shortest route between the east and
the coast, as we'll as between Salt
Lake City and the coast. Another
branch has been extended from En-
NETT, Idaho, to the Payette Lakes,
which lie north and east. Short
stretches of railway have also been
built in the Cache valley of Utah and
in Bear river valley of southern Ida
no and northern Utah. Probably the
most important single item, has been
the commencement of work on the
Snake Valley Belt line which is to
run out of Blackfoot, Idaho, to the
eastward of the main line and finally
swing back to the line at st. Anthony,
Idaho. Both in the immediate
freight returns and in the cost of
construction this item is one of the
most important in the railway bud
get for 1913 and 1914.
In addition there has been consid-
cradle work done in the Pocatello and
Kemmerer districts, and also in the
building of new stations, freight
houses and permanent equipment.
There has been a great amount of
interurban development. An entirely
new railroad, the Salt Lake and Utah,
running from Salt Lake City south
ward on the west side of the valley
to Provo, Utah some SO miles has
had the major portion of the con-
struction work completed this year
and trains will soon be operating
over it. The Salt Lake and Ogden
railroad running between Ogden and
Salt Lake City has made extensice
Improvement in double tracking and
improving it's terminal and other ia
cilities.
All of. this work has been COM
pleted by the demands of the growing
traffic that is offered to the railroads.
Each year, in spite of the improve
ments of the year previous, the
freight offered to the railroads by the
rich Intermountain Empire taxes
transportation facilities to the utmost,
and usually causes an actual conges-
ltion during the fall of the year, yet
we are already in possession of ia
cilities that would have been not only
ample, but largely idle, few years
ago.
During the year 1913 the mining
of the state of Utah alone paid nearly
$8,000,000 in dividends to their
stockholders. This is principally from
old developed properties, though
more new ones have been developed
than for some time past and the total
number of dividend paying mines is
larger than for some years. The
year has been marked not only by
the development of several new
mines, but by the building of extern

sive mills and other equipment on
properties already established. In
terest in mining shares, as in many
other enterprises of like character all
over the United States, has been
slight, though the actual work &C
complished during the year by the
COMPANIES is impressive.
A considerable advance has been
made in the development of agricul-
tural lands. In Willard county, Utah,
there are number of irrigation en-
terprises which have been brought to
higher state of perfection during
the year, and for whose further de-
velopment the Salt Lake Route has
promised to build spur from Delta
to the west.
The Kuhn properties in southern
Idaho have been very greatly adj
vanced during the year, with refer
ence not only to the engineering fea-
lures of the construction itself, but
with reference to the development
work that has been done by settlers
on their individual farms. Perhaps
in no part of the Intermountain En-
pire has the change in credit condi-
lions during the past two or three
years been so marked and so bene-
fetal as there.
1t is probably true that the princi-
pal changes along agricultural lines
have been made in those districts
which farm without irrigation. In Ell
ko county, Nevada, the last two or
three years have seen the develop
ment of considerable areas devoted to
the raising of hard wheat and the
shipment of this commodity from
eastern Nevada points has jump
ed from PRACTICAL nothing to
very respectable total. The lead
ing hard wheat district so far
is no doubt that which lies about
american Falls, Idaho. So short
time as three years ago it was
the expressed opinion of many
well Informed men that hard wheat
could not be well grown west of the
Falls. Yet today there are a great
many miles west of that point within
the view of the car window, which
have been changed from the gray of
the sage brush to the yellow of the
wheat field. American Falls is said
to stand today as the second wheat
shipping point in the United States,
whereas even five years ago 1t was a
negligible quantity. Tho wheat
grown is of the very highest grade
and the flour made from it has al
ready won absolute command of GER
tain markets.
The development of water power
during the past year has been SO
extensive that 1t can only be touched

upon here. 1t has concerned Utah
and southern Idaho principally, al
though some development has taken
place in Nevada as we'll. During the
year consolidation of practically all
the power companies in southern
Idaho and Utah has been perfected
and the potential power possibilities
of each individual plant are being
systematically and thoroughly devel-
oped. Development of our coal fields
is taking place along lines somewhat
similar.
OF course Salt Lake City has felt
very directly the benefit of all this
growth. Its building totals have
been somewhat enlarged of late ow-
ing to the commencement of construc-
tion of individual items of some size,
and 1t continues the pace which it
has held for some five or six years
at least in the matter of construction
OF apartment houses and dwellings.
The city has wonderfully changed its
aspect within that period and is rap
idly taking on the metropolitan ap-
pearance that its financial and COM
mercial Importance warrant. No
Kind of development is better indica-
tive of the growing strength of city
than the additions to its housing ia
'cilities. If city of 10000 must
spend 100000 a year to provide
homes for it's increasing population,
and If that work must be continued
without cessation through years that
have been marked as dull" when
there was not the slightest suspicion
OF a boom locally, it is very evident
that there must be in that city W.T.
atty worthy of admiration. Yet this
is the history of Salt Lake City.

