WATER RIGHTS TO BE DETER
MINED

A Shoshone dispatch of the 18th
inst. says:
District Judge Edward A. Wal
tiers, sitting in Twin Falls County,
denied an application made by one
of the attorneys for the defendants
i'm the suit to decree the waters OF
Snake river below American Falls
for an order requiring the state en-
gineer to make Il survey and plat OF
the lands involved in this water
suit. The case is known n the
Twin Falls Canal company W. fos-
ter ct al and involves the date OF
priorities of the water rights per
tanning to the Minidoka reclamation
project, both the gravity and the
pumping systems and as well as the
South Side and North Side Twin
Falls irrigation schemes, and whicl
is perhaps the largest water suit
ever started in this state, both as tC
number of parties concerned and a'
to amount of property involved.
Judge Walters held that the sur
veys and maps and plats would b'
of slight value in this suit and tha
the cost for making the same woulC
he too burdensome inasmuch rs l
is estimated survey of the land
concerned would cost from $lO,OO'
to $4,000. Judge Walters set tn
hearing in this case to commenc
january 20, 1912, before hlmsel
in Twin Falls county. The lengtl
of time which it will take to tr
/. this action and take all the evidenc
is problematical. After it is deter
mined, then the exact date OF tn
appropriations and the priorities q
the water rights of the irrigate
tracts mentioned will be settlec
Some difficulty has been experience
in distributing the waters of Snal
river between these concerns durir
the past two irrigating seasons I
the waters of Snake river becan
low.

LANDS WITHDRAWN
Over One-haIf of the $4,000 Acres
Opened Last Week Withdrawn
From Entry.
statesman Dec. 2OJ

Finding that certain portions Of
the North Side Twin Falls tract,
which was thrown open at Jerome
on December IL, were rocky, too
high and unfit to be classed as agri-
culture lands, the state land board
yesterday at a special meeting or
dered the lands in question with
drawn from entry temporarily.
The lands withdrawn comprise a
little over 700 acres and at the land
department yesterday it was an
nOunccd that at some time in the
near future practically all of the
lands under this order will be with
drawn permanently, as it was said
that much of the portion withdrawn
is entirely too high to be furnished
with water under a pumping system
Others Of the acreage are said to be
so rocky that it will be impossible
to bring the land under cultivation.

EXPERIMENTING ON THE FARM

BY Alfred +. stratford b. -
The modern farmer is trying at
all times to improve his farm and
everything on it. This article is
not mean for him, hut for the slip
shod farmer who is using the an
tiuue methods of the ancients. He
is the man we see in every farming
community, and the individual
that must be educated to modern
methods of farm management.
1t is an easy thing to run farm,
and to run it right is also easy if
the farmer is progressive and ready
to adopt tested experiments. A
farmer to-day must keep i'll touch
with his. state experiment station.
His IDEAS may he \ No. | accord
ing to his own way of thinking, but
to the experimenter they are all
wrong. Experiment is the work
of thought and should be adopted
on every farm.
1t is very simple manner to set
aside few acres Of land for expert
nentation purposes. The results
you obtain at first will perhaps be
crude. This is in accordance witt
any new undertaking, and time anc
energy can only bring results.
Let Us set aside five acres fo
. smut experiments. We divide tn
. plot into five parts of one acre eacl
| and plant in one, wheat that ha
been treated with the blue vitro
! methcd, in the second plot whea
, that was previously treated with tn
founalin treatment, in third pie
plant seed that has been given
scientific hot water treatment. Th
remaining two plots we plant t
smutty wheat and wheat that show
no smut spots whatsoever. This
an experiment, and is worth tn
while of any farmer to try. ii
can find out for himself the valu
I of each smut treatment and the IT
= suits of planting smutty seed an
e seed that has not been treated.
Is The results obtained 10y him frol
y this little outlay of land and time
'S worth money, but above all thins
l. it teaches him to be observant. A
le obServant person makes n moder
r farmer. A modern farmer is WIN

