SURVEY ANSWERS ITS CRITICS.
PUBLISHES FIGURES SOON
AS POSSIBLE.

A leading trade journal in a recent
editorial commented upon the United
States geological surveys "enviable
reputation for accuracy and precise
ness throughout all its different
branches but added that in main
tanning this accuracy the survey had
Sin the past shown a tendency to ig-
more the necessity for promptness in
placing its vast store Of statistical
data before the public"
The obvious difficulty of giving to
the public statistical data that are ac-
curate and yet not somewhat out of
date has been met since 1910 by sup
plementing the complete detailed re-
ports with the publication in the first
week of January of preliminary esti-
mates of mineral production for the
year just ended. These new-year
statements have now attained de-
gree Of accuracy that not only meets
the practical needs OF most users of
this information but also robs the later
complete reports of their news value.

Not Illegal To Have Booze In Possession
Is the Decision of Two Judges AT Boise

and house bill No. 142, establishing
statewide prohibition and the eonsti-
tutional amendment are all in force to
some extent and are in measure
contradictory. The court held that
whenever prior legislation is incon-
sistent with the last legislation the
last law controls. This is house bill
No. 142, providing: The manufacture,
disposal and transportation of intoxi-
eating liquors for beverage purposes
are prohibited in the state Of Idaho
1.-The mere possession Is not pro-
hibited, nor the transporting, unless,
as provided in the law, 1t is transport
ed for beverage purposes.
Another Report.
Reporting the same decision the
Capital News gives the following YER
sion:
Attorneys and leaders of the wet
and dry forces in Boise were much in
terested in the decision rendered yes
terday by Judges Mccarthy and Davis
Of the district court on Che first liquor
cases to be tested in that tribunal
I'm passing on a demurrer that dis
posed of the informations adversely,
both judges held that any information
charging transportation of liquor as
an offense against the prohibition law
must state that the Siquor was for
beverage purposes.
at is pointed out by several attor-
neys that it follows that successful
prosecution is not possible unless 1t
shall be clearly proved that the liquor
was for beverage purposes, hence the
decision in effect disposed of the
court is concerned excepting in those
cases where the prosecution carried
to the court and jury convincingly the
burden of proof as to beverage pur-
poses.
As to Possession.
while the question of possession
was not directly passed on both the
Judges stated that they entertained
grave doubt that mere possession con-
stftuted violation of the statewide pro-
hibition law.
"The cases may be renewed under
amended informations, but whether OF
not that shall be done, similar cases,
it is expected, will be presented and
the district courts ruling on trans
portation and the ruling that 1t fore
casted on possession will no doubt be
taken to the supreme court"

A decision of absorbing interest 10
the people Of Idaho was rendered In
Boise the other day in which the new
statewide prohibition law was con-
strued. The following report OF the
decision is taken from the Statesman:
THAT possession of liquor is not
prohibited under the statewide pronl-
bition law, nor it's transportation, I'M
less II is shown that 1t was transport
ed for use as beverage, was In SUD-
stance the ruling of Judge Carl A.
Davis and Charles p Mccarthy sat
urday morning in the district court In
sustaining the demurrers to three IN
formations charging the transporta :
ton of Intoxicating liquors through
dry territory. The prosecuting attor-
ney was granted 10 days In which to
file amended informations and the or
der setting the cases for trial was va
Gated.
"The cases in which the demurrers
were sustained were against K. j.
StilIwell, known as T. C. Hall, and
Evelyn Ferguson, known as Jennie
Smith; Vincente Balboa and r. b
Howard, before Judge Mccarthy, and
the case of W. r. McKeeth before
Judge Davis.
Defense Makes Objection.
"The informations charged the de-
PENDANTS with transporting intoxicat-
ing liquor through Ada county and
with having liquor in their possession
In urging their demurrers, counsel for
the defendants contended that more
than one offense was charged in the
informations. in that they attempted
to charge the crime of transporting
liquors and also the crime of illegal
possession of same when the informa-
ton showed that the same act or COM
mission constituted both offenses.
ut was argued that the statewide
prohibition law did not provide any
penalty for transporting or having
liquor in possession unless 1t was
shown to be transported for beverage
purposes, and the court sustained this
contention.
1T was held that the statewide law
made Ada county dry and its provi.
slons governed except where some
prior law is not inconsistent with The
statewide law and remained in force.

in days of excessive prosperity, says
the Mining and Scientific Press. The
wages, supplies and machinery have
risen from 80 to 200 per cent OF the

one-third. 1t is acknowledged that

Estimates Are Close.


