NAMPA IS Still
SPENDING MONEY

The improvements that were direct
ed by the last meeting Of the city
council will aggregate nearly $4,000
to be spent ON city work.
The call for election to vote bonds
for $4,000 for new city hall, aud
$4,000 for a city fire departments Is
one that will surely be approved by
the people. Both these improvements
are actually needed and in regard 20
the establishment of the proposed city
fire department, C. r. Hickey, in dis
cussing the matter before the council
stated that saving to property own
ers in the way of insurance rates
would more than compensate them
for the expense that the bonds would
bring to them.
These improvements are just what
the people have been talking about
and they will certainly add another
chapter to the advance movements
that is bringing Nampa before the
country as the city that is doing
something every day.
The campaign of cement sidewalk
building was ordered that will add
again to the city development and
bring about a more beautiful place,
such as will certainly not be object
ed to.-Nampa Record.

The general committee for the pur-
pose of preparing for Caldwell's
guests, June 3d-Homesteaders Day
extend an invitation to the people of
this whole section to come to Caldwell
on that day. Ample preparations are
being made to take care. of and en-
terrain 10000 people. 1t will be a
sore disappointment if that many peo-
pie are not here. AS Caldwell has
literally patronized all the surround
ing towns on July, it is thought that
most of them will feel like coming to
Caldwell ON the date named. The
leading features of the day will be the
big public meeting to be addressed by

night watch until after the next term
of court.
The board ordered the prosecuting
attorney to have notices printed as
follows: "All persons, companies or
corporations who suffer any water
used by them for the purpose of irri-
CATION, or any other purposes, to flow
into or upon any public highway, road
or street, in any manner than that au-
thorized by law, are guilty of a mis-
demeanor, and upon conviction there
of, must be fined in any sum not less
than twenty-five dollars nor more than
fifty dollars, together with the costs
of suit, and for a second offense, dou-
BILE said fine and costs; and it is here
by made the duty of all road super
visors, constables, and marshals, to
make complaint before the proper
court, for violation of this section,
whenever notified or having knowl-
edge thereof" The above will be
found in the revised code of Idaho,
section 1889. The commissioners are
in earnest regarding the matter of
flooding the roads. 1t is not an infre-
quent thing to have portions of road
made almost impossible through the
carelessness of ranchers when irri-
eating. 1t is high time that something
is done to abate this nuisance.

MUST PAY
THE IRRIGATION TAXES

j. G. Rice argued the case of the
Pioneer Irrigation District VS.. o. S.
L. R. r. Co. in the supreme court this
week. AS this case is of considerable
interest in this section of the county.
The Tribune reproduces the opinion
as it appeared in the Statesman of the
9th inst.
When a board of county commits
sioners has included lands belonging
to a railroad company within the
boundaries of an irrigation district,
even though such land Is not benefit
ted by the system Of irrigation works,
the action Of the board is final and
conclusive against collateral attacks,
according to an opinion handed down
by the supreme court yesterday in the
case Of the Oregon Short Line Rail-
road company, plaintiff and respond
emit, VS.. the Pioneer Irrigation district,
defendant and appellant.
This action was Instituted in the
district court for Canyon county to en-
join and restrain the defendant irri-
cation district from collecting an an
nual tax levy made by the district.
Judgment entered by Judge Bryan
granting an injunction is reversed.
The opinion is written by Justice
Stewart and concurred in by Justice
Ailshie. Chief Justice Sillivan dis
sents.

benefit to the railroad right-of-way or
station grounds that it would be un-
just to assess the railroad for con-
structing the ditch. He also mentioned
the fact that for three years the ditch
authorities had in no way assessed the
right-of-way, and to come into court
at a later day on what seemed to be
second thought did not give them pro-
per standing in the matter.

