CIRCUIT COURT ACCEPTS THEORY
JUDGE DIETRICH THOUGHT
FEASIBLE BUT REJECTED.
PATENTS CANNOT ISSUE UNTIL
WATER IS SECURED
Possibility That New Order May Mean
More Water For Land Than Insured
by Order Revoked Company Ex-
Onerated From Fraud.

Official copies of the decision of the
United States court of appeals for the
ninth circuit in the case of the Twin
Falls-Salmon Land and Water COM
pany, ct al, against A. e. Caldwell, ct
al, on appeal from the decision of
Judge Dietrich Of the United States
district court, show that while the de-
cision of the lower court has been
revised, insofar as it required the COM
pany to furnish two and three-fourths
acre feet of water, it does hold that
the company is bound to furnish the
settlers one hundredth second foot
per acre during the period when it's
beneficial use on the lands under ir-
rigatiOn is necessary, an amount
which it is said, may require the fur
nishing of more water in a season
than was demanded by Judge Diet
rich. The doctrine laid down by the
court of appeals was considered by
Judge Dietrich in his opinion and pro-
nounced feasible and consistent with
the terms of the contract, but was re-
jected by him as less practical and
practicable that the one on which he
based his interlocutory order. On this
subject he said: "a second view is
that we may reject the period of the
irrigation season as not having any
thing to do with the question of the
quantity of water, but only as estab-
fishing the limits Of time beyond
which no water could be furnished,
and adopt the theory that one hun
dredth of a second foot was to be de-
livered during this period at such
times only as the settlers needs re-
quired, without the right on his part
to hoard or save for the future by
failing to use continuously. Such a
right would be closely analogous to
that of one who, as an original appro-
priator, is decreed at the rate of one
hundredth of a second foot per acre of
the natural flow of the stream: he
would have the right to divert that
amount continuously up to the limit
Of the beneficial use to which he
could apply it, but he could not, by
refraining from use today. divert twice
the amount tomorrow. The difficulty
with this view is that it fails to take
account of the necessity of measur-
ing the reservoir. A third view

ALL ELEMENTS AGREEING ON
PLAN TO FORM SATISFAC-
TORY CABINET
CRISIS SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN
PASSED SUCCESSFULLY
Soldiers Cease TO Fraternize With
Germans on the West Front and
Cannon Again Roar Along Almost
The Entire Line,
Omitted Press

PETROGRAD, May 17-Russia has
evidently passed the crisis of her
political sickness and has started on
the road to convalesense. The diff
ferences which existed between the
duma and the soldiers and workmens
council are melting and the work Of
forming a cabinet which seems GER
tain to satisfy all factions is con-
tinued. The executive committee rep
resenting the council of soldiers and
workmen met the duma ministry to-
day and asked that the new cabinet
include three Serial Democrats and
three National Serialists
The alarming reports of anarchy in
VladivOstOck was officially denied to-
day. The fraternizing between Rus
sian and German soldiers has been
stopped along practically the entire
northern front according to a Nord-
sud dispatch which has just been re-
ceived. An incident showing to the
Russians the duplicity of the Ger
man troops is reported to have caus-
ed the cessation of friendly relations.
Certainly the Russian regiment at a
crucial point has withstood all Ger
man Establishments to come out anT
talk matters over. The position the
regiment held was overwhelmed by
asphyxiatiOn gases and intense rifle
and artillery fire and a hurricane Of
hand grenades and trench mortars,
while mines exploded nearby. The
/ Nordsud dispatch declared that great
guns are again roaring over the
greater part of the front and that
the morale of the army is being main
tanned in an excellent manner. A
Russian submarine flotilla today
shelled and silenced a Turkish bat
terry on the Bosphorus. inflicting heavy
damage
Apparently the crucial period in the
dispute between the several factions
has passed and the formation of a
coalition cabinet having the support
of all elements now seems certain.

