RUN OF WATER ENDS
Salmon River Farmers Made Very
Best Use OF Available Supply

The first and only irrigation the
crops on the Salmon tract will en-
joy during the year 1915, was all
over Thursday. morning, when the
gates were closed on the four and
one-half thousand acre feet of water
remaining in the reservoir. There is
yet three and half feet of water
above the bottom of the tunnel 1t
was found impractical to run any
more water out of the reservoir, for
between the slight slope the outlet
has, and no pressure behind, the wa
ter would not draw off fast enough
to do any material good, especially
after being subjected to the losses
in the canal system.
Many of the farmers had exhausted
their prorated share of water as ear
ly as two weeks ago, while others,
particularly on the east divisions Of
the system, did not exhaust their al
lotment until the first Of this week
During the past ten days the water
has been rotated between the east and
west division, the small amount in
the main canal making rotation neces-
sary. For the last few days the wa
ter has been running in the west di-
vision to finish up with a num-
Der of farmers who had not received
their full share.
Mr. Hall, manager of hte canal com
pany, said yesterday that the com
pany was unable to deliver the full
nine inches they thought they would
be able to furnish, due largely to the
larger acreage under cultivation than
they anticipated The amount deliv-
cred averaged little over eight acre
inches. The acreage delivered this
year, Mr.. Hall states, is $500, which
is about nine thousand acres more
than last year, or an increase over
last years acreage of over thirty per
cent
1t is possible, Mr. Hall believes, that
the Salmon river will flow sufficient
water during this month and next to
largely offset the reservoir losses dur
ing the same period, SO that enough
water will remain available to fur
nish domestic run later on II this
is possible, and fall rains will again
raise the water for a domestic deliv-
cry in the fall, a great amount of an
noyance and hardship will be avoided.
Last year, however, although the sum-
mer was exceptionally hot, the flow
of the river was not great enough to
offset the reservoirs losses. Mr.. Hall
reports that majority of the fam
ers seemed to favor the plan of at
tempting to conserve some water for
domestic purposes.
Mr. Hall expressed himself as we'll
pleased with the highly efficient use
to which the water was put this year.
and commented particularly upon the
very small number of instances where
wasteful- practices were apparent. The
company has endeavored to deliver
larger heads of water this year, where
requested and the practice has seem

RUPERT PHYSICIAN KILLED
Struck by Passenger Train While
Crossing Tracks In Auto.

Rupert, Idaho, July 17-An acct
dent that has cast gloom over this
community occurred at II o'clock this
morning when DR.. G.. H. Scott, mayor
OF Rupert, one of the most public
spirited men of the community, ply
sician OF high repute and man loved
and respected by all, was thrown from
his auto by the engine of a Short
Line train and fatally injured, dying
within two hours. There were but few
witnesses Of the accident and those
who saw it agree that the train, which
was nearly an hour late, was ap-
preaching the depot at high rate of
speed.
The doctor was alone in his auto and
was approaching town from souther-
ly direction. The view of the track
from all directions except that from
which the doctor was coming is un-
obstructed. On account of couple of
residences in that direction it is pos
sible that he did not see the train un-
til too late
The engine struck the auto almost
in the center, throwing it some seven
ty-five feet and projecting the occu-
pant into the roadway some fifteen
lcSL ldlt tLcI. MCuICdl dlu was quickly
on hand and everything known to
science was done to aid him, but he
succumbed to internal injuries, in about
two hours, dying at his residence,
whiteher he had been conveyed. The
car was a total wreck, three of the
wheels being wrenched off and the
body of the vehicle smashed to splin-
ters.
DR.. Scott was prominent not only in
municipal matters, but in every en-
deavor for the public veal. He was
vice president of the Loyal Mems BIZ
BILE class and took an interest IN Ma
sonic and Odd Fellow activities. He
was 49 years of age and leaves a wife
and two obys, Russell, aged II, and
Leland, Is, Other relatives are a
mother, Mrs. Rebekah Scott, of Ru-
pert; and a brother, Albert Scott of
Portland. His father died two years
ago. He came to Rupert six years ago
from McConnellsville, Ohio, receiving
his medical degrees at Ohio Medical
college in Cincinnati.

THE LAW IS RIGID
No Hunting Inside Fenced Property
Without Permission.


The last assembly passed for the
benefit of special interests a rigid
trespass law that sportsmen should
keep in mind when the season opens
The hunter who discharges gun on
property that is properly fenced and
contains written notices against tres
passers, will find himself violator of
the law this year, a fact that sports
men should deem it well to heed The
new trespass law is rigid one in it's
terms. Owners OF property on which
hunters heretofore have been using
for hunting will be on hand when
the season opens Thursday of this
week to enforce the law to the let
ter. II stiff fines and even more SER
ious trouble is to be avoided hunters
had better take to the open.-Pocatel-

matter and if the majority favor

Idaho State militia, returned from the
state encampment in Boise. The boys
report having had splendid time
and that the encampment was one of
the best ever held in the state The

the companies from the western part
of the state. The boys have not lost
hope by any means as they intend to
keep right on at target practice and
will no doubt bring it back next year

RUSH FOR WATER PAST
Minid0ka Farmers Finish Grain and
Turn Water Back Into Canals.

IEe past week probably saw the
greatest demand for water on the Mini
doka project, which will be expert
enced this year. The canals which
were all running at full head have
now been cut down considerable and
it is felt that the strain is over This
is caused by the fact that much of
the grain has just been irrigated for
the last time and the potatoes have
been given one irrigation
The fact that this project has had
plenty of water during this, one of the
driest years on record in the state
and when all other irrigated sections
are suffering, gives us greater conf
dence in ou irrigation system and
water-right There is no indication at
this time but what the water in jack
son Lake will hold out and that there
will be plenty of water for the entire
season.-Burley Bulletin

no man has probably risked personal

the shortage of water this year made
the delivery of water a very difficult
task and made it more difficult to de-
liver to eyeryone's satisfaction, and
while complaints, particularly of dis
crlmlnation, were not lacking it seems
to be the general opinion that what
water there was, was handled by the
company to better advantage than
during any of the previous years.
