been distasteful to US. Whenever
man reserts to calling his opponent
ugly names it is pretty sure evidence
that he is at sea in his argument and
docs not know wnat else to say.
A personal controversy was never
further from our mind when we com
mended, our cotemporary for the SEN
timent expressed in an editorial some
time ago ,and the sentiment which
we undertook to commend was that
the people should stand together for
the uplift of the community and the
men whc make up the community. By
some mysterious construction of the
English language, or our failure to be
cIeac, cur good brother took offense
and called us "Ransy Sniffles" and
Little Jack Horner," and brought up
other things which had absolutely
nothing to do with our commenda-
ton of the sentiment in that editorial.
We have not answered in kind and do
not intend to. We want to help create
a sentiment of cooperation in the
community. If it IS an exchange OF
courtesy, however, to print these ugly
things about oneself, then you will
have TO excuse US for not making the
exchange. Such things do not help
brethren to dwell together in unity.
But we started out to commend to
the thoughtful consideration of the
editor of the Observer the sentiment
contained in a little poem, written by
an editor out in Ohio who is now
about SO years old We sincerely hope
it will have a soothing effect upon the
mind and heart of the Observer edi-
tor, and we assure the editor of the
Observer that our feelings toward him
are of the kindliest. The little poem
is entitled Growing Old
Growing Old.
(The author of this poem, w. A.
Urquhart, is 88 years of age, and is
an active editor in Ohio now.)

NEW SUPPLY of BUILDING STONE

F. C. Timerding came down from
Victor, Idaho, the first of the week
on business connected with a stone
quarry which he is opening up, about
q mile from the railroad station at
Victor. This is in the eastern part of
Madison county, and close to the Wy

Jackson Hole. Victor is the termin-

PIONEER-RECORD CALLED DOW
Had Been Violating the Postal Regu-

Advertisement ON Ads.
rupert Pioneer-Record)

(Rupert Pioneer-Record) j.. ;.
For some time past the Pioneer
Record has been violating the post
al regulations, but fortunately the
publisher has been given chance to
reform without getting into Jail. The
law of August oath, 1912, requires
that all reading matter for which
pay is received or promised must be
labeled advertising. large num-
Der of publishers have interpreted
this to apply only to matter which did
not show upon it's face that it was ad-
vertising, but that view of the matter
is erroneous, and the little locals,
such as John Doe has a complete line
of rugs, must be followed or headed
by the word, advertisement, or a
proper abbreviation of the word.
When the law was first passed this
paper labeled everything in way of a
paid local appearing in its columns
and Immediately lost over half its
business in that line. But we are
forced to pocket this loss if any comes
in the future, and smile at it in order
to keep out of Jail and continue the
use of the mails for the distribution
of the paper. Publishers are also
forced to tell about their Indebtedness
every six months and to print the
statements without cost to the gov
ernment-something required of no
other institution except the banks,
and the benefits to the banks justifies
the expenditure. Bitter medicine but
the doctor says take it and we are try
ing to smile when we swallow it.

State Takes Over the Projects
About four years ago, the state

rigation development in the districts
already created. The lands were, at
that time privately owned, but were
held in two large tracts to be sue
cessfuly cultivated. The state has
now resumed over 100000 acres Of
this land, has subdivided it into hold
ings varying in size from two 10 20u
acres. has fixed the boundaries of
the different farms to CONFORM TO
the contours of the surface, so that
the land can be most economically
and easily irrigated, and is offering
this land to settlers on liberal terms.
These terms are fully explained in the
law, and in publications which are
forwarded herewith.
1.-THE subdivision of the land
and its settlement is bringing
about great changes i'm agricul-
ture. In the districts already set
tied there are about ten families
where there were one before, and
the value of production there
from has been multiplied I'm

There seems little doubt that state
control of such settlement results in
a better planning of irrigation works,
more economical distribution of water
and far more rapid development of
agriculture and horticulture than is
possible under unrelated schemes d.
rected by private enterprise.

HOW AUSTRALIA PUTS
WATER ON HER LAND.
Province of Victoria Takes Whole
Matter Out of Hands of Private
Companies.-PrOjects are COnduc-
ted by the State.

Some of the Australian provinces
are trying experiments in the solution
of irrigation problems that will be
watched with keen interest by many
officials and others in this country.
These experiments are of special In
terest to Idaho at this time and to
the commission recently appointed by
Governor Haines to figure out some
scheme for the improvement of the ir-
rigation securities situation.
In its canvass of the whole world
where irrigation is practiced this
commission wrote of course to the
leading officials Of Australia. AS re-
suit of this it has received a fund
of information that will prove of tre-
mendous value, based as 1t is on ex-
periments tried in the different prov
inces of that country.
On Tuesday communications were
eceived from the prime minister o.,
tne commonwealth Of Australia a.
,,mpanying reports and printed mat
ter from the various provinces. The
Idaho officials are deeply interested
in communication from w. A. Watt,
premier of Victoria. This idea is 80
new here, and yet apparently in line
with the trend of the times, that
much Importance is attached to it
by the Idaho commissioners.
What the Premier Says
Premier Watt says:
1.-THE Victoria irrigation laws make
all water state property, and require
any person diverting water to secure
a license, the maximum period Of
which is Is years. Riparian rights
have been abrogated, and on nearly
all streams the state retains a strip
of land AUDITING on each bank, from
one to three chains wide, which gives
it control over diversions, and mixes
1t the whole riparian proprietor.
Originally, irrigation schemes
were under the control of trusts,
organized in manner resembl-
ing that of districts under the
Wright and similar district acts
in the United States. These trusts
did not prove success from eth
er a financial or agricultural
standpoint, and the state has
now taken over their manage
ment and their indebtedness and

Masons Decide to Abandon Custom

Would Cause

MAY INSTALL TABLET
Bronze inscription May be Placed on

When II is Dedi.

There will be no corner stone lay
ing ceremonies for the new Masonic
temple. The corner stone could not
be gotten here in time to be install
ed without delaying the work of con-
structfon and the committee decided
to abandon the old custom.
1t is contemplated at the present
time that a bronze tablet will be
placed on the Blondeau street corner
In connection with the dedication
ceren. onles OF the new temple in lie
of corner stone.
S. B. Stahl was chairman of the
committee to secure a corner stone.
He wired for the stone and was ad.
vised that one could be shipped on
the following Monday. This was o.
KID by the committee but on Monday
1t was learned that the corner stone
could not be shipped until Saturday
of that week. BY the time 1t had been
carved and decorated 1t was figured
that a good two weeks would be lost,
and it was decided then to dispense
with the corner stone The commit
tee ordered the contractor not to wait
for this but to go ahead.
The contractor Is pushing the work
while the weather is mild The steel
for the roof arrived today and the
workmen will get the steel work up
as soon as possible. 1t is hoped to
have the new building under roof by
the first Of January, it was announced
this morning. II mild weather will
continue this hope probably will ma
terialize as the work has been pro-
crossing speedily within the last week

ming to show up under the brick ma
