Boise, Idaho, Oct

BOISE, ldahO, oct. Z, 1915.
The article in the Idaho Falls Times

pudent and false. 1t was upon Cover

Tom Coffin was paid $3.50 for his work

praised her unbiased presentation of
her plea for help for the. eastern wo-
men. 1t is scarcely conceivable to
Idaho men that the refinement and
intelligence represented by these two
ladies should be looked upon by east
ern men as unfit for the ballot, while
extending the right to all of the oppo-
site sex regardless of ignorance or un-
fitness. The division on the mere
physical fact of sex, instead of the
intelligence and culture of the voter
seems far from justice and right and
it is but a question of time until those
eastern women will share with their
western sisters in the privilege of
shaping public policies.

sHosHoNE HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Last Friday a football game was
played at the ball park between the
Wendell and Shoshone high schools
Shoshone very honestly won the game
19 to 7. The game was fast and ex-
citing from start to finish, although
it was somewhat rough. Men on both
teams were knocked out. Charles Will
son, captain of the Shoshone team. in
jured his ankle in such a way. that he
will not be able to play for some time.
The touchdowns were made by the
righ end, Lawrence Cullen,half back,
Edwin Crosse and left end. Sterling
Newman.
The committe of girls made excellent
progress soliciting from the business
men for the athletic fund. The girls
collected s61.OO. showing that the town
people are ready to help support our
school affairs. We certainly appre-
ciate this help and hope that they
will never be ashamed of the high
ScnOOt teams.
If any man hasn't been called upon
to contribute to this fund, don't feel

SENATOR NORRIS AT JEROME

Circumstances made it necessary to
change the place of Senator Norris
speaking from Shoshone to Jerome
for last Tuesday night. In spite of
the rain which made the roads slick
and nasty, several car loads of inter-
ested people went to Jerome to hear
the senator. They al claim they were
more than repaid for the trip. The
senator is astrong, impressive speaker
He has no flights of oratory or ap-
peals to prejudice, just a plain talker
who hits hard and often, making his
appeal to the reason rather than the
emotions of his hearers. He told no
stories nor made no effort to interest
his audience except his appeal to
their interest as citizens in a momen-
tous campaign in which the honor and
integrity of the country is at stake.
The fact that he held large audi
ence SPELL bound for two hours, speaks
well for his ability The audience
seemed as much in earnest as the
speaker and the hearty and frequent
applause over a plain statement of
facts unembellished with wit or sar-
casm indicated that the audience was
in strong sympathy with the speaker.
1t was the kind of a speech that makes

and stated that he would make a full
breast of the situation and would go
over the books in the treasurer's Of
flee and indicate the entries showing
the loot of the treasury. He stated that
he and Allen had secured interest upon
warrants and that there were many
other items which would greatly in
crease the total of the defalcations
over the amount that was shown in the
cash when Axel Ramstedt made his
report In as many words as the gov
ernor could. without saying so directly.
he promised Fred Coleman immunity
if he assisted the state in making good
its claim.
The matter of bringing the suit and
securing the legal evidence in the
treasurer's office against the surety
company was referred to the attorney
generals office and the attorney gen.
eral employed T. C. Coffin to do the
work. Coleman made a full confession
and gave to Mr.. Coffin the information
upon which the state recovered tho
large amount from the surety COM
pany.
The land board upon various occa-
sions turned over to the attorney gen.
erals office a number of foreclosures
upon various overdue loans in the land
department. After Mr.. Coffin had fin
ished the work of obtaining his evil
dence in the treasurers office, Mr..
Peterson turned over to him the fore
closure collections.
In the latter part of July, while all
state officials were out of the city, a
lien was attempted to be filed in the
sum of s14.50O in the name of T. C.
Coffin against the judgment rendered
FOR the state, in Judge McCarthy's
court. 1t was stated on good authority
hat T. c. Coffin never filed this at
empted lien but that brother of his
lied the lien claim while he was out

LOCALS WIN BUT
CAPTAIN INJURED

Friday afternoon the local boys tooH
the Wendell boys over the line for
three touchdowns while their oppon-
ents were making one The score at
the close of the contest was 19 to Z
Exceptionally good work was done by
our boys durin gthe second quarter.
The most phenominal play of the
game was a forward pass by Captain
Wilson to Sterling Newman. which re-
suited in a touchdown.
The game went smoothly with the
exception of one injury to Charlie Will
son, the local captain He received a
bad sprain on the under achilles, which
will probably keep him out of the
game with Rupert today.
The boys showed lots Of grit and
gameness, but they also showed a lack
of knowledge of their own signals and
some of them were not in as good
condition as the might have been.
The locals lined up as follows:
Newman, end
Gwin, r. tackle.

