Many Sheep In Idaho.

The actual census of Idaho
sheep shows that there are 3D.
440, 600 head within the border
of the state, as against 1,455, ,O4O
reported for the purpose of as
sessment to the state equaliza-
ton for 1910. Idaho ranks
fourth in the sheep industry,
Montana, Wyoming and New
Mexico being the only states
ranking higher. The number of
sheep in the state average about
10 head to each inhabitant and it
is therefore probable that Idaho
will be much interested in the
proposed revision of the tariff

DOING GOOD
ROAD WORK
Road BaiIders in Rocky Canyon
are Building Road to Stay---
VIII Bring More Trade Here
When Completed.

Chas. Rookie was in town the
first of the week from his home
stead on Salmon river and in
formed the writer that some ex-
ceptionally good work is being
done on the wagon road now
being built up Rocky Canyon
from the river. The road IS now
completed for a distance of two
miles and has been built several
hundred feet above the creek
bed, thus insuring its perma-
nence. Considerable rock work
has been done, the blasting hav-
ing been under Mr.. Rockies per-
sonal supervision. ]. R. Gibbins
has been actively identified with
the work and has been assisted
much of the time by George Bur-
gund, who also resides on the
river.
From the way the work on the
road is being done it will not
take much in future to keep it in
repair. 1t is the intention when
Grave creek is reached to swing
to the east side of the canyon
and keep above the creek bed,
thereby preventing damage tC
the road from spring freshets.
Most of the work done so fal
has been done by popular sub.
scription and when the road il
completed it will open a large
territory to this market and at
tract no small amount of trad,

Judge Jaques Goes Insane.

Probate Judge j. E. Jaques,
of Idaho county. was yesterday
committed to the state asylum at
Orofno for treatment by Probate
Judge T. O. Hanlon. Judge
Jaques arrived in the city Sum
day noon enroute to Hot Lake,
Oregon, but his condition became
such during the afternoon that
it was necessary to place him in
the custody of Sheriff Welker.
Judge Jaques was kept at the
court house Sunday night by at
tendants, and as his condition
was not improved yesterday
morning, it was deemed advisa-
BILE to commit him to the state
sanitarium, where the best facil-
tiles are provided for the treat
ment of his peculiar malady.
Judge Jaques has held the Of
fee Of probate judge of Idaho
county for the past two terms
and was recently defeated for q
third term by only fourteen
votes. Worry over his defeat
and general i'll health are at
tributed as causes of his mental
breakdown at this time, but his
friends have every hope that
rest and treatment will soon re-
store him to his former health. =

DAM
is UNSAFE
Senator Macbeth Reviews the
Situation at Boise and Says the
Big Dam is Sure to Go Out with
the Spring Freshets.


A Boise dispatch dated Dec. 26
says: With a gigantic earthen
dam under which the water is
already sitting, standing above
the town of Mackay in Custer
county, this state, ready to go
out with the spring floods and to
sweep before it the town and its
inhabitants, a grave danger
threatens that sect;;o:l.
This is the prediction of Sena-
tor Ravenal Macbeth, of Custer
county, who is in Boise to pre-
pare for the next session of the
legislature, when he will intro
duce a resolution demanding that
an investigation be made to fix
the blame for the condition of
the dam as well as safeguard the
people Of that section of Idaho.
The Mackay dam is one of the
largest of its kind that has ever
been erected in the west. The
plan has been to impound behind
this dam the waters in the Sal
mon river, diverting the surplus
from the reservoir so formed in
to canals leading to the rich val
ley below SO that it could be irri-
gated.
When the dam was about COM
pleted it was found that water
was leaking through the. bottom.
The settlers demanded that ac-
ton be taken to ascertain the
cause. Failure on the part of
the state land board to act forced
the settlers to raise $500. An
expert engineer was employed.
| He condemned the massive
structure as unsafe and as an
engineering feat a complete fail
ure. 1t was then that the set
tiers realized that not only would
it be impossible for them to Sc
cure water for irrigation porposes
; but their lives were in danger
should the dam go out as threat
ened.
1--WE have had, in Custer coun-
tv, the heaviest snowfall this
winter since 1888, " declared Sen.
ator Macbeth. ''This means
high floods in the spring, and a:
a result the Mackay dam will be
. wiped out and the town Of Mack
ay destroyed.
"The high water will take thai
} dam out in an instant. The flooC
will cost the lives of many set
/ tiers.
''The bonding company that
, raised the 81, 500, 600 to build th'
dam put about half that much il
J the structure and lost the balanc,
: in speculation in Colorado. Their
! is now $500, 900 in liens upon tn,
) structure.
''The state of Idaho can no
: afford to see its irrigation pro
/ jects or its settlers treated il
: this manner without placing tn
n punishment where it belongs a

