ENFORCE CAREY
act PROJECTS
MAKES NO DIFFERENCE IF TITLE
i5 STILL VESTED IN THE
UNITED STATES.

Carey act irrigation companies have
the power to enforce the terms Of
their water contracts with settlers.
even when the title to the Land is still
in the United States, and the United
States can not be made a party to the
suit.
This point is emphasized and made
clear in a decision handed down in the
state supreme court on Saturday in
the case Of the Idaho Irrigation COM
pany against DR.. Charles William Dill,
a settler on the project In volumin-
Gus opinion written by Justice Sulli-
van and concurred in by the other
members of the court, the right Of the
irrigation company 10 enforce the
terms of this contract with Dill is up
held
Incidentally Judge Carl A Davis,
sitting on the bench Of the Fourth jul
diciaI district when this case was
tried there, is reversed. He sustained
a demurrer holding that the United
States must be made a party to the
suit in that it still held the title to the
land The plaintiff was given ten days
in which TO amend its complaint in
this respect This the company re-
fused to do but took an appeal 10 the
supreme court instead.
It is held by the supreme court that
the basis of the action is a water con-
tract and that the United States has
nothing to do with this. 1t is held
that The United States Is not a party
OF necessary TO its action. since the
title in the United States can in no
wise be affected by the judgment and
decree Of foreclosure against the de-
fendant. Dill
The conclusion Of the supreme court
is that the judgment OF the trial court
must be reversed and the case re-
manded 10 the trial court with instruc-
tions TO cverrule the demurrer and
permit the defendant TO answer. The
costs Of the appeal are awarded 10 the
irrigation ompany.-Statesma

UNION PACIFIC SYSTEM
is TO BE IN CONTROL

All lettering on engines and cars
belonging to the Oregon Short Line
and the Oregon Washington railroad
& Navigation company viii be chang
ed according TO orders which viii be
issued in the near future, says the
Ogden Examiner. Union Pacific sys-
TEN" will be the letters on the engines
and cars Of these lines, with Q. 5. L.
and 0. ". r. & y. underneath. The
Union Pacific officials have practically
decided upon the change, and the new
cars in the course OF construction viii
bear this new lettering, it is said. The
change in lettering viii be done chief
IL to correct the impression that the
o. 5. L. and the O. ". r. & y. COM
pany are separate lines and not 4 part
of the Union Pacific which many peo-
pie have believed.
As forerunner Of the changing Of
the lettering upon the equipment, the
Union Pacific system has erected q
large sign on the Salt Lake freight
station which reads Union Pacific
System" The old sign on the front
elevation of the building read
Freight Station. Q. 5. l. r. r. and
S. p. l. A. & s. L. r. r." While
the equipment for the past few years
has borne the words property OF the
Union Pacific Equipment association
in addition to the name of the line
TO which it has been turned over by
the Union Pacific.
The steps toward having all of the
equipment OF the lines owned by the
Union Pacific system bear its name
is in line with the orders which have
been in effect for several years on the
PENNSYLVANIA and the New York Cen |
trail. All cars and engines bear the
words Pennsylvania lines and the
New York Central lines, and the sec
ton of the systems to which they are
assigned are lettered in small paint
ing either under the larger or letter
ing on some part of the tank. The
Santa Fe is the only western road
which has a number of other lines
which it owns or operates and the
cars and engines of the road all bear
the word Santa Fe-
It is thought that the new order for
the lettering of engines and cars
will be issued some time within four
months. The lettering on Salt Lake
Route engines and cars will not be
changed. as only so per cent of the
stock is owned by the Union Pacific.
Until some arrangements are made
for the taking over of the road by
the Union Pacific or w. A Clark and
his associates consent to the placing
Of the words Union Pacific system up
on the equipment there will not be
any change. All freight stations and
passenger stations on the Oregon
short Line and the Oregon Washing
ION Railroad & Navigation company's
ines are 10 be known-a as Union Paci- !
&c system stations and signs giving I
notice that the two roads are part OF ,
he Union Pacific system are being e
made at this time and will be erected I
n the near future. IL

TALKING ABOUT
RAISING FROGS
FISH AND GAME DEPARTM MENT
TURNING ATTENTION TO PRO-
PAGATlCN OF NEW SPECIES.

II the man who made two blades Of
grass grow where one grew before is
Of blessed memory. how much more
worthy is the fellow who starts abel-
lowing Cne million bull-frogs where
there was marry a frog until his ad-
vent? We shall soon see about that
proposition, for A A Harris, an agent
of the State Fish and Game depart
ment, has just planted the progenitors
of the million frogs in the waters of
this part of Idaho. There are five or
six hundred of them, mostly about the
size of the end of your finger, but
with legs out of all proportion in
frog of them all, a veritable Daddy
Long-Legs of the clan, which when
limbered out is about two feet long.
How far he could jump would hardly
be believed. Possibly he is the frog
celebrated in song, which could jump
from bank to bank on the Piangatank"
and not spread himself either
Harris put enough of his frogs in
Silva's lake, which adjoins Shoshone,
TO make plenty of music all next sum-
mer, whether we have a brass band
here or not Others were taken up
the river further. both in the Little
Wood and the Big Wood, and others
still were deposited where they will
do the most good in the Silver creek.
Each frog of the female species is
supposed to bring into the world sew
eral hundred thousand young song
sters every season.
Old timers here say bull frogs are
not native in these parts but they
think this kind of frog win adapt him
self to any cline where there is plen-
ty of water like we have. The Fish
and Game department has found bull
frogs harmless TO the game fish that
are being propagated and SO the frogs
have been turned loose to increase and
multiply. They are said to be val
liable as food and for people who
like that sort of food that sort OF food
is just what they Ike.
