DAMAGE CASES.

The time of the district court at
Gooding last week and this has
been taken up in the hearing of
damage suits brought by settlers on
the North Side tract against the
Twin Falls North Side Land & Wa
ter Co., occasioned by the failure OF
the latter to furnish a sufficient sup
ply Of water for the lands during
the irrigation seasons of 1909 and
1910.
The first of these cases to go on
trial was the Dolon Collins case, land
by the way, this is the first of the
many cases for damages filed against
the company that has been allowed
to go to trial, the company hereto
fore settling these claims even at
the eleventh hour.
The Collins case was not so much
on account of the scarcity of water
in the canals rs it was the default
ing of the state contract by the COM
pany in not providing checks in the
coulees by which water could be di-
verted to the lands. In this instance
the coulee passing the Collins land
was too low to divert the water
without a check, and the persistent
refusal of the company to install
this check resulted in loss of crops
to Collins, for which he sought re-
dress.
The case was tried to jury,
Judge Walters presiding on the
bench, and preponderance OF evil
dence introduced on both sides, at
the conclusion of which the jury
found for the plaintiff and a Judge
ment for 81, ,S95 was rendered against
the company, together with the
costs in the case.
An attempt was made by Attor
ney Hays to have this judgment
entered against the operating com
pany instead of the 7. F. n. ). l.
g. w. Co., but not being able t'
give any satisfactory reason for TIM
request, Judge Walters ordered th'
Judgment to stand against the waite
company as prayed for in the petl
ton.

to the jury gave for thetirstt ime

UP IN THE AIR.

Both the potato and hay ques-
tions are problems that are worrying
our farmers at the present time.
The potato market at the present
time, TO use a common phrase, is
all shot to pieces, and growers are
undecided as to whether to hold
their crop or let loose at the present
prices. The general sentiment is
for those who have the facilities, to
hold their spuds. The market has
been flooded with inferior stock,
which accounts for the slump, but
better market is anticipated with
in week or so.
So many conflicting stories have
come from east regarding the prices
of alfalfa, that many are holding
their hay with the anticipation Of
getting good returns from it. In a
review of the hay situation through
out Kansas, the Drovers Telegram
of Kansas City, in a recent issue
gave expressions from some of the
leading farmers of the state, and
the following are about the sub
stance of these replies:
G. B. Fields, of Alma, Kans.
says:
I'm all the years that | have
spent in Kansas, l never saw such
bright foliage, and green fields in
October as we have now. The pas
lures that were burned brown and
the foliage that was curled up, has
taken on a dark green shade and
the fields are a bright green every
where. Wheat comes up three days
after sowing.

MERITS OF THE VEIL.

He is a daring man who. In this
age of feminism, ventures to criticize
anything that women wear or do. OF

men have made merry and clergy

nounced the fashions of women.

feet, and their cauls, and their round

(jeweled garters. of course,) and the
head bands and the tablets and the
errings. the rings and nose jewels,
the changeable suits of apparel and
the mantles and the wimples and the
crisping pins. the glasses and the fine
linen and the hoods and the wells"
Sir John Cockburn, however. dares to
attack the popular veil. but with fine
cunning he seeks to cajole the WON

that there is nothing more beautiful

BIG HALEY RANCH DEAL.

A real estate transaction Of more
than usual interest was concluded
Saturday between the Idaho State
Life Insurance company and Dave
6. Devine of Haley, Idaho, when
title to the old Leo Cramer ranch in
Blaine county passed from the in
surance company to Mr.. Devine.
The reported consideration is s25,-
900, this whole amount having been
paid in cash.
Mr.. Devine has recently moved to
Idaho from Pueblo, Colo, and con-
templates engaging in the stock
business on a large scale. The
ranch contains about 1000 acres
and is said to be one of the most
attractive stock propositions in the
state. The Idaho State Life ac-
quired this property as a result of
the failure of the Haley bank sew
eral years ago and now sells it at a
handsome figure which returns them
their full investment. Few sales Of
this magnitude with cash considera-
tions have been made in Idaho re-

Senatorial aspirants for the posi-
ton now being sociably filled by
L. S. Senator, Jas. H. Brady, are
already in the field. 1t is well un-
derstood that Former Gov. Gooding
will be candidate for the position
before the next legislature. In the
hopes that the next legislature may
be democratic, Hon. Jno. F. .Nugent
has announced his candidacy, and
it is also understood that former
Gov. Hawley will also enter the
primaries as a candidate for the
nomination.

NEW METHOD OF COLLECTING

A recent Pocatello dispatch says:

joining them from paying any mon

months ago the company, which is
a Kuhn interest and a good asset,
was sued by various parties for dam
ages sustained to their land through
flooding caused by backwater from
the power dam at American Falls.
The company suggested a COM
promise on condemnation process.

pointed and the cases returned tC

WHY THERE is PROFIT IN sPUDs

f. Lee Johnson, of Murtaugh, a
pioneer of the tract, and one of our
successful ranchers, states that he
has raised potatoes every year of the
eight he has lived here, and that
the average price for the past seven
years has been 75c per hundred
This year the price will probably
average that figure. Under proper
handling the average crop on the
tract should be at least POO sack
per acre. At the average price this
would bring $50 per acre, which Is
a remarkably handsome return ever
on $500 land. 1t will cost for labor
and seed about $50 per acre to pro
duce the crop. Many fields are TIM
year bringing Il revenue of 5000 pen
acre and few will pass the S2N
mark. The time will come in ;
few years when a crop of less than
$50 to 800 sacks per acre vii
be looked on rs a partial failure
The natural increase in the popula
ton of the country will help to keel
up the price. 7. f. News.
