Gets 20 Cents
For His Wool

J. o. Morgan, the we'll known sheep
man, was in town this week from
his sheep range on the Blackfcot ri
yer. He is happy wool grower, and
lhe ought to be for he says he got
the Democratic price of 20 cents fol
his wool crop, which will be between
5000 and 1000 fleeces, nearer the
latter amount. With the present high
price of wool and the promised reduc.
ton in freight rates and other pro.
fitable conditions that are at present
confronting the sheepmen they will all
be victims Of those swollen fortunes
that Billy Bryan says is a curse. We
notice that Bill, however, never gets
angry when he is threatened with o
cursing of this character, as he con.
siders 1t blessing in his de-
clining years.

Salary Cases Of
Bingham County
Filed On Appeal

Appeals in five cases were filed In
the supreme court involving the
right Of boards of county commission
ers to raise or lower the salaries OF
deputy county officers at their dfscre-
ton. They are sister cases, all COM
ing from the district court Of the
Sixth judicial district in and for Bing-
ham county, in which the board of
commissioners Of that county is ap-
pellant, and the respondents are the
deputy county clerk, deputy county
treasurer, deputy county assessor.
deputy sheriff, and jailer, respectively.
In January of this year the Bing-
ham county commissioners adopted q
resolution reducing the salaries Of the
above named officers. the reductions
amounting to about SO per month in
each case. In the February term Of
the Bingham county district court
Jessie Lloyd. G. v. Fisher, John Wray,
F. s. Fackrell and James Hull, tho
officers affected by the commission
ers' ruling, petitioned the court for re
lief declaring that the reduced salaries
were not just, reasonable nor fair.
The commissioners urged in defense
that no appeal could legally be taken
from their order: that the district
cou1t was without jurisdiction to
hear such an appeal; that the court
was without power to fix or determine
salaries Of county officers appointed
as deputies; that the board has
power under the constitution to change
such salaries at it's discretion.
Lower Courts Decision
Judge Alfred Budge sitting for
Judge Stevens, gave decision April
80 referring the natter back to the
commissioners and stating as tho
courts opinion that the commission
ers ought to have taken testimony and
afforded the officers an opportunity
to present their claims before the SAL
aries were altered. From this deci-
sion the commissioners have appealed
to the supreme court,
James e. Good, prosecuting attor-
ney of Bingham county, and A. S.
Dickinson, are attorneys for the ap-
pellants, the board of commissioners;
Thomas & Andersen, L. Ivan Jen-
