One on the Doctor.

A call at the rooms of DR.. r. +.
Topliff, over the postoffice, discloses
the fact that he has one of the finest
furnished and best equipped dental
parlors in this section of Iowa, and
best of all he is enjoying very lucra-
tive practice. This last however.
might naturally have been suspected.
as his father before him is recognized
as one of the leading dentists of the
state. and the profession thus comes
as a sort of second mature to Ray,
which natural ability has been
rounded ont by full college course.
He is careful, painstaking and skill
full workman and any work entrusted
to him will be done in the most ap-
proved manner and at reasonable
price. -Postville Review.

sought to. restrain the county commits
sioners from granting articles of incor-
poration to the village of Soldier, con-
tending that upon the showing made to
the commissioners they had no right in
law to grant such privilege. The court
sustained the county. commissioners and
the village charter will stand.

this case the city water is brought
through an open ditch across the farm
of DAILY, thence into settling basin
and from there conveyed through pipes
to the city for domestic use. DAILY $
cattle polluted the water in the open
ditch and the city sought to restrain
him from this act DAILY contended
that it was his own land and he had
right to do as he pleased with it. The
court held that where public health and
safety is concerned the rights of the
Individual were subservient to the rights
of the community and ordered DAILY to

the cattle from the ditch in question.

GOOD NORMAL SCHOOLS.
Catalogues Show That Both Are
Prospering Satisfactorily.

The Journal is in receipt of cata-
logues from the both of the Idaho Nor
NAL schools, and it is pleased to note
the increased interest manifested in
those institutions as indicated by their
growth and progress. The Albion
school is of special value to the Journal
readers as it is located right at our
door and it is an institution that any
state might well be proud to claim and
support. The last legislature dealt
generously with the Albion Normal and
the institution is growing stronger each
year. There is no better school man
than President Axline of the Albion
Normal, and he is surrounded by a
strong faculty. 1t is only since his
taking charge Of the institution that it
has grown TO be more than a county
high school for Cassia, which was for
tunate for Cassia county. Under the
management of President Axline the
institution has taken place as one of
the strong schools of the west and
really state institution. 1t is no small
factor in the settlement of the newly
irrigated lands of the Snake river valley
that this excellent institution is located
right at our doorway.

ALBERTA HAPPENINGS.
WeIsI to Be Drilled Begin Work
on Big Dam This Week.

Arrangements were made this week
for Boise well drilling outfit to come
to Alberta and start to drilling wells as
soon as tue machinery can be shipped,
which will be by the middle of next
week. The first well is to be put down
at the company office.
Two large traction engines, an Ad-
vance tandem compound and Reeves
cross compound, with elevating graders
attached. are waiting at Alberta for
coal to start them to work on the road
between the town and the construction
camp on the canal. One of the engines
will be used for blowing, grading and
general utility work on the construction.
J. w. Monarch. one of the large con
tractors or the government project at

finished inside of a month. The diver

PATRICK FLIES THE COOP.
Grip Thief Caryes His Way Out of
Jail, and Away he Goes.

Patrick Howard, of the world at
large, is not particularly in love with
Boise as place of residence so he
made his getaway early Tuesday morn
ing from the Shoshone jail, and the
wild, wild winds refuse to give up the
secret of his presence. Patrick it was
who recently stole grip from a
passenger on the east bound train, and
when he discovered the grip only con-
tanned the catalogues of travelling
salesman for a wholesale hardware
house he walked quickly to the river
and cast the offending grip into the
deep, purling waters of Little Wood
river. His arrest soon followed, and
since then Patrick has been thinking
about his chances. Monday night he
concluded his best hold lay in trying
for a getaway He used an old case
knife to saw off two of the bars of his
cage in the jail. Patrick happened to
be confined in the only cage in the Jail
not made of chilled steel AS soon as
he had cleared the cage he used the
handle Of the stove shovel to dig away
the walls of the jail. Just underneath
the window sills there is one course of
brick, the rest of the walls being of
stone He pried out brick enough to
get his hands behind the stone and in
less than five minutes after getting
out of the cell he was free, with the
wide world before him waiting, as in the
time of Alexander of old, to be con-
quered. Patrick left no address. He
also failed to leave much of trail
He likely did not take time to walk out
of town -he flew.
1t has since developed that Pat re
ceived material inspiration from his fel-
low inmates.

