Afraid IL was Loaded.

After much consideration, talk, and
! mental parturi,ion. the county board at
last brought forth a rejection of the
petitions for the formation OF irrigation
districts as presented by Dana and
Noble. There was considerable opposi-
ton on the part of farmers living on the
creek-notably, Alex Nc Balm, DIR. How
ard and Squire Stewart. 1t was evidert
from the first that the board was inclined
to reject the petition, and hesitated only
because there seemed no plausible reason
for so doing, the law being very explicit.
The commissioners took the position that,
if the petitions We're granted, it would
result in these men securing a prior right
to the surplus water Of the creek. 1t was
urged by the petitioners. that they had
complied with every requirement of the
law and that the beard had no option in
the matter. They also claimed that un-
der the law no rights to water were
granted. The board, however, decided
upon rejection, evidently fearing the
affair was ''loaded." We have neither
comment nor criticism to make upon the
action, save the alleged grounds, which
seem to us childish, and SO wanting in
dehniteness as to be utterly %disregarded
by a court. Had the commissioners
stated their reasons for their action, Their
would be much more ground to hope that
the court would confirm it.

Sue 'eln for Damage.

For two or three weeks past, the tele-
graphic communication between here and
the outside world has been very uncertain
and unsatisfactory. Much delay and in
convenience has been occasioned the
business men, and in some cases consider
able loss, by the length of time taken to
send and receive messages. There have
been days in succession when a message
could neither be sent nor received. Now,
there must be a fault somewhere and in
some person., but who or where it is, we
do not care. 1t is sufficient to know that
the Western Union Company is liable and
that corporation should be notified at
once.

What is it?

A few weeks ago a gentleman named
Baril. died and was buried. Mr.. Baril
was for many years a resident of this
county and we'll known to all our readers
except a few who live in the extreme west
of the county. Now, so far, there is
nothing peculiar about this, as it is the
common lot of humanity to die. hut now
comes the story told by a number who
knew the old gentleman. to the effect that
they have seen and talked with him since
his burial. This is related in all SINGER
ity by men whose word has always been
accounted good. and has aused no little
talk among the superstit usly inclined.

This is a Joke.

A certain man was exceeding anxious a
few weeks since, to advertise a petition
for an irrigation district for himself, in
order to present it at the meeting of
county commissioners just past. He
found, however. that he had not taken
the steps soon enough. so let the matter
drop. Query: Would he have been so
earnest in asking the commissioners to
refuse his W petition. as he is in fight
ing those already in?

planning ought to be done as to what we
will do in the days that are before us, and
how we shall accomplish our purposes,
whether thay be entering upon a profess
ion, engaging in a new or prosecuting an
old business. building a house, running
for office of taking a wedding journey.
In the course of what we may do in pur-
suit of any of these, 1t is probable that we

evening service was to be held, and re-
peatlng this round week after week,
month after month"; during the year
until conference came, when the an
polntments were changed and the
preachers went to new f 1lds Twenty
or thirty sermons every four weeks
were the usual work, together with 200
Or 800 miles of the hardest kind of trav-
Ell. OF roads there were few, the trav-
eler being compelled to rely on bride
paths through the forest, and often on
mere tracks aided by ''blazes'' on the
trees, or pieces Of bark chopped out,
leaving a white place underneath,
which could be seen at a considerable
distance and materially aided the pro-
gress of the wayfarer. When dark
ness overlook the preacher on his jour
ney, and he could no longer discern the
''blazes" on the tres, he trusted to the
instinct Of his horse, and when this fail
ed, as it sometimes, though rarely, did,
he was compelled to pass the night in
the woods If he had flint and steel he
made fire; if not he sat down at the
root of a tree and held his horse until
morning. In rainy weather he was
often compelled to swim the swollen
streams that lay in his route, or make
long detours in search of place where
the stream could be forded. Yet all
these hardships and more, including
sleeping in lofts where the snow drift
ed in, in rooms where four beds were
placed and the family all slept in the
only room the cabin afforded, and the
annoyance of having absolutely no pri-
vacy but that of the forest during his
journey from one appointment to an
