REPORT NOT CORRECT.

That there was absolutely no founda-
ton for the report that he was to resign
to take a position with the Burlington
railroad, was the statement of State
Auditor Fred Huston, while in town
yesterday.
81 don't know anybody connected
with the Burlington railroad,' said Mr..
Huston, to a Tribune representative,
"much less having communicated with
the company regarding position, and
1 cannot conceive how the report got
started that 1 ever had any such thing
in mind.''
1t appears that tho state auditor had
a press agent in the parsonage of the
governor secretary, who is prone to
peddle fiction that doesn't have much
behind it, as the report that Mr.. Huston
was to ally himself with railroad in
terests seems to have been wholly un-
founded in detail.
The state auditor stopped over in
Pocatello yesterday while on his way
to Boise from business trip to Idaho
Falls and went on to Boise last night.

SUGAR DIRECTORS CHOSEN.

At the annual meeting Of the stock.
holders of the Utah Idaho Sugar CON-
pany held Saturday afternoon at the
Vermont building, all of the directors
OF the company except c. w. Nibley
were reelected. Mr.. Nibley was sue
ceeded by j. D. Murdoch. Mr.. Nibley g
retirement was occasioned by the fact
that he is at present director of the
Amalgamated Sugar company and did
not wish to retain his place on both d.
rectorates. The new federal law, Mr..
Nibley said, contemplated in the future
the forbidding of interlocking director
ates on companies doing interstate bust
ness, and though it is not yet in effect,
he was acting in Difference to the spirit
of it in declining to be candidate for
reelection to the board of the Utah.
Idaho Sugar company.
The directors chosen by the company
yesterday were Joseph F. Smith, Leroy
Eccles, j. d. Murdoch, T. r. Cutler, He
Der J. Grant, George Homney, John c..
Cutler, w. s. Mccormick and Francis M.
Lyman.
Immediately after the regular annual
stockholders meeting special meet
ing of the stockholders was held to re.
duce the capitalization of the company
from $13,00o,o0O to $10,OoO,0oo. This
was done by the retirement of the
$3,000,0O0 Of stock, constituting all of
the common stock of the company.
Three years ago the company purchased
all Of the common stock and the redue-
ton of the capitalization was merely
formal in order to leave all of the stock

eral days ago, the indictments against
Fred L. Huston and Robert C. Huston
was dismissed Monday by Judge Davis
at the request of Prosecuting Attorney
Owens.
The state auditor and his brother
a deputy in the office, were charged
by the grand jury with the embezzle-
ment of a scrip book belonging to
the state of Idaho. Robert Huston
made trip to Los Angeles and other
California points in June, 1914. He
was married in Los Angeles and the
state attempted to show that the trip
was made only for this purpose and
not on state business.
In defense, the Huston brothers
introduced evidence to show that
Robert Huston, while in California
made investigations as to records
and systems to be used in conducting
the business in the auditors office OF
the state of Idaho.

years have been placed after taking a
trip over the system.
Extent of Project.
The project covers some fifty thou
sand acres of land, thirty eight thou
sand acres of which are s'Indian"
lands on the Fort Hall reservation and
twelve thousand acres "white' lands
located on the ceded tract lying be-
tween the city of Pocatello and the
reservation line six and one half
miles north of the city. The entire
project is located in Bannock and Bing-
ham counties, i'll townships 3, 4, 5, and
8 south, ranges 80, "a, and 35 east of
the Boise MERIDIAN.
The project obtains it's water from
two sources, 10000 inches from the
Snake river and the stored flood waters
of the Blackfoot river.
The delivery of the Snake river wa
ter is controlled by a set Of concrete
headgates located at point about one
and a half mile west of Shelley, Idaho.
These gates are five in number, and are
five feet wide and eight feet high and
will deliver 600 cubic feet per second.
The water is carried by the Idaho canal
to the Blackfoot river to point about
; four miles above the BlackfOOt diver
sion. This canal is thirty feet wide
on the bottom and has banks six feet
high built on a slope Of 2:1. This canal
has grade of about .O3 feet per hun
bred feet.
Government Fixtures.
There are but threv structures on the
Idaho canal owned by the government
besides the headgates on the river,
though it is crossed by numerous
bridges, fumes, syphons, etc, owned
by other companies and individuals. A
concrete rating section is built about
1000 feet below the headgates and is
used for the purpose of gaging the canal
in accordance with the requirements of
the state water commissioner.
The Sand creek waste gate located
east of Wapello, four miles north of
Blackfoot are used to control the flood
waters of Sand creek which discharges
through the Idaho canal. These gates
are built OF concrete with steel shutters.
The Idaho canal crosses over the
Eastern Idaho canal by means of a
double channel Maginnis steel flume.
which has concrete inlet and outlet
and is supported by concrete piers.
The flood waters of the Blackfoot
"A0 Scoleu ny means OF a dam
and reservoir located about forty seven
miles southeast of Blackfoot. The dam
is of the loose rock and hydraulic filled
type and is located near the center of
section II, township IS, range 40 E.,
where the Blackfoot river enters a ba.
salt canyon. Above this point, for a
distance of Is miles, has an average
fall OF only about eight inches to the
mile and the reservoir when full creates
lake about II miles in length and
one and one-half miles wide at the
widest point.

