VETS APPEAL TO
DISTRICT COURT

New interest was injected into the
local option campaign in Canyon county
Wednesday when an appeal was filed in
the clerks office asking that the coun-
ty commissioners be restrained from
calling an election on August % un-
der the local option law. The docu-
ment was signed by Thomas Giles
pie, farmer living about three miles
north of Nampa. He recites among
other things that he is greatly ag-
grived by reason Of the commits
sioners' order for the election, and
gives as his reason for asking that
the election be withheld THAT the
act embraces more than one subject
and matters properly connected there
with.
"That it fails to provide time for
the opening of the registration
books and fails to discriminate and
specify any day or days on which the
registrars shall be at their offices to
register voters, or the places at which
application for registration may be
made.
"That the act does not indicate to
registrars when registration shall
close.
"That it fails to provide the pro-
cedure for registration of voters or
for holding and conducting an cleo
ton.
THAT said act is indefinite and un-
certain and incomplete.
"That said act is otherwise SO de-
fective as to render it void"
The local option forces are not
greatly alarmed regarding the filing
of the appeal as Judge Bryan is out
of the state and the election will
take place two weeks from Wednes-
day.

LOCAL OPTION Law
is CONSTITUTIONAL

Judge Fremont Wood of the Third
Judicial District has passed upon the
validity of the local option law, after
considering the issues raised by an
appeal from the order of the Board
OF County Commissioners of Ada
County fixing the date for the local
option election. In his decision Judge
Wood says:
Il am clearly of the opinion that
the decision in Knight VS.. Trigg does
not control and in fact furnishes lit
tie if any light upon this question. In
Knight VS.. Trigg, the supreme court
had before it for consideration a
statute that was fatally defective, up
on several vital and essential points
where the act here involved is per-
feet and complete.
"My conclusion is that the act in
question is not so defective, if defec-
tive at all, as to violate any of the
provisions of the constitution or to
prevent its execution by fair and
reasonable judicial construction. The
supreme court, however, may conclude
otherwise. If SO, the appellant here
will be injured only to the extent of
his proportionate share of the taxes
of the county required to meet the
expense of registration and election
held hereunder"
His Interpretation of the statute
is that the general election laws Of
the state can be applied in affording
the necessary machinery for a local
option election where no special pro-
vision is made; books for registra-
ton open simultaneously with the is
suance of the call by the board of
county commissioners; Saturdays are
the days when the registrars must be
in their Offices and registration must
end on the Saturday last preceding
the date of election.

thomas RUSSELL
Died IN NEVADA

Thomas Russell, better known to
the old settlers of this section by the
nickname of thinker" died at the
mining campo of Phoebe, New, yes
terday. His remains will be brought
to this city for burial, but the time of
its arrival cannot be given at this
time, owing to poor railroad connec-
tions.
News of the serious condition of
Mr.. Russell reached Emmett Satur-
day, and his son and namesake, Tom
Russell, Jr., left at once for Phoebe,
and he reached his fathers bedside
before his fathr's death. Another
son, John, was also there. The rest
of his family except Frank, who is
employed in a surveyors camp in
Utah, are in Emmett.
The deceased was a native of Ire
land and was Sc years of age. His
parents immigrated to New Jersey
when he was a small boy. In 1875
he went to New York and enlisted
in Co. B., 14th Infantry of the reg
ular army and was sent to Salt Lake
the following year to take part in
the Indian campaign. One of his
comrades was Micky Morton. His
regiment was under the command of
General Crook and participated in
the campaign in which General Gus
ter and his command were massacred
on the Little Big Horn. Both he and
Micky Morton were among the squad
that buried Custer and his company
after the battle, He also participated
in the battle of Slim Buttes, at which
time his regiment lived on horseflesh
for 40 days.
After this war, he returned to
Utah and at Beaver he and his pres
ent widow were married. In 1880,
the Russells and Mortons moved to
Idaho, and July Gath of that year
made camp in the Payette valley near
Seven Mile Slough. They took up
claims adjoining each other half a
mile southwest of town, and in COM
pany with a number of other settlers
built the Emmett ditch to water their
lands. With the exception of the
Wardell ditch which provided water
for the sawmill, this was the first
irrigation project completed in the
valley. Mr.. Russell was a timer by
trade and while improving his home
stead, made tinware and stove pipe
for the settlers. Later he opened a
shop and up to a few years ago had
worked at the business almost con-
tinuously since coming here. He was
a prominent factor in the early his
tory of the country, and a very pop
ular man. He was big hearted and
generous and a man of good impulses,
and in spite of his faults of later
years, the news Of his death will
bring sadness to many a heart.