BUHL SUPERINTENDENT
BECOMES A HUSBANDMAN

A Pioneer reporter was told dur
ing the week that Superintendent
Manning was rapidly developing into
a real tiller of the soil, and when he
called at the high school to see him
was informed that he was out on the
farm north of the school sowing
wheat. A trip to the school farm,
which comprises IL acres, revealed
the fact that the professor was there.
He had a team of roam mares hitched
to a drill and they were covering
the land at a rapid clip. Notwith
standing the fact that the professor
insists on wearing a billed" shirt and
white collar when in the field he
makes a fairly good looking farmer.
AS stated above the school farm
comprises eleven acres, and of this
five acres have been put into wheat
four will be planted to potatoes and
the balance to beans corns, onions and
other garden truck.
Superintendent Manning and Mr.
Harding have done practically all the
work on the farm, working Saturdays
and before and after school hours.
The land has been put in fine condi-
ton and bumper crop is anticipated.
Word was received that J. R. Long
was injured in a runaway this week at
his farm east of Buhl, but particulars
were unavailable.
William Lutz, a farmer southeast
of Bull, suffered a broken leg the
first of the week, when he became
tangled up in a leveler. He received
the attention of a physician and the
broken member has been set, and he
is getting along nicely, but will be
laid up for several weeks.

CHICAGO SLAVE MARKET
MAY Be CONSCRIPTED
HObOes Troop Back From California
for Summer But Are Not Thought
Likely Soldiers.
UNITED Pressl

CHICAGO, May 17-Tramp, tramp,
tramp the boys are marching, but they
won't enlist, seasoned old campaign
ers of the road though they be.
These particular boys whose
summer rendezvous is the Chicago
"slave market" on Madison street near
the river, are variously known as
bundle stiffs, earchewers and mem
bers of the Complete Rest Society. Be
cause of their numerous presence in
the block which boasts more employ
ment Offices than any other in the
world, recruiting officers have dubbed
the place "Slackers Lane"
There are perhaps 2500 of these
knights of the highway. With other
citizens who toll not nor spin, they
have been wintering in Southern
california and Florida, but now they
are flocking back to their old haunts.
Why they congregate among the en-
ployment agencies nobody knows. The
agencies mean nothing to them. Be
cause of these agencies, the /. W. w.
dubbed that part of Madison st. the
"slave market"
At foraging for provisions, recruit
ing sergeants believe these gentle
men would prove an asset to any
army. Uncle Sam needs fighters, but
when the recruiters invaded "Slack-
ers lane" their appeals went unheard
What has the government ever
done for me?" was a stock reply. The
mobilization of unemployed grows
greater daily With selective con-
scription as authority, old-fashioned
press gang" raids may be directed
against the slave market.

BUILDING DEFERRED ON
ACCOUNT OF THE WAR
First National Bank and Kinney
Wholesale Company Think Labor
and Capital Needed More Elsewhere.

In order to permit the use of the re-
quired labor and material in places
where they may prove of greater util-
ity in producing institutions in this
city and have deferred building op-
erations which they have recently
planned
1--WE have determined. to postpone
plans for remOdelling our building so
as to give practically twice our pres
ent banking space" said President
John NJ. Maxwell of the First National
Bank yesterday, "and will get along
for the present as we are Part of the
material has been ordered and will
arrive here before long, and will be
stored until we are ready to use it.
We feel that the labor and material
required in construction work of this
character might be more profitably
employed in supplying the more ur-
gent needs of the country. We ex-
pect to build later but for the pres
ent will not begin.
For similar reasons, Manager Ed
ward ID. Kinney of the Kinney Whole
sale company informed the Times yes
terday that the company intended to
defer the construction of a fourth
warehouse and to arrange to take
care of their business by repairing
the old warehouse. The company
will also build as son as it is assurd
that labor and capital required to con-
struct the new building cannot be
more profitably for the needs of the
country.

a campaign for next week to secure
funds for the organization and for
the purpose of getting more mem
bers into the society. A number of

responded literally, will continue to
give generous support when needs
and conditions are brought home to

momentary appearance Monday even

The river is high now and the
search is difficult. Great credit IS
given to the boy scouts of this city.
Sunday under Scoutmaster E. L. Mac
