WASHINGTON, MAY 1S.-The United
States Supreme Court has sustained the
decision of the Supreme Court of Ha-
wall in the case of the daughters
of John Williams in their suit against
w. r. Castle, trustee of the j. r. Will
Iiams estate. The decision holds that
illegitimate children are not legitima-
tized by the subsequent marriage of
their parents, when the parties at the
time of the birth of such children were
incapable of contracting marriage with
each other.
J. r. Williams died in, 1879, leaving
a will by which he devised his property
to a trustee to pay the income TO his
five children, and in case any child
died, to the issue of that child.
John Williams was one of the chill
dren of J. r. Williams, said W. h.
Castle last night. While he had a wife
living he had two children by another
woman. After has own wife died, he
married that woman. In addition TO
these children he had one child by his
first wife. The question arose on the
Hawaiian statute, which provides that
children born out OF wedlock are legltl-
matized by the subsequent marriage of
their parents. The question was,

THAT the tract of which

tural and horticultural region,
second to none in Idaho, is a
fact that needs no repetition.
All who are acquainted with
the ideal conditions of soil and
of climate with which we are
blessed, know that the future
of this locality is assured.
There are, to be sure, many
problems to be worked out be-
fore that happy day becomes an
actual reality, and the pioneers
to whose lot it falls to solve
them may see many a dark and
gloomy day before their work
is done. It may seem sometimes
that the price they pay, in
waiting and in uncertainty, in
addition to the labor and mon
ey that they have come here
ready to give, is toogreatforthe
return that is to come to reward
them. Many have come here
with the belief that there was
an opportunity to get much
with little effort. They are
now disappointed, and we fear
always will be. Others, and by
far the greater part, came be-
cause of the matchless oppor-
tunity that they believe existed
here to make homes for them
selves and their families in a
land of sunlight and a land OF
promise, and a land where every
man can win, by honest labor,
that labor's just reward. Time
will justify their faith. No
where in the world can be
found a soil that excels ours in
fertility; nowhere else does the
great sun spend his life-giving
beams in such profusion. Let
but water be put on that soil,
in suitable quantity and due
season, and the miracle of the
desert takes place. Barren OF
useful vegetation before, it
then becomes, under the skilled
hand of the farmer and fruit
grower, a paradise of prosper
ity.
Let no one be discouraged.
No matter what the present
uncertainties may be, let allkeep
always in mind the glorious flu
ture that awaits us, and work
on toward the realization of
that promise. Keep on, and
with watchful care clear away
all that impedes our progress,
and all that stands in the way
of permanent prosperity. We
who are here today are not
building for today, nor for to-
morrow; not for ourselves, alto
gether, but for our children, and
our children's children, that we
and they may live here, in days
to come, and enjoy the fruits of
our labor.
Let no one be discouraged,
for as surely as the sun shines,
the day is coming when the
clouds of uncertainty and the
fogs of deception that now
hang all about us and some
times even cause us to doubt
THAT there ever was a clear sky
and a bright sun, will all van
ish, and return no more. But
do not think that all this will
come to pass without effort;
our Mountain Home will be
what we make it. If we act
upon the theory that is better
to wait and see what will hap
pen, we cannot we'll expect
muchtobe done toward achange
from present conditions. If, on
the other hand, we believe that
conditions are not as the should

NEW BLOCK PROJECT.
Grant Lane to Erect Garage and Public
Hall Bti4.u4nq.

It is expected that another business
block will be added to those in the city
within a short time, besides the one
which L. B. Dodge is building at the
corner of North Main and Granite streets
This block win be erected in the near
future on Seminary street near North
Main by G. A. Lane on land which he
purchased few months ago from A. E.
Batchelder.
The building will probably be of brick
veneer, two stories in height. and will
be 1872 feet long, fronting on Seminary
street, and go feet deep. 1t Is expected
that the ground floor will be built with
a concrete floor and that it will be used
for a garage, as arrangements are al
ready under way with that end in view.
The second story will probable be fin
ished for hall, which will occupy the
entire floor except for the space used
for ante and dressing rooms.
Mr., Lanes present plan is to begin
operations on the project next week if
the weather is favorable The site Of
the building which L. B. Dodge is to
erect is nearly ready for the carpenters
to 60 to work, as the cellar il practically
completed and building can commence
within a few days
The new Central Vermont station il
practically completed and a few days
more work on the interior should place
it in condition for use. Workmen were
engaged today in making preparations
for the laying Of the platform, which
will be made of concrete.
