Water Company
Must Pay Fees.
Supreme Court Afrms Decision Of
Judge Walters in Recording
Fee Case.

The supreme court on Tuesday
handed down a decision affirming
the judgment of the district court
of Lincoln county against the North
Side Land q Water Co. in which
the county sought to collect 81 900
from the water company for record
ing fees.
In 1908 the commissioners entered
into contract with the company to
record water contracts at a reduced
fee providing the company would
furnish printed books expressly for
the purpose. Exceptions were ta-
ken by number Of the citizens OF
the county as to the validity Of this
contract, and the question was made
an issue in the political campaign OF
1910, and Jas. r. Boutwell, was
nominated for county attorney on
the democrat ticket, and he made
successful campaign upon this Is
sue, pledging if elected, to bring
suit against the company for the
amount alleged to be due under the
regular charge for recording.
Soon after the election Il suit wa
instituted and a judgment obtained
against the company.
The supreme court in its opinion
states that neither the commission
ers or the recorder had any POKE
or authority TO enter into any sucl
contract. and accordingly affirmed
the decision Of the lower court.
Attorney Boutwell, has reason t
, feel elated over the final disposition
of the suit, as a similar case agains

Some Dairy Barn Requirements.

Next to our homes, the apart
ments of the dairy cows should be
exemplary of cleanliness and health
fulness. In cleanliness the dairy
stable should be az nearly as may
be the equity of the house wife :
kitchen. Both are laboratories in
which human food is prepared.
Much of the food prepared IN the
kitchen is cooked and thereby steri-
lized, while the food prepared in
the dairy stable is consumed largely
in an uncooked state and the dirt
and filth that has gotten into II
from the surroundings remains un-
sterilized.
Few mothers would boil potatoes
for themselves in the stable where
the:milk for their children is drawn
from the COWS, yet the potatoes
would not be contaminated in the
least
In healthfulness the dairy barn
should, as nearly rs may he, be the
equal of our homes, for are not our
dairy COWS the feeders of many OF
our babies and all our children?
In order to secure this high order
of cleanliness and healthfulness, the
dairy barn must conform to certain
general specifications. The tioor'
stalls, managers, cutters, should be
concrete or of an equally sanitary
substance. Concrete may be washed
and disinfected, rendering it clear
and free from disease producing or
ganisms. The inside walls shoulc

COUNTRY ROADS,

a most timely article is the fol-
lowing which we take from the
HALEY News-Miner:
With the approach Of spring it is
time to begin to think and plan for
II year OF work for better roads
about the country districts.
While great progress has been
made in the direction Of street i'm
provement and in main arteries of
highway travel from town to town,
the general improvement Of country
roads proceeds at very slow rate.
One great reason therefor is the
temporary character Of 50 much Of
the work. The road officials are too
anxious to make Il record that seems
economical for the time being. 1t

IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
A Boise Publishing House Gets a Dose
of its Own Medicine.

Asameans Of determining whether
or not the statute which says that
county printing shall be done with
in the state, wherever possible, is a
dead letter, suit has been filed by
the Syms Yorke company, of Boise,
against the county commissioners Of
the new county Of Minidoka
The complaint recites that upon
the creation of the new county by
the twelfth session Of the Idaho
legislature the commissioners asked
for bids for the printing of certain
necessary record books, and upon
opening these, awarded the contract
to George d. Bernard and company
of St. Louis, the lowest bidders by
sG7.75. The Syms Yorke bid Of
$500. 80 being the next lowest.
Considerable interest is manifested
in the outcome Of the suit, as it is
desired by the printing houses OF
the state to see that the law in the
case is either lived up to or wiped
off the statute books entirely. II
we mistake not this same law de-
clares that all county printing shal
he done in the county wherein it Il
used if the same can be done there
However this same firm has it
solicitors out at all times demanding
printing from the various count,
officers, that can be done just a
well and Just a. cheaply in the vari
ous counties. We suppose the.
considered this a matter of buSlncs
but when firm outside Of the stat

, merit in it, let il he enforced by tn

exert its purifying and disinfecting
powers. Six square feet of glass
per animal or one square foot of
glass for fifteen square feet Of floor
space are usually provided. Ordinar-
lily the lighting is more efficient
from east and west windows than
north and south.
Adequate ventilation should be
provided for. An air flow Of about
35, 900 cubic feet per hour per ami
nal should be maintained that the
air of the stable may he pure and
healthful. To secure this large
flow Of air and yet keep the stables
reasonably warm Is problem.
The King system with properly de-
signed out-take and intake hues, Is
is at present the most practicl system
employed.
In short, the dairy barn should
be well ventilated, lighted with an
abundance of direct sunshine and
constructed on as sanitary lines a
may be that our milk supply may
be clean and free from disease
germs as possible.

According to a recent decision OF
the state supreme court, county
commissioners have no authority to
rofund taxes unless they have been SO
excessive as to show that a gross
mistake has been made, and that
,he courts have no original jurisdic-
,;on in such cases. The court holds
that the legislature has given the
county commissioners, sitting ms q
hoard of equalization, the power t'
assess and equalize taxes, and tha'
the taxpayers of the county shoul(
appeal to the board for relief a"'
not to the state courts.
