derstand the reason why the Major has been
nominated both for County Prosecuting Attur-

of the Idaho Legislature the Office of COUNTY

to abolish this Territorial law. In case Con
gress does annul that Territorial law. the
former law creating the office of District AT.

force. Accordingly, to provide for that con.
'ingency alone, and not from any desire or de-
