LOCAL PATRIOTISM.

To he patriotic is no credit, but
not to be is disgrace This applies
to national affairs only and should
not by any means be allowed to cut
a figure in dealing with home condi-
tions. Such items and terms as
reciprocity and protection are all
right in discussing national matters,
but in no event should be degraded
to the humble duty of contact with
domestic concerns. Protection, that
impregnable bulwark of American
prosperity and industry, should only
be discussed in it's relation and effect
on national economy The truth of
the above Is evident from the fact
that the adoption of these two prin-
ciples in our domestic transactions
would, in time, lead to condition of
local prosperity that would establish
an era of local independence. Local
pride would be legitimate sequence.
AS Il people we have reason to be
thankful for our few temptations to-
wards this latter sin. In fact, we
ought in this particular to be immac.
ulate. But to go back to the ques-
ton of reciprocity, That is the
mutual interchange of commodities.
The theory, when applied to national
dealings, is very plausible and at
tractive, suggestive of good feeling
and advancement; but when applied
to domestic economy the fallacy is
evident. The farmer who needs a
few dollars worth of supplies and
can save & few cents on dollar ca

Notice is hereby given that on the 10th
day of July. 1895, the Valley Irrigation
Company, corporation. of the count y OF
Washington. state of Idaho, filed it's petit
ton praying for the appointment OF three
appraisers to ascertain the compensation
to be made TO persons over and across
whose lands the ditch or canal hereinafter
mentioned will pass, and who refuse to
allow the passage thereof over and across
their lands,
That the ditch or canal proposed to be
constructed by the petitioner, and Tor
which the appointment of appraisers IS
asked, is to head from the northerly bank
of the Weiser river, in section one, town
ship ten north, range five west, and flow
in a westerly direction to point on Warm

That it appears from the said petition
that some of the persons over whose lands
the line of the sa ditch or canal passes
refuse to allow the passage of the said
canal or ditch through and across their
said lands, and it is alleged by said petit
ton that it is therefore necessary and
proper that such appraisers be appointed
as is prayed for, to make a true and just
award of the amount Of the compensa-
tion to be paid for the right-of-way over,
and the use of the lands to be crossed by
said proposed ditch. canal or conduit, in
all cases where the owners of such lands
refuse to allow the passage thereof.

p m. on said day, at the county court
house in said county, and at the room Of
the county clerk therein, said petition will

JUDGE ROSES DECISION.

Because a district Judge down in
California has, urged by what reasons
or Influences we know not, decided
the Wright Law to be invalid, the
friends of irrigation are inclined to
take alarm, and those who believe
control of water should be held back
from the people and placed in the
hands of individuals think they have
a straw with which to pry over a
mountain A moments reflection
would show the one that their fears
are probably groundless, and the 9th
er that their hopes are delusive
Since Judge Rosss decision in the
Stanford case, nothing eminating from
him is likely to produce surprise.
In this case we have a district Judge
attempting to reverse the Supreme
Court above him. But the laws of
sovereign state are not to be so easily
wiped off the Statute by district
judge. 1t is noteworthy in connec-
ton withthe decision that the supreme
Court Of California has repeatedly
affirmed the constitutonality of the
Wright Law, and it's frequent deci-
sions are not likely to be overthrow
in single breath by an under court.
In his opinion the Judge holds that
as only the people living in the dis
trct are the direct beneficiaries the
the canals can not come uuder the
head of public necessities and an acute
measure to put put such propositions
through cannot hold-delinquent pro-
perty cannot be sold to maintain
them, hence neither can right of way
be forced through dissenting property
under the rule of condemnation for
public uses. If such thing were to
stand, the construction of all bitches,
public or private, would be stopped,
as private enterprises would come I'M
der the same rule of benefitting only
those who lived under them and could
not force a right Of way rs apublic
need. The decision must surely fall.
What are laws anyway but the record
of public opinion? and the courts
but the machinery that carries out
the public will? If the public opin-
ion is for irrigation works, the ma
chine will obey the controlling power
or there will sooner or later be a
smash up Government is nothing
above the people, but is and must be
merely the wishes of the majority
framed into law for the purpose of
having certain rules of action, and if
the machine does not work smoothly
and in concert with those wishes, the
defects will be remedied as soon as
possible; whether for the purpose of
collecting part of the tax from the
incomes of the rich and not all from
the toll of the poor, or for the pur-
pose of allowing the people to control
one of the vital elements The Ross
decision is naught This is true.
Future events will prove it.

