, FEW STATEMENTS OF FACTS.

So many statements have been
made pro and con, relative to the
controversy now pending between
the farmers and the North Side
Land and Water Co., and rs these
statements have been enlarged upon
and made capital of 10y irreSponsi-
ble parties and outside newspapers,
to the detriment of the tract, we
deem it To- the welfare of all that
the real facts in the case be given
to the public.
April /, 1909, was the time set
by the company for turning water
on the tract and entrymen on land
here were notified to make residence
on same, which was complied with
to large extent. 1t was to be eX-
pected that in the workings of an
undertaking OF the magnitude of
the canal system of the North Side,
that mistakes would be made and
many unlocked for troubles would
arise
The canals were all new and
breaks were frequent, resulting i'll Il
very irregular flow of water, and
after in the season the big dam at
Miner was put out of commission,
lccessitating the shutting off of the
water entirely. What grain was
put in that year was quite late and
consequently was Il loss to the
armcr through lack OF water,
many of the farmers near Wendell
laviug received no water at all dur
ng the season. To the casual Oh
erver much of this damage could |
nave been avoided had the Co I

refused to grant that the Co. were
in anywise responsible for the loss
of crops, stigmatizing the claims rs
a large graft. He offered, however,
To turn over To the directors of the
Farmers Association, $50, 10000,
not as payment of claims, but for
them to distribute where they
deemed most proper, this offer,
however, carrying with it Il condi-
ton that the Co. be set right before
the State Land Board, and that the
Twin Falls North Side Land and
Water Company's system was
standard and equal to the best in
southern Idaho. This the directors
felt that they could not consistently
do, and as Il counter claim offered
to settle all claims against the Co.
for $50, 10000, half to be paid in
cash and one-half to be applied ON
payments and interest. This prop
osition was rejected by Mr.. purdy,
and the matter carried to Mr.. W.
;. Kuhn, president of the Co., by
whom it was also rejected, but who
to increase the amount to
$50, 900, and would also advance
S25, 600 additional a. loan, on
second mortgages, To relieve those
most in need, this offer carrying
with it the same condition exacted
by Mr.. Purdy. Again the directors
were compelled To refuse this propo-
,ition, and seeing no hope of an
settlement, at full meet
ing OF the board resolution was
passed instructing

year, or until they had completed
their system OF reservoirs a. called
for in their contracts with the state.
Early in 1910 representatives Of
the Co. made settlements with the
farmers around Wendell for dam
ages sustained, but H. the claims
around Jerome were made in the
nature Of damaged crops, very few
settlements We're made.
sept. 10th, 1909, the Water Co.. g.,
through :. W. Hays, their attorney.
appeared before the state land
board, petitioning that body for
authority to arrange for 40, 600
acre feet Of stored water at Jackson
Lake, Wyo., in lieu Of the reser-
vOlr- agreed To on the tract, which
agreement was afterwards recinded.
the Co. at the time agreeing To
change the location Of the reservoirs
on the tract and to build them with

RUE EDOUARD VII, PARIS
The New Street to Become Thor. Al oughfare in About Two Years

ffars Correspondence London Telegraph. . In few weeks time the last houses fir the way will have been pulled down for the new Rue Edouard VII, which is to start from the Boulevard des Capucincs, and, by making a bend at a right angle to open into the Rue de Caumartin. The boulevard end of the new street has been cleared for some weeks past, and foun- dations are being laid. According to the promises of the architects, the Rue Ee- ouard VII. Is to be something new in Paris and will become the center of the Parsian West End, which. as in the case of all European capitals steadily moves more and more westward.
 The street. to begin with, will be en- tirely private property. The pavement of the footpaths is to be of marble, 'as fin Venice" At the bend is to be d garden and in the midst of 1t statue of King Edward. Who the sculptor of this mon- ument will be is not stated. Glass roofs Will jut over the pavement, shielding foot passengers from rain or sun, along the Swhole length of the street. The newest kind of international hotels. two or three tn number, will be built, with doors on She Rue Edouard VII, and the shops will be the best in Paris.
 The ambition of the Edward VII street tpf Paris evidently Is to cut out the Rue Re la Paix. It will be opened to upaffic an two years time or less. Finally, the most remarkable feature of the Rue ,E,douard VII will be that. being a prf- sNate road, it will be "entirely and strict 5y policed by private policemen" These about 20 in number, will be, 1t seems all Drought over from London. Presumably they will be retired constables. and will occupy the about the same position here

