MORE STRINGENT
REGULATIONS
Land Board Will Cancel Contract
With Irrigation Company
II Necessary.
(From Idaho Statesman)

" AOhA Au1hO 0CoOCOAhph(
Governor Haines has just issued
something much in the nature of an
ultimatum in relation to the Big
Lost River irrigation project. In a
letter addressed to James E. Clin-
ton, receiver for the Big Lost Ri
yer Irrigation Company, the governor,
speaking for the state board Of land
the state will wait no longer. II
the different litigants do not accept
the coming decisions of the circ ait
court of appeals as final, no matter
what the decision may be, the state
will proceed at once to cancel it's
contract with the company and take
steps to relieve the condition Of
the settlers ON the project.
Receiver Clinton is requested by
the Governor to notify all parties
In interest to this effect 10 that
they may know just waat to ex-
pect.
This letter from Governor Haines
Is the direct result of careful per-
sonal inspection of conditions on the
Big Lost river project made recent
ly by the members of the state land
board and Of much research and
study of the problem by Attorney
General Peterson and other state Of
ficials in trying to arrive at a SOL
ution that would be fair and just to
all.
1t is understood in official circles
that a decision by the circuit court
of appeals in this case is to be
handed down on Monday next. There
has been talk of appeal from this
decision to the supreme court of
the United States, but in view of the
position taken by Governor Haines
1t is reasonably certain that all such
plans will be abandoned. The govern
or's letter made public on Thursday
Is as follows:
November 5, 1918
]. L. Clinton, receiver, Big Lost
River Irrigation Co., Boise, Idaho.
Dear Sir: The members of the state
land board have heretofore believed
that they should await the decision
of the circuit court Of appeals in
the case of the Corey Brothers Con-
struction Company VS.. the Big Lost
River Irrigation Company before
taking any steps which would serve
to indicate the attitude of the state
in the settlement of this most i'm
portant question. The time consum-
ed in the settlement of the legal
questions involved has been much
greater than was anticipated, how
ever, and it must now be apparant
to all that further delays should
not be looked upon with favor from
any source.
The members of the present land
board accordingly hope that the ex-
pected decision will be accepted as

LESS DRINKING BY SOLDIERS
British Generals Agree That the Best
Fighting Is Done by Soldiers
Who are Abstainers.

The changes that a century has
wrought in respect to the use of strong
liquor were illustrated during the re.
cent meeting here of the Royal Army
Temperance association, which now
has 67,433 members, of whom 38, 405
are In the Indian army, says London
correspondent of the New York Sun.
According to the figures presented
there are now 1880 total abstainers
in the British army and 2,795 in the
temperance section. Earl Roberts said
great change had come over the NOR
tality of the army In India since the
days when it was the custom to pro-
vide every soldier with "a tot of ar
rack" every morning.
Earl Curzon recalled that in 1912,
when the peninsular war was in prog.
.ress, the duke of WeAington's force
was "a drinking If not a drunken
army" The idea then was that the
hard drinking man was the best fight
Ing man and there was a direct ratio
between whisky consumed and cour.
age displayed. The duke himself while
extolling the bravery Of his men de-
plored their drunkenness and social
vices.
Nowadays all recognize that the old
idea was ludicrous fallacy. Every
general who had commanded troops in
the last quarter of a century would
say that the best marching army and
the best fighting army was a sober
army.

U. S. TO IMPROVE SARDINES.
Establish Laboratory to Aid Business
Now In Deplorable Condition.


To re-establish the American sardine
industry and to improve the quality of
the American fish product, the depart
ment of agriculture has instituted a
special sardine laboratory at Eastport,
Me. This field experiment station,
which is in charge of DR.. T. G. Weber
of the animal physiological laboratory
Of the bureau of chemistry, will make
a thorough study of the fish caught in
the Maine sardine waters and the
methods of packing them employed by
the Maine Gamers.
American sardines of late, with few
exceptions, have been of inferior quail
ity and often packed when unfit for
packing or else so packed as to be a
very poor article of diet. The atten-
ton of the department was brought to
the situation very forcibly when it was
found necessary to order the seizure of
about 10000 cans of American sardines
in Pittsburgh, and 1000 cases, or near
ly 10000 quarter and half cans, in
Norfolk. The industry at present, the
American Gamers themselves admit, is
in a deplorable condition. What was
once a f1ourishing and money making
sea food industry has through destruc
tive competition been brought to a
stage where many canneries are no
longer packing, and where-those which
do pack are compelled to sell their
product at less than cost.
