SUIT TO TEST CONTRACT 3"

Judge Jere c. Martin of Jerome Is
preparing papers on behalf of some
settlers whose holdings lie within one
mile of the Idaho Southern railway
for the purpose Of testing the validity
of Contract b..
Contract B" is an agreement enter
ed into between the company that
constructed the Twin Falls North
Side irrigation system, and the sett-
Iers who filed on land adjacent to or
near the Idaho Southern right of way.
Under the terms of this contract, the
owner Of the forty acres adjoining the
right of way. contracted to pay IS
per acre in addition to the SS5 for the
water right in consideration of having
the road in operation. The holder Of
the second forty back from the road
signed at Sc per acre; the third forty,
s4 and the fourth. 81. making an ag-
gregate of about S12.sOO per mile of
road. About 20 miles of the road has
bordering on either side of it lands
covered by Contract b..
In the suit filed 1t will be alleged
that the state land board had no legal
authority to consent to any contract
between construction company and
settlers, outside of payments for wa
ter. and that the contract itself is
void because it is not authorized by
the Carey Act, and a further allega-
ton will be made by Martin to the
effect that his clients signed the con-
tract under the representation that
.he road would be operated by cleo
.ricity.

SPOTTED FEVER IS
CAUSE Of DEATH
CHARLES r. GRlDLEY, FORMER
COMMITS SSlONER, PASSES AWAY
AT FAIRFIELD, BLAINE COUNTY.

Charles r. Gridley. former county
commissioner Of Lincoln county. and
one of the oldest residents of the
county, died last Monday afternoon
from spottedfever at Fairfield, Blaine
county. His death was unexpected
as he was a man of very rugged
health and had been i'll only few
days. He and his wife came to Lincoln
county from Gridley, California. more
than % years ago and located in the
Hagerman valley. They made one Of
the finest improved ranches in the
Valley and sold it at large figure
about six years ago.
Mr.. Gridley invested considerable
sums of money in Los Angeles and in
other parts Of California and in diff
ferent places in Idaho. He had one
improved ranch on Camas Prairie and
was staying there when taken sick
His wealth is estimated at about
100000. He was twice commissioner
Of Lincoln county, having been one
Of the first commissioners that it had
after it had been cut off from old Lo-
gan county, and was elected to the Of
fire again six years ago this fan.
For twenty years he had been con
sidered one Of the wealthiest and
keenest business men in this part of
Idaho
He left a widow, who was in Los
Angeles at the time of his death. and
several grown sons. All were able
to be present at the funeral, which
was held at Hagerman.

ROAD COMMISSION
Hailed INTO COURT
CUSTER PROCEEDINGS AGAINST
DIETRICH OFFICIALS, FOLLOW
ED BY TWO RESERVATIONS.

Custer proceedings We're instituted
few days ago and came up before
Judge Walters on demurrers Tuesday
in the mat,r of G. r. Gage and Chas.
II. johnson against the Dietrich high
way commissioners, w. J. Morrow.
E. r. Gage and J. NJ Clark. It was
stated that Gage and Clark had already
resigned from the commission and in
their places S. S. King and s. A. Wash
burn had been named. Gage plaintiff
and Gage defendant are uncle ant
nephew.
1t is alleged in the complaint that
the commissioners had made lille
gal allowances to themselves each in
the sum of 1915 when under the law
they could be allowed only their ac-
tuaI expenses incurred in the perform
ance Of their official duties Further
more they had neglected to file their
report as required and other small
items were illegally charged. as fol
instance, one of the commissioners
had hired teams from his wife to work
on the roads
The recital of the grounds for the
demurrers took up the afternoon
Tuesday, the points being argued by
james r. Boutwell,, who claimed that
the complaints were defective in the
fact that they did not allege wilful
intent on the part of the commission
ers in making the charges and in the
failure to report. etc.
Demurrer sustained and leave to
amend.
To launch road district commits
sion successfully on it's way is fraught
with difficulties. At the starting of
the Shoshone district there were law
suits from the jump. Down in the
Falls City district the commissioners il
legally levied taxes in excess of what
they are permitted under the law,
but they did it from misinterpreting
the law and not from any ulterior
motive, as was shown at the time
controversy arose in that case. In the
Shoshone case the commission was
sustained at every point in their con-
troversies and now the entire popula-
tion has arisen to call them blessed |
for what has been accomplished for
good roads in their bailiwick.

WHAT ABOUT OUR
1914 TAX RATE

In Findlay where an enormous increase
has been made in personal property re-
turns this year, the announcement has been
made that the tax rate this year will be
reduced to 5 mills.
In Conneaut, the taxing officials have
told the property owners of that thriving
little village that the 1914 tax rate will
be one cent on the dollar. The rate dur
ing the past year was over l3 mills, which
makes areduction of over three mills.
This lessening of the rate is direct re-
suit of the increase which has been made
to the duplicate.
In our own county there has been a
big increase to the duplicate. This IS
true of every township and every munic-
ipality. Why can we not have a lower
tax rate?
The 1914 rate here will be fixed by
the budget commission, which is made
up of elective officials. The county audi
tor is the guiding spirit of the board and
if the property owners make known their
desire for a lower rate to him, the bot
tom will probably be knocked out from
our present rate and taxes will come
down.
In other places increased duplicates are
bringing lower rates. The increase here
should do the same.

AFFLICTION LEADS MAN TO
VERY COMMON MANIA

Guy Knox, living west of this city, was
adjudged insane by Drs. Hattery and
Richardson in Probate Judge Rauda-
baugh's court last Friday and taken to
Toledo. Mr.. Knox is married and has
one child. He has been mentally de-
ranged since last winter, presumably
from the effects of a goitre, which has
caused a pressure of brain nerves. At
first he manifested mania for horses
and after buying several his fancies turn
ed to automobiles. He came to this city
last week and signed a contract for a
Studebaker, with local dealer. He was
taken up to Toledo and picked out his
car, which was driven back here. Not
until the return here did the dealer dis
cover that he had been dealing with a
maniac, and the car was not delivered to
Knox. Last Tuesday he came to this
city, and accompanied by driver Fred
Adams, of the Fire Department, started
again for Toledo to get his car. His
father, John Knox, learned of his ac-
tions and had Sheriff Fisher cause the
arrest of the couple at Toledo, and they
were returned here by Sheriff Fisher

thousands have been caught. The state
