The Richfield recorder. (Richfield, Idaho) 1909-1931, 1910-06-16

Two hundred and four settlers
from the. Idaho Irrigation Company
canals=71 on the North Gooding
tract, As on the South Gooding
tract, 33 at Dietrich and 54 at
Richfield.
All this is on land that up until
this year was part of the Snake
Desert" that used to be as real a
part of the Biographies as the Cape
of Good Hope or the Cannibal ISL
ands. And maybe there was some
truth in the name-then.
But with rivers of water flowing
down every coulee, and mighty
lake held in reserve for the coming
of the dry season, the Desert goes
the way of the hairy mammoth, the
great aux, the dodo the buffalo and
all the things that were and have
disappeared before the coming of
man.
There have been no breaks of any
consequence anywhere on the COM
pany project this year. So free has
the system been from tronble that
it may be said to be almost unique
among the irrigation projects OF the
state. The construction work has
been well done, and it all counts
for the good of the settler.
Incidentally, the present season
shows up some interesting facts on
the values of different kinds of wa
ter rights. During the past hard
winter, the snow was exceptionally
heavy on the lowlands, but rather
less than usual in the mountains.
AS a result, the streams have been
very low at the time they should
be receiving a large supply from the
melting of the mountain SHOWS that
furnish the summer water. SO low
indeed is the Little Wood River that
the water master is already shut
ting down in the order of priority,
to the rights back to 1884; by MID
summer the river will be so low as
to make all water rights filed IN
the last 80 years almost yaiueies.
The Idaho Irrigation Company is
now turning into the Little Wood
times as much water as the actual
flow of the stream to be used Tor
the Dietrich and South Good1ng Sc
gregations. 1t is enabled to DO
this by storing the flood waters OF
the Big Wood, and releasing them
as they are NEEDED in summer. me

spring would have filled their great
reservoir three times-three times
as much water as they need to IT.
rigate every acre of their holdings,
while some of the old open-rlver
water rights will prove to be OF
little value. The old way counts on
taking the water in the easiest way,

JAILED FOR CONTEMPT.
Rathdrumite Wishes He Had Ans
wered Census Man.

Very few citizens of Idaho have
refused to answer all the questions

this state, but in such cases war
rants have been sworn out and Wig
orous prosecution will follow.
Herbert Gilliland of Rathdrum is
one of the persons charged with
such violation of law and upon

By United Press Leased Special Wire.
ANNAPOLIS. Md. June 29-With
everything to indicate that the young
midshipmen had met their deaths in
manner behtting the best traditions OF
the American navy the bodies Of Mid
shipmen Sherman ~ Mason, Of New
port, r. l.. Grigsby r. Thomas. Of
Union Point, Ca, and Mrs. Joseph
Bowyer. daughter-in-law OF Cap
tain J. NJ. Bowyer, superintendent Of
the Naval Academy, we're found this
morning about half a mile from the
Academy.
The bodies were close together and
there can be no doubt that the mid
shipmen lost their lives trying to save
their companion, who could not swim
and who had gotten out of the shoal
water and into deep water that is on
the side Of the bar. The place Of the
finding was about forty feet from the
place where the craft in which they
went sailing had been at anchor.
Shortly after o'clock launch Sc
cured the body Of Mrs Bowyer. by
means Of graphing lines. and It was
brought to the surface. A few min
utes later the bodies OF Mason and
Thomas were found almost slmultane-
ously. They were about four feet
apart, and each about six feet from
the body Of Mrs. Bowyer.
The closenees OF all the bodies lndl-
Gated strongly that they had gone
down together. The circumstance,
bear out the theory that Mrs. Bowyer
had gotten into deep water and this

Is likely. however, that he did wha'
he could. and that Mason tried to hell
