purpose of investigating to ascertain
the truth or falsity of the charges,
There is a question as to how far
the chief executive can go in Off

state official. Some contend that can
only be done by the legislature. 1t

WALL STREET INFLUENCE.

In these days 1t is hard to know
who to trust and believe. For many
years Mr.. C. w. Cooper has posed as
the enemy of Wall Street, the octo-
puses, the Shylocks and Jews, and
yet evidence is at hand that this
same G. w. Cooper is in close COM
munion with the votaries of the
System" He receives communica-
tons from Wall Street and even
subscribes to IL not for the Wall
Street Journal. When these stories
first came to our ears, We thought
some enemy of this undaunted friend
of the working man was busy, but
we are now convinced that 1t is all
too true,

During his incumbency the business
OF the department has more than
doubled.
We have about $1,5OOO,U 900 in de-
ferred payments" Mr.. Church stated
last night, speaking of the volume of
business, drawing per cent inter
est; $l,5OO,OO0 in school bonds draw
ing per cent interest and more than
100000 invested in farm loans and
state warrants drawing from to 7
per cent interest. There are about
40 Carey act projects, several of the
more important of which are under
course of construction and others
pending. This work has increased
wonderfully on account of 50 many
applications for final proofs being
made by entrymen under these var
ious projects,
Advocates Special Appointment.
I'm my opinion a commission or
commissioner should be appointed
to take charge of the Carey act work
and that it should be made separ-
ate division of the state department.
The volume of business in my office
during the past year has fully con-
WINGED me of the necessity for such
a change in the management of at
fairs in connection with such pro-
jects.
Il was interested in seeing all of
our losses satisfied by making in
demnity selections within the boun-
daries of forest reserves, but were
we to follow the opinion of the su-
preme court recently rendered very
few more selections could be made.
We are interested in Congressman
Hamer's bill providing for the selec-
ton of lands within the boundaries
of the reserves as we have about
100000 acres yet to select, but of
which we will be deprived in case
the ruling in the Marble Creek case
obtains. All of our special grants
are filled and the only selections that
can be made are those in lieu of
lands reported chiefly valuable for
and others that make but
little difference to the state
Many parts of sections 16 and SO,
as we now hold them, are so isolat-
ed that it is impossible to secure
purchaser, and l therefore think it
of great Importance that the state
be allowed to select lands in a body
as indemnity for these isolated tracts
as provided in the Hamer BILL"

CLUB OF PAYETTE HAD
ITS PRELIMINARY HEARING SATURDAY

The preliminary hearing of H. D.
Ficke, bartender for the Concordia
club who was placed under arrest
some time ago on the charge of sell
ing intoxicating liquors unlawfully
was held last Saturday before JUS
tice Tim Driscoll, who took the case
under advisement until he should re-
ceive a transcript of the evidence.
Attorney Karl Paine of Boise rep
resented the defendant and County
Attorney F. A. Hagelin was the pros
ecuting officer. Four witnesses were
called for the prosecution, one be-
ing the sheriff and the other three
club members. S. Levers was the
first club member called to the wit
ness stand. He refused to testify
anything concerning the club. At
torney Paine stated that this was on
the ground that a witness was ex-
empt from testifying to anything
that might incriminate himself, as
he said that if one of the members
of the club was guilty all of them
were.

CURTIS PARK SURE NOW.

A meeting of those interested in
the proposed park on the B. & ].
railroad near the bridge, met at
the Commercial Club rooms Wednes-
day. 1t was decided that such a
park as that proposed by Messrs.
Park, Tompkins & Co., was great
and good thing for Caldwell, and that
the money be raised at once to pur-
chase the land. AS Mr.. Ed. Curtis
was an old and respected resident of
this section and the land to be used
is part of his homestead it was
decided to name the park Curtis
park. A committee consisting of c.
S. Doan, d. d. Campbell and E. H.
Plowhead was appointed to raise the
money and buy the land.

