TWO MILE LIMIT Law ENAscU.
LATED

The State Supreme Court in a
unanimous decision on the Two
Limit law, has carefully removed
the "stinger" from that celebrated
statute and thereby completely dis
abled it. It was in a case of w. M.
and W. G. Phipps against Nelson
Grover and arose in Washington
county.
In the decision by Judge Ailshie,
the court says:
The Important question presented for
our consideration is; Does the statute I'M
dertake to prohibit the driving of sheep
through the State or from one point to an
other therein2 at certainly does not. The
legislature in making it unlawful to "herd"
sheep or permit them to "graze" within
two miles of the dwelling house of the set
tier, never meant to include in those terms
the mere driving of sheep through the
country, or from one feeding or grazing
place to another, If they had meant such
thing, their act would have been futile
and in violation of both the State and Fed
eral Constitutions, as we'll as the acts of
Congress. We must construe this enact
ment in the light of the objects the legisla
ture had in view. We assume that those
objects were lawful, and therefore conclude
that driving stock from one range to an
other is not 'herding' them, nor is the &C.
casional eating of grass, as they go or
while stopping for needed rest grazing 1"
| as contemplated by the lawmakers when
enacting the foregoing statute. This, like
any other fact in the case, is question for
the jury and where there is substantial
conflict in the evidence. 1t is undisputed
that defendant was moving his sheep
across the country to the range and be-
yond the two-mile limit of plaintiffs dwell
ing. 1t is true that several witnesses testi.
fled that the sheep were grazing" and
were being "herded, ;" but these were mere
conclusions and when they testified to the
facts from which these conclusions were
drawn, it was apparent that such conclu-
sions were not justified under the statute,
The Judgment is reversed and cause re-
manded. Costs awarded to appellant.
Comment is scarcely necessary.
If sheepmen may move their bands
from place, and from range to
range, without let or hindrance or
limitation, letting them rest along
the route when they are weary and

Craze where they list when they
are hungry, why sheepmen will be
tolerably we'll satisfied. Some of
them may insist on the right, in
their transmigrations, to remove
obstacles like fences and things that
interfere with their progress, but
the more reasonable among them
will not be likely to demand such
broad privileges. Sheepmen are
not disposed to ask overmuc h.
Incidentally, it may be observed
that a plank in the Republican
State platform has been shivered.

They have said to those people II is
practicable to increase your water
supply by 1000 cubic feet day;
this will irrigate 20, 900 acres; the
cost will be $226, 900, or SLIGO an
acre. The Government is prepared
to advance the money for this I'M
dertaking and guarantee you, the
people of Toole and Davis county,
chat the cost will not exceed the
amount named. After making this
clear cut proposition, the Govern
ment, operating in Utah, said tothe
people: If this is a good thing for
you, organize, so Government can
deal with responsible head, aud
work will be begun on the earliest
possible day. -.
Now, we ask the people of Idaho
if that doesn't look little more
like the action of sane Govern
ment, under the leadership of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, than the vague,
misty, up-in-the air business that
has been going on in the Boise
Valley7 Does it not make you sus-
pect that what has been represented
to you as Cover nment wasn't Gov
eminent at all, but some fancy en-
gineering business for fame and
popularity? Did you ever analyze,
in your mind, what Mr.. Newell
said in Nampa about Government
being great and an ancient bust
ness institution? You probably did
not, because if you thought of it at
all you felt that the subject, on &C.
count OF its vastness and antiquity
was too sacred for common brains
to NEEDLE with. That is the way
it impressed us, but once in a while
our thoughts would break away
and work independently. and then
we woald seem to see that venerable
pile Of Government moving through
the ages like a glacier, wrapt in
gloom and majesty, with Mr.. New
ell and the rest of the Reclamation
Department turning the crank to
the tune of Old Hundred.
Since hearing from Utah, Mr..
Newelrs description of Government
does not affect us the same as it did
before. We suspect the venerable
ruin idea was sprung at Nampa for
a special purpose. We recall that
the proconsuls, in distant provinces,
were wont to maintain their own
authority and magnify their own
glory by impressive descriptions of
the power, magnitude and antiquity
of Rome. Human nature doesn't
change much in 30 centuries. Men
change their methods and their i'm
plements, but not their purposes.
There are various brands of pious
frauds besides those invented and
operated by the "Fathers.

MAKES FOR PROGRESS.

Elsewhere in this paper will be
found communication signed "a
Citizen" which deserves considera-
ton. 1t is written by an eminent
lawyer who has had long ex-
perfence in irrigation matters in
general, and especially with the
legal phases Of the subject. THE
TRIBUNE, necessarily derives con-
ISOLATION from the reflection that men
of tina ability of its correspondent
have some regard for its views even
ifthe Geological Survey is as utterly
indifferent as it processes to be.
The irrigation problem involves
every problem of industry and COM
lnerce in the arid section of the
State. It is at the root of every
particular thing appertaining to the
material welfare of this locality, and
cannot be too much discussed. In
giving expression to Our views on
the various phases Of the question
as they arise, we are inspired by no
dogmatic spirit, but simply express
what we think at the time, ever
holding ourself ready to modify or
change our views as new or differ
ent light is given us.
Men have come among US full of
ideas acquired in California, or
,Wymoning, or Colorado, and they
have insisted on planting those
ideas in Idaho, and compelling them
to take root and flourish here. But,
after a while, if they happen to be
sensible men, they have come to
see that what was applicable and
parctical in other States would not
work here. They have found some
radical difference of conditions that
required different system or a diff
ferent method.
Our correspondent suggests that
a Wyoming system has been grated
onto this State, which, however
wellit works in Wyoming, works
badly here, because there is a diff
ference between the Wyoming and
the Idaho constitutions. The vail
dity Of that system, which Is in
corporated in a law enacted last
winter, has already been attacked,
and the event may prove that the
system is not adapted to Idaho.
Nevertheless, it is based on good
principles, namely the ascertain
ment of existing water rights. and
the perfecting of an Intelligent and
authentic record. 1t is a very Ella
borate piece of legislation, and
things harmful may have been in
jected into 1t. But it is along the
line of solving the great problem,
and, though, this particular law
may, and perhaps ought to, perish,
1t will make something for progress.
Its defects will soon appear and be
removed, and its virtues remain to
work cut the good that IS il them.
