DECIDES AGAINST
THE "WETS"
Supreme Court Says that Local Op-
tion Election in This County
was Legal.

Thursday of last week the supreme
court rendered an opinion in the
Bear Lake county local option case,
holding that where petition is filed
with the proper officer, it makes no
difference to its validity whether he
indorsed thereon his official charactet
as ''clerk" or s'auditor." The del
cision of the lower court by Judge
Bulge is affirmed.
| The petition calling for the local
option election was filed with w. r.
Holmes, clerk of the district cour
and ex-officio auditor and recorded
of Bear Lake county, July /, 1909
and indorsed by him as "clerk.
The local option law provided tina
the petition should be filed with tn

held both positions, the court hold
the filing regular.

new j. s. LAW WILL
Effect LIQUOR SHIPMENTS
All Packages Containing Liquor Must Bear the
Name Of the ConSignee and Nature of the
Contents and Quantity.

ashrngton, Dec. 3 Another
phase i'll the great campaign against
liquor will come to the fore the
first of next month, when the reVls-
ed penal code of the United States
is to become effective. Many of the
changes made in the penal law by
the sIxtleth congress were of minor
interest, but the section relating to
the shipment of intoxicating liquors
into ''dry" territory contained new
LEGISLATION, the results of which will
be to make the United States a fac
tor in prosecuting violators of the
act. In thickly settled communi-
ties the local authorities, as rule,
are able to deal effectively with Of
tenders, but in certain sections of
the south and west where settlement
is sparse, the task is not so easy,
and the members of congress from
those sections insisted that the fed
eral government should come to the
aid of the local authorities.
Three sections of the new codifica-
ton relate to the liquor traffic. The
most important provision is that OF
and after January every shipment
of Intoxicating liquor shall bear the
name of the consignee, the nature ot
the contents of the receptacle and
the quantity contained therein. ]

is believed that if the local author
tiles cooperate with the federal
government in the enforcement of
the law it will be comparatively
easy matter to suppress the "blind
tigers" 1t is pointed out that from
now on they cannot exsit without
violating the federal statute and the
assumption of the department of
justice is that would-be vlolators
will not care to take the chance of
falling into the clutches Of the fedcr-
al courts.
1t has been alleged from time to
time that IN some of the states
where the sale of Intoxicating liquor
has been prohibited in one way or
another the railroads and express
companies assisted the violators Of
the law by acting as buying or SELL
ing agents, or both. Congress, with
the idea of putting a stop to this
practice, provided as follows: ssAny
railroad company, express company
or other common carrier, or any
other person who, in connection
with the transportation Of any spirit
uous, vinous, matted, fermented, or
other Intoxicating liquor of any
kind, from one state, territory, ~
} District of the United States, into
any state, territory, or district OF
the United States, or from any for

LOCAL OPTION LAW
AGAIN IN SUPREME COURT
Case Appealed from Canyon County-Law is At
tackled on Many Points which are Alleged
to be Seriously Defective.

Attorneys Edwin Snow and Karl
Paine, representing the liquor inter
ests OF the state, have prepared
wholesale attack on the local option
la v, as indicated by their brief filed
in the supreme court in the case of
Thomas Gillcsby vs. the board of
clunty commissioners of Canyon
county, says the statesman. Six
points are made by the attorneys
for the plaintiff and it Is contended
each one of these renders the statute
unconstitutional. The case will be
heard by the supreme court between
exact date to be determined by agree
meut of counsel.
Material questions. some of them
which have already been considered
by the district courts, will for the
first time he presented to the su
preme court on appeal
The local option law is alleged to
be Invalid in that it is IN violation
Of the interstate commerce laws Of
the federal government In making 1t
a criminal offense to solicit orders
for liquor in a county which has
voted dry. As second point, il is
urged that the law provides that
manufacturers in dry counties can
sell for delivery in wet counties but
makes no similar provision for " hole
sale dealers who do not manufacture
This, it is alleged, is class legisla-

STORE ROOM
Nose Lewis Now Occupying His
CommodiouS New Quarters
A Credit to the Town.

In opening for business in his
elegant new store room laet Mond hy
morning, Nose Lewis certainly hAd
cause to feel proud of the progress
he had made, both from business
and financial standpoints, during
his residence in Montpelier.
Mr.. Lewis landed in Montpelier
10 years ago last August, at which
time be opened confectionery and
cigar store in little building which
stood on the corner, where the old
Oakley hall was afterwards built.
He conducted a successful business
there for several years, when he
sold out and went into partnership
with Sam Lewis IN the general
merchandise business At the eIIC
of two years he and Sam dissolved
partnership and Nose embarked il
the same line on his own hook, il
the old building which he has JUS
vacated. This building was at tha
n time considered quite pretentiou
affair for Montpelier aud Nose fel
as though he had taken a big ste

of registration begins and when it
ends and on what days during the
period registration shall take place.
That provisions for registration,
which must necessarily vary in each
county according to the time allow
ed by the county commissioners for
the election, is in violation of the
provision of the constitution, which
provides that the Legislature shall
not pass local or special laws with
reference to the conduct of elections
1t Is pointed out by counsel that
under the statute commissioners in
one county might call the election
to be held after 80 days and another
after so, giving the voters in one
county much longer period for
registration than in the other.

One of the most beautiful home
weddings ever solemnized in Adrian
took place at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. Hudelson, corner of Third
street and Huston avenue, Sunday
evening, September 10th, 1909, at 8
o'clock, when their daughter, Miss
Leah, became the wife Of David
Landlord. The contracting parties
are numbered among the best young
people of the community. The bride
is an Adrian girl by birth and raising.
She graduated from the Adrian High
School and taught in the school for
three years. She was prominent in
social and church circles. She is a
refined, cultured and amiable young
lady. The groom is young man of
excellent habits, an industrious and
prosperous farmer; an honorable and
highly respected citizen of Elkhart
township, where he was raised.

and Mrs. D. T. Clements died at their

Bates county land continues to be

were awarded each gave parade Of
his horses and premium stock on
Main street. This brought out the
very best class Of stock in the county
and was an attraction that would be
