construction of power and light
wires in the state.
Sets of proposed regulations
have been submitted by the Amer
lean Telephone & Telegraph Co.
of New York, the Oregon Short
Line, the o. w. r. & N. and the
Power & Light Mems Association.
The hearing on the matter will
come up before the commissnon
in Boise, in January, at which
time all of the interested indi-
viduals and corporations will be
given a hearing and will be per-
United to state their objections to
the proposed regulations.
This hearing is sequel to
that which was held last July"
said Mr.. Clark, "at which time
the American Telephone & Tele-
graph Co., through its subsidiar-
les in this section, the Mountain
states Telephone & Telegraph
Company, and the Pacific Tele-
phone & Telegraph Company sub
mitted a proposed order to the
commission.
This order would have COM
PEELED the power interests of Ida
no to ship into the state eastern
poles, as the use of Idaho cedar
would have been prohibited and
for this and other reasons the
power people of Idaho objected
most strenuously to the promul-
cation of the order with the re-
suit that the commission post
poned the hearing and instructed
the different interests to submit
regulations for consideration
which would provide for the safe
ty Of the employees and the pub
lie.
While the new regulations
submitted by the American Tele-
phone & Telegraph Company do
not prohibit the use of the Idaho
cedar, the power people claim
that many of the requirements
are unnecessary for safety and
will increase construction costs
so as to make prohibitive the

Sneak thieves have been busy
in the city again. Friday even
ing the residence of f. E. Wood
ward was broken into and a small
amount of money and a valuable
ring stolen. The robbery oc-
CURED between four and six
O'Clock. About four o'clock Mrs
Woodward left the house to as
sist her husband in the store.
When they returned after clos
ing the store at six O'Clock they
found that the house had been
broken into. The thief had
gained an entrance by cutting
out the screen and raising a bed
room window.
Mrs Woodward had been saw
ing all the buffalo nickels she
could find in her husbands cash
drawer and has hidden them in
q vase. The thief took the vase
and the money, amounting to
five or six dollars. He had also
ransacked the dressing table and
taken a ring with a three emer-
aid setting belonging to Mrs
Woodward, which was valued at
eighty dollars.
Sunday evening during church
services the Methodist parsonage
was broken into. Entrance was
gained in the same manner as
at the Woodwork residence and
a small amount of money taken.
The Sunday School has a bank
in which the scholars put what
is called the birthday fund for
missions, that is, they drop into
the bank pennies to the number
of their birthdays. This bank
which contained two or three
dollars in pennies was taken.
Mr.. Monroe's little girl had a
bank in which she put the little
sums given her. This was also
taken. The thief also broke in
to and ransacked DR.. ]. w. Ter
ry's suitcase but so far as we
could learn nothing of value was
taken.
II is also reported that dur
ing the past few days several
icars in the Milwaukee yards have
been broken into and a small
quantity OF freight taken. Il
is not thought that there is any
organized gang of thieves oper-
ating here but that this petit.

The st. Maries Gym basketball
team was defeated Friday night
by the strong Y. M. c.. A. team of
Harrison by a score of IS to %.
The score does not represent the
comparative strength of the two
teams as the st. Maries boys had
but two days practice and were
playing on a strange floor while
the Harrison team has already
played a number of games. Mul-
roney was easily the star for the
local team, making 10 out of the
IS points scored. A return
game will be played here after
the Christmas vacation at which
time a much different score can
be expected.
The local high school team
was defeated Saturday night by
the Plummer high school team
by score of i6 to ~.

Charged With
Stealing A Saddle

Thursday evening Officer Steele
and Constable Jerry McCarter ar
rested a man who gave his name
as Albert Carter on the charge of
stealing a saddle from Frank
Thierault Of st. Joe. The sad
die was stolen from Thierault's
barn at st. Joe and he first miss
ed it Thursday evening and at
once notified Chief of Police
Cherry. Cherry began search
for it and finally learned that a
man who claimed to own an in
terest in a second hand store at
Occur d'Alene had been trying to
sell a saddle at Slay & Krouse's
second hand store.
He called up the store and
learned that the man was in the
store at that time, but when he
heard Slay talking over the phone
made some excuse and left.
Thierault was notified that his
saddle was here and came down.
Later Carter returned to Slay g.
Krouse's store where he was ar
rested, and it was discovered that
he had sold the saddle at Nelson's
livery stable.
AT Carter's preliminary hear
ing before Justice Keeton he
plead not guilty and was bound
over on 500 bail for trial Dec.
IA. He put up 500 and his watch
to cover the amount and was per-
mitted to go.

Idaho A Model In
Reclamation Work
OTHER STATES PATTERN AFTER IDAHO
Reclamation And Irrigation Laws Are Chest Says
U.S.. Commissioner W. R. King

