AN IMPORTANT SUIT
 IN CHANCERY COURT
The Title to ArteSidn Church to Be De-
 cIded by Judge Shaver Next Month.

An important suit that will come before the approaching term of the Nevada Chancery Court. which meets the first Mon day in June is one deciding the ownership of the Artesian church property.
 This property is located five miles west of Prescott, and is one of the oldest churches in this section. The land on which it is located comprising about thirty acres was deeded to the Cumber- land Presbyterian church in 1853 A church house was immedia te- ly built on the site, and it was i'll continuous use until a few years ago when another, and more commodious structure was builtl Soon afterwards a union was affected between the Pres by yterian churches. but a large following of this congregation re- fused to go into the union, and are holding the property. The re- united church is claiming the ti- tie by virtue of the action of the Presbytery, Synod and finally the General Assembly and this suit is to determine the matter.
 There is, however, no serious i conflict the suit being practically friendly one, both churches us- ing the building and arranging their appointments 50 as not to conflict. The Cumberiands, how ever continue to collect the rents from the land, which is used 1 for farming purposes

Reception for Mrs. Haines

On Monday afternoon Mrs. M. E.
Boyd Of the Cottage hotel gave pub
lie reception in honor Of Mrs. M. l..
Haines who left that night for Seattle
and Alaska. The Office and parlors
Of the hotel were nicely decorated
with flowers, and maps OF the North
west and Alaska were fastened to the
wall SO guests could follow out the
course of the trip she is to take. The
steamer trip will cover over two thou
sand miles, eight hundred of it ly-
ing among the islands of the coast.
AS people passed through the spacious
parlors they were served with punch,
from the big punch bowl presided
over by the Misses Evelyn Boyd and
Florence Haines.

ing the hotel. The doctor is past
master in managing the auto, and is
subject for congratulation since he
got the car that carried the governor
and his party in the parade at the
Diamond Jubilee. People who know
what autos can be expected to do,
were surprised on that occasion at
seeing the car held down to the slow
pace taken by the parade, and not
losing it's power, Not many machines

other usefu things for the benefit of
mankind.
Perpetual care will be another inn
portant feature of the cemetery of
the future. By this is meant that a
portion of the purchase price of the
lots will go into fund, the income
from which will be used for the care
of the cemetery after 1t shall be no
longer employed for burial purposes.
All the care cemeteries in the future
will need will be the cutting of the
grass, and, as there will be no head
stones to dodge and only few mon
uments, 1t is easy to understand that
such cemeteries can be kept in good
condition at slight expense, SO that
the park cemeteries Of tomorrow will
not only look well but will be econo-
mically and efficiently cared for.
Trees and shrubs will be largely
used in these new cemeteries, in or
der to give the natural and restful
effect so pleasing to the eye. They
will be grouped to afford proper
setting for the few monuments whose
erection will be permitted, and will
be used to create pleasing vistas and
attractive landscape effects. And so
the cemetery of the future will be-
come an important part of the park
and boulevard systems Of our cities.
Then will they indeed become Goods

NINE IMPORTANT IDAHO DATES

(All i'm the Nineteenth Century,
a. Old Congress bought chunk OF
the earth
For vastly more than she deemed
it worth;
Some statesmen ragged, others shook
with mirth
in 1903.
2. The dauntless couple, Lewis and
Clark,
Did forth on most tremendous lark
Or dangerous trip of adventure en-
bark
In 1906.
3. The Pacific Fur Company made
it their boast
In Astoria town to establish post
For trading in furs from the Snake
to the coast
In 1911.
4. Next, by the Oldest inhabitants
Up sprang Fort Hall at the crossing
of trails,
First Idaho town, or memory fails.)
In 1884.
5. Good Doctors Whitman and
t Spaulding came
With Cody courage and zeal afame
To start a mission worthy the name
In 1886.
G.. Then came to pass the gorgeous
find,
That always fires the sordid mind,
And brought a horde of every kind
In 1860.
z. Old Uncle Sam must take hand
To name and shape this strange new
land;
Twas made territory grand
In 1868.
8. And next was Idaho deprived
OF two great states, but she survived,
(And strangely, still increased and
thrived)
In 1868.
g.. Upon memorable date
Our Idaho became state;
She's yearly grown more grand and
great
Since 1890.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The re-
turn of the fleet to American waters,
after their record-smashing cruise,
will be momentous episode and will
add a final sun-burst of glory to the
administration of President Roose-
welt, whose active brain devised the
details of the grand adventure.
Meanwhile, some carping persons
have begun to count the cost of the
cruise, and the figures they present
are staggering in their immensely
l. is declared-and these are appar-
emily among the figures that do not
belong to the Ananias club-that the
world cruise, at its completion on to-
morrow, will have cost no less than
$27, 100000 When the ships enter
Hampton Roads they will have burn
ed up that amount-a fortune van
ished in the air with the smoke from
the tunnels of Admiral Sperry's six
teen bulldogs and the auxiliaries ac-
company them. Careful estimates
show that it costs about SIT, 100000
to maintain the battleships of that
| fleet, and that the maintenance
charge on account of the auxiliaries
is not less than $5,000,00O. The
ships will have been gone for sub
stantially one and one-fourth years
In round numbers therefore the cost
will be substantially $27,500,000.

tby OpCCIdl
CARSON, Feb. 10. President
Pro TEN Payne today introduced in
the senate the initiative and refer
endum bill promised by the Demo-
cratic state platform. 1t is modelled
after the Oregon law, which is the
limit in that direction, going further
than any other state in the matter of
electing United States senators by di-
rect vote. This was the notable.
event of the legislative day, which
has been a~trife quiet, after the ex-
element of yesterdays preliminary
skirmish on the anti-gambling meas
ure.
The bill providing for the division
of Nye county still sleeps in the pos
session of the senate committee, and
no one seems disposed to wake it up
in a hurry. AS matter of fact, the
lawyers who infest the capitol build
ing are talking today something
about the provision submitting the
whole proposition to a vote of the
people, before the bill has been en-
acted into law renders the whole
deal unconstitutional Just how the
splitting of this legal hair worked
that way is more than the lay mind
can clearly comprehend.
The matter of furnishing clerks
and deputies and fixing salaries OF
the same for county officers, which
has caused our friends over at Gold
field so much grief of late, and fur
nished the local papers there with sc
much good stuff copy, has been EN-
bodied in a bill, which was intro
duced by Representative Brooks to
day.
Perhaps the most important labor
bill yet presented was introduced b!
Lunsford today. 1t defines contribu
tary dependency and negligence, de
fines the same as a misdemeanor ant
prescribes a punishment therefor.

viding for fishing and hunting Ii
