people the need OF scientific farming, by

BRICK HOUSE
SENT BY MAIL

Mr.. George Smith of our town
sent by Parcel Post this morning
brick of local manufacture to be u.s.
ed in building brick house at the
Coliseum Chicago during the Clay
Products Exposition which is to be
held February 26th to March Sth.
This brick will be one of $4,000 sent
by parcel post from every brick plant
in the United States to be used in
the construction of this house, which
will be given away and re-erected
after the exposition.
The idea was originated to test the
merits of the Parcel Post system
and it is certainly novel one. A
record will be kept of each brick
from the time the brick is mailed un-
til it is delivered in Chicago in order
to see how speedily Uncle Sam can
deliver brick house by mail.
1t is probable that Uncle Sam s
mail carriers in Chicago will not be
overly enthusiastic for this method
of delivery of brick house. Other
mail carriers throughout the country
will watch the experiment with inter
est and fear and trembling. While
the brick fireproof home is becom-
ing more and more popular because
of it's permanency, economy and SUI
periority, it is not probable that they
will be delivered by mail to any
alarming extent.
At any rate George Smith Will
have a brick in the first house ever
sent by mail.

COMMISSIONERS
HOLD SESSION
Rental and Maintenance Charges for
EImore Irrigated Farma
Association Fixed

The county commissioners have
been holding an extra session OF that
board this week hearing arguments
on a petition filed with the board by
Attorney Mclaughlin in behalf OF
some water users asking the COM
missioners to fix the price the FL
more Irrigated. Farms Association and
Mountain Home Cooperative Irriga-
uion Company could charge for rent
al and maintenance. Attorney Wolfe
represented the Elmore Irrigated
Farms Association and w. c. Howie
the Mountain Home COOPERATIVE r.
rigation Company.
Both irrigation companies objected
to the Commissioners fixing the
rates. The Elmore Irrigated Farms
Association asked that II the rate be
fixed that it be not less than -
per acre foot.
The County Commissioners did not
fix a rate for the Mountain Home
Cooperative Irrigation Company, but
did fix rate for the Gilmore Irri-
gated Farms Association of $50 per
second foot per month. This In lay
mans figures will be 81 per acre
per month for amount awarded by the
Mellen decree. The amount asked for
by the Company would have amount
ed to 1925 per acre per month for
the amount of water awarded by the
Mellen decree.

COURT HELD
IN CHAMBERS
Important Decision Involving Water
Rights Rendered by Judge
Stockslager

Judge Stockslager was here Mon
day sitting in chambers finishing up
a case tried at the last term OF the
district court.
This was an action brought by the
Mountain Home COOPERATIVE Irriga-
tion Company through it's attorneys,
w. C. Howie, of this city and attorn-
ey Sullivan of Boise, to prevent the
Elmore Irrigated Farms Association,
which is represented by Attorney +.
M. Wolfe, from taking or interfering
with water from Long Tom and Little
Camas reservoirs and to force him
to let the Mountain Home Co-Opera
tive Irrigation Company deliver wat
er through his system without being
interfered with.
Attorney Wolfe raised the question
that under the Mellen decree he had
the right to take water from Long
Tom and Camas reservoirs for his
patrons, that the Mellen decree gave
him first right to all reservoirs.
Judge Stockslager rendered de-
cision in favor of the Mountain Home
Cooperative Irrigation Company,
holding that the different users
rights were attached to one reser-
voir, and that each user must depend
on that reservoir. The older rights
were attached to Rattle Snake only,
next to Long Tom and the last to
Little Camas, holding in effect that a
rental right could not attach to a
system before it was built and that
the rental rights which the Mellen
suit gave a priority prior to 1906 at.
tached to the Elmore Irrigated Farms
Association, those of 1906 and after
wards were attached to the Mountain
Home COOPERATIVE Irrigation System
and that those who had right from the
Gilmore Irrigated Farms Association
system could not demand water IRON
the Cooperative system and the co
Operative system could not demanc
water from the Elmore Irrigated
Farms Association system.
The decree also gives a list OF al
parties decreed water from the Mel
len suit and states from which sys
tenn he must get his water.

DEBATING TEAMS MEET

Last Friday night the local debat-
ing teams, local negative vs.. affirm
ative of Nampa in Mountain Home
and the local affirmative VS.. negative
of Star at Star met to debate on the
question of Commission Form OF Gov
ernment.
The contest in this city which was
held in the auditorium of the School
House, was poorly attended but the
discussion was none the less spirited
as one Of the judges, Boise citi-
zen. was heard to remark that 1T was
almost a flip OF the coin between the
teams and that the argument put
forth by the local team on the mega
tive side of the question was as good
as any he had ever heard.
'' Last night the Mountain Home
negative team debated with the Boise
affirmative at Boise while the Boise
negative crossed arguments with our
affirmative in this city, resulting IN
a victory for Mountain Home OF z
to 1.
This Is one Of the hardest fought
contests that has been held in this
city as the rivalry between the stu.
dents of the two cities has been Oh
long standing and although the en-
rollment Of the Boise High reaches
the 500 mark while that OF Mount
ain Home totals about 80, the local
teams have that confidence in them
seles that aided them in victory.
