NO ELECTION IN
Blaine COUNTY

Judge Waters has denied the writ
of mandate to compel the board of
county commissioners of Blaine coun-
ty to call a local option election. He
holds that the remedy was by appeal
from the decision of the commission
ers.
When the local option petition was
filed in Blaine county last fall the
county commissioners declined to call
an election on the ground, among 9th
er things that tho petition had not
been filed sufficient length of time
before the meeting Of the board.
They hold that in counting the time,
Sundays, holidays and the day of fill
ing as we'll as tho day upon which
the commissioners met should be ex-
cluded. In this manner it was claim
ed the petition had been filed nine
days before the day of meeting, in
stead of ten days, as the law requires.
A writ of mandate was asked from
Judge Walters of that district, COM
pelling the board to call the election.
Judge Walters has held that the rem
edy was by appeal from the action of
the board and not by request for writ
Of mandate. The time in which an APP
peal can legally be taken has expired,
and new petition will have to be
prepared before an election can be
forced in that county. 1t is not be-
lieved that this can be done in time to
hold such election before tho date pro-
hibited by the local option law before
the general election, hence that nc
local option election will be held in
that county until next year.

Caldwell is growing so rapidly that
a person not used to the pace would
soon fall behind; but it is not growing
fast enough for some of our citizens.
Such surplus of energy is developed
in this city that we must find an out
let somewhere. Tho consequence is
that Caldwell people are branching
out in all directions.
Last Saturday Henry Olsen got on
the pony as unconcerned as if nothing
had happened and yet in his hip peck
ct he carried the necessary papers
and documents for tho Council State
Bank, new concern recently organ
lied by Caldwell men. The Council
State Bank will open up for business
about the 18th of February with Mr.
Henry Olsen as cashier. The bank is
capitalized at 100000, of which a
large amount is subscribed by Caldwell
men. Messrs. M. J. Devers, r. b.
Scatterday, E. R. Hendon, C. E. Cum
ningham and Henry Olsen are the
Caldwell men who are interested. A

1t is unnecessary for us to call
your attention to the advertisement
of The Golden Rule Store formerly
Thu Famous in thin issue of

THE ELECTRIC RAILROAD
TO Go down THE VALLEY

The news that the Boise & Inter
urban intended making extensions this
spring and summer was first publish
ed in The Tribune December IL. The
report was confirmed by Boise papers
couple of days later. The Capital
News Tuesday had also further con-
firmation of preparations for the ex-
tension of the line. Tuesdays issue
of the News contained the following:
H. E. Dalton, manager of the Boise
& Interurban Railway company, ar
rived home yesterday from an east
ern trip of four weeks, during which
time he conferred with leading stock
holders of the company at Pittsburg
relative to the company business and
it's growth during the past year. Mr..
Dalton gives out the information that
work on the new terminal depot, to
be erected at Seventh and BannOck
streets, will be started just as soon
as the weather permits and will be
rushed to completion. The extension
of the Idaho street line to point OPP
posite the Natatorium, running
through the most thickly settled dis
trict in the eastern part Of the city,
will be completed early in the spring,
while various other improvements in
the city are under consideration, and
will probably be taken up at later
date.
Mr.. Dalton states that extensive i'm
provements are to be made at Pierce
park and work there will begin early
probably in February or March. New
walks are to be laid, more ground lev
eled and the popular outdoor play
ground, picnic resort and amusement
center, will be made much more at
tractive this season. The bushes!
done at the park last summer, h,
states, justifes the improvements t.

be made this spring and every effort
will be made to make the park just
what the Boise people desire.
While in the east Mr.. Dalton made
a trip to st. Louis and ordered two
new cars, both patterned after the
largest cars used on the city lines,
suitable for the city or for the main
line run to Caldwell. The new cars
will arrive here during the early
spring months and will be installed for
the summer service.
PROPOSED EXTENSION.
In comforting with the stockholders
Mr.. Dalton took up the question Of
the extension of the Interurban line
to promising points and the report met
with favor of the stockholders. There
is strong probability of the line be-
ing extended either to Payette, En-
NETT or Kuna, during the summer.
Mr.. Dalton stated he was not at lib
erty at present to make the destination
of the proposed extension known.
Although away four weeks and
travelling through many sections of
the east, Mr.. Dalton states that he
did not strike zero weather, although
he encountered lots of snow. He
found on the whole the weather very
agreeable in the east and congratu-
lated himself on missing the only cold
spell Boise has experienced for years.
He reports that the freight traffic
west is very heavy on the Union Pa
cific line. He counted 25 freight
trains on sidings in a run Of only
few hours. He also states there is
plenty of coal at Kemmerer and other
points in Wyoming and he believes
the present coal shortage will soon be
at an end, as he passed considerable
amount on the road between the mines
and Boise.

ASSIGNMENTS VALIDATED.

The administration bill permitting
assignment of homestead entries of
government reclamation projects after
five years residence and cultivation,
does not, in specific terms validate as
signments heretofore made, but it is
said at the interior department that
the bill is drawn in such general
terms that it unquestionably will val
idate past assignments which other
wise comply with the terms of the
bill.

