The canal pot is beginning to boil al
ready The next session of Congress is
distant more than nine months; yet In
terested parties are hard at work, play
ing for advantage. when the great ques-
ton shall be sprung next December.
Lord Pauncefote had a talk with Sec
rotary Hay on Wednesday, as it is under
stood, on the subject of reopening ne
gotiations for a treaty to take the place
of the rejected Hay-Pauncefote agree
ment. The Ministers of Nicaragua, Costa
Rica, and Colombia were also at the
State Department. The fight between the
Nicaragua and the Panama Canal projects
is fairly on. 1t is unnecessary again to
remind readers that the first is only
backed by considerations of patriotism
and public utility. The second is being
promoted by clique very close to the
Administration, and able and willing to
spend several million dollars to gain their
end.

A husband permitted the body of his
deceased wife to be buried in the Gene
terry lot of his sister-in-law. Subsequent
ly he had the remains taken up and re-
moved to another place of burial The
sister-in-law began an action of trespass
TO recover damages for the alleged tres
pass on her private lot in the cemetery,
and the removal of the body of her sis
ter. She received judgment in the lower
court, which was sustained on appeal by
the Supreme Court (Maine). The court
held, first, that it was the duty of the
husband to provide a suitable place for
the burial of the body of his deceased
wife. and that he had paramount right
to determine where the place of her
burial should be; second. that the hus-
band, having consented to the burial of
his wife in the lot Of his sister-in- law
had no right, without her permission IL,
enter on the lot and remove the body:
third, that a dead body, after burial be-
comes part OF the ground to which ii
has been committed. and an action of
trespass may be maintained by the own
err of the lot against one who disturbs
the grave and removes the body so long
at least, as the cemetery continues to be
used as place of burial. (PuIsifer VS.

that OF last year owing TO the late
frosts, Is nevertheless splendid one.
The fruit IL OF finer quality and al
together larger, The apple crop is
good, which fact pertains also 20 the
prune crop. The peaches this year are
perhaps better than they have ever
been In Idaho"
In conclusion Mr.. Donaldson said;
THE outlook for Idaho never was bet

growth, but under no circumstances
do we want a boom"
