SETTLERS CONFER
WITH GOV. BRADY
Governor Brady Makes His Position
Clear In Regard TO
the Price Of
Water

Some dozen or more citizens met
Ex-Governor Brady yesterday fore
noon At the office Of the Co-opera-
tive Irrigation Company and discussed
the water situation and adjourned to
meet at the same place at 2:30 p. IN.
Meantime there was meeting at
Attorney Watts office at which Mr..
Watts was chosen as spokesman for
the citizens to present their views to
Mr.. Brady at the $3.50 meeting.
Mr. Brady opened the meeting by
giving synopsis OF the work done,
together with the cost and amount
Of water sold, explaining that he had
ALREADY spent $4,000, and that the
system was now In condition to
bond and carry to completion II 1t
was the desire OF the people, or he
could stop with the 1000 acres for
which water was available until such
time In the future as the people
were satisfied by actual demonstra-
lion what 1t would cost to bring the
remaining amount Of water available
from the watersheds down. which he
put at from 1000 to 10000 acres
feet.
There was a tentative proposition on
the Governors part to bond and COM
pete the system. charging $S6 per
acre for the water.
Mr.. Watts suggestion was $500
per acre and on the hypothesis that
the other conditions would undoubt-
edly be acceptable to the bonding
company, the only difference between
the two propositions was q matter OF
$1O.00per acre on the proposed cost
Of water. The Governor maintained
that ten dollars per acre on the fin
al cost Of water was q mere bagatel,
as compared to waiting from one to
three years to demonstrate whether
it could be brought down for $500
per acre.
He also informed those present
that the hearing on the application
they had presented to the State Land
Board to permit the sale OF b,OOO
more acres Of water had, at their
request been postponed with the fur
ther agreement to notify Attorney
Mclaughlin five days before any
further action would be taken, II any
at all.
The 2;3O meeting was attend
ed by about thirty representative ciu-
zens and before leaving a motion was
put and carried to hold meeting at
the Court House next Monday after
noon at 1880 O'Clock. This meeting
should be well attended as IT looks
as though the ideas OF the company
and the citizens were very near TO
gether-nearer than at any time prior
and that It only needs thorough un-
derstanding of the situation 10 m
sure absolute harmony.

BABIES IN SHOW RING
Stock Show VIII introduce a Section
In Eugenics

scientist declared In a public lecture
that more progress was being made in
the development of hogs than Of hui
mans. This statement was heralded
far and wide by the press, and while
it was easy to prove that much
improvement had been made in the
development of hogs, and there is no
data at hand to show whether any
improvement has been made in the
development of the human race or not
In order to secure some data in
this direction, the National Western
Stock Show has decided this year to
introduce in the show a Department
of Eugenics. The term "Eugenics
is modern word and means better
breeding of humans. The Stock Show
Association will include in this Sec
ton of the show an exhibit of charts
showing the Mendelian Law of Her
edity, a child's welfare exhibit and a
child's health exhibit. The latter de.
partment is in fact a Baby Show, but
not the old-style Baby Show, where
the best looking and happiest baby
carried off the prize but a ocmpeti-
ton where the babies will be judged
for physical perfection. There will be
three divisions in this contest: One
for babies from the country, which
includes towns UP to 1000 population
another division for cities of 1000 to
10000 population, and the other for
babies from cities over 10000 popula
ton. The babies entered in this con
test will be first examined by corps
of women physicians and will be
scored to the standard recently adopt
ed, and on Friday of Show Week
hey will all be gathered in the
Stock Show in the ring, when the
Judging will take place.
In order to give the babies all over
the country an opportunity to com
pete, it is planned to hold local con
tests in various sections of the
State, and send the winners to Den
yer to compete in the big contest.
1t is expected that some very val
liable data will be secured from this
contest and it is intended to hold
similar contests in other parts oil
the country, and eventually par
ents will be able to know what con
stitutes a standard in the develop
ment of their children, and if any
child is below standard in any por
ton of it's body steps can be tax
en- while it is still young to properly
develop it.
1t is believed that this feature o1
the big Stock Show will be Of very
great interest and like all other fea
lures of the show Is intended to be
educational in it's effect.
DR.. Mary Elizabeth Bates of Den
yer will be Superintendent of the
section, and Mrs. Mary e. Watts oi
Audubon, Ia, who was instrumental
in starting this contest in the east
has promised to come to Denver
and assist in the Denver show. The
Mothers Congress OF Colorado, tht
Women's Club, and other organiza
lions, are interested in this feature
and it is intended to make 1t O
great practical interest.

ENGINEER FILES
REPORT TO STATE
Application Of Mountain Home Coop
erative Irrigation Company
to Increase Acreage
before Board

The Mountain Home Cooperative
Irrigation company has filed an appli-
cation with the state land board to
serve water rights to serve 5000
acres in addition to the 1000 acres
already sold by the company, and the
board will give its attention to the
matter tomorrow. State Engineer
Robinson has filed report with the
governor and the board relative to
the proposal. The report is as fol-
lows:
"To the Honorable, the State Board
of Land Commissioners.
Boise, Idaho.
Gentlemen: Relative to the re-
quest which has recently been pre-
sented to me for a report relative to
the feasibility of selling water rights
to serve 5000 acres in addition to the
1000 acres already sold by the above
company, beg to render the follow
ing report
Conclusion The capacity Of the
works, as constructed, as shown by
the field notes and canal elements
submitted to me, indicates that the
main supply system has sufficient ca
pacity to deliver two acre-feet to the
acre to 1000 acres of land, and the
water supply, believe, to be ade-
uuate. The contract specifies the de-
livery of two acre-feet to the acre,
and the duty of water Investigations
in this state indicate that, on first
class soil, two acre-feet to the acre
will suffice. / do not consider less
than this amount to be sufficient on
any of the soils of this vicinity, but
believe, if properly used, 1t Will De
found to be sufficient to raise maxi
mum crops on, this land. l would rec
commend that this company be grant
ed the right to sell water rights to
5000 acres additional.
"The water supply for this pro-
iect is obtained from Little Camas
and Canyon creeks. The flood wat
er of Little Camas is stored IN the
Little Camas reservoir and In an
other reservoir on Long Tom creek.
The total capacity of these reser'
voirs is approximately 10000 acre
feet. The only data which l nave
available relative to the run-off OF
these streams is some data taken by
this office from March 10 to Aug
15 1896, which gives total run-off
in Little Camas creek OF approx
mately $4,000 acre-feet / have nc
records ON Canyon creek, but / am
confident that the water supply OF
these two streams will be sufficient
to irrigate the 1000 acres of land.
During the past six months, this
company has increased the height OF
the Little Camas creek dam from ~
to 46 feet; they have also, done con
siderable work in cleaning out and
improving the earth sections OF their
canals and improving their fumes.
note in checking over the field notes
that the capacities of some OF the
fumes limit the capacity of the en-
tire system, which causes quite re-
duction from the capacity which the
system would have, II the fumes
were of a size consistent with the
rest of the system. would recon-
mend, where this condition exists, the
company ultimately take steps to In
stall steel fumes, inorder to make
the capacity OF their distributing
system consistent throughout.
Respectfully submitted.
