have to own land-but it takes two
thirds of the votes to carry the cleo

That the district is face to face
with a desperate condition because of
the memorable approach of the water,
slowly making of the richest, most
fertile lands of the west, mere worth
less swamp lands-is admitted by all
Today SO per cent of the. district is
listed as swamp land. l,500 acres are
utterly worthless. The condition is
steadily growing worse. As the area
of swamp land grows. the pro rata OF
the bond issues falls with increasing
heaviness upon the remaining land.
There is a limit beyond which this
burden cannot be borne.
The government proposes to build

$35e,OOO.0O. to be paid in ten annual
installments, the first not due until
one year after the main part of the
system be complete and the entire
sum of money has been spent. BY
this method the district will bear no
interest charges, either before or after

The second proposition of the gov
eminent is to sell the district share
of the food waters of the Arrowfock
dam, so that the district may be as
sured of all the water needed at any
time.
The principal reason for the second
proposition is that the people of the
district feel injured at being charged
with their proportionate share of the
Payette- Boise project-$56.00 per acre
after being allowed $l4.0O for work
done. This is undoubtedly hard
ship. The government now proposes
to charge $1,000 per acre for the drain

of few cents over $1,000 per acre in
addition to the cost of building the

When a man makes any kind of
success. however small, he finds that
his friends resolve themselves into
three classes. The first class turn
sullen and show their envy in many
mean ways. The second class wax
more friendly than ever and come
showering their intentions. The third
class show reasonable pleasure at
your success and remain just as they
were before. God bless the last kind!

THOSE GOOD OLD DESSERTS
OF THE BY-GONE DAYS.

In the good old days, when life
was simple and sincere, when the
people were happier than now and
didn't make 50 much money, when
society was friendship and home was
love, there were two stated and pop
ular desserts at all parties and par
ticularly dinner occasions. and they
were floats and tarts.
That floatl There was never any
thing to compare with it before or
since. Those white, snowy islands
floating on . golden food were a
dream just imported from Elysium.
1t was almost profane to taste it. so
like vision of eternal happiness it
seemed. But we did taste it, and the
luxury of it skipped past the palate
and melted into the mind, where it
inspired thoughts of the loneliness OF
life.
And those tarts!-Little, crisp, and
white shells filled with jelly and jam
or preserves of some kind. My, what
gems of joy they were! We remem-
Der particularly the jellied tarts. They
were winsome little desserts, as SIM
pie and modest as lilies of the valley
and sometimes we thought they were
related. They were so modest. and
and pure. Oh, the sad day when they
were supplanted by ices, meringues,
crackers and rotten cheese. No won

DEMOCRATS DEMoRAL1zED.

There are three things that have
occurred recently that have worked
to the complete generalization of the
rank and file of the Democrats in this
county. ~
First may be cited the dirty tactics
employed by The News in making un-
founded charges of dishonesty against
our county officials. They have now
employed the tax league to continue
their attack against Mr.. Christopher,
an absolutely efficient officer OF un-
doubted integrity. Mr.. F. E. Parks.
the advance agent" of the league. has
been spreading charges so false as
to arouse indignation in the minds of
all who have been interested enough
to seek the truth. Mr.. Parks has
openly charged in an attempt to show
some semblanee of support to his cry
of fraud that Mr.. Christopher has as
sessed the ground upon which the
Saratoga hotel stands at only 100000
and the building at 100000. 1t is a
matter of record that all may see tina,
the ground is assessed at 100000
and the building at $8,5OO.O0 But
space would not permit The Tribune
to enumerate all of the dirty charges
that have found their birth in the i'm
aginations of some of the men that
are endeavoring to add to the general
perplexity of the conscientious voter
in Canyon County. in the hope that
the vote may be drawn away from
the Republican party.
| The second cause of dissatisfaction
is the knowledge that the state demo-
cratic committee is back of the Bull
Moose organization, as evidenced by
the letter of Geo. f. Hill, secretary OF
the Democratic State Central Com
mittee, which appears elsewhere IN
this issue of The Tribune. When the
motive of The Capital News became
known, all fair-minded men naturally
resented tncT IHctuouS. Lie ldC'
that Dubois is still the ruling spirit

to the hands of the enemy.
But the chief reason may be found
in the candidates for the legislature

openly for county division and the
Democratic candidates pledged &c
support such division, the last straw
was added to load already too much

Big WRESTLING MATCH
Chris Person to Meet Otto Anderson of
Lowell, Mass, mt the Prize
Hall Dec. 30.

