Surely a No.Account Doo,

A man in Missouri recently sued a
railway company for damages for
the death of hound killed on the
track, says the Youths Companion.
The company defended itself upon
the following points:
Said dog was chasing a rabbit up
defendants tracks in violation Of the
game laws.
Said rabbit lived on defendants
right of way. and was therefore the
property of the defendant.
Plaintiffs dog was a trespasser.
and was hunting defendants property
without permission.
Said deceased was not much of
dog, anyhow, or 1t could easily have
kept out of the way of defendants
trains.
And having fully answered. defend
ant prays to be discharged.

A WATER EXPERIMENT


Those who complain that the city
already has debts enough should
bear In mind that the water plant
debt Is not a-debt, but an asset. AZ
least that Is what we were told few
years ago when we were In the hys-
terlcal process of acquiring a worn
out plant which today needs two or
three thousand dollars In the way OF
repairs md improvements. >
But the people are finding out the
difference now They are paying
Just as much for water as they did
under the old system. and at the
same time they are being taxed to
pay interest on the plant and to pay
for repairs.
The city used to receive taxes on
the plant; now II does not receive any
thing except free water for the city
hall and few other city institutions
There are also several thousand peo.
pie who are helping 10 pay interest
and repairs and purchase price on a
plant from which they do not receive
any benefits at all. since the water is
not brought TO them.
They used to tell us IN large let.
ters that the plant was not only able
TO pay for itself out OF It's earnings.
but the surplus could be used 10
build city halls, bridges and beautify
the city until II should resemble a
modern paradise.
All these dreams are now Jokes
We are up against the real facts, and
the management OF the water plant
has not been such as TO make any of
these realizations as yet. and there
is no promise that they will be real
ized in the future. But these things
should not discourage us. We should
regard the water plant as an asset.
not a debt, Let us stick to that and
be as happy as we can.-Cedar Rap

Few of the leaders in n. hous
or the senate will openly discuss the
presidential situation, but a few
have offered opinions as to the eff

into the race will have upon ,rG
other candidates. Among tknse was
Senator Plat, the aged solpn Of the

Hughes as "the pig in the poke" and
declared that he would be wholly
unable to land the New York dele
cation.

Platt. New York state is not 60

TAFT AGAINST HUGHES

ANNOUNCEMENT OF GOVERNOR ENTRANCE INTO LISTS OF ACT
I'VE CANDIDATES MEANS HARP FIGHT FOR TAFT AND IN
BITTERNESS OF CONTEST OTHER CANDIDATES SEE POSI-
BnITEs OF THEIR BEING CHOSEN BY, COMPROMISE.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 30
washington politicians and observ-
ers of the trend of political events
look upon the speech to be made by
Governor Hughes at reception to
be given at the Republican club in
New York city tomorrow night as
likely to be the most important ut
terance yet made in the battle royal
now being waged for the republican
presidential nomination. With the
New York chief executive openly in
the field, the Taft boomers have re-
doubled their efforts. Taft sentiment
in the west is apparently gaining
daily strength, but in the east and
in the New England states Hughes
looms as a formidable figure on the
eyes of those who a few short
months ago were jubilantly declar-
Ing that Taft already had the nomi-
nation in his pocket.
The announcement of Governor
hughes entrance into the lists to-
morrow night came suddenly upon
the Taft adherents and found them
unprepared to protect the interests
OF their candidate in New York,
New Jersey and New England where
the tide has apparently turned
Hughesward. 1t had been general

by the Taft men, that the governors

entrance of Hughes into the race
has rendered the task of the Taft.
managers doubly difficult. 1t is
feared by the secretary's supporters
that if he should fail of sufficient
lot, many state delegations now
placed in the Taft column might be
swung to the New Yorker. The
other presidential possibilities-Fai
banks, Cannon, Knox, Cortelyou,

PUNTA ARENAS
SCHEDULE FOR ADMIRAL EVANS
WILL BRING BATTLESHIPS IN.
TO PASSAGE OF STRAITS OF
MAGELLAN TOMORROW.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 30
According to the time schedule of
Admiral Evans battleship fleet on
its cruise to the Pacific, Punta Ar
meas will be reached tomorrow. The
town is little collection of novels
with about 1920 inhabitants, and is
the farthest south of any communi-
ty on this side of the globe. 1t is
situated in the Straits of Magellan,
narrow channel about $40 miles
long, between the bleak and barren
shores of Patagonia and Terra del
Fuego. The passage of the straits
is generally believed by naval au.
thorities to be the most hazardous
portion of the long journey of the
feet. Rumors of a recent attemes
, to destroy the battleships, which ap-
parently had their origin in Europe
gave the straits as the place where
attempt would most likely be made
These rumors are discredited by
naval men, who declare that all such
stories are manufactured out of
whole cloth by sensational Partisan
newspapers.
The cruiser Chasabuco. the pride
of the Chilean navy, will meet the
American fleet at Punta Arenao and
welcome Admiral Evans to Chilean
waters. The Esmaraldo was origin
ally detailed for that service by the
Santiago government, but recently it
was decided to send the Chasabuco.
The cruiser will carry John Hicks.
American ambassador to Peru, and
several members of the legation staff
as well as number Of prominent
Chilean officials. 1t will attend the
fleet as long as it remains in Chilean
waters.

COMPANY JOIN IN PLAN TO

RIVER F0OR IRRIGATION.

The United States government
and the Twin Falls North Side Land
& Water company have entered into
contract whereby one million acre
feet of water will be impounded In
Jackson lake, to be turned into the
Snake River when needed during the
irrigation season.
BY the terms of the agreement the
government will commence work at
once upon dam. AS a result of the
construction of this dam and the
impounding of so large a volume of
water the normal flow of the Snake
river will be maintained during the
months of July and August.
During the months of July and
August the river frequently goes al
most dry at Blackfoot, while farther
down Their is an abundance of
water. 1t is to maintain an equal
flow that the dam is to be con-
structed and thus insure to the up
per valley plentiful supply dur
ing the irrigation season.
