THIRTY HOUSES BEING
BUILT
To Be Used by Employees of
BOise-Payette CO.-Every
House Different.

Construction work on 30 residences
for employees of the mill was started
Monday morning by J. P. Dion, who
has been given the contract. The
buildings will be located in different
parts of the new Riverside addition,
north of town, and all will differ IN
architecture and size. The usual
plan of building "rows" of houses will
not be followed here, but each house
will have plenty of yard room, lawns.
parkings, shade trees and cement
walks. All the houses will be modern.
In short, the company has planned to
make this a model in point of pleas
ant, healthful surroundings and COM
Portable living conditions. Riverside
addition will be so pretty and well
kept that the rest of the town will
either have to get busy or else have
the finger of shame pointed at it.
Mr.. Dion expects to make record
in building these houses. He is put
ting in the foundations at the rate of
one day, and states that he will erect
house complete every day for the
next 30 days if the material arrives.
He has built warehouse and office
on the west end of the ground and has
a large force of men at work. He has
been promised a carload of lumber
day.
Four new bungalows are under
way just east of the bunkhouse. They
will be occupied by Mr.. Chase, Engin-
eer Oxley, the man and his wife who
will have charge of the bunkhouse and

CANALS NOT SUBJECT
TO ASSESSMENT
Proceedings Against Co-Opera-

Judge Charles P Mccarthy in an
opinion handed down in the district
court Tuesday in re drainage district
No. l of Canyon county (the Bran
well-Letha district, holds that irriga-
ton canals are not included in section
ga, statute Of 1915, providing for the
assessment of benefits upon lands
by the construction of the proposed
work He refuses to set aside the
section as unconstitutional, as con
tended for, and dismisses the proceed
ing against the Cooperative canal
and the Noble ditch, the two protest
ing canal companies
Judge Mccarthy heard the case at
the request of Judge Ed L. Bryan of
the Seventh Judicial district. To OBJ
viate the necessity of another hearing
upon the facts in the event the su-
preme court of the state, upon appeal,
reverses his decision, Judge Mccarthy
passed in the opinion upon the as
sessment OF benefits by the commits
sioners.
Following is a summary of the
opinion:
l. That seepage water from the
canals of the companies does not con-
tribute to the water-logged condition
of the land.
2. That the district should not be
forced to take in other land above it.
3. That the court should not set
aside section ga of the law of 1915 as
unconstitutional.
4. That irrigation canals are not
included in said section Ga, and that
therefore the present proceedings
should be dismissed as against the two
canal companies which are protesting.
5. That in order to get all the i'm
portant questions involved before the
supreme court and obviate the neces-
sity of another hearing in his court
upon the facts, he should pass upon
the assessment of benefits by the

benefit, if any, as disclosed by the
evidence, is a general benefit under
section Ga, and not special benefit.
That the assessment must be against
the right of way and not against the
canal companies personally. That it
is erroneous to levy an assessment I
against the right of way of the waste
ditch, since it does not contribute i'll

8. That the Cooperative Canal
contributes within the dis
trict 1882 acre feet of water per sea-
son instead of 1000 acre feet, and that
the Noble ditch contributes 1000 acre

WHAT EACH CAN DO

AS pointed out in the letter printed
elsewhere, the Department Of Agri-
culture is making every effort to in
struct the people at large in the use
of uncultivated areas, large or small,
for home or school or community gar
dening, as well as in the conserva-
ton of food and the elimination of
household waste. Those who have
raised the question as to what the
average citizen unavailable for mill

A Chance For Mr.. Stay at-Home to
Help the Cause.

You will notice in this issue of The
Index that the women of Emmett will
henceforth do their part in the work
the women all over the world have as
sumed. that of the Red Cross Society.
What especial duty have the men OF
Emmett, who for various reasons can
not assist in the actual defense of our
nation, take upon themselves? If
there seems to be no particular niche
of usefulness into which you, Mr..
:Stay-at- Home, seem to fit do not for
get that the Company Fund is in
YOUR direct line of assistance and is
depending solely on you for its sup
port.
The Company Fund, as perhaps you
know, is a loan association on small
scale among the boys of company.
The principal is held in trust by the
Officers of the company and when
boy has need of money above his
few SIS per month he feels free to
get loan from an association, where
as he would dislike very much to ask
his best pal for even two bits. This
loan fund proved such an accommoda-
ton to the boys when on the border
that we should take pride in being of
such assistance to them and in re-
plenishing the funds depleted resour-
ces.
A whirlwind campaign will be
started soon to present the Emmett
boys with their share of the Company
Fund before they leave the home state

At intervals along the Idaho North

like a railroad spike and are to be
driven into the wooden ties in the
