ANNUAL OUTPUT Of GOLD
DOESN'T AFFECT PRICES
Director Roberts Explains Con-
ditions by Citing Scarcity
of Food Products.

The production of gold and its effect
upon prices were discussed by George
l.. Roberts, director Ct the mint, at the
meeting of the Washington Chapter of
the American Institute of Banking last
night The lecture was one of course
which has been arranged by the educa-
tional committee of the chapter.
Before touching upon the gold produc-
ton Mr.. Roberts spoke OF cash and cash
reserves. He declared that a gold re-
serve was needed in this country, and
illustrated the benefit of Capitalization
of banking interests in other countries.
Production of Gold Discussed.
Speaking of the gold production, Mr..
Roberts said:
enc matter how many millions of tons
of gold might lie produced. each ounce
of II would always be worth s.0.67. But
it does not follow that $2O.67 always
would buy the same amount of clothing.

mand. operating upon both sides of the
equation.
I'm my opinion. the most important
factor in the rise of the cost of living
in the last ten years has not been the
increasing supply Of gold. but the rela-
tive scarcity Of raw materials and food
products"
TT must be remembered that from the
beginning of our history we have been
exploiting the native resources of this

has always been an abundance Of cheap

CITIZENS MAKE RAID.
Idaho Falls Citizens Clean Up Their
Town.

The peace and serenity of the coun-
Gil was interrupted Saturday by the
hurried entrance into the city hall and
to the rear of the room occupied by
the office of the police judge of sew
eral citizens bearing in their hands
pitchers and bottles of the same shape,
design and color of the ordinary beer
bottle. Inquiry developed the fact
that committee of citizens working
under the auspices of the recently or
ganized "Betterment League" had
quietly prepared raid and search
aud seizure on a number of soft drink
places during the busy hours of Satur-
day night.
Two pitchers were seized containing
what is supposed to be whiskey, and
no doubt it was, as we'll as several
unlabeled bottles supposed to contain
beer. Several other harmless bottles
OF lemon juice and ginger ale were
taken also. In one instance the raid
ers experienced quite scrap on the
effort of the attendant to make away
with the contents of the pitcher and
the search warrant was partially torr
The searchers had warrants and in
several instances had been made spec

OGDEN !, CAPITAL IN JARBIDGt
Jarbidge- Badger Group Is Financed
by Mining Men of Utah.

John e. Bevan, manager OF the
mines of the Badger COM
pany, came in on the train last even
ing to again confer with the other Of
ficers and directors of the company
regarding business affairs, says the
Ely EXpositor.
Mr. Bevan states the property of the
company is looking fine and he has
just made a deal with Ogden parties
who have agreed to invest in the COM
pany and furnish the money to con-
tinue development on larger scale
all winter. At present three men are
working, but Mr.. Bevan expects to
have ten or twelve on the pay roll
soon.
The development is by three tunnels
that crosscut to the lodges and in all
of which good ore has been found. The
lower tunnel has been driven 2S5 feet
to the ledge and drift has been run
125 feet in the ledge
Another tunnel cut the ledge in $50
feet and ore was found that concen-
trates seven into one and makes a
product worth S92 a ton. The values
are mostly in gold with little silver.
Two additional claims that adjoin the
company holdings are to be taken
over. All the holdings of the COM
pany and the adjoining ground have
good surface showings, and the pros
poets for developing paying proper
ty are regarded as bright.-Salt Lake

A Twin FALLS
CASE RFMANDFD
Reclamation Act Not a Revenue
Measure.
PKlORlTY OF WATER RIGHTS
TESTED BY SUIT.
Dispute Between Canal Company and
Settlers In Regard to Waters of the
Snake.

