Mr.. LEWIS ANSWERS
"CLARION FRIEND"
With WORDS

LOlCOI OldI IOIl. NV w.
last issue your editorial state
ment that you are authorized to
publish the following wager in
behalf of some enthusiastic sup
porter of the Sanders regime,
whose name is not given:
Congressman Broussard made
a statement in his speech in Ope-
lousas that the state debt has
been increased by the Sanders
administration. I will bet $500
that the state debt has not been
that it remains sta
tionary. I will leave it to the
Times Democrat"
The party proposing the wager
has probably obtained from the
Times Democrat a statement that
the state debt has not been in
creased, and remains the same
that it was-the T~imes-Democrat
statement evidently being in
reference to the capital Of the
state bonded debt. However,
anyone making such a wager as
that offered would be foolish to
agree that the question be set
tied otherwise than by the books
of the State Treasurer's office.
That those authoritative sources
of information disprove the con-
tention of the Clarion's friend,
appears clearly enough from the
the following, contained in Rep
resentative L. E. Thomas state
ment just published, viz:
LAS evidence that the fore
going appropriations were ex-
cessive in some items, consider
ing the revenues Of the state,
the general fund was heavily
overdrawn last December, and
the state still owed the fiscal
agent bank S176,35 5 borrowed
money that they have been
owing now for practically two
years, and had to extend the
notes because there were no
funds with which to pay them.
This money is still owing to the
banks of the state. These facts
can be proved by the books in
the State Treasurer's office, and
also by a statement which was
published last December, being
taken verbatim from the balance
book in the state treasurer,s
office. Such a condition as this
has not happened before the
present administration in over
20 years." ,
It is time, Mr.. Editor, that
some supporter of the admins,
tration should deny Mr.. Thomas
statement, and which has here
tofore been published.
But no one contends that the
administration has increased the
bonded Indebtedness Of the
State, for it could not do SO with
out a constitutional amendment.
The charge is that Sanders has
enormously increased the cost Of
maintaining the administration
of the state government, the ex-
cess over previous administra-
tons being the sum of $275, 300
annually, or for the four years
of the Sanders administration
81, 1O1, 200, and this additional
liability upon the tax payers is
evidently what MI. Broussard
referred to. The list of these
new exactions is APPALLING and
disheartening to the taxpayer.

SOUR GRAPES

The editor Of the Gooding Herald,
who just recently made his appear
ance in Lincoln county, and became
the scli-appointcd ringinaster Of
county politics, has Il Crouch" on
because the press OF the county will
not Jump at the crack Of his whip,
and proceed to denouncc and up
braid about every public official in
the county.
Last week this pretended defender
(through selfish motives only) of
the common people, sought to give
the TIMES lecture, simply because
the County Commissioners in their
desire to give the most publicity
possible to their proceedings, select
ed the TINES a. one of the mediums
through which 10 publish these pro-
cecdingS.
The TINES was not founded for
the purpose of delving in petty pol
itics. Its mission was to seek to
protect the interests Of the common
people in matters of far more i'm
portancc at the present time, thar
the question of whether democrat:
or republicans should control tn,
management Of county affairs, ano
il has no inclination to criticize any
official of the county upon the hear
say evidence of any newspaper
which may differ in its politica
views with these officers.
The board of County Coinmis
sionerS issued Il statement To thu
citizens of the county in refutatiol
of the charges made against them
and solicited a thorough investiga
tion of their acts 10y a competen
committee. As this investigation
was to cover the period since tn
formation of Lincoln county, tn
Herald wisely abstaincd from en-
couraging such an investigation
and until such time as more tan
gible proof is presented to Us, W
shall continue to hold the positio
we do at the present time, whethe
we are favored with the publicatio
of the official proceedings or not.

RATES On HAY REDUCED

Through the efforts Of the Twin
Falls Commercial Club the Oregon
Short Line has made a rate OF 50 90
per ton on hay from Southern Idaho
points to the Missouri River and
SO. 80 per ton to East St. Louis,
This is a reduction of 81 90 per
ton over the former rate and by
permission of the Inter State Com
mcrcc Commission this new rate
goes into effect at once. T. T..
Dimmitt, who represents the Farm
ers Union in the sale Of hay, says
that this means saving OF at least
S5, 600 within the next thirty days
a. n conservative estimate of the hay
shipped East in that time would he
1000 to 5000 tons. George ID. Ak
en-, president OF the Filler Alfalfa
Products Company, estimates that
the new tariff will save S100,0N
for the tract this season. He base;
this statement on the fact that there
will be 300, 900 tons of hay on The
tract and at least 100000 tons vii
be shipped East.

RICE CASE DECIDED

Judge Walters last week handed
down a decision in the foreclosure
proceedings of the Twin Falls Land
a. Water Co. VS.. Geo. w. Rice ct al.
The case has attracted unusual in
terest on account of the points in
volved. Mr.. Rice set up number
of counter-claims, which have been
overruled by the court. He con-
tended that the system was not
completed; that the company had
failed to execute its contract with
the state; that the company had
wrongfully conveyed an interest in
the Milner dam to the North Side
Land a. Water Co. Mr.. Rice alst
alleged damages on account of er'
roneous survey. The case will b'
appealed to the supreme court and
may eventually be fought through
the L. s. courts. There is consider
able surprise expressed by land own
ers that Judge Walters should hav'
rendered the decision he did, as h
has always been regarded as frlendl.
to the interests of the farmer.

We do not know what relief is in
sight for the settlers. The COMPANY
have promised sufficient supply
again within ten days, and it i
hoped that with the determined ac-
tl"n now inaugurated by the settler,
some decisive plan may be agreed
upon.
This interruption coming at the
present time is very unfortunate
after the bright prospects we have
enjoyed all the season, and will work
hardships on many who have sown
late grain, and who have been de-
pending on the melon crop for a
source Of revenue, and unless sup
ply of water is furnished at once.
the most Of this crop will be total
loss.
\ special meeting of the Farm
ers Association was called for
Thursday afternoon To consider the
situation, and the interest mani
tested was clearly indicated in one
Of the largest gatherings the asso-
citation ever held.
The action of the board of direc-
tors at their meeting ON Tuesday
was heartily endorsed, thus giving
them the assurance Of the support
Of the association in their efforts t.
bring about an equitable adjust.
lnent Of the rights of the settler.
aS provided under the Cary Act
laws.
W. p. Rice, H. a member Of Tn,
the board Of directors briefly called
attention Ia some of the advantage,
that had been obtained through til,
efforts Of the association, and stated
that various other questions Of vita
importance TO the tract were now
under consideration pending IN,
opinion OF the attorney for the asso
citation.
Ii i cviden, from the general sen
timent expressed at the meeting
and opinions heard all along TIN
line, that questions of dispute be
tween the cntrymen and the com
pany will be forced into the courts
as further talk of compromise seem
fruitlcss. While no formal action
was taken, the suggestion that ever,
entryman on the tract join with tn
board of directors in their demand
for reforms, met with unanimou
approval. Prior To the meeting
several radical measures were pro
prosed, hut fortunately most con
servative course was pursued, bu
, the meeting was adjourned with
determination on the part of ever
, member of the association to no
give up the fight until their right
/ had been fully established throug
