GEORGE STROBE IN LOCAL HOS.
PITAL.

Word was received here shortly
after noon yesterday to the effect
that George Strobe, brother of Will
and James of this city, was critically
Ill on Sinker Creek, and DR.. H. P.
Ross started in one of Dewey's autos
for the ranch. The distance is about
so miles and they arrived there in
the evening.
The doctor found that Mr.. Strobe
was suffering with an attack of ap-
pendicitis, He had been sick for the
past four days, but his condition did
not become alarming until Sunday.
He was relieved at once of consid-
cradle suffering, but for prscaution
he was brought to Nampa the same
evening. as a relapse might make 1t
necessary for an operation.
At present the patient is at the
Namps hospital and is apparently re-
overing.-Nampa Record.

DECISION HANDED

JUDGE DIETRICH REVERSED IN
DECISION BY CIRCUIT

Railroads Must Secure Permission
From Government Before They
Can Transverse Reclamation Pro-
JectS With Their Lines According
to Latest Decision.

to Latest Decision,
What is claimed by the district
attorneys office to be one of the
most important decisions to Idaho
that has been handed down by the
United States circuit court of ap-
peals of San Francisco has Just been
received by District Attorney c. H.
Lingenfelter. 1t reVerses Judge
Frank S. DIETRICH in his decision re-
fusing to grant an injunction against
the Minidoka G Southwestern Rail-
way company, a subsidiary line of
the Oregon Short Line, to prevent it
from building line across the Mini
doka reclamation project. The gov
eminent petitioned for the inJunc-
tion and Judge Dietrich held that
the road had a right to build, pro-
viding it installed proper crossing
over the canals erected by the gov
eminent for irrigation purposes.
The circuit court held that the
government had invested $1,3OO,OOO
in the Ninidoka project and the rail-
road could not undo the work per-
formed by the government, it being
feared that the construction of the
road would interfere with the canal
system. More important than this
point involved, in the opinion of the
district attorney, is another in the
case as to whether a reclamation
project that Is being constructed by
the government and which is settled
up on by homesteaders can be used
by railroad for construction work
without the consent of the secretary
of the interior and the signing of
stipulation agreeing to comply with
the wishes of the government regu-
lattng the construction of q pro-
posed road and its possible interior
sncs with the irrigation system that
Ia being installed. The opinion Of
the circuit court of appeals is be-
lieVed by federal officials here to
indicate that this permission must
now be secured by a road proposing
to build In this manner.

erR Money.
Readers OF the Tribune will re.
call that several weeks ago State
Auditor Taylor suggested that the
state sell its school bonds to eastsrn
people and loan the money derived
from the sale to Idaho farmers. The
plan would give the state a bigger
income and at the same time give
the people comparatively cheap mon
ey. AT a meeting of the state land
board held in Boise last week the
following resolution was submitted
by Auditor Taylor:
Resolved, That the register OF
the land board be instructed to ad-
Vertiss forthwith the sale of $25O,-
900 worth of school bonds in &C.
cordance with the resolution hereto
fore adopted by this board, said no
tlce of sale to run in at least two
daily papers of the state for a per-
iod of 80 days, and provide for
sealed bids to be filed with the regis
ter of the board and to be opened
in the presence of the board at a
time to be specified in said notice,
the board to reserve the right to re-
ject any and all bids"
What 1t May Mean.
This is looked upon as the hrst
definite step in the sale of about
100000 in trust fund bonds to
eastern bonding houses and the loan
ing Of the money SO secured to the
farmers of the state at the rate of
per cent interest. The land board
IS now getting but per cent on the
money, so that this would mean an
additional income of approximately
100000 from this source. On the
ot"sr hand, farmers wac borrow
earterL money pay In intv sSt aid

heir money. II they could borrow

Emmett Fixes Tax Levy.

The city council Tuesday night
fixed the tax levy for 1911 at 20
mills, an increase over last year of
mills. OF this 10 mills is for the
expenses of the city government and
5 mills to take up the outstanding
Indebtedness.
The assessed valuation this year
shows an increase of $16S,032 over
last year, the 1911 valuation being
$422,784 and the 1910 valuation
$254,762. The levy will raise ap-
proximately $4,000.
The question OF issuing bonds to
take up the outstanding indebted
ness, which amounts to over $1,000,
was discussed at some length, but
there was a diversity of opinion
among the councilmen as to the
wisdom OF that course. Today, how
ever, a more favorable opinion is
expressed in regard to taking up the
Indebtedness in that way instead OF
by a levy this year and 1t is prob
able the ordinance fixing the levy
will be held up until another meet
ing can be held and the matter gone
over more thoroughly. The levy of
mills will raise only $1,000, which
will not materially reduce the in
debtedness. II a bond issue is au-
thorized the tax levy this year will
be reduced to IT mills, the same as
last year.-Emmett Index.

Tho state board of equalization
last week ixed tho levy for state
purposes at mills upon q vaiua-
ton of $50 million dollars. The levy
last year was I'll mills upon val
uation of 127 million dollars. This
will raise $500, 900 as against 1916
900 last year.

Auditor Taylor takes the position
that the circulation of this amount
OF money would give a tremendous
stimulus TO business in general.
Tho Tribune has called attention to
tho fact many times that the thing
really needed in Idaho Is capital,
While this state is crying for capt.
tai untold millions of dollars are
idle In eastern banks. The school
bonds are desirable securities in the
east. They can be sold readily and
probably at . premium. The money
viii be used In the further Develop
ment OF the state.

Leaders OF the "wets" in Washing

their special election until next Feb
ruary. The special election in that
county was to have been held in
October. The overwhelming dry
majority In Canyon county last week

on the action taken. They feel that
the excitement over the big dry
victory in Canyon county will quiet
down by the time the special cleo