Cost of Commodities in Japan

According to an article in Osaka Asahi, prices have gone up in Japan over twofold in the last 20 years, while the pur chasing value of the currency has sensibly declined. Taking the average rate of prices in January, 1887, at 100 and the value of the currency at the same time at 100 the rate of prices In 1910 would be 22s and the value of currency 43, according to a table published by the Bank of Japan, writes Consul West from Kobe.
 Another table published by the same bank shows that the advance in the prices of imported goods has been comparatively small, while the rise in the price of goods produced for the home market and for ex- port has been greater. Compared with the advance in prices in other countries, the Japanese rate of advance has been about per cent greater than that in London and New York. This may be due to some special influence, such as the enormous expansion in the amount of money in circulation.

JOY PLIERS STEAL A RIDE Someone Took St. Louis AyiatOr's Aeroplane and Never Returned It

From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch
 F.. E. Lessard, an aviator who has been attempting flights at Washington Park, teephoned to Sheriff Mulconnery e East St. Louis the other day that someone had stolen his monoplane.
 So far as has been learned, this is the first time that anyone ever complained of the theft of a flying machine.
 Lessard suspects joy f1iers.
 When he last saw the monoplane It was safe 1t it's hanger in the eastern suburbs of East St. Louis. where ann bilious avators had been making daily flights for several months.
 Lessard was proud of his monoplane. which he values at $500
 Sheriff Mulconnery is up in the air. It is the first time he ever had an assignment to look for lost areoplane. Naturally, there is but one way to look' and his neck is getting stiff.
 Lessard at first thought that the thieves took the machine apart and carted 1t away, but no evidence that this was done can be found in or around the hangar and the belief that the thief flew away in the machine Is growing stronger among the aviation experts at Washing ton Park.

Advantage of a "No Tobacco" Day

If you want really to enjoy your TO- bacco, give it up for one day Of the week. If you do that it will taste nve times as good and you will be far less likely to become a tobacco fend.'
 This is the advice of wel-known doe tor, who says that quite number or men, including himself have lately adopt ca this plan N
 By leaving off tobacco for one day week you give your system time to get rid of the effects of the drug he said.
 You will then enjoy your tobacco Tar more, too because you have become un- accustomed toI the flavor, and it is, there fore. more enjoyable when you resume smoking.
 .',rhe effect of tobacco is general seda- five action on the nervous system, which diminishes the power of taste and smell. That is why tea-tasters seldom or never smoke.
 'I.eave it off for day, and the sense of taste recovers Not only that, but leav- ing of tobacco for one day voluntarily breaks the tobacco habit, exercises the self-control and prevents one from be- coming a slave to the habit slaves to the tobacco habit suffer from irritable hearts, loss of appetite for breakfast, eye trouble, sometimes going as far as blindness. chronic catarrh of <he throat and nervous depression"

as stalwart and magnificent commission aires do in London.
 Twenty pleasant posts, with, it may be supposed, fine uniforms will therefore soon be offered to London policemen wno think they might like to settle on the bou- levards. They must. however, be warned that they will be expected to speak En- glish, Italian and German perfectly-rath- CT large order, perhaps, for a retired constable. They will also have to know French enough to make themselves un- derstood." Apparently no more French than is, required nowadays on the cos mopolitan Paris boulevards. Would-be private policemen of the Rue Fdouard VII have about two years in which to qualify themselves by learning Italian, German and the little French needed in Paris
