Fire Fiend Again Visits Wendell

1t would seem that Mrs. Ralph Pitts,
of Wendell, is having more than her
share OF trouble and sorrow. About one
year ago her husband lost his life by
drowning in the Snake river, leaving
Mrs. Pitts to provide as best she could
for herself end children
With the money derived from an in
sarance policy which Mr.. Pitts carried,
the bereaved lady purchased home in
Wendell and arranged portion of the
house as laundry. She was soon
settled and busy in her new work when
her little boy suffered broken arm
The little fellow recovered this in time,
and the mother was getting very nicely
established, when on Tuesday of last
week her little three year old daughter
threw burning paper into the wood box
and the flames soon developed to such
dimensions that the house and all it con-
tanned was sood reduced to ashes
The only article saved was a purse
containing Il sum OF money, which Il
friend saved from the flames.
The whole-soulcd people OF Wendell
and Hagerman, who have known and
sympathized with this worthy lady
in her unequal struggle to make home
for herself and children, have organized
To rebuild and refurnsh her home That
they will accomplish this is not douhted
for they are part OF the citizens OF
Southern Idaho who accomplish what
they set ont to to do.

HARVARD BEATS YALE IN
ANNUAL FOOTBALL GAME

(BY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONSl
NEW HAVEN, Nov. pa great
| crowd poured into the city early for
| the Harvard-Yale game. Wagering
was brisk among the outsiders, one
cafe bookmaker placing $4,000 on
Harvard with odds Of 10 to 9. Five to
prevails among the students. Both
| teams are reported by trainers in a
satisfactory condition.
Outclassed, but fighting to the last
ditch, Yale succumbed to Harvard -
to 0. The play was featured by punt :
ing duels between FELTON, of Harvard
and Finn of Yale.
The attendance was $4,000.
In the first period line plunges
scored for Harvard. Storer made a
touchdown, Hardwick goaled and q
punting duel followed. Brickley and
Wandell bucked TO Yale's 3O-yard line,
where Brickley dropkicked the goal.
The first quarter stood: Harvard 10
Yale 0. In the second a kicking duel
continued. Wendell, Brickley and
Storer tore great holes in the bucks.
Quarter Back Wheeler's fumbles cost
Yale the ball twice and Finn re

ing. The half ended with no further
score. In the third quarter Finn fun

STABILITY OF WATER SUPPLY AND OF
CHARGES MOST FIRMLY ESTABLISHED

Much interest centers on the forth
coming decision to be rendered by
Judge Bordwell in the Los Angeles su-
perior court soon concerning the
validity of the claims of several parties
against the California Development
company, because it is felt that on the
result of that decision will, in large
part, rest the question of the price the
Imperial irrigation district will be re-
CURED to pay for the plant when it is
taken over
There are two decisions rendered BY
the state supreme court recently which
have gone far to put the affairs of the
valley in definite form. One of these
was in the Thayer case, in which the
validity of the water stock of the val
ley was confirmed. This decision left
open to question the right of water
companies to condemn land needed for
construction Of canals.
A few days later there was another
decision in which the right to condemn
land, or the right of eminent domain,
was declared to be vested in the use
of water for irrigation purposes
The two rulings have apparently put
beyond question two mooted issues,
confirming the stability of water stock
and giving to water companies the
power of overcoming obstacles in ex-
tending their systems.
The statement Is being made that
Imperial Valley press., 1912-11-23

the California Development company Is
given absolute power to charge for the
use of water any price 1t may deter
mine on. Why any person of half COM
mon sense should put forth such an
idea passes understanding. There are
two factors operating against such IN
idea In the first place the CaliforniS
Development company is under per
petual contract to furnish the water
to existing mutual companies at SO
cents an acre foot. In the second place,
the state railroad commission has pow
er to thoroughly investigate the water
companies and limit the price of water
to that point which gives fair interes.
on the investment.
The validity of the contracts is be
yond question, and for the newcomer.
on new land there remains the power
of the state behind the water rates.
1t would be just as sensible for a per
son to declare that in a large city
gas company could charge anything IL
saw fit. 1t can do nothing of the kind
and for the same reason the California
Development company cannot, and the
person who throws out an intimation
that such thing is possible is a pub
lie enemy.

II have just returned here from the

tillery duel and now the Bulgarians
are in retreat Tuesday abandoning all
the advanced positions they captured
at 1 o'clock Monday morning.
This move has taken the Turkish
army completely by surprise, for
three days past they have been ex-
pecting a decisive assault on the main
line between Hademkeni and Jasoren.
To meet this expected attack they
brought up all the reserves, but even
then they were not confident of be-

made preparations for a general retire

What is the reason for this sud
den abandonment Of the offensive by
the Bulgarians? No one can answer
least of all the Turk, who can only
say In shar God knows).
The effect of the retirement of the
Bulgarians on the Turkish troops has
been magical. They passed from al
most excessive gloom to equally ex-