The Idaho state band will give con-

have also been secured for free open
air concert and performance. 1t will

an irrigation project, 1t is held, are
subject to assessment pro rata ac-
cording to acreage just like any other
land. The town lots in Nampa which
were claimed subject to assessment
were decided not to be SO included be-
cause being within corporate limits.
although some California courts have
held that city and town property I'M
der irrigation are subject to assess
ment just as is farming land.
The railroad maintained that its
hight-of-way was in no way increased
in value by being under an irrigation
ditch and that for this reason it should
not be assessed to pay for the ditch.
But the court holds the law makes nc
distinction between what uses land I'M
der the ditch was put; that all land
was assessed in its natural state il
water could be run to it from the
ditch.
1t was argued that if farmer used
part of his land for barn or a house
that irrigation for these few square
feet was Of no benefit to him, yet ht
could not claim exemption from as
sessment for such surface space. Il
the farmer could not for his barn, ther
the railroad company could not for it

Chief Justice Sullivan, in a dissent

the sun, already well above the hori-
ION, was blazing upon them over the
CLASSY surfaces of the dying swelis
with fierce heat.
Winthrope felt about for his hat. 1t
had been blown OF when, at the stri-
king of the steamer, he had rushed
up on deck. AS he remembered, he
Strengthened, and looked at his COM
psnions. Blake lay snoring where
he had first outstretched himself,
sleeping the sleep Of the just-and Of

already awake. She sat with her
hands clasped In her lap, while the
tears rolled slowly down her cheeks.
"My-ah-dear Miss Genevieve,
what is the natter" exclaimed Win
thrope.
Matter? Do you ask, when we are
here on this wretched coast, and may
not get away for weeks? Oh. did SO
count on the London season this year!
Lady Bayrose promised that l should
be among those presented"
well, Eah-fancy, Lady Bayrose
will do no more presenting-unless It
may be to the heavenly choir, you
know"
why, what do you mean, Mr..

one on me. Won cos you Snent-
n0tta re- shent!" h''
You fuddled lout!" shouted Win
thrope. Come out of that pool"
''Wassama'er pool? Pools allri'!"
The Englishman squinted through
the driving scud at the intoxicated
man with an anxious frown. In all
probability he felt no commiseration
for the American; but It was no light
matter to be flung up barehanded on
the most unhealthful and savage
stretch of the Mozambique coast, and
Blake might be able to help them out
Of their predicaneat. To leave him
in the pool was therefore not to be
thought of. So soon as he had drained
his bottle, he would lie down, and
that would be the end of him. AS any
attempt to move him forcibly was out
of the question, the situation demanded
that Winthrope justify his intimations
of diplomatic training. After consid-
ering the problem for several minutes,
he met 1t in a way that proved he vas
at least not lacking in shrewdness and
tact.
See here, Blake" he called. in an
other lull between the shrieking gusts,
the lady is fatigued. You're too much
of a gentleman to ask her to come
over there" ...
1t required some moments for this
to penetrate Blake's fuddled brain.
After futile attempt to gain his feet,
he crawled out of the pool on all fours,
and, with tears in his eyes, pressed his
flask upon Miss Leslie. She shrank
away from him, shuddering, and drew
herself up in a huddle of flaccid limbs
and limp garments. Winthrope, how
ever, not only accepted the flask, but
come near to draining It.
Blake squinted at. the diminished
contents. hesitated, and cast q glance
Of maudlin gallantry at Miss Leslie.
She lay coiled, closer than before, in
q draggled heap. Her posture sug-
gested sleep. Blake stared at her, the
flask extended waveringly before him.
Then he brought it to his lips, and
drained out the last drop.
Time turn in" he mumbled, and
sprawled full length in the brackish
ooze. Immediately he fell into q
drunken stupor.
WINTHROP, invigorated by the liquor.
rose to his knees, and peered around
1t was impossible to face the scud and
spoondrift from the furious sea; but
to leeward he caught glimpse of q
marsh flooded with salt water, its
reedy vegetation beaten nat by the
storm. He himself was beaten down
by a terrific gust. Painting and
trembling, he waited for the wind to
hull, in hope that he might obtain a
clearer view of his surroundings. Be
fore he again dared rise to his feet,
darkness swept down with tropical
sudGeaness and blurred out everything.
The effect of the whisky soon
passed. and Winthrope hudd1ed be-
tween his companions, drenched and
exhausted. Though he could hear Miss
Leslie meaning, he was too miserable
to inquire whether he could do
for her.
Presently he became aware that the
wind was falling. The center of the
cyclone had passed before the ship
struck, and they we're now in the out
ermost circle Of the vast whirlwind
With the Consciousness of this change
for the better. Winthrope's fear-racked
nerves relaxed and he fell into a |
heavy sleep.

Laundry work at home would be

Starch were used. In order to get the

sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is

thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear

bic can be entirely overcome by using
