BIG IRRIGATION PROJECT.
Will Include About One.third of Can.
yOn Co. in Western Part of State.

Seven million dollars in irrigation
bonds have. just been voted by the
Black Canyon irrigation district, or
ganized under the state laws of Idaho,
to finance the construction of an irri-
cation project to reclaim 100, 900 acres
of rich land located in western Idaho,
bordering on the Snake river and the
Oregon line. The district is the larg-
est in this state under the district law,
and the project for the irrigation of
the land will be one of the most ex-
pensive. The area included within it's
boundary lines is about one-third of
Canyon county. When the bonds were
voted, the settlers were almost unani-
nous for the issue, but two voting
against it.
Construction work on the project
will Immediately be taken up, includ-
ing the survey and preliminary engi-
neering work. The checking of the
land to ascertain the amount that is
patented is now in progress. The bond
issue will be Immediately tested to as
sure its legality, after which it will
be disposed OF to large eastern bond
ing house prepared to handle it.
The irrigation plans for the storage
Of water to irrigate this large area call
for the construction of big dam on
the main Payette river, three miles
north of Horseshoe Bend, at cost of
several hundred thousands of dollars.
The water impounded by the dam will
be backed into the canyon of the river
for many miles, forming big reser-
voir, and will flood bench lands locat-
ed in what is known as Jerusalem val
ley, creating a great inland lake.
A main deverting canal will tap this
reservoir and carry the water a dis
lance of twenty miles to the north end
OF the 100,000-acre tract of land, where
1t will pass into smaller canals and

AlPHAS PROPERTY TIED UP.
Option on Property Held by Boise
Parties Taken by Salt Lake Men.

Edward Benane and Thomas Beadle,
Two of the big operators in the jar
sbidge camp, have just arrived in the
scity, and are stopping at the Hotel
Utah. They will hold several confer
ssnces with local mining men who have
become interested in properties, in that
district in the past three months Ben
'ane and Beadle say that the camp has
experienced some severe winter wealth
eer. and that there is lot of snow
making it difficult to get around.
Underground work has not been re-
farded by these conditions, especially
IN the Buster and Success properties,
which are being developed by George
Wingfield He has about fifty men
employed and within the next thirty
feet they should get into the ore in
the lower tunnel of the Buster group.
This will give them a depth of APP
proximately $50 feet on the vein, and
the finding of ore at this depth will
give ample assurance of permanent
pay ore deposits. A considerable
amount of ore has recently been open
ed up in both these properties and
Wingfield is showing his confidence
An the estate by a recent payment of
$685. 900 on his bond on the Success
sgroup.
The option on the Alphas, held by
Boise people, expired few days ago,
land Benane and Beadle promptly tied
Mp this property for Salt Lake inter-
sests- They have small force of men
now working on the property and will
arrange for some financing to deter
mine as quickly as possible it's merit.
Some high grade ore has been found at
n short distance from the surface, and
lit Us proposed now that they work it
systematically for at least six months,
and at the expiration of this time they
believe they can determine the extent,
10 large degree, of the deposit.
The finding of high grade ore in the
open cut on the Swastika property is
considered of much Importance This

SEVERE BLOW TO RAILROADS
Commerce Commission Strengthened
by Decisions.

Washington, Jan. 10.-The grip OF
the interstate commerce commission
over the commerce OF the country was
frightened yesterday by series of de-
clslons by the suprem court.
The principle was laid down that
shippers suffering civil injustices from
railroads must go to the commission
before rushing to the courts for relief
The paramount authority of the COM
mission in reasonable rate making
upheld by the courts decision that
the federal district court of Minnesota
was wrong in preventing the enforce
ment of the commissions reduced
rates on lumber from the Pacific coast
Oregon and Montana points to ST
Paul, Omaha and Chicago
The legislative field touching the ac-
ceptance of goods by railroads for in
ter-state shipment was marked forever
as federal territory and states were
warned to keep off.
The supremacy over that laws of
similar import over the federal hours
of service law" the enforcement of
which is confined to the commission,
was upheld.
The court laid down the principle
that railroad dividends were not to be
a sole basis for judging the reason
ableness of rates, but that conditions
as whole were to be taken into con-
sideration.
Much attention was attached to JUS
tice McKenna's opinion annulling the
North Carolina law, which required
railroads to receive goods for inter-
state transportation whether they had
published rates for the proposed ship
ment or not. Justice McKenna refer
red to the interstate commerce laws
which forbade railroads to engage"
in transportation of goods until they
had a fixed, published rate.
IF the carrier obeys the state law,
he incurs the penalty of the federal
law" the justice said. eff he obeys
the federal law, he incurs the penalty
of the state law. Manifestly one au-
thority must be paramount, and when
it speaks the other must be silent"
He silented the state law

force opening up portions of the terri
tory that carries promising ledge.
Despite the weather, the road be-
tween the camp and Twin Falls has
been kept open. At times it is diff
cult to get into that country, but those
who are prepared to face the storms
have made 1t without any great
amount of hardship. Every one is
holding his ground and considerable
money is going into development work
About 200 men are employed in under
ground work in the camp-Salt Lake

4 Toast

Here is toast that want to drink to
fellow I'll never know
To the fellow who's going to take my
place when it's time for me to 60.
I've wondered what kind Of chap he'll
be and I've wished l could take his
hand,
Just to whisper, 81 wish you well, old
man," in way he'd understand.
I'd like to give him a word Of cheer
that I've longed at times to hear;
I'd like to give him warm handclasp
when never friend seems near.
I've learned my knowledge by sheer
hard work, and I wish could pass
it on
To the fellow who'll come to take my
place some day when am gone.

made and note all the battles lost!
Will he ever guess Of the tears they
caused or heartaches which they
cost?
Will he gaze thro the failures and fruit
less toll to the underlying plan.
And catch glimpse of the real intent
and the heal. of the vsnquished
man?
I dare to hope he may pause some day
as he tolls as I have wrought.
And gain some strength for his weary
task from the battles which, have
fought.
But have only the task itself to leave
with the cares for him to face.
And never cheering word may spesk
to the fellow who'll take my place.
Then here's to your health, cd chap; 1
drink as bridegroom to his bride;
I leave an unfinished task for you, but
God knows how l have tried.
I've dreamed my dreams rs all men do,
but never one came true,
And my prayer today is that all the
dreams may be realized by you.
And we'll meet some day in the great
unknown-out in the realms Of
space
You'll know my clasp as I take your
hand and gaze in your tired face.
Then all our failures will be success in
the light of the new-found dawn
So I'm drinking your health, lold chap,
who'll take my place when I'm
gone. Selected.
