ESThNC|H HGh|N WINS IN
BHTTLE FOR COUNTY SEfT
Judge MFie Holds that Esancia Is and since the Passage
of the Act of 1905 Has Been the County Seat
of Torrance County.
DECISION IS SWEEPING and POINTED

decisive Of this case, and it does
not become necessary for the
court to consider and pass upon
other contentious of counsel;
however, lest it might be under
stood that the views of the court
herein expressed practically com
mitted the court to a different
conclusion in the event that a di-
rect proceeding was instituted, it
is proper to say that such a con-
clusi0n should not be entertained
for the reason that a direct at
tack upon the act of 1905 would
involve several legal considera-
tons foreign to the present ac-
ton. | do not regard the case of
Territory VS.. Clark, supra, as
conclusive Of the question wheth
er Estancia was the de jure or
de facto county seat of Torrance
county. While language was
uSedin the opinion which might
be so understood, it must be re-
membered that the same was
not necessary to q decision of
that case, as it was immaterial
whether Estancia was de jure or
de facto the county seat of that
county, the same under the cir
cumStances of that case.
The motion to quash is sus-
tained, permanent injunction will
be denied, and the temporary
injunction heretofore issued will
be Quashed at the plaintiffs
costs.
1t is so ordered.

BRINGING OUT
English Manufacturing Company
Enters Mercantile
Business

On Monday of this week a dea
was closed whereby the business
stock and goodwill of the L. j
Adams store adjoining the post
office, was taken over by the
English Manufacturing Compa
ny, The stock is being greatly
replenished and will be kept ur
to the dot in this regard. The
business will be conducted under
the name of the Estancia Mer
camille Company, N. L. Williams
being in charge of the store al
present.
The arrangement thus perfec
ted will not only give the compa.
ny an opportunity to get a por'
tion of the local mercantile bust
ness, but will also assist the com.
pany in helping the employees OF
the planning mill, box factory
sawmills, freighters, etc. During
the past, it has been necessary
for the company to pay the en-
ployes about the middle of the
month for work performed the
previous month, on account Of
the clerical work necessary in
checking up the time of each
.laborer. Under the new arrange
ment the employees will have nc
trouble in securing the necessary
goods at the store, each laborer
being extended credit not to ex-
ceed the time he has been en-
ployed.
Along with the announcement
of the purchase of the store,
comes the announcement of the
purchase Of the sawmill of Men
denhall & Freeman by the Eng
lish Manufacturing Co, From
this, it would appear that the
business of the recently incorpo-
rated company has been very
satisGacto y, OF no steps toward
branching out would be taken at
this time. Both sawmills will be
kept busy supplying the planning
mill and box factory, as we'll as
the local lumber market III the
foothills where the mills are To-
Gated.

the death at that place of Grand

in the valley with her son, sew
eral months during the past year
She was born in Durham, New
York, June l 1916, and died Sep

she attended Sunday school at
the Antelope school house, and
on one or more occasions made
addresses to the children, urging
them to not only attend the
schools but to study the scrip
ture, as the best guide through
life. Her talk to the boys and
girls will long be remembered.
A large portion of her life had
been spent in missionary work in
the state Of Kentucky, at a time
before many Of the present gen

In the injunction proceedings
instituted by Macario Torres
against the Board of County
Commissioners, enjoining them
from the building of a courthouse
at Estancia alleging that
Progreso and not Estancia is the
legal county seat, which came on
for hearing in the District Court
on September 16, at which time
counsel for the plaintiff was not
ready toplead and asked for more
time, Judge McF'ie handed down
a decision the first of this week,
quashing the motion to sustain
the injunction, denying perma-
nent injunction and quashing
the temporary injunction at the
costs of the plaintiff.
The court upheld the amenda-
tory act of 1905 amending the
act of 1903, ruling that Estancia
is and has been since the passage
of the said act of 1905, the legal
ly constituted county seat Of
Torrance county, The decision
is in part as follows:
In the District Court for Tor
rance County, Macario Torres
VS.. Board Of County Commits
sioners of Torrance County.
Injunction.
The plaintiff, Macario Torres,
brought this suit as a citizen and
taxpayer Of Torrance county, al
leging that the board of commits
sioners were about to proceed
with the erection of a courthouse
at the town Of Estancia without
authority of law, and prayed for
an injunction to restrain the
board from doing so.
While Chapter 2, Laws 1905,is
an amendatory act, itamends the
former law in nearly all of its i'm
portant provisions, 1t is really
more extensive than the former
act, The boundaries are changed
the county seat is different, new
provisions are inserted and differ
ent provisions are made for the
payment of proportions of indeb-
tedness due to other counties,
Section 3 definitely locates the
county seat at EStancia, and
while no reference is made to
Section 2, Chapter 70, Laws 1902
locating the county seat at Pro
greso, this section is directly in
conflict with it, and there being
a repeating clause as to all laws
in conflict with the law of 1905,
Section 2 of the former act is not
in existence and has not been
since 1905, 1t seems to me, there
fore that the present action must
be considered a collateral attack
upon the law as it now stands, in
that the plaintiff, to be entitled
to the relief sought, must sue
cessfully attack the act of 1905.
While, of course, this may be
done, it must be done in a direct
proceeding.
The prayer of the petition in
this case is that the defendants,
its members, officers, agents, at
torneys and representatives be
restrained and enjoined from
building, contracting for, or in
any manner authorizing, permit
ting or allowing the construction
of a courthouse or other county
buildings for said county of Tor
rance, in or at the town of Es-
tancia, etc, 1t will be observed
that it is not denied that bonds
for that purpose have been is
sued, sold and are now in the
hands of innocent purchasers;in-
deed the prayer indicates that
the proceeds are now available
for that purpose,
The above considerations are