DEATH OF EDITH TAYLOR.
Communicated

The grim reaper has claimed the be.
loved daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. G..
b. Tayler of Blackfoot, who died on
Tuesday, March %.
Deceased was only i'll for week,
being confined to her bed less than a
week when the end came. Her illness
seemed to BATTLE the skill of the physi.
clans of Blackfoot. Edith was very
popular with her classmates and her
teachers in the schools and a girl of
more than ordinary intelligence and
refinment, which won for her the re.
spect and love of all who knew her.
She will be remembered in American
Falls as pupil in the public schools,
while her father was manager of the
Grand Hotel, and in Rockland where
she spent her vacation last year, visit.
ing with her sister, Mrs. Earl w. Bailey.
Mr.. c. B. Tayler, was in New York at
the time Of her death where he was
called at the death of a brother.
The taking away of one so young and
beautiful, just budding into woman.
hood, with so bright prospects for the
future, was a terrible shock to the
heart broken parents and friends, and
has cast a gloom over the entire COM
munity who are acquainted with tho
esteemable family. The sympathy Of
all is extended to the sorrowing rela.
Itives in their sad bereavement.

WANT GRADUATE VETERINARIAN
Because State Veterinarian Bodle i.

Because State Veterinarian Bodle is
a non graduate Idaho is in danger of
being prevented from shipping any
stock outside the state. Such was
the possibility faced by the state live
stock sanitary board when it convened
at the capitol Thursday.
DR.. Bodle is qualified to practice
under the laws of Idaho and is not
barred from being the state vetcrin-
arian, but members of the state board
received notice from other states that
it is highly probable they will be I'M
able, under their veterinary inspection
laws, to accept certificate of inspec-
ton from any but graduate veterin-
arian.
Not only DR.. Bodle, but all his dep
uties are said to come under the nom
graduate classification. The matter
was discussed at considerable length
but no action taken on account of the
absence of the governor.
Under the Idaho law, the state vet
erinarian is an appointee of the Idaho
livestock sanitary board, but the ap.
pointment is made on recommendation
of the governor. DR.. Bod1e was so
appointed. The board feels that it
should not take any action until the
governor has been consulted and ad.
vised of the conditions, but the stu.
alton is regarded as serious one. 1t
is not believed, however, that any of
the western states will be inclined to
take immediate or drastic action until
the board has had ample time to con.
slider the case.
A livestock agreement was entered
into at meeting held recently in San
Francisco at which some eight states
were represented. J. o. Rhodes of
Pollock was the Idaho delegate. He is
member of the board but was not
present at the meeting Thursday. He
will probably be wired to come and
tell what he knows of the circum-
stances under which the San Francisco
agreement was drawn.
That agreement provided that no
stock should be shipped from one Of
the states represented to another unless
accompanied by proper certificate of
inspection and it now appears that the
laws of some of those states will pro-
hibit them from accepting certificate
from any but graduate veterinarian.
The board will be in session Friday. -
