Water Disputes Of Settlers
Again Before the Land Board

had been submitted to the water
users and indorsed by them. They
took the position this opened up the
whole controversy, as the water
users had insisted from the begin
ming they were entitled under the
contract to have the water delivered
on their land.
On the other hand General s. II q.
Hays, who appeared for the rriga-
ton company, took the position ii
would be unfair to make the COM
pany responsible for the safe deliv-
cry of the water when the company
does not have the power to measure
the water at any point, but that
prerogative was retained by the state
engineer.
General Hays said he had report
ed to the eastern stockholders the
opposition expressed to this new
provision in the agreement. lie
expected to hear in day or tive
and pending this information the
matter was passed by the board. 1t
was clearly indicated by practically
all the members, however, that the
agreement would not be accepted
by the board without first submit
ting it to the settlers on the tract

There is no slump in the tide of
immigration to Idaho" is the re-
mark of II. ]. Hooker. who reports
that conditions in this section Of
the state are showing a strong and
healthy growth. Already this spring
Mr.. Hooker reports that his COM
pany has located 25 new families
on the North Side tract, many of
whom have taken up land under
the pumping plant, and it is the
prediction that this number will he
greatly increased before the season
is over. He states that the boom
days are over and that the settlers
coming now are substantial farmers
and the very best kind of people for
any new country.

North Side Tract, but from every
section of the country comes the
news of an increase in the price of
milk and cream, and this has its
effect in raising the price of dairy
cows. From an Illinois paper We
take the following regarding the
advance in the price of milk made
10y the Borden Company, the big
condensers:
The biggest raise in milk prices
ever granted farmers in this vicinity
after their contracts had been signed
up, has been made public by Supt.
Ralph NJ. Church of the local plant
Of the Borden Milk Co.
Farmers selling to the Borden
factory will receive an additional DC
per 100 over the contract price for
April milk, 1Oc for July, l5c for
August and l9c for September.
The average price stipulated 10y
the contracts recently signed up was
81 81 1-6, with a Zoe bonus foi
milk testing 3.S butter fat. Tn,
raise in price makes the averag,
81. 40 SO, or 81 80 80 if the milk
contains the required amount o
butter fat. This increase will cos
the company between s., 800 an,
5000.
The only explanation given fo
the advance is that dairymen nea
Chicago demanded an increase anC
got it and the company decided tina
to be fair the raise must be mad
universal.

Idaho is no longer classed among
the group of states having only one
member of the House of Representa-
tives, rs with the commencement of
the 63rd Congress this state will he
represented by two members. Dur
ing the period of twenty years since
the state was admitted to the union
our population has grown from
so, 900 to about 400, 900, and before
the census of 1920, it will probably
double this number.

MUST STAY IN FEDERAL COURT.

Judge DIETRICH of the Federal
Court last week in the case of Dolin
Collins VS.. The Twin Falls North
Side Land IL Water Co., case or
iginating in this country, denied a
motion of the defendants that the
case be remanded to the district
court.
Motion to remand was brought
by the defendant on the ground
that the matter in dispute is not of
a value in excess of $1,000. The
court, however, held that rs there
are two causes of action, although
judgment for only s2999 is asked,
the defendants are in jeopardy on
both claims, the aggregate of which
is not s2999, but S5669. 80.
For this reason the motion to re-
mand the case back to the district
court for hearing was denied.
The above clipping is taken from
the Statesman, but it is erroneous
in that it states that the motion to
remand was made by the defendant.
This case was instituted in Lincoln
county, but was removed to the
federal court upon motion of the
defendant, and it was the plaintiff
who asked that it be remanded back
to the district court. johnson 4
Haddock, of Shoshone, are attor-
neys for the plaintiff.

tant case appealed to the supreme
court. This is the case OF Glen X.
Boutwell, against Bingham county
and Heber G. Rich, assessor and ex-
oflicio tax collector for that county.
The transcript Of this case was filed
in the supreme court Wednesday.
From the records Of the case tried
before Judge James NJ Stevens in
the Sixth district, it seems that
Boutwell,, who is citizen Of Salt
Lake, purchased quarter section
of land in Carey act segregation
Of 40, ,S5S acres in Blaine and Bing-
ham counties. Water for the tract
was to be furnished by the American
Falls Canal & Power company.
Boutwell, received a patent to his
land in February, 1911. On Janu-
AIRY 8, 1911, Heber c. G. Rich
assessed the land at n valuation of
$3.50 and levied tax of s3S.S
against the property.
This Boutwell, claims to be n vio-
lation Of the Carey act and of the
laws Of Idaho. He prayed to have
Assessor Rich enjoined from levy
ing and collecting this tax against
his property and his petition was
denied by Judge Stevens in the
district court. The appeal is taken
from this ruling Statesman.

The Twin Falls Chronicle gives
this paper credit for an item stat
ing that the settlers were blaming
Attorney Johnson for the defeat of
the Carey act commission bill. The
Chronicle man has evidently got his
wires crossed somewhere, as no such
item ever appeared in the Times
and in addition we don't believe
there is Il settler on the tract who
attributes any blame to Mr.. John
son for the defeat Of the measure.
We trust that the Chronicle will
take occasion to put US right on the
matter and give the credit for such
slander where it rightfully belongs,

ATTEND THE MASS MEETING SATURDAY

Like clap of thunder out Of n |
clear sky came the announcement
yesterday that Atty. Hays repsent-
ing the North Side Land & Water
Co. had appeared before the State
Land Board, and on behalf Of his
company practically refused to ac-
cept the decision regarding the stor,
age water for this tract as made by
the board last December.
This would look like Il repudia-
ton OF an agreement on the part Of
the attorney, as the records Of the
lrnd board show that Attorney Hays
on behalf Of his clients verbally ac-
cepted the decision as satisfactory
at the time it was made.
What future course the matter
will take remains to be seen, but
every settler on the tract should have
interest enough in his water right
to attend the meeting called Ior
Saturday OF this week.
The Statesman Of yesterday gives
the following details regarding the
latest developments in this matter
1t begins to look as though the
entire Twin Falls north side contro-
versy is to be fought out again be-
fore the state a n d board. 1t
cropped out at the meeting Tuesday
afternoon in the form Of modifica.
tion in the agreement reached last
fall between the land board, the
water users association and the ir-
rigation company. This agreement
was reached after much turmoil and
many conferences. The basis of it
was that the irrigation company,
the Kuhns, were to start water at
Jackson lake in Wyoming, convey
it down the channel of the snake
river and deliver III 900 acre feet
of it to the settlers at the point Of
diversion at Miner.
This III 900 acre feet of water,
thus delivered, was to take the place
Of the water it had been originally
planned to impound in two reser-
voirs on the north side tract, but
which experience showed could not
be made to hold water.
After wrestling with this problem
through the Hawley administration
an agreement was finally reached
satisfactory to the land board, the
settlers, and it was presumed to the
irrigation company. The agree
ment was not signed on behalf q
the state or the settlers, but was
left open until it could be submitted
to the Kuhns in the east for theii
signatures.
In this form the problem was
transferred from the old to the new
state administration. When the
agreement came back from the east
it was found to include new pro
vision, inserted by the members O
the irrigation company.
This new provision was to the eff
feet the company would not be re
sponsible for water stolen by othel
irrigators between Jackson lake anc
Milner. In this form the agreemen
was laid before the land board a
its meeting.
Attorney General Peterson anc
Secretary of State Clifford announced
at once and in positive terms the,
would not accept the agreement ii
that form, at least not until after i
