire. The fire department was
unable to do any good in trying
to save the barns, and they
burned like so much finder. The
barns were both insured.

Louis Morgan, Inventor

Louis Morgan, % South Elev.
enth street, is the inventor of a
portable dark room, which will
be of much value to photograph
ers, both those engaged in the
amateur and professional work,
He has applied for a patent, but
has not yet received it. However
he is manufacturing them and
they are meetingwith popularity.
The device is a small affair,
just large enough to develop the
largest size plate or film pictures.
When closed it looks like an or
binary suit case and can easily
be carried around. Because OF its
light weight and demand for just
such an article, it will no doubt
be a very valuable patent.
The case is equipped with sew
eral shelves for trays and the
storing of the camera and tripod.
While engaged in developing the
film or plate, the developer pulls
a large cape attached to the case,
lover him and he can easily and
effectively do his work. In the
bottom of the case is a red light
which can be regulated to let in
the exact amount of light desired.
Mr.. Morgan, in speaking of his
invention stated that professional
photographers who are in the
habit of taking pictures of reun-
ions, family dinners and the like
can develop their plates on the
scene, by just setting up the port
able dark room, whether it be in
the house or in the yard. Fol
amateurs the cabinet is also suit
able as it takes up very little
space in the home. Other quail
fcations the cabinet possesses is
that it will be a saving to the
photographer.
Mr.. Morgan will engage in the
manufacture of them in this city.
He himself will go on the road
this summer and fall and thor
oughly advertise his patent as he
believes it will prove to be one Of
the best articles ever manufacture
ed for the photographers. Rich
mond, Ind, Palladium.
Louis Morgan is quite vel
known in this city. having visit
ed here quite often. He is q
nephew of W. E. and L. w
Price of Joplin.

Beginning at a point about three miles north Of
Rigby and following UP the river channel for dis
lance OF less than is miles YOU would cross the
headgates OF every canal discussed in this artcle
canal to every three-fourths OF a mile Over
100000 inches OF water flow out through this net
work Of canal veins to our farms Of over 100000
acres in extent.
Eight years ago water stock could have been
bought In any Of these canals for from I'D cents to
30 cents an acre. Today Its cost does not exceed
$500 per acre with an annual cost Of about lis
cents per acre for maintenance How does tins
compare with SIS and $40 per acre, paid FOR water
right elsewhere? These canals are owned BY the
people; they built by the people; they op-
Grated BY the people, and water title costs little be-
the people have not appropriated It for profit
What blessing the sturdy pioneers have be-
slowed upon the posterity who shall inherit their
fathers estates and also upon those who come
among us and buy homes! They have made this
valley fruitful BY their labors and their industry

stream. 1900 immense piling, at cost Of $500
EACH were driven to form firm anchor for the
large log cribs set firmly against them and filled
with rock hauled from the neighboring hills. Three
large spillways were constructed the dam thus
built, each 40 feet wide permitting the food waters
to pass over harmlessly and vet holding in check
sufcient water to supply the capacity Of the canal
The ice also passes over the spillways freely
the food waters Of spring. The spillways are con-
structed of heavy planking, making 1t impossible
for any drift wood floating bodies to lodge upon
the dam and thus check more water than Is desired
The HEADACHES
The river bed and canal bottom being Of q loose,
cobble rock formation, some protection for the
gates against its unstable nature was needed II
was decided on this account to build the floor walls
and abutments Of reinforced concrete. The floor
extends IL feet out into the river in front of the
gates and is laid SIX feet below the bottom Of the
river or canal making it impossible for the water
of the stream to ever wash beneath it. The floor
also extends considerable distance down the canal
The abutments and walls are built solid to the

the Eagle Rock and Willow Creek canal the first
to be constructed In eastern Idaho and irrigating
lands along the foothills to the SOUTH through Iona

The canal uses the old bed OF Willow Creek for ts
right-of-way for a considerable distance OF Its
course and Is again diverted BY means OF laterals.
The Anderson Canal
Is not part Of this great canal system, but Its
headgates are located within the same territory
covered by the other canals, and for that reason
give 1t mention here. Its point OF diversion Is
about three miles east OF Heise Hot Springs at
point where the river energies from the canyon and

On May LIST, 1894 the farmers in the neighbor-
hood Of Lorenzo and Annis north OF the Dry Bed
organized themselves into a company and appro-
priated 1b00 Inches Of water In that channel They
chose their canal route and proceeded to construct
their waterways. In the year 1899 1t became me-
cessary to change the site Of the headgate Or their
canal They moved the point Of diversion further
up the river In the year 1894 an additional $500
inches Of water was claimed and appropriated and