For the first time American
perches were offered for sale on the
London markets, this year. They
came from Wenatchee and brought
record prices, according to Il report
from Consul General J. l.. Grllliths.
The consignment of 20OO cases was
shipped from Wenatchee to London
being in transit just l3 days. This
is also a record in the matter oi
fruit forwarding. Heretofore, few
Canadian peaches have reached
London. The demand for the Am
erican variety is increasing. Con
sidering that fine peaches sold 10

DECREED WATER RIGHTS
Settlers Insist Upon The Full Amount
Awarded Them.
(Idaho statesman.J

Decreed water rights are to be
maintained by rigid enforcement of
the court DEGREES by the state Of
ficials, according to statements
made by Water Commissioner Mae
Beth.
Mr.. Macbeth, Monday, held a
conference with state Engineer A.
+. Robinson and Governor Hawley
ON an important point that has
arisen ON the Darlington irrigation
project in Custer county.
Macbeth asserts that the district
court, with Judge X. |. Perky on
the bench, decreed some years ago
that each acre Of land in this tract
was entitled to one inch of water
In spite of this decree the pro-
moters Of the project, according to
the statements of Mac Beth, sold
the land to settlers, mostly Swedes
from the east, with a water right Of
fve-eights of an inch to the acre.
The balance Of three-eights they are
holding back to sell to other settlers.
This gives them a margin, the COM
missioner says, Of practically 1000
inches to sell, and a. it is worth
from $40 to $50 an inch, it repre-
sents nice additional profit.
This matter was forced upon the
attention of the officials by three
of the settlers-Messrs. Lindberg,
Christensen and Jensen who, act
ing a. a committee for all the set
tiers, called upon Commissioner
Macbeth and laid the matter before
him. They argued that tive-eights
of All inch of water was not enough
even now, when they have but a
part of their land under cultivation,
and that later even one inch will not
he enough.
On the strength Of this protest
Commissioner Macbeth took the
matter up with the state engineer
and the governor. He was sus-
tanned by them in the position that
he had already taken, to the effect
that the decree of the court must b,
enforced to the letter. He says he
intends to insist upon seeing thai
the settlers on the Darlington pro
iect get their full one inch of waite
to the acre, and that anybody VIII,
undertakes to cut down the suppl.
must first fight the matter through
the courts.
Commissioner Macbeth assert
e. also that the Darlington tract Is no
q the only one that will he atfectc'
10y this position he has taken. Their
are other projects, he says, wher
g the same tactics are being worke
! 10y the promoters-selling waite
rights to the settlers inferior t
- those decreed hy the courts, an
pocketing the balance to add
their profits.

SETTLERS DEMAND ACTION.

The controversy that has been
pending for some time between the
settlers on the King Hill project and
the Irrigating Co. through the State
Land Board, was brought to eli
max on Monday of this week when
w. T. Stafford, president Of the As
sociated Water Users Union, as at
torney for the King Hill settlers,
appeared before the board and de-
manded that they take immediate
steps to compel the irrigating COM
pany to complete the work or for
felt their contracts as prescribed by
law. The board has cited the com
pany to appear before them on Fri
day of this week and inform the
board as to plans contemplated by
il for furnishing water to the tract
the coming year, and in the event
that the company have no satisfac-
tory plans, to show cause why the
contracts should not be forfeited.
In their demands we believe the
King Hill people have the hearty
support Of every water user in this
section of the state. For the past
two seasons they have had an made
quate supply of water to mature the
crops, with no better prospects foi
1912. Be it said however, to tn,
credit of many of them, they have
refused to make any payments un
til il j. shown that water is availa
bic. Mr.. Slick, contractor, who il
deeply involved with the defunc
company, attributed this As the rea
son why the system was not com
pleted, and stated that if the farm
ers had paid up there would b
enough money in the treasury a
this time with which to complete
the work. " He said nothing abou
the company failing to keep its con
tract, but advised cooperation. TIN
history OF this sort Of procedure a
practiced on some Of the other seq
regations, is not such as to encour
age any further steps along this lin
and the King Hill people are to b
congratulated upon their action /
demanding right and justice as civ
en- them under the law. The resu
of this step will he closely watche
by all.

