SUPREME COURT SUS-
TAINS JUDGE WALTERS
ReCeNerShip Case Of Great Western Beet
Sugar Company Carried to
Supreme Court

The appeal Of the Water Users to
the Supreme Court of the state in
the receivership case Of the Great
Western Beet Sugar Company was
taken up the first of the week and
a decision handed down, fully sus-
tanning Judge Walters in his de-
cision and the appointment Of re-
ceiver to take charge OF the defunct
company
Little or on interest has been
taken in the case. aside from the few
involved in the legal phase-the
public generally feeling that Judge
Walters made a just and proper dis
position in the October term of the
case.
The matter has been before him
since he came to this district. and he
has a thorough and positive know
ledge of all the circumstances at
tending the company and the case.
The past summer he has been con-
nected with the affairs of the sys-
TEN through his receiver, and when
the case came up for final disposi-
tion. he made the only logical dis
position that could be made Of the
difficulty
The last action from the Supreme
Court, although not surprise, will
be welcomed by the people Of this
vicinity, as indicating an end to all
litigation and a speedy termination
of the old company's business.

The members of the Twentieth
Century Club who braved the rain
and mud last Friday night in order
to be present at the Howie home
were well repaid for their trouble
and bravery by the very excellent
time enjoyed
Last year when the club held it's
meeting with Mr.. and Mrs. Howie
the elements were equally unkind
and treated the guests to a similar
unpleasant evening But despite
the weather, the home was bright
and cheerful and the gaities of the
evening soon absorbed all thoughts
OF the unpleasant weather. and 1t
was not until late hour that the
crowd bid these genial entertainers
goodnight
One of the pleasing features Of
the evening was the rendering Of
several selections on the piano
player by Mr.. Howie. This instru-
ment reproduoes perfectly master
pieces from the greatest artists and
with a little care and thought inter
probation can be given that make the
enjoyment as keen as though the
artist were present in person.

TWO FALLS IN ONE HOUR.
Rocker Signs Agreement With
Nelson For Match For
December 4th.

AS result of the wrestling
match whicL was pulled off Satur-
day night, when Leo Rocker threw
three men inside of one hour wrest-
ling time, a match has been signed
up for December 4th. Nelson, the
man who stayed with Rockler %
minutes, is going to stay one hour
without two falls. Rockler has
agreed to put him down for two
falls within that time.
Rocker is showing some speed in
the wrestling game and has given
very good account of himself in the
matches in which he has appeared
the past month. Nelosn is a man
of experience and will no doubt give
Rocker considerable trouble before
the end of the hour.

MUCH PLEASED WITH STORAGE
WAREHOUSES;.
Ex-Governor Gooding Says the Wool
Storage Plan Has Been Saus-
factory to Sheep Men.

Ex-Governor Gooding, who re-
Gently returned from Chicago. where
he spent some time looking into the
wool warehouse plan as storage
proposition. He is so enthusiastic
over the prospects of the excellent
showing that the wool growers Of
the west are making, that he pre-
diets the time is not far distant when
the wool men will have warehouses
installed in all parts of the country
He believes that the sheep men have
won their victory over the commits
sion representatives of the eastern
jobber, and that the growers will no
longer have to sell their products
at the prices fixed by the former
In speaking of the Chicago ware
houses, the Boise Capital News
quotes Mr.. Gooding as follows:
"The big warehouse erected in
Chicago on Clark street by the ware
house association with the idea OF
using it for storing all Of the wool
clipped in the west, is rapidly being
filled with the produce and will soon
contain thousands Of dollars worth
of wool which. when sold. will bring
top notch prices. The Chicago pro-
moters Interested in the warehouse
together with officers Of the Ma
tional Wool Growers association and
various state associations are also
enthusiastic over thesuccess with
which their plan for a storehouse
base has met.
Local sheepmen are virtually in
terested in the success of the Chi
cago warehouse. for a majority Of
them have consigned their wool to
it and are taking a stand in the
storage plan which means thousands
Of dollars to them. They are con-
fdent they will receive better prices
for their clip than at any previous
time and that there will be a de-
cided advance in prices. making this
possible. There is now considerable
agitation among local wool growers
toward the erection of another large
warehouse at Omaha for the purpose
of taking care Of the surplus clip
the Chicago house cannot han
die"

No Match With Murphy.

