New Phase Of the Liquor LicenS.
Question.

DIFFERENCE OF OPINION AS TO WHO ARE IEGA ALLY
QUALIFIED TO SIGN APPILC ATOMS
Some OF the liquor dealers who have failed to
procure their licenses for want OF the requisite
number OF signatures to their applications have
employed lawyers to look after their interests.
These lawyers have hit upon the ingenious
thought OF advising their clients to colonize
Signers after the same plan sometimes used to
coonize voters In wards or precincts for the pur-
pose OF electfng favOrlte candidate. This point
was raised by some bona f1de hOusekeepers who
protested against the location of rum shops In
their neighborhOOd, and the question was referred
to the attorney for the District who in his opinion
resident where he works. eats and sleeps and is to
be counted as such under the license law"
The District Commissioners take issue with the
attorney In this, and have instructed the COM
mittee on licenses not to be governed by such a
principle. In communication from Dr. E. NJ
Chaplin, chairman of this board, to the Commits
s1Oners, yesterday, he says: "Referring to the
opinion or Hon. A. G. Riddle, attorney for the Dis
trict, under date of February /, 1882, copy of
dent, we do not see that it has application to the
signatures OF residents keeping house under the
license laws and therefore we beg leave to
ence to the attorney. To our regret we are
placed In the unpleasant attitude of being con-
fronted with al opinion upon one OF the piainest
and simplest features OF the license law in regard
to which our practice in opposite direction has
been uniform and without deviation in a single
case or the many hundreds which have been be-
fore u.s. and this the supposed interest OF a single
applicant for bar license.
1--WE say interest, for the reason that the con-
structon thus sought to be placed upon the law as
to what constitutes resident keeping house,
besides being at variance with the uniform prac-
tce OF the authorities In respect to the qualifca-
tons heretofore will, in our opinion should it now
prevail prove highly detrimental to the interests
ID whose behalf It is invoked; sitting, as it will in
bona t1de housekeeping residents in particular
localities, thus depriving the Law of one of its
most conservative features There will in all
probability be developed, as consequence,
an overwhelming public sentiment, resulting
In more stringent and unreasonable law than the
present That it changes radically the funda-
mental character OF the law there can be no doubt
and 1t Is our firm belief that 1t will eventuate in
corrupt system OF locating men at the times and
places whenever occasion may require 1t for the
purpose OF overcoming the bona fide housekeeping
residents In particular neighbOrhOOdS, contrary
to the original intention OF the law. So regarding
It, and feeling that we should stultIfy ourselves
Dy changing the principles of action which have
uniformly controlled us In all similar cases hereto
fore, We again disapprove the application OF John
Ready for bar license at No. 344 N street, West

THE ANALYSIS OF THE STOMACHS NOT YET MADE, AND
NO ARRESTS ORDERED.
There have been no arrests made In the Love-
Joy-keefe poisoning case SO far, as no definite
clue to the poisoner or poisOners has as yet been
developed. The stomachs OF the two victims had
not reached Prof. De Smidt up to ten o'clock to-
day. Both stOmachs showed irritation and con-
agent employed. The shock felt in the neighbor-
hood where the victims lived is very great, the
general impression prevailing that a terrible
crime has been perpetrated ny some one. The in
quest Will not probably take place until after the
results OF the analysis are known. As no one is
charged with the crime, and no particular person
is suspected, the police have been withdrawn
from the premises
1t is understood this afternoon that District At
tOrney Corkhill has directed that the Stomachs OF
the TWO poisoned women be sent TO the U.s. Med
1cal Museum for analysis.
There are indications this afternoon that the
police have information which they decline to give
out pointing to the guilty party, and that they
pect 10 secure the arrest OF the party in a short
time.

The Italian newspapers cannot con-
ceal their dislike of the English, and
let it crop out in the publishing Of
impossible rumors. Thus, a few DAYS
since the Opinione informed its read
ers, on the authority of the Corriere
del Mattino Of Naples, that one of the
English transports en- route to Egypt
carries reeinforcements to Sir Garnet
Wolseley in the form of 1000 blood
hounds, to hunt down the Egyptians,
and describes how the English Gen
eral will keep them half-staryed to
increase their ferocity in pursuit of
their prey.
The principal topic for conversation
at the French Geographical Congress,
now in session at Bordeaux is the pro-
posed construction of tho ship-canal
from B rdeaux to Toulouse and Mar
bonnie, by which waterway would be
gained from the Bay of Biscay to the
Mediterranean, thus securing great
saving of distance as compared with
the Gibraltar route. The length, as
far as Toulouse, is about 2.0 feet, and
the highest point 500 feet above tho
level of the sea. The projectors OF
the project contend that vineyards can
be established to advantage along the
waterway.

