STATEMENT ON CAREY LANDS

The statement made by those OBJ
posing my candidacy for the posi-
ton of State Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction, that l hold large
tracts of Carey land under the var
ious projects, are not true and are
evidently made for political pur-
poses. The only piece of Carey land
that l have taken since l assumed
the duties of this office or that I
have any interest in, directly or in
directly, is 100 acres four miles
from Gooding under the Idaho Irri-
cation Company. l filed on this last
fall and made the payment the same
as would any other citizen of the
State. 1 have also invested in a
small fruit acreage tract of decided
land and three town lots, ON all of
which l have made the annual pay
ment according to the contracts. No
other member of my family has
taken or invested in any state land
during my administration. Without
hesitancy can say that have given
all land board matters my careful
consideration and have voted on
all important questions conscien-
tiously and in accordance with my
best judgment.
l have devoted my time to the
schools of Idaho and have at all
times endeavored to raise the stand
ard of the educational system of the
State,-traveling over $4,000 miles
during the past eighteen months
visiting the various districts.-and I
believe can safely refer the voters
to the present educational condi-
tons in asking for denomination.

Al the corner of Cleveland ana

water hydrants are in the middle OF

saws that It was too much trouble to

too much trouble for the superin-

curt REFUSES
TO INTERF ERE

An application Tor writ OF man
aoto was made in the supreme court
ri4av by the New York Canal
company to enforce H. S. Williams,
water commissioner of the third dis
+rice of Idaho, to cause the water to
h. lurned on in the canal owned and
ouerated by the plaintiff company,
IN accordance with the decision OF
the Judge of the Seventh judicial
dist riot, rendered on July 16, in
which the rate of water users on the
Roise river was fixed at six-tenths
inch per acre.
Attorney J. J. Blake for the pet
TONER made short argument yes
terGay, but the application was de-
MED. the court, through Justice ALL
shic. stating as grounds for denying
the application that it was a serious
question whether, under the consti-
tuition and statutes, the supreme
or any other court would have the
right to interfere with and disturb
settled priorities, which constitute
property rights, unless it appeared
that the prior appropriation was not
applying the water to a beneficial
use and that the court did not feel
justified under the circumstances in
interfering with the order of Judge
ho &,
set for hearing on the 18th, so that
Il would seem but little harm could
result in the meanwhile; that if this
application should be granted the
court might be confronted tomorrow
with similar applications from many
other water users under other CO
nails, who claimed that they were in
2 like situation and needed water
for domestic purposes:
In the application II is held that |
the petitioner is entitled to a suGt- |
cient amount of water for irrigation. |
domestic and stock purposes over
and above the amount used by all |
o.her ditch and canal companies AM |
persons using the waters of til
Boise river for irrigation, domestc
and stock purposes; that tn
amount necessary for water users |
under the New York canal is IS Gu
bic feet per second; that there q
$50 families dependent upon it, ana |
who cannot secure water W any |
other means, and will BE- compelled |
to abandon their homes and not har-
vest their crops, and that stock will |
suffer and die O. have to be driven |
away at graz loss and ine0nyeu
fence.
It is alleged that the court of the |
Seventh judicial district, on july Is |
fixed the rate of water for water ue
ers on the Boise river at siX-teu h,
inch per acre, and the plaintiff |
further alleges that many of the
larger canals other than the New |
York are now receiving practically a |
full head, great portion Of which |
is not used or applied by water us
ers for beneficial purposes; that the |
defendant, H. S. Williams, as water |
commissioner, is the only person au-
thorized to open the head gates, and |
that although it is his duty, he re
fused to do SO, and the action is
brought to enforce the judgment of
the lower court
AS the matter is set for hearing in
district court at Caldwell on August
10, and little harm could be done in
the meantime, the court did not feel
justified in interfering. Statesman.
