NO PRESCRIPTION NEEDED.
Alcohol Can Be Bought Without First
Securing Doctors Certificate.

In an opinion handed down by the
supreme court of the state last week,
that body reverses Judge Steele and
makes an important ruling on the To-
cal option law. The court holds that
pure alcohol can be sold without a
physicians prescription. Following is
the facts in the case:
c. F. Osmers is president and gem
eral manager of the Idaho Drug COM
panv of Lewiston, and sold alcohol to
c. F. Hersey.
Osmers was arrested for selling al
cohol in violation of the local option
law operative in Nez Perce county as
the purchaser did not have a physi-
clans prescription with his written
application.
1t was contended by the druggists
that it Is not necessary to have a ply
siclan's prescription to purchase pure
alcohol from druggist when writer
application was made by the pur.
chaser.
Judge Steele held that both applica
ton and prescription were needed ant
the case was appealed to the supreme
court, where Judge Steele was re
versed.
The supreme court held, in the op
inion written by Justice Sllivan ant
concurred in by Chief Justice Stewart
that under the provisions of the loca
| option law, alcohol may be sold b,
druggists for medical purposes on ap
| plication Of the purchaser Justice

PAYMENT TAX
Senator hornibrook Goes on
Record on Legislation.
WILL WORK FOR SEVERAL NEED
ED CHANGES IN LAWS.
Believes that Question is NOn.Partisan
and that Party Differences Should
be Dropped.

Senator w. H. Hornibrook, who by
virtue of the special session will be
called to Boise next month to help in
the Strengthening out of the tax tangle
gave out the following interview to
the Times in which he gave his posi-
ton as to the questions which will be
the one issue during the extra session.
Mr.. Hornibrook stated emphatically
that he was in favor of making the
payment semi-annually and if possible
to make them quarterly. He stated,
however, that quarterly payments
would probably bring out consider
able opposition on the part of state
and county officials due to the in
crease in their labors.
Exemptions.
Senator Hornibrook stated also that
he was in favor of increasing the
amount of property exempt to widows
from one thousand to five thousand
and also favored a heavier real estate
exemption so as to encourage invest
ment within the state and to protect
the small property owner, who as a
rule pays too great portion of the
whole tax due to his property being oil
unconcealable kind.
Mr.. Hornibrook stated that he was
going to Boise with the idea OF making
the legislation bipartisan and that II
both parties would do the same thai
ten days would see the passage of 6
good revenue law.

NORTHWESTERN LAND SHOW AT
ST. PAUL A WINNER.
{. NJ. Hill Returns From Attendance
mt Show rs State Representa-
tive.

Twin Falls spuds, out of all the var
lous Idaho products at the st. Paul
Land Show. which just closed were
the sole winners for the Gem State.
Idaho was well represented with a
display which attracted attention, but
was not able to win recognition from
the judges as a state. G. M. Hill, who
was in charge at the show in st. Paul,
returned home the first of the week,
and in an interview given to the Times,
stated that from the standpoint of
crowds the st. Paul show was not as
we'll attended as the Chicago show,
but from the character of the people
would prove better advertising for this
state than Chicago's larger show, be-
cause nearly every one of the $1,000
adults in attendance at the st. Paul
show were farmers interested in the
development of the west. He also
stated that the Twin Falls exhibit at
Chicago was put in an out of the way
place in the balcony with no one fam
iliar with conditions here to give out
information.
At st. Paul only seven states were
represented in the display-Oregon
Washington, Idaho, Montana, North
| and South Dakota and Minnesota, but
the exhibits were more complete from
these states than are usually sent to
most shows. Minnesota won the first
prize for the best state exhibit, which
Mr.. Hill declared was certainly Won
derful one. Exhibits by the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific lines
were extraordinarily fine in which
northern Idaho was fully represented.
The exhibitors almost without ex-
ception, stated that next year they
would be back and sought to have
space reserved for the show, which
will be held in Minneapolis.
Mr. Hill stated that he firmly be-
lieved that the show would result in
many new settlers coming to Idaho
during the next year.

GOOD DAYS. BUSINESS.
Between $500 and $4,000 Added to
State Fund.

Between SIS 1000 and $4,000 was re-
ceived yesterday at the office of N.
Jenness, register of the state land
board, to be added to state funds. This
money is derived from two sources
as annual interest payments on sums
loaned by the state to farmers and
ranchmen, and as principal payments
on contracts for the sale of state lands.
The interest payments are held as a
fund for the support of schools and
other institutions, while the pricipal
payments constitute a permanent fund
from which similar loans will be made
in the future.
"The checks received today range in
amount from SIS TO $4,000 EACH" said
Mr.. Jenness yesterday 'and perhaps
the total is increased because the let
ters received constitute two days mail
Sunday and Christmas day However
we will doubtless be in receipt of like
amounts daily for some time, as 1t is
quite probable that within the next
two months between 100000 and
100000 will be sent in" Statesman.

CONTRACT IS LET.
Settlers Near HOmedale Begin Work
on Their Pumping Station.

