SHERIFF BRESHEARS GETS
BURGLAR AT LA GRANDE

Sheriff Frank Breshears returned
from Salem and La Grande, Oregon.
Wednesday, having in custody Jerry
Hall, alias Harry Mann, charged with
burglarizing the home of his brother
in-law, c. F. Miller at Nampa. 1t is
stated that he took a suit of clothes,
two guns and other small articles.
The cache of the alleged burglar,
including the above property, was dis
covered by Chief of Police Maloney
of Nampa several days ago, and it was
due to clever detective work on the
part of the Nampa officer and infor-
nation furnished by him that Hall was
apprehended at La Grande.
Chief Maloney is confident that
Hall is also guilty of series of bur
glaries and petty larcency offenses
occurring in Nampa duringt he past
several months.

without interruption. A large per-
centage of the output of the power
plant was sold to the local company.
Excavation for foundation on the
lava bench on the south side of the
river progressed satisfactorily.
On the spillway the work of trim
ming the slopes preparatory to plac-
ing the concrete lining continued with
good results.
The amount of concrete placed dur
ing June exceeds the record for any
other month since the work started
This is almost 10 per cent better than
the record for the month of May, the
best previous record.
AT the sand-cement plant the out
put was considerably larger than for
any previous month, and all Of the
cement is passing the standard test
by wide margin.
AT the screening and crushing plant
at Diversion Dam. operations have
been continued with two shifts with
very satisfactory results.

JUDGE MORGAN FEELS
NORTH IDAHO EMIT
TIED TO JUSTICE

Judge William NJ. Morgan of Mos
COW, non-partisan candidate for JUS
tice OF the supreme court, was in Cald-
we'll Tuesday in the interests of his
candidacy. Judge Morgan has SER
we'd in both houses of the Idaho legis-
lature and is we'll known throughout
the state both as a lawyer and as a
legislator. He speakes optimistic
ally, and apparently feels that he will
be one of the nominees. According
to the law governing the nomination
of judges of the district court and
justices of the supreme court the
voter shall vote for twice the num-
Der OF candidates as there are posi-
tons to be filled. Hence at the pri-
mary election two men will be nomin-
ated. At the general election in
November one of these men will be
elected.
When seen by a representative of
The Tribune Judge Morgan stated
that north Idaho felt that she is en-
titled to a member of the supreme
court, AS the position to be filled at
the coming election is the seat Of
Judge Ailshie, north Idaho man, the
people of that section feel that north
Idaho man should be selected. Judge
Morgan said;
There is but one thing that have
against Judge Walters and that is
that he comes from the wrong section
of the state. In case of his election
this immediate section of Idaho will
have furnished the entire court Judge
Sullivan lives at HALEY; Judge Stew
art at Boise and Judge Walters at
Shoshone, which would also make
two members of the court from the
Fourth District.
The conditions, occupations and
problems of north Idaho are entirely
different from those of south and
southeastern Idaho. The north con
sttutes third fthe population and
a third of the area Of Idaho and we
should have have one of the three
members of the court. One of the
justices should be personally acquaint-
ed with our conditions"
Judge Morgan spoke very highly of
the other aspirants for the position
especially Judge Beale, who he con-
siders one OF the ablest men in the
northwest He is also we'll impressed
with Judge Walters as man and as
a jurist.

PROMINENT CITIZEN
PASSED AWAY FRIDAY

George w. Hodson, for years one
of the most widely known and greatly
respected men of the community, died
July 81, at his residence in this city.
of cancer of the stomach, in the 10Th
year of his age.
A splendid constitution, the results
of clean, wholesome life, gave Mr..
Hodson the vitality to combat the
ravages of the insidious disease for
about three weeks. Only for the last
few days did his friends see any evil
dences of the terrible suffering he was
forced to undergo, and then only as a
result of his failing strength.
Mr.. Hodson will be greatly missed
by a wide circle of friends and
acquaintance. A man of sturdy
righteousness, he was ever kindly and
charitable. The unfortunate were his
unfailing care.
Mr.. Hodson was born in Ohio in
1889 of Quaker parentage.
In his earlier days he was quite a
traveller and for several years navigat-
ed the Mississippi. His first marriage
was with Miss Hattie Dorsey the
daughter of an editor of one of the
prominent Mississippi valley news
papers, and to this union nine child
rem were born. Notwithstanding he
was a Quaker, when the Civil War
broke out he enlisted in the union
army at the first call and spent FIVE
years in the service of his country.
After the war he settled in Iowa and
while there served the people in
many capacities, - county clerk, road
supervisor and justice of the peace,
police judge, sexton, and for several
years was chief of police. He was a
man of vigorous health and great
activity and proved a most faithful
and efficient officer. Originally a
Hicksite Quaker, he was man OF
very liberal views, strongly believing
in God as the universal Father and
the brotherhood of man He had a
large heart and was a friend of the
poor and needy.
L In February, 1912, he married Mrs
E. S. Mohr and she together with
three daughters, Mrs. George Noggle
of Van Wyck, Mrs. c. l.. Sloan of thi:
city and Mrs. Stella Frank of Cali
fornia, by his first wife, survive him.
He was buried in the Canyon Hill
Cemetery Monday afternoon, the ser
vices being held from the Methods

