PAYETTE CLUB
WAS PUNCHED

Sheriff Breshears, accompanied by
Prosecuting Attorney Hagelin went to
Payette Wednesday and arrested H. c.
Ficke, secretary of the Concordia club
of that city. The Concordia club is
charged with the unlawful sale OF
liquors. Mr.. Ficke furnished bonds
for his appearance in Caldwell for
trial.
The Concordia club is social or
ganization having 800 members COM
prising some of the leading business
and professional men of the city, as
we'll as travelling men who frequently
make Payette, and farmers living near.
The club occupies the old Bank sal
DON building. Henry Rimer, prom
inent rancher and socialist worker
living near town is president Of the
club.
1t was announced that no further
arrests would be made for the pres
ent, but other arrests might follow
soon after the trial by the secretary.
1t is understood that the evidence
was gathered by agents in the employ
of the Law Enforcement league OF
Canyon county and that prosecutions
will be pushed with vigor, not only
against the officers and members OF
this club, but against other clubs in
the county, a number of whom are
said to be under suspicion.
Judge N. N. Woods Of Shoshone
county in a case tried before him, rem
dered a decision that clubs must take
out a county and city license to DO
business. = The decision places clubs
upon the same footings as saloons,
The case was against the Commercial
club of Boise. Judge Fremont WOOD
as a member Of tle.Boiso Commercial
club was disqualified from sitting or

COL. E. R. PLACE HOPING. and WAITING

When it comes to arousing the en-
thusiasm or relating the glories of
Idaho, Col. E. R. Place is as eloquent
as old Demosthenes himself; but when
it comes to letting go of any facts
about railroads or other things in
which he is interested the Colonel is
about as communicative as a clam.
He don't know thing and never did
and never will he. He said that he
was in hopes that construction work
on the Winnemucca railroad would
start about July LIST. He was in hopes
that he could get the rails and equip
ment by that time. He was in hopes
that there would be something doing
in Caldwell in the near future. As

A MIGHTY GOOD
CANDIDATE. here

Now when it comes TO q candidate
who is a candidate, what have you
to say about Dan Ackley for Sheriff
of Canyon County? That is ques-
ton being generally asked by Mr..
Ackley's Canyon county friends. No
one seems authorized to state that Mr..
Ackley is a candidate or will be a
candidate, but everyone seems to
think that he would be just the man.
Mr.. Aclxley lives at Nampa, or as
near Nampa as a man would care to
live. He is a man of unques-
toned ability and of great experience
and would make strong campaign
and a good officer when elected. For
some years he has been travelling
guard at the Idaho State Penitentiary.
His experience in his present position
would be valuable to him as sheriff.
In thinking over the available men in
Canyon county we can think of no one
who would be more acceptable than
Dan Ackley. He is well known over
the county and highly popular wherev-
err known. The Tribune can see moth
ing wrong with him for sheriff OF
Canyon county.

Between 100000 and 100000
will be necessary for the completion of
the South Side Payette-Boise and the
Minidoka projects, including the pro-
posed reservoir system in the Boise
canyon, according to a statement made
recently by Supervising Engineer
Weymouth of the reclamation service
in Idaho. 81 have not been advised
OF the governments intention to
abandon the North Side Payette-B Boise
project, but have read the press dis
patches and would not be surprised to
receive such a notice within the next
few days." he stated.
"Such step has seemed necessary,
as all available funds for construction
work in Idaho, even in case the pro-
posed bond issue in the sum of $780,
100000 should be authorized, will
hardly be sufficient to complete the
work already under way on the south
side Payette-B and Minidoka pro-
jects. From 100000 to $5,OOO,O0
will be required, including Idaho's
share of the funds under the bond is.

the South Side project at this time
would, therefore, necessarily retart

The Irrigation Investigation
Branch of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture in Idaho under my super
vision is now planning broad and
extensive investigation of the duty of
water Which will be of immense ben
eft to the irrigators of this and other
regions for all time to come. Water
is to be measured this year upon Sc
.lected farms in every section of irri-
gated idaho, 15-acre fields being used
for the purpose in each case. Each
15-acre field is to be divided into 8
equal plats and different amounts of
water will be applied to each and the
yield, carefully measured"
=. The farmers of this section should
lend Mr.. Bark and the Department
every assistance, as they will be i'm
mensely benefited by the experiments
conducted here. The matter is impor-
tant to irrigators all over the state.

