PIONEER IRRloArloM DISTRICT

The test case on the Pioneer r.
'rigation District was heard in
chambers at Boise last Monday be-
fore Judge Stewart, and was decid-
ed against the district. The main
reason given was that the district
was trifle short on land, the law
requiring, that .one-fourth of the
land within the boundaries OF the
district nlustsbe asssessable. 1t is
unfortunate that the provisions OF
the law were not carefully complied
with, but it is better that it was
made known at this time than later
The case, we understand, will moi
be appealed but an attempt will be
made to reorganize the district in
compliance with law. III aa-talgss
With respect to the matter ofthe
!. outstanding warrants, and whether
they will be paid, THE TRIBUNE al
this writing can not say, but we
suspect that if the district be reor'
ganized the holders of the warrant:
will not suffer, as in justice they
should not. ff4 III ~ sst-&

and that "what God has Joined to-
gether, let no man put asunder."
This passage, he said, had direct
relation to enforcement, and was in
favor of the order of marriage in
stituted by God, not by man; that
it was not instituted for man to en-
ter into and enter out Of just as it
suited his convenience, but was a
matter of vital consequence. % - :
President Smith sought to inn
press upon the teachers present the
importance Of their teaching chill
dren the sanctity of the marriage
tie and the necessity of their OBJ
serving the law of chastity. He
said that God had a fixed penalty
for those who disobeyed the law OF
chastity, and the men would suffer
for it as well as the women; that 1t
was as important for men to be
pure and virtuous as for women,
and that women would never be
other than pure and spotless before
God if the men were so; that it is
the man who violates the laws oi
God, mot the women. ~g -.
Taking up the question of home
making, the speaker deplored the
fact that young men and young
women nowadays think they mus
build mansion before they wed
that they must have all kinds o.
modern furniture and modern i'm
lprovements. He thought it thu
height of folly for a young man de
pendent on his intellect and skill
and labor for a living to imagine
that he must ape a millionaire in al
his surroundings before he was pre-
pared to be married. The good oil
way, he thought, was the bette
way, the only way; to find on
whether the young man and tn
young woman were suited to eacl
other, then 60 and get married an

a writer in the North American Re
view calls attention to the evils OF
excessive legislation. 1t appears that
at their last annual sessions, the legis-
!atures of our forty-fve states enacted
more than fourteen thousand laws
good. bad and Indifferent. Such in
dustry might be said 10 speak volumes
for the public spirit of the American
people if we could wink out of sight
the facts that many of the acts"
spring from an unwholesome desire TO
accomplish social reforms by short
processes. and that many more of
them represent individual or corporate
contrivances to utilize the power Of
the state for the turning of private
grindstones.

Some curious spiral fossils, recently
discovered in rocks of the Permian pc
Tiod in Russia, appear to represent n
kind Of sawlike appendage. armed with
enamelled teeth, and capable of being
rolled UP in the manner OF a spiral
spring. which once belonged to a spe-
cies of FISH related to the rays and dog
fish OF today. A French geologist,
Monsieur Priem. suggests that the fish
carried this singular weapon as an ex-
tension of its upper jaw. Except in
its capability of being rolled up, such
an appendage seems to be no more
wonderful than that of the sawfish or
the swordfish.
