his land, after he made entry of same
with the State Board of Land Com
missioners, applied TO defendant for
contract for the delivery of water
TO said land as 1t was required to do
under its contract with the State of
Idaho, that before he was permitted
to secure such contract he was re-
quired TO sign the b contract, calling
for the payment OF a further sum in
addition TO the regular price of $35
per acre, and that by reason thereof
the said b contract was obtained by
duress and therefore void. The fur
ther claim is made by plaintiff, that
the State Land Board had no author
fly to permit same, and that ii was
beyond the power of said Board and
Company under the law, and was
without consideration. Ii is also
claimed that said contract is void for
the reason that the defendant rep
resented that the railway contem-
plated by said Is contract was to
have been an electric road and TO
be built from Gooding or Bliss via
Wendell and jerome to Miner; that
the only road built was railway op-
Grated by steam from Gooding to
Jerome, and that the time for the
completion of same has expired, and
that Plaintif has received nothing OF
value for said contract, that plain
tin further elects to rescind same.
The complaint prays that the
plaintiffs b contract be cancelled,
annulled and set aside; that the
cloud created thereby upon the title
of this plaintiff be removed and the
right OF the plaintiff In and TO the
said property, TO have and TO hol'
the same free from any right or title

Entirely leaving out the question
of war activities" Mr.. Edison said
the other day, activities which are
simply a hectic flush and do not give
a complexion which indicates the
healthy advance of commercial en-
terprises in the United States, am
satisfied this country has embarked
upon a seven years cruise of pros
perity."
The war, Mr.. Edison believes, will
continue another year, and at its
close many survivors will emigrate
TO the United States to escape the
terrible taxes certain to be levied
upon them" This immigration, he
predicts, will impart increased mo-
mentum to our industrial progress
and rising prosperity. 1t will COM
prise a host of European farmers
who understand intensive arming,

America needs. Where we are get

to get 40. These European farmers
can produce the large amounts, too"
Mr.. Edison's roseate vision looks
good to the west, for the west has
the vacant lands to tender the war

pire alone has fertile soil for several
million of them, and even then the
population here would fall far short
of the density of Germany, France
