A. M. BOWEN ADDRESSES MEET.
ING ON IMPORTANT QUESTIONS.
Settlers Wish Directors to Continue
Negotiations With BOndhOlders-Pe-
titiOn Sent to Sen. w. E. BOrah.

More than two hundred settlers of
the SalmOn-River tract met at Hollis
ter Wednesday to take action in re-
gard to the matters pending between
the settlers and the bondholders in re-
gard to the Salmon River lands. The
meeting was held in the auditorium of
the school house and was called to or
der by A. E. Caldwell, president of the
association, who introduced A. NJ
Bowen, attorney for the association,
who fully and carefully discussed the
proposed amended proposition of the
settlers to the bondholders, pointing
>,put the gain to both sides to be made
N settlement along the proposed lines.
The meeting then adjourned until
one o'clock, when Mr.. Bowen again
took the floor and briefly outlined the
procedure, should receiver be ap-
pointed. 1t was clearly pointed out
by Mr.. Bowen, that the necessary de-
lay of court procedure would very
seriously retard the settlement of the
tract and the consequent depression of
the land values. 1t was pointed out
that both the settlers and the bond
holders would be gamers by settle
ment out of court
1t was unanimously decided at the
meeting that the board of directors
should continue negotiations looking
to settlement by agreement with the
bondholders, but that in event it be-
came plain that such an agreement
could not be arrived at, then Mr.. Bow
en- was to bring an action to have re-
ceiver appointed.
At this time petitions were circu-
lated through the audience which all
the settlers signed, authorizing Mr..
Bowen to enter their names as plain
tiffs in receivers action.

the meeting that the settlers were dis

CLUB NOTES
Program Proves Very
Interesting to Members.

Conservation, which was the topic
for discussion at the Twentieth Cen
tury club Tuesday, proved most inter-
esting and instructive. Mrs. Robert
w. Spangler had charge of the pro-
gram, and the subject was treated
both nationally and locally. After the
slated talks, the members present en-
tered into spirited discussion that
brought out many new points.
Mrs. Spangler told of Senator Swee-
ley's activities in behalf of local con-
servation during his term in the state
legislature. Senator Sweeley secured
state park at Shoshone falls, and an
appropriation of $4,000. This sum was
spent In building the new grade to the
falls from the top of the rim rock. At
the same time Shoshone falls park
was set aside, bill creating Hepburn
park was also passed, and since that
time the north has asked for and re-
ceived two appropriations. Twin Falls
county, which has the great scents at
traction of the west, has been asleep,
and has not even asked for an appro-
priation. Mrs. Spangler made plea
that the club women take stand for
beautifying ShOshone falls park and
ask the representatives who are elect
ed next year to use their best efforts
to secure an appropriation The sug-
gestion was put to vote and carried
unanimously.
A discussion on state rights versus
government control of natural re-
sources was led by Mrs. p W. Nero
berts Mrs. H. w. Clouchek gave
some interesting facts in regard to
government control of forests. Mrs.
Wiker told what the Idaho senators
and representatives are doing for
state rights and conservation.
Mrs. 0. M. Elliott gave a talk ON the
forest reserves of Idaho and the wa
ter power sites, showing how rich
Idaho is in natural resources. Mrs. w.
F. Pike told of the recent Hetch-
Hetchy fight in the senate and the
part Senator Borah took, when he
read the description of Shoshone falls
as written by Judge Goodwin.
After the discussion, Mrs. Spangler
told of Congressman Frenchs efforts
to get the Sawtooth national park bill
through this session, SO that road
can be built into the park before the
1915 tourist travel begins. She also
spoke Of the organized motorists OF
the east who have this state as an
objective point in their journey to the
Panama-Pacific exposition.

Twin Falls, Idaho, Feb. 4, 1914.
Hon W. E. Borah, Washington, D. G.
Dear Sir: We, the entrymen and
settlers of Carey act segregation No.
IA, known as the Salmon River Tract,
ask that your influence be used imme-
diately with the department of the in
terror for the immediate relief of the
settlers on this tract.
The tract was segregated in 1908 by
a promotion company who were dis
appointed by errors in the calculations
of their engineers as to the amount of
water available from the source of
supply provided.
The department of the interior has
twice drawn the attention of the state
OF Idaho to the insufficiency of the
water supply.
Deliveries of water were made dur
ing the seasons Of 1911, 1912, and 1913.
Each season deepens the conviction of
everybody that the water supply is
III \ossly inadequate to supply the 80
no acres within the segregation. State
Engineer Robinson, and State Engi-
neef King have both made special re-
ports on the water supply and both
state that the water supply Is inade-
sQuate. q
Owing to the fact that there were
only 14,100 acres in cultivation durine
1912, and the stinting of the settlers
during that season to their damage,
which have been proved in every in
stance that has been tried in court. the
water company was able to save wa
ter over the season for the season of
1918.
During the last year the acreage un
der cultivation was % 100, which used
all of last years run-off and the last
two runs were made out Of the reserve
of the season before
There Is very grave danger at
present to the settlers arising from
the fact that TIE etate laws require
settlement ands final proof of these
lands within three years of notice OF
delivery. This will greatly jeopardize
still further complicate matters look
ing to the final reduction of the tract
or the acquiring Of additional water.
The promotion company has failed
and while at present the bondholders
are contemplating taking the system
over and reducing the acreage, we feel
that the necessary relief Is not yet
provided. and that negotiations would
be very much accelerated by proper
pressure brought by the department OF
~the interior. We believe that the pos
,zlbNities of getting more water for the
frect have never been fully and ex-i
haustively explored and suggest that a
geological survey engineer be nut In
the field at onre to assist the settlers.
