Survey OF BLACK
CANYON PROJECT
Completion. of Work Will
Mean Much to Town of
Middleton.

Middleton, April 2b.-That an era OF
growth and development is in store for
this town and its surrounding country
is now the belief of It's citizens as a
result of the completion by the federal
reclamation service of a survey Of that
unit of the Black Canyon irrigation
district, which Is located near town.
This portion of the project comprises
$4,000 acres OF highly fertile land, and
it's certainty of securing water means
its settlement and great addition to
the trade territory of the merchants.
This survey has been made upon the
assumption of receiving water from the
Arrowrock supply of water, and it is
understood that the estimated cost is
from SGT to $50 per acre. This unit of
the great project is immediately north
of Middleton and very close to 1t. 1t
is claimed that the other unit of the
Black Canyon district can be watered
from the Payette river. 1t has an area
Of similar proportions.

Prohibition made decided forward step.
 Michigan has voted for statewide
The Little River news., 1916-11-11

prohibition by 75,OO0 mapority, Neb- raska by 35,OOO, Montana by 10000, and South Dakota by 25,00O. Idaho has adopted prohibition constitu tiinal amendment by a majority of three to one.
 Twenty-four of the forty-eight stat es have now declared for statewide prohibition, and more than 60 per cent of the population and 85 per cent # the area of the country is dry.
 As far as can be gathered from the returns the predicted Progressive de- lection to WiA on after Colonel Roose- velt's attempt to drive them back into he Republican ranks has been veri- fled by the results.
 In every Western state which went for Wilson there are enough Progress sives to have swung the electorial vote the other way had they supported Hughes. In most in tances where Col. Roosevelt attempted to secure Hugh es votes by personal appeal the peo- pie voted for Wilson.
 It is clear that the Progressive party instead of being absorbed by the Re publican party, remains still indepen- dent and yet may have to be reckoned with another year.
 While two cities with large German American populations. Cincinnati and Milwaukee supported Hughes. St. Louis. with an equally large German American citizenry, supported Wilson. In other cites there was no indica- ten that Americans of German extra ction had voted as unity for any par t;cular candidate.
 The stubborness with which the Re publican leaders held their hope for Hughes relaxed toward night, when California 'howed finally that it was for Wilson.
 In the evening there seemed to be grim determination to endeavOr by legal means to take away the plurali- ties in doubtful states which the lead CTS admitted privately existed in Will sons favor.
 As the last hope of California final ly flickered and went out there was Title talk of contesting. It is likely that there will still be legal fights ill some of the state. notably New Hamp- shire, but the probability is that these will be mere formalfties.

VOTE
 FROM STATE
Act No. }, Amendment 13 Are Defeat ed-NO. 12 Is Likely to Carry.
 Vote In State 13O,OOO.

Little Rock, Nov. 9.-With partial | returns available from 70 out of 75 counties in the state last night, the only perceptible change in the results on the actti and amendments over those of Tuesday night were lessening of the leads for Act Mo- and Amend ments No. 12 and No. IA, and a re- versal of the lead for Amendment Mo- 13. The returns, representing. it was believed, nearly one-half the total vote indicated.
 That Act No. 2, which would sub- stitute local option for prohibition. will be defeated by vote of at lea7t two to one. The vote on this act was heavier than on any other.
 That Amendment No. 13, the initia- l tive and referendum, probably will be defeated. It was running behind the returns received Tuesday and the vote l for it was considerably less than a ] majority of the total vote cast. That Amendment No. 12, the school I amendment, probably will carry. While it was not leading proportion l ately by the same majority ak on Tuesday night it was evident that it | will receive more yates than those | against it and probably more than a ! majority of the votes cast.
 While Amendment No. IA, the road tond measure, was not leading by as great majority proportionately as on | the first returns, it had heavy lead and probably will be adopted. | The returns received indicated that the total vote cast will be around 130,- 900 and that President Wilson's plu- rality will be between 35,000 and 40,- poo. The majorities for Dr. c. H Trough, Democratic candidate for gov ernor and other Democratic candidat- es for state officers, will be approXi mately the same.
 The returns showed the election o several independent and Republican candidates for county offices. O1 most interest was the election O. Houston Emory d state senator iron Garland and Montgomery counties Mr. Emory was a candidate for tht Democratic nomination, but was barr ed from the ticket by te county ant state committees. As an independen he opposed o. H. Sumpter. The cleo tion of Jacobs, Republican. for sheriff of Johnson county. was claimed.
 Incomplete returns indicated th' election of Johnson, Republican, fo
 heriff of Carroll county over Coffey Democrat. Mack Curley. Republican was apparently reelected sheriff o Madison county, but the Democrat made gains in the others county races Two years ago all Republican candi dates except collector were elected In Washington county Morton, Demo crat, was running very close witl Rice Republican, for sheriff.

Ieere are two reasons why I want you to do this: First, the amount necessary to pay in full is not covered by cash and subscriptions. I think all will pay what they have promibed, tut if you should fail, it only makes more work for me, because I am not going to hold up until we get it or until start to conference The other reason is that mailing it to me will only cost you one cent, and will save me much work. I have already re- ceived quite a lot that way. When We are short quite little yet, if you Will pay every dollar that you have promised l will guarantee that all will be paid in full at conference.
