COUNTY SEAT
ASPIRATIONS
f. H. Dewey Will Try to Have
County Seat of Boise County
Moved to Alontou.

According to rumors that seem
to have good foundation, Mon
tour, E. Fl. Dewey's new town on
the old Marsh & Ireton ranch II
miles east of Emmett, has aspira.
tions to become the capital of Boise
county. The election is to be
hello this year.
The present county seat of Boise
county is Idaho City, where it was
located when that county was first
organized. Many attempts have
been made to move it, but without
success. Mr.. Dewey, it is claimed,
will put up a hard fight to change
it to his townsite at Montour. The
extension of the Idaho Northern
through that town to the Payette
lakes will make Montour accessible
by rail to the greater portion of
the county, and it is probable the
SQuaw Greek country will favor the
proposed location. The only pos
sible rival is Horseshoe Bend,
which will have railroad facilities
equal to Montour. Several years
ago the Bend endeavored to wrest
the county seat from Idaho City
and was defeated by a small mar
gin. A two-thirds vote is necessary
to move a county seat and is a
handicap hard to overcome.

Fruit Association Combine.

The Northwestern Fruit Exchange
which the Emmett Fruit Grow
ers' Association is a member. has
combined with the North American
Fruit Exchange in order to facilit-
ate the marketing of its products
and economic in their distribution.
The season for Northwestern fruits
is limited, whereas oranges and
bananas go to the market nearly
every month in the year. By
bringing together as many of these
shippers as possible, with dove
failing seasons and non-competitive
fruits to market, system of brancl
offices covering the entire country
may be maintained. That is the
object of the two exchanges unit
ing forces.

Drainage Engineer Here.

Mr.. A. J. Lilly, of Britt, Iowa
who is a drainage engineer for one
of the largest projects in Iowa, has
been here for two weeks looking
over the alkalied lands, with an
idea of purchasing outright and
reclaiming them by large canals. He
represents the Interstate Drainage
and Investment company of Britt
Iowa, who are practical ditchers on
a large scale. His company has
operated in many states but most
of their work has been in Iowa,
Minnesota and Texas.
They have sbeen looking into the
drainage matter of this valley for
the past two years and are now
gathering accurate data regarding
the Nampa and Emmett wet lands.
Mr.. Lilly thinks the drainage OF
these low lands is entirely feasible
and if the districts organize for
the purpose of drainage,s his com
pany will be a bidder on the work.
Mr.. Lilly also has other plans along
this line that may work for the
betterment of the conditions in
the alkalied lands especially, and
it is probable that other officers Of
his company will be on the grount
soon to go into the matter more
carefully after going over his re-
port. This concern is one of the
largest manufacturers of tile and
cement blocks in northern Iowa
and a plant of thhis kind is under
contemplation here if our districts
go after the drainage of lands seri-
ously.-Nampa Leader-Herald.

PUSHING WORK ON CANAL
Large Force of Men and Teams
Getting Ditch in shape

The first payment of $4,000 on
the million dollar bonds of the EN-
nett Irrigation District was re-
ceiyed Saturday, and most of il
has been paid out to take up out
standing warrants. Another pay-
ment of $4,000 is due this month
and $4,000 every 80 days until
all is received. This has put
new life into the district and the
officers as well as the water users
are entering into the work of putt
ing the canal in condition for the
irrigation season with enthusiasm
1t is estimated that more than 100
men and nearly as many teams are
engaged in the work. On the cut
below the canyon there are 45
men and teams. Four other ca
men and teams, Four other camps
have been established-at Black
canyon, at the tunnel, where 'Har-
ry Lane is foreman, at Plowman's
and at the dam. At the cut Con-
tractor Hamilton of the railroad
work, has placed 10 teams and

THINKS HE HAS GOOD COAL
David NJ. John Files on Land
Near Emmett for Exploration

David NJ. John believes that
he has found coal Investigations
he has made ON land not far from
Emmett lead him to think that coal
is to be had in paying quantities.
Yesterday he filed what is known
as a "coal declaratory statement
which gives him a year to find out
whether coal actually exists there
or not
In the statement, he included the
land described as the SE4 of
section 81, township north, range
l east, amounting TO 160 acres. He
has found several feet of coal but
what has so far been unearthed is
of the Ignite variety and is not
highly valuable. He hopes to find
a better grade later and TO make
something out of the mine that he
has found.
Under the law, the making Q
this declaration holds the land
for him for a period of one year,
giving him time TO thoroughly in
vestigate the resources that he
may think the ground contains. The
inquiry into the value of the co
and into the prospects for bet
ter grade at a lower depth will b,
prosecuted at once.-Statesman

filed upon is located in the hills

IDAHO NORTHERN TO
THE LAKES
Contract Given to the Utah
Construction Co. for Long
Valley Extension

That no time is to be lost II
extending the Idaho Northern rail
way through Long Valley to Pay
cite lakes is evidenced by the a
warding of a contract for the
construction OF the road from Smith
Ferry to the Lakes 10 the Utah
Construction company.
The distance from Smiths Ferry
to the Lakes, following the sur
vey, is AZ miles. From the Ferry
TO the north end of the upper
canyon, a distance of eight or nine
miles, the work is heavy and diff
ficult and will be expensive, much
of it being through rock. From
the canyon to the lakes, the work
will be nearly all in dirt and com :
paratiyely easy. The right of way
has all been secured and the con-
struction work will be rushed with
all possible haste. Very little OF
it can be done, however, until af-
ter the first of May, on account
of the snow, which is deeper this
year than usual.
The contract for the first eight
miles of this new work, covering
the canyon mentioned, has been
sub-let to the Wasatch Construc-
ton company, with Thomas Nc
Cree in charge.
The route selected through Long
Valley will play hob with many
of the towns in the upper end.
1t will touch neither VanWyck.
Thunder City or Crawford. Accord
ing to Fred Logue, the Thunder
City merchant who was in town
Saturday, efforts are being made
to unite upon site and move all
three towns to that point, max
ing one good town instead of three
small ones. Mr.. Logue says the
chances are good that this resu
will be accomplished.
