WANT FAIR PLAY.
To the Citizens of the Town of Strat
 ford.

To the Citizens of the Town of Strat-
 ford:
 A notice is given that there will be a public hearing Monday evening, April II, at o'clock. in the town hall in regard to the establishing of a building line of 900" more or less on the west side of Main street on the property of Olaf Christianson & Go.
 To show the unfairness of this proposition let us consider first the different widths of Main street. In front of the town hall 1t is about 11O'-O' wide. Near Barnum avenue it is about 12O'-0" wide. In front of Christianson & Co. property it is about 15O0" wide. And yet they are con sidering placing a building line of 2O'-O'' more or less. The width of Main street in front of Christianson &- Co. is three times the width of standard size street The distance [ from the street pavement to the prop erty line is 72'-0", the sidewalk is 27'-0". Chrisianson & Co., is per fectly willing to have the line straight ened out or let the old line stay, and they do not want anything that does not belong to them, but they do want a square deal.
 There is no question that Main street from the railroad to Be-num avenue will be used for business in a short time and why hiERar Christian son & CO. from making a beginning. i Another matter for the voters to con ! sider is that the property line on the i east side of Main sreet is within 37 fset of the stpeet pavement and yet 1 on the other side if the line is estab- ] nshed 1t will be 92'-0". Is that fair ? l Here is a concern that intends to spend at least $5o,oOO on improve
 ments and yet every hindrance pos 1 sible has been placed upon them.
 They intend to erect a moving pic
 ture house where the people of Strat-
 ford could ealoyz themselves giyins

 One of the first men to find Pri- vate Beardsley yesterday morning was Allen Wilson, another overseas man who has recently returned. Will son took BeardsIey in tow and the two boys soon found their way to the center and the handshaking and congratulations began. When BeardsIey was seen by Chief Judson of the fire department the old siren on the top of the engine house was set going and the town was inform ed that one of its heroes had re- turned safe and sound.
 And then the men began to gather, the old and the young were all in terested in this brave boy who had upheld the honor of old Stratfor d. 'Among those that soon were on hand to grasp the hand Of BeardsIey was Dr. George Lewis.

MILL
Office Building of Michigan Ida
no Lumber Company
Destroyed.

The office building of the Michigan
Idaho Lumber company, near that
company's mill, was entirely destroyed
by fire, together with its contents,
Friday morning soon after midnight
Measured in property value, the loss
is small, but as all the records and
books of the old Shaw company were
destroyed, the personal loss is COM
siderable and cannot be replaced.
The building destroyed was located
not far from the R. E. Shaw residence,
and about rs yards from the mill. 1t
was small frame structure. When
Mr.. Shaw arrived on the scene, after
being awakened by the alarm, the in
side of the building was a seething
mass of flames and it was impossible
to remove any of its contents. How
the fire originated is mystery. Be
sides the building and the books and
records, there were destroyed the Of
flee furniture and typewriter.

Mrs. Barton's Talk for Young People.
Last Sunday morning Mrs. Barton
made quiet, earnest, telling plea in
behalf of the young people receiving
the consideration from the church. She
covered mainly the same ground COW
cred so thoroughly by the speakers of
the preceding Sundays, but she en-
phasized some of the things in a most
telling way. One especially was urged
that the church furnish some place
where the young people could find
proper amusement under proper en-
vironments. She said we have no
right to blame the young people for
taking up with questionable things
when the christian people were un-
concerned about affording them plea
sures under questionable surround
ings. She urged the Importance of the
church furnishing reading rooms, rest
rooms, gymnasium and all advantages
possible for social life on plane of
high ideals. Hers was the final ad-
dress in the series given in the Christ
ian church on the subject 'How Can
the Church Better Serve the Commune

The programs, which have I'll; teer
we'll attended, have furnished wide
scope of characteristics from the ire
ly entertaining to the most educa-
tional, and judging from the contin-
uous good crowds attending all have
been equally well received.
The lecture last evening, by Mr..
Frank, of the editorial force of the
Century magazine, appeared un Ter he
disadvantage of being forced t, bat
tie swarms of mosquitoes, but despite
this he gave a wonderfully strong,
forceful portrayal of the restless and
unsettled conditions of the social and
economic world, holding his audience
at attention the entire time Such =
lecture could not fail to impress all
classes of society with it's fairness
and more such from men who are at
the center of things rather than in
the echoing circles of hearsay would
be beneficial to a country.
The lecture by G. Whitfield Ray on
South America was intensely interest
ing and startling in its perturbation
of that semi-civilized country, by
man who has spent almost Is years in
governmental exploration, traversing
that great continent on horseback
Each lecturer who has appeared
during this years session has brought
to US something worth while, even the
mirthful and original entertainment
of Tom Corwine was fraught with
good fellowship and lessons on the
joy of living.
The entertainers, too, have furnish !

thoroughly enjoyable numbers, and

DECISION IN DRAINAGE
CASE
Supreme Court Rules on Import
ant Questions Affecting
Drainage Districts.

The supreme court in an opinion
handed down Saturday, written by
Judge Alfred Bulge, upheld the actor
of the district court in confirming ths
report of the commissioners of drain
age district No. 2 of Canyon county
The numerous questions raised in this
case, and ably disposed of in the opin-
ion of the court, render it landmark
in drainage law of this state and ot
the west.
The supreme court held that the
boundaries of drainage district may
be modified or changed subsequent to
the hearing in the district court upon
the petition to organize the district.
The terms "high lands" and 'low
lands wer defined, and it was held
that service of notice upon the hus-
band was sufficient to give the court
jurisdiction over community porperty.
The provisions of the drainage act Civ
ing the drainage commissioners power
to exercise the right of eminent do
main, without resort to the proceed
ings outlined in the general statutes
relating to eminent domain, were up
held
The assessment and apportionment
OF benefits against high and low lands
was one of the more important ques-
tions raised in this case. On this
point, Judge Bulge said: Benefits to
low lands are to be determined in ac-
cordance with the enhanced value
thereof, while benefits to high lands
shoa4d be determined according to the
extent to which such lands are respon-
sible for damages to low lands through
seepage of irrigation water. After
determining the proportion of the cost
IF drainage works which should be
borne by the high lands, the remain
Ter should be apportioned and assess
I'd to the various tracts of low lands
according to benefits, based upon err
lanced value"
The case also decides that the DIS
rlct court may permit jury to cor
'ect its verdict, by affidavits showing
What they found and intended to re-
urn, even after the jurors have been
