William Boyd and John Carmack of
Seattle have taken bond on the
South Fork mine, between Golden and
Elk City. The property was sampled
by Mr.. Carmack last week. This prop-

mill, and has produced considerable
gold during the last 10 years. At pres

EDGAR G. STEELE,
Judge
The Grangeville globe. [volume] (Grangeville, Idaho) 1907-1922, 1917-02-22

Last week Judge Steele rendered
decision in the water right case, where
i'm James McKinnon. of Elk City, ask
cd that an Injunction be issued against
the Black Pine Mining company, OF
that section. restraining them from the
use of certain waters over which the
nlaintiff claimed prior right. A. ).
Hardy and Judge Ailshie represented
the plaintiff in the case and w. n.
Scales the defendant. AS the decision
is on the important question OF prl-
ority of right in water usage, ana eI-
fects one of our neighboring mining
communities, we give Judge Steele
decision in full. The decision says:
In this case the court finds that the
defendant the Black Pine Mining com
nonv had appropriated the waters OF
t;lasser gulch for beneficial purpose
long prior to the time that the plalntln
NcKinnon attempted to take the wa
ters from another gulch through GiaS-
ser gulch. and take portion OF the
wafer which had been previously ap-
nronriated by the defendant, the Black
pine Mining company, and the court
holds that the said defendant has the
right TO the use of said waters, and
that the plaintiffs first cause of action
is without merit.
The court also finds that after the
dam was constructed 10y the Black PINE
Mining company that the said com
many made large expenditures OF mon
az in improving their mining plant
depending upon the said dam for tht
nraner working of the said mining
claim. and the court finds that the
said McKinnon gave the Black Pine
Mining company the right to construc'

ceeded to prove his claim to the sat
isfaction of those present. The log
ical conclusion of the facts and argu-
ments presented was that IL the whole
farming community was reaping a
material benefit from the warehouse
enterprise, that the farmers as a whole
should be willing to take a hand and
extend the field of operations to in
clude an elevator and Touring mill.
1t was clearly shown by Frank Nc
Crane and E. S. Sweet that the cause
of failure on the part Of mills In the
past had been due to lax business
methods, cut of date machinery and
the quality of wheat used. That all of
these drawbacks could be eliminated
at this time and would be in case this
new enterprise was launched under
such efficient management as that un-
der which the warehouse company was
run. The Marcus wheat which has
been introduced on the prairie in the
last few years, has proven to be the
very best Of milling wheat and is adapt
ed to this soil and climate, and the
Bluestem variety also ranks high foI
milling. That as good quality OF
-four can be made here as anywhere
on earth, there is no question. Among
those who spoke at the meeting were
George Cowgirl, Frank McGrane, j
Frank Sims. X. w. Overman, e. S
Sweet, G. o. Vincent, VIM. Zumwalt
James Lyttle, Henry Meyer, Captain
Castle and Mr.. Dufur.
At the close of the speaking sub
Scription papers were laid on the Ia
| hleS in the room and all who desired
| to take hand iii the erection of al
elevator and mill in Grangeville ant
1 an elevator in Fem were given tn
opportunity to do so. Almost ever,
man present, whether farmer or citi
zen, came forward and cheerfully sub
scribed to the enterprise, the amount
ranging from $25 to $500. The pun
pose is to make the subscriptions smal
and thus enlist the interest and busi
ness cooperation of q greater numbe
of citizens. A number of those VIII
subscribed stated that they woul
double and even quadruple their sui
scriptions i'm the future, If it was dc
sired. 1t was clearly set forth in th
meeting that it was the purpose G
the promoters of the new elevator
handle grain both in the sack an
bulk. leaving the preference entirel
at the option of the individual. On
of the features of the meeting ths
strongly impressed the observer wa
the unanimity of sentiment favorab
to the enterprise and the willingness
of all to get in on the movement II
business success of the warehouse con
pany made a most favorable impre
sion upon those present and was
strong factor in enlisting the heart
cooperation.

, up in this community that will be
more material benefit, and the Glol

; progress it is making.

