TWO RUNAWAYS
Mrs. William Fuller Iniured-Price
Bane's Team

There were two runaways during
the past week. One of them resulted
in the injury of Mrs William Fuller.
She was riding on the bench, near the
SPOTS farm behind team driven
by Dan Hansen. One of the horses
was an unbroken colt A tumble
weed driven by the wind across the
road frightened the horses, the tongue
of the rig fell and the occupants were
thrown out. Mrs. Fuller's nose was
broken and her face painfully bruised.
Dan was not hurt.
The other runaway, in which Price
Bane's team played the stellar role,
occurred Saturday, while they were
hauling sand for the cemetery road.
The horses ran into wire fence.
No serious damage.

ELECTRIC ROAD MAY
EXTEND
Indications Are That Interurban
Seeks to Enter
Valley

Indications are that the Boise In
terurban is planning to extend it's
lines into the Payette valley.
Within the last few weeks feelers
have been put out as to whether right
of way could be secured through sew
eral of the large ranches in this sec
ton. One rancher interviewed owns
an extensive tract of land on the
bench, which would indicate that the
road will be built through the bench
instead of down the valley. AS near
as The Index was able to learn, the
company plans to branch out from
Eagle and drop into Emmett through
the pass near Joe Helfert's ranch in
Sand Hollow. From here the road is
to cross the bench and enter the val
ley at Falk, thence to Payette and
Weiser. 1t was hinted that the COM
pany would expect farmers along the
rout to furnish right of way and grade
the road.

Local Singer Is Gifted.

At the benefit performance given
Mrs. Smith at the Electric Theater
Friday evening, Miss Lula Nelson
sang several solos and charmed every
one who was so fortunate as to be
present. She has talent as vocalist
of a high degree, possessing, in ad-
dition to exceptional musical ability,
voice of wide range and clearness,
together with powers of expression
that are wonderful. Miss Nelson is
a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Dan
Nelson of Sweet. 1t is understood
that she is endeavoring to enter the
chautauqua circuit next year.

for much less than it cost. The
taxes for interest are very light
and maintenance will hereafter
be light, though somewhat ex-
cessive for the last two years on
account of the failure in the fl
nancial plan.
Seventh. By argument or CO.
ercion the residents of the district
must be brought to see that in
terest upon this issue of bonds
must be paid, and when this is
done the 1922, 400 of bonds not
yet sold, can be placed for suffi-
cient to retire the construction
warrants, otherwise they must be
retired at an early date by direct
taxation, instead of being refund
ed into a long term Indebtedness
bearing reasonable rate of in
terest.
Eighth. The Gaebler suit in
the United States circuit court
should be pressed as rapidly as
possible to Judgment in order that
the legal status of these bonds
may be fixed and determined and
their binding obligation impress
ed upon the land owners and wa
ter users within the district.
Ninth. The bondholders must
act in concert and without hesi-
tation that the land owners and
water users of the district may
feel their determination and to
that end l specially recommend
the immediate deposit of all
bonds with the New York Trust
Company, depositarv of the Com
mittee.
Tenth. That the committee be
authorized to borrow moneys or
to use the coupons of such bonds
to purchase delinquent tax GER
tificates within the district.

PACIFIC
BUYS G. & P. r. r.
Will Give n. P. the Shortest Line to
Pacific Coast.

st. Paul-The purchase of the Gil
more & Pacific railroad in Montana
and Idaho, which will give the Nor
thern Pacific the shortest line from
the twin cities to the Pacific coast,
was announced Saturday by j. M.
Hannaford. The road was built a
short time ago at a cost of more
than Is million dollars. The North
ern Pacific will not own the entire
capital stock, but enough to control
it.
'To prevent this road from pass
ing into other hands, the Northern
Pacific has obtained CONTROL" said
Mr.. Hannaford. while it will be
managed as an Independent company,
it's policy will be fixed by the North
ern Pacific. No extensions are con-
templated.
The road runs between Armsted,
Mont, on the Oregon Short Line, and
Gilmore, Idaho. About five years ago
a survey for an extension of this road
down the south fork to Emmett was
made under the direction, it was re-
ported at the time, of the Northern
Pacific.

