they will receive certificates and the certificates will
represent the credit to which the holder is entitled
on water right charges under the reclamation act.
The work upon project will be staked out by au-
thorized engineers and divided into sections of such
size as the individuals contracting to do the work
may be able to provide with the necessary bitches
and other Improvements, the contracts being made
with associations of owners of the land
Compensation for the work under individual con-
tracts will be agreed upon under the supervision of
the reclamation service To each person perform
ing the work, the association will issue certificate
showing the value of the work DONE in compliance
with the estimates of the engineer. These certif-
Gates will be received as credits on annual payments
for water rights as they mature.
For the Payette-Boise project there is now $780,,
900 available and with this money and the applca-
ton Of the cooperative plan it is estimated by the
supervising engineer that 100000 worth of recla-
nation work be DONE In its application to other
projects, reclamation be proportionately adj
vanced to the great advantage of the land holders
The director of the service says "this plan will
be basis for regulations suitable to local condi-
tons where such cooperation is desirable" If the
reclamation a1otments can thus be expanded four
fold, it will very greatly hasten the time when the
semi-arid lands of the State will begin to enrich
the producers out of the bountfu returns of which
they are capable.

Cooperation In irrigation.

Upon its irrigable acreage of land Idaho depends
for the agricultural development that is certain
to come that time will extend itself into the flu
ture Irrigation projects have been instituted and
some of them carried out, while others await the
accumulation of money needed for their completion
To the settler with little money these delays often
compel the REIMBURSEMENT of soil that may have been
held a number of years awaiting the coming of
water.
To overcome these delays and hasten the recla-
nation of land, D. w. Ross, supervising engineer
for Idaho recently submitted plan to the depart
ment at Washington and it has been approved and
will be acted upon with little delay possible.
Under this plan, land holders will cooperate with
the public service, contributing their work. for which

rlormon Campaign Assessments.

In the distribution of information that belongs to
the public The Scmitar has right to comment on
the appointment of Frank c. Bramwell to the posi-
ton of receiver at the Federal land office at La
Grande in the neighboring State of Oregon The
appointee is a Mormon and is the son of Frank S.
Bramwell, leader and man of prominence in the
councils of the church of the Latter Day Saints
The bestowal of a valuable governmental position
upon this representative of the Mormon organization
is recognition of the political services of the church
Mr.. Bramwell is receiving salary of $4,000 year
and onetenth of his compensation is paid annually
into the treasury of the Mormon church
Law, custom and public sentiment prescribe that
no assessment shall be made upon any Federal Of
fcer in support of political party and under the
improved conscience of the Nation, the requirement
is violated at the peril of the violator
But in the case of the Mormon church. law GUS
tom and the operation of public sentiment are sus-
pended and assessments are freely permitted, Au-
thority for this departure from the nflexib1e rule
that is applied the Gentle is found in the Nor
mon book of Doctrine and Covenants" in revela-
ton number 119, divuged by the Lord through
Joseph Smith:
Verify saith the Lord require all their surplus
property to be put into the hands of the bishop of
my church of Zion,
And this shall be the beginning of the tthing of
my people;
shall pay one-tenth of all their interest annually
and this shall be standing law unto them forever
for my holy priesthood, saith the Lord.
In compliance with this command, one-tenth of the
salary of the receiver of the La Grande land office
will be conveyed into the campaign fund of the
Mormon church to be used (f deemed advisab1e) to
clear the way for the appointment of other Nor
mons to other Federal positions, that the church
may gain greater profit through its alliance with

In other particulars, official influence in the dis
tribution of public land is important to the church
control, for the church has uninvestigated repu-

Teachings of the Saints.

Teachings of the Saints.
Some of the early teachings of the INSPIRED be-
ngs" that dealt out morality for the Mormon church,
while gross in their language and almost unfit for
publication cannot be passed by in voicng appeals
for the eradication of growing vice They repre-
sent sentiment and conditions that prevail today
in the inner workings of the church, which has
grown cautious in the wording of its Speech while
fully maevolen in its designs against virtue and
that purity which is the boast of the civilization of
the twentieth century,
In 1857, on the 4th day of April, while addressing
a congregation of the faithful in the Mormon taber-
nace, Heber c. Kimba1l president of the church,
said:

sixty years of age, if he will take the counsel of
Brother Brigham and his brethren that he will

but wife, and is inclined to that doctrine,
begins to wither and dry up, while man who goes
into plurality looks fresh young and sprightly Why
is this? Because God loves that and because
he honors his word and work. Some of you may
not believe this-I not only believe it, but I also
know it For man to be confined to one woman
is small business 1t is much we can do to
keep up under the burdens we have to carry, and
do not know what we should do if we only had
one woman apiece

which Mormonism accepts and expounds, such ut

in the days of the isolation of the Sect when there
was policy to be conserved by concea1ment of
the RIGHTEOUSNESS of the hierarchy and its followers
Nearly year earlier, the 9th of November
1856, the teacher, President Kimba11 of the
Mormon church, said in the tabernacle and his re-
marks were printed in the Deseret News the organ
of the church:
| have wife child that has any right to rebel
against me. If they violate my law and rebel against
me, they will get into trouble as quickly as though
they had ransgressed the counsel and teachings of
Brother Brigham. 1t is the duty of a woman to
