An opinion was handed down by
the Supreme Court this morning In
the case of NJ. +. Scott vs.. Joe Maria,
alias Joe Maria Pedro. = This Is an
action instituted in the District
Court to recover $40 and interest,
based on the defendants endorsement
of n draft in favor OF Frank olivera,

legged that the draft was presented

the time the note was delivered to
the plaintiff. After judgment for tho
defendant In the District Court, plain

lions to the sustaining OF the demur-
rer. and also on exception to. the de-
NAL of his motion. for a new trial.
The latter exception, however, the
Court says. has no merit. The eX-
ception to the sustaining OF the de-
murrer Is sustained.

LEGISLATORS SEE
CRACKED RESERVOIR

Last Saturday afternoon the mem
bers OF the House of Representatives
through the courtesy OF the I'm.
provement Club, were taken out
in automobiles TO see the Kaimuki
reservoir. They went up and were
shown by z. X. Myers and Superin-
tendent Campbell the big cracks in
the thin walls of the reservoir. SUI
perintendent Campbell pointed out
how impossible 1t is to repair the rec
eptacle of Kaimuki's water supply,
and stated that he was going to ask
the Legislature to appropriate $40,-
900 to build a new reservoir higher
up on the hill. This, he said, would
supply all that part OF the city with
water, where. as now. with the pres
ent pumping facilities, the water can
not be lifted to a height sufficient tc
supply all the residences. No fire
protection is afforded under present
conditions.
On the way back the party stopped
at the residence of Mr.. Daggett ant
partook of his hospitality.

The Country Paper.

In no activity has there been more
progress during the last twenty years
than that of the country newspaper.
There are now hundreds of country
papers which. in editorial ability. me-
chanical appearance. and all that con-
tributes to inspire respect and COM
mand attention are fully abreast of
their metropolitan contemporaries in
moral tone, and often in editorials they
surpass most of the great dailies. In
times past the country editor was quite
generally regarded with a Multiplying
contempt as good-natured but chicken
hearted chronicler of inconsequential
locals. All of this has changed. Coun-

Final Proof on Stone
and Timber Land.

The supreme court of the United
States has made an important ruling
concerning the timber and stone law
as follows: st is provided by Section
3 of the timber and stone act that eff
feet shall be given to its provisions by
acquisitions prescribed by the commits
sioner of the general lard office. But
this power must be construed as au hor-
izing the commissioner to adopt rules
and regulations for enforcement of the
statute and cannot have authorized him
to virtually adopt rules and regulations
destructive of the rights congress had
conferred. AS there is no require
ment concerning making of final proof
of particular affidavits and as the en-
tryman who complies with the prelimi-
nary requirements is under no obliga-
tion to make such affidavits and has
full power to dispose ad interim of his
claim upon final issue of patent the
motive of the applicant at the time of
final proof is irrelevant and therefore
that error was committed, not alone in
instructing the jury that the Indictment
covered or could cover procurement of
perjury in connection with final proof
and that the jury might base connec-
ton thereon but in admitting final proof
as evidence tending to show an alleged
illegal purpose in the primary applica-
ton for the purchase of lands. From

Raise More Pork.

The high price of pork along with
the satisfactory conditions for raising
it profitably in Delta county, ought to
encourage that branch of the stock in
dustry.
Alfalfa will do much of the business
and Delta county should raise at least
enough pork for its consumption.
While many farmers raise enough to
supply their homes and some to sell,
many others do not raise any hogs and
little is done toward supplying the
towns or all of the farm population
And hogs should pay well to raise.

WASHINGTON. The day was hot and
the senate had sat for hours listening
to Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin

customary dramatic accomplishments,
had worked himself into lather of ex-
citement and appeared to be upon the
verge of physical collapse. Cullom OF
Illinois leaned over to Frye of Maine
and said:
Frye, just look at LaFollette. 1 be-

ator, every misfortune has its COM
