WATER MASTER
EXPLAINS WHY
CARE IS TAKEN
A. v. Tallnan Assures
Users That No Dis
crepencies Are En-
ployed in Distributing
Water Supply.

Answering criticisms which have
been made relative to the distribution
Of water under the Payette-Boise pro-
ject, Water Master, A v. Tallman
made the following statement Friday.
"The last few days many rumors
have come to my attention that GER
tain canals in the valley have an over
abundance of water for irrigation pur-
poses while other canals were very
short and although the farmers I'M
der the latter canal were at the pres
ent time getting sufficient water, they
weer sure that the next week they
would have no water with which to ir-
rigate.
ITO get at the bottom of this mis-
information quickly l wish to state
that Of the l35 decreed rights in the
Boise river decree, two of them have
been cut out entirely and the balance
of the rights on tn upper end of the
river have all been cut 40 per cent and
are now only receiving 90 per cent OF
their decreed rights. The rights on
the lower end of the river up until
tn present time have been receiving
, 10 Oper cent of their recree due to the
fact that they are supplied entirely by
return overflow from many drains
that empty into the river in the vi
cinity of Caldwell.
ITO further explain this situation
there are 1887 second feet of rights
being filled by the natural overflow
of the Boise river on this day, which
is approximately 1850 second feet, the
balance of the water coming from re
turn overflow.
Another factor that should be tax
en- into consideration is the storage

decreed rights and who are now draw

until they have exhausted their stor
age rights.
During the past few weeks the TN

FINE WEATHER
IN EAST BASIS
FOR BIG S[UMP
Drop in Potato Prices
Due to Congestion of
Market, Nampa Com
mission Man Asserts.
Especially

Nampa - Extraordinary favorable
growing conditions which prevailed
this summer in every potato produc-
ing state of the United States where
early potatoes are raised, accounts
for the sudden slump in the potato
prices, according to J. c. Sewell,
president of the Sewell Commission
company. Potatoes were quoted on
the Chicago market Monday morning
three cents per pound, a price which,
when freight rates are considered,
makes the Idaho quotation less than
two cents per pound. Mr.. Sewell
was Informed Monday morning of
this drop in potato prices on eastern
markets.
The slump is caused by flooding
the market with eastern grown pota-
toes, according to Mr.. Sewell, which
this year. because of the unusually
favorable growing season have been
placed .on the market sufficiently
early to complete with the south
western Idaho crop. Tubers from
the potato raising districts of Mime
sofa, Mainefi New York, New Jersey,
kentucky, Virginia and California
have entered the field in direct COM
petition with the Idaho product.
Markets have been flooded, accord
ing to Mr.. Sewell and the inevitable
slump followed.
Expects Better Prices.
Mr.. Sewcll holds the belief, how
ever, that the peak is here today and
the pricies can reasonably be expect
ed to recover somewhat during the
next 10 days. Refrigerators have
been evidently dispatched from south
western Idaho to sections of Oregon
and Washington. Last week, 100 cars
were sent to Nampa in a single da,
for icing, Monday not single cal
arrived here.
This situation is explained as re
suit of the reluctance of potato grow
ers to harvest their crops under pres
ent conditions. Few cars, if any
would be used if they were available
Mr.. Sewell is emphatic in ASSERTING
that if the potato growers OF thi
section are to prepare for holding
potatoes in just such emergencies a
this, they must make preparation
to store their crop when it is ma
tured. Farmers are losing none,
because of the peculiar conditio
which has arisen this season due t
the fact that they were not prepare
to meet it.

Big Schedule Ahead
for Baseball Team
Many Matinees Arranged For During
Remainder of Season With Some
Good Battles Assured

Next Sunday the baseball team will
play return game with Nampa. 1t
is understood that the Namp manage
ment, somewhat Disguised with the
showing made here Sunday. is bending
every effort to collect enough stars to
send Caldwell back to the woods.
Next week. the local aggregation
will go to Haley for three game
series. Boise has sore spot or two
to work off and is throwing challenges
around rather promisciously with
whisperings of outside talent and big
money. Payette wants return game
after having safely copied the ldaho-
Oregon league championship. Teams
from the Twin Falls district are also
looking for dates. 1t is expected that
baseball matinees will come thick and
fast for the remainder of the season.