MEN START BANK AT CONNCIL

number of prominent and substantial
men of Council will also be connected
with tina bank.
The Caldwell.men who are connected
with the bank as stockholders are all
good reliable men. Mr.. Devers is a
farmer, retired capitalist and alder
man of the City of Caldwell, but this
should not be held against him. Mr..
Scatterday is practicing attorney in
Caldwell and one of our brightest and
most promising young men. Messrs.
Hendon and Cunningham are employees
of tho First National Bank of this
city. They are men who would beget
confidence anywhere. They know the
banking business OF they would not be
at the First National. Mr.. Olsen has
been in tho employ of the First Ma,
tional Bank for some time. Prior to
that he was bookkeeper for the Idaho
Trust Company. Ho had banking ex-
perienco previous to coming to Cald-
well. He is a substantial poung man
and will make the bank of Council a
success.

MAINTENANCE FEE
Will HAVE TO PAY

The words, Gree and perpetual use
of water" when used in a deed con-
veying title to a water right do not
exempt the purchaser from mainte.
nance charge, according to an opinion
handed down by the supreme court
yesterday in the case of the Nampa &
Meridian Irrigation district, appellant
VS.. G. w. Cess, respondent, in which
judgement entered by Judge Wood in
favor of the defendant, Cess, is re-
verseL.
The Nampa & Meridian Irrigation
district instituted suit against Cess
to recover the sum of $500, his pro-
rata share of the cost of maintenance
of the old Ridenbaugh canal in 1906.
The case was tried in the district
court without a jury and findings en-
tered for the defendant.
The supreme court in the opinion,
in which all justices concur, holds as
follows:
"Where a land owner conveys a
tract of land lying under his canal
and susceptible of irrigation there
from, and includes in the conveyance
a grant of the free and perpetual
use of water from the grantor's canal
sufficient to irrigate the land convey
ed; held, that the grant of such free
and perpetual water right does not
obligate the grantor or his successors
or assigns to perpetually bear and
pay the expense and cost of maintain
ing and protecting the canal and the
water right and delivering the water
to thu consumer.
"In such case, the contract conveys
free and unencumbered right ant
title in and to the waters of the cana
and carries with it an unqualified
right to the extent of the quantity Of
water conveyed in the appropriation
itself and the right to have the water
flow through the canal, and the grant
or perpetually abondons and foregoe'
the right to ever thereafter charge
collect or realize any profit or renta
fer the USE of TIE water conveyed"

WILSON WILL KEEP
HIS HANDS OFF

Secretary James Wilson of the de-
partment of agriculture has agreed to
withhold any opposition to Congress
man Thomas R. Hamer's bill now be-
fore tho house of representatives re-
storing to Idaho over 100000 acres of
school lands, of which the state has
been wrongfully deprived by reason of
their inclusion in forest reserves. He
gave his word to the Idaho member
yesterday that he would keep his
hands off.
The department of agriculture, of
which the forest reserve is an impor
tant, and of late rather sensational
part, has proven an insurmountable
barrier to the success of the various
states in their efforts to regain these
lands in the past.
During the special session of the
61st congress Hamer introduced house
bill No 1854, authorizing states and
territories to select lands in lieu of
lands included within forest reserves.
Although that session was confined to
a consideration of tho tariff, he pre-
scented his measure then in order that
it might secure a preference upon the
calendar of the present session. 1t was
referred to the committee on public
lands, of which he is now a member,
and serious attention has been direct
ed by that body to it within the last
two weeks.
The Idaho representative called up
on Secretary Wilson Monday to pre-
sent the case of the state and prevent,
if possible, an unfavorable recommea-
dation by that official. Such legisla-
ton has been vigorously opposed by
the department of agriculture in for
mer years, but after a conference last
ing over two hours, Hamer elected
tho desired agreement.
'If called upon for a recommends
ton in connection with your bill. |
will make none for or against it" he
definitely stated just before the Idaho
member left hia office.
Hamer at once reported the outcome
of his consultation to the committee
on public lands, and Chairman Mon
dell Immediately transmitted re-
quest to the secretary for a report
upon the measure in order that that
formality might be expediated.
The proposed enactment, if passed,
will give Idaho those school sections
which were granted to the state up
on admission into the Union. At that
time they were unsurveyed, and, al
though the state made application for
their survey, before this could be done
they were withdrawn and placed with

 GliIfoyle pursued lis investigation and found under the soil on the creek upland the remains of an old sag dump. As Is customary with the prospeotors in sonora. Guilfoyle at once had this slag assayed On account of the primitive meth ods Of smelting employed by the ancient work men the slag found these old dumps is usually rich enough 10 be worked over again in the mod. ern smelters. which leave nothing of value in the slag, but strange 70 note in this case the sag Was found to be absolutely worthless. indicating that al this mine the HHlRerizine of the ore had assisted in the extraction of the metal values The antique smeters also knew lot about the Use of certain chemicals in the extraction of metal from the ore and at this mine probably one of those processes vas used ia# connection with the furnace only fragments of the foundation of which were found by excavation
