DISPOSITIONS ARE
TAKEN FOR TRIAL
Suit Involving Affairs of
North Side Tract to Be
Tried Soon.

An echo of the early troubles of the
Twin Falls North Side Irrigation pro-
ject was heard in the state land de-
partment today when r.. V. Wilcox, q
well known attorney of Wendell, APP
peared before officials and took depo-
sitions to be used in the trial of suit
epnding before the circuit court of St
Louis, Mo, entitled Elise Leudekng VS.
Edwards ct al. The plaintiff is seek
ing to recover $4,000 invested in bonds
issued on this project and handled by
the defendants, brokers.
The bonds were issued and purchas-
ed in 1909 at which time 1t is al
legged in the complain of Elise Leude-
king that the broS erage firm repre-
sented to her the project was complet-
ed, the land under it was in cultiva-
ton and worth from SIS to $500 per
acre and that there was an ample
water supply none of which alleged
facts or representations were true and
that therefore they had been misrepre-
sented to her at the time she pur-
chased the stock. The attorneys in st.
Louis who have her case placed the
matter of securing DISPOSITIONS in the
land department In the hands Of Mr..
Wilcox and he has been in Boise for
that purpose. The records show, it is
alleged, that the project was not COM
pleted at the time the bonds were
purchased; that there was not suffi-
cient water at that time but in fact
there was but small amount of water
for irrigation purposes and that the
land was not worth the price as rep
resented. 1t is claimed work is stilt
hot, IA hot
was but short time ago that addi-
tional bonds were put up as security
with the state to guarantee its com
pletion.
What is better news than the It'll
cation, however" said Attorney VIII
cox" is that the settlers on the north
side project have had good crops this
year and are getting good prices for
their produce while lands are selling
at better prices and real estate is
moving"

NO DECISION IN

Taken Under Amusement
by Supreme Court After
the Argument.

The supreme court. this afternoon
and evidence submitted in the Latah
county contempt case in which the
members of the board of commission
ers of that county were cited for viola
ton of the instructions of the court in
the matter of a levy for road pur-
poses The case occupied the attention
of the court for two days, starting yes
terday morning and continuing to a
late hour this aftern BON.
There is great deal OF interest in
the case in Latah county and it is
said to be playing a conspicuous part
in the political campaign which is be-
ing waged there although little If any
of this came to the surface during the
hearing before the supreme court A. S.
Lyon and John Wooday. members of
the board of commissioners, appear
ed in person before the court It is
alleged that they violated the drec-
tons of the court by making special
instead of a general road tax levy and
that they are therefore in contempt or
court. g
The Potlatch Lumber company filed
ii
charging that they violated the law
and the courts instructions by their
failure to comply with -emptory
writ issued by the supreme court in
which they were instructed to make
the general levy. The commission
ers answered by setting forth that they
compiled with the law and that they
only acted on the advice of the county
attorney. Much of the evidence that
was submitted to the court had to do
with the conditions existing in Latah
county at the time the levy was made
and the reasons for making it. The
commissioners hold that under the
circumstances they were justified In
making the levy and that they believed
they were taking action that would
be of general benefit to all the people

TIMELY TOPICS

President of Farmers Ma
tional Congress Speaks on
Prosperity, Preparedness
and Adamson Law.

Indianapolis, Oct. II. - Prosperity,
preparedness and the Adamson eight
hour law were among the subjects dis
cussed by II. E. Stockbridge of Allan
ia, Ga, president of the Farmers Ma
tional Congress. at the opening session
of the annual meeting today. He de-
clared the European war had shown
that successful warfare. offensive or
defensive, depends greatly on the de-
gree of Industrial preparedness. The
present prosperous condition of Amer
lean agriculture is the best possible
proof of the degree of efficient man
agement on American FARMS he de-
clared.
Referring to the recent railroad
strike situation, Stockbridge. calling
attention to assertions that the eight
hour work day Is a non arbitrable prin-
ciple, said no attempt as yet had been
made to apply 1t to farm labor. yet
the farmer was the chief immediate
sufferer from the recent attempt at
enforcing this principle in another in
dustry," he said.

REVISION OF THE
BOOK OF COMMON
PRAYERPR0POSED
Shortening of Five of the
Ten Commandments Rec
commended by Commission
to Convention.

St Louis, Oct. 17.-Revision and
shortening of five of the Ten Com
mandments as they appear in the Book
of Common Prayer and the elimination
of Good Friday prayer which classes
the Jew with Turks, infidels and
heretics," were proposed in the report
of the joint commission on the Book
of Common Prayer submitted to the
general convention of the Protestant
Episcopal church today.
The commission, consisting of seven
bishops, seven clergymen and seven
laymen, under the Craftsmanship of Rt.
Rev. Courtlandt Whitehead, bishop Of
Pittsburg, was appointed by the 1918
convention of the church to revise and
enrich the book of common prayer,
adapting it to modern conditions.
1t was proposed to eliminate por-
tions of the first five commandments
on the ground that the arguments for
the observance of divine law in the
Ten Commandments may actually be
understood in the laws themselves,
and also to shorten and make more
impressive the church service. Fur
Their, it was held that the reasons,
which applied in Israel do not neces-
bdIlly Apply lOudys ne iSNlS0u NCt
sion of the five commandments as pro-
posed follows:
Prayer book a.
l. Thou shalt have no other Gods
but me.
2. Thou shalt not make unto thy
self any craven image, nor the like
ness of any thing that is in the heaven
above, the earth beneath, or in the
waters under the earth; Thou shalt not
bow down to them nor worship them.
3. Thou shalt not take the name of
the Lord, thy God, In vain.
4. Remember that thou keep holy
the Sabbath day.
8. Honor thy father and thy mother.
The commissions report recon-
mended that the present Good Friday
prayer: "Have mercy upon all Jews,
Turks, Infidels and heretics," be re-
vised to read, Have mercy upon all
who know Thee not, as revealed in the
Gospel of Thy Son." thus eliminating
q classification which to many has
been Objectionable.
Numerous suggestions for the en-
richment OF the prayer book to meet
modern conditions were advanced
Among these were the adoption of
prayers for labor, for the army and
navy, for schools and colleges. for state
legislatures and a patriotic prayer for
