The Twin Falls North Side Com.
pany to be Sued For Failure to
Deliver Sufficient Water.

Practically all the residents on the
north side Twin Falls tract have
joined together and instituted a suit
against the Twin Falls Land & Watel
company for damages i'm the sum OF
$150,000 for failure to deliver water
agreed during the seasons of 190910
and through their attorney. Jess B.
Hawley, the suits will be filled in the
district court in Lincoln county early
next week
The suit against the big company
in which the Kuhn Brothers, of Pitts.
burg, are interested has been pending
for some time and every attempt has
been made on the part of the land
owners to effect a settlement, their
attorney having made two trips east
and visited the tracts with an agent
from the company in order to ascer-
tain the actual losses to settlers by
reason of their not being able to fur
nish water. Until short time ago
it looked as though a compromise
would be reached and the company
would settle the claims, but word was
received several days ago that nothin
would be dome about the matter and
the suit is soon to bestarted.
Conditions on the north side tract
are said to be very bad, the settlers
being mostly business men, who left
their homes in the east and came
here and settled on the lands opened
under the Carey &C, building homes
and preparing their land for crops.
While the tract was only sparsely
settled there was sufficient water for
the crops, but as the tract became
thickly settled, the water supply was
not nearly sufficient. it is alleged
and by reason thereof the loss to
the settlers was heavy and some have
been left absolutely bankrupt with
no possible means of support.-Cap-

CUBERNATORIAL
POSSIBILITY
SWEETSER LIKELY CANDIDATE
FOR GOVERNOR OF IDAHO
IN 1912.

Lieutenant Governor L. H. Sweet
ser has won a statewide reputation
for his fairness as presiding officer
OF the senate of this state for two
successive sessions-the tenth and
eleventh. In token of The esteem In
which he is held by the members OF
both upper houses during those ses-
sions he was presented with hand
some gifts. Two years ago he re-
ceived Morris chair and last might
he was presented with an elaborate
and complete set of gentlemen's toi-
let articles in ebony with silver trim
mings and set in leather case. This
was the gift of the 23 senators. The
senate attaches presented him with
an openrfaced gold watch, ON the
back of which were engraved his in
itials.
In his short address OF acceptance
President Sweetser spoke with .
great deal of feeling. 1t was during
his speech that he dropped the broad
hint that two years from now he will,
in all probability, be candidate for
gubernatorial honors on the repub.
can ticket.

this kind has i'm this state. II the
commission is an issue In the cam
paiGn two years hence, President
Sweetser will stand solidly ON a COM
mission plank, should he be a guber-
Material candidate, it lis reliably re-
ported.
When the commission fight broke
in the senate and that measure was
killed, 1T was we'll known fact that
every effort was being made to throt-
tie the bill without mercy. Lieuten-
mt Governor Sweetser used every
possible advantage permitted under
parliame entary law to save the bill
and keep 1t in the hands of Its frien-
DIS and not its enemies. 1t was as
serted at this time that he was TAX
ing snap judgment. However, the
older members of the senate, familiar
with parliamentary ruling, realized
that President Sweetser was acting
clearly Within his power as presid-
ing officer.
Lieutenant Governor Sweetser stat
ed in the senate last evening that
he had been In politics for 20 years
and that he did not suppose that he
could remain out of the fascinating
game. He made the positive state
ment that he would never again oc-
cupy the chair of lieutenant governor.
His statement Is considered signif-
