ENTRYWOMAN CAN
NOT MARRY SOON

Warning is given entrymen or en-
trywomen who file on homestead land
in the state of Idaho, by the officials
of the local land office in its decision
in the case of Frank Hoffman VS..
Anna Hoerler nee Anna Holocoft, that
no right goes with an application for
entry on land when presented to a
United States commissioner until it is
duly recorded in the land office, and a
single woman should have a care when
launching into the bliss of matrimony
in the meantime.
This case is an interesting one. The
land involved is described as lots and
2, south half of the northeast quarter
section 8, township 2 north, range
east. The entry was made January
10, 1909. Affidavit of contest was hled
on October 20, 1909, alleging that the
entrywoman was not living and resid-
ing upon the tract and was not cul-
tivating and improving the land; fur
ther, that after executing her home
stead application before the United
States commissioner and before it was
filed in the United States land office at
Boise, this entrywoman married and
was a married woman at the time of
the filing of the application in the
land Office.
The register and receiver say in
part:
Hearing in the case was set for
February 8, but on February the
parties filed stipulation of facts. 1t
appears from this stipulation that the
entrywoman had made settlement on
the land prior to the date of her APP
plication. The date of this set
Element is not given, but it must have
antedated the filing by several days.
ut is further shown by the stipu-
lation that the absence of the entry
woman from the land was of an eX-
cusable character, and the case, there
fore, comes up for decision solely upon
the question of the validity of the en-
try at the time it was made.
at is a we'll established rule that a
homestead application dates from the
time it is filed in the land Office. No

Immediately.
1t has been known for long time
that American Falls is considered one
of the greatest power sites in the west
owing to the steep decline of the river
at this point. The available power has
never been completely controlled, but
it is the plan of the promoters not on
ly to control it but to make the power
of great commercial value.
The backing of the water up the
river will extend the reservoir from
American Falls to Blackfeot on-the
Snake and almost to Pocatello on the
Portneuf. The land to be irrigated
lies in Southern Idaho, reaching from
Bull in Twin Falls county west to
Bruneau. At present it is a great
range for cattle and sheepmen. Off
cial surveys of the tract Nave been
made under the Surveyor Generals
Department and the plats are now in
Washington awaiting approval. AS
soon as they are passed upon active
work will start on the largest irriga-
ton project ever promoted by indie
pendent capital in Idaho.

a vital question to all property own
ers in the city of Caldwell. To secure
insurance rates the city must have an
adequate head of water to fight fire
with. With the present system this
is welll-nigh impossible. Many of
the outlaying districts are with fire
protection of any kind and should a
fire start in these, the result would
be disastrous. The insurance COM
panies are conversant with these facts
and in making their rates are gov
erned to a great extent by them. Not
only are the unprotected districts
forced to pay an exhorbitant rate
but the balance of the city as well.
The extension of the system would
eliminate this evil.
Contrary to general belief the
proposed bonds will not be an addi-
eional burden to the taxpayer. The
water works today is money maker
and will eventually pay for itself
from the sale of water, and in the
course of few years will be paying
handsome dividend on the original
investment.
If you have the interest of the city
at heart attend the meeting Friday
evening. The subject will be cussed
and discussed and there will be no
reason for any voter to say that he
didn't thoroughly understand all Of
the points involved. Come prepared
to express your views. Different citi-
zens will be called on for short talks
and you may be one of them.

MASS MEETING TONIGHT
TO DISCUSS THE BOND ISSUE

Mayor Gowen has issued call for
a mass meeting to be held at the
City Hall Friday evening at 8 o'clock,
for the purpose OF discussing the pro-
posed bond issue for the extension of
the city water system. The citizens of
Caldwell are urged to attend as the
matter under consideration should be
of interest to every voter who has
the welfare of the city at heart.
The city officials expect to attend
the meeting in body. City Clerk
Shorb will explain in detail how the
money derived from the sale of the
proposed bonds will be expended,
which includes various things, such
as replacing the wooden mains now
used in the business section before
the paving has been laid, thus elm
mating the necessity of tearing up
the pavement few years hence when
the mains now in use will have to be
replaced.
The erection of stand-pipe, ar
ranged as a part of the main to give
the necessary head to supply the dis
tant points equally. Several extern
sions to the present system are con
templated and will be constructed if
the bond issue carries. Mr.. Short
will explain these in detail He will
also give short talk on the present
system, how it has been self-support.
ing and has made profit.
City Engineer Williams will gladly
answer all questions pertaining to the
proposed Improvements.

ARENA VALLEY is
SURE ON The MAP

Arena Valley, where is it? Such
was the startling question asked by
your Roswell correspondent, (who, by
the way seems to have taken on a new
lease of life lately,) in tho last issue
of our fine paper, the Caldwell Trib-
une. We must confess it nearly took
our breath away for about a minute.
For tho benefit of our Roswell cor
respondent and for others who may
be interested will tell where Arena
Valley is. This is the place that the
Roswell people and others contempt
ously refer to as Sand Basin. Don't
do it any more, please.) This valley
was named by the surveyors of the
U. S. Reclamation Service, Arena Val
ley, and we like the name. This val
ley is shaped like an arena and here
is where we will fight life's battles.
This is the place that lies about
miles south of the Roswell postoffice
and stretches down to the Snake river.
This is theplace where the Roswell
farmers come in tho summer time
to get men to help them put up their
hay and where they come in the win
ter time and help themselves to sage
brush when they can't get any coal
This isthe place where your little Ros-
well can sit comfortably inside of
and we will still have 1000 acres to
spare. This is the place whose peo-
pie turn their money over to your
merchants for groceries, etc, and to
your farmers for hay, grain, live

right is acquired by an applicant who
makes an application before a United
States commissioner shall have been
transmitted to and made of record in
the land office. 1t, therefore follows
that an entryman must be qualified to
make entry at the time of the filing of
the application in the land office.
"In this case, the entrywoman, after
having executed the application before
the United States commissioner and
before the same had been transmitted
to and received at the land office,
changed her status to that of mar
ried woman. A married woman, un-
less she be the head of family, can,
not make a homestead entry This
entrywoman was married ut the time
this application was filed, and we can,
not avoid the conclusion, notwithstand-
ing the fact that she had made a set
Element on the land at some previous
time, that the entry was and is invalid.
"The question of good faith is pre-
scented by the stipulation upon which
the decision is based We do not think
it can be taken into consideration, for
the reason that an entry to be permit
ted to stand, must be free from any
fatal defect.
For these reasons we hold the en-
try should be cancelled"
