Are Outside Applications Valid?
An interesting legal question has
arisen with relation to the validity
OF applications sworn to before mo-
taries outside Of the corporate limits
Of the city Of Occur d'Alene. The
proclamation Of the president throw
ing the reservation open to settle
ment says that the applications for
lands in the Occur d,Alene Indian
reservation must be sworn to In
Occur d'Alene, and then specifically
designates the cities In which appli.
cations may be sworn to for lands in
the Flathead and Spokane reserva-
tons. 1t now develops that the
tract of ground from the Coney Isl.
and on the one side OF Sherman and
the Lakeview on the other are not
within the corporate limits OF tia
city Of Occur d'Alene, and it Is con-
tended by some that applications
sworn to by notaries having offices
on the tract are Illegal 1t Is the
contention Of these that II an appli-
cation can be taken on land that is
not within the corporate limits OF
Occur d'Alene that II can be taken
twenty miles from the city. and that
If 1t can be taken twenty miles from
the city 1t can be taken 100 miles.
The matter was called to the atten-
ton of Judge Witten yesterday aft
ernoon and he was advised that no
taries were receiving applications
outside of the city limits, but he de-
clined to take any action disturbing
them, contending that he was not
bound by the corporate limits OF the
city. His view of the situation is
that the tract of land is surrounded
by other property within the corpor
ate limits Of the city and. therefore,
IL is not material and will not invali-
date the applications so that those
before these notaries will
not lose their chance. 1t could not
be learned who the lawyers are who
taking the action olok-
ing TO the invalidation OF the appll.
but 1t is understood that
they are residents OF Spokane

A REMONS1RANCE
IS FILED TO-DAY
CenterviIe People Take Steps
To Keep Saloons Out
Of the Town.
THREE HUNDRED SIGNERS
DOCUMENT WILL Be PRESENTED
TO THE COUNTY COMMISSION
ERs At THEIR NEXT REGULAR
MONTHLY SESSION.
THREE HUNDRED sIGNERs

Residents of Center township are not
to be taken off their guard and in all
probability the township will remain
without saloons for another two years.
A remonstrance bearing 356 signatures
was filed with the county auditor this
morning. 1t will be presented to the
county commissioners at the next reg
ular meeting. The township now is
dry by remonstrance, but the period
covered, expires this year.
Medearis Leads List.
The remonstrance list is led by Sam
uel J. Medearis, a prominent farmer.
The signatures are attached by Calvin
Zehring, Thomas L. King and James
F. Harris. acting with power of attor-
ney for the subscribers. The total
vote Of the township at the last gen.
eral election was $40 and the number
OF signers to the remonstrance is IS
in excess Of the majority. At the re.
cent local option election in Center
township, there were o6S votes for the
'drys' and oil for the vets" It was
a big surprise that the 'drys' won out
by such a small majority. With only
26S dry votes and $50 signers of the
remonstrance appearances indicate
Center township residents would rath.
er have saloons in places other than
their W township.
Cause Of Action.
1t had been reported there was pros
pect of an application for a license to
retail intoxicating liquors at Center
vile and this aroused the temperance
advocates to activity. They were not
long in circulating the petitions and
getting signatures. The result is ex-
pected to prove an effectual barrier to
saloons in the township.
