knew when you made that assertion. What we are trying to do and WILL do, is to have the excessive
 surveying charges reduced to req
 sonable and just amount. Any as- sertion or inference to the contrary
 is a deliberate falsehood. It is you
 and your colleagues who are at-
 tempting to extort these excessive
 and unjust charges from the peo-
 pie, and if there Is any additional expense. you and they will be re- sponsible for il. And where do
 you get your authority for infer-
 ring that there will be any addition
 al expenses to have an investiga- tion by the Interior department? l We are willing to be shown your authorities.
 You will remember, MT. Smith, that you had just as much to say in condemnation of the work and the manner in which the survey was conducted as any of us. Did YOU say anything to the survey
 ors about it.
 Ks to our being too late even if there had been graft or fraud, we beg to differ with you on any such proposition. Ne are only waiting now to hear from our appeal which . has been taken to Washington. When that arrives we will have something further to say, as we
 are confident that we are well with
 in our rights.
 Ne gather from your communi-
 cation, MT. Smith, that the Trustee
 has been iss. ing deeds. Ii such is the case he Is exceeding his in- structions in this as in so many other particulars, and the deeds
 are of no effect and void It is to bs regretted that you ard the Trus- tee show so much ignorance in the interpretation of paragraph II, un- der which he IS claiming to issue titles. Read that paragraph, MT. ! Smith, or get some one to read Ii
 for you. and see if it doesn't say
 To set apart 10 the persons er- titled to receive the same, the lots, blocks, etc. ;" and then explain If you can why tie trustee was ready to issue deeds under this paragraph 1 before the people even had a chance to learn the real costs Of the sur vey, and before the assessments
 had been pad IN FULL, as per paragraph F. That paragraph in
 its latter portion says, Upon the receipt of the patent, and the pay ment of ASSESSMENTS, the
 Trustee will issue deeds for the uncontested lots. -. :"
 , No deed shall be issued until the ASSESSMENTS upon the lots to
 be thereby conveyed, have been paved in full. You will observe
 that it says ASSESSMENTS" in
 each and every instance.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1909-07-01

The threat that we will have an- other bill attached to our already large assessment" (wonder how he came to acknowledge that?) has no terrors for us, and if you will read paragraph IS you will find that before the trustee can do any thing of that kind. he must report to the Commissihner.of the General Land Office, and receive his spe- cihc instructions. No, threats are better left unmade, for neither MT. Inman nor his sponsor, MT. Smith are in a position to deliver the goods, and it were foolish to make the bluff unless ycu hold the winning hand.

flow of the river and the tunnel carries
all the usual flow, not drop of water
can ever go over the top of the main
dam.
The center of the main dam consists
of solid steel sheet piling extending
across the river from canyon wall to
canyon wall 800 feet and reaching down
to he'd rock and 80 feet above it.
Besides the steel, there are two
other walls of native concrete built
across the river above and below the
steel piling extending 500 feet across
the river and reaching from bed rock
to the top of the dam.
The upper and lower faces of the
main dam are protected by feet of
loose rock.
The steel piling and the cement walls
prevent seepage. They are imbeded in
the mass of dirt and rock forming the
dam, 500 by 800 by 24O feet in dimen-
sions.
The Magic reservoir will form lake
nearly II miles long and several miles
wide in places with capacity of 2O5, =
600 acre feet.
The tunnel and spillway turn the
water back in the river from which it is
taken out by diversion dams lower
down stream and just above where the
main canals head.
There are two canals heading on the
Big Wood river below the reservoir,
one for the Richield and Dietrich
tracts, and one for the North Shoshone
and North Gooding tracts. And be-
tween these two natural water course
conveys water from the Big Wood to
the Little Wood river. 1t is called the
Big Cottonwood slough.
A canal leaves the Little Wood river
between Shoshone and Gooding and con-
veys water onto the South Gooding
tract
Water has already been turned in

The Idaho Irrigation Carey Act pro
ject, consisting of segregations along
the Big and Little Wood rivers in the
northern and central parts of Lincoln
county and containing nearly 200, 0Ol
acres of rich land has one of the bes
water supplies in the state.
Work on the impounding dam of the
Magic reservoir is progressing day anc
night and there is now sufficient
water impounded to irrigate every acre
of land that will be ready for cultiva
tion next season.
When completed this reservoir viii
hold 205, 600 acre feet and not one
drop of it will be needed for irrigation
till after the flood water of the Big
Wood and Little Wood rivers are ex-
hausted in the late spring.
No one who has witnessed the con.
struction of the impounding dam of the
Magic reservoir can doubt its soliGity OF
stability.
The contractors are themselves a
guarantee sufficient to warrant per-
manence, for they are none other than
]. G. White & Co. of New York, the
largest construction company in the
world backed by countless millions of
wealth.
The state of Idaho, through the State
Land Board and the state engineer,
guarantees a sufficiency of water for
all purposes of irrigation covering every
segregation of the Idaho Irrigation
project.
The dam itself is of the rock filled
type with the following dimensions:
Length across stream from canyon

is provided with headgates and tower
and is built of concrete.
A wing of the dam is continued on

ber of rooms to be supplied. The ma
terial of the building is to be rock and

pleted by April 20, 1910. The building
contractor went to work Immediately
letting out sub contracts and closing
all necessary arrangements for be-

fully realizes thathis time sor completion
is short. A force of men and teams
will soon be at work making the exca-

construction. The plan of construction
contemplates an elegant building with
heating plant and gymnasium and play
room in the basement and twelve large
class rooms besides library, reception
room and superintendent Office in the
main building. Material and workman
ship are to be first class in every parti-
cular. Adjoining as it does the beautiful

ing ample school facilities for years to
come. In the near future a twelfth
grade will be added to the school course
and with the election of a city school
the schools ofShoshone
will rank with the best in the state.
The school board, Messrs Fuller, Bowler
and Todd, are to be congratulated on
the successful launching of this public

