INJUNCTION FILED
AGAINST DISTRICT
Twin Falls Judge Sets Hearing For
October Sixth-16 More Days Delay
- Costello Alledges Damages and
Illegal Procedure.

Twin Falls, Idaho, Sept. 19.-An or
der of the district court here was today
interposed to prevent Twin Falls coun-
ty commissioners from calling an cleo
tion on the creation of the Snake river
irrigation district proposed in conec-
ton with financing the American Falls
reservoir project. The order, a tenn
porary Injunction, provided for hear
ing in court October g. at which the
commissioners will be required to
show cause why the injunction should
not be made permanent 1t was is
sued at the instance of Thomas Co.'S
tello, l.. L. Breckenridge, E. j. Malone,
holders of land under the Twin Falls
canal system, through their attorneys,
s. l.. Hodgin.
Plaintiffs allege that the petition for
the election which the commissioners
have been considering since August
2S is insufficient and does not comply
with state law because various areas
in Twin Falls, Jerome, Gooding, Bing-
ham, Bonneville and Madison counties
included in the proposed district are
noncontiguous. Sufficiency of the Pc
tition also is attacked on grounds that
the purpose of the proposed district
is not to purchase or operate estab-
lished irrigation systems, but only to
issue bonds to buy supplemental water
rights
Canal companies whose lands are in
cluded in the district have heretofore
contracted for these water rights, but
have defaulted payments. Plaintiffs
allege also that they own lands under
the Twin Falls canal system and that
the bonds of the proposed district
would be a prior lien on their lands
resulting in their great and irreparabic
4 injury They allege further that full.
Ifilment of the districts purpose ''wouli
result in wasting large quantities OF
/ public waters of the state by placing
the same on lands in Twin Falls coun.
ty that are already irrigated and which
have ample and sufficient water
right" ~
Plaintiffs posted $1,000 bond shortly
before summons were served on the
commissioners, they received a letter
from Guy Flenner, managing director
of the Idaho reclamation, asking foi
postponement of final action on the
petition for the reason that the asso.
citation had not completed its work in
connection with the subject, and stat
ing that e. B. Shepherd, president o.
Twin Falls North Side Land and Wat
er company, had just returned from
Chicago and Minneapolis, where h,
had received assurance of ready sal,
for the proposed districts bonds,
