the way IL celebrated made Railroad

sort of a racket making COntriyance

done a land office business. The din
was something fierce. but there was
very little rowdyism and the presence
OF the officers kept this in check.
The first event on the program was

immense crowd.
Splendid Drill by Troopers
Probably the most interesting at
traction last evening was the saber
drill by Troop H, of the Fifth United
states cavalry. The drill went off
without a hitch and the way the
troopers and horses performed was
nothing short of marvellous, the ami
mails displaying an unusual amount
OF intelligence and the men showing
the result of good training. The crowd
gave the troopers plenty of applause.
The Indian Dances.
Chief John Wetherill and his band
of Navajo bucks furnished good sport.
The Indians gave two dances around
fires built in the middle of the street
and it was with great difficulty that
the crowds could be kept back. so
anxious were they to see the show.
The Indians are, without doubt, the
best that have ever attended and TAX
en- part in a territorial fair. They per-
form and that without any wrangling
or delay.

COUNTY ACT IS Void

Idaho's legislature may create new
counties, but has not the power to abol.
ish old counties. lis the substance Of the
decision Of the supreme court Of Idaho
Monday afternoon in declaring that
the action Of the last Legislature in
creating the new counties Of Lewis and
Clark was unconstitutional and void.
The views Of the court were given
from the bench, the written opinion
not having yet been fled.
This means a complete victory for
Rathdrum, which had been making q
hard fight to retain the county seat Of
Kootenai county, which was abolished
by the act OF the legislature, the terri.
tory being taken to make the new
counties.
The court holds that although the
legislature may create new counties
from parts of old ones, it can not abol.
ish the old county nor deprive any
place of the county seat. In the state
of Idaho the county seat may be re-
moved only by vote Of the people,
and the court declares that the lcgisla-
ture can not do indirectly what it has
not the power to do directly.
