Boise-The first contest that has ever
been filed in the state engineers office
under the provision of the state irriga-
ton law providing that holders of sub
sequent permits for improvement of
streams may contest the previous loca-
tions if fifth OF the work has not been
done before the expiration of half the
time allowed, has been filed with the
state engineer. The contest comes from
Nez Perez county, and Senator Fred I.
Dubois is contestee. Senator Dubois
and associates filed an application on
April FL, 1908, for an appropriation of
the waters of the east and west forks of
Sweetwater creek, Waha creek, Lake
aha, Captain John creek and other
small streams in the vicinity of Lewis
ton to the extent OF 400 feet second.
II. L. Powers, of Portland, and F. d.
Warner, Of Lewiston, were later grant
ed permits covering much the same
ground as the permit issued to Senator
Dubois, ct al. They have now filed
protest with the engineer asking for
cancellation of the Dubois permit. .
Although it is necessary for the SEN
ator to complete a fifth of the work by
October 20 of this year, it is alleged
nothing whatever has been done.

boiae-The commissioner OF the gen.
eral land Office has affirmed the decis-
ion OF Receiver Garrett, of tie Boise
land office, in refusing to return s41O
to Harvey Wells, of Centerville. whose
offer to enter tract of timber land un-
der the timber and stone act had been
rejected on the ground of fraud. The
question arose in this office, the re-
ceiver refusing to return another appli-
cant's money.
The commissioner OF the general
land Office overruled him, but the re-
ceiver asked that the subject be re-
viewed. This led to decision by the
secretary of the Interior that such
money paid in by applicants when
offering to enter was public money and
was subject to forfeit if fraud were
proved. 1t was contended by the at
torney for the applicant that the re-
ceiver merely held the money for the
applicant pending determination of his
case.
There have been Eve cases of reiec-
ton OF offers to enter land in this office
because OF fraud, in all of which the
money deposited is forfeited. Some
other cases are pending and it is ex-
pected number of them will be de.
cided against the applicants, as the Off
GERS of the government claim to have
conclusive proof of fraud.

Tact in Reproof.

Advice or reproof does more harm
than good when il is so rudely or
roughly given that it brings humiIia
ton or indignation. If from your real
anectionate regard for a relative you
wish to point out TO her or to him an
error or correct a fault, do 50 as gent
ly and as cautiously as you know how
and do rot try to correct mistakes OF
point out shortcomings too often. says
the Washington Star. Give your ad
vice in private and always give less
advice than sweet, complimentary
speeches. A compliment is not less
but more relished when It comes from
a member Of ones family than when
It is a tribute won from stranger
and these signs OF appreciation that
you give OF some dear ones wit, wis.
dom or beauty are little home tru.s-
that are ever affectionately remem-
bered and come ever like gentle dews
to refresh the seeds OF affection ana

manded of the high school boy.
How deep that knowledge goes and
how wide a difference in sense may be
given by words very like in sound, was
shown in a recent examination in Eng
lish literature. One Of the questions
asked for the name of poem by VII.

the boys taking the examination had

the poem was discussed and that his
