TO GET CREDIT
J. H. Lowell, présidant of the Pay
ette-Boise Water (Jeers' association,
returned from Boise Saturday. On
being seen today be atated that he had
been In oonferenoe with D. W. Rosa
In regard to the work to be done by
water osera in the bailriiug of the
Tarions laterals. It ia underatood
that the secretary of the interior has
approved the reoouimeudationa inade
by the reclamation engineera to the
effeet that water aaera who may work
upon the lateral syatem will be given
credit upon theii water right.
Aa a preliminary to any organisa
tlon neoeaaary to have the territory
B mapped oat into dlatriota ao that each
™ water user may know from what lat
eral his land will be watered. Lo
cal organisations can then be formed
and work prosecuted by any who may
déaire to do ao. Mr. Lowell states
that this work Is being taken up act
irely bp Mr. Ross and hia aaaiatanta
and it ia expected will be completed
ia the near futur*. Mr. Davis haa
charge of this work and haa been en -
gaged for sometime in making ont the
nwMsry plats and aa soon as com
pleted they will be made public so
that «ach water usar may know io
just what district bis land lies. Mr.
Lowell ia today calling a meeting of
the directors of the water usera' as
sociation to be held in this city on
November 9. Mr. Ross will be pres
ent at that meeting and it is expected
that at that time plans of organ iaz
tlon will be weil along so that they
may be discussed intelligently by
the beard.
A boat 45 of the Deer Plat promot
era association met Saturday evening
to discuss matters relating to the
latter of D W. Roaa in regard to the
building of the laterals for the dis
^ tributlon of water under the govern
ment project. The members oast a
unanimous vota to take up the work
of building the lateral provided the
«redit for the labor be given upon the
water rights. The association agreed
however, that as the work of building
the laterals would mean a heavy ex
panse and that as in using teauis and
time on this work the necessary liv
ing expenses must be met, it was de
oidad to ask that tweoty live per cent
of the work be paid in cash from the
fund whioh it was statei would be
available in 1909. A committee
eonsisting of Messrs. Nelson, Voigt
and Madison was appointed to confer
with 3. H. Lowell, secretary of the
Payette Boise Water Users' associa
tion, and present that matter to him
as voted by the association.
NO PANICS TO ORDER.
Iba following excerpt is from a
Pittsburg, Pa., paper: That waa a
stinging rebuke adminiatered to Wall
street calamity howler by a gentleman
from Georgia at the American Bank
ers' association convention In Atlan
j ' tic Oity on Wednesday. It was
WilliamB. Witbam, bead of 104
banking institutions in the south,
who was talking "Oentlemen," said
he, "you can't hare a panic, no mat
tar how much you want it. Ynu oau
never have a panio when ootton ia
klug, and the crop of this season,
breaking all records, will furulsh
A met loa enough cold oash from
abroad to quench a dosen panics."
Mr. Witbam weut on at some
leogth to portray pbysloai conditions
aa fte had obeerved them and to oon
trait them with the "whisperings of
suspected anarchy" that he had beard
aa aoon aa he croaeed Mason and
Dixon's Una. It is regretted that
more bankers and business men do
not talk in the same strain, do not
examine the situation more carefully
and tall the world the reeullts of their
investigations. One report of the
f' apenlng of this Atlaotlo Oity con
vantioo, whioh haa bi ought together
6,000 distlnotly representative del
agataa, says :
Predictions that the United States
Is at the turning point of its marvel
ous prosperity ware shown to be not
only poorly timed, but abaolutely
falsa, and prominent speakers called
tor a resume of the preeeut indostri
ai situation to piove to the world
that America's wealth and greatenss
are only beginning to dewn. Never
haa the basins« outlook through 'be
nation been more promising; never
bas credit been better abroad, aad
bankers ware told that the feeling of
unrest that pervadea Bnaaclal circle«
oan be traced dlreotly to the manip
#olatlooa of glgantio speculator».
This quotation ia not from a re
publican paper, bat from a democrat
to contemporary In another oity and
a vigorous exponent of free trade —
a fact which renders further oomment
unuecesaary.
TO LEAVE FOR NEW ZELAND.
Harry J.Syma of tbe Hrm of Syrns
York, wilt leave Saturday night on

Hegihters aud Receivers,
U. S. Land Utiles,
Sirs: You are direted to at once
inform all newspapers in your reap
etive districts, as a matter of news,
that in all oases where homestead
entries are made alter November 1,
1907t- ummutation proofs must show
actual aud continuous bona fide res
idence for the full period of fourteen
months.
In all cases where the eatries were
made before November 1, 1907, the
rule heretofore existing that aix
months constructive residence *ol
lowing the date of the entry will be
considered as a part of tbe required
fourteen months residence, will
remain in force.
You are directed to give this mat
ter immrdiate attention and as wide
pubiicitj as possible and to post a
copy of this letter in a oouapiouous
place in your otHoe.
Very respectfully,
R. A. BALLINGER,
Commisisoner.
At a meeting of tbe state land
board held on Saturday a new rule
waa adopted affecting settlement of
Carey act lands.
The rule states that when water ia
available at the time of tbe filing tbe
prospective settler may have six
months time in wbioh to establish a
residene.
It was also held by the board that
tracts not contiguous may be filed on
at one time, but tbe tracts can not
be located in the same segregation.
Tbe reason for this is that if tbe two
w°re in tbe same segregation water
would naturally be supplied ou both
tracts simultaneously and tbe re
quired residenoe on both oould not
be maintained.
The board granted right of way
acroaa state lands in north Idaho, to
the Idaho & Washington Northern
railroad. The number of acres re
quired was 39.3, for whioh tbe road
will pay 910 per acre. Right of way
across a school seotion in township
46 north rauge 1 weat, was granted to
tbe Milwaukee'^ St. Paul load at tbe
rate of 915 per acre.
A sale of atate lauda In Lincoln
oouuty waa agreed upon to take plao»
on December 1C. Tbe lauda to be
sold are about equally divided be
tweeu the Minidoka, north side, Twin
Falls and the Idaho Irrigation 00m
pany tracts.—Statesman.

SHOULD TAKE A TUMBLE.
The uuaocommodatlng and miser
able train servioe tbe Idaho Northern
is giving Emmett Is bearing fruit,
and unless the management of that
road takes a tumble aud runs tbe
traîna to accommodate its patrous In
stead of to satisfy its petty spites,
it will lose all of ita paaaenger busi
ness. The stage line to Star is doing
a rushiug business. Every day from
six to a dozen people are carried.
Yesterday it was run in tour sec
tions, carrying 27 passengers. Close
connections sre made at Star going
and returning. Tbe trade ia not oon
fined to those going to Boise. Many
bound for main line pointa go to
Caldwell to avoid laying over in
Nampa from three to seven hours.
The poiioy the Idaho Northern has
pursued for years for arranging ita
schedule to compel travelers to lay
over In Nampa won't work any longer
and tbe sooner it tumbles to this
faot, tbe bettor it will be tor Its own
welfare.— Emmett Index.