JUDGE Church RESIGNS
AS REGISTER LAND BOARD

Nj Church, register OF the state
,ond board Saturday rendered his res
ignation to Governor James H. Brady
announcing his intention to engage
n the practice of law, making a spec
ialty of Carey act matters and irriga-
.tion Mr.. Church stated: During
tho last six months | have been re-
ouested to act as attorney for several
nroiects, but refused on account of
NV official position. l have studied
the Carey act procedure for four
wears with a view to specializing in
This work and think that now is the
time to commence actual practice. l
have a contract with Salt Lake cor
marathon to act as it's attorney, which
goes into effect May /, 1910. This
alone justities me from a financial
standpoint in resigning."
Register Church was appointed
four years ago under the administra-
ton of Governor F. r. Gooding and
has since his appointment re-organ-
lied the land department so that it is
upon working business basis equal
to that of any bank in the state.
Four years ago there was no index
to many records or any system by
means of which clerks in that Office
might readily ascertain the status of
any tract of land in Idaho belonging
to the state.
The resignation of Mr.. Church is
believed to be of peculiar political
significance in view of the fact that
he has been spoken of prominently
as candidate for the position of sec
rotary of state, although no authentic
announcement has been published.
Disclaiming that his action in STEP
ping out of official life was with a view
to entering the political arena, Mr..
Church stated: My only purpose
in resigning at this time is to enter
law practice, although l have been So
liCited by friends to enter the race
for secretary of state. l have not,
however, given them much encourage
ment."
Was Principal of Schools.
Mr.. Church came to Idaho to &C
cept position as principal of the
Nampa schools, l. years ago, and has
with the exception of the period of
his official life in Boise, been a resi-
dent of that county. In 1902 ne was
elected to the position of probate
Judge and reelected two years later,
but resigned to accept the register
ship of the state land board June 10,
1905, before his term had expired.

ambassador from God from the
teacher, for the ambassador from God
by conscientious contact with the
Father of Love and Truth and Wis
dom partakes insensibly of the ma
ture of Him he loves, venerates and
whose will he seeks to know in or
der to do it. No one questions for
a moment. that Christ was called of
God, and that he had a message to
impart; and what we find to be true
of Christ we find to be equally true
of all great moral and religious teach
ers. We do not have to be told that
they talk and walk with the Father
for we see them insensibly growing
into oneness with the being whom
they love and venerate and with
whose influence they seek to sur
round themselves. We have no de-
sire to distinguish the other class.
We respect the honest convictions
of any man; we hate the hypocrite
and tho time-server We feel that
this Is an instructive feeling. We
love the man who Is just fair anr
honest even though he believes what
we hold TO be erroneous views. And.
the Father has no need to call to his
aid those who misrepresent his
truth, neither has he need to send
forth representatives who woefully
fall short of the truth and dignity
they are called upon to represent.
When the representatives of this gov
eminent are at the courts of other
governments we expect them to rep
resent the best of America-to SO
conduct themselves that Americana
can feel proud of them and the coun-
try they represent. When we receive
representatives from the Kingdom
of Heaven we expect them to partake
somewhat of the country from which
they pretend to come.

Raising the Dough.

The special committee appointed
at a special meeting of the CONNER
cial Club to raise the publiciay and
general utility fund for the coming
year, has been at work in earnest
this week. The committee says the
fund this year will total 100000.
Up-to-date upwards of 100000 has
been raised. The people of the COM
munity feel hopeful and want to do
something toward the growth OF
Caldwell. Experience has taught them
the wisdom of the present plan of
raising funds for public enterprises.
AS soon as the committee finishes its
work a meeting of the subscribers
will be called to elect a committee to
handle the fund.

BOOSTERS BUY AUTOMOBILES.

During the past week Messrs H.
w. Dorman and b. H. Holt, have pur-
chased beautiful automobiles. Mr..
Dorman's Is a White steamer and Mr..
Hollis a Buick. Both machines were
purchased through Boise agents, a
fact that has excited some adverse
comment as the two gentlemen are
the livliest boosters in Caldwell. Au-
tomobile agents in Caldwell think
the boosters are setting a bad prec-
edent, and so do we. Probably
Messrs. Dorman and Holt did not
know that any Caldwell man had
automobiles for sale. 1t might be a
good thing for the Caldwell sales
agent to do a little judicious adver-
Using, We think that we can truth
fully say that neither of the gentle
men have any prejudice against
Caldwell men.

SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.

The school board met Monday eve
ming for the purpose of considering
the bids for the new high school, and
to select several new teachers for the
coming year. AS the bids were all
far above the architects estimate
the matter was deferred until the
architect could be conferred with.
The following teachers were sell
ected: George H. Merritt, of Jack
sonville, Ore, as principal of the high
school, and N. H. Nash, of Meridian,
as principal of the Lincoln school.