SURPRISING FIGURES

More than s21 600, 600 worth of
sand and gravel was dug for sale in
the United States in 1910. This
is figure not many million dollars
removed from our present annual
production of silver. According to
report by Earnest +. Burchard
lust issued 10y the United States
Geological Survey, the production
of glass sand, other sand and gravel
in 1910, was 50, 40, $50, short tons
valued at s2l, ,037 $50, against 50,
565, ,55l short tons, valued at slS,-
1886, 800, for 1909.
This increase in production oi
nearly 10000, 900 short tons and ii
value of over 50, 100000 is due tC
the more extensive use of sand anc

WHO Is WHO


interest in this state will soon be
argued before the supreme court Of
the United States. The case is
brought by the government against
the MinidOka 4 Southwestern rail
road in which the former seeks to
cnjOin the latter from crossing the
Minidoka project. Though the Il.
R. had secured right of way from
the entrynen, the government AS
serted that the entrymcn had moth
ing to do with the proposition at
all, that the United States still had
an interest in that land as the entry
men had only made their first pay
mcnts ON il and had secured no
deed of any kind showing II clear
title to the ground. 1t disputed
their right to grant Il right OF way
across land that they did not own
and in which the government still
held a controlling interest. The
district attorney argued that the
president had withdrawn the land
for specific purpose, to reclaim II
from the arid desert land Of Idaho,
and that when the railroad com
pany started to build across thesC
lands and erect enbankments anC
build bridges, it thwarted those
purposes by interfering with the
irrigation project plans that ha'
been worked out. By the decision
Of the higher court everything IL
the matter of public lands of thi
kind is left in the hands of the sec
retary of the interior, whose decis
sion is final, and maps and chart
must he filed in the secretary : Otiic
and must be approved by him be
fore any work can he started ON TIN
land. The court held that the fed
eral interest in the land was sucl
that the railroad could not throw
up these embankmentS that woul,
interfere with the project, nor coul'
it put in bridges across the cana
that would catch the debris an,
: check the water flow or cause IT t

Magnhcen Temple to Be Dedicated TO the Instruction and Convenience of the Public Next W.
nsday BY President TAFT Gov Dix, Mayor Ganor and Distinguished Representation
ofhe Culture Of the EnMe Nation

OO0, 900 without feeling cramped.
Nine years ago next November the
cornerstone was laid by Mayor Seth
Low. Since then criticism has been
abundant, not always we'll Informed
and often conflicting. In great meas
ure the public has been hampered
in any true appreciation of the build
ing as a whole by the fragmentary
and ragged state Of it's approaches.
Said JOIN w. Alexander, the painter.
THE public library reminds me of a
beautiful woman who hasn't kept
her finger nails clean.' All that
has now been dom away with. The
approaches have been cleared and the
building stands free to the public
gaze as the architects planned.
Not the least interesting thing about
it is the land on which it stands. At
the opening of the revolution, the
site was part of the spacious ountry
place of Robert Murray, a Quaker
merchant of the busy city hat then
lay three miles south of him. At
that time the tow had only cached
as far north as Fulton street. AS it
grew, the adjacent countryside took
his name and became Murray Hill.
long a select residential district, still
the home of j. P%ierpOnt Morgan, but
now invaded by the advancing forces
of business.
In 1872 the city contained 123,706
inhabitants and about 10000 houses.
There was no strictly residential quar-
ter, but the most promising develop
ment .enfolded the field which has
since become Washington Square at
the foot Of Fifth Avenue. But there
was q drawback. Before the rich
merchants could be expected to build
about the square. it was necessary
TO find a new potter's field, for the
~friendless dead were then buried in
the acres about to become a pleasure
ground for the living. Accordingly
the city bought the land now bounded
to north and south by 40th and And
streets and to east and west by 9TH
adm 9Th Avenues, for sS,449, and
made a potter's field of It. That was
in 1928 and the same land was last
valued at $40, 600, 900.
In 1892 it was decided TO make the
field a reservoir for the newly
planned Croton system, not only be
cause the ground was hig but be
cause it was then far out in the couE-
