BOISE IDAHO, Sept. 9.-The
vets carried the election held here
yesterday by a majority of nearly a
thousand votes. The county pre-
cincts gave majority of $50 for the
drys, while the city gave a majority
of 1877 for the vets.
Last night the victors celebrated
in a good natured way with process
sions and fireworks. CHARM an
Kessler of the drys said tonight his
side lost because a large number of
taxpayers and laboring men We're
scared into believing that there
would be a disruption of business
conditions, slump in real estate
valuations and a scarcity of work.
Chairman Lamson Of the vets says
the issue was squarely drawn be-
tween prohibition and regulation of
the saloons, and the people, after
thinking it over around their fire
sides. decided to accept regulation
as against prohibition, that had been
shown to be ineffected as remedy
elsewhere. and which put into force
would disrupt commercial and midas
trial conditions.
"They wouldn't take this chance,
he said, "for the uncertain promise
of moral up-lift held out to them.

wears Walter was hard working re-

one day while working on the
Cincinnati Post he announced that
was going to quit the newspaper
business. 'I have written couple

So Walter went to New York
There his fighting for success be

Some mornings Walter didn
know where the money for his break

he slept in the parks.
Finally he got his play a prom

he told a party of newspaper men

WORK COMMENCED
AT GLENNS FERRY
Kings Hill Extension Company TO Irriqate
Medbury. Begins Work on the
System.

The long expected ditch, FRONT
which water is to be furnished the
Glenns Ferry valley, the hope of
our people for years past, is at last
under constitution and the dirt is
flying from day to day in a way to
make glad the heart of every prop
erty owner in this village Slick
Bros big No. 1 camp is set up just
east of town and their teams are fol-
lowing up the engineers as rapidly
as possible. The first 240O feet of
ditch is practically completed and
the right of way is cleared for full
mile and cross-sectioned by the en-
gineers. There is no difficult con-
struction work as yet. A 800 foot
fiume will cross the gulch where
Gorby & Bostic's picture rock quar-
ry is located and the ditch viii fol-
low the ridge for more than mile
west
The process of construction on the
canal is an interesting one. The en-
gineers go at the head, setting four
cross-section stakes each so feet
each stake marked in feet and tenths
with the amount of the cut or fill at
that point Then follows a clearing
crew who get rid of the sage brush.
Behind them comes the plows, grad
ers and fresnoes doing the actual
work, after which a finishing crew
levels all inequalities, leaving banks
and canal smooth and complete
While not nearly the entire force of
; the construction company is on the
job as yet, good headway is being
made and within as short time the
outfit will be able to turn out finish
ed canal at the rate of several miles
a week.
The plan of bringing water to
King Valley and Glenns Ferry from
the Malad was originally conceived
by a Glenns Ferry organization sew
eral years ago and the work was
started at that time to be abandoned
later on account of lack Of capital.
Then C. Fl. Hammett was induced to
look into the project; saw its posi-
bilities and the work was once more
taken up by the King Hill company
The task of irrigating this side was
turned over to a new company OF
which Mr.. Hammett is president and
C. W. Thompson of Lewiston, vice
president. L. G. Bradley is promot-
er of this company. having been IN
terested with Mr.. Thompson in the
system of reservoirs controlling the
water of the north. This reservoir
system has been merged with the
Kings Hill extension system ano
will furnish water for lands too
high to be reached by the canal from
the Malad. The completion of the
systems will bring under cultivation
some 1900 acres of land that has
heretofore been worthless desert an'
will put these valleys on the road t.
wards being the greatest fruit dis
tricts of the inter-mountain region
The engineering corps of the com
pany have set up their tents on tn
lots in the rear of the Jacobson
block and General Manager Bradle
is opening headquarters on the sec
ond floor of the Jacobson building
Work on the canal for the system
win be rushed to completion as rap
idlv as possible and it is altogethe
probable that Glenns Ferry and Med
bury will be supplied with waite
