HEARING CONTINUED
IN STEWART DECREE
CASE AT CALDWELL

Caldwell, Dec 22.-At the conclusion
of yesterdays session of the hearing OF
the Stewart decree case, an action to
fix the duty Of irrigation for the lands
of the Boise valley which has been iii
progress before Judge Bryan in the
district court the past week. an ad-
journment In the further hearing Of the
case was taken subject to its resump-
ton upon the order of the court.
A. V. Tallmah. water master of this
Boise river for the past three irri-
cation SEASONS, occupied the witne -
stand practically all day Thursdav
After a complete statement as to thu
conditions affecting the delivery Of
water to the canals diverting water
from the Boise river and as to the re-
suits obtained had been testified to-
Mr.. Tallman gave as his opinion that
the most equitable duty Of water for
the lands of TIE Boise valley was the
duty established for the irrigation sea
son of 1917. This duty gave to the
Boise valley canals the quantities Of
water and prlorities esta blished BY
the Stewart decree. until such time as
there was insufficient natural flow In
the Boise river to fill all decreed rights
to 100 per cent of said Stewart decree.
Thereafter each right was cut 20 per
cent beginning with the latest right
and continuing until all rights had
been cut % per cent. AS the river
continued to decrease in volume y
further cut Of Is per cent was made
according to priorities beginning with
the newest right and so on down the
list until ali rights were cut to 60 per
cent of a full right, 80 per cent of the
Stewart decree being the highest duly
possible. Mr.. Tallman further testi
fled that permanent duty Of water
for any of the canals in the Boise val
ley was very uncertain quantity due
principally to the changing seasonal
conditions and that duty of water
that would apply for one season would
not necessarily apply for the next sea-
son, as shown by data introduced for
the years 1915. 1916 and 1917.

Concernlnu Ices.

The storage Of ice for summer use
has been practiced from the earliest
times. The Greeks, for instance, con-
structed icehouses hundreds Of years
before the Christian era, and we know
that Alexander the Great, when at
Pera, in India, had large pits dug and
filled in with snow, which was COW
cred over with layers of leaves. The
ice or frozen snow was used as oc-
casion required, both as an iced drink
itself and also to cool other drinks.
The Romans also enjoyed the luxury
of iced drinks, but they generally iced
them by putting ice or snow into the
liquid. At a later period the Turks,
improving upon Alexander's method,
had well-constructed vaulted cellars
in which they stored large blocks of
ice, filling up the interstices with
snow, so that the whole formed a
solid block or small iceberg. France
followed this plan for ages, but it was
not until the end of the sixteenth
century that the French people learn
ed how to freeze water ertifcially.
Shaped and nodded water ices were
eaten In France in 1850, and were
soon afterwards introduced into Eng
land. Cream ices were the luxury of
later day, and when first introduced
were very primitive compared with
the daintily favored, colored and
shaped ices Of the present time.
