At the Alta.

A mans losing fight against the
craving for drink, his fall to the
depths, his rise through the spirit of
revenge. and ultimate triumph
through love, form the basis of The
objectionable Sin," the new World
Film feature in which Holbrook
Blinn. the noted dramatic screen star,
will be seen at the Alta on Thursday
only.
No actor of the present day eXcels
Mr.. Blinn in the delineation of vivid
and powerful types, and in this pic
ture he is exceptionally fortunate in
having a role that impels him to run
the gamut of emotional expression as
well as picture widely contracting
strains of character. He appears
first as wealthy, carefree young
man and depicts with graphic power
the gradual moral and physical de-
cay resultant from his over-indulgence
in drink, Again the power of his per-
sonality fairly vibrates the screen as
he portrays his regeneration, his tri-
umph over his enemy, and his great
moment of sacrifice.
MIR. Blinn has been surrounded by
remarkable cast that includes such
favorites of the film world as Helen
Fulton, Lila Haywood Chester, Wal
ter d. Greene, William A. Morton and
Charles d Mackay. The picture was
directed by Barry O'Neill.

Burks as the female Of the species

Action-Way Kept Open

The directors of the Black Canyon
Irrigation district are preparing to re-
Quest a temporary withdrawal OF the
Carey Act lands within the Black Can
Won district, which will hold the lands
withdrawn for year after the same
has been approved by the department
in Washington.
1t is expected that the present Con-
press will appropriate sufficient money
to survey the Black Canyon in its en-.
.tirety and sufficient data be obtained
which will show plan for the irriga-
ton of said lands that will be reason
able in cost and that will be approved
by the department
Until three years ago the mere rec
ommendation of the State Engineer
was all the Secretary of the Interior
required for these Carey Act segre-
cations, because the State was assum-
ing the responsibility OF retaining
the lands, but about three years ago
the department changed its regula-
tons and now the department inquiries
into the water supply and feasibility
of the construction of dams and reser-
voirs before it makes the order grant
ing the permanent segregation.
The General Land Office rejected
the application for permanent segre'

So we would have water for approx
mately $4,000 acres outside of the old

This would indicate that there is plen

September.
at must however be distinctly un-
derstood that the above figures are
only rough estimates and that numer-.

operation which will change the results
materially. The point to be made is
that there is surplus water over and
above that necessary for the lands at
present under bitches, apparently
enough for all the land tributary to
the Boise river and it behooves the
land owners on the Black Canyon and
all the other water users under the
Boise river to investigate conditions
carefully and agree upon some plan
for the extension of the present boun'
daries of the Boise Project so that the
maximum amount of land can be irri.

tributed over as much land as possible

Than at First Contemplated.

c. R. Trowbridge of Washington.
who was sent to the Boise project by
Mr.. Lane, secretary of the interior,
was in Caldwell yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Trowbridge is evidently going to
the bottom of affairs on this project.
Yesterday he met with Mr.. c. M. Ran
kin and others for the purpose of out
lining the investigation. Nothing was
made public but those who talked with
Mr.. Thowbridge seem to feel better.
They think that he intends making an
investigation, and that he will take the
Smith report as his basis.
