Three Brothers Killed.

James Hunter, a brother of Jo-
seph Hunter, the latter a pioneer of
this place who was found dead last
January by the side of the railroad
track near Caldwell and sup
posed to have been killed by
falling from the train, ar
rived here Sunday. Mr.. Hunter
recently sold his farm in Kansas
and looked for location in Colo
RADIO, but finding none that suited
him, has concluded to return to
Iowa, his old home. Mr.. Hunter
will remain here six weeks or two
months and then go to Seattle to
visit a daughter, who is a school
teacher in that city. One of Mr..
Hunters brothers was killed in the
rebellion and another was killed in
1852 near American Falls, in this
State, in a fight with Indians. James
Hunter has had considerable ex-
perience in Indian warfare. He
served three years in the war with
tho Sioux's in 1863, ga, and '65.
This was one of the hardest fought
wars in the history of the United
States. The fighting was in north
western Iowa. the Dakotas and Mon
tana.-Idaho City World.

TOO Much
WATER WASTED
DON BARK, GOVERNMENT EX-
PERT, WILL MAKE THOR
OUCH EXAMINATION.

Loss of Water in Irrigation bitches
Subject of Study-Government
Agent to Begin Intricate System
Of Classification to Devise Plans
to Prevent Loss.
If plans which have been origi-
mated by Don H. Bark, head OF the
government irrigation work, 60
through, there will be an enormous
saving to the farmers of this state
in the amount of water which will
be conserved as a result OF decreas-
ing the seepage of the bitches.
There is an enormous loss Of
water intended for irrigation pur-
poses in this state" said Mr.. Bark.
1--WE hope to be able to save mil
lions of dollars to the farmers of
Idaho as a result of the tests which
we propose to make of the loss of
water through seepage. We propose
to rate bitches throughout the state
so as to include, as far as possible,
bitches dug in various kinds Of soil.
Then we propose to ascertain the
best method to prevent this seepage
aside from using concrete, which is,
of course, too expensive for ordinary
work.
Il have just returned from Rig
by, and there, for instance, they use
several times as much water as
anywhere in that part of the coun-
try, and their crops are small. The
point is that the seepage eats up
much of the water without doing
any appreciable good.
Special Instruments Used.
1--WE have instruments which will
rate the amount Of water which goes
below six feet and which is conse-
quently wasted.
THE season is backward In Rigby
and the crops are two weeks behind
time right now, as a result of the
cold weather which has prevailed
there. AS matter of fact the same
condition prevails generally through
out the state and everywhere there
is report that the crops are far
behind what they were a year ago,
owing to the extremely cold season.
In the future this departmnt will
be fully able to take care OF the
farmers on the amount of water
to their lands to produce
the best results.
"a. V. Tillman has been employed
for this purpose, and he will start
in at once. While his salary and
travelling expenses will be heavy,
believe that the benefits which will
accrue to the state as the result of
an expert to advise on irrigation
matters will more than pay for his
Statesman.

Road District Carries.

By vote of 4O1 to 66 the peo-
pie of the proposed Nampa highway
district went on record Saturday in
favor of good roads through the
medium Of the district plan as out
lined by senate bill No. 100 which
became a law at the last Idaho leg
islature. While the vote was rather
light it was representative and it
was notable that the farmers of the
district, who are perhaps more di-
rectly interested in tho road ques-
ton than their city brothers were
out in support Of the issue. The
organization of the district will be
decided step towards better public
highways, matter very essential
to the further development and pros
perity of the country. 1t places the
building, improving and maintaining
of public highways entirely in the
hands of the people of the district
and assures that all road and bridge
taxes assessed against the property
Of the district will be returned with
the exception of per cent? to be
spent for the benefit of the highways
of the district.
The Nampa highway election is
the first to be held in the state al
though Ada county has an election
of the same nature the 8th, and the
movement is agitated by almost ev-
cry community in southern Idaho.
Caldwell, Roswell, Payette and 9TH
ers of Canyon county are working
for the organization of districts.
The Nampa highway district in
cludes over $4,000 acres of land
tributary to this city, and the road
taxes have amounted to between
$4,000 and $4,000 annually.
The territory included covers
practically the same section as was
proposed for Nampa county when a
movement was made for such a
county during the recent session of
the state legislature. 1t begins at n
point on the Ada county line about
seven miles northeast of Nampa,
where that line forms a right angle
toward tho west. It follows that
county line west two miles, thence
south two miles, thence west two
miles, and thence south to the
Snake river. The Ada county line
forms the east boundary.
Additional territory can be taken
into the district by petition of prop
erty owners affected, and there is
already some talk of several sec
tions on the north being annexed
by request of the residents of that
ocality.-Nampa Leader-Herald.

uncle, Grafton Worthington, met
with very unfortunate accident
last night, the result OF which will
delay his sojourn in this city several
days. Mr.. Burroughs was walking
about the porch, at the Worthington
home late last night, when in some
unexplained manner he became con-
fused and fell to the ground, a dis
lance of about six feet AS Mr..
Worthington said: "He struck in no
less than twelve distinct places at
the same time" Other than sus-
tanning a number of bruises, he suf-
fered a sprained ankle. DR.. e. v.
Hoover was summoned, and the
patient is feeling much improved this
morning. Mr.. Burroughs stopped on
here enroute from points in Cali

Burroughs had intended to leave
Roseburg this morning, but on ac-
count of his accident, 1t is not likely
that he will get away before Sunday.

Will BUILD
THE RAILROAD
w. f. PIERCE SUBMITS HIS
PROPOSITION TO CALDWELL
COMMERCIAL CLUB.

Wants Franchise, Right-of-way and
Grade Work Done by the People
of Caldwell-Committee Waits on
MIR. Pierce at Boise for Further
Particulars
A large enthusiastic meeting of
citizens of Caldwell, Roswell and in
termediate points was held in the
Commercial club rooms Monday af-
ternoon for the purpose OF discuss
ing the Roswell extension PROPOSE
ton submitted by Mr.. w. e. Pierce,
president of the Boise & Interurban
Railroad Co. The Pierce PROPOSE
ton, accompanied by maps, was
spbmitted to the people interested.
After a thorough investigation a
committee was appoined to go to
Boise for the purpose of talking the
matter over with Mr.. Pierce. This
committee was headed by Mr.. Wal
ter Grif1ths. 1t called on Mr.. Pierce
Monday evening at Boise. 1t re-
ceived hearty welcome and
was promised to submit his
proposition in a little more definite
shape in another letter. The COM
mittee returned home quite conf1dnt
that Mr.. Pierce will submit such
proposition as the people interested
can accept and fulfill.
Mr.. Pierce asked that the people
at Caldwell land Roswell and along
the line give his company street
franchises in Caldwell, terminal
grounds at Roswell, the right-of-
way from Caldwell to Roswell and
grade the road bed. 1t is estimated
that the expense would APPROACH
$35, 100000. The people at the
meeting Monday thought that Mr..
Pierce's letter was not definite
enough in that he made absolutely
no pledges of building the railroad.
The people interested would have
to go to great expense and trouble
while they had no assurance that the
road would be built. To take up
his matter was the duty of the
committee appointed to wait on Mr..
Pierce.
AS stated above the committee re-
turned home very we'll pleased and
with the assurance that another
proposition would be submitted in
the course of a few days. The peo-
pie seemed inclined to do their ut
most to fulfilled the conditions.
The meeting Monday was a repre-
sentative gathering. Mr.. w. H.
Redway presided at the meeting.
There were present a great many
of the substantial business men of
Caldwell; representatives from Ros-
we'll and from the other settlements
along the proposed line. The best
of feeling prevailed.
