WESTERN UNION CASE IN COURT

The Western Union Telegraph
company is resisting the payment
OF its taxes in Idaho and has sought
the federal court TO grant an in
junction to restrain the state off,
Gals and tax collectors OF the
several counties from selling its
property for taxes,
The question of the temporary
injunction will be presented 10

and will not be argued, this agree
ment having been reached by
counsel.
The state's case will be presented
fully when the litigation goes be
fore the court,
The states contention is thai
the, federal court has no jurisdic
ton for the reason that the amour
involved does not exceed the sun
of $4,000. The various amount
claimed by each county should b.
computed separately, the state con
tends, and under that process tn
sum of $4,000 would not be reache'
in any case.
The telegraph company, on tn
other hand, has added the sum
from each county, and thus bougf
the amount up to a figure whic
would give the federal court juris
diction.

OUTLINE OF A PLAN SHOWING
HOW PLOT SO BY 80 FEET
MAY PRODUCE MUCH.

For the benefit Of persons who de-
sire to have home gardens, ID. T. Fried
man. assistant superintendent of the
Garden club of Minneapolis has sketch
ed plan for plot 20 by 80 feet, the
usual size available in back yards
That a definite plan should be pre-
pared and followed by all gardeners is
Mr. Friedman's belief. The variety of
vegetables to be planted may be great
or small as the gardener desires, but
the plan should be put on paper and
then adhered TO.
For plot so by 80 feet Mr.. Fried
man suggests that strip IL by 80 feet
be marked off at one end and this
would be sufficient for sixty hills OF
sweet corn, squash and pumpkins. He
would have path 9 feet wide separ-
atlng this strip from the main garden
which leaves square of so feet for
beets, carrots. onions, peas. lettuce,
tomatoes, cucumbers, radlshes. beans.
In this square he has provided for
two rows of beets, sixteen inches dis
lance apart: two rows of peas. twenty
inches apart; two rows OF beans, TWEEN
" inches apart: one row of lettuce,
followed by two rows OF onions one of
seeds and one from sets, and row
