Example of the Incompetence of Brit

A somewhat curious waste of public
money has just been brought to light
by the report of the British Committee
Of Public Accounts. Recently the war
department built store for the am
munition of the navy at Gibraltar,
costing $4,000, to be charged to navy
votes. The store was found too damp
to keep ammunition in; so it was
converted into cold meat storehouse
for both army and navy. This was
done at the expense of E47,000 in
GLIDING the cost of freezing machin-
cry, etc, making a total expense of
sS9,000. of which the army pays only
G23,e00. although each department re-
ceives the same accommodation as the
other.

WILL START A SUIT
Ranchers on Big Wood River Want
their Rights to the Wat
er Determined.

For some time past an effort has
been made by the ranchers on Big
Wood river to get together and have
the water of that stream decreed
Those most interested in the matter
are the ranchers from the Cotton
woods down stream who settled on
the river at an early date. Since
much of the land along the river
and its tributaries has been taken
up, the ranchers below the Cotton
woods find that each year they are
getting less and less water for their
land. 1t was with an idea of get
ting their rights to the water set
tied by decree of court that the
effort of the ranchers to get togeth-
er was made,
The matter has at last been ar
ranged, and suit to have the wat
err rights of the ranchers on the big
Wood river adjudicated will be
commenced in the Lincoln county
district court within the next thirty
days. E. A. Walter of this place
and Hawley & Pickett of Boise
have been retained by the plain
tiffs, fee of $500 having al
ready been paid the gentlemen
The names of the parties who will
appear as plaintiffs in the case, as
far as The Journal has been able to
obtain them are:
S. c. Frost, Mullens Reservoir
company, Fred Bliss, Chas Jones,
Mrs. C. Slater, Mrs N. Worden,
Fritz Vandergraft, J. Stevenson,
w. Gooding, K. w Bastrom, A.
Kaiser, William Sims, Arthur Sill
va, NJ. Savage, J. Darrah, Roessler
brothers, L. Walker and NJ. Silva.
1t is probable that Sc eral more
ranchers will bee m plaintiffs in
the suit before the papers are filed.
The defendants will probably num-
Der about $50 persons. All per-
sons on the Big Wood river and its
TT butaries are to BE- made parties

The court finds that such combina-
ton in restraint of trade has been

Danger Lies in Power, Not in Act
Ii is immaterfaI whether by reason of
this combination and the possession Of
monopoly power rates have been fixed
which are unreasonable; the vice OF
such a contract or combination being
that it confers power 20 establish unrea-
sonable rates, and directly Restraints
commerce by placing obstacles in the
way Of free and unrestricted competi-
ton between carriers who are natural
rivals
"The-contention Of the Government, as
presented in the argument of Assistant
Attorney General James NJ Beck. is sus-
tanned by the decision of the court in
its chief and substantial positions Mr..
Beck pointed out that the plain intent
Of the transaction was 10 accomplish a
merger. in violation OF the law and con-
tTaTy to public policy, and that the
stockholders could not veil an unlawful
act behind New Jersey charter.
Object of Merger is Unlawful.
The court holds that in placing the
control of these two great railroad sys-
TENS, natural competitors and rivals. in
the hands of a single person, to-wit, the
Securities Company. the stockholders
destroyed every motive for competition
between the two roads, and IL must be
concluded that The accomplishment of
this object was intended. With great
courtesy toward the sovereign State of
New Jersey. the court assumes that il
did not intend 10 grant a charter under
cover Of which an object denounced by
Congress as unlawful might be achieved.
How Far Does Opinion Reach?
THE decree in favor of the Govern
ment accordingly orders the transfer
and return to it's original owners of the
stock of the two companies now held
by the Securities Company, in exchange
for which its own stock was issued.
The decision will necessarily cause
much anxiety IN corporation circles. How
far will the courts go in fOrbidding the
purchase and ownership OF the shares of
other corporations? What other rail

for in other quarters.

curing majority Of The stock of ihe
two competing roads had destroyed all

From the point OF view OF public
policy it would seem that there could
be no difference between natural PEI
son and corporation in this respect.
Manifesty, such an application of the
law fOTbidding acts in restraint of trade
would restrain the right 10 buy and oWn
property.
The court appears clearly 10 make
that construction of the law This is
necessarily an Interference with the
right TO do business, and 1t may appear
10 the general public TO be a somewhat
novel principle. The underlying pTiaci-
pie is, of course, that private right
must not be SO exercised as TO do pup
lie harm. That principle is old enough.
1T will not escape the attention of the
obseryant. however, that by decisions
like this IN the Northern Securities case
the courts may actually do great pub
lie harm. A combination formed in
good faith not to restrain trade but to
promote it, great corporation which
was a source OF public benefit would
not for those reasons escape the enj0in-
ing decree and prohibition
In the Northern Securities case the
court fixes its eye on the assumed in
tent, and declares that the act forbid

PATTI AGAIN WITH Us
Most Famous Singer in the World
 Now in This Country.
Something of the Prima Dopna's sixty-one Years of Life-started
 Out as am Infant ProdiGy-The

Sixty-One Years of Life-Started
 Out as am Infant ProdiGy-The
 Daughter of Singers.
 Patti is back in America, and we are glad to say she has brought with her her old songs. The Last Rose of Summer and Home, Sweet Home" At Patti night without these would be very lack ing in sentiment.
 The songstress, though 61 years or age, shows astonishingly little of the usual marks of long acquaintance with Father Tine-she looks not day over S5. Her face is smooth and fair, her ex- pression mirthfully joyous, her dark eyes sparkling, her whole being sug- gestive of undiminished vitality. And this after long public career, 1t being now 50 years and more that her voice has been the wonder of the world.
 Adelina Patti's father and mother both were celebrated singers, and the night she was born the mother sang in the opera of Norma, the parents starring at the time in an opreatic engagement In the city of Madrid. Soon after the birth of this daughter, the family removed to Italy, remaining there three years, and then they set sail for America. Money was needed, and little seYen-year-old Adelina was put on. the stage, an infant prodigy; and before the age of 12 giving concerts in all the principal cities of the United States. She sang difficult opera airs, and her voice might have been ruined had not friend stepped in and demanded two years of rest for the child. At 16 she reappeared more than ever of marvel.
 Patti possesses an unusual memory, and this has been of great aid in the diff. icult task of singing all the principal Italian operas in four or five different languages. She has taken the heroine's part in at least 30 different operas and, in all her years of work, in all the diff ferent places she has appeared, has failed but once or twice. The music loving Russians fairly worship her, St. Petersburg probably has witnessed her greatest triumphs. In that city at a Patti concert gallery seats have been known to sell at 10 robles each ($7.7o) ] and stalls at 100 robles. At one per 1 formance, some enthusiastic Russian gentlemen showered upon the prima 1 donna flowers to the value of 6,0oo \ robles:
 All the fairies must have watched over the cradle of Patti for she was lowered not only with glorious voice, but also with glorious beauty. With these two l gifts she has conaured the world, has won people of many nations and tongues And that she is a born linguist has aided considerably in gaining her wide fame. Louis Engel, writing of her triumphs in various lands, says the Spaniards call her Spanish because she