WATER USERS TO
MEET TUESDAY

The Boise-Payette Water Users as
ISOLATION will meet Tuesday wnen, a
mong other things to be discussed, the
Warren irrigation bill, introduced in
the senate, will be considered and
strong resolutions will be forwarded
to Senator Hepburn anent his stand on
the bill. AS far as a canvass could
be made, it is thought that the men,
bers of the association believe that the
Warren bill will be of great aid to
the irrigation projects in this vicinity
and that they resent the attitude of
Senator Hepburn towards the bill.
The matter of relief for the people
of the north side project of the Boise
Payette valley will also be one of the
important matters discussed. The de-
cision of the government to do moth
ing with this project for the present
has left many of the settlers in sorry
predicament and it is hoped that some
thing may be arranged for their tenn
porary aid.
F. E. Weymouth, supervising engi-
neer of the government reclamation
department of this section, has been
spending the past week looking up
further reservoir sites up the river for
storage purposes for the south side
project. Mr.. Weymouth will attend
the Caldwell meeting and his report
of the progress of the work will be
listened to with interest.
The account of Senator Borah's eff
forts in behalf of the bond issue as re-
lated in yesterdays press dispatches
was read with interest by the members
of the association. AS yet no reply
has been received by the officers of the
association to their communications
sent to Congressman Mondell asking
his aid in behalf of the bill. -

The Black Canyon Irrigation COM
mittee, on organization, is busy get
ting signers to petition to be pre-
scented to the county commissioners
asking that an irrigation district be
formed under the name of the Black
Canyon Irrigation District. The Com
mittee is meeting with splendid sue
cess in getting signatures; all who
have had the petition presented to
them have signed. 1t is the intention
to have the petition ready for the
commissioners in about two weeks.
Meetings will be held at the several
voting places in the district during
the next ten days in order that the
residents can more easily sign the pc
tition. The description of the dis
trict covers 20 pages of legal cap.
The proposed district embraces
10000 acres, the greater portion OF
which is splendid land. From the
dispatches appearing in the States
man it is understood that the govern
ment has released all claims to the
north side of the Payette-Boise prof.
ect, and thus leaves the settlers free
to complete the project.

The following form of petition il
being circulated by homesteaders anC
will be sent to congress and Presiden
Taft.

FARMERS To ORGANIZE
AN IRRIGATION DISTRICT

Saturday a representative of The
Trihune called on w. R. Cupp, Presi'
don't of the North Side Water Users
Committee, and asked for statement
- +ba plans of the homesteaders on
the north side. Mr.. Cupp informed
nc that the plans were already per-
footed for the organization of an ir-
rication district under state laws.
The petitions have been prepared and
are now being circulated and signed.
petition will be presented to the
county commissioners at this term.
The work of organizing will be taken
nm at once and carried to success.
President Cupp and Secretary Graef
have been in correspondence with east
ern bond buyers for some time and
feel confident of easily disposing of
bonds with which to build the irriga-
ton system. The financing Of the
nroiect was one of the real difficulties
the promoters had to contend with.
Engineer E. E. Hedden has completed
his preliminary surveys for the pro
posed projects and furnished his es-
Inmates. The estimates show the
project to be entirely feasible both
from an engineering and financial
standpoint. Mr.. Cupp informed US
that the action of the Interior Depart
ment in regard to the north side was
not unexpected. AS a matter of fact,
the north side was held up in with
drawal until the homesteaders could
perfect their arrangements for the
reclamation of the land.
Saturdays Statesman contained an
interview with Supervising Engineer
Weymouth. The Statesman said:

title upon the completion of five years
residence" he stated. "They have al
ready taken steps to organize an ir-
rigation district, and when this has
been perfected there will be no trouble
in inducing private capital to build
the project.
"The district is to be known as the
Black Canyon district and will include
approximately 10000 more acres of
land than covered by the proposed
north side project, making a total of
10000 OF which between 10000 and
100000 will be on the Boise slope and
the remainder on the Payette side.
The canals will come out at point
near Middleton and extend down to
a point near Parma, irrigating strip
Of land fully 20 miles in length. A
part of the land to be included along
the Payette, is in the vicinity of En-
NETT.
"The land under the north side
project will now in all probability be
, restored to the public domain, which
will enable the entryman who may
be able to show cause to commute and
obtain title without further residence
Gwen though the government has
abandoned the work, the settlers are
hopeful and there is no doubt but
that they will obtain water for theil
land which comprise as fine an area
as to be found anywhere in the west.

That gem of wisdom is about all we

from the east where. he has been for

Gates are having printed. 1t is a

to be letter from Mother Caldwell"

about Caldwell and her resources, ad-

rotary inquired concerning the condi-
ton of the work of the service in
Idaho, agreeing with him at that time
that the settlers under the north side
Payette-Bois project should be mott
fed of the actual condition of affairs
as soon as it should be determined that
the government would be unable to go
ahead with the work.
Although the fund derived from the
proposed bond issue in the sum of
$3O,OOO,OOO will be expended at the
direction of the secretary OF the in
terror department, it will in all prob
ability be apportioned among 16
states and while Idaho's share will be
greater than many of the others, En-

will be fortunate if the amount pro-
cured is sufficient to result in an early