Promoter Fred Heffner has arranged
a wrestling match between Chris Hef-
ner of this city and Otto Anderson, or
Lowell Mass. and it will take place on
Monday evening, Dec. 80 in the Pirie
hall. Each of the men has challenged
Henry Ordeman of Minneapolis. while
Person will also meet Jess Westergard
here some time during the winter The
match should be a good one and draw
a good sized crowd. There will be two
good boxing prellminaries and these
will start at $50, just as the former
match in which Person and Johnson
appeared. Mr.. Heffner believes there
are a sufficient number of sport fans
in the city who will attend events at a
reasonable hour and he will start this
contest at $3.50 sharp, so that all who
intend to go should be in their seats at
hour. There will be no long waits,
but the different events will move right
along and in good order and the entire
show should be concluded at or shortly
after IL o'clock.

ENGLISH BOXERS
HAVE No GINGER
AMERICAN BOYS ARE MUCH MORE
ENERGETIC THAN THEIR COUS-
ms AND RIVAL FROM ACROSS
THE OCEAN AND SOME ILLUSTRA-
TIONS ARE GIVEN THE PUBLIC.

American boxers are more energetic
than their rival from across the big
pond. They hav more ginger. Such
are the conclusions drawn by Jimmy
Johnson, who acts as business agent
for practically all the pugilists that
Britain ships to this country. Johnson
notes a vast difference in the tempera-
ment of English and American duel
lists.
Americans are rough and ready.
When told they are matched to fight
they ask no questions but go ahead and
train. They will take a bout on the
shortest kind of notice and go in the
ring feeling they are going to knock
the surfing out of the opposition.
Think English fighters would do
that? No-o-o. The first thing most
of them say to you upon being advised
OF a match is: Well, / can hardly take
1t, y'know. I'm not feeling we'll. 1t
Will require some time for me to get
into proper condition.
You nave to pamper them to get re-
suits: They look upon their boxing as
world. and to do themselves justice
they get an idea into their heads that
they are not conditioned, as they just
think they should be, or If the environ
ment is not suitable, they can not put
up their fight.
They bother about weights and
trivial matters that would not cause an
American a moments thought. And you
can't change their style. If they
bring over notions that came down to
them from some pugilist who used to
slug a thousand years or so ago, it's
like tearing down a mountain to make
them forget.
Encouragement doesn't seem to helm
them much. If. after a fight in which
they have done excellent work, you ex-
tend your congratulations III general
reply is:

him under any conditions. Driscoll used
generally to put in from six to ter

Will ANNOUNCE DATE
The Jack Beach and Leo kOssAck Con-
test Will Likely Take Place on
Evening of Dec. ~.

While the date has not yet been fixed
it is believed that the date for the
Kossick-Beach contest will be Dec. 81,
and when the two boys meet for fifteen
rounds a fine entertainment may be
expected. Kossick is always in the best
of condition and Beach who has long
been wanting to take d crack at the
local boy writes that he is in fine
shape. Kossick hopes to meet Billy
Morris in this city in the near future
and after that he will go to Canada
where he has several contests, some of
them with topnotchers. He expected to
leave for the dominion some time
about the middle of January, and dur
ing that month of February will likely
be lined up with Labe Safro in Min
neapolis, as there seems to be a dis
position among the fans of that section
to see the two in action. Kossick had
all the better of Safro the two times
they did meet and unless the Minnea-
polls man has greatly improved or is
over weight he should be able to put a
stop to him again.
