CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

The cold blooded assassination Of
American soldiers at CentraliA, WASH,
on Tuesday is a challenge to every
American, and it will be accepted with
a vengeance. The issue is plain, and
where every loyal citizen deeply de-
plores the death of these men, it is
hoped that the sacrifice will result in
such an awakening of the people to
the fact that anarchy in its most vir-
ulent form at this moment endangers
the life of this nation that every ves-
tige of l. W. W..sm, Bolshevism and
every other organization that seeks
the destruction of this government

DRAINED LAND GOING
UNDER PLOW
Traction Plows Turning Over
Sod Where BullfrOgs Lived
for Years.

Very few Emmett people are cpgni-
zant of the transformation that is
taking place in the drainage district
below town. Where the bullfrog has
lived serenely happy for Is years in
the .marshlands in the Falk neighbor-
hood, and where the tulies grew in
luxurious abandon, there today trac-
tors and horses are pulling plows that
are turning over salt grass and bury
ing vast fields of alkali-
ready for the reclamation of unpro-
ductive land and its transformation
to fields of grain and grasses.
The work of excavating the main
drainage canal and laterals is pro-
crossing slowly but surely. The job
is big one, there being all told 430,-
600 yards of dirt to move. The dredg-
ing machine has reached point dir
ectly south of Callie Burt's ranch. The
contractors are bound to have the
work completed by June. They de-
clare they will be through by the first
of May. But they realize that to do
50 they must put on an additional
and this they have decided
TO do.
Wherever the drain bitches have
oeen cut, the land has been drained
and all marshes and ponds and pot
loles have disappeared. Even many
# the shallow wells have gone dry and
rave had to be dug deeper. In fact,
f it were not for this rainy spell that
and would be as dry as bone. In
ew years that section of the valley
will be series of productive farms
instead of ugly panorama of alkali
md tulies.

WATES USERS IN GOOD
MEETING
Superintendent Tells of Plans
for Ditch Improvement-Re-
funding Bonds Advocated

That was a good meeting the Water
Users Association of the Emmett lr-
rigation District held Saturday even
ing, and the information impaired in
the plain statements Of Superintend-
ent Maclean. Attorney Haga of the
bondholders' committee and J. M.
Thompson, attorney for the district,
and W. J. Abbs, member of the board
of directors Of the Water Users As
sociation, as to the plans for i'm
provement of the irrigation system,
the viewpoint Of the bondholders as to
the deferred interest payments, an
outline Of the financial condition and
proposal for refunding the bonds OF
the district so as to include the back
interest, and the optimistic outlook
of the lands in this irrigation district
all were deeply interesting to the
large audience of land owners present.
Superintendent Maclean was the
first speaker. His description of the
condition of the system from the dam
to the end of the canal on both sides
of the river, as gained by prelimin-
ary examination, and his plans to in
crease the carrying capacity of the
canal and strengthen the weak places
plainly showed that he understands
his business and very favorably inn
pressed the water users as to his abil-
ity.
Attorney Haga spoke from the
bondholders standpoint. He compli-
mented previous boards of directors
for their conduct of the legal fight
that had been made in behalf of the
district, and testified to their bulldog
tenacity.
J. NJ. Thompson advocated the pay
ment of the interest assessment that
the board had levied, declaring that by |
establishing the credit of the district |
30 doing it would go far towards
and place the district in position to
establishing the credit of the district |
refund the present bond issue and in
clude in the new bonds the back inter
est which the federal court recently
must be paid. He believed
this could be done.
w. ]. Abbs spoke in a most happy
and optimistic vein. He declared that
nowhere in Idaho was there more
productive body of land than the lands
in the Emmett Irrigation District,
and that nowhere was land so cheap.
He predicted rapid advance in value,
and to show his confidence by his acts,
he stated that he had recently added :
to his holdings of farm lands in the {
Emmett country.
R. B. Wilson spoke along the same t
lines as Abbs and declared his con- 1
fidence in the future of the district. i
Before adjourning, Supt. Maclean !
stated that the canal would be clean /
ed this. fall and that all ranchers
who desired to work would be given q
IN opportunity in this class Of labor. @

Recent Origin, William

More arguments in defence of Georre
j. Gould were offered yesterday be-
fore Justice Whitaker in the Supreme
Court IN the proceeding brought bv
Frank j. Gould to oust his brother as
trustee of their fathers estate. One
by one, William Wallace, jr., ATTORNEY
for George j. Gould, took up the
numerous allegations of mismanage
ment of the $80,0OO,OO estate and cx-
planned the propriety and necessity for
transactions which Frank j. Gould.
through his attorney, had characterized
as bad business judgment and fduciarv
misconduct.
Mr.. Wallace declared the proceed .
ing had its origin in the hostility
which Frank Gould has long felt tow
ard his brothers, George and Edwin.

estate. said Mr.. Wallace, would justify
the removal of George Gould, and no
such thing had been shown, he con-
tended
Mr.. Wallace said that not only we're
all the charges denied, but that George
Gould had done very we'll with the
affairs of the estate. He quoted from
Shakespeare in illustration of his
argument "The evil men do lives after
them; the good is often inferred with
their bones"
In contradiction of the assertion that
Frank Gould never occupied more than
clerical position in the Jay Could
estate, and did not know what was ro-
ing on, Mr. Wallace said that between
1900 and 1911 Frank signed 1.46O Of
the estates checks, representing IA per
