PROVING UP
Three Year Settlers Make Proof to
Avoid Possible Contest.


A number OF settlers on the
Richfield tract are starting to make
final proof on their claims. The
larger part of the land Is already
proved up, but there are q few,
mostly residents on the land, who
have preferred to defer proof until
the end of their three-year period.
This end is right now, as understood
from a recent decision of the su-
preme court, and rather than take
any chance for a contest that mi ght
cost them their farms all who have
held their lands three years or more
are starting to make proof. 1t is
quite certain that, even il a contest
did not actually win, it stands too
good a chance to do so---probably q
good two-to-one chancellor the
man who has worked hard on his
farm to afford to take any further
chance.
1t should be understood that this
urgency applies only to the lands OF
the Richfield and the South Good
ing tracts, where water was furnish
ed in 1909. 1t is perhaps undent-
able that the water supply of 1909

Judge Bulge has given decision
in the case recently tried before
him, in which suit was brought by
Frank Millsaps against the county
commissioners for allowing certain
bills for clerical assistance to the
auditor, for G. T. Massey for extra
work done above his salary as act
of the commissioners and the coun-
IL clerk to attend a meeting of the
commissioners from all over the
state at Boise.
TIE Judge holds that the employ
ment of the extra clerks by the as
SCISSOR is legal, and warranted both
by the necessities of the office and
by the stipulations agreed to by the
two sides to the controversy. He is
most explicit in this; showing how
the county has grown in wealth and
population, and necessarily in the
amount of work to be done by the
assessor. He accepts the commits
sioners' action in allowing the bills
In question, 1851 .65, as entirely le-
gal and as a public necessity.
Honors were even in the item for
expenses The bill
of s6525 was put into one charge
by Harry Anderson, clerk, and so
presented TO the board for payment.
If the Recorder understands the de-
cision Alright, it means that each in
dividual should have put in his own
bill. instead of allowing the clerk
to mako al together; had it been
done that way. it would not have
been out of the way The Judge
said that he found no law specifi-
cally allowing an appropriation for
such a purpose; but since the meet
ing was called by the governor, to
talk over the vital problems of tax
alton which arose last year, there
is the best of reason to suppose that
no commissioner in the state but
would have considered it a duty,
good investment for his county, and
as fully authorized under the gen

Idaho For Roosevelt
Almost Certain That State Delegation
Will Favor His Nomination.

So far as the Recorder has been
able to learn, in every comfy of the
state which has had a semblance of
a popular primary, Roosevelt has a
good lead in every county. In face
of red-hot fight, a fight that was
as vigorous as even the commission

asts defeated Taft in the Ada coun-
ty primaries and two days later in

was somewhat short; but to offset
this is the fact that legal water
notice was given, that water was
actually furnished, that while the
company paid a few damage suits
that year for shortage of water no
shortage was proved by those who
did not make proof or start suit for
damages, that a number of settlers
made proof through the whole sea-
son on the water furnished by the
company--and anybody who has
piece of land in this condition is
only taking very easy precaution
to save it.

Creamery May Come
Field Wide Open for Big Business, and
Good Men Now Investigating.

NJ. p. Johnson left this week for
Salt Lake, to try to complete ar
rangements for the building of a
big creamery here at Richfield, and
the securing of loan fund to pur-
chase COWS to start the institution.
The Johnsons, who live five miles
southwest of town, are of are real
live type of farmers. They will
have $50 cows to start with, and
near-at-home market for thee cream
is essential. They have dmonstrat-
ed that milk cows do extraordinarily
well here, and are going into the
business on a large scale. 1t is not
the enthusiasm of the tyro or the
mere booster that leads them into
the creamery field, but the knowl-
edge that conditions here are such
as to make it good business for
them as well as for all their neigh
bors.
A report was published outside.
a few days ago, that a big creamery
was to be built at the Johnson place.

1t has been figured that the trans

refused to interfere with the case of
Dr. c. J. Baugh, formerly of Rich

applied for a pardon, on the ground
that the confinement was injuring
his health. He had already served
the greater part of his sentence. A
petition was circulated here some
time ago, asking for his release,
and several signatures obtained. A
remonstrance was puut out, day or
two later, which seems to have been
effective, as the pardon board re-
fused to interfere.

ment was distinct victory for Oar
row.
The second count had to do with the
alleged attempt to bride George n.
Lockwood, who was drawn from the
jury Wheel but on whom summons to
appear in the case never had been
served.
After eliminating the first count
from consideration Judge Hutton out
lined the law bearing on the case. No
conviction, he said, could be voted on
the unsupported testimony of an ac-
complete. Such testimony must be
confirmed by other testimony which
in itself must connect the defendant
with the commission of the crime.
Even though the jury believed the
testimony of the accomplice, Judge
Hutton said, it must be dsregarded I'M
less there was sufficient other evil
dence to substantiate it. This part OF
the address to the jury referred to the
testimony Of Burt H. Franklin, the
man who was supposed to have hand
ed Lockwood the bride money.
Counsel for the defense had pointed
out that Franklin's story was not only
not corroborated, but was directly con-
tradicted by other witnesses.
The evidence in the case, the court
said, had clearly demonstrated that
Darrows previous character was good
and this should be regarded as sub
stsntive fact, tending to show the de-
PENDANTS innocense. Regarding the
mass of collateral evidence of the
commission of other alleged crimes the
jury was instructed that this evidence
should be disregarded only so far as
it went to show whether or not the
crime charged was of a general plan
or system.