Contracts for power and the install
lation of the plant have been let by
the Gem Irrigation district and sys-
tenn costing $1,5O0,000, capable of wat
ering 10000 acres of bench land on
the south side of the Snake river near
Homedale, will soon be under way.
Pumping against enormous lifts, one
of which is 175 feet, the system will
drive the water from the river to the
land up on the bluff at which is re-
garded as reasonable cost to the set
tier In the district. The Crane Falls
Power & Irrigation company will furn-
ish the power to run the pumping
plant.
The district, through its attorneys,
Richards & Haga, Friday filed appli-
cations in the federal land office for
the right of way on the government
land for the pumping plant and it's ac-
cessories and described the land as
being lot l, section 4, township north
and range west 1t was not until
just few days ago that the corpora
ton discovered the plant would have
to be placed on government land and
instructed its attorneys to ask the
United States to turn the ground over
to 1t for the head works of the system
About 10000 acres of the land un-
der the system belongs to the state
but practically all OF the 10000 acres
have been filed on by the settlers who
will own an interest in the plant and
all of the canals which will have to be
built. The settlers will get their light
and heat at cost after the expense OF
constructing the distributing service
has been figured into the price al
which the power company delivers the
current to the settlers at the plant

APPEAL CASE
is TRIED
County Commissioners Defend
ants in Prothero Case.
JUDGE OF DISTRICT COURT TAKES
SAME UNDER AMUSEMENT,
Taxpayer Questions Legal Right of
Board to Employ Special Legal
Aid.

During the closing days of the dis
trict court in this county the case of
l.. E. Prothero versus the board of
coutny commissioners, was up for
hearing before Judge Stockslager,
judge Of the district The case has at
tracted much interest because of the
legal question involved which makes it
doubtful if the county can employ spe-
cial counsel or special accountants
and pay for the same out of the gen.
eral expense funds of the county. The
appeal filed by Prothero as a taxpayer
was from the order of the board pay
ing special accountant Edmunds $500
for auditing the county books and 5000
for special attorneys fees paid for as
sistants for the prosecuting attorney
in the difficult cases.
The case came up for trial and the
evidence showed that the expenditures
were not in the nature of extravag-
ance, it being admitted by the plain
tiff's attorneys that a similar audit of
the books occurred two years ago un-
der Republican rule.
The only contention of the plaintiff
being that owing to the fact that the
state provided an accountant to audit
the books that the county commission
ers had no legal right to incur the ex-
pense. The same contention was made
with regard to the special attorneys
fees on the ground that the county was
employing and paying prosecuting
attorney
Judge Stockslager took the case un-
der advisement as to the legal question
involved.

PLACER MINING AT JARBIDCE
Jarbidge River to Offer Splendid
Opportunity.

The most complete report ever given
on the Jarbidge district has just been
compiled by DR.. E. r. Buckley, geolo-
gist and engineer, formerly president
OF the American mining congress. DR..
Buckley has made several eXamina-
tions of the district, and is heavily in
terested in the Buckeye properties of
that camp, which recently were bond
ed for $250,O00. In this property he
explains that they have driven a tun-
mel in seventy feet and this channel is
now in gold and silver ores to the
value of 500 to the ton.
After giving an account of the geo.
logical conditions of Jarbidge, DR.
Buckley says that there is an appor-
tunity for placer mining along the Jar
bidge river That to his certain know
ledge there are gravel bars along the
river for a distance of from six tc
eight miles north of town that con-
tain gold This gravel along the river
may be washed anywhere with a re-
covery of from five to twenty colors to
the pan. The gold is not of the flour
variety, so common to the Snake river
but occurs in we'll defined grains of ir-
regular and frequently angular shape
The river bars are in places 700 feet
wide and half mile or more in length
Their thickness is as yet unknown
There is an abundance of water in the
Jarbidge river and tributary streams
for hydraulic mining, and should the
deeper gravel on bedrock prove but
little richer than those at the surface
there is possibility of profitable plac-
er mining in that locality.
DR.. Buckley views as of much signi.
ficance the large purchases made by
George Wingfield, after his engineer
has made careful examinations of the
district, and conducted a considerable
amount of exploratory work near the
surface. He says as a whole the CAM
offers much promise to men who are
willing to engage in conservative ant
systematic explorations. Few golt
camps in the west have had so little
of the speculative element surround
ing their development. The men wht
moved into the camp in early day!
were eager for legitimate development
and discouraged promotion based upoI
exaggerated statements as to the rich
ness of the discoveries. While thi:
camp may never experience such
boom as Goldtield had, there is every
probability that 1t will become one OF
the important gold producing camps Of

ALIENS LEARN GREAT GAME.
introduced to Snipe Hunt and Kan.
garOO Court.

After being decoyed into the great
American game of snipe hunting by
pseudo friends, two recent arrivals
from the continent were given les

which left them dazzled, bewildered
and utterly unable to see the Joke.
John Williams, in the guise OF friend
last evening introduced two recent ar
rivals in the city to go with him hunt

livered invitation was accepted in the
same spirit. A few other congenial
friends were invited to go along and
the whole crowd proceeded to Rock

frame work with gunny sack was ar
ranged to catch the birds. The two

, to stand one on each side Of the sack

"cagehens."
The rest OF the crowd agreed to act
as bush beaters, but instead beat it up
town. The two ardent sports after
waiting for some time, were alarmed
to hear the approach of people from
the direction Of town and were alarm
ed even more so when the individuals
informed them Of their arrest for vio-
lation of the state game laws. The
badly scared victims of the horse-play
were taken to offices up town, where
a kangaroo court was convened with
Judge John Kashareck presiding and
the violators were sworn to tell the
whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Jimmie Galliher, acting as prosecuting
attorney, arraigned the aliens in Bit
ter terms, too which Hon. "Ole" Lar

and strenuously, but with no avail.
The men were pronounced guilty and
the Judge in solemn tones informed
the two arrests that they were fined