COMMITTEE REPORT ON
{. |. D. BONDS
Recommends That Bondho,ders
Purchase Tax Certificates
of Irrigation District.

The office of the Emmett lrrlga-
ton District is in receipt of two
pamphlets that will be of interest to
the water users and owners OF land
under the Canyon canal because they
give an insight into the manner IN
which the bondholders view the bond
situation and the possible course that
will be pursued in settling the ques-
tions concerning the bonds that have
been for sometime in controversy.
One of the pamphlets is entitled a
"Bondholders' Agreement" submitted
by a committee, which it is inferred
represent the holders of Emmett lrrl-
CATION District bonds, and the other
pamphlet is a report of the result OF
the committees Investigations and
their recommendations. The commit
tee is composed of Edmund Seymour,
a bond broker of New York City; j..
Paul Thompson, bondholder OF
Cleveland, Ohio, and DR.. A. N. Gaeb-
Ter, owner OIL one VI Illc ihSoN
acre apple and prune orchards on the
bench, and probably also an extensive
bondholder, of st Louis. These gen
tlemen are of such prominence and
business stability that the movement
they have inaugurated to bring order
out of chaos in the bond matter must
be taken seriously.
The "Bondholders' Agreement" has
for its object the deposit of all out
standing bonds of the district with
the New York Trust Company, IN
order that the Committee may have
collateral available should it prove
advisable or necessary to borrow
moneys for the purchase of tax GER
tifcates within said Emmett lrriga-
ton District, or for any other pur-
pose herein cited"
The Agreement gives the Commit
tee power to do whatever I'm It's dis
cretion it may deem expedient to
preserve, protect, guard, secure and
enforce the rights and interests OF
the depositors."

The Report.

The report of the Committee and
its recommendations take up Ii print
ed pages. 1t starts out with con-
else history of the Canyon canal from
the time it was projected in 1900 to
the present time. Then follows a
statement of the acreage in the dis
trict and the assets and liabilities,
together with the salient features OF
the first and second contracts made
with j. ]. Corkill & Co. for the sale
of the bonds. Under the recital OF
the terms of the second Corklll con-
tract. the commission for the sale
of the bonds is given as $175,525. AS
this commission has been an obstacle
in the settlement of the bond contro-
yersy, the footnote appended to this
part of the report will be of interest.
1t reads:
Corkill & Co. contend that the
item of $175,525 is incorrectly
noted as commissions, stating
that it was received by them for
services in effecting the exchange
and for the surrender to the lrl-
rigation District of the claim OF
Trowbridge & Niver Co. to the
stock of the Canal Company and
for cash and other property, ad-
vances made by them.
Then follows a recital of how the
district planned to spend the money
from the sale of the bonds, and how,
sowing to the inability of Corkhill q
Co. to sell all the bonds made it neces-
sary to issue construction and main
tenance per cent warrants"
Continuing, this portion of the re-
port says:
Whether it was wise or unwise
to have completed the rehabilita-
ton of the irrigation system be-
fore the money was in hand from
the sale of the bonds, the ex-
pense was incurred and the in
habitants of the district are be-
ing heavily taxed for an emer-
gency 1t is easy to understand
how in the face of such heavy
and special taxation some of them
cast about for some excuse to
escape or put off further taxa
ton.
August 13, 1918, Emmett Irri-
cation District by its Board of
Directors levied a tax for the
purpose of paying the bond in
terest for the year 1914. About
S6500 has been paid. The re-
mainder, representing large

TO SAND MORE STREETS
Second Street to be Treated-Also
West Main

The street sanding fever is spread
ing. Several blocks on Second street,
from Johns avenue west, are to be
sanded at once, and it is hoped that
the entire street will be thus improved
this year.
On West Main street, John McNish
and Dave Murray have understaken
the job of sanding from the canal
west to the county road, which has
been put in good condition by Road
Supervisor Cantral and his constitu-
ents. All of which is fine work.
