certain persons living in that county Co

fishing large experimental farm for

Monday by George A. Day, state land
appraiser, who went to Bingham county
the latter part of last week for the spe
cial purpose of securing the land to be
applied toward filling special land
grants of the state. OF the amount of
land selected 2500l9 acres will apply to
the grant for charitable, penal and re-

chased outright from the state. The
parties who requested that the selec-
lions be made at this time guaranteed
to the state that they would purchase
the land at price not lower than $40
an acre
The land is in the northern part of
Bingham county, about Is miles north
east of Idaho Falls. The persons who
are to secure it from the state are farm

San francisco.

1t is now year and two months since
San Francisco, was desolated by earth
quake and fire. The property loss, the
suspension Of business, the discourage
ing thought that the city was in con
stant danger OF earthquakes, might
have driven less spirited people to
other cities, and left of San Francisco
only pile Of ruins. Instead of that, the
year shows an extent of reconstruction
to fill the American heart with hope and
confidence. San francisco has shown
the nation what Americans can do.
The mere figures tell much Of the
story. The property destroyed is es-
timated at half billion dollars. Sew.
enty-fve million dollars have been
spent in building during the year, and
permits have been granted for other
building to the amount of fifty million
dollars.
1t is not temporary building; all that
has ceased. San Francisco is building
for permanent future, and is taking
advantage of the lessons and opportun-
tiles which disaster brought, for better
construction, finer architecture and re-
modelled streets. Fifty Thousand men
are engaged in building Industries, and
to them ina year fifty million dollars
have been paid. The banks report

Frederick Trevor Hill contributes an
interesting article to the current is
sue of Putnam's Magazine on legal de-
featers of the law. Mr.. Hill is not only
a member of the New York bar in high
standing, but is the author of a number
of legal works, of several novels aud of
recent biography of Lincoln the
Man"
The stories which Mr.. Hill tells out
of court room are rather severe ar
raignment of the prevailing legal habit
of quibbllng over technicalities and
thereby defeating the ends of justice.
He quotes Justice Brewer's striking ex-
ample of the sort spoke which the trick
ster can surreptitionsly insert in the
wheels of justice. A witness testified
in certain case that a person named
Mary was present when a particular
conversation took place, aud the ques-
ton was asked, "What did Mary say?"
This was objected to, and after some
discussion the judge ruled out the ques
ton. An exception" to this decision
was Immediately taken, and on appeal
the higher court reversed the verdict
and ordered new trial on the ground
that the question should have been
answered. At the second trial the same
inquiry was propounded and elected
the information that Mary said nothing.
Mr.. Hill gave some other striking
instances. Some years ago in Boston a
burglar was suspected OF gaining access
to he house he robbed by means of
duplicate keys, but for long time he
successfully evaded the police. Fin
ally he was apprehended in the very
act of removing key carelessly left in
front door and being arrested was
duly indicted for larceny. Benjamin
Butler defended him and pleaded that
a key was part of house and house
real estate. Therefore no conviction
was possible for larceny, which covered
the stealing of personal property, not
real estate. This plea actually availed
and the prisoner was discharged. In New
York, Henry L. Clinton, we'll known
criminal lawyer, successfully defended
brutal murderer named Shay by dis
covering clerical error in the indict-
ment. This paper, instead OF reciting
that Shay, with certain knife, stabbed
his victim, read, "a certain knife did
stab," ETC., which the lawyer insisted
was an Indictment of the knife rather
than of Shay, and the culprit went free.
Mr.. Hill adds that this same eminent
practitioner asserts he has defended
over 100 murderers aud has succeeded
in every case in either acquitting the
prisoner or saving his neck. "a state
ment which speaks for ITSELF" com
ments Mr. Hill.
