THE FAMOUS
WATER CASE

Judge Chas. A wilkin will be in
Canon City next Monday and at 10
o'clock the following morning will
preside at the hearing OF his first case
in the Fremont county district court.
The jury was dismissed several weeks
ago by Judge Champion until Febru
ary 13, but 1t was forgotten at that
time that the date set for its reas
sembling was Lincoln's birthday an
niyersary. and, consequently. a legal
holiday. A correction was subse-
quently made and the jury summoned
for the next day at 10 o'clock.
There is a large number of cases
to be tried and court will. probably,
be in session for several weeks. Per-
haps, the most famous case to be
heard at the forthcoming term OF
court will be the suit of the People
of Colorado versus The Twin Lakes
Placers company Cimited) charged
with the pollution fthe Arkansas
river by washing into its waters an
nually vast quantities of vegetable
and mineral matter in its mining op-
erations, rendering them unwhols-
some to many thousands of people
down the stream for domestic uses.
The plaintiffs in the case are The
City of Pueblo. The Trustees Of the
Public waterworks of Pueblo. The
Board OF waterworks Of Pueblo Wat-
erworks District No. 2. and The City
Of Canon City. The defendants are

his suspicion and was searched for
proof of his identity. Nothing ~zs

in the case, according to a decision
handed down by the supreme cour.
on Monday. The deciison. written by
Justice White, expresses the opinion
that this ought not to be the law. and
that all false swearing In open court
should be made perjury ylegislai-

The case was that OF R. D. NJ
Clelland OF Canon City, who Wac
tried and convicted in the district
court and sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for subornation of perjury. Nc
Cleliand was on trial. for contrihrt-
Ing to Juvenile delinquency, and, ac-
cording to the facts ss found by thf-
lower court, he persuaded ore
Charles Crowder to give falss test

year-old girl charged with juvenile
delinquency. out of the state to get
her out of the reach of the juven. .
court. McClelland was paced on
trial for alleged contributing to iuy-
emile delinquency.
The supreme court holds that his
alleged action in sending the girl 10
relatives living outside CT the state
-as not contributing to Juvenile de-
linquency as thst crime is explained
in the statutes, and that he cohld

granted an increase OF one dollar per
week In business such an action would
be called strike" but perhaps the
term is not fitted for the Swanton school
situation. The teachers were getting ten
dollars week and they asked for eleven.
In explaining the towns position fur
ther, The Courier makes the following
statements The school board had
wished this year TO introduce scale Of
wages, grading them according to the
ability of the teacher, her education and
results accomplished, but has been un.
able to do so for several reasons, one
being that every effort is now being
made to make a new school building
possible While IL is true that salaries
of teachers in Vermont as compared to
other states are low, IT is said that
teachers in Boston and vicinity are idle
waiting for positions at $3.50 per week.
RNoitVh pays Ito tt"tHtiS 40 hANh -
other towns in the state OF the same
size and the board has received several
applications during the last two weeks
from Normal school graduates, Offering
their services at $40 per week. Possibly
the places that have criticized the action
of the local board are paying their
teachers no more than Swanton is able
to do"
II is evident from the explanation
that the situation in Swanton was not
really so black as il was painted in the
first published report of the action Of
the six teachers in resigning. Ten dol
lars week is not princely salary for
a person who has spent years in prepare
tion for her work, but it is perhaps as
high as the average in Vermont How
ever, that does not prove that Vermont
school teachers are paid enough for
their services, for the pay is inadequate,
Swanton along with the remainder. A
graded scale Of salaries ought to be
adopted, with the benefit Of the in
creased salaries given the teachers who
have had more experience. That viii
be found to do away with much Of the
and injustice of a fiat
rate.

Trees In Cities.

Trees are appreciated in cities both
more and less than in the country A
tall elm springing from the pavement
is more admired for its isolation; but
it stands in greater jeopardy from
improvements" In towns we are
likely to express more admiration for
a fine tree; and, il it interferes with
tancied convenience, destroy it more
ruthlessly Trees, particularly the elm
and the oak, are the glory of New Eng
land towns and even its small cities
Our larger cities are too sparsely
wooded and even those trees we
have are not rightly priced
The protest of the gentleman in Lynn
against the telling of an old elm which,
as he says, has sheltered him ever
since his eyes opened on this world, .
is more than sentiment It is enlight-
ened public spirit, and if the tree can
be shown not to be unsafe there is
no question but that his protest should
be Needed Every town Of any size
has, sooner or later, been obliged to
look on at the wanton destruction Of
trees which screened its ugliness with
beauty, simply because they did not
consort with the newest street commits
sioner's newest scheme of grading. Fine
trees are like good institutions they
must grow And cities show the same
senseless policy in dealing with them as
citizens, who, in building a house, first
chop down all the trees on the lot
then plant young trees and wait half
lifetime for them to grow
AT the town-planting conference in
London last autumn, it was noted
that the Improvement schemes Of the
future must proceed not from clean
slate the wiping away OF all old
landmarks and beginning afresh; but
must be planned so as to include those
landmarks and make them central orna-
ments of the design No landmarks
are more identifying or more venerable
than fine trees None so transmute

WALKING AS A MEDICINE.

1t is rather remarkable that the same
form of physical exercise should work
directly the opposite results on different
people, and yet it is proven frequently
that walking viii add weight to some
and remove weight from others. One
of the examples to come to notice is the
case of the Kansas couple who have
reached the national capital on their
walk of eight thousand miles, the man
starting with a weight Of only lo7
pounds, following illness, the woman
bravely setting forth with 1872
pounds of avoirdupois. After covering
more than half of the expedition, eat
ing like food and living under the same
conditions, the man finds himself weigh
ing forty pounds more than when he
started while the woman has greatly re,
duced her overweight; and both are
feeling in good physical condition and
both satisfied with the results thus far.
Great is walking Why don't more peo-
pie take it up as cure for their lesser
ailments? The reason why is because
it seems too much like work, whereas
it really becomes more or less of a
pleasure, certainly not an irksome task.
They do not need to walk eight thous-
and miles in order to regain their health
or fair measure of health A few
miles day, or even less than that until
their muscles become hardened to the
greater exertion, will bring them appe-
tite and better digestion. The under
weight will find that they tip the beams
at considerable gain, while the over
weight viii generally find the opposite
Walking is fine remedy.
