substantial buildings and stores, be-
fore the land opening, which is TO be
held this spring, possibly about the
first OF June. The land opening will
be for not less than $4,000 acres OF
land. and the surveys may show as
much as $1,000 acres of land that
are to be watered by the canal. The
land is to be sold for $50 an acre,
but the peculiarly advantageous pos

BARKING DOGS MAY BITE.
Idaho Court Defends the Ignorant
Cow Which Gets Scare

Senator Vest has been for years
through his eulogy of that animal
in a case for damages against the
killer OF any one OF these animals.
But new champion of the dumb
creatures has arisen--a judge whose
decision in favor OF the COW and the
pig and the chickens is as thrilling
and far reaching as the great talk
put up for the Missouri dog BY the
late lamented Vest.
Some time ago. while Justice All
SHE Of the Idaho Supreme Court was
chief justice, a case came up where
in the rights OF the dog versus other
domestic animals was to be deter
mined. A pack OF finely bred hounds
we're alleged to have attacked the
pigs and cows in a neighbours yard,
and chasd them through the fences
In their own yards. doing much dam
age. The COW owner appeared and |
shot a selected lot OF the hounds, |
all he could lay his gun on. The
dog owner took the case into the
court. claiming damages for the loss
OF the dogs, and alleging that the
dogs being so highly bred and train
ed would not attack domestic
stock. "The king can do no wrong"
Justice Ailshie. in writing the OPP
Inlon, said that the frightened cows
and pigs were not competent judges
whether the barking and chasing OF 5
he dogs were mere playful evidence {
II good breeding, or whether pedi-
srees extending back to the Ark were 7
sufficient protection against bites and
'ude treatment. That the dogs were 4
in their gambols could
lot be claimed by the owner; and :
he COWS were not supposed to be n
ersed IN dog pedigrees. or disposi- n
ions, or In dog psychology enough
o understand whether bark was
he forerunner of a bite, or a mere
Ilow-de-do' of the blue-blood socie-
Y CANNES. From what the cows d
new OF dogs in general. they were y
ntitled TO be scared and that the +
DIV owner believed as they did with
gun-was largely coincidence la
nd showed no malice on the part Of hi
he owner. F.
Judge Ailshie barely missed being
great humorist; he would have tn
zen If he had not been elected to be tn
great jurist. But the two fit in ST.

Comrades. in what soldier grave
Sleeps the bravest Of the brave?
Was II he who sank to rest
With his colors On his breast?
Friendship makes his tomb a shrine
Garlands veil task not mine:
Some low graves In the ocean beneath
Bears no roses; wears no wreath.
Yet no heart more high and warm
Ever dared the battle-storm:
Never foot had firmer tread
On the deck where hope lay dead.
Than are hid beneath the waves
Where the INTENDED sea grasses
sways.
And no stone, with feigned distress
Marks the sacred loneliness.
Youth and beauty. dauntless will.
Dreams that life could ne'er fulfill
Here lies buried; here in peace
wrongs and woes have found release.

UNION SOLDIERS HONORED
ON FIELD OF GETTYSBURG

Gettysburg. June Yesterday was
the day of tardy honor to the reg
ulars'' at Gettysburg. An imposing
shaft of granite. erected by congress
to the memory of those OF the regular
Iy enlisted forces who fell in the three
days fighting about the round tops"
and the bloody angle" was unveiled
by the presidents daughter. Miss
Helen II. Taft, while President Taft
himself paid tribute to officers and
men of the United States army, past
and present.
The president put himself squarely
on record as opposed to any reduction
In the present standing army. He told
of the prejudice which has often aris-
en- against the possible aggression of
regular army and professional
soldiery. and of the corresponding
difficulty in arousing that love and
pride OF the army which expresses
itself today. and has frequently ex-
pressed Itself in the past In behalf
of the navy. The president asserted
that the services of the regular army
never had been commemorated ade-
quately by congress or the nation.
The profession OF arms has always
been an honorable one." he declared.
"all honor to the regular army OF the
United States. Never in Its history
has II had stain upon It's es-
cutcheon."
On the way to Gettysburg from
Pittsburg, the presidents car was side
tracked at York for two hours and
during his stay he made a brief ad-
dress in which he delivered again OF
his hope for early enactment Of a tar
IN bill. "if the Lord will only be good
and send some real hot weather in
June"
