B. R. VI. ACTION
BEGINS IN COURT
Federal Judge Hears Suit
for Foreclosure on
Company.
RANCHERS WITNESSES
Testimony Concerning Water
Supply Occupies First
Day Of Trial.

Trial of the foreclosure suit Of the
First Trust and Savings bank Of Chi
cago against the Bitter Root Valley Ir-
rigation company. the action out Of
which It is hoped that a definite plan
for the future of the reclamation pro-
ject will develop. began yesterday aft
ernoon before Judge George NJ. Bour-
quin In the United States district court.
The afternoon was spent in hearing
testimony from ranchers on the pro-
ject and other competent witnesses re-
Earding the nature and sufflciency of
the water supply provided by the
bankrupt Bitter Root Valley Irrigation
company.
IL. NJ. Sloan, former manager of the
project testified that the cempanys
policy had been to deliver water at the
highest point on each tract of land
and that during his administration no
attempt had been made to restrict
water users to the quantity of water
permitted by their contracts with the
company.
A. v. Williamson. formerly employed
by the company as an engineer, test-
fled that during the seasons of 1915
and 1916 there was trouble over the
water supply and said that he did not
think the irrigation system was able
to supply more than 10000 acres Of
land without more efficient regulation
Of distribution than prevailed during
the period OF his service. More than
5000 acres vas irrigated, he said, dur
Ing the seasons of 1916 and 1916.
A. G. Dixon, a rancher, said that In
his opinion the quantity of water per
mitted by the contracts with the COM
pany Is not sufficient.
Several interests are involved in the
present suit. and all of them hope to
agree upon some plan of reorganiza-
ton before the conclusion of the action,
or afterward.
Witnesses yesterday were examined
by Philip S. Brown for the First Trust
and Savings bank and w. L. Murphy
for A. c. Dixon, one of the important
creditors of the company. Other at
torneys in the action are II. G. Stiff
and Winston Payne Strawn and Shaw
and Walter II. Jacobs and T. |. Chris
topher for the bank; Gum, Rasch and
Hall and William Wayne, for A. c.
Dixon; d. G. Wcgg, George r. BagGs
and Il. r. Gaines for Hans and Caro-
line Knudsen; Galen and Mettler and
s. w. Swabey for j. w. Mckinnon;

Astigmatism.

Astigmatism means literally lack
ing point. I suppose one might
say a good many of these Health
Talks are astigmatic But the
word is generally used to signify
something crooked, and these
Health Talks are straight, if not al
ways pointed. Astigmatism is the
condition in which rays of light en-
tering the eye are not focused to a
point as they should be in the nor
NAL eye. The globe OF the eye or of
the cornea through which light en-
ters the eye, is not perfect, but
happens to be more curved in the
up and down meridian than in the
right and left meridian, for in
stances. If this irregularity of curry
allure is slight the eye doesn't mind
the trif1ing additional effort re-
quired to focus light to a point; in
fact, practically every eye shows
some. slight astigmatism if meas
ured accurately. But when the
astigmatic irregularity is great,
then the effort required to prevent
blurring of things seen becomes
correspondingly heavier, and the
individual is likely to have symp-
toms. This is called eye-strain.
A patient may have a floating kid
ney or a ptosed or sagging colon or
stomach or proIapse of other or
gans, yet be unaware of any trou-
BILE and suffer no disturbance of
health, so long as the general
muscle (and nerve) tone remains
good. But let that patient grow
weak from any cause, and then the

As Sheriff. was closing with the
