NEWS OF IDAHO
STATED IN BRIEF
TELEGRAPHIC CHRONICLE OF
STATE HAPPENINGS.
LAND BOARD IS HARD HIT
Idaho Supreme Court Holds State
Can Not Legally Relinquish
1000 Acres to Settlers.

Boise-The supreme court of this
state handed down an opinion in the
Marble creek case in which it is
held that the state land board can
not lawfully relinquish 1000 acres in
Shoshone county, valued at $750,000,
to settlers in accordance with the re-
cent recommendation of the legis-
lative homestead committee. The
findings of the court not alone
marks the end of what has been a
long and bitter fight by persons
claiming the land adversely to the
state, but establishes a precedent in
Idaho jurisprudence.
The decision is revolutionary to
practices of the state land board
which have been common and rec
ognized by the department OF the
interior
Probably the most important and
far-reaching question decided by the
opinion deals with the authority OF
the state to dispose of its public
lands. Under no condition can land
be disposed of in any manner ex-
cept at public auction and at a price
fixed by the constitution at not less
than $40 an acre.

Official figures of the first recog-

which is becoming conducted In New
York and vicinity by the Maxwell

suits that are very much In favor OF
the automobile as against the horse,
the proportion Of cost per passen-

than one-half the cost Of horse-trav-
ell under Identical conditions. This
comparison Ia based upon the first
days operation on Monday, u

week. The test will be continued
until both vehicles have been driven
six days over the same route n
the same number of hours. 1t mas