INDIANA WRITER'S DEFINITION

Tt is thus says Meredith Nichol-
 son, that man with any imagina- tion feels first about woman who begins to interest him-that there was never any beginning to their acquain- tance that can be reckoned as time and experience are measured, but that he has known her for countless years;
 will indulge in such fancies as that he has seen her as a priestcss> of Aphro-
 dite in the long ago. dreaming upon the temple steps; or that he has watched her skipping pebbles upon the violet storied sea against q hay background
 of cities long crumbled into dust, Such fancies as these are> a part of loves gentle madness. and luckier than she knows is the girl who awakens in a lover this eager idealization. If he can turn verse for her in which she is added to the sacred Nine, personifying all sweet. gentle and gracious things. so much the better. Just what he. on the other hand, may mean to her: just what form of deifieation he evokes in her. he can never know; for the women who write of such matters have never been those who are sincere or worth needing. and they never will be. so long as woman's heart remains what it has been from the beginning-far-h hidden, and filled with incommunicable secret beliefs and longings, and tremulous with fears that are beyond mans pow CT to understand. d."-lndianapolis Star.

 Went Wide of the Mark.

This being the middle of the open season for deer the subject of big game is frequently discussed just now at the various gatherings of men in this city. Naturally the ailment known as buck fever" is often referred to by story tellers.
 That reminds me of something worse" sad Lieut. J. C. Burnett of the United States branch photographic office, the other day. Tt reminds me of bear ague.' Never heard of it. eh? :? Well l first encountered it in Wran- gell narrows. Alaska. a number of years ago. We were on the old sur vcying steamer Patterson.
 Just as we rounded point q: -land not more than 200 yards distant d big black bear was seen on the beach looking at us. Eight men took up rifles at once and were about to shoot when 1 told them to wait and fire all at once in a volley when I gave the order. They all took careful beads on the beast. Ready. fire.' shouted.
 There wal a rattle of musketry as the eight pieces were discharged. and every one looked to see the animals death throes.

Hillside Consolidated.

Today the final link in the affairs of the Hillside Consolidated Mining com pany was welded through the passing of several deeds for the Golden Idol and other mines in the Cherry Creek district AThe transfer of the Idol was closed by the payment of ss0O0 to C. T. Joslin as trustee by J. H. Tribbey. After that was affected Mir. Tribbey sold to the Hillside people the same property With the above was anoth- CT deed from D. E.. Parks which trans fers his title to the Anchor and three other mines located in the same belt to J. H Tribbey and the latter deeds the ground to his syndicate, the Hill- side The above sales carry heavy sum in the aggregate. Mir. Tribbey is a member of the Hillside Consolidated and will be identified with the man. agement of the affairs on the ground. The closing of the above sales was practically agreed upon several days ago. Development will be started on the mines at once and pushed to great depth.

he has changed his residence from the
 territory. he is nevertheless at heart as true anNAriZonan as in the halcyon days of the '70s. He proves his asser- ton by the fact that he has retained his mining interests in the Bradstaws that he located originally over thirty three years ago. He had them pat ented at that time. He believed then as he does now that the mineral indi- cations were most inviting and his re- turn to the old field is for the purpose of making practically demonstration to this end. He is preparing to ga to the Alta mine next week. The Silver Prince, the Black Warrior. the Blue Bird. and many others, were associat- ed with his name. and after disposInG of his interest in the Black Warrior in 1879 he went to Downey, California. where hc invested the proceeds from that sale and has prospered through it.

MONEY MADE OUT OF GARBAGE

The United States supreme court has decided against the property rights of hotel proprietors and pig feeders in garbage.
 There Is no hindrancc to the prop CT collection and dispusal of gar bage; it's utilization to the best ad- vantage has still to be worked out
 In Minneapolis each household drains it's garbage and deposits 1t in a paper wrapper in a properly cov- cred can. It is gathered and burned at the ,inclnerator: the steam gen. erated can be utilized for the pro- duction of electricity apd for the heating of certain public buildings. During 1909 the estimated saving will be between seven and eight thousand dollars. When planned ex- tensions are completed saving of from thirty to forty thousand dol lars per year will be effected. Min neapolis has had no trouble from snow or freezing in the cans
 The city of Cleveland derives a profit by extracting grease from its garbage.-Exchange.
