maintenance QUES-
ton IN COURT
Supreme Tribunal to Decide as
Between North and South
Side Apportionment.

Has a district court or the supreme
court jurisdiction over matters grow
ing out of the distribution of cost of
maintenance in an irrigatinn system
This is a new question growing oct
Of the suit now in the supreme court
in which J F. Colburn is the plaintiff
and R. B. Wilson, C. l.. Spaulding
and w. H. Shane, directors Of the En-
nett Irrigation district, and H. Hav-
Tor, secretary Of the district, are the
defendants.
In the statement of the case 1T is
set forth that Colburn is taxpayer
and resides in what is known rs the
North Side Of the Emmett Irrigation
district. 1t is intimated that he rep
resents all the other residents in that
part of the district. He is Inde.tak-
ing to defeat the collection of mdin-
tenance taxes levied by the hoard o.
directors in August 1912, on the
charge that the taxes were not distrl-
buted in proportion to the benefits ac-
cruing to the land.
The canal system in this district is
described as being in the form of the
letter Y. The main canal is repre-
sented by the stem of the Y. 1t heads
on the north side of the Payette
river in Boise county about 20 miles
above Emmett The main canal fol-
lows down the north side of the river
until it passes within the boundaries
of the district. Within the district
the main canal branches into two
forks compared to the forks of the
letter Y. That fork watering the
land known as the south side crosses
the Payette river in syphon. This
skirts along the foothills and waters
about 1890 acres in the district.
The other fork continues from the
junction point along the north side of
the river and waters about $4,000
acres of land near Emmett in the dis
trict.
1t is alleged in the original COM
plant that the cost of maintenance
and expenses on the the south fork of
the canal covering the 1890 acres IN
the section known as the south side,
for the fiscal year was S3068.50, and
the maintenance and expenses for the
section known as the north side a
mounted to but S1937.50. This is
exclusive of the cost of improvement
and the cost of maintenance above
the point where the main canal
branches.
Colburn makes as his chief COM
plant the charge that the apportion-
ment of the cost of maintenance was
not in accordance with the benefits.
In the district court the defendants |
fled a general demurrer, and this |
demurrer was sustained by Judge |
Bryan in the district court. The ap
peal to the supreme court was taken
from this action of Judge Bryan's,
and this appeal was argued Thursday.
This case is of peculiar interest be-
cause of the question of jurisdiction
raised. 1t was established long ago
that the district court, or the su-
preme court on appeal, has the right
to distribute the cost of construction
or the cost of permanent improve
ments in an irrigation district: but
it is asserted that up to this time no
court in this state has been asked to
the cost of maintenance for
an irrigation district.-Boise States

 The three streams made short work Of the blaze, but section of the roof was thoroughly burned through, the ceiling of the garage was eharred and two of the Rogers laundry wagons and fruit dealer swagon had their tops burned before they could be rolled out by the well directed efforts of the fire men.
 An old automobile body which was under the stairway, was completely de stroyed. It belonged to the laundry. The damage to the building is estimat- ed at several hundred dollars.
 In the Gross garage were two auto mobiles, to which the firenen gavs their first attention upon arriving, roll ing both outside. One was Packard touring car and was on the wash stand and on fire, the top being burned off and the body badly scorched. The oth- CT was not touched by the fire. Sun day night Melvin Gross estimated the damage to the car at from $200 to $500. He had no insurance.
 The automobile was not damaged as far as it's running parts were concern ed and it was used on Sunday to fill an enga cement which had been made for it to take a party from here to BrightmanS pond to the postal em pIoyes outing. Blankets were put in to cover up the burned portions of the seat and cushions. and the trip was accomplished without difficulty.
 The cause of the fire is unknown, but the suggestion to which most credenee was given on Sunday was that some body might have been sleeping under the stairs, possibly in the old automo- bile body.

Fire, apparently starting under a stairway. in some frame buildings at te head of Whites court, owned by James A.

Another occupant of the house was awakened by the blaze and gave the alarm to Mir. Coloupolos. who ran to the. box on Franklin square.
 Three streams of water put on the fire in short order through the quick response of the department had the fire under control in about fifteen minutes and the. recall was sounded, but the firemen kept at work for about an hour before all signs of the blaze had disappeared.
 The building was occupied at it's western end by the garage of Green & Son, and the remainder of the build ing by the wagon sheds and stable of the F, C. Rogers laundry. The stair way under which the fire apparently started was between the garage and the laundry sheds, and leads up into the City cemetery. The fire did not reach the stable, where there were three horses, which were taken out in safety by Policeman Ralph Diveto after Fireman Henry Taft had smash ed the lock off the door with an axe
 The flames were leaping out of the shingle roof of the building when the firemen arrived, and lighting up the dense fog that prevailed so that from a distance it looked as if the whole of Franklin street might be on fire. The autochemical ran up into the court to get at close range, while the other

 He struggled to get out of the reach of the men, who tried to induce him to leave his watery environment, but as he was known to be a good swimmer and was in rather shallow water not much fear for his safety was enter tanned by those who knew him best, although he made a great splashlng with his arms and sputtered water like a fountain, in what his acqualntances considered an imitation attempt at suicide.
 Two men went out to the rescue in a boat. and got hold of him, but he resisted their efforts to drag him to shore or aboard the boat, so that the struggle finally swamoed the craft ana it went to the bottom. This put alf three men in the water which was about up to their armpits, and they then struggled ashore. The two res euers had two suits of clothes spoiled by their efforts to help Warshek.

ALLEN PARTY HOME. 45 Day Trip to Europe Was Com plete Successfully Two Rainy


 After their 45 day European trip, the Allen party of tourists, in personal charge of Frank H. Allen, reoched home here on Sunday united in de- claring that they had enjoyed an expe- rience which they can never forget.
 On the steamer Winifredian, upon which they sailed from Liverpool on Thursday, Aug. 7th, they reached Bos- ton harbor on Sunday morning about ' o'clock, and after an hour spent in the custom house formalities again were on the shore of their native land. All came throughe the custom houS without difficulty. Seveal members of the party took the 10 o'clock train from Boston for Norwich, but the majority of the party of p waited to arrange about their baggage and were not able to get away from Boston until the 3 o'clock train, which brought them here about ' o'clock, as the train was hail an hour late.
 Since they left here on the morning of the Fourth of July the party has known only two rainy days, one in Strausbourg and the other in London. But this last was the day before they sailed and as the sightseeing was all over by that time it really made no difference. While the home people have been sweltering in the torrid July and August weather, MT Allen said Sunday night that the tourists have worn their coats nearly all the time and have experienced little trouble some heat. The trips across the At lantic. both ways, were remarkably smooth. and two such voyages as they enjoyed on that account could hardly be duplicated. The party enjoyed good health. had no unpleasant experi- ences or incidents. and number of them wrote home of the gain in aYoiP- dupois which they would show when next they met their home people. These expectations were fully realized in the greetings exchanged in reunited family circles in a number of Norwich homes on Sunday.
