The plans of those who had hop
ed to procure legislation whereby the
work of the district court could be
Iightened by adding other counties
to the existing districts and calling
in additional judges to share the
burden, may go aglae after all the
hard work that has been put in by
attorneys and others interested in
remedying congested conditions of
litigation in those tribunals.
Before Judge John F. MacLane,
recently appointed as additional
Judge for the third district by Gov
ernor Hawley under the new law pas
sed adding Owyhee county to Ada
and Boise counties for this district,
could even catch his breath or move
to try a case, a clever technical man
euver was made for the purpose of
gaining advantage in a receivership
case, that may result in knocking
the new judge out of his job.
J. H. Richards. of Richards & Ha-
ga. turned the trick and sprang a
surprise Tuesday morning when he
filed application for writ of prohib-
ition in the supreme court to pre-

TONER contends. that the number Of
judges in the state may be incident
ally increased or diminished by in
creasing or diminishing the number
of districts"
Judge Richards discussed tho
phrase in the constitution which
says: THE state shall be divided into
five judicial districts for each Of
which judge shall be chosen" He,
emphasizes the expression, for each.
of which a judge He held that the
constitution thus limits each district
10 "a judge And that this means
that each district can only have one
Judge. Under this reasoning of course
it would be necessary, in order to pro-
vide more judges, to create more dis
tricts, giving a new judge to each
new district This would not allow
two judges to district. 1t would not
allow the legislature to add Oyw-

Mountain Home maverick. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1906-1911, 1911-01-26

the deep water Of his argument. He
said that the act referred TO is un-
constitutional and void, in hat it
purports to authorize an additional
Judge for the Third district, where
as under the constitution of Idaho
there can be but one Judge in each
district.
This matter goes clear into the
whole Judicial fabric of the state 1t
may result in smashing the whole
system. Section six Of the act referr-
ed to says that section 26 of the re-
vised codes. as amended by an act
creating the Eighth Judicial district
and amending section 26 of the re-
vlsed codes, approved March Is,
1909. be amended to read to the ef-
feet that the state is divided into
eight judicial districts, which are de-
fined as follows: the First district
comprises Shoshone county; Second
Latah, Nez Perez and Idaho, Third
Ara, Boise and Owyhee; Fourth.
Blaine, Lincoln, Cassia, Gilmore, Twin
Falls; Fifth, Bear Lake. Oneida, Ban
mock; Sixth, Fremont, Bingham, Lem
HI, Custer; Seventh, Canyon and
Washington; Eighth. Kootenai and
Bonner
The main provision of the new law
which is involved in this test case is
that which provides that an addi-
tlonal judge is created and author
lied for the Third judicial district.
Constitutional Question.
The granting or the refusal 10
grant the application for a writ of
prohibition involves the construction
of section II, article five of the con-
sitution, which is as follows:
THE state shall be divided into
FIVE judicial districts, for each of
which a judge shall be chosen by the
qualified electors thereof, whose term
of ojce shall be four years. And there
shall be held a district court in each
county at least twice in each year,
to continue for such time in each
county as may be prescribed by law;
but the legislature may reduce or in
crease the number of districts, dis
trict judges and district attorneys.
This section shall not be construed
to prevent the holding of special
terms under such regulations as may
be provided by law"
The question particularly involv-
ed is whether the Legislature under
that section may reduce or increase
the number of districts, district judg-
es and district attorneys"
The right of the legislature to in
crease the number of districts has
never been questioned.
Mountain Home maverick. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1906-1911, 1911-01-26

Attorney Frazer called the courts
attention to a case bearing upon the
construction of the section. He said
that the supreme court Of Arkansas,
in the case Of the state against Mar
tin. held that under constitutional
provision which provided THAT "a
Judge shall be elected in the several
circuits OF the state" that the letter
"a" before the word Judge" was not
a limitation upon the power Of the
legislature to provide for more than
one judge in judicial district.
Cites Nevada Case.
Attorney Johnson cited case
which he considered directly in point
1t was the case of the state of Ne
vada against Kinkead. Section five
of article six of the Nevada constitu'
ton contains the following: "Tht
legislature may, however, provide by
law for an alteration in the boundar'
les or divisions of the districts herein
prescribed, and also for increasing OF
diminishing the number of the judi
cial districts and judges therein"
In that case the court uses this
language: In view of these facts
there is no reason for taking the fol
lowing language in any other than {
literal sense: (then quotes the above
part of the constitution This mean
that the Legislature may increase o
diminish the number of judges in thu
respective districts and not, as petit
Mountain Home maverick. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1906-1911, 1911-01-26

Attorney John Blake, in his ar
gument, said: 1T would seem that
no argument is necessary to cinvince
any court that the only construction
that can be placed upon the language
of this section of the constitution IS
that the legislature has power to in
crease the number of districts orig
inally, provided for in the constitu-
ton and also has the power to in
crease the number of district judges
in each district and also has the pow
er to increase the number of district
attorneys in each district.
"The language Of the section is in
capable Of any other construction
than that the legislature has the au-
thority to increase the number of
judges in the several judicial dis
tricts."
Violates Cardinal Rule.
Judge Richards contended that un-
der the language OF the constitution,
the number of judges in the state may
be incidentally increased or dimin-
ished by increasing or diminishing
the number of districts.
Attorney General McDougall and
Assistant Attorney General Peterson
held that, besides being opposed to
the natural import of the language Of
the constitution, this Interpretation
violates the cardinal rule of construc-
ton and renders certain words mean
ingless and superfiuous.

anticipated suit Of the carlson-Lusk
Hardware company against H. L.

