For Peace Only.

1t is well known that the Friends
have always been devoted to the prin-
ciples of peace. AS they had a con-
trolling influence in the public affairs
of Nantucket, there was no military
organization on that island for several
generations. How the matter was
managed is told by the author or
september Days on Nantucket"
Whenever military companies came
to the island for Il holiday young Wo-
men thronged the windows and waved
handkerchiefs, but there was no rise
of military ambition in the town.
Once a coterie Of young men formed q
training company and sent to Boston
for equipments, but their elders com
pelled them to make the first article OF
their constitution read, This company
shall be dishanded Immediately In case
of war"

ABANDON TEST CASE
Attack on Reclamation Act Is Given Up
BY Boise Man, Who Takes Ap-
praised Valuation of Land.

The proposed extension Of the West
Umatilla project in all probability
will lead to complications between
the Government and land owners at
the proposed reservoir site. Land
owners have recently held a meeting
and set prices on the land at from
$3.50 to $500 per acre and sent out the
statement that it will be cheaper to
turn the waters of the John Day river
on the land than to use the proposed
site, which EN- aces their land hold
ings. However, the following relative
tc a case in Idaho, would make it ap-
pear that the government will have a
say in the matter. A special from
Boise says:
D. E. Burley, general passenger
agent of the Oregon Short Line, will
not test the constitutionality of the
reclamation act. He abandoned his
fight against it by effeoting settlement
with the district attorneys office here
in the condemnation case involving
his farm. which he carried to the oir-
cult court of appeals. The case became
famous in the northwest through the
contention of Mr.. Burley that the act
was unconstitutional, if it permitted
the Reclamation Service to contiscate
private lands. or engaged in private
enterprise to irrigate other than public
lands. Mr.. Burley owned l60-aore
farm in the bottom of what is now
the Deer Flat reservoir of the Payette-
Boise project. The Government started
condemnation proceedings against him
and secured verdict of $40 an acre
for the land. Mr.. Burley valued it at
500. The appeal from the verdict
given in the Idaho Federal Court was
made in the Circuit Court of Appeals.
The court sustained the verdict, hold
ing it is within the right of the Rec
lamation Service to condemn private
lands within or adjacent to public
lands the government seeks to irrigate.
Mr.. Burley then filed an appeal to
the Supreme court. 1t was this appeal
that he abandoned by accepting judg
ment of $5240.
