and successfully observed in Cald-
we'll Thursday and Friday and Satur-
day of last week, the merchants show
ing fine public spirit i'll their willing
ness to decorate their stores by dis
playing goods manufactured in Idaho.
Each display is worthy of special men,
ton. Much of the success of the ex-
hibition was due to the Idaho Railway,
Light and Power CO.., for the gener
Gus loan of their beautiful building
and electric appliance, to the Forward
club ladies for the main display and
demonstration of the exhibits. Among
the local products were fine assorted
candies from the Colonial; bakery

ers; rubber stamped goods display by
Mrs. c. J. Shorb; brooms and grape

Meanwhile apple butter and jelly,
Davidson coffee, roasted and packed
in Boise; New Plymouth cheese and

creamed peas, hot biscuit, apple but
ter, apple jelly. apple pie. cheese and

the district. By doing this the esti
mated cost of the main canal, includ-
ing the diversion dam and the syphon
across the Payette river, will be ma
terially reduced Nearly FIVE and one
half millions was thought necessary
for this work alone, while the COM
pleted project under the plans in con-
temptation at the present will cost
about $5,598,4o8.62 The cost of the
diversion dam is cut in about half,
and the big syphon across the Payette
river will be done away with entirely
saving some $ll6,0OO00 on the lat
ter item.
The Idaho Consolidated Power &
Utilities Co. are about to build an
immense power dam in the Black
Canyon. They have asked permission
of the district to raise the dam some
rs feet, which will make use of some
food lands belonging to the district,
through courtesy Of. the U. S. R. S.
This will enable the district to divert
its waters above the dam, should it
wish so to do. and make use Of the
original pumping plan of the engi-
neers feasible.
These matters are now before the
board of directors and will be acted
upon in the near future. The water
filings of the district lapsed last year
August 20, 1912, and were relied
Beneficial use of the water must now
be made by December 81, 1921. II

finished in time there is no reasonable
broom for doubt but that the projec

contract to construct the entire pro

Late developments in the affairs of
the Black Canyon Irrigation District
are proving of decided interest
From irrigation of 98,4o25l acres
at an estimated cost Of $3.50 per acre
to irrigation of approximately 10000
acres at cost of only $25.33 with an
addition of $500 in ten years per
acre, is a decided jump: but such
seems to be the status<of affairs at
the present time.
The district has authorized bond
issue of $7,134,638O5 to build its
works. Their water filings require
one-ffth of this work to be finished
by June II, lol5-the fling on the
Little Payette, by some time next
year.
The big power site development
company, the Idaho Consolidated
Power & Utilities Co., have before
the directors of the district a propo-
sition to build the two dams at the
Payette Lakes and turn them over to
the district whenever requested, &C
cepting bonds therefor-they to have
the use of the dams until purchased
by the district
This will give the district the ad-
vantage of this amount and the COM
pany has asked to be allowed to SUBJ
NIT a bid for the entire work. This
bid will be presented in week or ten
days.

BLACK CANYON WATER TO BE REDUCED TO $37 SO
Already Getting Ready for State Aid

Already Getting Ready for State Aid
The legislature authorized the ex-
penditure of 100000 on good roads.
This sum is to be raised by issuing
bonds, and becomes available under
certain conditions and as the state
highway commissioners authorize. A
synopsis of the law was published in
The Tribune in its issue of March 28
and is familiar to its readers. Under
the provisions of the law the people
of north Idaho ask for $751; 900 of the
authorized 100000. The counties of
Shoshone and Kootenai propose to
put up $4,000 each. The money will
be expended in improving the main
travelled road from the Washington
state line to the Montana state line
Just east of the town of Mullan. This
is link in the, great northern national
trunk line which has been suggested.
The National Good Roads Associa-
ton advocates the constitution of
three continental roads. One through
the northern states from the Pacific
to the Atlantic: one through the GEN.
trail part of the country and one
throug 9Th the south Feeders are also
to be constructed under this ambitious
plan.
The steps taken by the people OF
Kootenai and Shoshone counties sug-
gest that other counties should get
busy if they expect state aid in the
con struction of good roads. We do
not believe $4,000 is too much to be
expended on the above named roads
However, that amount is going to
only two counties and many hauls OF
such size will deplete the fund. There
are other sections which will wish to
take advantage of the new law. Such
had better get busy. Canyon county
will be one of the counties in this sec.
ton of the state which will be found
ready to meet the conditions of the
law and the rules of the state high
way commissioners.

THE WATSON PERSECUTION,

The persecution of Tom Watson
mas been righteously stopped by
Judge Foster in Augusta-and It
should never have been started.
10 our mind they are raising a
racket with Watson on the wrong is
sue. Watson published certain
questions that Romish priests are
r9nuired by their church to ask girls
and women in the cOnfessional-ques
lions that are not at all chaste, and
$ that concern matters that should not
be discussed except between mother
and daughter. People who didn't
want this thing aired had Watson az
rested on the charge of sending OBJ
scene matter through the mails
To our mind the charge against
watson has nothing in it if these
are the foul questions asked by the
priests. If they are motif priests
do not ask these questions then
watson has published a lie. WHY
not prosecute him for that?
AS far as these questions are con-
Cerned, we have read them all. We
have copy Of the very book from
which Watson quoted, now loaned to
a lady in Tampa. And we give no.

that book, containing those identical
questions, from Tampa to Vidalia.
Will she be prosecuted for sending
obscene matter through the mails?
The Advance stands for American
liberty-the liberty of free speech
{ and free press. A sentence of words,
English or Latin, that is obscene to
go through the mails is not fit to be
used in connection with a religious
a conversation between a woman and
an unmarried man.
With the dvout Romanist who
gets comfort cut of his religion we
have no more contention than with
Protestant denominations but he
must not object to having as much
publicity given to his religious rites
and ceremonies as to those of others.
Nobody has yet denied the truth

IN Georgia demanded chance to express his
preference for Senator, they should not have
it.
So the voters were scorned, scoffed at.
lnsulted, treated with naughty contempt.
BY influences which will be exposed later,
Smith was elected by the legislature with
out any reference whatever to the people.
Smith had pledged himself to do great
things for Georgia, if he were again elected
Governor
He did not do them In neither of his
terms did he keep his promise
He paid some of his partsans at the
expense Of the tax payers, but nothing what
ever was done to relieve the taxpayers.
He used the office of governor to step into
the Senate. He has been prostituting his
power to punish every man in Georgia who
was too independent to obey his orders.
An unbroken record of consistent servilitv
has been the indispensable qualification Of
all those Georgians who wanted office bv
Smiths help.
But at last the peoples time is coming.
The time of the arbitrary executive commit
tee has passed.
Smith has got to go before the people.

WATSON VICTORIOUS.

The case against Tom Watson was
suddenly brought to an end this
week when Judge Foster sustaind
the defense in a motion to quash the
Indictment.
Judge Foster did not make any
ruling as to whether the defendant
was guilty of mailing obscene litera-
ture, but on the fact that the matter
referred to was an extract of a COM
plete article and no case could be
made unless the complete article is
included in the indictment.
This case has attracted a great
deal of attention owing to Mr.. Wat
sons prominence and his fight
against Romanism, and in reality has
been worth thousands of dollars to
him as an advertisement of his pub
locations, ana will strengthen his
fight in which he undoubtedly has
the sympathy and largely the sup
port of non-Catholics.- douglas
