The Miner Makes New Money.

The purchasing power of money rs
based upon certain standard estab-
lished by the nations of the world, and
gold is the measure of all values, and
when we speak of the money of ulti-
mate redemption, we always refer to
gold. The farmer, in his planting, in
his harvesting, and in his marketing,
has but one idea in view, and this is,
.'What will the product of his farm
bring?' Of itself this product possess
ses no real intrinsic value, for it is per-
ishable. Were he unable to dispose of
his grain and other farm products, in
some form or other, his labors would
be in vain, excepting the use to which
a portion of 1T could be used. to sustain
life. In selling his product he receives
for it money that is now in existence
but the farmer never creates money,
Sad the same can be said for every
5ther branch of trade; of every other
Ere of industry, be it manufacturing,

Voter Right Belongs to FIRST User

A most important decision has just
been handed down by the Idaho SUI
preme court at Boise involving water
rights which affects number of cases
now pending throughout the state in
which the supreme court hold that
where man actually diyerts the water
of stream and applies it to a benefi-
cial use in the irrigation of his growing
crops, although he never applied to the
state engineer fer permit to do so,
and has never secured either a permit
or license from the state engineer,
still his right is superior and para
mount to any right that a subsequent
appropriation can procure, even thong h
the latter secures a permit from the
state engineer.
Judgment for the plaintiff in the
lower court in the case of James R.
Nelson against Ralph Parker and
Frank Parker, to establish priority of
water rights is the action in which the
supreme court ahirms the Judgment of
the lower court, the decision being
written by Presiding Justice Ailshie
and concurred in by Associate Justice
Sullivan. The appeal was taken from
the district court of Oneida county pre-
sided over Ivy Judge Bulge.
The supreme court puts an end to a
practice which has been in force in the
office of the state engineer for years
past when it ruled that the state en-
gineer has no right or authority to in
terfere with vested rights or to grant
8 permit for the appropriation and di-
version of the water of a stream where
the same has already been diverted and
e applied to beneficial use.
1t is held, moreover, that a water
right is real property and one who has
actually diverted the water of stream
and applied the same to beneficial use
is in the actual possession of such real
property, and this possession constitut-
ed actual noticeto any subsequent ap-
proprietor of the water of the same
stream, or to any person who subse-
quently applies to the state engineer
for permit to appropriate and divert
the water of the stream.

such extremes that the degeneracy of

A VERMONT ACTION.
(From the Barre Times.D

A feature Of vermonts attractions has
been brought to notice again by the feat
OF several st. Johnsbury boys who have
explored a cave in tie town of Peacham
on the Houghton farm, so-caled, and told
about 1t through the newspapers. Prob
ably the same performance has been done
many times befor.' but people in general
throughout Vermont were not aware that
there was n cave Of such magnitude IN
Caledonia county. SO that the exploration
of the boys Is Of fresh interest Entering
a flssure in the rock, the boys descended
&c feet with the aid of ropes. picked their
way along for fifteen feet and then de-
seconded ten feet more to rock shelf,
where the expedition stopped, although
the hole in the earth reached much further
inward and downward. as they were able
to ascertain by hurting stones into the
darkness. to hear them strike water many
feet beneath, perhaps as many as one
hundred feet In addition there were
many side caverns which were not ex-
plored because tho youths were already
numb and drowsy with the cold; and we
are left in doubt as to the size of the
opening in the earth. However, the main
cavern Is wonderful enough to interest
explorers in tho interior Of the earth s
crust, and Nermonters need not go to
Virginia or other distant sections Of the
country to see a miniature Mammoth or
Luray cave. Furthermore, let it be an
nounced that there is such an interesting
natural cleft in the earth and we shall add
to the repute of Vermont as a wonderland
worth visiting. If we were real circus

OTTD'S AUTO,

Young Otto bought an auto, which he
ought to not have done
TIL he had studied fully how an auto
ought to rum
But Otto didn't do It, so he had himself
to thank
That when Otto cranked the auto, why
young Otto was the crank
For Otto left the auto with the lever
pushed to "go,"
When he ought to have reversed It, with
tine power shut off, you know;
SO when otto cranked the auto, the auto
gave a jump
And landed Otto spraying, with an auto
matte thump.
But Otto grabbed the auto as the auto
autoed by.
Then Otto and the auto adown the street
did fly;
Ard at a speed that auto the luckless Otto
whirled
Like an automatic autocrat who thinks
he owns the world
While the auto-hating public stood and
watched the auto rash
Till it ran against a amppost With a most
terrific crash,
T'hcn they sadly laid poor Otto. who had
lost his auto zest,
Where the autos cease from troubling and
the Ottos are at rest.