gold output of Alaska for 1915, pub
lished January 1, 1915, was less than
10 per cent in excess of the final fig
ures made public about four months
later, and Alaska's exceptionally large
Weld of copper was estimated within
per cent. For the last two years the
preliminary estimates of the coal out
put of the United States were only
four tenths of per cent and 26 per
cent in error; for the more erratic Pc
troleum industry the estimates of the
marketed output published January l
have been within one-half of 1 per
cent and per cent of the final figures,
the preliminary estimates of cement
were within three tenths of / per cent
and -tenths of l per cent of the
actual output The survey geologist
who made an estimate of the output
of iron ore for 1914, in statement is
sued January /, 1915, "approximated'
the final figures with an error of only
2s9 tons, and his preliminary figures
for the output in 1915, published jan
uary /. 1916 were within nine-tenths
of per cent of the complete final fig
ures.
Cause of Delay.
1t is, of course, through the collec-
ton of detailed statistics from indi-
vidual producers that the specialist is
able to keep so closely in touch with
his subject that his preliminary esti-
mates have high value for approxim-
ate accuracy. Some advances have
been made in the date of publication
of the final statistical reports but here
the compiler encounters the difficulty
of obtaining full and prompt cooper
alton from very small minority OF
the producers, so that 1t is the last !
or 2 per cent of the returns that cost
the most time and effort. A gain OF
weeks in the date of publication of the
statistics of some products might be
made, but only at sacrifice in the
quality of the results. The standard
of accuracy maintained by the man of
scientific training shows itself in his
aversion to round figures. The sur
vey will continue to seek improve
ment in the promptness of issue of the
final reports. but the public need for
authoritative mineral statistics pos
sessing full news value will be met by
estimates published January 1, and at
other times in the year. The surveys
new year and mid-year statements
have already won a place in the pub
lie press becaues they furnish the
business interests with Impartial es-
Inmates of the rate of production of
the raw materials and fuels that are
so essential to the nations industry
and commerce.

Big Item in Preparedness as Ap-

Silos are effective Notifications

Larsen of the South Dakota state col

-Four silos are standing in one row
on the north end Of the state college

said. From a distance those silos and
barn appear like one of those ancient
castles with it's towers and forts that
we see over in the old country In
these days when there IS so much war
and preparedness talk in the air, there
is sorle excuse for applying it to silos
and dairy barns.
"A big item in preparedness as ap-
piled to a live stock farm is to have a

when money is appropriated for pre-
paredness. Why should not every
farmer make an appropriation for pre-

Dickens Poor Taste in Dress.

When Charles Dickens was to make
his first appearance in America as a
reader an immense crowd awaited him
at a public hall in Boston. The en-
thusiasm of the people had risen to
fever heat One of his most ardent
admirers afterward told this little in
cident of the evening:
With few gentlemen, who wished
to welcome him and to show him at
tention, | was in the little room back
of the platform when Dickens entered
it. He was a rather stout man, with a
somewhat red face, and | saw, to my
surprise, that he was dressed in an
exaggerated servility to the extreme
of fashion More than this, he wore a
boutonniere in each buttonhOle, and
two watches, the chains of which were
strung agressiEely across his chest.
There was a gaudy bad taste in his
appearance which his friends regret
ted. knowing how distasteful it would
be to his admirers. who appreciated
his genius and enjoyed his writings.

up to Oxford to take his master of
arts degree, and the following Sunday
appeared in the pulpit resplendent in
his new master of arts hood. A few
nights later he was dining in the house
of a prominent parishioner, and was
amazed to hear his hostess pleasantly
remark:
Mr. X, that new hood of yours
doesn't suit you at all. l can't imag-
inc why you, with your complexion
chose red of all coIors in the world.
A myrtle green or an old gold would

would have been far more effective.

RAVES Ag0uT OUR GARDENS
Writer says They Are So Ravishing,
So. sunIit, Astounding in Fresh
ness and Beauty.

II cant say enough in praise of the
American gardens. | think l should
rave about them if | ever let myself
go" exclaimed Miss Carlisle. They
are ravishing-so sunlit, abounding in
freshness and beauty Do you realize
that they are so brilliant that | can
never show paintings of American gar
dens in the same room with English
gardens. because they make them look
quite dreary? Their one fault is that
there is often too much statuary in
them. and too much of it irrelevant.
Frequently, too, they are not rambly
enough. and seem a little self-con-
scious. In English gardens small
stones mellow with years are used,
and the furnishings add that warmth
which breeds intimacy. 1t is the in
formal garden that attracts the artist,
In England these abound, with their
winding paths passing through uneven
hedges OF many varieties of flowers.
That uneven hedge, flashing forth
vivid colors, one seldom sees in Amer
ica. probably because of the fluctuat-
ing climate and the vogue of more
formal arrangement. Ethel R. Pey-
ser. in Countryside Magazine.
