Wealthy Young Farmers for
Husbands-Are Released
From Contracts.

Monroe.-The little love god, Cupid,
is causing great havoc in the ranks of
the rural teaching force in Green
County this year, according to County
Superintendent John N Burns.
Already more than 10 per cent of
the teachers in the rural schools have
been married, although the school
IT rumors are to be relied on fifty
fifty new teachers will be needed in
the county to replace those who leave
the schoolroom for the side Of some
worthy man for the battle of life. This
will mean that practically one-third of
the teachers in the rural schools will
be married during the present school
year, there being 156 country schools
in the county
The desertion from the ranks of the
teachers has not been stopped in the
least by the fact that contracts are
now made between the school boards
and the teachers for one year. NO
school board in the county has been
found so hard hearted that it would
refuse to permit the teacher TO break
her contract at any time during the
school year.
OF the seventeen teachers who have
married since the opening of the
school year, all have won wealthy
young farmers, many of them owners
of fine dairy farms, with fine blooded
stock, and with high powered auto
mobiles to bring them to the city when
they want to run in for a spool of
thread or a chocolate sundae

OAKLEY SETTLERS OPPOSE
ACCEPTANCE OF WORKS
Land Board Complies With Entry
mems Wishes and Requests Govern
mcnt TO Withhold Patents.

Complying with the petit
ton of the settlers on the Oakley pro-
iect the land board has requested the
government to withhold patents on
the lands embraced in that project un-
til a more satisfactory showing is
made as to the adequacy Of the water
supply.
me settlers on that project are also
opposed to acceptance of the works OF
the project as complete and believe
that issuance of patent by the United
States should be delayed by the state
until all of the project troubles are
settled. while the Twin Falls-Oakley
Land & Water company should retain
control of the project and should not
be permitted to turn it over to the
Oakley Canal company. They also
want the land board to set aside the
demand of the irrigation company re
curing the settlers to make all pay
ment in arrears before they can Sc
cure water for the 1916 season. Hav-
ing had a crop failure last year be-
cause of the shortage of water the set
tiers declare they are unable to meet
the payments the company is insisting
upon.
These were the facts brought out at
hearing of the state land board held
and representatives of the Twin Falls
Oakley project regarding the project
conditions Governor Alexander, At
torney General Patterson and Secre-
tary of State Barker made the trip.
The investigation brought out the fol-
! lowing additional facts:
The original segregation was 55,472,
acres, 1858 were private lands and
1920 state lands, making a total OF
67,25O The amount of land actually
sold by the company was $4,000 Pri-
vate lands sold amounted to 10000 and
state lands 1000, making total OF
10000 Lands subject to cancellation
amount to 10000 acres. The amount OF
land under cultivation in 1913 was H.
300 acres; 1914, II 500 acres; 1915, 21,-
500 acres. The water supplied by the
company in 1913 was 1855. A similar
amount was supplied in 1914.
Speaking of the progress of the dry
farmers in the country between Bur
ley and Oakley, the governor said OF
his return to Boise
"The country between Burnley anC

and made the president the RESPONSE
BILE head of the entire executive branch
of the government If this principle
is good for the success of business
corporation and the efficient conduct
of the nations business, it is also just
as applicable to the affairs of this
state.
"This principle applies even more
forcibly for the efficient administra-
ton of state affairs under the pri-
mary system; for the individual voter
hardly obtains even a fair Opportun-
ity to pass upon the qualifications of
the many candidates for state offices.
The state government is now respon-
sive to the will of the people, but 1t
is deplorably wanting in efficiency.
Commanding leadership is now neces-
sary for the realization of an efficient
state government 1t can best be OBJ
tanned by centralizing the executive
powers of the state in the hands of its
chief executive.
Il have little or no sympathy with
the movement on foot to make of the
direct primary a hyphenated conven-
ton system. 1t would be a step back
ward-away from responsive govern
ment-and would only tend to more
complicate an already complex sys-
tenn of nominating laws. If it should
be necessary 10 lnOully our primal =
laws, we should turn our faces toward
the rising sun rather than to the hori-
zon of yesterday In that event, we
should apply the principle of the short
ballot, and make our state govern
ment efficient by centralizing execu-
tive authority in the governors office
, Our government as well as oul
: business has become too complicated
There are too many middlemen in th'

business, who are reaping the reward
of labor's toll. We must return to tn

that the state cannot create pros

CONTRACT SIGNED FOR
LOST RIVER PROJECT
Land Board Concludes Negotiations
With Utah Construction Co. For
Completion OF Project.

