The County Name.
The name of Godin, pronounced
Go din, in honor of the first white
man who lost his life on Lost River,
is one of the shortest, smoothest and
sweetest names yet suggested for a
county in the state. Godin was a
"free trapper" who followed the
course of Big Lost River in search
of fur-bearing animals before the ad-
venturous men of the Rocky Noun
tain Fur company ventured into this
country in 1925, and because Of the
treachery Of another white, man in
dealing with an Indian chief, poor
Godin was singled out to give up his
life to satisfy the revengeful feelings
of the tribesmen. For nearly cen

In all of the big unwieldy counties
of Idaho the people are considering
changes of boundary lines to bring
them into more convenient and prac-
tical location for administering coun-
ty government. Many county divis-
ion bills are pending and several have
been enacted. Lincoln county has
been cut in three and Gooding and
Rupert are the new county seats.
Power county has been carved out
Of Oneida, Cassia Blaine, and Bing-
ham.

counties as they were before the tn
session cut Bingham in two. The
heavy parallel lines show the tele-
phone system. Idaho Falls is now

WANT COMMISSION
TO RESC|ND ACTION
Private Conference Is Held
With Commissioners on
Restricted District

An effort is being made to influence or
persuade the city commission to repeal it's
recent action abolishing the restricted
district. In the last few days one or
two we'll known citizens who are known
to be interested in keeping the restricted
district intact, have called upon the COM
missioners and held one or two lengthy
conferences with them.
AS to exactly what turn the matter
has taken, what arguments have been
advanced or any other particulars re-
gardihg the matter, little is known. And
no one connected with the matter so
far has consented to make any statement
1t is known, however that there is
small chance if any of the city commits
sion again acting on the restricted dis
trict question for some time to come
Members of the commission state they
have settled the matter as far as they
are concerned for the crescent.
AS is remembered, the district was first
ordered abolished several months ago and
the time limit set at October l. When
the time limit expired an attempt was
made to secure an extension to jan
scented at the city commission meeting
last Friday on this question but the petit
ton was denied. 1t is since the action last
Friday that the private conferences
have been held with the commission.

JUDGE FORT WRITES.
LETTER TO BERRY
REFUSING PARDON
Personal Affront Forgiven,
He Says, But Dignity of
Court Requires Sen

According to the written answer of
Judge w. E. Fort of the criminal court

apologized to him for the affront offered
the court which caused his fine and inn
prisonment.
Judge Fort yesterday sent the following
reply to the imprisoned justice:
Mr. H. p Berry. city.
Dear sir: Your note of apology was
received
So far as I am personally concerned
the insult you offered so openly and
unjustly could we'll be overlooked, in
consideration of what you say In your
letter; but, as an official, l must be
just before | am generous, and the
outrageous and inexcusable insult you
repeatedly offered to the court, over
which ! have the honor to preside,
cannot be overlooked without serious
impairment of the dignity of the court
and causing. reflection upon that
public justice, which is greater and
more precious than the personal feel
ings of any man.
The penalty imposed is an official
act, inspired by my sense of right
and Justice. Public duty impels me
to decline to interfere with the SEN
tence pronounced.
Personally, | am sorry that you, or
any other man, must suffer for his
conduct, but for this 1 am not re-
sponsble. | am, however. responsible
to the people of this county to see
that Justice is measured out wherever
it is due, to the best of my ability,
and cannot conscientiously feel that
the penalty imposed is too great for
the deliberate, intentional contempt.
which you knowingly committed. |
am guided not by my personal feel
ings but entirely by the necessity of
maintaining proper respect for the
highest court of justice in criminal
matters In Jefferson county. Yours,
sincerely. WILLIAM E. FORT,

able comment yesterday. Lawrence IL.
Pennington of the board of revenue was
asked yesterday what he thought should
be done. Mr.. Pennington said that he did
not care to go on record at present
Something should be done,' said Mr..
Pennington. Or. Oates had condemned
the present jail twice. and he assures us
that conditions must be remedied or
course I am in no position at this time
to announce what I am willing to do. L
take 1t that the board of revenue will
delve into the subject presented to that
body by the Chamber of Commerce, and
will cooperate with that body as consis-
tently as possible. can see considerable
objection to the jail being in its present
location from commercial, civic and pro-
gressive viewpoints. The best thing to
be done is the only subject that I care
to be convinced upon I can see the merit
in the contention to remove the Jail If
such scheme is feasible and consistent
with the best interests of the community
at large"
Committee to Meet
w. Nj. Drennen, chairman of the Cham
Der of Commerce committee to whom
was referred the question of ways and
: means of removing the Jail from Twenty

committee would meet today or tomorrow
If possible. He said the meeting would
be held this week. but it is barely possi-
BILE that the committee will be unable to
get together until Monday of next week
as the fair and other attractions are just
starting.
Mr. Drennen was advised yesterday
morning that his committee would be
given the task of solving the problem
and said he would give the matter his
best efforts. Mr.. Drennen was asked yes
terday for his opinion as to the best
means of getting the board of revenue to
order the removal of the jail and erecting
county Jail in less desirable section
He said that on account of the brief time
within which he had to study the ques-
ton he was unwilling to make any state
ment at this time as to the details of the
question. Mr.. Bremen did say, however
that something should be done to remedy
the situation as it now exists. but he did
not know what was the best step to
take.
'srie committee of which ! am chair
man." he said, will be called together
this week. We will go into the whole sit
uation thoroughly and will try to solve
this mooted question. | have not studied
the proposition thoroughly and am unpre-
pared to make any statement in that
connection. However 1 am free to admit
that some action should be taken to re-
lieye Twenty-first street of the presence
of the prison. Our compittee will take
the matter up without delay and will
give the problem our best intelligence"
