AN IOWA SOLUTION
OF THE PROBLEM.

When this war is over we will be
looking for a disarmament plan. If
fleet of war vessels is necessary to
preserve the peace of the world, why
not have this feet owned and support
ed in common? Let each nation give
of its best to form an international
police feet, then let it be supported
by all the nations in proportion to
their need of a feet. Let it be man.
ned by the best sailors of all nations,
and when cruel war raises its head,
let the international feet strike the
offending party. In this way there
would be no herculean effort of one
nation to Guido the other, the expense
to each nation would be about one
tenth of what it is now; the burden
of taxation would be greatly reduced,
and war less probable. 1t would in
this case be truly peace heet-not a
war fleet. The world is at liberty to
use this suggestion free of charge.
Seems like it ought to work if there
is need of a feet and a desire for
peace. A world fleet the size of Great
Britain's at this time would be NIGH
ty fine one for peace, if owned at large
and used for proper purpose, while
at present it is mence owned by
one nation, and tends to make other
nations break their necks financially
to keep up with it. If there is a de-
sire for peace, a way can be found to
secure it. First get the desire.-Rolfe

MONK ET AL LOSE OUT
IN THEIR MANDAMUS
PROCEEDINGS

Will Monk and associates cannot
take a photograph of the records If
Canyon County. This is the NET re-
suits of the mandamus proceedings
brought against Recorder StoveI 6v
certain Progressive leaders.
Readers of The Tribune will re-
member That viii Monk and others
appeared at the county recorders Of
nee some days ago with the intention
OF photographlng the records in that
once. Mr.. Stovel informed them that
while they could have free access to
the records at any time he could not
permit them to photograph the re-
cords. Mandamus proceedings were
instituted to compel Mr.. Stovel to
permit the taking of photographs
These proceedings were Instituted in
the name of M. G. Mcconnell, Pro-
gressive candidate for sheriff.
AT the hearing of the case it was
shown clearly and conclusively that
the action was brought simply and
solely tor the purpose of manufactur-
ing campaign material. 1t was shown
that neither the Progressives nor any
one else had ever been denied access
to the records; in fact that the Pro-
gressives and Mcconnell in particular
had had access to the records on more
than one occasion; and further that
the law did not provide for taking
Photographic copies of the record.
Judge Bryan upheld the contention of
Recorder Stovel in every particular.
Conspiracy, That's All.
The actions brought against Mr..
Stovel were for political and campaign
purposes only. 1t was a conspiracy
on the part of Will Monk and others,
using M. G. Mcconnell as catspaw,
to discredit Mr.. Stovel. The records
of Canyon county are accessible at all
times, but because Mr.. Stovel did not
care to turn his Office into a photo
grapher's gallery, the mandamus pro-
ceedings were brought. AS was to be
expected, and as has happened a doz-
en- times already Will Monk ct al were
absolutely discredited.

DRAINING THE PIONEER
IRRIGATION DISTRICT
BY F. T. Grove, Engineer in Charge,
in Reclamation Record,

The district-The Pioneer irriga-
ton District is organized under the
laws of the state of Idaho and is To-
Gated in the Boise River Valley in
Ada and Canyon counties. The tract
comprises $4,000 acres of irrigable
lands, the greater portion of which
has been irrigated for the past 20
years. 1t is a fairly compact area of
approximately 10 miles long and S
miles wide. 1t has slightly rolling
surface with general slope to the
northwest of feet per mile. Within
the same natural drainage basin and
above the tract there are approximate
W 10000 acres of irrigated land.
The soil of the tract consists of a
heavy loan on the surface underlaid
with either clay or hardpan, which
covers for a depth of from to IL
feet strata of sand and gravel or very
coarse sand. The strata between the
sand and gravel and the surface loan
contain a large quantity of alkili,
which, when brought to the surface
by the ground waters, kills practically
all profitable agricultural crops.
Water Supply-The water supply is
secured by diversion from the natural
water flow of the Boise River through
the Caldwell and Phyllis canals.
These systems give the tract an album
dant water supply during the first
three months of the irrigated season,
but during the late summer the ma
natural flow of the Boise River is very
low, and the prior rights on the river
cut down the available supply for the
district to such an extent that there
is insufficient water for the proper
irrigation of its lands. Consequently
a contract has been entered into with
the Reclamation Service for a late
season water supply from the Arrow
rock Reservoir when completed.
Ground Waters-In 1910 ground
waters appeared in few low areas in