Leo Rocker was in Boise the first

for a wrestling match with A. p.

three weeks ago. On his return to
Boise, Murphy made several and var

Immediately wired a challenge to
Murphy to make a match and give
him a nopportunity to make good his
assertion.
Mr. Rocker met Murphy and his
managers at Boise and attempted to
get a match, but the conditions were
so entirely unreasonable that Rock
Ter refused to sign any agreement
whatever. One Of the conditions for
the match was that SO per cent. of
the gate receipts go to Murphy, win
or lose. This would take from the
game the only incentive for winning
and allow taking that has been
so detrimental to the sport. Ma
turally, Rocker refused the terms
and returned to the city without a
match with Murphy.

advocating a north and south rail-
road they would come nearer mer-
iting the respect and confidence Of
their fellows.
Governor Brady is a strong be-
lever and booster Of the open river
from Lewiston to the sea, and it is
reasonable to believe that he also
has in mind this link of railroad
which would revolutionize trans
portation rates to the Pacific ocean
in the event that congress appropriat-
ed sufficient money to open the
Columbia river.
The governor in the past has
borne the reputation of getting
what he goes after, and has fin
anced many large projects which
had for their basis and founda-
ton natural resources which many
had overlooked. He is giving the
state a capable and fearless admin
istration of its affairs, but aside from
that. if he can interest capital in
this worthy enterprise of a north
and south railroad he viii have
earned the everlasting gratitude of
the people of Idaho. Instead OF
hunting up candidates for the nomi-
nation of governor who cannot ask
the suffrage of the people for year,
they should support the governor in
his very laudable ambition of getting
acquainted with the resources OF
northern Idaho and trying to reach
them with railroad. WeiseI

agricultural matters and has given
special attention to live stock His
addition to the journalistic field Of
the state is a very desirable one.

CHATT|N-HEIN MINE
GOOD PROPERTY.
Utah Mining Man Deeply Impressed With
Pine PrOperB--New Mill Installed
of the Most Complete

"The property at Pine, owned by
the Chattin-Hein people, is one of
The best 1 have seen in sometime. A
mill has been recently installed and
the property looks better than it
ever did" was the statement made
by Morris p Kirk, the well-known
Utah mine operator, and who just
returned form trip to the gold
mine. Mr. Kirk has been associated
with the Allis-Chalmers people, with
which concern he is employed to
look after the installation of mill
and mining machinery.
Il have just been over to the
Pine country and inspected the mill
machinery which has just been in
stalled in the Chattin-Hein mill
was greatly surprised to see the
character of machinery which these
people have put in, and, what was
a greater source of wonderment to
me, was the excellent quality of ore
While the owners say very little,
J am sure, from past experience in
judging ore, that the rock being
treated in the mill runs at the very
least $50 to the ton. It is some of
the prettiest ore that | have ever
seen. The owners feel that the COM
ing year will be one of continued
successes for them and they are
prepared to carry on extensive op-
erations.
In regard to the mill, it is com
pIete in every detail. The best of
machiery has been installed and
there is no contrivance in the mill
ling world which would facilitate
the proper working of this valuable
asset that has been overlooked.
The amalgamating and syanide pro-
cesses are being used. Although
small mill, it cost over $4,000 to
build, but I don't believe there is
a property in the west which is so
we'll equipped for mill purposes as
this one.
Il have just come up from Salt
Lake Down there Idaho has the
reputation of coming to the front
rapidly in the mining world. For
some time all that could be heard
was land. until the mines were al
most lost sight of. / find now,
however, that there is a big differ
ence, and the eastern people are
looking to Idaho for mining invest
ments just as longingly as they have
looked 10 Nevada, Utah and Colo
rado in the past.
You certainly have the country
here, and while ! have been all over
the country in the mining business,
j find that there are just as many
and as good chances here as any
place I feel that some day, and that
not very far distant, this state will
take the lead in the great industry
which has in fact made the west.
4 am spending much of my time
in this state on mining matters, and
after each and every trip am more
than ever satisfied that it will not
be very long before the people of
the state Will begin to realize what
1T means to have wonderful produc-
ing properties.
The Bruneau proposition looks
TO me as being the biggest thing
yet umearthed in the intermountain
country. If all the reports about it
are true, it surely must be wonder.
In Salt Lake there is a great deal of
interest being taken and it does look
like a bonanza. Statesman.