No WATER AFTER
OCTOBER FIRST
ACTION TO COMPEL COMPANY
TO CONTINUE DELIVERY
OF WATER

The action of the Idaho Irrigation
company in shutting off all water from
the settlers on October /, regardless
OF contract obligs tions to deliver water
for irrigation until November l. and
also regardless of the needs of the set
tiers, has precipitated a conflict that
must be fought out in the courts. 1t
is claimed on behalf of the company
to clean out the bitches and that it
was authorized by the governor and
the state engineer. The right of these
officials to give the company any au
thority to shorten the Irrigation season
! is questioned, as is also the claim that
such action was necessary at this time.
/ There is at least one water user who
does not propose to stand for this ac-
tion but will make a determined fight
for what he conceives to be his rights.
This water user is Governor Gooding.
AS soon as he learned the intention of
the company and found that no water
would be delivered to him for irriga-
tion after October l, he filed an ac-
tion in the district court, asking for a
writ of mandate to compel the COM
pany to continue the delivery of water.
In his complaint he alleges that he
entered into contract with the COM
pany, under which the latter agreed to
furnish water for irrigation during
the entire irrigation season, and that
the irrigation season is the period ex-
tending from April 1 to November
1. He further alleges the he has
100 acres of alfalfa which he desires
to use for pasturing sheep and unless
this land can be watered the value of
the pasture will be greatly diminished, |
to his great los and damage.
The court was asked to fix October
IL as the date for a hearing on the
petition for a writ of mandate, but
Judge Boutwell, found that his time
would be fully occupied until October
16 an dthis date was set for the hear
ing. In the meantime there will be
no water.
81 am satisfied" said Governor
Gooding. that it is the purpose OF the
to fix October 1 as the end
of the irrigation season, although the
contracts call for the delivery OF water
antil November l. Neither the gov
ernor nor the state engineer has any
to authorize the company to
shut off the water prior to November
[ without consulting the interests Of ,
he people. The interests of the water
users must be consulted in thes mat
Lers, which has not been done in the
past. There are many seasons when ,
irrigation water is needed in October {
or the irrigation of pasture land and
when the ground is dry it is often s
to irigate for fall plowing.
T the water had been kept on for
couple Of weeks longer probably no
ne would have objected to the action s
f the company in shutting it off and
here still would have been sufficient r
ime left for cleaning the ditches."- 7

HER MOTHER LOVE SUPREME
Worthless Son Miracle Of
Loyal Affection.

Joe had violently quarreled with a
woman, the proprietor of the house In
which his disreputable wife lived, be-
cause she withheld from him q part
of his wife's earnings, and in the alter
cation had killed her-a situation, one
would say, which 1t would be difficult
for even a mother to condone. But
not ut all; her thin gray face worked
with emotion, her trembling hands
restlessly pulled at her shabby skirt as
the hands of the dying pluck at the,
sheets, but she put all the vitality she
could muster into his defense. She
told US he had legally married the girl
who supported him, although Lily had
been so long In that life that few men
would have done it; of course such a
girl must have protector or every
body would fleece her; poor Lily said
to the day Of her death that he was
the kindest man she ever knew, and
treated her the whitest; that she her.
self was to blame for the murder be,
cause she told on the old miser, anda
Joe was so hot-headed she might have
known that he would draw a gun for
her." The gasping mother concluded,
"He was always that handsome and
had such a way. One winter when I
was scrubbing in an Office building I'd
never get home much before twelve
o'clock, but Joe would open the door
for me just as pleasant as II he hadn't
been walked out Of sound Sleep" She
was so triumphantly unconscious of
the incongruity Of sturdy son in bed
while his mother earned his food, that
her auditors said never word, and in
silence we saw hero evolved before
our eyes; a defender Of the oppressed,
the best beloved of his mother, who
was losing his high spirits and eating
his heart out behind prison bars. He
could well defy the world even there,
surrounded as he was by that invinci-
BILE affection which assures both the
fortunate and unfortunate alike that
we are loved, not according to our
deserts, but In response to some pro-
founder law.-Jane Adams, in the At.
lantic.

THE WAY TO PLAN YOUR HOME
Each Room Should Have Favorable
Exposure-Here's How to Make
Things Comfortable.

No more important question con-
fronts the homebuilder than the ex-
posure Of the rooms in his prospec-
tive home, for no matter how charm
ing q house may be nor how con-
venient its interior arrangement, it
cannot be entirely successful unless
each room has favorable exposure.
A living room having windows on
its east and west side may capture
both the morning and afternoon sun,
and If. in addition. 1t opens out on a
porch facing the south, no more salts
factory arrangement Is possible.
A porch facing the south makes a
pleasant open-air living room in warm
weather and a CHEEKY, glassed-in sun
parlor in winter.
For the dining room, an easterly ex-
posture Is desirable, thus giving one a
cheerful amount of sunshine for what
is apt to be in many households the
most trying meal of the day.
The model kitchen will have win
dows facing both north and south. This
makes for comfort in summer and adj
mits the late afternoon sun, which con-
siderably lengthens the hours of day
light.
South and west for the chambers is
the correct exposure, with windows
facing both ways, IL possible.
