A Senator and a Third

The kellogg Record, usually fair,
goes out of its way to cast odium
upon Senator Brady and pay tribute
to Senator Borah. The Record says:
Idaho has two United States sem
ators, or to be more explicit, we might
say that the state has one senator
and one-third of senator.
1T is easy to guess who constitutes
the third. Borah was elected for six
years and Brady for two.
But that is not the end of the
story. Borah stays in congress and
takes care of the states business and
is There when matters of Importance
are to be looked after; but Brady
leaves that honorable body-but it is
evident that he is not missed-and
cavorts around with his new bride
1--WE apologize to Mrs. Brady for no
other purpose than to try and make
the impression that he is necessary in
the United States senate"
1t will strike the average man that
Senator Brady can do as much for
his state and country in Idaho as he
can in Washington at the present
time The national administration,
through it's Democratic party, has
Paid little attention to the arguments
of Republicans in either house of
Congress. Through its caucas it
enacts such legislation as is on the
program This is the first time we
believe that citizen of the state has
criticized United States senator for
trying to keep in close touch with his
constituency.
Senator Brady is condemned for
visiting Idaho and yet at the same
time Senator Borah is not condemned
although he has announced his inten-
ton Of going to Massachusetts, to
campaign for "A. p. Gardner for gov
ernor. 1t seems to The Tribune that
it is every whit as important for an
Idaho senator to keep in touch with
his own state as for another to spell
bind people of Massachusetts,. We
have no criticism to offer upon Sen
ator Borah's proposed campaign in
New England, but if we were looking
for an opportunity to criticise Senator
Brady we would try to find more OPP
perfume time and a more substantial
basis that the fact that he visited his
home state.

A Thorn in he Side.

Captain E. G. Davis, private secre-
tary to Governor Haines, is certainly
a thorn in the side OF the Capital
News. The Boise paper is now forced
to conhne itself to the truth or suffer
humiliation. Of course as it cannot
do the former and is used to the lat
ter the Boise paper will go its way.
In this connection the Grangeville
Globe says:
Captain E. G Davis, private sec
rotary to Gov. Haines, doesn't do any
thing but mop up the earth with the
Capital News editor when it comes
to answering his charge that there is

lot of the Capital News editor, and he

The Mackay Dam Again.


The state land board has returned
from Mackay where an investigation
was made of the Mackay dam and the
Big Lost River Cary irrigation pro-
ject. Upon their return the members
of the board were very guarded in
their statements but the impression
seems to prevail that there is strong
likelihood of the resumption of work
on the project. This project has had
a stormy career. The Big Lost River
Land & Irrigation Co. was organized
in 1907 and imme diately entered upon
a contract with the state for the rec
lamation of some $4,000 acres of land
upnder he Cary act. In 1909 the pro-
ject was taken over by Geo. S. Speer
for the Trobridge-Nivers Co. of Chi
cago. The Trobridge- MYERS Co. ut
terly failed to carry out its contract
prior to going bankrupt. While
changes in ownership, reorganization
of companies and actual construction
work was in progress the people of
Mackay and along the river for dis
lance of IS or 20 miles became afraid
that their lives and property were en-
dangered by impounding SO much wa
ter above them. They employed an
engineer whose report condemned
the Mackay dam as unsafe. The peo-
pie then asked that the work on the
dam be discontinued At the present
time the project is long way from
completion
This project has been an eyesore
to the state for number of years.
Every state administration has tried
to do something for this project but
without avail. Financial difficulties on
the part of the irrigation companies
and disagreement among the people
have not been overcome. The land
owners under the project insist upon
the completion of the dam. Settlers
below the dam protest against the use
of the reservoir SO constructed. We
trust that the different interests will
be satisfied and the project completed.
Dedication of Highway.
Saturday Chairman Theodore Tur-
rer of the State Highway Commits
sion, accompanied by delegation of
Pocatello citizens, will go to Ameri-
can Falls where they will arrange for
the ceremonies of starting work on
the proposed highway system of the
state. The first section of the east
and west road. that will be started
upon consists of n miles of road west
OF American Falls This stretch of
road follows the old Oregon trail.
The ceremonies will be simple and inn
pressive. A stone appropriately en-
graved will mark THE spot where work
Is started. This piece of road, is
part of the east and west road which
when completed will extend across
the southern part Of the state from
the Oregon to the Wyoming line.
Caldwell is on the route. One of the
conditions is that the different coun-
ties will have to expend two dollars
for every dollar by the state As the
highway extends the full length of
Canyon county we will be called upon
to spend considerable sum but the
highway will be worth it.
