of the federal government, and the
necessary funds for this work are be-
ing provided by the Twin Falls canal
company and the Twin Falls North
Side Land & Water company.
With the raising of the reservoir
dam to the required height, suf-
ficient water for all purposes on both
the North and South Side tracts will
be provided and available al all
times"
We call attention to the above as
another instance wherein the Canal
Users Association on the North Side
tract has saved the settlers on this
tract another neat sum. 1t will be
remembered that the South Side pro-
jest was turned over TO the settlers
before it was completed, necessitat-
ing the settlers bonding the tract for
large sum to complete the project.
And now comes another issue of
bonds to complete a storage system
which the North Side obtained with
C0N NOSN oANtA AoA AON6Al OdlAlt
on the part of the Association.
1t will also be remembered that
an attempt was made some time ago
by the company to turn this tract
over to the settlers, but by the dill
gence exercised by the Canal Users
Association, it was shown that the
system was not completed, and their
protest was sufficient to block the
hundred thousand dollars has been
saved to the people of the tract.
There is yet work for the associa-
ton to do, and we feel that it is the
duty of every land holder on the
tract to assist the association in its
work in a financial as we'll as moral
way. 1t is safe TO say that the mon
ey expended in the completion of the
system together with the cost OF pro-
viding us with storage water, every
land holder has been saved at least
$40 per acre. and the nomina
amount required to support the as
sociation is only drop in the bucket
as compared with this.
True, the association has been
criticized on many occasions for it:
actions on particular cases, but de-
velopments later showed that the as
f sociation was right in most instanc
es. At the time the association mad,
2 its protests against patents being is
2 sued, there was a cry made agains

SHUTS OUT COMPETITION.

In an order in the case of the
Great Shoshone company against the
Idaho Power & Light company, hand
ed down by the public utilities COM
mission on Friday, the latter is pro-
hibited from entering Twin Falls.
The order is in the following words:
1T is. therefore. ordered that the
defendant. the Idaho Power & Light
company. do Immediately desist and
refrain from further constructing
any pole or wire lines in the city of
Twin Falls. state of Idaho, for the
purpose of transmitting electrical
current or electrical energy to be
furnished to the said city or the in
habitants thereof, and from doing
any act or work of any nature in
constructing or completing said pole
or wire lines for said purpose; that
1t refrain from furnishing to the city
of Twin Falls or to the inhabitants
thereof any electrical power, cur
rent or energy until further order in
the premises"
1t will be seen at once the scope OF
power invested in the commission
The controversy between these two
companies has been pending foi
months. and was partially occasionet
by the petition from the citizens o
Wendell against the discrimination
being used by the Shoshone people
1t is not likely. however, that tn,
ruling as made by the utilities com
mission will be allowed to stant
without first being passed upon b,
the courts, as the Idaho-Oregon Co
are preparing to take the matter be
fore the supreme court.
or course any freak measure
might be expected from the last leg
islature, but we do not believe tn

Federal Reserve Ready.

A Washington dispatch states that
the new federal reserve system will
begin business with a membership of
at least 1900 banks. This was ap-
parent Monday night, when at the
close of the last day on which ma
tional banks could signify their in
tention of accepting the terms OF
the currency law, less than SO of the
7493 national banks OF the country
had failed to respond favorably.
More than enough state institutions
had applied for membership to bring
the total to 1900.
Most of the institutions that have
not come into the new system are
comparatively small, and 1t is esti-
mated that 81 per cent of all the
capital and resources in the present
national bank system is represented
by those whose applications are
filed.

Although repeated applications
have been made to the state land
board to cancel the contract with the
promoting company on the King Hill
take any action for the present at
least. preferring to await the sale of
the property which is scheduled to
come off March 10th.
There does ont seem to be a rush
for these irrigation projects. as there
was no offer made on the Big Lost
River project. and it is understood
that there are no bidders in sight for
the King Hill project.
Just what the bond holders intend
to do is uncertain. That the settlers
will be protected so far as keeping
the project in shape for the delivery
of water next season was clearly
manifested when w. b. Slick of the
Click Conctruction company appear
ed before the land board and took NJ
the matter of providing for the
spring water delivery and the pro
lection OF the intrests of investors
The board assured Mr.. Slick that his
rights as well as the rights of al
other land owners and settlers on tn,
project would be safeguarded by the
state.

of the three Twin Falls irrigation
projects, the Sacramento Valley Ir-
rigation Co. and the shares of the
California & Idaho Co. or the col
lateral S per cent bonds $5,733,300
are reserved for exchange, par for
par, for the first mortgage bonds of
the California & Idaho Co., and these
bonds will be placed behind the col
lateral as security. The debts of the
subsidiaries to the banks will be dis
charged by the payment to them in
collateral bonds to the extent of 49,
100000. A novel feature in the
plan Is an arrangement whereby the
participating preferred stock, in ad-
shares with the common equally af-
ter the common gets at least 6 per
cent in any additional dividends de-
clared
Each preferred shareholder will
receive upon payment of s35, pay
able in installments. $40 in first pre-
ferred and 500 in participating pre-
| ferred stock in the new company;
each holder OF common stock will
receive SO in first preferred and
$40 in common upon payment of
$40 for each share OF old stock. Pre-
ferred stockholders who do not sub
scribe to the new preferred may Sc
cure $50 In participating preferred
shares by paying a small assessment
of IS a share and the common stock
holders, upon payment of SO cents
a share. will receive $40 In common.
These provisions were inserted in
the plan at the last moment.
"A syndicate has been formed to
underwrite the securities not sub
scribed for by the shareholders and
will receive a commission of $3.50
900.
1T is estimated that the earnings
OF the new company in the first year
OF operations will be close to $3.50
900 In excess of dividend on the
first preferred and the bond inter
est"
1t will at once be seen that the
mere granting OF extensions to en-
trymen on the North Side tract is o
far greater magnitude than one no
lversed in finances and the conditions
OF the Kuhn's interests can imagine
That 1t Will come, however. In yer,
short time we have no reasons L
doubt, and "A recent letter from Mr.
Shepherd to Attorney Johnson state
that he expects matters TO be all set
tied up within few days.
We can only wait the culmina
tion OF these large financial transac
tions with patience. feeling assure'
from all advices received that the
will be consumated. and that on
settlers will get the extensions unde
, the terms as proposed. no matte
what the termination of these nego
tiations may be. In fact so sanguin
are we OF this that we are temple
to advise contract holders to max
no arrangements to meet their pay
ments this year but to use the none
for the further development of thei
. holdings.

