San Francisco, CAL, Feb. 6.-San
Francisco has a 14-year-old girl who
aspires to startle the swimming
world. She is Dorothy Becker,
school girl and all around athlete.
She is considered one of the most
remarkable girl swimmers who ever
splashed around in bathing suit.
Her conquests are varied and many.
She lost only one important race
the 5O-yard event, to Dolly hinges OF
Los Angeles last summer. But the
question of bad start was brought
up at the time.
Miss Becker will meet Ruth Pay
son Stacker of Honolulu in a spe-
cial 50-yard race and will also enter
the other races up to 100 yards dur
ing a water carnival there Feb. 20
and 81. The Honolulu girl is the
American record holder for SO yards,
with 81 seconds.
Besides being a swimmer, MISS
Becker is an expert fancy diver, and
will enter the diving contests for girls
in the meet. She is widely known
in local swimming circles and has
often given exhibitions of her
prowess.

Auto Accidents.


There has been several quite seri-
Gus auto accidents during the past
week, one of which is reported as
proving fatal. We note elsewhere
the accident which befel Mr. Law
renee On Monday evening upon re-
turning from Twin Falls, Mr.. Brown,
of Shoshone, who was driving a car
down the Shoshone grade, lost con-
troll of the machine and instructing
the other occupants of the car to
jump, he headed the machine into
the bank, with the result that it ov
erturned throwing the occupants and
injuring them quite badly so that
they had to be taken to the hospital
at Twin Falls.
On Tuesday evening, when return
ing from Shoshone. Mr.. Henry Hall
with other parties came upon an
auto wreck just this side of Shoshone
where there is a grade in the road.
The machine lay some 90 feet from
the road, turned bottom side up and
literally torn to pieces. Two men
were found with the machine badly
injured, and they were taken to the
hospital at Shoshone, where from
reports received yesterday, one OF
the injured died. We understand
the unfortunate man was a stranger
in this section and was demonstrat-
ing the Studebaker car, using the
car belonging to DR.. Dill at the time
of the accident.

WHAT Is AVAILABILITY?

N1AI II \
The supreme court OF the state
handed down quite an important de-
cision last week which will be of in
terest to all Carey Act land holders
The case at hand was brought against
the Murphy Irrigation Co and is en-
titled Childs VS.. Neitzel The report
OF the case is given as follows by the
Capital News:
"Childs brought the action origi-
nally to oust the board OF directors
of the Murphy Land & Irrigation Co.
and to have a certain mortgage, exc
cuted by the company to Neitzel, can
celled and held as void. He also
asked for an accounting for the ap-
pointment OF receiver to take
charge of the project for the purpose
OF conserving it for the benefit OF the
corporation and the creditors and all
other parties having an interest In IT.,
asking that the receiver have full
management of the business of the
company under the order and direc-
tion OF the court. Many of those
holding contracts for water from the
corporation interyened later in the
action. filing complaint in an inter
vention. They represented about
$500 acres of land out of a total of
5000 acres in the project. II. X.
Neitzel was the controlling spirit of
the corporation, which became de-
funct. The district appointed re-
ceiver for the project in former State
Engineer Robinson, who took charge
of II. Judge Davis also handed down
an important ruling relative to the
obligations of the promoters to the
water right purchasers. The case
was appealed and decided by the
court. In its syllabus. the supreme
court holds:
"First-Held. under the watef
right contracts involved in this cast
the deferred payments for such wa
ter rights do not become due unit
: water is made available for the rec
p lamation and irrigation of the land
as provided by the terms of such con
tract: and when the water is mad
so available. the deferred payment
become a lien on the land and tn
= water right"
The question OF what constitute
availability of water is still a yer
y unsettled question among Carey AZ
: holders, as we believe there has bee
o no decision touching directly upo
e this question. 1t has been conten'
% ed that mere flow OF water in
5, ditch does not constitute availabilit
n unless Il is so constructed as to l
p rigate and reclaim the land under
y without an unreasonable expense
s. the owner. In the case of Colin
ie vs.. the North Side Co., recently tri'
5, at Gooding, II was shown that viii
a there was plenty of water In Il
ditch. II was not available to the laI
~ for the reason that the water was t
of low. and il was the duty of the col
u many to put a check in the stream
In make the water available, and q
~ court so held. So while the above d
n cision is plain as regards the deft
q red payments. II does not clearly q
ke fine availability.