RUSH WORK ON
HUNTINGTON LINE
Assembling of Material at Both
Huntington and Starbuck Pre-
sages Early Construction Of the
River Road.

According to reports of activity
at both Huntington and Star
buck, where material is being
assembled indicating that rail-
road construction is to begin
soon, the view is held that such
material is being assembled for
the Huntingdon Lewiston line of
the 0. R. & N. and that the
work may start from both ends
of the line soon after the first of
the year. 1t is reported that
heavy machinery for grading and
tracklaying has been assembled
at Starbuck recently and that
more such material is being de-
livered there daily. Railroad
men declare that there is no
statement from an authoritative
source indicating the district the
material will be used, but that
the general impression prevails
that the work will be done in the
Lewiston country.
Frank Winans, a well known
business man of Lewiston, re-
turned today from a trip to
southern Idaho, and in the vicin-
ity of Huntington. Mr.. Winans
reports that heavy steel is being
unloaded daily at Huntington
and that more than 100 acres is
covered with the material at that
point. He states that the gener-
al view is held in that section
that work is to shortly be resum.
ed on the Huntington-Lew
line and that the company in
/ tends pushing the work to com
pletion at once.
The first lap of the Huntington
cutoff has been built from Hunt
ington to Homestead, a distanc'
of 60 miles. The fact that th'
Hartman interests are complet
ing the details for the acquiring
of extensive right of way ant
terminal yards at Charleston i
another indication that the worl
is to be undertaken at an earl!

STOPPED SALE
OF STATE LANDS
Supreme Court issues Writ to
Prohibit State Land Board from
Selling State Lands in Latah
and Nez Perce Counties.

Al Boise dispatch dated Dec.
26 says: The Supreme court to-
day issued temporary writ OF
prohibition restraining Governor
Brady, Secretary of State Lans-
don, Attorney General Mel cDougal,
State Auditor Taylor and Miss S.
Belle Chamberlain, superintend-
ent Of public instruction, as mem
bers Of the state land board,
from proceeding further in the
matter of the proposed auction
sales of public school lands in
Latah and Nez Perce counties,
granting the petition of Attorney
Curtis F. Pike. plaintiff. Bids
have been called for the sale of
$4,000 acres.
The auction sales, set respect
lively for December %, at Mos
COW, for the Latah county lands,
and at Lewiston, December 20,
for the Nez Perce county lands,
are prohibited, the writ made re-
turnable January II, at which
time the hearing will be held be-
fore. the supreme court to deter
mine whether the prohibitive
order shall be made permanent.
The court is understood to
have chosen that date for the
Potlatch Lumber company mat
ter because the case of the State
of Idaho, appellant, against E.
M. Z Hoover, respondent, also
comes up for hearing at that
time and almost the same basic
principles are involved. 1t is
probable that the courts decision
in the one will govern in the
other.
Briefly stated tn e general
status in this class of cases is as
follows:
A person or corporation Sc
cures a lease from t h state
whereby the state gives the right
to enter upon and cut or remove
all timber on the land, and this
lease runs for 20 years, at the
expiration of which the right Of
the person or corporation ceases
absolutely and the timber revert:
to the state. The Potlatch Lum
Der company wants to buy the
land itself SO that it can allow
the timber to stand and won
:ve to cut or remove it wher
Z %2O years limit is up. Counse

6ge challenges the right ant
power of the state land board t.

that it comes under the head 0.
