their honest opinions in open meeting,

would have felt a great feeling of hope
could all of them have attended ' the

There was none of the old methods
and few of the facet familiar in the

desire for public office. They were

A eompleta state central committee
waa selected and also an executive
committee. Tha new party selected the
majority of ita executive committee
from the body of the convention and
the citlxerist large. There was an in
sistence that all the committees should
be elected from the body of the Con
vention Instead of being appointed. This
sentiment was almost unanimous and
so those who at first suggested the ap
pointment of committees, - laughingly
withdrew their suggestions and sub
mitted to the general will.
There was much earnestness In all
the debates, but no wrangling and the
spirit of those whose Ideas were not
aceepted as best for the party was to
sunmit to tne rui or tne majority, af

First Section of the Great
Boise-Payette " Project
Nearly Complete,
Special Dispatch to Tht Journal.)
Caldwell, Ida., May 16. The great
federal .reclamation , project on the
soul h side of the Boise rrver, that Is at
tracting great numbers of people to this
part of the country is now nearly com
pleted. Farmers who have for years
held the dry land homesteads and tried
to eks out an existence have begun
the great system of lateral construc
tion that will water the vast tract
on which . they hav founded, their
homes. They are working under con
tract with the government and hav
the privilege of working out" the water
right to their farms to the aggregate
extent of f 180,000. This they mean to
do as fast as they can dq the work.
The great Deer Flat valley, which
contains about 800,000 acres. Is one of
the finest tracts In the northwest and
when watered will furnish fin homes
for the many ambitious homeseekers
who are coming to this place; The level,
sandy land holds out great Inducements
to the newcomer, although almost all
the land is already entered. The land
that has already been entered can be
had in small tracts of from 40 to 80
acres as homestead . relinquishments
from those who hav entered 160 acres
and have been compelled to relinquish
the other half since the "farm unit" has
been established at 80 acres.
Steserroi 89 fur IOIm.
This valley Is particularly adapted to
the raising of fruit The families who
have settled there are of the best class
of agricultural people and are doing
their work en the farms much the same
as if thev already had water. Good
houses are In many Instances built The
land la tilled and -sometimes creditable
crops are raised by dry farming.
- The gigantic reservoir that Is to store
water for . this great tract la finished
and when full will have a water-surface
of about 88 square miles. - In the
deepest place the water will stand about
68 feet deep and It Is thought it will
hold much more water than will ever
be necessary for the. Irrigating of the
land below It, although the canal cours
ing down the -center of the valley has
a bottom of 40 feet for the . first 12
miles and Is SO miles long. Above and
on each side of this are numerous lat
erals. Which will be fed from .this one
reservoir. - The Inlet canal from the
Boise river, which will bring water to
the reservoir In the season when the
snows are melting, Is about If miles
long and has a 7o-foot bottom. This
ditch will' carry 10 feet of water and
it Is thought to be of sufficient capacity

of the state, "passing through swell-,
settled country , are unfenced. In our
opinion the omission to fence tracks
Is in many cases a menace to the safety
of the publlo as well as causing great
damage to stock. "Wall the damage to
rtockrs compensated In money damages
this does not eliminate the objection, on
the ground of endangering safety. Be
sides, the damages are charged to op
erating expenses and thus all patrons
of the roads must pay the damages
caused by the company's failure to fence
their tracks."
The act of 1907 makes It the duty
of the commission to inspect the rail-
roads with reference to
tni
heir physical
condition and to the safet
r tha pub-
lie The same act provides that uoon
complaint or In case th nmmiainn
shall believe that any service In con
nection with the transportation of per
sons or property Is Inadequate the Com-
mission may investigate and make an
order directing adequate service, equip
ment and facilities.
In his opinion Attorney-General .
Crawford holds as follows:
"The railroad commission act of 1807 .
does not Include the matter of fencing
railroad tracks, nor authorise the com
mission to order such tracks to be ,
fenced, nor 'do I find any general law
which seems to require the fencing of
tracks, excepting in particular cases.",
