Arrested for Horse Stealing,

Last week the Sheriff of Twin
Falls Co. returned from Larmie.
WyO., with Henry Work man and
Mr.. Won Cochran, Of Dry Greek.
These men left Twin Falls Co.
very suddenly a short time ago
and about the same time Buck
Rice and a Mr.. Gray who live
near Rock Greek missed some
horses from their fields. The later
immediately began pursuit with
the result that bothiollowed their
horses tracks through the mount
ans south east till they reached
point some where near Kelton on

Mr.. Gray returned and MIR. Rice

at Laramie and their horses were
in the bunch.
The officers were sought and
these men placed under arrest and
returned to Idaho, while Mr..
Rice furnished Bonds and will
dispose of The horses.
1t will be remembered that MIR.
Workman was mixed up in the
Hold-up of the Idaho So. R.R.
Conductor at Miner last winter,
and Mr.. Cochran was the fellow
who was said to have done the
shooting on the streets of Oakley
year ago last oath July.
1t looks as if the Authorities

in the bunch and which evidence
may result in their paying the
penalty for wiliul crime.

is to be obtained from the Buck
horn, Big Cottonwood, Cedar
and Dry Greeks III Cassia Co.

Experiments made by Don Bark
Director of Irrigation investigat-
ions III this State has made sew
eral experiments at Gooding, dis
closing vital results to the people
there and which will doubtless
apply to this project.
" Different amounts of water
have been put on three kinds of
grain. the Sonora, Bluestem, and
Defiance wheats, to find out how
much water should be applied to
secure the best results. The
amount of water varied on 27
different plots, from dry farming,
with no application, all the way
up to four feet of water during
this season. The stuff hasn't been
threshed vet, and when it is, more
important data will be forth
coming.
The observations show that
these grains grew finely up to
depth of one and one half feet of
water, but from there on they
droppep off i'll yields of both
straw and grain. This, therefore
indicates that about a foot and a
half'ot water is the right measure
for the season on that particular
soil and for that kind of a crop.
The soil at the station is the
typical lava ash which is scommOn
to a greater part of ESouthern
Idaho, so that probably similar
results would be secured in other
places"
Mr. Bark gives statistics on the
size and kind of canal also, but
we felt the people here were inter
ested, mostly in the amount o
water used on the land in differ
ent sections, as the amount to b,
distributed to lands under thi,
project is what was used a
Gooding for best results.

Radical Change in Mems S
Clothing.

One Ofthe most radical changes
made IN mems clothing has taken
place this year for fall fashions.
IN the shape Of short coats and
skin tight trousers. This is TAX
ing strong hold in Eastern centres
but very likely the West will be
slow to accept such a change.
1t is quite in keeping with the
style among ladies of wearing
hobble skirts. Misery likes COM
pany so no doubt the ladies has
had strong bearing in shaping
the idea, if not the pant leg of
the male sex.
This symmetrical idea NAV be
supported from an economical
stand point, on the same ground
that Nevada was falsely named
the only free State in the Union,
because she permitted the Ohm
SON. Jefferies prize fight, but would
it not be awful if the Unique
Theatre or Howells Opera House
caught on fire and these poor
hobbled pairs could not move
fast enough to escape torture
without ripping skirt or busting
pant leg to do SO. Should the
fashion strike the West, the prop
rietors of our amusement places
will be perfectly justified in in
stalling a sort of conveyor or
"chute the chute" affair to care
for these helpless souls and in
crease the entrance fee to 81 80

Important Decision Involving
Water Ownership Handed
Down by Judge.
HOLDS THAT APPROPRIATION MAY
BE MADE UPON PRIVATE LANDS.

SHOSHONE, Aug. 1O.-Judge
Walters has announced a decision
IN a case OF tar-reaching import
ance and which is without par.
allel in the history of litigation
in this state. The case concerned
was entitled Frank Marshall VS..
the Niagara Orchard Company,
and it appeared that the Niagara
Orchard Company were the own
ers of a certain tract Of land ON
Snake River, near Buhl, upon
which is Situated huge spring
capable OF developing several
thousand horsepower NJ arshall
had made application with the
state engineers Office to secure
said spring as power site and
the defendant company contested
his right i'll this regard on the
ground that inasmuch as the
spring was located within their
land that the state engineer had
no authority to grant a permit,
and contended further that water
appropriations could only be
made on the unappropiated pub
lie domain and not upon private
lands.
Judge Walter held that in this
state an Appropriation to divert
water NAV be made upon the
private lands OF any person from
any spring or natural stream
which may flow upon or through
such land, or, in other words,
that if one owns the land, he does
not own the water unless he
applies it to beneficial use.

Presidency, and members of the
Bishopric OF all but three Wards
in the Stake, and large numbe
of visitors and friends present.
The Blaine Ward furnished the
Music and Singing for the Meet
ings of the Conference. Much
credit is due Bp Vim. F Rawson
and this excellent body OF singers
for the effort in coming SO far and I,
doing the excellent singing which |
they did. The people here were
delighted with the pieces render
ed and the able management of
their leader John X. Adamson.
Much original talent was mani
tested in both solo and chorus
singing.
The opening address wasmade
by Pres. Jack, who gave the key
note which succeeding speakers
followed, by saying THAT while
it was the universal opinion of
practically everyone who visits
this section that this country has
a bright future, the people who
reside here and who may come
later has a greater future before
them"
This thought was prevalent i'll
the minds OF many as it was re-
terred to by those who spoke
during the Conference.
Bp. Vim +, Rawson, Harvey
Sessions. Thos. E. Harper and
Counsellor Butler reported their
respective Wards, while ex- Bishop
Harris, ] r. and w. l.. Adamson
of Blaine Ward and Alice Sessions
Pres. of Relief Society addressed
the Audience on timely topics.
Ia the latter part OF the first dav's
session Apostle Geo. +. Richards,
and Jos. w. McMurrin of the
Council of Seventy arrived from
Salt Lake City. They occupied
a part of the time and encouraged
the saints to not sell their homes
and wander through the country
homeless; to be industrious and
active in the upholding of good
laws.
Saturday night the NJ |. A.
Workers entertained the public
with a musical program which
was profitable and interesting.
Services recontinued Sunday
with large attendance. The Edu-
cauonal Work of the Latter-dav
Saints was discussed at some
length by Prof. Mills ofthe Cassia
Stake Academy and particularly
the benefits to he obtained by
young men and young women
attending that institution. Apos-
tie Richards and Pres. McMurrin
elaborated upon the subject and
plainly set forth the great bless
ings to be secured by young peo-
pie of about an equal class meet
Jag together in such institutions.
Such acquaintances led to life
contracts ofminds ofequal ability
and thought and as a consequence
happy unions were formed which
will result in excellent homes and
strong healthful characters.
The unanimous opinion of those
soexpressirg themselves was that
the topics dwelt upon were of
vital Importance and the way
they were presented to the people
gave evidence of the earnestness
and honesty in the lines of the
Latter-Day Saints in teaching
such doctrine and trying to live it.
Fully 600 people attended the
Conference.