EXTENSION BILL MAKES
WATER PAYMENTS
MUCH EASIER

Under the reclamation extension
b;Il which finally has passed Con-
oress. all settlers on government ir-
E;gation projects will hereafter have
10 wears within which to pay for their
wafer, instead of being required to
complete payments in 10 years, as
heretofore. Furthermore, under this
new law. the settler will pay five per
cent of the total water right charge
assessed against his entry at the time
of filing his water-right application,
and will then be exempt from further
nayments for a period of FIVE years.
beginning five years from the date
of fling, the settler will pay seven
per cent annually of his water charge
for IS consecutive years. This pro-
vision relieves the settler of the bur-
den of meeting water charges during
the wears when he is bringing his land
under cultivation. Eastern members
of the House of Representative made
a determined effort to attach to the
bill an amendment imposing a charge
of 8 per cant interest per annum on
all deferred payments, but this propo-
sition was defeated after two day
fight by vote of 81 to 140 1t is
quite likely that no other legislation
of importance to the West will be
passed by Congress this session, and
realizing the difficulties likely to
arise, western senators and represen-
tatives concentrated their efforts to
force through this highly important
measure. The bill which passed, was
introduced by Senator Boroh, and
had the enthusiastic. support of both
Idaho Senators. 1t passed the SEN
ate last March, and only within the
past few days was put upon its pas
sage in the House. 1t is the opinion
of the Idaho Senators that the amend
ments made to the bill by the House
will not be inimical to the interests
of Idaho settlers on the Boise and
Minidoka projects.

Community Most Important.

Publicists who have studied the
American government and comment
ed upon it have invariably empha-
sized in the strongest manner the inn
portance of the town and village COM
munities as political units. The fact
probably is that our whole govern
ment, national and state, finds its
model in the town meeting, which to-
day when properly used provides all
the essentials of true legislative as
sembly. 1t must be preserved if lib
erty and free government are to be
preserved. The preservation of the
local community is even more import
ant from a governmental or political
standpoint than from commercial
viewpoint.

FARMERS ARE ORGANIZING
PRODUCE EXCHANGE
Between 800 and 400 Interested-Will
Buy and Sell.

w. P. Bales was in the city Tues
day. Mr.. Bales informs The Tribune
that between three and four hundred
farmers are interested in the proposed
Farmers Exchange which is being
organized. This exchange will
handle the grain, hogs and hay which
the farmers produce. 1t will also
buy on a FIVE per cent. commission
anything that the farmers buy in
carload lots, such as sacks, coal etc.
The fruit and potatoes which are. pro-
duced will be handled by their respec-
tive organization. This ex-
change will not interfere with any
existing association or business. Mr..
Bales explains that in the case of
grain the exchange will simply bring
the farmer with grain to sell in con-
tact with the farmer who wishes to
buy grain.

INDIAN CREEK WATER
IS IN LITIGATION

The case of Riverside Irrigation Co.
VS.. Frank p. King, State Engineer,
and Elias Marsters, Water Commits
sioner, now being tried before Judge
Byran in the District Court, marks
the beginning of long fight to de-
hnitsly settle all of the questions in
volved.
In the case at bar, the waters of
Indian Creek are in contention. The
Riverside company claims that for
years they have been using the bed
of Indian Greek for a distance of 1000
feet, as part of their canal, the water
in the creek forming a part Of their
supply during the short period Of the
year. They claim the water.
This year the Water Commissioner
decided that the waters of Indian
Creek belonged to the river, as the
creek was one of the tributaries, and
ordered that the water be allowed to
empty into the river In this way the
elder water rights lower down would
be enabled to make use of this water;
otherwise water would have to be
turned into the river from the High
land Dam, some 20 miles above Boise
There are number of legal points
of great interest and matter of equity
which will in the near future become
of very grave importance. If the
tributaries are construed as part oil
the river water supply, then they can
not be interefered with. If the drain-
age water by emptying into tribu-
tary stream increases the how-to
whom does the extra water belong
The best legal talent of this part oi
the state is engaged on the. present
case, the outcome of which is being
watched with interest.

THEY ARE so CLOSE
THEY ARE ONE

When the third party movement was
organized in Idaho it came from the
office Of Democratic governor. The
party affiliated with the Democrats
to a large extent throughout the cam
paign, and acted as Democratic aide
in every way. Later developments
have shown that there was great Atm
itY between those two parties, and
they are getting closer every day. In
fact they are getting so close that
they have put out joint ticket in
some places, Bonneville county fur
nishing the latest instance of such
fusion.-Pocatello Tribune.

and claiming Nampa as his place OF
residence. was grnated divorce from
America Samuels in the district court
