NO LET UP IN RAILROAD
SURVEYING.
Crew Working Up the River
Above the Canyon--Survey
A Branch Line.

The Pittsburg & Gilmore-North-
western-Milwaukee-B. & M.-Butte
to Emnett-Harriman-Hill-W Whittier
to Whence crew of surveyors are
still here and, rain or shine, hot or
cold. fair or cloudy, they are losing
not minute of time in prosecuting
their work.
Last week we left them at Stage
Coach gulch. From there they have
set stakes along the south slope and
across the fiat east of town to Black
canyon. The survey passes through
the Sasser and Charlie Bays orch
ards, cuts the Wilton-Craig tlact in
two, thence turns northeast, cuts off
a corner of Harry Carmichael's s
orchard and then makes a bee line
for the canyon. The survey has
been continued several miles up the
river from the canyon. A pass has
been found through the hills south
west of town, with l per cent
grade. Today, the force is making
a Typographical survey along the
hills south of Warden farm. 1t is
expected that the force here will be
in a few days and that
cross sectioning will begin.

Electric Theater's Bill of Fare.

Two nights of splendid entertain
ment have been provided by the
Electric Theatre Friday and Satur-
day. The leading feature is "a
Bear Hunt in the Rockies. This
picture is unique. An actual bear
hunt is reproduced as it actually
occurred, with Frank Dickens, veter-
an Colorado hunter, as the bear
slayer. The indescribably beautiful
scenery of Colorado is faithfully
shown, and the mountains and gor-
ges and streams in the very heart of
the Rockies are pictured in all their
grandeur. Enlivened by the pur-
suit and death of a grizzly bear, it
is scene seldom seen. Another
feature is ''The Life Buoy,
a string drama. To give spice to
the program, two laughable bio
graphs are shown, The Day After"
and Choosing a Husband.

Will the Government Relinquish?

A question often asked is, will the
government relinquish the project
to the new organization? The of
ficers have received every assurance
from Secretary Ballinger that it will
do so as soon as the irrigation dis
trict is able to satisfy Uncle Sam
that it is able to carry the enter
prise to completion. The relinquish-
ment of this project by the govern
ment will have bearing upon the
present railroad situation in this
end of the valley and Emmett will
be the beneficiary thereof, for this
reason: The filing of the govern
ment at Black Canyon is for a dam
92 feet high. This would back the
water as far as the Marsh ranch and
inundate practically the entire
valley between the two points,
thereby running a considerable area
of land adapted to fruit growing.
Future railroad routes must also be
built accordingly-that is 100 feet
above the river. From this eleva-
tion it is impossible for a main line
to get into town. The survey being
made by the crew of surveyors now
at work here is being run along the
hills at that height. By relinquish-
ing the dam proposition, railroads
would have an easy grade into the
valley and through town.

IMPROVEMENTS ON BENCH.
Four New Farm Houses Already
Planned for Spring.

The adjustment of the differences
between the Canyon Canal company
and the settlers has already inspired
confidence among the land owners
on the bench to such an extent that
substa ntlal Improvements will be
made all over that famous tract the
coming season.
In addition to the large acreage
Of fruit trees that will be planted
there in the spring, four new farm
houses of modern construction have
already been decided upon and
numerous others are in contempla-
sion.
One of them is already under
way. 1t is being built for Guy
Dayton on his 20 acre tract pur-
chased from M. E. Lewis.
Another will be built for w. H.
Shane. Lumber is now being haul
ed for it. 1t will be a well arrang-
ed modern dwelling and will have a
slightly location on the southern ex-
tremity of the bench, commanding
a magnificent view of this city and
the entire Emmett valley.
A near companion to the Shane
residence will be conveniently
planned and slightly farm residence
for H. L. Fest. This, too, is so To-
Gated as to command view of the
valley.
c. H. Martin is the other builder.
This residence will be located on as
thrifty 40-acre young apple orch
ard as can be found anywhere. This
dwelling will be of modern design,
also, and a slightly structure. Mr..
Martin will improve another 40 acre
Tact by seeding it to alfalfa.
D. Mcmillan has also made ex-
Rnsive plans for improving the land
and his two sons own, among
Thich are the planting of 40 acres
; orchard and the erection of sub
antial farm buildings. He will
pit build a residence this year.

is CONSTITUTIONAL
Local Option Law Upheld
by Supreme Court.

The state supreme court handed
down a decision Tuesday declaring
the constitutionality of the local
option law enacted by the last legis-
lature.
Cases from both Canyon and Latah
counties were involved in the appeal.
The opinion is written in the case of
Thomas Gillesby vs. the Board of
county commissioners of Canyon,
county and the Latah county appeal
governed by the same ruling. Gil
lesby appealed from the action of
the board in ordering a special
election. The district court refused
to grant the relief sought and the
case was appealed to the supreme
court.
The opinion was written by Justice
Stewart and concurred in by Chief
Justice Sullivan and Justice Ailshie,
and its principal points follow:
No person in the State of Idaho
has vested right to engage in the
sale of intoxicating liquor and the
regulation, control and prohibition
of the traffic is proper exercise of
the police power.
The law is not uncertain or am
biguous.
Where there is no specific pro-
vision for matters pertaining TO
elections and registration, the gen.
eral election laws obtain.
The court holds that the different
sections of the statute governing its
enforcement and the method of
carrying out the will of the people
are Independent and separate pro-
visions, and in no way govern or
control the method provided by the
legislature for the submission of the
question to the electors. Under this
ruling, the discussion in the opinion
is limited to matters pertaining to
provision for elections. Issues rails
ed as to provision for the enforce
ment of the law are not considered.
An entire act will not be declared
void or unconstitutional by reason
of the fact that a section may be
and void, where
the latter is distinct and separable
from the remaining provisions.

BLACK CANYON IRRICAT'N DIST.
Emmett Will Be the Center of Opera
tons of Six Million Dollar
Project

project into the Black Canyon Irrigation District being
greeted and the financial aid which the homesteaders and
business interests of the district extending,
the realization of the hopes of the promoters and hackers
early date and gives to the longsuering settlers
who have been waiting for five years for the
to undertake the work. almost positive that
lief in sight. The incorporation of the district and the
securing of the right of way for the main canals is
matter of but short time
To Emmett the building of this immense project is
matter of great Importance Engineers estimates place
the total cost of the system at million dollars At least
onehaf of this will be expended in the Payette val
ley, and Emmett will be the base Of supplies and
of operations during the construction of the Payete val
ley portion of the work Not only will the business
receive large benefits but every farmer fruit grower and
stock raiser will find profitable market for his products
and every laborer who desires to work will find steady
employment. Therefore, the entire Emmett country
should give the proposition its enthusiastic moral and fl
nancial support.

at least 100000, and at the same
time the system covers an area of
10000 acres under this plan as
against As, 900 acres under the gov
ernment plan.
The dam at Black Canyon, as
planned by the reclamation service,
was to have been 92 feet high. The
new canal being rs feet higher will
therefore be 167 feet high. A change
in plans at the canyon is being con-
sidered. Instead of following the
hillside and placing the canal in the
hard granite rock which forms one
side of the canyon, it is proposed to
use tunnel, which it is believed
will be less expensive.
The meeting was an enthusiastic
one and the homesteaders pledged
their support.

Purchasers for Bonds.

The 6 million dollar bond issue
which the district proposes to
negotiate has been spoken for by
three companies, one of which is the
Trowbridge & Niver Co. The bonds
will not be issued all at one time,
but as the work progresses. These
companies are also prepared to take
the contract for the construction of
the system.
