1t looks very much as if the arid
region of the Rocky Mountain coun-
try has passed into history by the
act of Providence Those who have
taken note, especially farmers, gard
eners and fruit growers, did not need
the records and scientific advice of
the weather office to know that the
rainfall so far has been greater this
year than it was last year, and greater
then than the year Immediately pre-
ceding, and so on, each twelve month
making dry farming less and less
dry without the aid of artificial ir-
rigation. This is a matter of more
consequence than superficial obser-
vers are wont to ascribe to it.
Between a line bisecting Utah about

POPULAR TALKS ON LAW.
BY William c. Sprague, President of
the Sprague Correspondence
School of Law.
Contracts.
IL. The Statute of Frauds.

10. Tic StdtutC VI I'll duuo.
1t seems strange that there was
time when contracts of any and all
kinds could be made by word of
mouth, and that consequently oral
evidence was permitted in the courts
to prove such contracts. Knowing as
we do that witnesses to oral agree
ments are liable to defects of men,
DRY; that they must all die; that with
in a short time after a transaction,
misunderstanding and differences of
opinion arise readily among people
who see and hear the same thing at
the same time; and that perjury in
such cases is so hard to prove-we
wonder that Our ancestors did not
sooner see the necessity of guarding
the safety of contracts by some strict
er rules of law.
When in 1876 the English Parli-
ment passed what has since been
known as the Statute of Frauds, the
purpose of which was to safeguard
contracts, it enacted the most i'm
portant piece of business legislation
ever put upon the statute books of
any country. So wise was this law
that it has stood to this day, practic
ally unaltered in England, and is to-
day, with some changes to fit local
conditions, part of the statute law
of nearly every state in the United
states.
This Statute of Frauds declares
that as to certain kinds of contracts
writing is necessary. The chief
kind of contracts affected are con-
tracts relating to land. Before the
passing of the statute, an interest in
land could be transferred without
writing; hence no proof was required
OF such transfer excepting the oral
testimony of the witnesses to the act.
If these died or suffered a lapse of
memory or swore falsely, endless
trouble was liable to arise. The stat
ute cured this by requiring a writing.
Another important provision relat-
