West End Twin Falls Company Seeks

Complete Works.

At a recent meeting of the state
land board the applications of the
West End Twin Falls Irrigation COM
pany for an extension of time in
which to get water upon its lands,
and of the Owyhee Irrigation COM
pany for an increase in the price Of
water were heard and taken under
advisement.
The West End Twin Falls lrriga-
ton company made the argument
that thcy would be unable to ccm-
plete their construction work by the
time originally specified, June ],
1911, and asked for an extension un-
til June I. 1912. sThe board took the
matter under advisement, referring
the legal side of the question to the
attorney general. and asking the state
engineer to investigate conditions and
report at once.
Joseph NJ. Hawthorne appeared IN
behalf of the Owyhee Irrigation com
pany and asked that an increase in
the price of water from $50 to SAC
per acre be permitted This matter
was also taken under advisement, and
report from the state engineer
called for
The matter of forest fires was ais
taken up, and the following fire mar

WILL CLEAR SETTLERS LAND
Idaho Irrigation Company Offers To
Cultivate Land For People

In speaking of the activities of the
irrigation company in that section,
the Richfield Recorder says:
The Idaho Irrigation company has
about completed arrangements TO

The company last week sent out
lot of circulars to see if there were
enough landholders on the tract who
want to have the land cultivated to
make possible a concerted movement
in the way of a clearing and operat-
ing department of the company. They
have a lot of fine teams. and the
lack of horses has at all times been
the one serious drawback to farming
here. If the replies indicate that
it will be feasible, it is proposed that
the company put in a complete outfit
for clearing and cultivating land On
a large scale, and viii be ready TO
assist the settlers in every way pos
sible by securing them this service
at a lower cost than it has been pos
sible to get the work done for in the
past. It is believed that such a
movement will greatly encourage the
speedy development Of the tract
and the sooner the country is ali
under cultivation, the sooner land
values will go to SIS. 500, $50 an

prices is as certain as the shining OF
the sun; the only thing needed 20
make them real is for the land to be
generally settled and cultivated, to
give it the value of the other valuable
lands around it. A gratifying num-
Der of very favorable replies are be-
ing received, indicating that the peo-
pie will be glad to command the SER

the company has ever made. 1t

SAILOR BOY
RETURNS HOME
l.. r. DANIELS DECIDES TO TAKB
a CRUISE FOR AWHILE
UPON LAND AGAIN.
Local Boy Has Had Chance TO See
Many Places of Interest While on
Voyage Is More 70 His Liking.

L. e. Daniels, the eldest son of f.
b. Daniels of this city, returned home
last Friday from Bremerton, Wash.
For the past year and half he has
been in the u. S. Navy and has had
the chance of seeing a great deal of
the world during that time. AL
though the work in the navy is not
the kind he likes best in the world,
he says:
Il have had that wild and romantic
streak in my makeup satisfied for
once"
Mr. Daniels went into the navy at
San Francisco and spent several
months on the western coast. On the
5th day of September, 1909, their
fleet departed for Honolulu, where
they remained until October Z. Then
they visited the Admiralty Islands,
where a sight met their eyes whicn
win be long remembered. One of the
islands in this group is practically
uninhabited except for the few brown
skinned natives who were seen here
and there running about as the
Indians used to do in this country.
All kinds of fruit grow on these is
lands, and the abundance of bananas
and cocoanuts is far beyond our con
ception.
The fleet spent nearly two months
at Manila, where the first large
battle practice was held They
reached Hong Kong on the 25th OF
December and remained there about
a week. Next they went to Nagaski
Japan, and then through the Inlan,
Sea to Yokahoma. They left the
latter place for Honolulu on the Is
of February, and while on this par
of the trip there was nothing to se'
but blue beneath and blue above 70
over IA days.
After remaining a short time il
Honolulu the fleet sailed for Sai
/ Francisco and entered the Colder
Gate about the last of February
Target practice was held in the Santi
Barbara channel and then the boat
travelled to the navy yard at Bremen
ton, Wash, arriving there about tn
18th of April.
Mr. Daniels purchased his dis
charge about two weeks ago, afte
over six months of red tape, as h.
calls it, His many friends are gla
to have him back again in thei

BIG HAUL IN MAIL POUCH.
Pouch Stolen at Payette Depot on the
Night of June 2O-RObbers Get
$500 i'm Currency

The following is taken from the
Payette Independent of July %:
News of a big mail pouch robbery
at this place. which occurred on the
night OF June 2Oth, has been with
held from the general public until
this week when Postoffice Inspector
Clements of Portland and Superin-
tendent of Railway Mail Service
Barkley of Spokane VISITED Payette
this week to make personal invesii-
cations of the affair The robbers
got away with many registered pack
ages, one of which contained s25OO
in currency, being sent east by the
Payette National bank. Another
package contained over $4,000 in
collateral notes, being sent east by
the First National bank. This is
one of the largest hauls of this kind
made by robbers in good many
years.
Discovery of the robbery was not
made until several days after it oc-
Cured. when complaint was made
that registered packages sent out
June 20 had not reached their desti-
nation Investigation Of the matter
was made, and the railway mai
clerks reported that the sack had
never reached their hands. AS the
carrier who takes the mail back and
forth from the postoffice to the
depot reports that he received tn,
pouch from the postoffice on tn,
night of the robbery and left It foi
the night man at the depot to dis
( patch, the conclusion is reached
that the sack was stolen between
the time it was placed on the Gran,
and the arrival of the train.
This is the second mail poucf
stolen at this place this year. Tn,
first one was stolen in March an.
later found in a slough near tn,
track between this city and Weiser
with the side of the sack slashed oper
and the contents rifled. Then anoth
er sack was received here a shor
time ago with a large hole cut il
the bottom, but with no evidence
that any of the contents had been dis
turbed.
Loss TO local persons and con
Germs will not be very heavy, as tn,
postoffice department is responsible,
for the money orders, and the sun
Of money being sent by the Payett'
National bank was insured, ans
since the robbery the insurance com
pany has paid to the Payette Ma
: tional bank the amount of its loss il
full. The notes lost by the First Ma
tional bank can be replaced. but onll
after a great deal of trouble anf
time.
