ARE FLAGRANT ABUSES
Bar Association Wants Cases
Decided on Merits.

"The trial of a case before a
court of appeals is a game IN
which the one wins who plays
most skillfully, the merits OF the
controversy having no part.
This is the declaration OF
special committee appointed by
she American Bar association to
draft laws to prevent delay and un-
necessary cost in litigation.
Courts of appeal will no longer
decide civil or criminal litigations
brought before them on purely
technical points, but will base their
rulings on the merits of the case.
if the recommendations OF this
special committee shall become
law.
The report opens with a state
ment that the existing evil which
seems most serious to the commit
tee is the disposition in many ]ur-
isdictions to dispose OF appeals OF
writs of errors. both in civil and
criminal cases, upon technical
grounds, and not to decide them
upon their merits. In the Jndg
ment of the committee the rule for
deciding appeals and writs OF error
should not be based on reversible
errors committed in the court be
low, but upon the merits as the
case appears upon the record.
| Continuing, the report calls at
tention 10 the fact that the tenden
CIV of the courts in common Law
cases is to construe adherence t(
st,ict legal rules as the right o o
| each party, and to reverse Il
there has been any infraction o
these rules The unrestricted righ
to a writ of error inc riminal case
4 is characterized by the committe
| as fragrant abuse in judicial pre-
cedure.
The committee declares that tn
reforms in civil procedure whic
it recommends are not theoretical

An Exciting Race.

The finish of the baseball season
in the National and American
leagues is close and exciting. In
the National league, New York,
Pittsburg and Chicago are close
ly punched in the order named
with only few points difference,
the loss of game by the leader
being sufficient to change the
standing. On Tuesday Chicago
was in the lead with New York
second and Pittbsurg third. Yes
terday, New York went to hrs'
place and Pittbsurg to second.
In the American league, Detroil
is only one point ahead OF cleve'
Ilaud, which holds second place.
Chicago is two points behine
Cleveland. The race of the lead
ers in the two leaguese is th'
most exciting ever witnessed.

not be tried a second time by
national campaign managers And
we believe it is the way most OF the
voters prefer to have their politics
served. Everyone reads these
days, and a candidate can, through
the medium of the advertising col
umns, get at the voter when he
isn't busy with his own affairs.

the candidate bothered him at his

Prune Shipments Increased.

Chares P. Hartley yesterday

increase of his fruit packing facil-
tiles was made necessary by the
rapid ripening of prunes. He has
been shipping two carloads a day.

HENRY COOKS PLANS.
Will Plant 10 Acfes 70
Fruit Trees.

That Emmett will within the
next Eve years become one OF the
largest shippers of choice fruit IN
the West IS the prediction OF those
Who are in close touch with the
development that is now taking
place and is being planned for the.
future in this end of the Payette
valley. Last spring the acreage OF
fruit trees was doubled; the COM
ing spring it will be increased ten
fold. Talk with. the owner OF
slope or bench land concerning his
plans for improving his property,
and he will invariably tell OF the
numbsr of fruit trees he will plant
next year. 1t is probably a con on
servative estimate to say that 5Oo
acres of new orchard will be set out
n the spring. Some OF If will be
devoted to small fruit, some to
vineyards, some to apples, large
area to sweet cherries, but the
greater portion will be peaches.
OF this acreage, Henly Cook
will plant close to 200 acres
Since coming to this valley last
spring he has picked up 800 acres
Of choice slope land. representing
an expenditure of $25, OO0. His
tracts are scattered from the head
of Maiu street to the Hopper ranch
on the south slope. During the
summer he has had force OF men
and teams removing sagebrush and
preparing the raw land for spring
planting.
AT the head of Main street he
has 20 acres which he will set out
to winter apples trees, mostl7 jon
athans and Winesaps.
Further south, on the 4O acres
purchased from A. A. Richards, ne
will plant more apple trees OF the
same variety.
The Budden farm he will devote
exclusively to Elberta peaches, AZ
acres in all. :.
On the MoultOn farm, ne VII
plant 20 acres to apples, 40 acres tt
Elberta peaches, 10 acres to swee'
cherries and 5 acres to several va
rieties of California grapes. This
farm already has fine bearing OF
chard of apples, pears, peaches
sweet cherries, grapes, stIawoer
ries. blackberries and dewberries
With the addition of 70 more acre
it will be the largest orchard II
this valley and probably in south
western Idaho. :,
This looks like a big undertak
ing. and it is. 1t means the plan
ing of at least 10000 trees. Whel
that lob is completed, he will hav
the still larger task of taking car
of the trees irrigating, cutivatins
and pruning. But he is gitte
with an abundance of energy am
has the means to carry on tn
work on a large scale, and ths
he will successfully complete n
present plans there is no doubt.
Many others will follow his e,
ample, though not on such lare
sale. Among them are K.
Shaw and J. R. Field, both OF thel
owning choice tracts OF ca
slope land. In addition to peach'
and sweet cherries, they will plal
several acres apiece of Californ
grapes.
