Maternroofinu Matches.

Perhaps some Of your readers would

found a simple, inexpensive way to
waterproof matches. writes CORE
spondent to the Scientific American.
Into some melted paraffin (care be.
Ing taken that it was as cool as pos
sible) | dipped a few ordinary parlor
matches. After withdrawing them
and allowing them to cool 1t was
found that they scratched almost as
easily as before being coated with the
wax. Several were held under water
for six or seven hours and all of them
lighted as easily as before immersion.
When the match is scratched the par
sffine is first rubbed off and the match
lights in the usual way.
Matches treated as above would be
very useful on camping or canoeing

IMPORTANT DECISION
OF SUPREME COURT

When board Of county CON-
missioners has included lands be-
longing to railroad company with
in the boundaries Of an irrigation
district, even though such land is
not benefited by the system Of irrl-
cation works, the action of the
board III final and conclusive against
collateral attacks, according to an
opinion handed down by the su-
preme court on Tuesday in the case
of the Oregon Short Line Railroad
company Va. the Pioneer Irrigation
district. The action was instituted
in the district court for Canyon
county to enjoin and restrain the
defendant irrigation district from
collecting an annual tax levy made
by the district. Judgment entered
by Judge Bryan, granting an in
junction, is reversed. The opinion
is written by Justice Stewart and
concurred IN by Justice Ailshie.
Chief Justice Sullivan dissents.
Lands of railroad company nm
der an irrigation district, 1T is held,
are subject to assessment pro rata
according to acreage just like any
other LAID. The town lots in
Nampa, which were claimed sub
iect to assessment, were decided net
to be so included because being
within corporate limits, although
some California courts have held
that city and town property under
Irrigation is subject to assessment
| Just as is farming land. The rail
road maintained that its nght-of-
way was in no way increased in
value by being under an irrigation
ditch and that for this reason it
should not be assessed to pay ftr
the dutch. But the court holds that
the law makes no distinction le-
tween what uses land under the
ditch was put; that all land was
assessed in its natural state if water
could be run from il to the ditch.
II 1t was argued that if a farmer
used part of his land for a barn o.
a house that irrigation for those
few feet were Of no benefit to hin
and yet he would not claim exemp
i tion from assessment for such SUI
! face space. II the farmer could no

Z pany could not for its action.
