$500 Per Year

until the proposition was received
from the bondholders for an extern
sion of the payments, when a request
was made that the decision be with
held for a time.
Several of the points In the case
have since been decided by Judge
Walters In cases that we're tried be-
fore him at Gooding, but the Ques-
tion of interest for the years mem
toned has never been touched upon,
and it is for this reason that a deci-
sion Is now demanded. 1t Is we'll
known that a great many settlers
for failure to get water in 1909 and
10, and had signed releases of all
claims against the company. Others
had procured extensions upon agree
ment to pay the interest, and 1t was
the opinion of the Association attor-
ney at that time that it was very
doubtful whether any Of these set
tiers could make a successful contest
against the interest
From a representative of the old
company we learn that there were
between three and four hundred set
tiers who made settlement in one way
or another, so if the Ransom case
was decided in favor of the settler
| and the above contentious held, there
would be but very few Of the actual
settlers on the tract that would bene-
| fit by this decision. But as there are
several who have made no settlement
whatever and have kept their pay
ments up, it is probably just as we'll
that the decision be rendered, as it
will have very little bearing on the
new proposition now before the set
tiers.

A TEST CASE.

Suit was filed in the District Court OF
Lincoln county this week by Attorney
Martin, representing the plaintiff, in
case entitled John NJ. Duff vs. The Twin
Falls North Side Land & Water Co.
This suit is brought to quiet tile to lands
purchased from the defendant company
under what is known as the "B' con-
tract. 1t is in the nature Of test case.
and is SO considered by both parties to
the action, and by agreement will be
rushed through to final decision.

COMPARATIVE STATEMENT.

So many erroneous statements
have been made regarding the saving
that would be realized by a settler In
signing the application for an extern
sion, the compa.S have prepared the
following comparative statement
which will be of interest to every en-
tryman especially to those who have
made only the initial payment. From
these figures, it is easy for any set
tier to determine just what his pres
ent Indebtedness to the company
amounts to, and the saving he will
make by waiving the two per cent
penalty interest. While at first
glance two per cent seems an insig-
nificant sum, 1t will readily be seen
that 1t amounts to quite a sum In the
course of few years, and the fact
that you are still saving this two per
cent for the next FIVE years. is an item
worthy of consideration. The state
ment is as follows:
Where settler has forty acres and
made has only the initial payment, the
company makes the following compu-
tation:
Principal debt, 40 acres at ~
$32. 90 -$l2S0.O
Interest at 8 per cent from
April l, 1909, to March l, 1914 5O3.47
Due March l, 1914 -$l783.H
In the extension agreement the COM
pany valves the extra 2 per cent pen
atty for default and computes the in
terest at straight 6 per cent as follows;
Principal debt, 40 acres at
S3Z. w W-------- -3lZoo.U
Interest at 6 per cent from
April l, 1909, to March l, 1914 3T.6O

CLEANUP! PAlNT-UP!

A well appearing town is generally
good town. Certainly it is the sort of
town that impresses the newcomer
most favorably.
Unsightly streets and alleys, filthy
front yards and filthy back yards as
well, unkept lawns and weeds growing
to waste, heaps of garbage and refuse
certainly produce upon the stranger
the sort of impression that Oakland
does not want to produce, in addition to
the far more serious menace that they
constitute to the health and happiness
of the community.
A clean up campaign, waged in every
part of the city. will do wonders in i'm
proving the appearance of the city and
in adding to the health of the commun-
nifty.
By the same token the house that is
freshly painted, that presents an at
tractive outward. appearance, is a far
greater asset than the same house when
the paint has vanished, or is discolored
or is sealing off. If your house needs
it, paint up, as we'll as clean up. 1t will
add to the value of your property and
your neighbours property. twill make
you more comfortable and better

plans for the cemetery fence the COM
mittee was unable to let the contract
until September 10th when a meeting
with the advisory board was held and
Mr.. Coddington's bid of $500 was
unanimously accepted.
/ Work at the quarry was begun at
once, but the rainy and freezing wealth
er and the early winter made it not
only inadvisahle but almost impos-
sible to continue the work last fall.
The material is practically all on the
ground and as soon as weather con-
ditions are. favorable to insure good
work, the fence will be commenced
and carried to completion as rapidly as
possible.
/ 1t was hoped to have it in place by
the 30th of May.

time being $364.64 with number Of
substantial subscriptions not yet paid
The money has been bearing interest
at 3 per cent. which will augment our

THROWING SPlTBALLS.

Some good people will throw up their
hands in horror when they read the clos
ing hours Of the Maryland Legislature
were devoted principally to the throw
ing of spitballs by the supposedly staid
and dignifed lawmakers.
Why shouldent lawmakers throw
spitballs? What is there to cause
disgust, in the fact that the body Of
men picked and chosen by the people
TO manufacture and codify their gov
eminent should relax their nerves af-
ter a long period Of mental strain by
hurting wet wads of paper about the
legislative chamber? People praise
the hurting Of word bombs in legislative
halls that hurt when they hit ten times
more than an innocent spitball, but
they deplore the apparent childishness
of spitball fight between the solons.
There is perhaps no time-honored or
ancient custom that has a more sooth-
ing effect on tired nerves than a good
old-fashloned spitball battle. From the
time the knickerbockered schoolboy
YEARLY drops his book to take a sur
reptitious whack at the teachers tempt
ing bald head to the dav he throws
pillow at the doctor who tells him he
can't live two weeks, throwing things
is the great panacea for shattered
nerves.
Aside from the nerve proposition a
man who can hit the top of an unwary
legislative opponents head with spit
ball at fifty PAGES is a good legislator
and ought to be sent back for another
term. Any man who can hold his own
in free-for-al spitball battle and stand
upright while the groans of the wound
ed are filling the air around him, needn't
possess any particular qualifications of
oratory or eloquence. His position in
the legislature is assured for life.
