NORTH SIDE MATTERS.
Cents Per Acre Levied for the
Winter Period.

The fears of those of the settlers
who were trembling over what might
be expected if the Company were
given the privilege of charging actual
maintenance cost, may now be ap-
peased to a certain extent at least,
by the receipt of the assessment not
ice for the period from November
first to April 1st, next which calls for
10 cents per acre. AS has been ex-
planned heretofore the assessments
are hereafter to be paid in two in
stallments. on November 1st and
April 1st, under the conditions of the
Extension Agreement
Accompanied with the notice of as
sessment is a circular letter from Mr.
r. +. Shepherd, explaining conditions
on the tract at the present time, and
from which we take the liberty of
abstracting the following:
Il am pleased TO inform you that
the extension agreement has met
with a cordial reception and is being
| signed up by entrymen. both resident
an nonresident, about as fast as our
office can turn them out. Under this
extension agreement the settlers on
the tract are proceeding with renew
ed hope and confidence, and under
the cultivation requirement of such
agreement we look for a very largely
increased farm development the com
ing season. with its resultant pros
perity for the tract.
Work on the Jackson Lake Reser-
voir. which is to give the North Side
project a permanent and unexcelled
water right, has progressed even
more rapidly during this year than
the government originally estimated.
The funds necessary for the compile
ton of that important work are be-
ing provided by the Bondholders'
Protective Committee. 1t is conf
IDENTIFY expected that the dam at
Jackson Lake will be completed by
the fall of 1915. a large force of
men and teams have been employed
since October 18th, making repairs
and improvements on the canal, and
will be continued until the system is
completed. Entrymen are being CIV
en- preference in the employment of
men and teams for doing this work
and will thus have opportunity TO
work out a considerable portion or
their maintenance and interest pay
ments. With the completion of this
work you will have a canal system
which will be second to none.
10 Of Pnord ~
Directors of the North Side Canal
Co.. Ltd. held at Miner, Idaho, on
the 18th inst, two settlers who had
been nominated by the entrymen on
the tract were elected to the Board
of Directors. Mr.. F. w Hastings
representing the Wendell district
and Mr.. Orson J. Wilson. represent
ing the Jerome district. Thus the
settlers will have their own represen
tatives on that important board anC
will be fully advised of all proceed
ings. These representatives of the
settlers will have voice in deciding
upon all expenditures which are t,
be included in the actual cost o
maintenance.
