member of the Methodist church of this
village and of the Order of the Eastern

Christian woman and devoted mother,
and her later years were made brighter
by the loving care of her children, who
were always ready to do for her. The

Judge Fremont Wood, in his
charge to the jury in the Haywood
case, instructed them briefly as fol-
lows:
lst. That all instructions relating
to the law governing the case should
be taken from the court.
2nd, That only the evidence ad-
mitted by the court should be con-
sidered.
3rd, That that part of Orchard 5
testimony duplicating Pettibone and
Steve Adams in matters involving
criminal acts committed in northern
Idaho was not corroborated.
4th, That no connection was made
in the evidence that would allow the
testimony relating to the deporta-
tion of miners.
5th, That the indictment alone
was not evidence of guilt, but was
an accusation only.
9th, That the defendant was pre-
sumed to be innocent until guilt was
proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
9Th, That the burden of proof
rests with the prosecution.
Sth. That mere probabilities OF
guilt were insufficient to convict and
that to warrant a conviction the evi-
dence must be sufficient TO remove
every reasonable doubt.

9th, That it was the duty of the
Ijury to acquit unless sufficient evil
dence of guilt was produced that
would remove any question OF rea-
sonable doubt.
10th, That if the jury believe that
| the state has failed to make out a
case against the defendant they
have no right to convict and that
the jury has no right to convict on
the grounds of failure to produce
testimony upon his part. but should
either party fail to produce evidence
clearly within their power, this faet
could be considered by the jury IN
arriving at verdict.
11th, That the essential elements
of the offense charged in the indlet-
ment are: There must have been
a killing; that the killing must be
unlawful; it must be deliberated
upon; it must have been premeditat~
ed and must have been accomplished

MAY BEGIN IN SPRING.
Government Project to be
Started if Cash is in Sight.

A shortage Of funds is the only
thing that will prevent work being
started on the great government
irrigation project at this point nexi
spring. That is the opinion of promi-
nett officials connected with the ma
tional reclamation service as well as
Of those who have been closely con-
nected with the Payette-Boise enter
prise since its inception.
1t is estimated that II million dol
lars will be required for the work at
this end of the line, third of which
sum will be used in the building Of
a dam at Black Canyon, six miles
east of town. There is not now that
much cash in the reclamation fund,
but it is believed there will be by
spring.
1t is known that government
officials have been investigating the
quality and amount of rock that can
be secured in the hills on each side
of Black Canyon and they have found
aplenty. There is an unlimited
quantity of granite and basalt-the
kind admirably suited for the build
ing of dams. The site is natural
one. Great walls of granite rise al
most perpendicular on each side and
the bottom of the river is of the
same material.
There is considerable speculation
among those interested in bench
property as to the effect the govern
ment project will have on the Can
yon canal proposition. 1t is the
opinion of number of land owners
under the canal that when the gov
ernment canal is completed the Can
yon Canal Water Users Association
will make oyertures to the govern
ment to either take over the Canyon !
system or furnish power from the
dam so that immense hydraulic rams
may be installed for the purpose of
supplying water to the bench lands,
and thus do away with that portion
of the canal above Black canyon.
The proposed dam will be 76 feet
high. The Canyon canal is 125 feet
above low water mark in the river
at the canyon. 1t will thus be neces-
sary to lift the water 49 feet. With
the immense power created by dam
of that size, it would be no trick at
all to lift all the water needed, and
it could be done at a very small ex-
pense. The cost of maintaining the
ditch would be very little.

which the view is grand.
While in Salt Lake I visited Fort
Douglas, fort of historic interest
from which the twenty-ninth regi-
ment of Utah was just sent to Man
lila; also went through the state
penitentiary. The state owns over
three hundred acres here and it is
situated in beautiful place. Here
you pay fifteen cents for your ticket

through and points out and tells
you all you are allowed to see or

On my way home stopped a day
in Ogden. There you take car to
the foot of the mountains where
stage is waiting and for twenty
five cents you are taken about
eight miles up into the mountains,
through Ogden Canyon and along
the lovely Ogden River. A gentle
man in our party said the scenery
here surpassed anything he had
ever seen in Europe. At the end of
the stage route is large hotel

visit was the site of the Mountain