A SWEET CHERRY BOULEVARD.

j. R. Fields and Henry Cooke
have set an example in identifying
country roads that is worthy of emu
lation. The roads between their fruit
farms for a distance of quarter of
a mile has been lined with row of
sweet cherry trees, and 1t has been
named Cherry Boulevard.
The plan which Mr.. Field and Mr.,
Cooke have adopted is a most worthy
one and one which II generally fol-
lowed will make the Emmett coun-
try one of the beauty spots of the
earth. Owners of land along the
roads on the bench aud slope aud in
the valley should take the PROPOSE
ton up and agree upon some such
plan for identifying the highways
as has been adopted by the gentle
men named above.-Emmett Index.

series at Lingenfelter on the Boise &
Interurban have been established.
The company bought eighty acres of
land there and have started to build
up one of the biggest establishments
of this kind in the west. They are
selling trees now, but most of them
were grown at Roswell. A large force
of men are constantly employed at
Lingenfelter planting, grating and
preparing the ground. From fifteen
to twenty men will be employed
throughout the season at the nurser-
les.
Some days ago a representative of
the Tribune went over the nurery with
Mr.. c. T. Hawkes.. The land is ideal
for the purpose and Mr.. Hawkes. and
associates are confident that in a few
years they will have one of the great
est nursery propositions in the coun-
try. The Hawkes. nurseries enjoyed
an enviable reputation in western
Idaho and eastern Oregon Mr..

years it will keep them busy to fill
the orders that will come to them
They are now planning 10000 apple
trees that have been ordered by the
Council-Mesa orchards. Many other
large orders have been booked. The
men who are associated together are
capable and experienced nurserymen.
They know the business from A to
z. This fact being generally known
helps them wonderfully in building
up the business.
This is a business originated and
operated by local men and should re
ceive the hearty support and encour-
agement of the people of Caldwell

LAND OFFICE MAKES AN
IMPORTANT DESERT RULING

Water rights sold by thte Great
Western Beet Sugar Company are in
sufficient upon which to offer proof
upon desert claims unless it can be
shown that the company actually had
right to waters decided, according
to decision handed down by the
register and receiver of the Boise
Land Office Friday, and which it is
estimated will invalidate many
claims in the vicinity of Mountain
Home. The decision is far-reaching
in effect and, will if sustained upon
appeal, result in the cancellation of
large number of entries in connec-
ton with which claimants paid actual
cash for water rights for the reason
that such payments cannot be con
sidered as monies actually expended
for the improvement of the land.
1T is we'll established principle, ;"
the decision states, that persons
making purchase of this kind are
charged with knowledge of conditions
affecting the validity of that which
they thus seek to secure. If this
water right is not such valid right
as is required by law in desert land
cases, then this expenditure was not
valid, even though the contestee may
have made the payment in entire good
faith
I'VE are satisfied, however, that
the case, itself, when considered as
whole presents a situation which
justifies the conclusion we have
reached.
Never Had Any Water.
1T will be observed that the alb
stract of title does not show that the
Great Western Beet Sugar company
had any water whatever to deed. 1t
issued a deed to Altschul, and Alt
schul issued a deed to Dearinger.
The supposition, of course, is the
company at some time had some
water, but it appears from the testi-
mony in this case it never had
enough water to irrigate the lands of
those who were relying upon it for
crops they had planted. 1t does
not, therefore, seem possible that it
could have had sufficient water at the
time it issued this deed, to supply
land that was not only outside the
comparatively small cultivated sec
ton, but was far beyond the reach
of any construction canal system. 1t
will be observed that the company is
sued warranty deed to Altschul-
$500 for a forty-acre right-and
that Altschul made quit claim deed
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1910-04-29

| to this cOntestee for half the right,
charging her $500 in cash.
1t will further be observed that
Altschul declined to state whether
or not he paid the Great Western
Beet Sugar Company in cash. He
did not make statement of any
kind to show in what form, if at all
he made that payment. He further
testified he was stenographer for MI.
HOWE at one time, and it is evident
he must have been familiar with the
methods of this company, whatever
they may have been. 1t is, therefore,
somewhat significant that he should
have quit-claimed to this contestee
portion of that alleged right, which
he secured under warranty from this
company.
Must Show Actual Payment.
Under the regulations in effect,
desert entrymen, if they rely upon
the purchase of water right as in the
making of annual proof, must show
conclusively by their own affidavit
and by the voucher of the company
selling the right, that they made cash
payment of the amount claimed as
expenditure. They must also pro-
duce sworn showing from the COM
pany of the amount of water con-
trolled by it, and of the amount it
has disposed of. In other words, it
is not proposed that paper rights
shall be used in making proof unless
those rights have absolutely valid
foundation.
In this case, there is nothing to
shows the company did not at that
to sell at the time it sold to Alt
schul. Altschul refuses to state the
character of the consideration given
by him for the deed. The evidence
shows he company did nat at that
time have enough water to supply
the actual farmers whom it had un-
dertaken to furnish, and that it had
never had sufficient water for the
irrigation of their crops. We are
thus obliged to accept the conclusion
that this so-called water right was
not valid; that it did not have such
a foundation as is contemplated by
law.
No Construction Contract.
When an entryman makes pay
ment on a water right, whether that
right be purshased direct from the
company proposing to furnish the
water, or from someone to whom it
has already made transfer, the sup