GOOD PROGRESS MADE
ON BOISE IRRIGATION
PROJECT

The Reclamation Record for Oct
ober gives the following account of
the progress of the work on the
Boise project which is now SO per
cent completed.
With the exception of the work per-
formed in connection with the drain
age of Pioneer irrigation district lands
and the building of two small mason
airy checks, no construction work was
undertaken in August.
On the drains of the Pioneer dis
trict good progress was made during
the month. The Purdam Gulch drain
was completed and the electric ma
chime moved to the Noble Slough
drain. Work with the second electric
drag line excavator was continued on
the Wilson drain with satisfactory
results.
Location surveys to provide an out
let for the water developed in the
Mason creek and Dixie system of
drains to the Boise River were conn
pleted during the month and right-of-
way negotiations were carried on.
Investigations in connection with
the drainage Of the Fargo Basin were
continued during the ninth, and con-
tracts with the Gem Irrigation Dis
lllNl anu lllC 1udllO L OWGI ISlRII
20, TOR power, to be used in the
drainage Of this basin were entered
into.
On August rs the directors of the
Nampa- Nj eridian irrigation district
approved the contract, already APP
proved by the Secretary of the Inter
ior, for draining Nampa- M eridian pro-
ject lands in the district, and the CON
tract was submitted to the state en-
gineer for approval prior to SUBMIT
ing It to the vote of the people in that
district.
The construction of 3O-inch REIN
forced concrete pipe to be used in
piping the Dixie drain through the
town of Caldwell was commenced.

The small amount of excavation for
the dam, mentioned above, was re-
moved in connection with the clean

to laying the concrete against them;
all other excavation for the dam
foundation has been completed.

THE RECORD.

Colonel Roosevelt was reported as
having said, after the recent Maine
election, that he was we'll satisfied
with results, for the election Of Re-
publican for Governor had been pre-
vented If the only function left Tor
the Progressive party is to insure
Democratic success, it will not last
long. 1t will probably not last long,
whatever its professed mission.
For the benefit of all concerned the
record in the three Pacific Coast
states, showing Enthusiastically the
common trend backwards for the
Progressives and forward for the Re
publicans is given. The figures are
for the Presidential election of 1912
and the primary elections of 1914, ex-
cept that in California the registra-
tom Eo1,res ara given.

it two-thirds full of water and on top

Effect of drains upon ground water
In order that study can be made
of the effectiveness of the drainage
system accurate data are kept on the
elevation of water in farm wells
throughout the district and we'll drive
points with pipe connections are
driven we'll down into the water
strata occasionally on lines at right
angles to the drains. Elevations are
taken Of the water levels to the
drains. Elevations are taken of the
water levels in the pipes once month
and results plotted on cross-section
sheet.
Report to the district-At the end
OF each month a report is sent to the
directors of the Pioneer Irrigation
District which shows in detail the ex-
penditures for the month, the amount
of work accomplished, and a general
summary of unit costs and total ex-
penditures to date. The object of this
report is to keep the settlers well
posted on the progress and costs of
the work and in case any questions or
misunderstanding regarding expen-
ditures should arise they may be ia
ken up and explained while the matter
is fresh IN the mind of all concerned.
development of seepage water in
dra1ns-A few preliminary measure
mentS have been made of the water
developed in the drains already com
pleted or where construction work is
well advanced.
On Mason Creek, where the drain
cuts stratum of compel sand and
gravel, measurements show a deyel-
opment of approximately 3 second
feet OF water per mile of drain, while
on the upper 2 miles of Mosan Creek
where the drain cuts deep into coarse
sand, second-feet per mile of drain
are developed.
On Elijah drain the complete drain
OF miles in length average 3.4 sec
ond-teet per mile, with a maximum
on the upper end of 5 second-feet per
mile and maximum on the lower
end OF "a secondfeet per mile. This
drain cuts into coarse sand for prac-
ticallv its entire length.
1heSe measurements were made
approximately three weeks after the
completion of the excavation on the
drains. wv

It is to be expected that this flow
Will diminish after the drains ane in
operation for longer period, Mea-
surements will be made occasionally
and data compiled showing these dew
elopments.
The Pioneer district is filing on the
developed water and hopes to arrange
an exchange whereby they NAV Sc
cure an amount from the Boise River
at their headgates equal to the
amount of seepage water delivered TO
the Boise River at the outlets OF Their
drains. No definite decision has been
granted as yet from the state en-
The question of combination of the

tItave analysis of the water deyeloned
by the drainage system shows an.
average, of 500 parts of salts per mil

tainable as yet in regard to the iniur-
ious qualities of these salts.
