The supreme court has passed
upon the case of the state vs.. w. F.
Dolan, which was put through the
lower courts and appealed to the
higher tribunal for the purpose of
testing the constitutionality of the
state game and fish law as bearing
on the sale Of fish taken from what
were understood to be private
ponds.
Dolan was tried in the district
court in May last, on the charge of
Offering for sale trout that had been
taken from the ponds of Robert
Osborn, in Fremont county, where
this species Of fish is propagated
and raised. The fish were shipped
to Boise and there offered for sale
by Dolan. The trial resulted in
the conviction of Dolan and fine
Of $40 was imposed The case was
then appealed to the supreme court
it being the belief of those interest
ed that the case in question did
not come within the provisions Of
the law for the protection of the
fish of the state.
Under the law the court holds it
is permissible for the owner of any
private pond to propag to food
fishes therein, provided the pond in
question is place where food fishes
do not naturally abound, and the
owner may himself sell the product
Of the pond directly to consumers;
but it is a misdemeanor for any
other person or persons, or com
pany, to transport or offer for sale
of the products Of the pond
The supreme court affirmed the
judgment of the lower court in the
case, holding that the pond from
which the fish in question were
taken was not private pond with
in the meaning Of the law.
The pond, in Fremont county, is
made by damming a creek which
is natural spawning ground fol
trout and connecting it with an
other stream of the same kind. A;
the law provides a private pouc
cannot be created OF waters where
food fishes naturally abound, tht
court sustains the judgment of con
viction against the dealer. The
court says:
"such pretended private ponds
are only devises for the evasion o
said law and are not private ponds
within the meaningof said section

There was once a man who lived IN
the forest far from the rest of his
tribe. He lOst his wife and was very
lonely. After awhile he made a wood
en- doll about her size, dressed it IN
the clothes she used TO wear and set il
up in front Of the fireplace. Then be
felt better. SO a year passed away.
One night he came home, and there
was his wife sitting in a chair in place
OF the doll. She spoke to him, saying
The Great Spirit felt sorry for you, so
be let me come back TO see you, but
you must never touch me, for if you
do you win kill me-" They lived thus
together for q twelvemonth, but one
night he attempted to clasp her in his
arms. Behold, he was holding a wood
en- doll. she did not come to life again,
and he was very unhappy ever after.

DRAINAGE PLAN
PROVES To BE
SUCCESS
Since Explosion of Dynamite Water
In Butcher Pen Pond HasI
Been Slowly Falling.

The drainage plan Of Mayor Bliss,
f'H ..H.pIfl large quantity OF
dynamite in Butcher Pen pond to
drain that place seems 20 have proven
a success. ana Il is expected that it
viii be the means of finally getting
rid Of this most Undesirable pond Of
water.
Last night the pond showed a de-
crease in depth of fully eighteen
inches, thus showing that the water
Is running of through the immense
hole that was blown in the earth, eX-
tending down fully sixty feet deep.
Ii IS believed that the explosion
opened ND the strata beneath the
pond TO such an extent that the water
can now pass through into a subter-
Tanean passage and thus be carried
of.
considering the immense size Of
the pond the fact that the water de-
clined IS inches in twelve hours.
shows that there must me a large
opening through which it can now
flow.