BY a vote of four to one the mem
hers of the state land board in special
meeting held in Boise recently, enter
ed into a contract with tie Utah Con-
struction Co. for the completion of the
work on the Big Lost River project.
Governor Alexander is the only mem
her of the board who did not agree to
the terms OF the contract.
All factions and parties Interested
we're represented by attorneys. Rep
resenting the recently organized Big
Lost River Water Users association.
Chas. e. Clark. VIM. A. BrOdhead and
Senator Ravenel Macbeth appeared. IL
was their contention that the board
was not properly guarding the rights
of the settlers in the Mackay district
who are getting water from the Big
Lost river and Antelope creek, and
whose state permits were subsequent
10 the filing of the construction com
pany.
All is not harmony among the set
tiers in this regard however, which
is proven by the fact that the settlers
already on the project were represent
ed by a committee among themselves
and of their own selection. They con-
tend that unless the Utah Construc-
ton company or some other company
does not carry out the original con-
tract that the water rights are useless
as the settlers are unable to do any
thing themselves in the matter.
With the signing of the contract fol
the completion of the Big Lost River
project, the state land board has set
tied one of the most veXatious prob
lens that state officials have had tC
deal with.
More than seven hundred settlers
residing in practically every state il
the Union had purchased water right
from the Big Lost River company
and the disastrous failure of the com
pany has been responsible, in a larg
measure, for the unfortunate reputa
ton gained for Carey act projects Il
Idaho. These settlers have their right
protected under the new contract wit
the Utah Construction company to tn
extent of all moneys they have paid i
ON their old contracts with the defunC
company.
The completion of the Big Los
River project will be a big step to
ward rehabilitating Carey act pro
iects in Idaho, in the opinion of thOs
we'll versed in irrigation matters
will also mark the introduction
whereby the danger of opening larg
tracts of land to settlement before wa
ter is provided will be averted. TIL
water supply is first developed an
the land is disposed of only after
is demonstrated that there is waite
for its irrigation.
The interests of the Utah ConstruC
ton company are more or less closel
aligned with those of the Oregon Shol
Line and the Utah-IdahO Sugar con
pany, and il is predicted that the con
pletion of the project will result

SUNDERLIN FAVORS
SHORT BALLOT PLAN
Candidate for Attorney General From
Burley Wants Authority COncen-
trated in Responsible Head.

BURLEY-The short ballot for state
officials, resulting in the concentra-
ton of power in the hands state
executive, upon whom popular atten-
ton is conferred, is the central plank
of the platform of principles put forth
by Charles A. Sunderlin in announc-
ing his candidacy for attorney general
subject to the action of the Republl-
can state primaries. Mr.. Sunderlln
declares himself against indiscrimin-
ate prosecutions and perse utions,
which he says has turned the state
asunder for years and resulted in at
tacks being made on public men Of
known integrity: He says:
The office of attorney general calls
for a lawyer capable of large con-
structive service. The duties of this
office are far beyond that of prose-
cutor. There is a great work to be
done in the way of welding together
the conflicting interests that are re-
presented on our uncOmpleted irriga-
ton projects, efficient attendance up
on the public land business. besides
the ordinary and regular legal work
| The harmonious solution or our irrl-
cation problems in a way that will
preserve every reasonable right OF
both the settlers and construction
companies will go far in re-establish-
ing prosperity and financial stability
in southern Idaho"

sources-timber and mines-and it,
agricultural lands are so productive
that the farmer, the stOckraiser, thu
