the latter turned the story of How
an elephant distinguished real
judge" onto the Supreme Bench,
was productive of much laughter.
All in all, it was an occasion long
to be remembered, the only regretable
feature beingas expressed by Judge Ali
SHE and the entertainment committee,
the absence of several hundred of the
worthy citizens of this community,
made necessary by the capacity of the
hotel, the number having to be
limited to the ability to serve.
The heavy rainfall of the preced-
ing days prohibited the auto excursion.
but late Sunday afternoon Judge Ali
SHE had his friends out for carriage
ride and took them up onto the
mount and showed them all the coun-
tries of the world but he did not
claim them all as his own, nor offer
to give them away.
Monday morning the distinguished
visitors took their car for Lewiston
and their judicial duties, with profuse
expressions of satisfaction with their
trip, and praise of the hospitality and
hearty good cheer which they met
with at the hands of the camas eaters:
1t was also noticeable that their con-
fidence in Judge Ailshie seemed to
be somewhat restored; and it is the
belief here that some of the booster
yarns" which he has been giving
forth about Idaho county, might have
found veri6cation in fact when put to
the test.

LOCAL OPTION
LAW UPHELD
Judge Steele Sustains the
Law and Action of the
Co. Commissioners.

On last Friday Judge f. c. Steele
rendered decision from the bench
on the much discussed local option
case of Idaho county, upholding the
law and the order of the Board of Com
missioners calling special election.
Judge w. N. Scales appeared for
the appellant, John Norwood, and
made an able presentation of the
case from that point of view, while
county Attorney Gilmore and Attor-
ney A. S. Hardy each made a brief
but effective plea in defense of the
law and the action of the county COM
missioners in ordering the election.
The claim set up was that the law
was SO defective and incomplete as
to render itvoid. The principal con-
tention was that the law was defec-
tive in not sufficiently prescribing
how voters should register. Judge
Steele called attention to the fact that
the law provided that the old regis
trars who acted in 1908 at the gen.
eral election, should act as registrars
unless a vacancy occurred, which
should be filled by the Auditor, and
that all persons who were registered
in 1908, and were now qualified vot-
ers, should not be required to regis
ter again, but that the old registration
was sufficient, and thar qualified vot-
ers who had not registered in 1908
should be registered upon application,
and that although the present law
concerning local option elections
failed to provide for how long a per-
iod of time or upon what days the
books should be kept open for regis
tration, yet the law provided that the
commissioners should give 20 days
notice, and that it was intended that
the voters should have the right to
register during this period.
Judge Steele stated that any law
which was plain enough for every or
binary laymsn to understand and act
upon intclligently ought to be suffici-
emily plain that the courts should not
declare the law void for uncertainty.
Ii was also claimed thar the order
made by the board should have des-
ignated the particular place in the pre-
cinct where the election was to be
held. The law provides that the
election shall be held in each pre-
cinct at the usual voting place, and
the court held that the commissioners
would have no right to designate a
place, when the law had already dcs-
ignated one. and that all the COM
missioners could have done would
have been 10 try to state where the
usual polling place in each precinct
was, and that this was not required
OF the commissioners. 1t was called
attention to that no voter in the
county claimed that he did not know
where any polling place was, or had
been deprived of his vote, and that it
was not question arising upon a
contest of the election, but that it
was question as to whether the
election was totally void. The order
was held sufficient.
1t is stated that the case will be
carried up to the supreme court, but
as it is understood that there is a case
identical with this one now before the
supreme court, the necessity of such
a course can hardly be seen, and il
probably will not be done.
