was constructed with capacity of
100000 acre feet. In determining the
available supply. during an average
year, the court finds itself confronted
with not only the difficulties Of esti-
mating the probable run-off of va
rlabie stream, but also the loss from
seepage in the reservoir and canal sys-
tenn.
In addition to these problems, the
company is now engaged in litigation
with claimants of superior right to
divert large amounts of water from
the upper reaches of the stream and
its tributaries, together with the fact
that the contracts held by the settlers
contain clause putting all rights on
an equal footing regardless of the
date of their execution, the court con-
fesses itself facing a complex prob
lem.
Meaning of Contracts.
In the belief that the fundamental
question is one of the meaning of the
contracts, the court takes up both the
settlers contract with the company
and that of the company with the
state The plaintiffs contend that they
contracted for a water right of a defi-
mite amount, together with the owner
snip of an undivided interest in the
system. The defendants admit the
latter contention but claim that the
contract carried no specific amount OF
water but only divisional share. the
extent OF which must depend on the

gineer Fox persist in the claim that
such bridge will cost from SIS, 10000
to 500, 100000? II SO then Mr.. Fox's
reputation as a bridge engineer is on
a basis that should lead to his removal
as a county engineer. No bridge COM
pany is going to guaranty an estimate
and building of such bridge at loss.
1t is not the way they do business.
The Times believes that deliber-
ate effort is being made to defeat the
building of rim to rim bridge and
that unless the people interested, by
petition voice their disapproval that
the most feasible and most valuable
bridge to the whole county will be kill
ed because of politics. 1t Is time that
taxpayers of this city get their com
missioners on record as to reasons fol
posing such bridge.

Judge Dietrich in the federal dis
|trict court, handed down Wednesday
one Of the most important irrigation
decisions in years, adjusting the d1f-
]ferences of the settlers and the Twin
Falls Salmon River Land & Water
Power company regarding the inter-
probation OF the contract between the
company and the settlers. The deci-
sion is entirely in favor Of the conten-
ton of the settlers on every point
raised. The Judge, however, refuses
to appoint receiver for the company,
saving that the system is apparently
being carefully and intelligently man
aged and no relief is needed in that
respect. The suggestion that re-
ceiyer collect the installments due
for the purpose of creating fund out
Of which to pay damages, meets with
the same objection
ORIGIN OF Action.
The suit was brought by A. E. Cald'
we'll and others for the benefit OF al
settlers on the Salmon River Carey ac1
project, against the construction com.
pany and the state land board. which
/ awarded the contract to the company
A. C. Robinson, who holds the settlers
contracts as collateral for loan, ane
the Commonwealth Trust company, O.
Pittsburg, trustee, were also parties
defendant.
The contract with the state was en-
tered into April 80, 1888, by the com
pany covering $4,000 acres of land
| AT the time the suit was commenced
the company had entered into con
tracts for the irrigation of $1,000
! acres. The complaint OF the settler
was thaxsthe acreage lie greatly In ex
cess OF the aseq FOR which water !
; availab1e,s even during years Of nor
. NAL run-off For this reason they con
tended that the company had faile
!. to comply with the terms of its agree
, ments, and they are refusing to pa
the installments due on the purchas
price. Immediate termination OF tn
controversy is attended with great,
not insurmountable difficulties, Judg
Dietrich finds

The sole source of supply for tn
project is the Salmon river, which

ed to our office at Salt Lake City, has
been referred to us here for reply.
The suspension bridge which we built
for the Indian department, north OF
Flagstaff, had clear span OF $50 feet
between centers of towers. The width
of the bridge was 16 feet and was con-
structed as a single roadway. Teams,
of course, can pass on this bridge,
as Is feet is wide enough to allow
them to do so. The live load on truss
es and cables was 500 pounds per
1ineal foot. The dead load was 500
pounds per lineal foot. The floor
system was designed to carry con-
centrated load of ten tons. The traf-
fic on this bridge is ordinary traffic
passing over country roads. The
bridge was not designed to carry
street cars or locomotive trains.
The anchorages went into solid rock
which the banks on each side of the
canyon were composed of. The canyon
was about 100 feet deep.
In regard to amount of material in
this bridge we would not care to state
as we would be giving away informa-
ton which might be valuable to pos
sible competitors.
The contract price of this bridge was
$S4 100000.

ratio between the water actually avail
able for the system and the aggregate
number of contracts the company Is
able to sell.
Intent Of Company.
Judge Dietrich says that In the first
place, argument of the defendant is
unconvincing In the face OF the fact
that 1t is impossible to believe that
even the most susceptible person
could be induced to sign contract on
the mere chance of sharing with an
indefinite number of others, the water
from system of which they could
have but little information. In con-
nection with this belief he quotes from
the prospectus Of the company which
gives evidence that the company con-
sidered 1t had an abundance OF water
and asks why, with that belief, the
company should not, for the purpose
of making its contracts attractive, in
corporate in the contract an under
taking to furnish a relatively small
specific amount of water
Settlers Contract.
At this point, the court takes uI
| first the settlers contract and later
the contract Of the company with the
state, showing where, despite the as
sertions of the company to the con.
trary, they are consistent with the at
titude of the settlers. The contrac
with the settlers, the judge says, is al
agreement to sell specific water
right of one-hundredth of a secont
foot per acre for each acre Of Ian,
described, and as an incident thereto
a proportionate interest in the irriga
ton system. The technical form O
the contract is quite unimportant, tn
court holds, assuming that the in
strument was not cunningly drawn t,
deceive the unwary. While the tw,
contracts must be read together, tn
court calls attention to the fact tha
the settlers contracts are subsequen
to that OF the company with the stat
and are controlling.
State Contract,
L Taking up the state contract, Judg
Dietrich finds that there is an ar
parent conflict with the settlers cor
The Twin Falls times. [volume] (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1905-1916, 1915-07-02

tracts in paragraph four, where the
state contract says that the capacity
Of the reservoir must be SUFFICIENT to
provide "a acre feet for each acre
to be cultivated. This apparent con-
flict he explains away further In the
opinion by expressing the belief that
the state contract assumed that the
irrigation season being from April
to November l, the first and last
months would be light and the total
amount of one-hundredth second feet
would not be required during that per-
iod, so that "a acre feet would be
the average amount of water used by
each acre during the entire season.

MUST PAY THEIR FINES
Orders Issued In missouri to Collect
$4,000 From Ten Companies.

A mandate issued by the Missouri
supreme court Tuesday ordered Attor-
ney General Barker to collect an ag-
gregate of $4,000 in fines recently
assessed against 10 lumber companies
found guilty Of violations OF the anti
trust laws.
AS far as is known here, none Of the
companies which failed to pay their
fines is now doing business in Mis-
souri,, having retired from the state
! soon after the supreme courts deci-
sion. Proceedings will be started,
however, to levy on the property OF
