Calender Wins Case.

The supreme court Monday
handed down decision in the case
of Frank Breshears against w. T
Calender, which was al pealed by
Calender from the District court
of Canyon county. The amount in
volved in the suit was the exohanee
of bonds in the amount of $4,000
in the Easter Mining & Milling com
pany for a horse. The interest up
on the bonds was refused and the
plaintiff brought an action to re-
cover from the defendant upon the
ground that he had mishepresent-
ed the character and the suffiC iency y
and value of the bonds. The DIS
trict court rendered judgment or
the plaintiff in the sum of $4,000,
but the supreme court held that
there was no evidence of fraud and
reversed the decision of the lower
court. The plaintiff warted TO re-
seind the contract, but the de-
fendant refused TO cancel it. Fin
ley Monroe was one of the atto.-
Deys for Calender and argued the
case before the supreme court l. st
week.

ORGANIZE
PHONE co.
Mutual Telephone Companies
Work in Boise Valley.

Tie telephone rates of the Noun
tain States Telephone Co. must
| be rcducec or mutual cooperative
phone companies will spring VI
everywhere. Steps are ready
being taken in number of towns
and rural districts in the Boise val
| ley to form organizations with the
object of putting in mutual COM
panies and connecting them up.
Middleton people have taken the
| initiative and action was taken
Monday night to organize a mutua
company. A dispatch to the States
men tells the story:
Definite action toward the imme-
diate organization of mutual CO.
operative telephone company was
taken last night by the representa-
tive citizens OF Middleton and vic
unity at a largely attended meet
ing of the Middleton Booster club.
A temporary organization was ef-
ected committees were appointed to
solicit subscribers, prepare con-
stitution and bylaws, and to make
an investigation of the methods ant
cost of constructing Telephone lines
and equipment.
A committee appointed at a
previous meeting of the club re-
ported that it had canvassed the
Middleton territory and found the
residents practically all favor
able to the cooperative enterprise.
was stated that there were for
merly IT'S telephones in this imme-
diate section, but that at present,
owing to the advance in rates from
S1.25 to So per month, which wen
into effect last November, there
are only 81 telephone patrons.
Under the plans formulated last
night each subscriber to the coop
erative company will be assessed Tor
the cost of constructing the main
telephone lines. 1t is figured that
such construction will cost about
$3.50 per mile, and that in Sec
tion as thickly populated as this
valley, the assessment per subscri-
ber will not exceed SIS. Each mem
Der will also stand the expense OF
connecting with the main line and
the cost of his own telephone in
8 s-.ument. After this initial ex-
pense, or investment as some re-
gard it, monthly fee of from
35 to so cents per subscriber is
said to be sufficient to cover main
tenance, switch fees and to pro-
vide a sinking fund.
1t is believed here that the or
ganization of the Middleton COM
pany will be followed by the form
ing of similar cooperative concerns
ali over the Boise valley, residents
of the Franklin end Midway dis
trictts and of Caldwell having al
ready announced their intention of
calling meetings for this purpose.

Big Benefit to Sweet.

The completion of this project
will prove of great benefit to the
Sweet country. The so l and q :
matte conditions ale almost identi-
cal with those of the Emmett coun-
try, both fruit and agricultural pro
ducts reaching the acne of pc &c
ton and yielding prodigally. The
$500 acres which it is p AIMED will
come under cultivation is all til
butary to Sweet and will inc ease
it's trade territory to such an
.xtent as to warrant that town ex-
panding to proportions of a sma
city. More than that, it will p owe
a boon to the entire Squaw creek
valley. Many ranchels along the
creek and in Ola country have made
application to have their lands
taken in and it is probable that an
effort will be made to increase
the water storage by tapping ad-
ditional watersheds so as to in
clude a larger acreage in the
project.

WRESTLING MATCH A
DRAW
Dave Gilmore and Young
Meeker Wrestled Two
Hours Without a Fall

| The sporting editor of The In
dex is not very well posted on the
wrestling game, but if Dave Gil
more of Emmett and Young Meek
er of Horseshoe Bend didn't make
a record Tuesday night, when they
wrestled for hours and 8 min
utes without either being able to
| win a fall, they certainly went
some" The match was declared a
draw though it is the general opin-
| ion that Gilmore had shade the
best of. the argument. 1t was IL
o'clock when the two contestants
agreed to quit, and the audience OF
$50 people were perfectly wiling,
though the program was one of the
best ever given in Emmett. The
entertainment was given by the
Athletic club and was splendidly
managed.
The first number was to have
been a Commute wrestling match
between Young Chisholm and
Young AL White. White was
sick however, and Tom Dawson
took his place. The match was a
coed one. Chisholm secured the
irst fall in seven minutes. On
account of an injured back, Day!so
was unable to continue.
The next number was boxing
contest between Willis Brassey of
Pearl and Walter Shirl of Horse
shoe Bend. The boys mixed it up
pretty lively, but neither one hit
very hard. They furnished lots of
fun for the spectators, however.
The event between Gilmore and
Meeker was the closing number. Gil
more weighed in 10 pounds more
than his opponent. He has wonder
fully improved since his last ap-
pearance, both in skill ard en-
durance and he astonished everyone
by his ability to pull out Of tight
places and in tackling the expert
enced and we'll trained lad rom tht
Bend. Both men are true sports
and there were no dirty tactics at
tempted After battling for hours
and Is minutes. Referee Leslie
Mills declared the bout draw by
mutual consent of the two con-
testants.

