VAN WYCk DRUGGIST
is SHOT
Burning of Hotel One of the
Causes for the
Tragedy.

U. J. Bechtel, a druggist Of Van
Wyck, was shot by John Emery at
that place Monday morning, following
the burning of the hotel Sunday Beeh-
tel was also the owner Of the hotel hav
was also the owner of the hotel, hav-
ing purchased it a few weeks ago.
and gossip around that town is busy
connecting him with the destruction OF
the building. Dr. Clark, who was
called to Van Wyek Monday afternoon
TO attend the injured man, returned
yesterday and says there Is small
chance for his recovery
The tragedy took place on the
streets OF Van Wyck about 10 o'clock
Bechtel, who is very unpopular there,
made sighting remark about Emery
who at once went TO his home, secm
ed a A Winchester rifle and shot
twice at Bechtel, who was riding in a
buggy. The first shot went wild, but
the second struck Beehtel in the left
side and came out under the right
shoulder blade. Emory had not been
arrested up to the time of DR.. Cla-k's
departure. The sentiment OF the citi-
zens is with Emory and it is reported
that if his case comes to trial that
the people viii raise sufficient funds
70 pay the court expense.

MILL RESIDENCE
AT SWEET BURNS
Entirely Destroyed With Loss of
S1500-Mill Has Narrow Escape.

The residence near the Touring mill
at Sweet was destroyed by fire at
2 o'clock this afternoon. The loss is
about $500. No insurance
The origin of the fire is unknown,
as there was no one at the house at
the time. The loss is complete The
mill had narrow escape, being set
on fire several times by the heat and
sparks from the burning house and
was saved only after hard fight by
the bucket brigade. The sides of the
building were badly scorched. The
house as well as the mill are owned
by the Boise County Milling Co., the
stockholders of which are farmers
and business men in the vicinity of
Sweet and the Jensen Brothers.

READY FOR SAGE HEN
PROJECT
Slick Brothers to Take Up Irri-
CATION of Squaw Creek
Lands Soon.

The proposed irrigation works
known as the Sage Hen project, which
has for it's object the watering of ap-
proximately $500 acres of land in the
Squaw creek valley contiguous to
Sweet, has progressed to the point
where the company that is prepared
to finance and construct the systeni
are ready to make an investigation
of the feasibility of the project and
if found satisfactory to at once start
the work
In letter to E. E. Forshay, the
nell known irrigation engineer of this
city, who has made a preliminary sur
vey, drawn the maps and satisfied
himself that the proposed project is
not only feasible and presents no
difficult engineering problems, but
that it can be built at very reason
able expense to the lands embraced
in the system, w. B. Slick, president
of Slick Bros. Construction company,
writes that he expects to be able to
accompany him Mr.. Forshay) and go
over the entire ground. He says fur
ther that if the project is feasible,
his company is ready to take hold Of
the proposition and build it with their
own money in first class manner.
No company in the Northwest en-
joys a more enviable reputation for
integrity and ability to make good
than Slick Brothers. They have sue
cessful carried to completion very
many of the large irrigation and rail
road contracts in this state. Recent
ly they have financed the Crane creek
project, aggregating in cost 1921, 900
and also sold the Crane Falls power
plant and irrigation system for the
Gem Irrigation district to the Idaho
Oregon Power Company. This COM
pany is now engaged in the construc-
ton of the Crane Greek system. They
are reliable in every particular.
The Index two months ago gave a
detailed description of the proposed
project Briefly stated, it is proposed
to build storage reservoir in Sage
Hen basin covering $50 acres, 20
feet deep and impounding 10000 acre
feet of water The elevation is 400
feet. The channels of Sage Hen and
Squaw creeks will be used to conduct
water from the reservoir to the point
of diversion near the Sweet Touring
mill From there two canals will be
constructed, one on each side Of
Squaw creek, aggregating Is miles
in length. The use of the two creeks
as channels in which to bring the wa
ter down to the point of diversion not
only vii protect the prior water rights
of settlers entitled to them, but will
be great saving in expense to the
land owners in the new project.

Propose to Use Electricity.

That the Oregon Short Line is seri-
ously considering the electrifying of
its entire railroad system in southern
Idaho from Pocatello or Montpelier
on the east to Huntington on the
west, is the information that has
been reliably given to Boise men who
are in close touch with the operations
of that road. They have been inform
ed that the Oregon Short Line has
asked the large electrical power com
panies operating in the southern part
of this state to submit bids on the
furnishing of this power basing their
figures on the power necessary to
operate cars on the entire main sec
ton of the southern Idaho system.
Railroad men claim that it is very
probable that definite action will be
taken by the Oregon Short Line to
prepare for the installation of the
necessary apparatus to electrify the
system, due to the fact that a great
reduction can be made in the cost of
operation.

In to Land Owners.

Mr.. Slick, his own engineer and Mr..
Forshay expect to make their tour
of investigation next week. If the
report on the feasibility of the pro-
ject is favorable, its construction
will be up to the owners of the land
that can be watered by the system.
Without their agreement to use the
water, nothing can be done. If
prompt favorable action is taken the
system will be completed in time to-
deliver water next spring.
Very favorable terms are offeredI
Bonds may run either 15 or 20 years.
No payments will be required during
the three years following the COM
pletion of the system and during that
time the expense of maintenance will
be borne by the company. As the
first three years are the expensive
ones and also years in which the
water users receive limited returns
from their lands, this is a valuable
consideration. As soon as the feast
bility of the project is determined, es-
Inmates of the cost per acre will be
made and submitted to the land own
.ers in the district for their considera-
tion.

push its apples into markets that have
never been developed for the north

were lost through the folly of short
sighted shippers sending out false
labels, in some cases as 10 grade, in
others as to varieties.

plants and viii result in adding many
thousands Of acres 70 the irrigated
area Of southwestern Idaho, thanks
to the wise policy Of the government
in withdrawing the power sites from
indiseriminate fling by spectators
and reserying them for beneficial use
only. The latest fling made IS
short distance above the junction Of
the North and South Forks ard the
purpose IS 10 furnish power for pump
ing water onto the lands al Dead Ok
Flat near Ontario IN Oregon
The fling is in the name OF the
Dead Ok Flat Irrigation District and
it is proposed TO install power plant
with capacity Of 5000 horsepower
While no definite plans have yet been
drawn, the general scope OF the work
will consist Of dams in the North and
