A Circuit Judge Does Some Plain
Talking COnstitutiOnalitY Of
Sunday Closing.

Enforcement of law to the ut
most was made the keynote OF
Judge Watts Parker's charge at
Lexington to the grand jury of
the June term of the Circuit
Court. He completely and unre-
servedly overruled Judge Mccain
of Louisville, by emphatically de-
claring his belief in the constitu-
tionality of the Sunday closing
law, and prudentIy cautioned the
grand jury not to be influenced in
their Investigations into alleged
violations by this decision.
References were made to the
several tragedies that have taken
place in saloons on Sunday.
The most sensational feature of
the. charge was developed when
Judge Parker began TO deal with
the pool room situation. The ac-
acknowledgement by the bench that
the law had compromised with
this ofense in the past; had given
license by the mere imposition CT
fines and Above otfenses to con-
tinue; the statement that the time
had come when the court would re.
fuse to tolerate such compromises /;
that the court would wash Its
hands" and put the issues fairly
and squarely to the grand and
petit juries, came as a sudden
shock to every person in the
court room. If guilt be estab
lished upon trial and merely no.
minal punishment imposed, this
will be taken to mean that the
public is opposed to the enforce
ment of these laws; but if a dras-
tic and heavier penalty be given,
then will follow more vigorous
application of the law regarding
kindred otfenses.

In response to the summons of the
Board OF Trade about one hundred
citizens of La JInta gathered in the
courtroom Thursday evening for
the purpose Of discussing the pros
pect OF locating a million dollar
Presbyterian College in this city.
The facts concerning the location of
the college were set forth By DIR. j
l. Weaver. Of Pueblo. The synod
of the Presbyterian church of Colo
RADIO and Wyoming has decided to
locate a Presbyterian college some
where in Colorado, and the commit
tee having the matter in charge met
in Pueblo yesterday for the purpose
Of deciding upon a definite location.
IN order 10 secure the location of the
college il Is necessary TO furnish a
forty acre tract for a campus and
one building. and the town securing
the location must guarantee its
maintainence for five years, at the
end Of which time endowments suf-
ficient for all needs viii be obtained.
II. A. Mcintyre, Of Denver. owner
of several thousand acres of land
east of La Junta. has already offer
ed 10 donate the forty acre site re-
quired to secure the location of the
college, but it will be necessary to
raise $50. .Oc0 for the purpose of
erecting one building. As starter.
T. T. Woodruff offered 10 be one of
ten 10 give 81 600 each to the pro-
ject. and DR. Frank Finney and X.
w. Patterson pledged the same
amount. IL seems TO be the general
opinion that there will be no diff

COST OF RRIGATING IDAHO.
Reclamation OF 100000 Acres in Gem
State Costs 100000

The report of State Engineer James
Stephenson, jr., of Idaho, shows that
for the first time since It was created
the office has been self-sustaining
says the Boise Statesman. The ap-
preparation for the conduct of the Of
flee the past two years was $500,
and the receipts at the close Of the
business of that period will be very
nearly 1000.
Owing to the great increase in the
work demanded of the state engi-
neer's office Mr.. Stephenson recon-
mends an appropriation of $4,000 for
the coming two years, and the records
of the office guarantee that 1t Will be
more than self-sustaining az that fig
ure.
The report warmly commends the
results of the operation of the Carey
act projects under way in the state at
the present time, embracing about
500, 900 acres of land. the reclama-
tion of which will cost about $6,000,-
600. The largest of these is the Twin
Falls project, which now has about
23O, 900 acres under water and has
expended to date about s3,000,000.
The Twin Falls Land & Water COM
pany, which has almost completed
its project on the south side of the
river, is asking for the segre cation OF
about 1S5,O0O acres on the north side
of the river, in Lincoln county, and
proposed to begin active construction
work in the near future.

COLLECT INHERITANCE TAX.
Washington Endeavors to Collect on
se.OOO.OOO Fortune. -

Neglect has lost the state large
sums legally due it under the Inherit
ance tax law, but the state tax COM
mission is not quite as active in en-
forcing payments as the increased re-
ceipts from that source indicate, says
dispatch from Olympia.
In this connection it will be inter-
esting to learn that outcome of the
fight in the courts the commission ex-
poets to make to collect the Inherit
ance tax from the estate of j. NJ. Col
man, who died recently at Seattle
leaving about s6,O00,OOO worth OF
property to a corporation to which
he had turned it over shortly before
his death.
The commission insists this act was
fraudulent, and declares it will ask
the courts to declare the corporation
void unless the tax is paid. AS per
cent inheritance tax on this estate
would aggregate 100000. 1t will be
of considerable interest to the tax
payers of the state if the commission
wins this fight.

LARGEST CASH DEAL IN

Purchasers of Over $500, 100000 Feet
of Standing Timber Estimate That
il Will Take is Years to Fell and

Near Future.

Spokane, Dec. 25.-The largest
cash transaction with timber for an
equivalent ever consummated in the
northwest was effected today in this
place, when s6,OOO,OOO was exchanged
for 100000 acres of virgin timber
containing over 2,500,O0O,O00 feet of
lumber. The Monarch Timber Co.
was the purchaser.
A. w. Fleweling, representing the
Monarch Timber company, and F. A.
Blackwell, manager of the William
Howard Land & Lumber company
and owners of the Blackwell tract,
met in the formers offices yesterday
to consummate the deal.
It is calculated by the management
OF the Monarch company that II will
take at least Is years after the first
log is cut to saw the last stick in this
vast tract, even If it puts several mills
in operation and rushes the work with
all speed possible.
The panhandle of Idaho, particular
ly that portion lying between the st.
Joe and the st. Maries rivers, is al
most one unbroken forest and it is in
this country that the Monarch COM
pany has its holdings, the timber ly-
ing on the land adjacent TO these
streams, while some of it is far back
from them.
A report coming from Idaho says
that the management will Immediate
ly begin the erection and soon there
after the operation of the sawmills
necessary to saw the timber.
1t was further stated that although
the company had several stretches
ranging in length from one mile to
three miles along the st. Maries, these
tracts being upon both banks of these
rivers, no location of the proposed
mills had been made and none would
be for some time.

for the police department. Last night
the gocdly number Of IA were gather
I'd in by the night officers. Those ar
rested were for the most part way
farers who had INDUCED too freely in

came hoisterous. Eight of the num-
ber were white men Will the remain
der were Indians.

character of the beverages used

brnd with an unholy desire OF fight.
In consequence thereof Marshal Cur
dane was required to bring his Butter
creek pogiiistic training into play on
two different occasions. Early in the
evening Abraham Lyman, the WELL
known visitor from the reservation.
became filled with a desire to fight
with Officer Sheer. But before he
found that guardian of the peace he
fell in with the chief, much to his
subsequent sorrow. a moment later
he Indian was trying OF bite a hole in
the sidewalk and when he arose he re-
married.. Il sass you no more Tim:

Another troublesome character was
big fellow with corduroy trousers,
who desired to impress all with his
proves. After he had pursued the
tenor of his way for some little time
he was finally taken into custody by
Marshal Gurdane who locked the fell
low I'M. At that time there were but
two men in the Jail, both being old
and small in stature.
Within a short time the big fellow
had started a quarrel with the two
men and was making life miserable
for them when the marshal again ap-
peared. He at once took a hand in
the proceedings and when he finished
the man with the corduroys had COM
ple:e!y abandoned the idea of wanting
to fight. =
Contrary to the action of the mar.
shall on Thanksgiving day all of the
prisoners are being held this time.
and according TO the chief he will
continue to lock up those who are
rowdy until the Jail becomes full.
