No Dust, No Ifuht.

Diffusion Of light through the atnos-

of dust-atoms floating in it. The finest
dust floats highest, and imparts the
tint OF blue to the heavens. Were
it not for dust the sky by day would
appear black, and the moon and stars
would be visible. ALI shadows would

appear differently. It Is not 1.-The

rejecting it back and forth from one

There are many families on new
farms within a days drive of Black
foot who have scanty supply OF
reading matter, and many people in
and about Blackfoot who have stacks
of magazines they have read and do
not know what to do with.
We asked a few friends to bring In
reading matter to send out to settlers
and we received was surprise.

Argosy, McClures, Golfers, The Post.

the case of the British Pertinent.
While of course it is very convenient
for the members to sit at handsome
mahogany desks, still as a matter of
fact, their clerical work is all done
in the spacious office building erected
a few years ago. During the last
session, the senate failed to concur
in a similar measure which was sent
over by the house. This failure to
concur uon the part of the senate was
attributed to the desire to conclude
the affairs of congress on March 4th,
and the measure pertaining to reap
portionment was left as unfinished
business.
Captain Evelyn Briggs Baldwin,
the Arctic explorer, is in Washing
ton working out his plans for an ex-
petition to cross the Arctic ocean by
way of the North Pole. 1t is the pur-
pose of Captain Baldwin to enter the
pack-ice to the northwest of Point
Barrow, Alaska, in 1918, and to make
fast to large icest foe, which he
states will be carried along just as
a car is drawn by cable. In four
years time the ship and the expedi-
ton will have followed mechanically
in straight courses over the northern
curvature of the earth, crossing the
Pole. Captain Baldwin has converted
scientists to the belief that his plan
is feasible and correct, and that
through the usn of ship which can
not be crushed by ice packs, that his
plan cannot help but succeed. But
one wonders how any man can lay
out program which requires SO
much patience and hard work as that
involved in this enterprise.
Representative Henry, chairman OF
the commi' tee on rules, asserts that
he has received sufficient assurance

attempted at different times for a

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE IDAHO
REPUBLICAN
Aberdeen, Idaho, May %, 1911

Aberdeen, Idaho, May %, 1911.
Dear Mr.. Editor.
l learn from the last issue of pour
paper that the Honorable Board of
County Commissioners, at recent
special meeting had certain proceed
ings relative to the creation of a
"herd district" in the vicinity of the
town of Aberdeen in Bingham County.
In one column it is stated that the
board had ordered the creation of a
herd district comprising all of Sec
ton 33, township 5, S. r. 80 e. B.
M. The section mentioned lies six
miles east of the town of Aberdeen.
In another column it is stated that by
way if compromise between conflict
ing delegates, herd district" had
been created co-extensive in area with
the townsite of Aberdeen, which COM
prises section 93, township 5, s. R.
81, E. B. M.
The facts, as nearly as may be OBJ
tanned, are substantially as follows:
A petition purporting to be signed by
a majority of the qualified electors OF
parts of townships S. and 6 S. r.
81 e. q. NJ, and comprising about
SO sections of land was presented to
the commissioners requesting them
to create the territory described in
the petition as a ''herd district So
far as I know due and legal notice OF
such petition was given.
At the time and place of hearing
there were conflicting ideas expressed
by divers settlers present as to the
wisdom of creating herd district out
of said territory, each of the conflict
ing delegations before the board be-
ing attended by legal counsel, and alta
the same time the commissioners had
at their disposal the valuable legal
advice of the county attorney.
1t appears that the commissioners
after having considered the arguments
of the two conflicting delegations and
their counsellors, decided to elimin-
ate from the territory described in
the petition 40 sections of land and
create herd district" out of the
one remaining section. hE
The only power or authority given
the county commissioners at such
bearings is found n Section 1905,
Idaho Revised Codes, which reads:
AT such hearing, if satisfied that a
majority of electors of said proposed
herd district are in favor of the en-
forcement of the herd law therein,
and t is found to beneficial TO said
district, the board of county commits
sioners shall make an order creating
such herd district in accordance with
the prayer of the petition, or with
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1911-05-26