BORAH RETURNED
Home This WEEK

Senator W. E. Borah has returned
from Washington and will remain in
Idaho until November. In an inter-
view given the Statesman Thursday,
Senator Borah says:
1T is my intention" said Senator
Borah, to make a personal and
close inquiry into sertain statements
that have come to me respecting the
forestry matter and the reclamation
undertakings. l have received num-
erous letters and petitions bearing
on various phases of administration,
of law and of physical conditions.
propose, now have the time, to get
at the facts so far as the Idaho gov
eminent enterprises are concerned,
first hand.
One of the principal causes of COM
plant respecting the forest reserves is
that they embrace agricultural land
that is by it's inclusion in effect re-
moved from all possibility of cultiva-
ton. intend to specially inquire in
to that subject.
Il am a supporter of the policy of
forestry protection and of conserva-
ton, but am not in favor of unneces-
sarily tying up any large tracts of con-
fessedly agricultural land in forest re-
serves, and there is a growing senti-
ment in Washington that such lands
should be eliminated from the reserva-
tons.
Il do not, however, favor the elm
nation of small and isolated tracts Of
agricultural land within the heart Of
forest reserves. Such course would,
in my judgment, destroy the integrity
of the reserve and make proper adj
ministraton impossible Where 1t. is
shown, though, that there are cousid-
cradle tracts now included within for
est reserves that are susceptible to
cultivation and that can be opened to
entry without overthrowing the entir-
ETY. of the reserve or seriously compH-
eating its management, shall favor
their elimination, and l believe a law
can be put through opening them TO
settlement.
Il shall also make an investigation
into certain statements that have como
to me relative to the Payette-Boise
and Minidoka reclamation projects. l
feel justified in stating that If condi-
tons are as represented to me the law
can be so amended at thu next session
of congress as to cure any defects.
II shall be very glad to receive In
diViduals or COMMITTEES interested in
these matters, and especially those
who have been in correspondence with
me. But I shall be glad to have calls
from all who have any information to
impart or any suggestions to make. 1
shall be here in Boise for the greater
part of the time until November and
shall be pleased to go over these or
any other matters with any of my con-
stituents either by appointment or in
formally"

The last will and testament Of
James L. Yost, deceased, was filed for
probate in the probate court of Can
yon county Thursday. The deceased
was resident of Ada county and all
the property of the estate, amounting
to over $4,000, was in Ada county. Yet
by reason of Probate Judge Jonas
Brown having been a witness to the
will and afterwards appointed to the
office of probate judge, he is incapaci-
tated from probaing the will. This is
doubtless the first case of this kind
to occur In the state.

School and College each year for sew
en- years. In speaking of the Uni
versity he said: "The State Univer-
sity is in an excellent condition in
every respect, and its future seems
most promising. We had 543 stu
dents last year and exactly so teach
ers. Next year we shall have over
700 students and about go instructors.
Our fine new building is finished and

agricultural students, and in addition
other students took special courses in
the Agricultural Department. Next
year the number of our agricultural
students will be greatly increased.
The faculty of the Agricultural Col
lege has been strengthened and it is

the recent strengthening Of this i'm
portant part of the University.