The application caused quite a stir
among the lawyers. Oral argument

sci in behalf of the state against
the granting of the writ, Judge Rich

Plaintiffs Contentious.
Judge Richards showed that the
Victory Mining company is a cor
poration organized and existing un-
der the laws of New York; that the
plaintiff, H. L. Streeter. on Novem-
Der %, 1910, by order of Judge
Fremont Wood in the Third district
court, was appointed receiver Of the
companyfi wherein Chester A. Irving
is pIaintiff and the company is de-

1t was averred by Judge Richards
that the Carlson-Lusk Hardware
company is about to apply to Judge
lIacLane for an order granting leave

Judge MacLane threatens to and viii
sign an order to that effect unless
prohibited by an order of the supreme
court.

and the line slipped out over the bow, tight

So we had one walrus, at any rate hard ana
fast on the business end Of the line. When
he came up to breathe-for he was far from
dead fired at him again and missed, ana ne
ducked under. The same thing happened sew
eral times, and though l did finally finish him
with bullet through his brain, had no idea
until then what lot of practice 1t takes to
shoot accurately out of boat when rocked
even by small waves as was ours.
The sixth of August was calm and warm,
the sun shone brightly and the innumerable
pans of floating ice glistened under the slant
ing rays as the Erik showed her nose into
the mouth of Whale sound
Just the day for walrus-no wind and
they'll be out on the ice sleeping in the sum-,
said Mat Henson, who had come aboard from
the Roosevelt to take charge of the hunt; and
Mat knew, for he had hunted walrus in Whale
sound many time
In half an hour several pans of walrus had
been sighted-it was then four in the morn
ing-and two boats were launched; Norton,
Henson, two Eskimo and myself in a rowboat;
Whitney with a crew, in the launch. We
we're soon busy. When an animal. was killed
an oar was hoisted and the ship steamed up
to the spot and hauled the dead monster
again to search for more game. Some of the
tricks Of the trade" were soon learned, for
instance; a walrus killed in the water would
sink nine times out Of ten, and unless there
was a harpoon in him would be lost. The
same was generally true Of one shot on an
ice pan, unless killed instantly-he would
slide off into the water and sink.
Our party finally returned aboard exhaust
ed, to find that about 40 walrus had been
taken.
When l awoke next morning we were drop
ping anchor off little Eskimo village named
Kangerderlooksoah, situated near the mouth
Of Inglefeld gulf. Commander Peary had
been with us aboard the Erik since leaving
North Star bay and said that he would remain
here long enough to give us chance at the
caribou. That afternoon we pushed off in the
whaleboat, bound for the head Of the gulf

excited as children at the idea of hunt. We
worked along shore, zigzagging between low

slabs of ice, where sea pigeons aoated and
little auks dove and flew away as the boat ap-
preached Looking over the side one could see
their little black-and-white bodies shooting
the water, using their wings vigorously and
leaving trail of bubbles behind. Several seals
were seen and as we rounded a point half an
hour later, another village appeared the pointed
huts hardly distiDgushable at first from the
pointed rocks. A native came out In a kayak
to accompany us ashore.
At least half the population expressed
strong desire to go with US, by getting into the
boat when we were making ready to leave
compromise being finally effected by our taking
along two fine-looking young bucks each dressed
in new bear and sealskn suit.
At seven the next morning the sun burst
through the mist and shone on the wet rocks,
the white ice in the bay, and also on the glisten
ing black head of curious seal wallowing
about just off shore. Things were moving in
no time. The huskies crawled out from under
the boat cover and beat their fur clothing with
sticks to get out the dampness and the oil
stoves were set going in preparation for break
fast. At eight we started inland, accompanied
by the Eskimo hunters, carrying rifles and a
few biscuits.
The first ridge rose sharply from the shore,
the trail beyond leading up broad, rocky val
ley. Here we separated, my two guides turn
ing up dry creek bed. 1t was hard travelling
over the broken rock in the valleys and the
steep slants of the ridges, and my .4O5 Winches-
ter got pretty heavy before we sighted the first
game, in the shape of two blue-gray caribou
bulls, feeding at the edge Of rock-rimmed
pond. One Of the huskies and / crcled around
the down-wind side and crawled on our bellies
up to big boulder near the head of the pond,
bringing both animals within range As we
reached the boulder and peeked cautiously
around it the nearer caribou began to get un-
easy and started out of the water, but pulled
up on the bank, at range Of about 100 yards
long enough to get himself properly shot AT
that distance his coat was much the same shade
of gray as the rocks on which he fell

ridge looking across a big valley with lake

the other side standing ankle deep at the edge
of another little pond, were two more caribou

Of the ridge and, following down a ravine fur
ther on, came out on level with the pond hid

EYES WOULD BURN AND STING

"It is just year ago that my sis
ter came over here to us. She had
been here only a few weeks when her
eyes began to be red, and to burn and
sting as if she had sand in them.
Then we used all of the home rene
dies. She washed her eyes with salt
water, used hot tea to bathe them
with, and bandaged them over night
with tea leaves, but all to no purpose.
She went to the drug store and got
some salve, but she grew constantly
worse. She was scarcely able to look
in the light. At last she decided to
go to doctor, because she could
hardly work any more. The doctor
said it was very severe disease, and
If she did not follow his orders close
ly she might lose her eyesight. He
made her eyes burn and applied cleo
tricity to them, and gave her various
ointments. In the two and a half or
three months that she went to the
doctor, we could see very little i'm
provement.
"Then we had read so much how
people had been helped by Cuticura
that we thought we would try it, and
we cannot be thankful enough that we
used it, My sister used the Cuticura
Pills for purifying the blood, bathed
only with Cuticura Soap, and at night
after washing, she anointed her eyes
very gently on the outside with the

swelling was entirely gone from the
eyes, and after month there was no
longer any mucus or watering Of the