THE ROAD TO CANVAS PRAIRIE.
Will 1t be Practicable Wagon. Road, OF
Merely o Pack. Trail.

To THE EDITOR OF THE T1Mrs:-
l would wish to call your attention
to the construction Of the new wagon
road, now being constructed up Croy
gulch, and out through to connect
this place with Camas Prairie. You
may remember that, last year, there
was quite an amount Of money raised
here-somewhere from $500 to 5000
to build good wagon-road from
here to Willow creek. The result is
passable pack-trail-nothing more.
Now, | understand from citizens lust
in from there, that the money lately
contributed by citizens of this place is
being squandered the same way. e.,
the result of the labor being done will
be mere pack-trail. Settlers out
there, | hear, who would give from
&25 to 800 for good road, don't
feel like throwing away any time OH
this, as the grade they are making i,
entirely too steep for any practical
use. CITIZEN.

RE.LOCATTOyS.
Must they BE Worked the Same Year
that they arc Made'

To THE EDITOR OF THE Tines
Can you tell me where | can get a
copy Of the local laws of this Terrific
ry? Or, can you give me any infor-
nation with regard to locating claims?
DO re-locations have to be worked
the same year they are located? Or,
can they be worked the same as new
locations? And oblige, yours, re-
specially, A. J.G.
Galena, Idaho, Sept. 10, 1882.
4 copy Of the Territorial Statutes
can doubtless be obtained by address,
ing Hon. T. F. Singiser, Territorial
Secretary, Boise City. The Terrific
rial mining law was published in the
first issue of the WOOD RIVER TIMES,
in 1881, but we have only two copies
of that issue on hand, and these are
on the files, ready for binding.
Any claim upon which the claim
ants have failed to do the work neces-
sary to hold it, is open to relocation
(so-called) the same as if it had never
been located. In order to hold claim
so relocated, it is not requisite that
any work be done upon it during the
year following its relocation. For
instance: II claim were relocated
now, the re-locator would have unit,
the first Of January, 1884, to do the
first 500 worth of work upon it.
This is apt to lead to some abuse, IN
doubleday, but it is the law.
A. j. G. had better buy a copy Of
Cops Mining Laws. They give all
the information required on the sub.
ject of which they treat. H. Il. Burk.
hart 4 Co., Haley, probably have a
few copies on hand.

The Willard Railroad.


1t may be some satisfaction to know
that there is less talk and more work in
the building of the railroad from Una
tilla this way than by the Union Pa
cifc or rather, the Oregon Short Line
from the East. Mr.. Willard, who is
the manager of the Oregon and Wash
ington Territory roads, including the
Northern Pacific, seems to go straight
forward with his work, and knows the
ground he intends to cover. On this
road he has completed the work to
Pendleton, and has secured the right
of-way over the Blue Mountains for
the best and safest pass. He has pur-
chased the Foster or Meachom toll
road, so that no impeachment may be
in the way, and he has ample corps OF
men on all the heavy work, SO that he
can start in early another season to lay
the track. His survey extends through
Grand Ronde and the Pills canyon
pass and the Powder River
valley to Baker City, and
from Baker City down the Burnt river
canyon to Snake river. This location
was made long before the Oregon
Short Line undertook to locate 70 .te
up Burnt river canyon. Wizards men
are already at work grading in the
Burnt river canyon in considerable
force. His chief engineer was here
few days ago, and assured us that
their road will come to Boise City,
and had no disposition TO dodge the
town. The possibility of compro-
mise between the Oregon Short Line
and Willard is a very doubtful one,
and from the best evidence we can
gain, the Oregon Short Line is at sea
when they reach Snake River at King
hill, and know not where to 90. Vii
lard's road will suit US quite as well
as the Oregon Short Line, and it is
altogether probable that we shall see
the first railroad from the West. The
Oregon Short Line is evidently going
ahead slowly. A reliable gentleman
who came over the whole Of the line
of the road from American Falls this
way last week, says there is not to cx-
ceed ten miles Of track laid this side
Of the American Falls.