INSTRUCT Us,

We claim to have the intention of
remaining in the Weiser valley as
long as any now here to be as deeply
interested in the future condition, So
cial advancementa and worldly prosper
ity Of this community as any and TO
have just as jealous a regard for
these interests. AS people, we
would see our fellowmen hew their
way from the lower places Of life to
the higher regions Of Terrestrial
Condition, to stand among the
heights of Human Era. There is
something in our nature that attracts
us towards any great principle which
points towards the mortal lustre Of
man becoming more clear and more
pronounced generally. AS we inves-
tigate the motley world to which we
have attained we find Truth and
Falsehood dwelling together undis-
turbed and unseparated. Much of
possible human elevation and attain
ment is shut off by the shadowy
giants Of Prejudice and Fear preju-
dice against stepping out of an exist
ing order and fear for our own powers
when deprived of inferior supports
upon which we have been accustomed
to lean. We would see these giants
struck down and would be glad to
aid their downfall Because we have
the above sentiments, we have ex-
pressed favor for irrigation methods
which we are convinced would be
one step in the ascension to higher
planes. On the face of it, it is one
Of the things underlying our happi-
ness and prosperity. We would
have the people investigate what we
claim is to their interest generally.
No proposition can commend itself
to the people that must stand on alb
stract or complex reasoning alone,
that will not stand the analysis of
simplicity. We would have them
study cold facts and turn their faces
towards brighter civilization.
That is why we have been persistent
in speaking Of better irrigation meth
DDS than have been common IN the
past We want not the i'll will of
any who oppose the public control of
water. We mean them no harm.
We are only following high and
fixed principle We would have the
opposite side explain its position.
Convince US, and we give in. You
are welcome to space in this paper (
you desire to substantate the position
you are challenged to defend. We
invite you to do it. Silence means
that your ground is untenable. We
are honest on our part and urge the
people to consider what has been
presented to them. Three things
come not back-the spoken word,
the sped arrow and the neglected
opportunity. Ii the present oppor-
tunity to secure control of our water
supply is neglected, it will never oc-
cur again to do it with anything like
the present ease.

All this excitement in regard To
the Indians at Teton Basin is need
less, or would be If proper measures
were taken by Governor Mcconnell.
Why don't he stop it? He could
send down Capwell (the immortal
hero who so bravely and quickly put
down the Cpur d Alene riots Of the
18th ult and pulverize the reds in a
flash, send them sneaking bnck to the
reservation like whipped ours. After
70 ably handling a desperate horde Of
brawny and bloodthirsty miners, a
few breech- clout Indians would be
mere bagatelle. The sight of his
cooked horse, gray hat and soldierly
blonde bangs would make them crawl
into Jackson's hole and pull the hole
in after them.

TO WE'D A TITLE.
A Chicago Lady Will Marry No
bleman Of England.


WASHINGTON, March 3. Society
here was treated to sensation to-
day by the announcement OF the en-
gagement of Miss Letter, the eldest
daughter OF l.. z. Letter OF Chicago,
who has an income OF cold million
yearly, and George Curzon, the
eldest son OF Lord Scarsdale OF Eng
lane.
Miss Letter has long been reign
ing belle at the capital, owing that
favor as much to her beauty and
grace OF manner as to the high posi-
ton which her fathers wealth en-
abled her to move in. This morning
she sent notes by special messenger
to the nearest friends OF the family
announcing the pleasant news and,
OF course, was soon surrounded by
friends, who came to share her new
happiness aud tender their congra-
tulations.
The latter were sincere enough
when it was learned that the fortu-
nate man was none other than a
brilliant member OF Parliament.
Not only that, but with fine old
title in prospect Miss Letter will
doubtless be quite as important a
member of society in Great Britain
as Il she were crowned by dozen
coronets at the start.
In addition to his political attain
ments Mr.. Curzon has been Under
Secretary in the Indian Foreign
Office, and has reached considerable
fame as a traveller and explorer. He
has written several books on Corea,
Japan and Persia, aud has Just re-
turned from an exploring trip of
several months in the heart OF
Africa. He is young man, about 35,
Miss Letter is a tall, slender bru.
nette, with large brown eyes, which
are concealed by long lashes, and
her every movement is grace itself
She is the most intimate of all Mrs
Cleveland's friends among the resi-.
dent people. She is member OF
the Shakespeare class here and is
devoted to study and travel.
Rumor had it at one time that
Miss Letter was to marry William
G. Whitney, but there was never
any truth in the story. The Letters
occupy here magnificent colonial
mansion, finished year since, and
there they dispense princely hospi
tally. Miss Letter has two younger
sisters, the older one just in society
and who does not share the beauty
of her sister. The third daughter
who is still school girl, will, in al
probability, be even more beautiful
than the brids-elect.
The wedding will doubtless be ,
gorgeous affair and will certainl,
take place in Washington, although
b no date has been set. II is generally
thought, however, it will be one O
the great affairs OF Easter week
which will enable the young coupl,
to have nice honeymoon befor,
the season begins in London. TIL,
family expects to 60 abroad for thu
summer as usual.
