JUDGE DIETRICH REVOKES
ORDER IN SALMON SET
TIERS CASE
Was Based on Reversed
Decision
Settlers May Appeal for Similar
Remedy Under the Ruling of
Circuit Court Or Ask for Other
Protection.

Refusing to dismiss the case of A.
y caldwell, ct al, against the Twin
Falls Salmon River Land & Water
company on the motion of The Com
monwealth Trust company of Pitts
burg, trustee, and A. G. Robinson.
Judge DIETRICH, of the United States
district court, has nevertheless dis
solved the interlocutOry decree inso-
far as it estopped the trust company
named, or Mr. Robinson from attempt
ing to collect or enforce payment on
water right contracts held by them
on Salmon tract lands. The defend
ant company did not ask that the de-
cree be dissolved as to any contracts
that it might hold.
The interlocutory decree was enter
ed in connection with the decision by
Judge Dietrich November 29, 1915
which held that the contracts should
be so construed as to entitle the set
tiers to two and three-quarters acre
feet of water per acre The circuit
court rejected this Interpretation but
held that another construction con-
sidered by Judge Dietrich but not
adopted by him was correct, to-wit:
that the settlers were entitled to .O1
cubic foot of water per acre per sec
ond during the irrigation season, to be
delivered in such quantities and at
such times as weather and crop CON
ditions might determine. A system
was to be adopted for the delivery OF
water by rotation AS the interlocu-
tory decree was based on theory re-
Jected by the circuit court its disso-
luton followed as a matter of course
when requested. This does not mean
that another similar decree might not
be issued protecting the rights of set
tiers as defined under the ruling OF
/ the circuit court In the meantime il
is reported that a number of suits tc
enforce contracts are contemplated
and the settlers will take the matter
Oh their course of action up at theil

Entente Nations
Endorse Message
Much Speculation Over Russian Sit
uatiOn-French Whip Germans and
Take Mile of Trench.
d. n. S. SUMMARY Jam. 81

VI ~. o. JAN
The predominating features in the
peace situation today were these
l. The cordial endorsement given
by the entente countries to the epoch
making war aims speech by President
Wilson.
2. Speculation over the trend
which the renewed Russo-German ne
gotiations at Brest Litovsk may take.
Widespread mutiny is reported from
the German army on the eastern front
and the opinion was expressed in Co
penhagen Ga capital that is in close
touch with Russo-German affairs)
that this might lead to a modification
of the German terms.
Japan has become so anxious over
the possibility of Russo-German
peace that preparations have been
made to take over the administration
of Vladivostok, if this step is deemed
necessary. The Japanese government
fears that the eighty thousand Ger
man prisoners of war in Siberia
might be employed for the invasion
of Manchuria, and China.
AS a result of the allied peace
drive" it is believed that Germany will
issue another note, setting forth her
terms in greater detail than at any
time yet. Zurich, Switzerland, reports
that Germany will propose the return
of her colonies, restoration of Bel
gium on the basis of constitutional
autonomy, self determination of the
people in the occupied district of
northern France to settle the ques-
tion of restoration, guarantees for the
political integrity of Turkey and dis
armament

His voice took on a new, almost
fanatic note. They had watched the
gradual decay of the country, he said.

each year. The masses Sweated and

weight of the aristocracy and the

ment. When at last the blows ceased.
she lay still.
The countess prodded her with her
foot. Get up" she commanded.
But she was startled when she saw
the girls face. 1t was she who was
the fool. The welt would tell its own
story, and the other servants would
talk. 1t was already a deep purple,

trembling. The countess, still holding
the crop, sat down.

The speaker for the committee

replied. although there are those of
US who think that in this matter of
expediency, Karl gives more than he

The matter lies thus, madame. The