W ME luduO mas the largest
area of land under the govern
ment reclamation service of any
state in the union, the projects
here are handled with less legal
complications and trouble than
in any other state"
The above statement was made
by Will r. King, formerly justice
of the Oregon supreme court,
now chief counsel and commits
sioner for the United States rec
lamation service, who is making
a general tour Of inspection Of
the reclamation projects through
the country and has visited pro-
iects in Texas, Arizona, Utah and
Idaho.
Idaho is also to have the honor
os being the first state in which
a government irrigation project
is to be taken over by the set
tiers, states Mr.. King and is also
the first state to make use Of
the irrigation district law, and
while it was the first state in
which the government undertook
To deal with an irrigation dis
trict, the experience thus far has
proven to be a most successful
one. He cites that the success
along this line, however, is prin-
cipally due to the untiring efforts
of f. f. Weymouth, supervising
engineer and the United States
district counsel, b. f.. Stoutmey-
er. BY patterning after theil
work here, work of a similar
character has been accomplished
in Washington and Nebraska.
Mr.. King declares that it would
be very fortunate for the recla-
nation service if all other states
having connections with the ser.
vice would pattern their irriga-
tion district laws after those o
the state of Idaho. He cites
as an instance the Nampa- Mer
idian districts contract with tn
government, which, he stated
had not only added to the success
of the reclamation work, but is
model after which the servic
| would like to see other states
pattern. Under this contract
he says, the district has not onl
received a greater efficiency il
the way of irrigation, but ha
combined with it an excellent an,
much needed drainage system
In some states, said Judge King
it is impracticable to accomplish
what is being done in this stat
principally due to defects in thei
Irrigation laws. Even in Idah
he declares, the law is subjec
to amendment and some amend
ments are advisable in order {
give the state the fullest efIicien
cy and that it may receive tn
utmost benefits from the Unite
States reclamation service.
On every project which he ha
visited and talked with the set
tiers, Mr.. King reports that h
finds the utmost confidence in tn
reclamation service which he say
is due to the commission forI
of government established b
Secretary Lane, who he states ha
a faculty of placing the right ma
in the right place, getting I'll
, people in closer touch with tn
government Of which he regard
= himself but an agent and truste
and in such capacity feels thi
direct communication with IL
settlers is best.

Official Election
Figures Interesting

Compilation of figures in Boise
following the recent official count
of the November vote in the state
shows that Of the 33 counties i6
went republican, ~ democratic,
one progressive and four we're
tie in the division of county Of
fees. The 33 counties elected
800 officials, including legisla-
tive and county tickets and Of
this number the republicans ell
ected 279, the democrats 1872, the
.progressives i6 and the social
lists three.
The republicans carried Ada,
Adams, Bannock, Bingham, Bon
ner, Bonneville, Cassia, Clear
water, Fremont, Franklin, Idaho,
Jefferson, Gooding, Madison, La
tab and Power. The democ-
Gratis carried Bear Lake, Blaine,
Canyon, Custer, Kootenai, Lin
coin, Lemhi, Lewis, Oneida, Owy-
hee, Shoshone and Twin FallsThe
progressives carried Nez Perce
county. In Office divisions Ell
more Boise and Washington tied
as between The democrats and re-
publicans, and in Minidoka the
democrats and progressives each
took five, the republicans two and
the socialists two Offices. In
Bonneville, Cassia, Madison and
Power counties the republicans
elected all the officers.
Figures compiled by the Boise
Capital News show that in the re-
cent election the vote for Govern
or-elect Alexander was 1926
more than the total vote for Haw-
ley, the democratic nominee for
governor two years ago, while the
vote for Hugh McElroy, progress
i've candidate for governor, was
1912 votes less than the vote
for Martin, progressive candi-
date for governor two years ago
Official returns show that the
electors in many instances both
wrote in the names and used
stickers on the ballots in voting
for a successor to the late JUS
tice George H. Stewart of the su-
preme court. The state can
vassing board kept a seperatt
tally of this vote. Voters cas-
these ballots with the following
inscriptions, among others: "Fol
Justice of the supreme court tC
fill the vacancy caused by thu
death of former Justice Georg'
H. Stewart" " ITO fill vacancy JUS
tice of supreme court" For un-
expired term of George H. Stewar
deceased, For justice suprem,
court to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of former Justice
George H. Stewart, deceased"
Compilation of election re
turn figures in Boise shows tina
the socialists failed to poll II
per cent of the vote and, accord
ingly, will have no place on tn
primary ticket in the next elec
ticn.

improving the present one. The
members of the council were OF
the opinion that they had all the
information required from the
report of the Great Falls engin-
eer made some time ago and that

they were not prepared to do at
this time.
Messers Hemingway, Davis and
Scott, a committee from the

paired so that the water would
not run down against the retain
ing wall around the high school
grounds. On motion the light
on Ninth street at the alley be-
tween Main and Center avenues
was ordered removed and placed
at the corner of Jefferson and
Thirteenth. The council also
directed the city engineer to ex-
anime that part of Jefferson
street and ascertain the repairs
that were necessary and the cost
of fixing the street and the school
board was given authority to
make the repairs under the direc-
tion of the city engineer.

NEW BASKETBALL RULE.
Man Drbbling Ball Must Not Charge
Guard If Front of Him.

The player on defence had the yoke re
moved from his neck as result OF the
annual Interpretation meeting OF the In
tcrcollegiate Basketball league, held at the
Hotel Aston, New York. In past seasons
he has suffered too often for trying to
take the initiative III game, the com
mittce on rules thought, and hereafter he
will have greater freedom.
The bulk Of the talking in his behalf
was done by Harry Fisher. graduate man
agel OF athletics at Columbia and coach
of the Blue and White quintet. 1t was
agreed that the man dribhng a ball has
no privilege to charge guard IN front
/ Of him. but either must change his dTcc-
ton or must stop his drihble and make
another play. In case of doubt i'm the
mind OF the official the foul should be
I charged to the aggre~>or and not to the
guard for blocking. as generally has been
done.
Several coaches and players had to pose
in various positions before the rule in
reference to guarding from behind was
clarified. 1t was decided that slight per
sonal contact should he ignored and that
q player on defence can Use one straight
arm over the shoulder OF his opponent
without beng DtnalNed Tor docking
