Boise, Feb. 10-The Macbeth
liquor bill recommended for passage
by the senate committee of the
whole, prohibiting any wholesale
hquor firm controlling more than
one retail liquor license and having
any connection in any way with
more, it is believed, will reform the
liquor traffic in Idaho If it becomes
operative, doing away with saloon
dives, as It's author claims it has
done in Nebraska and Mlssour,
where an identical law ia IN effect.
The bill will pass the senate and il
is believed 1t will be acceptable il
the house.
If local option law is passed i
will be effective only in counties
where ii is accepted, while in thos,

a check on all bad features of III,

The Oregon Short Line is furnish
ing Professor French and his as
sistants two cars for use in holding
farmers institutes along its line iR
Idaho. This is the first work of
the kind taken up by the railroad In
southern Idaho. A similar trip was
made by the experiment station
staff oyer the Northern Pacific In
northern Idaho last summer. While
this cooperation on the part of the
railroad is quite new in the west, it
has been carried on In the east for
several years, aud has proven very
successful in carrying information
regarding improved methods of
agriculture to the people who were
directly engaged in this industry
The cars used for this purpose IN
southern Idaho will be equipped with
demonstration material such as dairy
apparatus, including milking
machine in operation, spraying ap-
paratus for fruit trees, exhibits oi
grains and grasses and other agri
cultural products and charts &c

Boise, Feb. l1-Both coustitu-
tional amendments understood to
have been adopted by the electors
of the state last November are held
to be of no force or effect in an
opinion handed down by the
supreme court yesterday. One
amendment provided for the aboli-
'tion of probate courts and the re-
distrlcting of the state for judicial
purposes. The other authorized
the employment of clerical assist
anee to county assessors by board
of commissioners. The action of
the court will affect large number
of proposed appeals to the supreme
court, on the ground that The dis
trict judges who tried the cases had
been removed by virtue of the court
amendment. The test case was
precipitated by the refusal of form
er Governor Gooding TO call a
special election for the purpose OF
electing district judges to fill
vacancies created by the adoption
of the amendment. He acted upon
the advice of the attorney general
that the amendment had not beer
properly submitted to the electors

AMENDMENTS OF NO
FORCE OR Effect
So Says the Supreme Court in Decision
Rendered Wednesday--Were not
Properly Submitted to Electors.

and could therefore be of no force
or effect. Edwin McBee of Koot-
enai county, filed an application for
writ of mandate to compel Gov
ernor Brady to call special elec-
tion and it was upon this applica-
tion that the coui passed.
The court amend ment is held in
valid for several reasons, but
especially on the ground that the
question submitted to the electors
involved more than one amendment
to the constitution, each of which
should have been voted upon
separately.
The amendment providing cleri-
cal assistanc. was found to be in
conflict with the court amendment
and where there is such and passing
upon it the opinion says: s'Where
a section of the constitution is
amended at the same time by two
different amendments and the
amendments adopted are directly in
conflict aud 1T is impossible to de-
termine which should stand as a
part ofthe constitution, or to recon-
cile the same, they both must fail. "

Lake Superior.

Bic modern vessels are as helpless
as older and smaller crafts when
GREAT gales lash her waters. As long
ago aS 1882, vessel men declared that
ships were getting so large on the
Great Lakes that their chances Of
losses or serious disaster were remote.
But the big and little, ancient "hook-
ers" and the finest and largest of the
modern leviathans all look alike to
the cold, beautiful rock and forest
brimmed inland sea.
It is slow to anger, but its fury
at times is irresistible. The salt wa
ter sailor who makes his first trip
on Lake Superior in calm weather IS
prone to sneer. at its dangers, but
once he has ridden out a northwest
ern gale and witnessed and felt the
great shouldering seas, which carry
the twisting motion Of the ocean, he
is silenced. Lake Superior is now
called the ''port Of missing men"
with Whitefsh Point as "the grave
yard of the lakes.''
The Adella Shores is the latest VIC
tim Of the greatest Of the Great
Lakes. She vanished from the surface
with a crew Of Is men. That is all
that is known and perhaps all that
will be known. The other day pad
die bearing an inscription "Adella
Shores,'' was washed ashore
at Whitefsh Point, indicating that
the ship and its crew are some dis
tance from that point, but further
than that the mystery Of the dlsas-
ter is locked in the icy breast of the
mighty lake. A sailor lashed to a
plank or to a spar may drift ashore,
but no man expects that the incidents
surrounding the laundering Of the
craft will ever come to light.
There is something exceedingly
tragic in the loss Of any ship in any
circumstances, but when one goes
down with all hands on board and
