DEPUTIES DRAW FULL PAY

Judge Bulge made a ruling last
Saturday in the cases of the court
house deputii who had their salar-
les cut by the county commissioners,
in which he doubts his jurisdiction
in the case, and remands it back to
the commissioner fer a hearing. In
the meantime the deputies will draw
their full salaries until such time. as
the commissioners cite them to
appear and show why their salaries
should not be diminished. If they
fail to convince the commission rs
that they cannot legally cut their
salaries then the deputies, according
to Jude Budgu's ruling, can appeal to
the court for the desired protection.

The sale of the Big Lost river ir-
rigation project which was to have
taken place last Saturday at Haley
has been postponed to April 4. This
announcement was authoritatively
made today by James E. Clinton Jr.
receiver for the project. The rea-
son assigned for the postponement is
that the Utah Construction company,
which proposes to make a bid on IT.,
does not desire to invest it's money
in the project until tha state engineer
has passed upon the Mackay dam site
as to whether or not it is safe and If
not safe wherd there is another suit
able site where a dam can be- erect I'd
for the impounding ofwater with which
to irrigate the land included within
the project. The decision to author
ize State Enginter King to make an
immediate investigation of the site
was, as previously announced, reached
yesterday. He will have a force in
the field by the early part off the
coming week.
What Situation is
In postponing the sale it will only
be put off about three weeks and
that viii give tina engineer time in
which to make his report" said Re-
ceiver Clinton. THE date that has
been set for the sale from todays
postponl ;ment is April T."
The situation that confronts the
prospective bidders, the Utah Con-
struction company, as given out by
Judge H. H. Henderson, counsel for
Corey Bros. Construction company of
Utah since. they became legally in
volved in the project is contained
in an interview secur>d from him to-
day. He said:
"The sale Of the project 80 far as
the Utah Construction company
which proposes in taking it over to
invest it's own or. we might say, To-
cal money! is concerned, revolves en-
tirely upon the dam site II the pre-
sent dam site where the Mackay dam
is now located is all right and the
state engineer so reports, then it will
bid in the project and complete it ra-
pidly. If the Mackay dam is not
safe and is not the place for the dam
then another site must be found. If

Moss Mercantile company, which is
still one of the prosperous business
houses Of that town.
Since the establishment of Payettc
Mr.. Moss has always been an active
worker in the interests of the city and
community at large. He was a pioneer
in ditch and road building in that Sec
ton, was president of the First Ma.
tfonal bank at the time of his death
and was prominent among the organ
izers of the Idaho State Banking asso-
citation. He was president Of the
school board of the Payette district
for many years and for nearly eight
years had been chairman of the board
Of trustees of the Blackfoot insane
asylum.
Candidate for Governor
In politics Mr.. Moss was a Republi-
can and was a candidate for governor
on that ticket at the time Governor
Steunenberg was elected chief execu-
tive.
There was no enterprises started in
Payette in which he did not take
part and through his activity in buss
ness lines became one Of the best
known men in this section Of the
state and one who was highly respect
ed and looked up to in every branch Of
business in which he took part.
Mr.. Moss, who, with his brother
founded the city Of Payette, knew
when he drove the first stakes in the
dirt Of that fertile valley that it was
destined to become thriving Sec
ton of Idaho, and that his foresight
into the future was we'll founded is
shown by the statement made by him
shortly after the birth of the new
town, which was as follows: Il tra-
veled in Colorado in 1866, when it
was less advanced than Idaho Is TO-
day. Colorado Is now a rich and popu-
lous state, yet it has never had any
more advantages to offer than has
Idaho, and particularly the Payette
valley. Therefore, look to see this
valley support a population of $4,000
people; l look to see town within
its borders OF 10000 people inside of

NAME UNOFFICIAL FOUR
TO DEFEND DAVIS CUP
Mclaughlin. Williams, Bchr

American Players.

Tho Davis cup committee OF arrange
chairman; George A. Adeo and n. W.
Slocum, announced yesterday that Maurice
f.. Mclaughlin. Il. Norris williams %.
Thomas G. Bundy and Karl II. Behr
had been selected to defend the inter-
ship matches to be held on August 10. 4
and 10 on the new turf courts at Forest
Hills. The members of the team. Chair
man Wrenn said, will come to this city
and begin active training directly after
the LongwoOd tournament Is over.
Chairman Wrenn had no comment 10
make about the official confirmation of the
unofficial selections. which do not seem "a
meet with the approval of many who have
seen them play The team. II is thought
needs another singles player, and either
II. Lindley Murray Of California or Will
lam NJ. Johnston, another coast player
and holder of the Longwood singles cup
seemed slated for the honor. Roth Bundy
and Behr are at their best In doubles
but are not strong enough as a pair to
be depended upon.
1t was runored that Mclaughlin said
he could not play his best with Behr. as he
does not know his game as well as he
knows that of Bundy Mr.. Nrenn said
nothing about his denial of the report
from Boston yesterday that the -four

Theodore X. Pell, swept the country and
did not meet defeat with the exception OF

VANITIE TRIES OUT LOT
OF NEW AND OLD SAILS
Those Already Used Are Recut
Allowance to Rcsolutc May
Be Barely a Minute.

Tho Nanit!e was out sailing yesterday
and trying out now headsals She also
tried some of her older ones that have
been rccut When she races again she
will have a better lot of sails than III
any Of her former races and also spars
suitable for all conditions. Her aluminium
club topsail spars and gaft have been
tested thoroughly and have done well.
She has hollow wooden gaft that also
will be useful under certain conditions
and she has a hollow tubular steer poom
and gan and hollow wooden boom
Just at present IL is questionable whlch
i. tho he,ter of the two booms The
wooden one has acted well and some In
terested in the yacht want it used through
out the whole season. Others wish the
steel spar tried.
The steel spar has its drawbacks.
Swinging as II does over the compass
II rather interferes with the accurate
navigation of the yacht. 1t would be a
rather Intricate Job to work out the errors
OF compass with the boom swinging over
II. The error would change with almost
every angle to which the boom was eased
and IL might be detrimental to plotting
the course OF the yacht, especially IN q
fog. This spar, however. liz to be tried
out II was shipped on board ,sterday
and will be used In to-day's sailing. and
those on the yacht will study 1t care
an accident to the wooden spar.
Some changes have been made in the
trim and shape OF the sails which have
reduced the Vanitie's rating trihe ana cut
down the allowance about five seconds
Further changes are contemplated winch
will make a stlll further reduction IN
the time At the same time the sail
spread Of the Resolute has been increased
slightly and II is probable that when The
two yachts meet next the allowance VII
be cut down to very close To a minute
unless Herreshoff decides TO try out tht
single head rig again. This Is what, h Is
said, he intends TO do. II is possible that
he may put "A larger 1ib on the yach'
| and try the experiment of single heat
/ sail carried on a hOwsprit, as was triet
on the Shamrock ". This scheme If II
worked well would allow the yacht Z
/ carry a large spinnaker and balloon )il
topsail when off the wind. but at thu
same time Il would not reduce her ratin'
as tho single jib set on the stem hea'
did
I Tho Resolute II hauled out nj Bristo
and her mast has been removed. Thi
reyives the rumors OF structural weak
ness which have been circulating sine
the yacht was launched.
The Defiance is TO haul out AT Jacob
ward at City Island on Saturday for
thorough cleaning and painting Her whit
| underhody has stood well and she Is SUI
very clean In spite OF the time she ha
been in the water, The Nanite Will hau
next Monday and have her underbod
FURNISHED and when che Is put In IN

thoroughly seasoned.
