IDAHO IRRIGATION COMPANY
TO THE MANY WATER U.s.
ERS OF THIS DISTRICT.

On June 10th the Idaho Irrigation
company addressed and mailed copies
of the following letter to contract
holders and water users on the pro-
! ject:
TO THE WATER USERS:
"The records of the United States
Weather Bureau show that conditions
in Idaho during the past year with
respect to precipitation are without
precedent. The state is confronted
with serious shortage of water
This company earnestly desires to
distribute the available supply of wa
ter on this project in a manner which
will best protect and serve the inter
ests of all the users of water from its
system With that end in view the
company has, with the approval of the
state engineer, devised system of
rotation.
at is estimated that there is avail
able for the remainder of the season
about one and one-half acre-feet Of
water for each acre in crop on the
project 1t is believed that this is suf-
ficient to mature this years crop If
economy is practiced by the water US
ers The regulations as approved by
the state engineer are as follows:
The Idaho Irrigation company will
after June fifteenth, and during the
remainder Of the irrigation season of
nineteen fifteen, distribute the supply
of water available for the irrigation
of lands on it's project by a system of
rotation based upon the acreage ac-
user such portion of the total avail
able supply as his acreage in crop
bears to the total acreage in crop on
the project The rotation period will
be so arranged that the company will
deliver two, three, four or five times
the amount Of water to which each US
er would be entitled if the available
supply were delivered by continuous
flow for a period of one-half, one
third. one-fourth or one-fifth of the
time respectively as required by the
user, subject. however, to the capacity
of the canals and laterals.
IDAHO IRRIGATION COMPANY,
LIMITED.
BY M. r. KAYS,
Approved; June Is, 1915, by J. H.
Smith, State Engineer"
This letter sets forth clearly and
concisely conditions which it has nern
enerally realized would effAo.
this ees-on's water supply on this and
all other projects in the state. In de-
vising the plan Of rotation indicated
It was believed that such plan would
nlret completely conserve the water
supply and meet the needs of the wa
ter users. 1t was found, however, that
there were serious and well founded
objections to the enforcement of ro-
tation just at this time, with the re-
suit that the company has. while urg
ing the utmost economy in the use of
water continued continuous delivery
until the needs of the farmers could
be more fully ascertained. 1t is the
earnest desire and intention of the
company to distribute the available
supply of water. which is known to
be adequate, if economically used to
fully mature the crops, during the re-
mainder of the season, in such a way
as to best meet the needs of each far
mer and we are assured that the plan
which is followed during the remand |
er of the season will be the one which |
is most fully satisfactory to a majority !
Of the water users on the project.

"CALL ME ELLIS" GARDNER
 TELLS ABOUT ALASKANS

Alaska's impressions on newcomer are entertalningly set forth in an article pub lished in the Eagle, newspaper of Burns, vile N. C. The article was written by c. Ellis Gardner, who came here last spring from North Carolina to be assistant district attorney.
 In his article Mir Gardner praises and criticizes the Alaskans as he deems lusti- fled, but that he likes them as class is made evident from the following appearing in his description of Iditarod:
 This town is typical mining camp. and at one time was quite thriving place with more than 2,000 peorle. Now there are only about 300. Among them are many fine people, like most Alaskans- and free -heerted If they like you they like you. If they do not you will know it, for YOU will see nothing of them but their cold shoulder"
 Further on in his article MT. Gardner ;ays that the government railroad IS ex- Dected to bring wave of prosperity to Alaska, but he adds that here, as in North Carolina, there are perpetual "kickers" who however, are quite unnoticed. Then, Tn 8 further allusion to the kickers he says:
 Adam kicked because the Lord gave him Eve, and Eve gave him an apple, and thus it will be so long as the descendants f Adam shall inherit the earth. "-Fa banks Citizen

The capture of the American steamship Wilhelmina and the conhscation of her cargo by the British has occupied considerable space in the dispatches recently, and the Allowing dispatch, dated New York, Jan, 22, explains the significance of the seizure ::
 1he American steamship Wilhelmina cleared for Hamburg today with food sup plies shipped by an American firm and con signed to Germany. The shippers assert that the supplies are for the use of the civilian population of Germany only, and that they are perfectly privileged to send such food, no matter what the opinion of the allied nations might be. The voyage of this ship is now being followed with tremendous interest If the British seize it the action of the United States govern ment will mean an action that may have an immense importance Should the ship be allowed to land the supplies in Germany it will mean precedent that would re- move all danger of Germany being starved into submission.

MINERS BUSY
 IN RUBY CAMP
(Rubv Record Citizen, Jan. 23l

(Ruby RecOrd-CltlZen, Jan. |oI
 Billy McGillis arrived from iamarack creek yesterday afternoon. He said that the outlook for the creek is very favorable. Only four new holes have been bedrocked on the creek this winter, but every one of them has exceeded expectations.
 Wolf, Power and Bailey, who a few weeks ago finished a working shat on the lower portion of the Junebug association and found themselves in very rich dirt, have drifted sufficiently to prove that they had only chanced on an exceptional spot. They are now hoisting good average pay. People who are familiar with the creek did not expect the rich dirt to hold out, but expect fair average to be maintained.
 About the middle of the JuneDlg, which is a four claim association, McGiIlls, Collins, Cowan and Floyd have working shaft down and are cross drifting in good average pay, the width of which has not yet been determined
 The Snowshoe association -four claims) is next above the Junebug. On 4OO-foot fraction at the upper end of the Snowshoe Billy Craig and Hagen Olson sank shaft for McGillis and associates and cross drifted forty feet. Mir. McGllis thinks that is the best showing SO far on the creek. The drift was in four or five feet of gravel, con- taining clay porphyry sediment. This hole is on the right limit, and the pay weakened 2 little toward the hill, but toward the creek it was holding up fine.
 On the Chicago -four clamis) association, adjoining the fraction just mentioned, Craig and Olsgon have bedrocked shaft 200 feet above and in line with the work done on the fraction. The shaft was bedrocked last Monday and it was easily the most promis- ing hole that has been put down on the creek The first drifting thaw was being put in Tuesday.
 Nearly two miles above this hole of Craig and Olsons, at about the head of the creek, Miller and partner are sinking but have not gotten to bedrock. Mir McGillis heard
