this section of Idaho appreciate the

cation is also to be commended for
their earnestness and energy.

BIG SHIPMENT OF IDAHO
HORSES TO EUROPE
More Than 1900 Animals N W Assem-
bled for Use of Allies.

More than 1900 head of horses that
are suitable for army purposes are
quartered in Caldwell and will be
shipped to Europe for use of the allies
within the next 30 days. The horses
are assembled by Turner, Haley &
Smeed Bros, the local dealers, and it
is said to be the largest number ever
gathered at one inspection point in the
west. Buyers are still in the field and
it is expected that before the inspec-
ton is held the number on hand will
be materially increased.
The Oregon Short Line began Mon
day assembling cars at Caldwell to
handle the shipment, which will total
approximately so cars, necessitating a
special train.
Negotiations are now in progress
with Great Britain for the establish
ment of a permanent inspection board
in Caldwell That this will be done in
the event of war being continued is
the opinion of local horsemen familiar
with conditions. 1t is thought that
the board will be located here early in
the spring.

NEW CONTRACT MEANS
SAVING OF $4,000
PIONEER DISTRICT

TIL Board of doctors of the Pioneer
Irrigation District had meeting
Thursday of this week and passed res
olutions with reference to the supple
mental contract which the District de-
sires to get from the United States of
America, which contract provides for
the payment for the construction of its
drainage system and for the interest
purchased by the District in Arrow
rock reservoir in 20 annual payments,
instead OF ten, as provided by the orig
inal contract. On account of the cost
of the Arrowrock Dam being so much
less than the estimated cost, the cost
to the Pioneer of its interest therein
will not exceed $500, 666.67, instead of
$560000. The District will have the
same amount of storage capacity as
originally contemplated which is So
$50 of the entire capacity. The supple
mental contract provides that in case
the dam costs less than the present
estimate, the Pioneer District is to be
credited with its proportion of the
reduction. There is little doubt that
it will cost the Pioneer considerably
less than the $500, 666.67 in the end, but
even this reduction means saving OF
more than 100000 to the P. l. d.
The storage waters purchased by
the P. |. d. are to be used by the
Pioneer District during the latter
part Of May and the month of Au-
gust, at the time when the water i'll
the Boise river is lowest.

JUDGE KING APPROVES
NEW CONTRACT WITH
PIONEER DISTRICT

Judge Will R. King, chief cou,so,
OF the Reclamation Service and one
OF the Board of Irrigation Connie
sloners appointed by Secretary Tane
OF the Interior Department was IN
caldwell last Thursday, and with The
directors inspected the Black CANYON
Irrigation District y o''
Judge King is one of the four Off
Gals OF the Reclamation Service who
constitute board of commissioner
tor the purpose of considering ali
questions of administrative policV and
management and recommending action
thereon to the Secretary of the In
terror. The other members besides
Judge King, composing this Commits
sion, are A. P. Davis, w. A. Ryan and
|. D. O'Donnell.
Judge King expressed himself as
pleased with the lands within the
Black Canyon and stated the next
time 1t was mentioned he would have
a mental picture of the land. He said
that the district comprised some of
the very best lands that lie out of
doors.
He is recognized as one of the most
able lawyers in the Northwest. His
practice extended over Oregon, por-
tions of Idaho and of Washington, be-
fore his appointment to the Supreme
Bench of Oregon. He was member
of the law firm of King & Brook, of
Ontario, and RAIDER & King, Of Walla
Walla, Washington. While on the
Supreme Bench, Judge King wrote
opinions on many important cases.
The opinion which is principally in
teresting to the people of this country
is that in the case of Hough VS.. Por-
ter, 90 Pac. 1888 and 102. Pac 1928,
which is considered by far the most
comprehensive of any written on the
subject that the doctrine of riparian
rights, when applied to irrigation. was
abrogated by the Desert Land Act of
1877. That opinion was afterwards,
BY the Legislature of Oregon, printed
and circulated as public document,
and is regarded to some extent as a
text book on water rights, and is used
as such in Michigan University. 1t
was favorably commented upon by the
u. S. Supreme Court, 2l3 u. S. 344.
He is friend of the Northwest,
and particularly of the man who is on
the land While in Idaho, as mem
Der of the commission, he approved
the supplemental contract of the Pho
neer Irrigation District, allowing the
district twenty years within which to
pay for drainage and their portion Of
the Arrowrock storage capacity, and
said contract has been sent to Wash
ington, to be passed on by other
members.
Secretary Lane, in desiring to gath
er around him men who are in sym
pathy with his idea of helping the
man who is on the land, could have
found no better man to appoint as
member of the Reclamation Commis-
sion than Will R. King.

needed cause and have issued call to
all organizations as we'll as all indivi-

their club rooms in the Library, Jan.
4th, to consider the organization of a
Board of Associated Charities.
1t is evident that there will be some
suffering during the winter and in or
der that what can be given may be
distributed wisely, the organization OF
such a board is deemed expedient.
the ladies of the club do not want it
understood that they are to manage
the affair-they merely want to get the
matter before the people and see that
action is taken in due time for efic-