JUDGE STEELE DECIDES
ELK CITY WATER CASE

the said dam, and that under such
facts the court believes it to be the
law that the plaintiff McKinnon, after
having given such consent, and after
the defendant had expended large
amounts of money in improving their
plant, depending upon the said dam,
all of such improvements having been
made with the knowledge of the plain
tiff, that the said plaintiff should not
now have the right to object to the
said defendant using the said dam, or
to have an injunction preventing the
defendant from using the said dam.
1t is shown also that the said dam,
after 1t was originally constructed,
was raised in height by the Black Pine
Mining company, and the said plain
tiff claims that by such raising in
height he has been damaged by the
overiowing of his land, and by the
washing out of bridge. The court
believes that a fair construction plac-
ed upon this evidence fails to show
that the plaintiff has been injured by
the raising of the said dam, and that
| the said bridge which was washed out
would have been washed out by the higf
waters, as ii was not OF substantial
construction, sufficient to resist the
| flow of the water in this rapid stream
and that instead of the raising of the
dam causing the bridge to wash out, II
would hinder the washing out of the
bridge, rather than aid in its destruc
| ton.
The courS believes that it shouC
also consider the fact in determining
whether an injunction should be grant
| ed, that the defendant, the Black Pin
Mining company, has expended be

BASE BALL PARK AND FAIR
GROUND.

The matter of securing permanent
grounds for a bali park and fair
grounds, to be owned by the city, was
up for discussion at the Commercial
club luncheon Wednesday, and the un-
animous decision was that action must
he taken at once. Grangeville has been
very shiftless and also unfortunate in
the past about its base ball parks, but
costly lesson has been learned which
ii is to be hoped will be of lasting ben
eft. Some $500 was expended in i'm
proving the last grounds before own
ership to the land was secured, and as
a result the city and its ball players
were finally kicked out, and they have
had no grounds to play on since, and
for the money expended have a pile
Of old lumber left on hand which is
rapidly being carried away. This time
grounds are TO be purchased and per
manent structures put up.

SCHOOL PLAY SUCCESS.

The program staged dt the high
school auditorium Wednesday after
noon by the pupils in the grades in
honor of Washington's birthday was
a great success. The pupils did their
parts splendidly which showed that
they had received very good instruc
ton from the teachers in charge OF
the affair. Some of the specialties
were portrayed in such a manner as
to represent scenes of the great presi-
dents life and other scenes at his
time. Probably the most interesting
was the reproduction Of how the first
flag was made this was played by the
second and third grade pupils.

Deputy Forester Silcox Says
South Fork Takes First
Place on List.
COOPERATION ASKED
Will Know When Work Will
Be Commenced When Bud
get Is Approved.

Il. A. Silcox, deputy chief forester,
with headquarters at Missoula, and II.
ii. Rutledge his assistant, arrived In
the city last Monday night ON their
allotment trip which they make annu-
ally to the various forests. They met
here with Forest Supervisor Ring and
Deputy Brown and went over the past
years work and mapped out the work
for the coming years and estimated
the required funds for the same. The
gentlemen left Wednesday morning for
Clearwater county via Kooskia.
In speaking of the various road prof.
ects of his department now under way
and soon to be started, Mr.. Silcox
without reservation placed the South
Fork road in the first rank. He stated
that the Fourth of July canyon road
would be completed this summer and
out of the way. That his department
at Missoula has presented a financial
budget to the secretary of agriculture
which gave the required needs of the
roads contemplated for this season.
He expected to he able to give us some
definite information as to the funds for
! the South Fork road and what the cit
izens of Idaho county and the state
would be expected to do In the way of
cooperation with the government ON
this road but when he wired to Wash
ington just before starting he had been
informed that the budget had not yet
been approved, therefore he was UNI
able to give out any definite figures
yet. However, he stated, that in his
opinion Ii was the duty of the govern
ment to construct all roads wholly
within the forests at it's own expense,
and to go $3.50 with citizens, county
or state, on outside projects; but that
the $3.50 rule was not intlexible, there
being some instances where the gov
ernment had to do better than that.
He spoke very encouragingly of the
early resumption of work on the South
Fork road, and was much pleased to
see the deep interests manifested In
the project by our citizens.