such notifications as it may choose
to make" THE remaining portion
of said section refers to the time when
the order shall take effect, etc.,
The foregoing section is unmistak-
ably plain and requires no legal train
ing whatever to comprehend its mean-
ing.
1t appears that the only discretion
ary power which the legislature has
the slightest intention of delegating to
the commissioners in such cases was
LIST. to give them power to grant the
petition as presented; End. to give
them power to reject the petition, and
3rd. to give them power to grant the
petition with such notifications OF
the prayer as they choose to make.
If the proceedings of the commits
sioners in this instance were legal, 1t
would logically follow that, were the
entire county embraced in proposed
herd district the petition for said
district being signed by large ma
jority of the electors of the county,
that the commissioners would be en-
powered to disregard the expressed
wishes of the petitioners, and in lieu
thereof establish herd district" in
some remote portion of the county
comprising a section or quarter sec
ton or even ten acres of land, which
action might be very unsatisfactory
to every citizen of the county except
possibly the owner of the small tract
embraced in the herd district" thus
created
If it is proposed TO create "herd
district" comprising only section 80,
township 5, S. R. 81 E. B. NJ, upon
which section of land the unincorpor-
lated town of Aberdeen is situated, l
submit that t is necessary that a
petition to the board of county COM
missioners, describing the territory be
sumitted, that due and legal notice
be given, and that proper hearing be
had. H
In such case it would appear that
the commissioners have no authority
to either add to nor take from the
territory described in the petition, al
though they may If they choose mod
ify the prayer of the petitioners.
A somewhat perplexing feature of
the proceedings of the commissioners
lies in the fact that they became sat-
ished that majority of the electors
If the proposed herd district are in
favor of the enforcement of the herd
law therein when no petition nor evil
dence of any kind purporting to ex-
press the desires of majority of the
electors of the district they attempted
to create was before the commission
ers for their consideration and guild
ance.
Unless / receive satisfactory legal
advice to the contrary, proceedings OF
1 the commissioners first referred to
will be respectfully disregarde,l.

AFFAIRS AT WASHINGTON

The question of election of senators
nv direct vote of the people has as
sumed a position that will at last
crown Senator Borah and his great
work with success. There perhaps has
been no more persistent or spectacu-
lar fight on any measure in congress
in recent years, and the almost single
handed efforts of the Idaho senator
have resulted in creating a demand
throughout the country that this leg
islation which the people have SO long
sought has conquered the unwilling
senate, which has been compelled to
listen to the voice of command from
the voters and give to the people OF
the nation their right to select their
own representatives in the highest
Legislative tribunal in the world. 1t
is almost unheard of that in mat
ter of such tremendous Importance,
Involving the tenure of office of every
senator. thot a measure has been
drafted which has withstood the on
slaughts of the most strenuous op-
position that can be commanded, ana
lyet Senator Borah's resolution today
lis in the identical form, letter for
letter and word for word, as origin
ally introduced by him. There seems
no doubt but that the required two
thirds vote to pass the resolution is
assured.
Every few days sensational reports
go out from Washington to the effect
that the United States is preparing to
take hand in the affairs of Mexico,
but these reports have little founda-
ton, as the administration and con-
gress have absolutely no desire to be-
come involved in the affairs of our
sister republic, and the necessity will
need to be exceedingly pressing If our
troops are ever moved across the Dor
der. President Taft has emphasized
his position in this respect in such
a manner that people at the Capitol
entertain no doubt as to the policy
he is endeavoring to carry out.
During the discussion of the free
list bill in the House, the debate con-
ltinued from II o'clock each morning
until late each afternoon. A notice
able feature of the consideration Of
Il this measure was the lack of attend
ance upon the part of the members
at the sessions, and while speeches
were constantly going on, most of
the members did not feel it necessary
to remain in their seats and listen
to the dry discussion of the proposed
changes in the tariff. While the re-
cords show that the House worked
hard, as a matter of fact, the period
taken up by the measure happened
to fall during delightful spring wea-
Their, which afforded an opportunity
to members for vacations. The base
i ball games, aeroplane show and the
i horse show enjoyed representative
patronage.
i Universal peace for the world Is
tquite the rage, and the latest chap
ter in promoting it centered around
the presentation of a gold medal to
