ENDORSED BY BRYAN.

In his speech at Idaho Falls William
]. Bryan endorsed the actions Of the
Idaho delegation at Baltimore in the
following forceful manner:
Now the same group of Wall street
financlers that sent one bunch of at
torneys to Chicago, sent another bunch
to Baltimore, but that is where the
likeness ends. They tried to do at Bal
timore what they did at Chicago, but
Mr.. Roosevelt ought to know the diff
ference between trying and doing.
For, while they tried at Baltimore they
were routed at Baltimore. At Chicago
New York's delegation dictated the
nomination and the platform. At Bal!
timore New York's support of a candi-
date was a detriment to him and not
an advantage. At Chicago the Wall
street crowd had undisputed possession,
but at Baltimore resolution was
passed by a vote of SS6 to 1876. a vote
of four to one. declaring that J. Pier
pont Morgan, Mr.. Thomas r. Ryan, Mr..
August Belmont, and those of their
favor seeking, privilege hunting class
should not select the president of the
United States. (Applause) And I
want to congratulate Idaho on the
stand her delegates took against Wall
street on every question. (Great ap-
plause)."

COURT 'Aff|RMS
JUDGE WALTERS
Decision Is Handed Down
in Case Involving Ben
nett Greek Water.

The supreme court yesterday at
firmed Judge Edward A. Walters Of
the district court for Gilmore county
through an opinion handed down late
yesterday in the case of Adm M. Hall
versus William A. Blackman, an en-
Joining action involving water in Ben
nett creek, Gilmore county, for irriga-
tion purposes. The injunction was
prayed for by Hall to be directed
against Blackman who had been de-
creed he water in the stream by the
district court which .h'cr denied the
J rayer and Hall appealed to the SUI
preme court.
The opinion is written by Justice
Sullivan and is concurred in by Chief
Justice Stewart and Justice Ailshie.
"The lands owned by Blackman and
his neighbOr, Wilson. succeeded 10
them through the Ethel Brothers," says
Justice Sullivan in part in the higher
courts opinion THE Ethel brothers
located said lands and appropriated
water therefor in 1872, and the title to
said lands was thereafter procured
from the government. The Ethels d.
verified $50 inches of water from Ben
nett creek just above their ranch
through a ditch known as the '1SI.
ditcn.' In 1875 they constructed an
other ditch, known as the 1876 ditch.
1.-The Ethel brothers held said lands
and water rights in common and in
creased the acreage under cultivation
from year TO year until 1885, when
they divided up their lands and water
right between them. The 1875 ditch
covered the lands east OF a slough run
ming through said lands and the 1872
ditch was intended to cover the lands
lying west of the slough.
after the Ethcls had divided their
holdings. Dave Ethel. in 1886, in con-
nection with his brother George. and
one Cy Doom, constructed another
ditch, taking it out of said creek at or
close to the head of the 1872 ditch.
through which George Ethel and Cy
Doom appropriated ia inches of water.
1t was apparently a nighttime ditch,
or at least was intended to cover more
land than did the 1872 ditch. In 1879
Hall appropriated $50 inches Of water,
which he took out Of the creek at a
point below the land of Blackman,

AN INDEPENDENT VIEW.

AN INDEPENDENT VIEW.
The independent Lewiston Tribune
thus voices it's sentiments as to the
candidacy of Governor Hawley for re-
election:
With due allowance for mistakes,
failures and differences Of opinion, all
Democrats can continue to give Gov
ernor Hawley warm and honest sup
port. and persons Of Independent or
light party leanings can also do SO, be-
cause. for one thing, of the confidence
felt In the governor on all sides for his
probity Of mind. openness Of character
and diligence in the peoples business.
The state has never had an administra-
ton of more singleness of purpose and
of less selfshness than that being given
by Governor Hawley, a. far as can be
seen. II more has not been done 1t is
undoubtedly because. to q large extent.
there has been 80 much to do that one
mans powers could not cover all the
ground OF this great and diversified
state. The legislature has given little
or no help toward the development Of
any Of its problems. but has contented
itself mainly with passing huge appro-
prlation bills, with undoing and doing
over the statutory code year after year,
with Tuning and fussing over other
peoples morals and manners. leaving
, to the executive Office the costly re-
suits Of its extravaganza and puerili-
ties. We would not put all the blame
on the legislature for the fact of the
states overgrown official burdens and
undergrown material status, but we
would put fair share there and fair
! share To nhiof oe;c Tn, hic
instance, however, the chief magistracy
has long record of otherwise accept
able service to its credit that Is GER
tainly quite enough to offset the fall
ures complained of, If failures they be,
and incomparably so beside the sort
of service, or lack of it. previously at
tached to that department.
In other words, as The Tribune sees
it, the state will continue to be in safe.
honorable and Industrious hands under
Governor Hawley. and that is great
deal. Under any other execution there
would still be mistakes, failures and
differences OF opinion, and perhaps
something not so creditable. With a
capable legislature to work with, or
even with the usual legislature and
with Governor Hawleys present famil-
iarity with state affairs as a guide and
a check, vastly better results should
be secured in the coming biennium
than In the current one. In fact, with
the governors experience in the state
house now acquired. his influence over
legislation and in behalf of pressing
matters Of state should be of inesti-
mable value to the commonwealth, In
1 most substantial directions. Quite
apart from craftsmanship or other ia =
voritisms, the state has tower of
strength in Governor HawIey's per-
sonality and prestige and so has the
| Democratic party, regardless of spe-
cial instances of disappointment. when
compared with great merit and eff
cheney of the administration now on
public trial.

'ln Bennett creek, between the head
of the 1872 ditch and the head of the
1876 ditch there are some springs
which flow about 60 inches of water,
which water Hall contends belongs to
him and should be permitted to flow
down said creek past the head of the
1876 ditch and down to the head of his
1879 ditch. The Ethels constructed
their first ditch in 1872 and their sec
ond ditch lower down the creek In 1876,
and it is the 1876 ditch and water di-
verified through 1t that Is involved in
this case.
Hall constructed his ditch in 1879.
taking water from said creek below
the Ethel 1876 ditch. The Ethels did
not make a new appropriation of water
in 1876, but simply changed the poia,
of diversion of part of the water than
had already been appropriated by them
in 1872 and this change was made
prior to the time that Hall constructed
his ditch in 1879.
Thus when Hall first came upon
Bennett creek. he found the Etheis
using both the '72 and 20 bitches in
conveying water to their land and the
records show that they and their sue
cessors in interest have continued to
use these bitches ever since for the
irrigation of said lands.
"As the change Of the point OF di
version of a part OF the water that
had been appropriated by the Ethels
was made prior to the appropriation
made by Hall. he could not have been
injured thereby for the very reason he
had no rights on said creek at the time
said change was made"
