The Idaho Supreme court, in m
opinion handed down on Saturday, de-
ided In favor Of the Nampa & Merid- |
An irrigation district and against |
|ames G. Petris ct. al, affirming the
Judgment Of Judge Bryan Of the Sew
NTH judicial district, who approved of
he crestion Of the district and the |
contract between 1t and the Reclama-
ion service, to which exception was
AIKEN by Pstris and others, who
claimed their lands did not require
lrainage. The opinion was written by
Justice Bulge and concurred in by
chief Justice Sullivan and Justice
Morgan. Justice Morgan, in a supple
mental opinion, declared his belief
hat the trainers of the state constitu-
ion Of Idaho and the action Of con-
Iress In rAtifying the constitution,
placed the sale, rental and distribu-
ion Of all the waters under the control
II the state and not subject to the re-
rulation or control Of the United. |
States. While this question was be-
'ore the court, 1t was introduced in
he opinion by reference to anticipation
# the final action Of the District
,ourt In assessing the benefits to land
)wners-
Considerable surprise was manifest
ID among many Boise housewives
when they read recently that the usual |
all shipment Of dried prunes had ar
lived in the city from California.
Prunes In Idaho, the land famed for
Il prunesl In order to ascertain the |
reason for these shipments one Of the
sity dealers was questioned.
1T Is true, he said, that south
Urn Idaho prunes which excel those Of |
my other state; that IL, however, the
fresh prune. For some reason, due to
he dry climate, probably, Idaho
'runes stand up under shipment better
han those grown elsewhere. When
he California prune has begun to
iecay. the Idaho prunc, shipped the
anne day. win stand up perfectly for
Il least another week. It seems to
lave tougher skin.
''On this account, there Is special
lemand for the Idaho prune in its
'resh state and prices paid are usually
greater to the grower than though he
lxied them. So. It Is usually only the
'ulls, not desirable for shipping, that
lrc dried in Idaho. = poorer and cheap
" quality.
"0n the other hand. the California
rune dries better than the Idaho
rune, the warm sun and the thinner
kin both being agents in making the
,roduct better"