Practice

Previous and long continued prac-
tice of the land department in regard
to a certain class of claims tends to
establish a rule of property with re-
;spect to such claims and should be
followed in the determination of
cases.
In the absence of protest of one
claiming title, the question as to the
real ownership of claim is one not
ordinarily inquired into by the land
department.
A contest or protest to defeat the
confirmatory effect of the provisions
of section of the act of March 3rd,
1891, must be proceeding sufficient,
in itself, to place the entryman on his
defense or to require Of him show
ing of material fact, when served
with notice thereof.
The rules of practice, relative to
the abatement of private contests not
diligently prosecuted, will be applied
to all proceedings against entries,
whether on the part of the govern
ment or of a private individual. The
case of Mertie Traganza Gao L. D.
5000 overruled.
While the title of land remains in
the United States and controversies
arise between occupants thereof.
whether agricultural or mining,
neither party having invoked the
jurisdiction of the land department
for the purpose of acquiring the ulti-
mate title. the courts have the power
to determine their rights, based upon
the law or possession and all other
questions necessarily involved. Case
of H. H. Yard ct al (38 l.. D. 59)
overruled.
1t is clearly within the contempla-
tion of rule 80 of practice, if not ex-
pressly required thereby, that testi-
mony in support of contest shall be
taken even when the contestee has
failed to appear at the hearing.
Under rules 1896, inclusive, it is
incumbent on local officers to see that
all pertinent facts with reference to
the case are elected at hearings had
before them.

WRIT OF HABEAS
CORPUS GRANTED
MCCONNELL CASE
(Arco Advertiser

In the case of the State of Idaho
VS.. Peter Mcconnell, who is being
held in the county Jail on charge of
murder in the first degree, that of
killing E. H. Williams at Clyde on
December 2, 1918, petition was filed
in the district court Monday morning
asking for writ of habeas corpus,
and the same was heard in chambers
by Judge Edward A. Walters and
granted.
The following is the substance of
the petition as filed by Chase Clark,
attorney for Mr.. Mcconnell:
That Peter Mcconnell is unlawfully
imprisoned; that the imprisonment is
illegal; that he did not have a pre-
liminary hearing as required by law;
that the evidence at the preliminary
hearing was not sufficient to show
that he had committed murder in the
first degree; several other charges
showing violation of the revised
codes were also cited.
Wherefore your petitioner prays
that a writ of habeas corpus be
granted directed to the said Aaron
Clements, commanding him to have
the body of Peter Mcconnell before
your honor at time and place there
in to be specified to do and receive
what shall then be considered by
your honor concerning him, together
with the time and cause of his deten-
ton and said writ, and that he may
be restored to his liberty
On reading and filing the petition
of Chase A. Clark. duly signed and
verified by him, whereby it appears
that Peter Mcconnell is Illegally i'm
prisoned and restrained from his lib
erty by Aaron Clements, at the county
jail, at HALEY, in the county of
Blaine, in the state of Idaho, and
stating wherein the illegality con-
sists, from which it appears to me
that a writ of habeas corpus ought
to be issued.
It is ordered that a writ of habaes
corpus issue out of and under the
seal of the district court of the fourth
judicial district of the state of Idaho,
in and for the county of Blaine, di-
rected to the said Aaron Clements,
commanding him to have the body of
the said Peter Mcconnell before me, in
the court room of the said court on
the 10th day of February, 1914, at
2 o'clock p. m. of that day to do and
receive what shall then and there
be considered concerning the said
Peter Mcconnell, together with the
time and cause of his detention, and
that he have then and there the said
writ.
Dated on the 9Th day of February,
1914.
EDWARD A. WALTERS,
Judge.
The writ of habeas corpus was is

THE MOTHERS CHARACTER
(Goodwin's Weekly

When Cortez completed his con-
quest of Mexico, he turned out his
cavalry horses. A part of them were
pure-bred Arabs-the officers horses
probably, the rest were heavier, but
superior stock of horses that had
been bred in one province of Spain
Andelusia, if we remember correctly
that had been a distinct breed for
a long time and bred principally at
first, to support the weight of knights
in heavy armor. There, through
hardships and in-breeding degrener-
ated into what is known as the mus
tang.
They still retain few of the worst
features of their sires. For instance,
the broncho inherited his bucking
propensity from thoroughbred ances-
tors. Ashland, a four-mile thorough
bred, when in training for a race,
had to have his bucking spell under
a broncho-buster, before the boy
could be safely put upon him for his
morning exercise.
Not only were the horses turned
out by Cortez, but good many of
his invincible soldiers were likewise
left in Mexico and other Spanards
soon followed them there.
What happened to the horses hap
pened to the men. Their descendants
become mustangs. The removal of
all restraints of society and inbreed-
ing with indians had natural result.
If blood mare and mustang mare
have colts from thoroughbred sire,
they are both liable to be strong,
healthy colts.
But if picked up from the range
when both are say three years old,
both half-starved and hungry, to the
Impractical eye, there is not much
difference between them. But put
them both where they will be fully
fed and groomed, and a month later
saddle them and one will make few
honest jumps because he feels fine,
but the other will do his level best
to kill the man who has befriended
him. Continue the treatment and the
mustang will be treacherous always
and if ever called upon for supreme
effort, he will funk before 600 yards
are covered. Indeed he Will break
down under the training needed to
bring out the full endurance of his
half-brother. On the other hand, the
blood colt will grow more and more
friendly until he becomes a compan-
ion, in peril he will listen to his mas
ter's voice and not get ratified, and
when called upon, he will not falter
even If the path leads up to the can
mons mouth.
The difference is, the mother of
the one had character, the mother
of the other had none.
Hence the average Mexicans cry
for liberty is really a cry for I'M
bridled license as against Is really
bridled license as against the Angelo
Saxon's cry for liberty subject to
righteous laws. Hence when we read
of President Wilson's desire to have
a constitutional government establish
ed under which the people of Mexico
may rule, it is to laugh.
