Caldwell should HELP
ON BLACK CANYON PROJECT

Tho people OF Caldwell should dc
everything in their power to encourage
and help the promoters oil the Black
Canyon Irrigation project. Ii this
project goes through, Caldwell will be
the Creates beneficiary as moro land
is contiguous and adjacent to Caldwell
thar any other town. A number of
devoted and enterprising men have
taken hold of this proposition. With
a little help and encouragement they
will put it through. We notice with
no little satisfaction that the people of
Emmett, Parma and Middleton are
helping both with their goodwill and
with money Caldwell will undoubted-
ly do her share financially but she
should dc something to show her good
will Caldwell should becom, inter
ested. She should become enthusiastic.
The men behind the project need and
deserve moral support and encourage
ment. There was a meeting held in
Caldwell last week, and Messrs. J. w.
Watkins. H B Aven and J. Walter
Johnson were about the only town
men who turned out. Tho people of
this city undoubtedly forgot. They
should remember. The success of this
project means a great deal TO CaId-

order by Mr.. Walter R. Cupp who
stated that tho object of the meeting
was to arouse tho interest and secure
the goodwill and financial support of
tho business men OF Caldwell. En-
gineer E. E. Hedden then explained
the proposed plan as follows
plans OF THU ENGINEER.
The plan is to take the ditch from
the Payetto river two miles above
Horseshoe Bend by low diversion
dam. This is to bo gravity system
throughout. The ditch followa down
the Payette river for about three miles,
then crosses the river to tn south
by means OF t1ume and then follows
down the south side OF tho river to
Black Canyon dam site. Al thi place
tho height attained is Is fee. above
the old government survey. From
here the survey follows the north hill
slope to the tunnel site which is jus
east of where the Idaho Northerl
crosses the divide. At this place
tunnel is to be constructed 5000 lee
in length.
From the south side of the tunnel
ono diversion system running south
east will cover practically tho same
ground that is at present covered
by the Farmers Union ditch. An
other diversion canal is about IS feet
highel than the government survey,
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1910-02-04

and will include abous $4,000 acres
mor1 than that covered by tn propos-
Cd plan oil the government. However,
owing to tn possible roughness of the
ground it is very probable that num-
be- OF drops will have t. be made
In order to eliminate some difficult en-
gineerine problems.
THE DIVERSION SYSTEM.
III diversion system will include
a large body oil land north OF Parma
and also along the Snake river slope
cas- OF Nyssa and Ontario. There is
also another diversion system leaving
point at the grave yard gulch pass
to cover the territory north of the
divide extending to New Plymouth,
Fruitland and Falk's Store.
Under this plan OF going up the
river above Horseshoe Bend, which
eliminates the expensive dam in the
Payetto river, the settlers are saved
at least 100000, and at the same time
th1 system covers an area of 10000
under this plan as against
$4,000 acres under the government
plan. The people of tho north side
arc especially pleased with the work
OF Chief Engineer Hedden, who has
worked earnestly and patiently and
has successfully devolved this plan,
covering twice the amount of land
and saving to the settlers some $780,
600.
!. THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.
AT tbs present time about $4,000 is
required to complete tho preliminary
worl, of the organization. OF this.
however, $1576 in cash and notes has
been raised at tho several meetings
recently held in various places within
tn district. Just what portion of the
$500 is represented in notes is al
present not known. Many OF these
land owners arc just as willing al
others to assist in every way they
can, yet it is impossible for them to
raise the cash for immediate use and
il will bo necessary, in order t. ge
sufficient money to continue the work
t. eliminate from tho $157G the
amount of all notes that cannot at
once be realized upon.
Addresses short but to the point
were made by several land owners
ard also by Messrs. Aven and Wat
kins. Mr.. Aven assured the meeting
OF the hearty and substantial support
Of the business men of Caldwell Mr.
Watkins urged the settlers to stand
behind their committees and they
would accomplish something. He
thoroughly understands the situation
and his remarks were sympathetic
and encouraging.

Topeka Cripples Appear Unable

For Eleven Innings Battled
With Champs Thursday.

Support of Harris and Jackson
Ragged.

Des Moines, June 24.-En Gates won
everlasting fame with DeS MoineS fan
dom yesterday when he stole home for
the winning run of an eleven inning
game which proved to be the hardest
fought battle shown on the local ball
lot this year.
The run gave Des Moines the victory
by a score of to 5.
Two men were down in the eleventh
frame when Gates pulled off his stellar
stunt. The chunky lad had been walk
ed and had stolen second and gone TO
the third cushion on Colligan's sacrl-
fee. Stage, the first man up had flied
out. Matticks was at bat and had q
ball and strike Gates took big lead
and when Jackson drew back to hre
across the pill, he went down with the
pitchers arm. Butch Kerns was SO
taken back by the performance that he
never touched the ball and 1t went
clear back to the stands.
1t was a great battle with the game
seesawing back and forth between the
two teams. Cooley's cripp1es, encour-
aged by the return Of Riley, fought
valiantly and up to the very last had
the Champs guessing all the time d.,

spite this unusual showing he was
touched for 10 safettes.
Des Moines scored two'in the opening
inning when Harris walked one. follow
ed by a triple, single and double. An
other one was marked up for them IN
The third when Bowles allowed COLI
gan to get to second safely and Dwyer
scored him with g hit.
The Sox were BANKED in rapid order
until the fifth when Boles and Thoma-
son connected safely after Fetzer and
dropped Schmidt's long fly. This
brought in Schmidt and Boles and
Thomson crossed the ian when the
sun got in Fetzer's eyes and he missed
KahPs fly.
The sixth brought Topeka into the
lead temporarily. After both Reilly
and Kerns had famed Harris hit for
three bases and Schmidt brought him in
with a single. However. in their half

error aided in placing them in the lead

From this time on it was a series Of
goose eggs for the two teams until the
eleventh. jackson succeeded Harris in
the seventh and held the Champs with
out a hit until the tenth when they got
two safeties which placed Bader on
third. But Charley was equal to the
emergency and struck out Hawkins for
