The efforts of this government, how

paper used for Bank of England notes,
which are probably the finest paper
in the world. These notes are
manufactured from fine Irish linen.
and the peculiar properties OF the Test
namel produce paper Of \ purity and
texture unsurpassed. The secret of
the security of the Bank Of England
note against forgery and conterfeiting
is said to be entirely in the paper itself
and not in the printing.
In addition the notes show Il waite.

pert from the mill can tell by Il glance

Decision On Irritation

The Supreme Court Of Idaho has Just

reaching in its results and I've Of in.
calculablc benefit to the country. The
decision In effect is that no MAJ is en-.
titled to irrigation water than he
needs no matter what he has heretofore
been getting. In the early days. when
cultivated land was scarce and there
was not much demand for water and 10
scientific knowledge as to how much
was required to successfully grow Il
crop, it was the custom for each farmer
to have two or three times as much
water rs lie needed. Much good land
was made o Il and suggy and was
greatly injured by too much watering.
The Supreme Court decision will change
all Of this. While priority rights will
he carefully s~afcguardcd. there will he
no wasting Of water. Tho principle be.
ing established that no man is entitled
to more water than he needs. the next
step will bc for experts to determine
that question. When that is done il
will mean sufficient money for many
thousands of acres moro land than are
now in cultivation under any given
canal.
