such as the farm markets bureau, sec
rotary of state, state treasurer, horti
cultural inspector and state veternar-
ian, had To be changed and altered SO
as to completely satisfy these various
heads. 1t was also up several times
before the agricultural committee of
the house and after being whipped
into final shape was introduced as
II bill of this committee. This gives
our measure Il good deal of prestige
and assures it much more support than
if il had been introduced by an indi
pdual measure The bill is taking IT'S
regular course, having now been print
ed and should be through the lower
house within u week or 10 days at the
outside. 1t seems probable that the
bill will receive little if any OPPOSE

The amount Of the appropriation VIII

tons bill, and we ask for S2o,OOo for
the livestock show and $4,000 for q

PETITION FOR THE
ORGANIZATION OF A
DRAINAGE DISTRICT

\ petition FOR the organization OF
drainage district No. of Ada county,
including practically all the lands be-
tween Collister and Caldwell on the
north side of the Boise river, was filed
late yesterday in district court by b.
+. Neal, attorney for the "a settlers
seeking the creation of the district.
The proposed district contains APP
proximately 10000 acres. OF that
amount 7473 acres is represented by
the petitioners. The farmers of the
section which is proposed to be drained
hold that only through the drainage of
their lands can the fertility of the soil
be maintained.
The proposal for creation OF small
or district, including lands in the vi
cinity OF Star, was brought into court
some months ago, but was resisted as
many felt the district was not nearly
large enough The success of the
drainage on the south side by the gov
eminent, by which much land was re-
claimed, has been an incentive to the
farmers to create a district on the
north side.

had saved a girl who was dancer
from a terrible fate" He only saw
her a few times. Then they parted in
the stream of life and TO meet again

remembers the incident and the girl
well, yet how she found him and her
gift of 5000 is mystery. The letter
further stated that some day she was
coming back to get him. but that 1t
would be long time. The letter gave
the information that she was now
