EMMETT WATER BONDS
UPHELD
Validity of Outstanding Irriga-
tion Issue Sustained by
Federal Court.

United States District Judge F. S
Dietrich upheld the validity of the
outstanding bonds of the Emmett Ir-
rigation district in decision received
Saturday
The courts affirmation of the dis
trict issue was made in deciding the
case of ]. Paul Thompson ct al VS..
the Emmett Irrigation district, an ac-
ton brought for the purpose of OBJ
tanning judicial determination of the
validity of the bonds outstanding.
The district urged the invalidity of
the bonds on the theory that they had
been issued for no consideration or
for purposes unauthorized by law but
the court said, "The district has got
ten from the contracts benefit which
it cannot now restore and rights of the
innocent public have grown up which
would be impaired by any attempt on
the part of the court to reach and can
eel the bonds"
The decision ordered the entering
of decree establishing the validity
of the intervenors' bonds and directing
payment to them of the interest there
on in a ratable proportion from the
funds available for that purpose now
in the hands of the treasurer of the
district.
The directors of the district an
nounce that an appeal will be taken
to the United States Supreme court.
Upon the decision of this court of last
resort will depend whether the en-
tire bond issue shall draw interest
from date of issue.

CAPTURES BEAR CUB ON 1. n
Fireman Catches Month Old Bruin
Ambling Along Railroad Track.

A live Teddy bear now is in the
possession of H. R. Peacock. 1t be-
longs to the black bear family and is
of brownish color and is presumably
about month old. 1t is about the
size of a large cat and has already
become quite a pet.
Two little bears were gamboling
along the Canyon leading to Lakeport
on the Idaho Northern railroad when
they were spied by Mr.. Hargis, a
fireman on the road. He sent Greek
section hand to catch the cubs but the
Greek did not prove to be adept at
this game and when the cub snapped
at him gave it up. So Mr.. Hargis
went after the other bear himself,
and succeeded in making the catch.
Mr.. Peacock got the bear which was
rather hungry, but it is now being
we'll fed, and has even been treated
to chocolate ice cream soda for which
it shows a great liking. Mr.. Peacock
has become attached to the bear since
it is so tractable, and expects to keep
it as pet.-Nampa Leader-Herald.

Official that Fruit Will be Moved

The Yakima Daily Republic of rec.
ent date prints dispatch from Fed
eral officials stating that the fruit
will be considered necessity, instead
of luxury, by the government and
that cars enough will be furnished to

from them. The dispatch is as fol-
lows:
Washington, May 24-The fruit

tive promise to this effect was given
today to Frank Reeves and w. T..

Directors Cannot Be Ousted.

Judge Ed Bryan on Monday hand
ed down a decision in the case of H.
S. Workman VS.. E. j. Reynolds, in
which it was sought to oust Mr.. Rey-
nolds from office as director of the
Emmett Irrigation District, alleging
that he had been guilty of misconduct
in not making certain reports as re-
quired BY law. Judge Bryan in sub
stance held that inasmuch as the re-
ports withheld were not done so for
private gain; that the said reports
would have jeopardized the interests
of the district in pending litigation
and that no harm had been caused
the district by the Withholding of the
reports, therefore the grounds advanc-
ed in the custer proceedings were not
sufficient. Notice of appeal has been
filed by plaintiffs attorney, Geo. F.
Zimmerman.

CITIZENS IN PROTECT.
I'VE BODY
Organization Formed to Act As
Intermediary in Labor
Disputes.

I Disturbing rumOrs of the activitie:
of members of the l. w. W., and other
labor agitators were impelling mo-
tives for the organization of the "Citiz
ems Cooperative Association of EN-
NETT" last evening, with the object of
promoting and protecting our indus
tries, prevent labor troubles and act
as intermediary between employers
and employees"
The meeting was largely attended
by business men and other citizens
having the interest of the city at
heart. The sentiment generally ex-
pressed was that while labor unions
were recognized as necessary organi-
cations in present day economics, the
interference of agitators from outside
of Emmett whose sole interest is to
create disturbances, cause unrest and
endanger the public welfare with no
other object than that of furthering
their own selfish interests would not
be tolerated. Threatening letters
that have been received by officials
of the Boise-Payette Lumber Company
and other indications of |. W. w. ac-
tivities were mainly instrumental in
effecting this organization. AS an in
termediary in disputes between en-
ployers and employees, the association
borac to ba of henafit
Ed Allen was chosen as president
and Claude Polly as secretary. The
president was given power to appoint
an executive committee of five. The
following resolutions, which were un-
animously adopted and signed by
every one present, set forth the OBJ
jects of the association:
Resolved, that in order to promote
and protect our industries, prevent
labor troubles and act as an interme-
diary between employers and en-
ployes, that our city and its inhabit-
ants may prosper, we, the undersign-
ed citizens of Emmett hereby form
ourselves lHIO all VI Z e'ihNaNiOii " NS /

tee that all citizens, business men,
employers and employees, having the
interests of the community at heart,

lent, a secretary and an executive

FEDERAL FARM LOANS
SYSTEM
ID. r. Hubbard, Representative,
Explains Methods Now
Making Loans.

|
eral Farm Loans act was explained in
detail to a well attended meeting Of
farmers held in the Commercial Club
rooms Saturday afternoon by D. R.
Hubbard, appraiser for the Federal
Farm Loan Board of Spokane.
In discussing the new law, Mr.. Hub
bard said in part: "The Federal Farm
Loan act or Rural Credits law is a
measure passed by Congress to meet
a long and urgent demand on the part
of the farmers, especially of the West
and South, to procure credit for their
proper use at lower interest charge
and more liberal terms of repayment
than has been possible in the past.
"The law comes as a result of long
study and very sincere effort on the
part of earnest men to provide a SER
vice both for the borrower and the in
vestor, at once reasonable in cost and
safe beyond doubt While the effect
of the law will be to give better and
more stable value to lands, the pur-
pose was solely to give larger results
to farm management and effort. The
law is to aid in constructive agricul-
ture, to increase production and to aid
in reducing the cost of production by
reducing interest cost and supplying
needed equipment.
"Money may be borrowed at 5 per
int r,lt1-
of less or more than 1 per cent of
the principal, over a period of from
5 to 40 years. The money will be
loaned only for a specific purpose and
can be used only for the purpose for
which it was borrowed. 1t may be bor-
rowed to purchase land, pay indebted
ness, to buy farm equipment or other
wise improve the farm.
"The business is carried on through
a local organization known in this in
stance as the Emmett National Farm
Loan Association. The provisions are
liberal as to terms and amount loaned,
yet the utmost conservatism is requir-
ed in appraising the land. However,
this seems to be provided with ample
safeguards in the system. A loan
committee of three is appointed from
among the members, their approval
and valuation is required; the board
of directors also are required to ap-
prove the loan. The Federal Land
Board also has its own appraiser.
Every borrower is a member of the
local association and is required to
become a stockholder in the land board
in his district to the extent of per
cent of his loan. When his loan is
paid out his investment is returned to
him.
"Valuation is fixed by the present
and prospective producing power of
he land, its proximity to markets and
he ability of the owner to properly
'arm the land. One-half the value of
he land may be borrowed and one
fifth of the value of the buildings.
Orchards are not a considerable i'm
Alfalfa, grain, pasture
,r annual production of such crops
ire the basis of value"
Loans are now being made on bench
IS we'll as other lands in this section,
nd it is probable approximately $780,
100 will be loaned out here as result
# Mr.. Hubbard's efforts. The secre-
ary of the local organization is E.
v. Brown.
