mean that the county treasurer may
hold the office for four years; for if it
cid, then WaTson might have held said
ate space of time. but also for nearly
nine months of said third term. The
constitution says two terms, rot four
years, and that the treasurer shall not
hold the office for more than two con-
secutive terms Now If he should hold
the office for a part OF one term and
then for the whole of the next term
he could not be eligible to be elected
for still another term; for that would
give him the office for more than two
consecutive terms"
The supreme court, in the "a Kansas
above cited. seeks to distinguish be-
tween the facts in the case decided and
the facts in the case of Davis VS.. Pat
ten and Horton VS.. Watson.
I believed that the court has gone as
far as it will go in its construction
of the constitution in this "a Kansas
case. and that they are bound to hold
that where a person has been appoint
ed to fill a vacancy in an unexpired
term of the Office of sheriff and then is
elected for a full term that he cannot
be reelected for another full term for
the reason that he would then be hold
ing for more than two consecutive
terms. In other words, that he would
have held the office consecutiveIy for
the part of the term of the regular
term for which he was appointed and
two full terms. Under my view of the
law do not believe you are eligible

to mention his coming marriage to
any of his friends. Both young
people are well and favorably know
having been residents OF American

years. Mrs. Collier was chief oper-
ator at the telephone exchange here
for two years or more, leaving the
emmplayment only shor thine ago.

WILL ASK COMMISSIONERS
TO LIGHT BRIDGE.
Increased Traffic From Across the
River Makes the Wagon Bridge
Dangerous Night Crossing.

Petitions are no being circlated or
both sides OF Snake river and are
being freely signed, asking the com
mfssioners of Blaine and Oneida
counties to have the Snake river
bridge at this point lighted. The
great development in that portion
OF Blaine county and the increased
productions of that portion of Bin
CHAM county which Is tributary to
Aerican Falls, has so increased the
traffic OF this long bridge that some
trou BILE has been experienced lately
on the bridge At this time of the
year when wheat is being hauled
to market with four, six and eight
horse teams many have had trouble
in passing on the bridge Traffic
at night with the wheat wagons on
the road home and late loads getting
to town often meet on the bridge
and in the darkness serious accident
are often only narrowly averted.
In order for two rigs to pass on
this bridge it is necessary to reign
horses tight to the railing and in
many cases, especially at night, it
is next to impossible to do SO with
the water roaring under the bridge,
and to manage six or eight horses
under these conditions is sometimes
next to impossible.
Ehe length of the bridge mades
1t impossible for one going onto the
bridge to see whether it is clear at
night and the noisy water makes
it impossible to know whether a
rig is coming, so all ust take chances
and cross. Not long ago six
horse team pulling a loaded wheat
wagon met a team pulling a hay
rack after dark on the bridge and
the narrowness of the bridge made
1t impossible to pass and the team
mad to be unhitched from the wagon
with the rack and that wagon push
ed off the bridge before traffic was
resumed. With the bridge lighted
one or the other of these rigs would
nave waited for the other and all
erouhie ana danger Of serious ac-
cident prevented.
