Test Local Option Law.

Attorneys for the liquor interests
of the state have filed briet in
the supreme court in the case OF
Thomas Gillespy against the coun-
ty commissioners of this county,
in which they seek to test the To-
cal option law. This case was
decided by Judge Bryan adversely
10 G1llespy. The constitutionality
of the local option act is question
ed on the grounds that the law
violates interstate commerce laws;
that manufacturers are permitted
to deliver liquor in wet counties,
but wholesalers have no such pri-
vlege; that the law fails to povide
for registration of new voters;
that the Legislature has no power
to enact local special laws with
reference to the conduct of cleo
tions: that the search and seizure
clause is unconstitutional; that the
law is defective in failing tc point
the method by which license money
for unexpired licenses can be re-
funded. The case comes up next
week.

BOISE-pAYETTE PLANS
Diverting Dam to be Built at
Horseshoe Bend.


tion of the Boise-Payette irrigation
project has been completed. John
Christensen gives to the Payette
Independent the following descrip-
tion of the plans and purposes OF
the promoters of the system:
The north side of the Boise Pay
ette project, consisting OF some 9o'-
900 acres of dry lands between the
Payette Valley Faymers' Ditch and
Sebree Ditch in the Boise Valley,
and reached from line about south
of Emmett down to the Snake river
will soon be Incorporated as an lr-
rigation district.
Investigation at the U. 5. Land
Office at Boise developed that the
government intended to construct a
80 foot dam in the Payette river and
to raise the water another one
hundred feet by power, such water
to irrigate about 46, 900 acres at an
estimate cost of about S3,OOO,0OO or
$4,000 per acre. This plan was
abandoned by the ten committee
men on organization and Chief En-
gineer Ed E. Hedden of Caldwell,
who was employed by the Reclama-
ton Service for number of years,
has been in the field for number OF
months, and has now feasible
route established for ditch. The
estimated cost per acre IS
placed at about $63.5O. The
estimates include cost of right OF
way and reservoir at the Payette
Lakes, the latter to store about
10000 acre feet.
The ditch line, adopted by the
committeeman, starts from a low
dam site at point about two miles
above Horseshoe Bend. After run
ming some seven miles down the
north side of the Payette it crosses
the Idaho-Oregon Power Ditch and
the Payette river to the south side,
a distance of 400 feet. Some heavy
construction is encountered and at a
point about miles south of Emmett
a tunnel of 5000 feet in length will
have to be built. Two years will be
consumed in construction. The
work done so far is sufficient for
filing purposes. The district bound
aries will be arranged as fast as
possible and petitions will shortly be
circulated for signatures, to be sub
mitted to the county commissioners
for approval, to have this land set
aside as an irrigation district. 1t is
expected to have everything ready
for the voting on bonds in about two
months from now and construction
will probably begin next spring.
This proposed ditch will furnish
water for some of the most valuable
orchard land in the country, every
acre of which will be worth from
5000 up as soon as the water will be
put on the land.
1t is difficult to estimate what the
reclamation of this immense tract Of
land will mean to the Payett Valley
and especially to the towns located
therein: it means millions to this
country while the construction work
is done, it means twenty acre homes
for $500 families, each of which will |
have to have horses, wagons and
farming implements, will have to
buy flour, groceries, clothing, ETC.;
it means an enormous demand for
nursery stock and large demand
for help; it means great future for
the Payette Valley"

This attack rpon the local option
law looks to The Index like a
waste of powder. If successful.
1t means that the saloon is given a
little over a years longer lease of
life. In the IA counties where
local option elections were held,
the temperance element was
victorious by decisive majorities.
In this county, the majority was
so overwhelming a to leave no

MITCHELL RANGER ARRIVESAT
SAN FRANCISCO
BEARS MESSAGE FROM MAJOR
GENERAL WOOD
Party Escorted from Stockton After
Trip from New York by Forty
Machines-Built Bridges
on Journey
tBy Associated Press.l

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 19.-The
Mitchell ranger" bearing message
from Mai. Gen. Leonard Wood of the
department of the east to Maj. Gen.
John f. Weston, commanding the de-
partment of California, arrived here at
o'clock this afternoon, almost exact
ly a month to the minute since it's de-
parture from Governors Island, N. Y.
On the car were the driver, Frank
Zirbies; Private e. Parrott, Tenth
regiment New York national guard,
who bore the message, and Lieut.. B.
B. Rosenthal, who was in command of
the party.
Because Of the illness of Maj Gen.
Weston the message was delivered to
Col. f. H. Crowther, judge advocate
of the department.
The car was escorted from Stockton
to this city by forty automobiles con-
tanning members of the coast artillery
forces under command of Lieut.. w. l..
Homer.
During the journey of almost 1000
miles the party was compelled to re-
build several bridges and to recon-
struct roads washed out by floods.
The trip is said by military men to
demonstrate the usefulness of the au-
tomobile as an adjunct to the army.

COOK WILL BE FIRST OF
EXPLORERS TO ARRIVE IN
NEW YORK METROPOLIS

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-Dr. Cooks
arrival in New York will give him the
distinction of being the first of the
rival explorers to set foot on native
soil. New York awaits his coming
eagerly. The extent of his welcome de-
pends almost solely on himself. While
committees are ready TO do every honor,
everything aside from the jaunt down
the bay to meet him and a banquet at
the Waldof Astoria Thursday is in the
tentative state. Brooklyn wants him
to participate in a parade and other
festivities on the day of his arrival, but
he has accepted no formal invitations
except to the banquet under the aus
pices of the Arctic club of America.
AS to the attitude OF the club on DR..
Cooks achievement, DR.. Stibbins who
has taken a prominent part in arrange
ments for his reception, said tonight
that the club accepted DR.. Cok's state
ment absolutely and that If there were
to be further controversy it was incum-
bent upon the Peary advocates to dis
prove DR.. Cooks claam rather than for
him to produce more data.
