New proposals are being prepared
by the Company and will be sent
to the water holders in the course
of a few days, and the Company
is de5irous that these be returned
as quickly as possible in order that
the title to the system may be re-
quired without unnecessary delay, as
a de'ay of a month or two now may
amount to the loss ofafull irrigation

board of directors of Mountain Home,
together with those in Seattle are
doing all In their power to push work
as rapidly as possible, and all feel
that the success of the project is sure
and Is but a matter oftime. There tav
been certain changes made In the ned
proposals which we believe will make
them much more acceptable, by, and
beneficial to the water right holders.

HOMESTEAD EN-.
TRY CANCELLED
Decision in Contest Case Of Ger
trude Kelly vs.. E. Sam
uel Rogers

A valuable homestead entry was
cancelled yesterday through dec
ision rendered by the register and
receiver CO the Boise land office In
The contest case of Gertrude Kelley
against e. Sumner Rogers. The lall
is located near Caldwell and Is de-
scribed as the south half of the north
west quarter, northeast quarter of the
northwest quarter. section 26, town
ship north, range west. The en-
try Is cancelled on the grounds that
a mere pre,ense of compliance with
tDe law.
Rogers made the homestead entry
on September 10, 1908. Nearly IA
months had expired after the making
of the eAtry prior to the initiation OF
SDe contest on the grounds that Rog-
ers had wholly abandoned the tract
and had never established residence.
In their decision the register and
receiver say
"We cannot feel in view of the
circumstances of the case, that this
esidence, even though 1t amounted
two weeks in the month of Aug
ust, was sufficient to entitle this en-
tryman with crdeit for establishing
aud maintaining a legal residence on
this homestead. he testimony as to
his subsequent course has an impor-
tant bearing on this feature of the
case. After he left the residence on
August % HI took his departure from
that section of the country and did
not return there until after the ex.
piration of some four months. 1t was
on December % that he learned of
The filing of the contest and it was
some time later than that when he
returned to the laand. This indi-
Gates very plainly that his purpose
was to make showing of residence
in August before the end of the first
year Of his entry, and then remain
away until near the end of the next
six months. He seems to have con-
sidered the building of the house in
March as the establishment of resi-
dence, and whatever residence he did
maintain in August, seems to have
been for the purpose only of main
tanning semblance of residence.
Practically no effort whatever was
made by this entryman to improve
lis land, nor was any effort made to
tegin cultivation. In March, 1909, It'll
seems homesteaders in that locality
were expecting to secure water. | Il
further appears they did secure some
water that spring, though the supply
was not sufficient to enable them to
produce crops on any considerable
scale. This entryman undoubtedly
knew of the prospects for securing
water, but he took no steps whatev-
or toward preparing his land for cul-
tivation. Later on, the water was cut
off by break in the main canal, but
that was after entrymen had done
their planting for the season. Even
II there had been no prospect for se-
curing water. it was the duty of the

STATE RIGHTS
IN CONSERVATION
Senator Jones Of Washington Con-
tends that States Can Better
Control Public Lands.

That the states have some rights
IN conserving their own resources
aud that state control of water power
coal lands etc., may be better thar
control through federal bureau clerks
at Washington, is the doctrine ad
vanced by Senator Jones of Wash
ington in a speech in the senate last
week. Senator Jones also favored
the appointment of commission to
go thoroughly into the conservation
question and report to Congress. 1t
developed that a sub committee of
the committee on public lands is al
ready doing so to the extent of its
eauthority. Senator Jones advocat'
ID the same principles that were EN-
bodied in a recent report of the Sc
attic Chamber of Commerce, drafted
by Judge Thomas Burke, and express
ing the views of western business
men on this question, namely that
our natural resources should be de-
veloped and used, under careful sup
ervision, preferably by the states
wherein the resources lie.
Another problem of states rights
which will come before the northwest.
ern states soon is the income tax
amendment to the constitution of the
United States. 1t is up to three
fourths of the states to ratify the am
endment. Both political parties are
committed to an income tax, but the
proposed amendment, it is said to
infringe on states rights by making
possible the taxation not only of pri-
vate incomes, but of state, county or
ether revenues, or any other kind Of
income, public or private. The In
come tax will be considered by the
various state legislatures next win
ter.
According to reports which have
come to the commercial organizations
of this city from similar organizations
throughout the northwest, the lands
of Oregon, Washington and Idaho are
fast being gobbled up by new settlers
from the eastern and middle western
states. Along the railroad lines new
homes are springing up by the hund-
, ends. Officials of the Great North

the so-called rush will keep UP all