CONTRACT HELD TO Be
VOID
Supreme Court Decides A.
gainst Tallmadge in Pow
er Site Case

The supreme court en- Friday helj
that the contract entered into by
the directors of the Emmett Irri-
cation District with c. L. Tall
madge to permit him to use the
Canyon canal from the headgate to
the location of a power site some
distance below was void.
The suit was brought by F. J.
Colburn and many other water
users in the district to have the
contract annulled On the ground
that the directors had exceeded thei
powers. The case was tried in the
district court at Caldwell and Co.
burns contention was sustained
by Judge Bryan. Tallmadge ap-
pealed the case to the Supreme
court.
In an opinion written by Chief
Justice Ailshie, and concurred in
by Justices Stewart and Sullivan,
the supreme court held the con-
tract of Tallmadse with the irri "a
ton district to be an ultra wires
act and there ore void. The sup
RENE court, in deciding the mat
ter, left a question which will pro-
badly be raised some time again un.
determined. The court in the syl-
labus of the case asks the ques-
tion whether an individual or a.
mother irrigation district has the
right to condemn canal of an ir-
rigation district and enlarge it for
the purpose of bringing wa er
through it for the puposes of de-
veloping power.

IRRIGATION Project
FOR SQUAW
CREEK
Will Water 45OO Acres
Around Sweet
TO Be COMPLETED BY 1914
Storage Works in Sage Hen
Basin--Slick Brothers
Construction Co. to
Build 1t.
TO Be COMPLETED BY 1914

The reclamation of $500 acres
of rich agricultural and fruit lanos
in the vicinity of Sweet is the Cd
iect of an irrigation project con
ceived by F. A. DeClark and +. =
Forshay of Emmett and to be fin
apced and constructed by the wei
known contracting company OF Silci
Brothers. Work on the project Is
to start this spring and water Is
to be delivered to the lands embrac
ed in the project in time for the
irrigation season of 1914.
The stamp of approval was plac
ed upon the proposition Tuesday b!
w. B. Slick, president of the con-
struction company, and Frank r.
King. a railroad and irrigation en-.
gineer of national reputation, whit
were in this city to examine the
plans already prepared by Engineer
Forshay and to go over a statlstl-
cal report of the resources, quail
ity of the land and acreage sus-
ceptible of being irrigated in tbs
territory.
The general plan as outlined by
Engineer Forshay is as follows:
A storage reservoir is to be made
liz the Sage Hen basin, 20 miles
north of Ola. The site is a
natural one, having previous been
a lake. 1t has an elevation of 400
feet and covers $50 acres. In depth
it will be 80 feet. 1t is fed bySage
Hen creek, which is attributary of
Squaw creek, and three smaller
streams, which have a water shed
of 13 square miles. A dam SO
feet high will be built, impounding
10000 acre feet of water. The
outlet will consist of 24-inch
pipe, set in concrete in the base of
the dau, A concrete spillway will b
built at the south end of the dam
IN order to carry off flood waters
and thus protect settlers in that
vicinity from damage.
The channels of Sage Hen and
Squaw creeks will be used to con-
duct water from the reservoir to
the point of diversion on Squaw
creek. which will be in the vicinity
of the Sweet FIGURING mill. From
there two canals will be construct
ed. one on each side of Squaw cree
both canals aggregating 8 miles
in length.
The use of Squaw creek and Sage
Hen creek as channels in which
to bring the water down obviates
any danger of trespassing or in
juring the prior water rights of
any settler along these streams. On
the contrary, his supply will be SAT
ser, surer and moe abundant.

1Wbere It's the bioe?
By a Cousin of Bill Misgivens

Four hunters bold went forth thro the cold
mountain lion to say,
Thro snowdrifts Deep over mountains steep,
They fought their perilous way.
In jungle wide on the mountansde
They brought the beast to bay,
But their aim was poor, tho they made him roar
He made his getaway.
Then over the Butte to Indian Jake's
Went the wounded lion, the scouts in his wake,
And farther on to Willow Creek Flat
The ferocious beast again stood them pat
And now the hunters with steady aim
Laid low the beast already lame
And while they rested their weary feet
They peeled the carcass and ate the meat
Then homeward bound over snow fields wide
They scooted in on toboggan slide,
And told of their prowess with boastfuI pride
They'd killed lion but where is the hide?

will be unusually severe. Aeroplanes
and drigibles. the latter equipped
with wireless outfits, will be employ
ed for scouting purposes and the car
rying of dispatches. The German
army is soon to have bicycle corps
for the first time, and it is expected
the various types Of machines will be
tried out in practical way during
the maneuverS.