be used for general utility work, haul
ing material 20 miles from the railroad
to the two dams, and for pulling plows
and graders in the excavation work
Mr.. Kamerich says that his company
has several dozen of these engines now
doing farm work in Idaho, at American

applied last April for a license to run a
saloon at Shoshone Falls. The commits
sioners denied the application on the
grounds that the location of the saloon
was within FIVE miles of the location of
a construction camp working no less
than twenty-five men. Bassett APP
pealed from the decision of the commits
sioners. Since this appeal was taken
the state supreme court has held that
the five-mile limit law was unconstitu-
tional. Another complication, how
ever, arose from the fact that the last
legislature gave the county commits
sioners of the various counties optional
power in granting of saloon license,
while under the Interpretation of the
old law they had no discretion in the
matter but must grant a license when
ever the necessary bond and cash were
offered The new law did not go into
effect until after Bassett had made his
application for the Shoshone Falls sa-
loon license, and the court held that the
commissioners must issue the license
under the old law for a period of one
year from date of application.
The most important case ever brought
before this court, probably, was that OF
J. H. Pierson VS.. State Land Board.
In all Carey propositions the absolute
right to handle the lands passes from
the United States to the state govern
ment, and the law makes the State
Land board the court of hearing in all
contest cases. Pierson brought a con-
test against the entry of c. S. Love-
land and the State Land board upheld (
the entryman. Pierson appealed to the
district court. The attorney general
took the position that there could be no
appeal to the district court as the State
Land board was the court of last resort,
according to the law in such cases. as
ong as the State Land board kept
within the limitations placed around it
BY the law. Judge Walters upholds the
position of the State Land board and
lismisses the appeal of the contest.

Near End Of Case
HawIey Begins Final Ar
eument TOday--NO
Limit in Time.

The Haywood trial is drawing to a
close. During the past week the de-
Tense put Haywood and Meyer both on
the stand. Their testimony was to the
effect that they were both very innocent
of any criminal acts. They corrobor-
ated all of Orchards testimony except
where he had connected them with Grim
inal acts. They each testified that they
made it practice of the Western Fed
Grafton to defend any of its members
who were charged with the commission
of crimes against mining property or
persons who had offended the Fedora
; ton, wherever the federation was in
volved, or the principles of the order.
This testimony of itself brands their or
ganization as an outlaw. They ex-
planned their sending $500 to defend
Orchard when he was first caught on the
above plan.
The greater portion of the week has
been taken up by the state in rebuttal.
Witnesses have been produced who have
been unknown to the state until having
read the testimony of the defense these
witnesses volunteered their testimony
in rebuttal and have virtually denied
every point made by the defense Two
of the defense witnesses have been ar
rested on perjury charges. The man
who had charge of all of the powder
used in the indicator mine testified
that the two men who were killed by
the explosion at the sixth level of that
mine could not have been killed by acci-
dent, as the defense claimed, for the
reason that both men changed clothes
in his room before starting down the
shaft that day and neither of them car
ried revolver. He heard them give
directions to the hoist man, heard them
give the stop signal at the sixth level
and almost Immediately after the stop
signal was given the bell rang again
and the hoist man could not start the
cage. In clearing away the debris of
the 6ADlOolOI tlliiS Willitoo tSoIiiitd Niio I
a stick of powder was found there such
as Orchard said he had used and it was
different from any in use in the mine.
Altogether the states case has been
very materially strengthened by its re-
buttal testimony.
All day Wednesday was spent in ar
gument as to the cutting out of certain
