The Commercial Club gave their
beautiful new home in the Holverson

evening. Members and their wives
and friends to the number of $50 or

lightful evening.
B. B. Davis presided in happy
manner. Short talks were made by
President Rundstrom, R. E. Rose, v.

sic was furnished by the "Hamfat"

two old Southern melodies. After a
five course luncheon prepared under
the skillful supervision of E. M. Reil-

dow, nimble feet pirouetted in the

GREAT WAR FILM
"Womanhood" Coming to Ideal Thea.
ter October 16

The Ideal Theater has been fortun-
ate in securing the great war film
"Womanhood, the Glory of a Nation
featuring Alice Joyce and Harry T.
Morey, which is billed for Tuesday,
October 16
"Womanhood" is the supreme revel-
alton of the three noblest passions in
woman's life. Rightly called "The
Love Epic of the Screen" it depicts
the love of a maid for a man, the
love of a mother for her child, and the
love of woman for her country. So
vivid is the story, so gripping is the
intensity of the action that it conveys
to the mind and heart emotions so
vital and thoughts so powerful that its
presentation will leave its indelible
impress on your memory.
"Womanhood' is the film of the
hour. At time when the big world
movements are converging to a great
er democracy, this highly dramatic
spectacle will be a moulder of senti-
ment of the country, and inspiration
to the people, and perhaps the might
lest force to strike home the impera-
tive needs of the moment.
AT recent showing of this great
war film at the Majestic Theatre in
Boise, all house records for attendance
we're broken.

IRRIGATION DIST RICT
WINS SUIT
Court Holds That No Equity in
Canyon Canal Exists for
Smith Lien

The Emmett Irrigation District won
an important victory, when Judge
Smith of the district court yesterday
rendered a decision in the case OF
Johnson Craig ct al VS.. j. W. Smith
in favor of the district.
1t will be remembered that about
year ago, judgment was given j. w.
Smith in a suit to foreclose labor
lien on the Canyon canal. Smith was
one of the sub-contractors when the
canal was constructed and on account
of disagreement as to the classiflca-
ton of the work, no settlement was
made with the contractors, Farls &
Kesl. The claim ran along until, with
interest charges, it amounted to over
$4,000. When the canal was sold
at sheriff's sale, Smith bid it IN. The
case was carried to the supreme court,
which ruled that Smith was entitled
to judgment if there was any equity
left in the canal. To decide this ques-
ton, Johnson Craig, who owns wa
ter contract, brought suit, alleging
that more water had been sold than
the canal would carry and therefore
there was no equity for Smith to at
tach. The court took that view. The
opinion of Judge Smith is short and
is as follows:
In this case the court. adopts the
view of and finds for plaintiff.
The motion of the defendant to
strike out certain portions of the COM
plant is denied.
In brief, the decision is in favor
of the settlers on every point, leaves
Smith absolutely nothing and will
leave all the water rights free and
clear of his lien.