The election called to select man
to be recommended for the position
as postmaster at Boise, was held
last Saturday, and the result was a
sweeping victory for the Hawley
wing of the party, as Mr.. p. NJ. Da-
Wis won by handsome majority
over all other candidates. On account
of the strong rivalry there between
the candidates, National Committee
man Elder refused to recommend
anyone and left It to the democrats
OF that city to settle the matter by
an election.

DR.. Solomon Soils Cohen will be chair
man Of the meeting <and many Of tn,
most prominent Jews in the city are ex
pected to attend and contribute.
This is the first Of series Of meetings
that will be held in the leading cities oi
America where the attitude Of the Jews
toward the war will be discussed
II do not care TO discuss the question
as to who Is right and who ls wrong in
this war" said DR.. Levin. Nor do I
hold that public opinion is always right.
That is separate question. What do
wish to point out, however, Is how far
the nations are forced, when they find
themselves In a dangerous position, to
take into consideration the power OF the
worlds opinion. You may go contrary
to 1t In times of peace, but when a catas-
trophe comes, one becomes more plant,
because the entire world sits in judg-
old debts.
LAS an example we see that even the
Russian Government has suddenly be-
come sensitive and alive to the fact that
Jewish soldiers are sacrificing their lives
In this war. This war was necessary in
order to open its eyes to see that seven
million Jews in its domains are also
human beings AT present, however, the
Russian Government Is making only
promises, and these under a blind ad-
dress She has them announced through
anonymous sources in Copenhagen. But
this is characteristic of war times. Even
the great bear has bestirred itself and
begun to heed public opinion"
Speaking of the attitude Of the Jews
throughout the world to the war, he
said.
But as the Jews are scattered through
out the world, and they must fight
brother against brother, it is quite hard
to apportion their sympathies 1t is al
most commendable that Germany Is not
with the Russian Jewish SOL
diers. and Russia with its German and
Austrian Jewish soldiers. England. how
ever, desires greatly that all Jews who
are not taking a definite side in the war
should sympathize with England and
with England's cause.
1T appears strange that at this time
there Is no united Jewish public opinion
on the present war. The Jewish opinion
is greatly scattered because the Jewish
nation is scattered"
DR.. Levin also spoke OF the terrible
conditions In Palestine as result of the
war. Palestine is dependent for its ex-
tstence upon the rest of the world And
when the rest of the world Ia at war
there Is nothing left for the Jews in
Palestine except starvation.

SUGAR IN VAST SUPPLY
Warehouses overstocked by Recent
Shipments From Hawaii.

Sugar warehouses of this port are
stocked to the limit by recent arrivals of
enormous quantities OF the raw product.
So great has been the pressure that in

to make use OF various piers along the
water front for storing the cargoes.

of the product is admitted duty free.

IN VERY PRIMITIVE Annoy
Finest Rice In China Grown in Prov
Ince Where Customs Never
Change-Dearth Of Men.

London.-The inhabitants of Annoy
plant and reap their crops as they
have done for centuries, and manu-
facture products in the same way.
The results are not bad, however, for
about 80 miles from Annoy the finest
rice in China is grown. Here also is
the soil particularly adapted to the
Chinese lily.
Almost all of the cultivation of the
soil is done by hand. The rice plants
are transplanted by hand and the
fields frequently weeded in the same
way. If a farmer has some surplus
plants he throws them in an unused
corner near well and those who lack
enough for their planting may have
them for the asking.
Such implements as are in use are
extremely crude The native pillow
does little more than scratch the sur
face, and the simple and inexpensive
harrow is usually drawn by an Indian
COW or bullock or sometimes by the
water. buffalo. Horses and donkeys are
rarely used.
The emigration from this district
has been very heavy, and the male
population Of whole villages is large
ly limited to old men and boys. Wo-
men are to be found whose husbands
left for the South soon after marriage
and have hardly been heard of since.
Occasionally they return after years
of absence and purchase or adopt a
son for their Chinese wife, so that
their ancestors may be revered and
they themselves have some one to

Natives of Annoy.

look after their graves. Having thus
provided for the future, they go back
to their adopted land and return to
China only to die on their native soil.
In many cases they never return, and
their wives wait patiently in vain year
after year.
On the highest point of a mountain
at the entrance to the Annoy Harbor
stands pagoda, more than 1900 feet
above the sea and visible for miles.
This pagoda, called the Southern SEN
tinel, is said to have been erected by
faithful wife that her husband,
whose return she had awaited in vain,
might know that she had been mindful
of him if he came back after her
death.
