FAIR BOARD BUSY;
PLANNING FOR A
RECORD FAIR

At a meeting of the directors of
the fair association, Monday evening,
the work of removing and rebuilding
the gates and offices at the fair
grounds was let to George Watts,
who will put them all in good condi-
tion.
The bid of the Modern Woodman
band was accepted to furnish music
during the fair Besides the day ex-
ercises there will be street concert
each evening.
Mr.. Buchanan suggested having a
series of musical entertainments,
vocal and instrumental to contest for
prizes, and the board approved Of it,
but said it had better be done by
private enterprise as it was out of
the line of the fair association. 1t
would be in some respects coming
into competition with customers of
the fair who are conducting shows.
A Mr.. Olphin, whose little son was
drowned in the place formerly used
for filling the sprinklers at the fair
grounds, appeared before the board
and suggested that they pay him
some money to help defray the fun
,eral expenses. He said he had been
advised that he could collect some
thing legally, but he did not want
to do that, and as he was hard up
he would accept something if they
would give it, Members of the board
replied that the boys were tresspass-
ing when they went upon the
grounds, that the pit had no water in
1t by their knowledge and consent,
that the boys turned the water in
themselves while trespassing, and
that the fair association was an or
operating for the public
good and not to make money, that
the association was in debt and they
did not feel that it was their place
to assume any of the burden of this

SIX INDICTMENTS RETURNED
IN EASTLAND DISASTER

Chicago - Indictments charging
manslaughter and criminal careless
ness were returned in the criminal
court here today in connection with
the Eastland disaster. George T.
Arnold, president; William H. Hull,
vice president and general manager;
w. s. Steel, secretary-treasurer; Ray
w Davis, assistant secretary-treasur-
er of the company owning the East
land; Harry Peterson, captain, and
Joseph M. Erickson, engineer of the
;Eastland, were those indicted. The
company officials bonds were set at
$4,000 and those of the others at
$4,000. The officials are charged
with manslaughter and the employees
with criminal carelessness.
The indictment charges that the Of
ficials knew that the Eastland was
unseaworthy and had no stability;
that they permitted $500 passengers
aboard, which was more tnan the yes
sells carrying capacity; that they hir-
ed an incompetent engineer and in
sufficient crew and that they allowed
the ballast tanks to be ont of repair
and not filled with water. Captain
Petersen is charged with negligence
in not seeing that the ballast tanks
were filed and in neglecting to warn
the passengers to leave the Eastland
when it became apparent she was
about to turn over.
After four hours of pumping on
the Eastland today, with the expec-
tation of raising her, 1t was discover
ed water was re-entering the hull
as fast it it was pumped out. Divers
were sent below to search for leaks.

WATER suit
IS BREWING
Contributed by Fred T. Dubois,

Contributed by Fred T. Dubois)
The Gerome North Side News oi
August 5, conveys large amount OF
new and somewhat startling informa-
tion to the users of water in the up
per Snake river valley.
The Gerome paper is the able and
earnest spokesman for the North Side
Twin Falls tract. Mr.. R. q. Shep-
herd from Chicago and Billings, Mon
tana, is in charge of the North Side
tract.
In the August issue of the North
Side News appears the following:
Tuesday evening of this week,
(August 81 r. e. Shepperd and party
arrived in Gerome from an automo-
bile tgip to Jackson Lake Storage res
ervoir. in Wyoming.
"Enroute to the lake Mr.. Shep-
herd observed closely the water con-
ditions of the agricultural section Of
the North Fork of the Snake river
above Idaho Falls, and he confirms
the opinion OF the North Side editors
that there is wanton, needless and
in fact damaging waste of water by
the users in that country. He stop
ped and talked with some of them
along the way going in and in many
and in places found the users quite
arrogant and independent concerning
the needs of any one else.
"But he is going after the situa-
tion vigorously and believes these
users can be shown that such a need
less waste of valuable water cannot
be practiced. AS a result there will
be a very important meeting at Ida
no Falls today, (Thursday, August 81
between representatives of the North
Side company, of the government
users on reclamation projects below
Idaho Falls and the users complained
against, and 1t is likely that vigorous
and effective sters will be taken to
convince the water hogs of the upper
country that there is some one else
on the river entitled to considera-
ton"
1t was very plain at the meeting
and during the discussions at Idaho
Falls on Thursday last, that Mr..
Shepherd argued the right to control
and dispose of the stored water in
both the Jackson lake and the Fort
Hall reservoirs and he brushed aside
as unworthy of consideration, any
equity which the settlers on the upper
Snake river might claim to partici-
pate in the use of this stored water,
or any right that the state of Idaho
might claim over the use and distri-
button of the waters in the state or
in the reservoirs.
The meeting at Idaho Falls was
ordered by the secretary of the in
terror. Neither the North Side nor
Mr.. Shepherd was invited by the Sec

retary of the interior to attend the
meeting, except as all other water
users were invited. The meeting was
ordered by the secretary of the in
terror for the purpose of arranging
some plan by which the water users
on the Snake river below the mouth
of the Blackfoot river might have the
use of surplus water from the gov
ernment reservoir at Fort Hall and
the water users on the upper Snake
river might have surplus water from
the government reservoir at Jackson
Lake. This is plain from the follow
ing telegram:
'Blackfoot, Idaho, July 29, 1915.
( Hon. Franklin X. Lane, secretary,
interior, Washington, D. G.

TRAGIC FINALE
TO SECRET SIN

"Take her to the country. Fight
it gradually. She is young enough
to win out" said the ambulance
surgeon as he swung on the step
of the emergency ambulance.
Dan Martin and his wife look
ed upon their daughter, uncon-
scious from the effects of opium,
who was laying in the street rob-
bed of her clothes and Jewelry
and sobbing. The unfortunate
girls sister, Edith, stood near by
with her sweetheart, Jack Her.
ron, her eyes wet with tears which
rolled unashamed down her
cheeks.
This is the tragic yet happy
conclusion of "The Secret Sin"
featuring Blanche Sweet in dual
role at the Colonial theater for
the last time today. The con-
clusion is tragic because of the
heart rendering scene when the
old folks find their youngest
daughter laying in the streets un-
der the influence Of opium and
pronounced a drug fiend by the
doctor.
