AFTER CORRECT DATA

Carey Act Commissioner Shaw
han has called upon the various ir-
rigation companies operating in
this state under the provisions of
the Carey act for information rela-
tive to the amount of water rights
owned by the various companies,
and the amount of the available
supply for irrigating purposes on
lands under the project, the acreage
contained in the various projects
and other items for the information
of the department. The object in
obtaining this data is to give the
Carey Act department and the land
board an opportunity to determine
whether or not sales of land have
been made on the various segrega-
tions over and above the amount
of acreage for which the companies
available supply of water is sufii-
cient.
At the present time the records
are very incomplete relative to these
points, and the Commissioner makes
it imperative upon the companies
to furnish this information, as 4
failure to comply with the request
means that no further proofs will
receive the approval of the boarc
until these statements are forthcom
ing.
Following the request for thi
information, the following appeareC

THE LAND OPENING

Monday was the day set apart
for the drawing for the ii 900 acres
of land opened for entry by the
North Side Land and Water com
pany under a pumping system.
Early in the morning the farmers
of the surrounding country com
menced to arrive in town and a spe-
cial train over the Idaho Southern
brought several citizens from sur.
rounding towns, all eager to watch
the developments of the day. The
lack of attendance Of prospective
purchasers from a distance was not
only disappointing to our citizens
generally but to the company oili-
cials as well. Several power of at
terneys had been forwarded, which
was due to the efficient work Of the
company's Chicago promoter.
The drawing opened shortly before
o'clock with a little over 100
numbers in the churn. No. "A
was the first number drawn and
this proxy was held by W. A. Heiss
Of this place, for Mr.. Ike l.. Higbt
of Denver. Through some misun-
derstanding no filing was made or
this number and the first choice
therefore reverted to Mr.. Chas. w
Scheck Of Pittsburg, who by proxS
filed upon 100 acres. a total o
104 filings were made, which repre-
sents about G000 acres and as WI
understand it, all the filings wer
made by proxy.
Some of the land in this entry i
among the best on the tract and i
well worth the price charged of SCI
per acre were it not for the higl
maintenance fee that will have I
be borne year after year. This fac
deferred many local residents fron
registering for the same, as lam
equally as good under the gravit
system could be purchased for tn
same amount.
This land is all under a pump
ing system, the power for the sam
being supplied by the Great She
shone Power Co. According to n
ports seven pumping stations wi
be installed to deliver the wat,
over the tract, and it is stated tn;
water will be available for some
the land next spring.
The settlement and developmel
of this land will enhance the vall
Of other lands on the North Sid
and the high maintenance chars
will discourage the speculator, wi
in turn will be anxious TO have h
land improved that he may res
some benefit from it.

A movement has been set on foot
by some of the counties looking to
an arrangement being made where
by taxes can be paid semi-annually
in January and July of each year.
As the law now stands taxes become
delinquent after January LIST, after
which a penalty is attached. Under
the arrangement as asked for, no
penalty would be attached until the
last half became due in July. Many
states in the east have a. law govern
ing the semi-annual payment OF
taxes which seems to work very
satisfactory, and we can see no valio
reason why the same rule shoulo
not be adopted here. OF course nj
one would be deprived of paying
the full amount of their taxes or
the first of January as at present.