Start Being Made Toward Busi-
ness of Great Possibilities
in Southern Idaho
COMMERCIAL TROUT RAISING
Kinsey & Kinsey at the Devils Corral and
A. M. Purdum near Haley are
Pioneers in Raising Trout

A new fish industry is being started
in Lincoln county by Kinsey & Kinsey
at the Devils Corral, just above Great
Shoshone falls.
They have water supply of 200C
inches of clear spring water and lake
of ample proportions for the business.
Smaller lakes can be made as the need
of them develops.
In the lake are trout about ready for
marketing which were obtained last
year from government distribution.
Now they are purchasing 400, 900
Eastern Brook trout from the Sultan
hatchery in Washington, private con-
cern. These are 8 inches in length and
in a year will be ready for market.
The price in Ogden and Salt Lake
ranges from 40 to 80 cents per pound
and the demand is practically unlimited.
The Kinseys will soon establish a
hatchery of their own as the facilities
for handling and raising trout at the
DEVILS Corral are practically limitless.
They intend to place the business on a
commercial basis and raise and market
trout for the money there is in it.
Another party who is entering the
same business is A. NJ Purdum whose
ranch of 320 acres is located one mile
north of Haley in Blaine county.
Mr. Purdum has lived in the Big
Wood river country for 27 years and
his ranch is literally supplied with
spring brooks just the thing for
trout industry.
Many years ago the beaver were so
plentiful on the upper river that they
constructed dams across one of these
spring brooks on the Purdum ranch
and they divide it into ponds of
convenient size for trout. These dams
have been broken down in places but it
requires little work to mend them.
Mr.. Purdum has been studingy the
matter up long time and has visited !
many hatcheries bothpublic and private. |
Several years ago he secured some fry
of the government comprising Rainbow,
Eastern brOOh duu SJeel IlcdQ tTOuJ.
These are now ready for spawning and
Mr.. Purdum will establish hatchery |
of his own. The Steel Head will |
grow an inch a month and finally be-
come large like the Bear Lake variety. |
Mr.. Purdum has 20 ponds and one
son devotes his time to the business.
The fish are so tame they will eat out
of his hand.
The Kinseys and Purdums are close
friends and they exchange experiences
and views relating to the fish business
so as to profit by each others successes
and mistakes.
The state hatchery at Hay Spur is
only a short distance by rail from
either Haley or Shoshone and Geo. H.
Isaac, the superintendent, is one of
The most experienced and successful
men who are connected with the busi-
ness IN the west. This is a very fortu-
nate circumstance for those who are
the business for commercial [
purposes in Lincoln and Blaine counties. t

Alice Speas VS.. Walter E. Speas.
On the 29ih John Frazer of Haley
pleaded guilty of forgery at Chambers
and was sentenced to the state peniten-
tiary for from one to fourteen years.
The following criminal cases were
disposed of: State VS.. Chas. McCarty,
the defendant plead guilty of obtaining
money under false pretense and was
sentenced to county Jail
State VS.. Frank Flynn, larceny, dis
missed.
State VS.. Walter E. Speas' for desert
ing child under six years, dismissed
State VS.. Dudley, larceny, jury trial
and verdict of not guilty.
The case of D. NJ Zent VS. Western
Loan & Saving Co., was dismissed.
The case of Mays VS. Meyers, fore
closure of lien fer lumber sold, was
settled,
The case Of Fred w. Goeding for
quieting title of real estate in Shoshone
was decided in his favor. There was
no defence.
Only one civil case was tried by jury.
that of Paul Shaffter VS. L. N. Huggins.
Attys. Babcock of Twin Falls and Lowe
of Burley represented the plaintiff
while Paul S. Haddock and Jas. R.
Boutwell, sustained the defense.
The case was hotly contested for two
days resulting in judgment for plain
tiff for $3.50.
Regarding the criminal charge
against Chas. DeWhite and Jas. De-
Noon for selling liquor without license,
appealed from probate court, DeWhite
served out his time in Jail and DeNoon
paid his fine.
The only criminal case to be tried by
jury was that of the State VS.. John
Dudly accused of stealing meat at the
Spokane restaurant.
When arraigned, Dudley pleaded not
guilty and jury was drawn to try the
case and the court appointed Harlan D.
Heist to defend the prisoner.
After all expense for the trial had
been made and no other cases had been
set for the day, Attorney Heist offered
to enter plea of guilty because he was
that man named Riley who
was the one that delivered the meat
after being sold, was on hand and
would testify.
But the court could find no statutory
grounds for change of plea at that
stage of the trial and ordered it to pro-
ceed.
When the State had closed its evidence
it was found that Riley could not be
found although most strenuous search |
mad been made for him.
The defendant testified in his own be-
nalf and turned the crime on Riley who
was absent.
Then came the plea of the attorneys.
Nr. Disney's plea was clear, concise and
and sustained his reputation
admirably. Mr. Heist's plea was sur
,rise and marked hJm as criminal law
Ter of ability.
Because of the missing link in the
hahn of evidence the jury returned a
-erdict of not guilty.