Judge Dietrich of the federal court
yesterday handed down an opinion re-
manding the case of the Twin Falls
Canal company against Joseph c.
Foote, Charles l.. Foster and others
back to the state courts for final set
tlement.
Inc case was removed to the federal
courts upon the contention that the re-
clamation act is revenue act the
same as other government laws which
create revenue departments are. Judge
Dietrich, in his opinion on the motion
to remand, does not sustain this con-
tention.
The action is based upon difficulties
arising from disputes regarding irriga-
tion and many settlers in the vicinity
OF Twin Falls are vitally interested in
the suit. By this action the Twin
Falls Canal company seeks to have
settlers restrained from using waters
from the Snake river which the canal
company claims. Owing to the fact
that such a large number of settlers
are virtually made defendant in the
action the outcome is awaited with in
terest in many quarters.
Judge Dietrich, in summing up the
conclusions as voiced in his opinion,
employs the following language
Q) Unquestionably, the reclama-
ton act is not measure ''for raising
revenue" in the constitutional sense.
(2) 1t is not clear and there is no
decisive ruling to the effect that the
phrase revenue laws" as used in sec
tion SAB is more comprehensive than
the constitutional clause, bills for
raising revenue"
CD However that may be, "reve-
nue. law as the phrase is ordinarily
understood, does not aptly describe
the reclamation act, it does not readily
or naturally fall into line with the
deF"n 'ant's view; construction is re-
quired
(4) There is nothing in the history
of section SAB or in the conditions con-
ducins to it's enactment from which it
is to be inferred that congress intend
ed to attach to the phrase, revenue
laws" any unusual significance or give
to it meaning beyond that which it
is ordinarily understood to convey
90 The reported cases are wholly
indecsive of tie question.
(6) There is nothing in the recla-
nation act from which it can be in
ferred that congress purposed it as a
revenue measure or from which the
presumption arises that congress pur-
posed that controversies like the one
here involved should be brought with
in the exclusive cognizance of federal
courts.
CD In view of these several con-
sfderations 1t is concluded generally
that the reclamation act cannot prop
erly be held to be revenue law
within the meaning of section 643.
The question may not be entirely
free from doubt but I'VE are admon-
ished that In cases where our iuris-
diction is subject to substantial doubt
it should not be exercised According
lv the motion to remand will be al
lowed

Logging cases have been tried and a
conviction secured in each case that
has come before the court and jury.
Charles Howard was the first often
der to be tried and he was found gull
ty on the three counts he was
charged with and was sentenced to
serve three and one-half months in the
county Jail and to pay fine of $4O0
and costs. Howard has also been
found guilty of violating the city or
dinance made and provided for such
cases and an appeal has been taken to
the district court. 1t is not known
at the present time when the case will
be heard
Percy l.. Beason was charged in the
information of making two specific
sales of intoxicating liquor, was found
guilty on one charge and not guilty
on the other. Beason has not been
sentenced as yet, as it is understood
that motion will be made for new
trial by his attorneys.
William Hill of Miner, was charged
with making two specific sales of Ii
quor and maintaining a nuisance. He
was found guilty of maintaining a
nuisance and not guilty of selling IL
quor
Frank Weber pleaded guilty of ped
ding liquor and was fined $3.50 and
costs of prosecution.
The cases on behalf of the state

Case of Jake Shank Against
Power Go. To Be Tried.
DEMURRER OF DEFENDANT OVER.
RULED BY FEDERAL JUDGE.
Damage to Amount of $4,000 Asked
by Injured Bull Rancher Because
of Electric Shock.

The fortune of $50, ,760 is the amount
or damages that John Shank demands
from the Great Shoshone & Twin Falls
water Power company of Twin Falls
IN suit that is now pending in the
FEDERAL court and in which Judge
Frank S. Dietrich handed down a me-
morandum decision on the demurrer
to the amended complaint which he
oVerrules, thereby making it possible
Tor the suit to go to trial. A shock
that Shank received from the power
lines OF the company which he says
badly burned him, disabled one arm
and the toes of both feet, is the
grounds for the suit.
The flat amount of damages asked
is 100000, added to which is the doc
tor bill, amounting to $3.50. Shank
claims that the power line was strung
lower than the law allows.
Passing on the demurrer to the
amended complaint, Judge Dietrich
says:
Il don't think that upon the face of
the complaint it can be properly held
as matter of law that the plaintiff
was guilty of contributory negligence.
It must be borne in mind that contri-
butOry negligence is defense to be
pleaded and proved by the defendant
unless it affirmatively appears on the
face OF the complaint or by the evil
dence of the plaintiff at the trial.
ut may be true that it is unlikely
or improbable that the plaintiff could
have had the accident upon which the
action is based without carelessness
or negligence upon his part, but such
likelihood or probability does not rise
to the dignity of conclusive pre-
sumption.
"In view of the general conclusion
/ have reached, I think it unwise to
anticipate and undertake to decide the
questions of law suggested in defend
ants brief and which, upon the evil
dence, may become decisive of the
rights and liabilities of the parties.
The demurrer will therefore be over
ruled"
