COURT HOUSE NOTES

The first term of district court in
Gem county will convene in Emmett
on Tuesday morning, October D, at II
O'Clock. 1t will be a special session.
The county commissioners have
been in session this week, wrestling
with the tax levy and the redistricting
of road districts. The Good Roads dis
trict on the Emmett bench ceased to
exist by law when the new county was
organized, so attorneys say, and three
common road districts have been
created in its place.
The budget of expenses of the diff
ferent offices have been submitted to
the commissioners. The tax levy will
soon be made.
Marriage licenses were issued yes
terday to Alvin C. Biggers and Bessie
Viola Green of Pinehurst, and Blaine
Vanderdasson and Vura Walker of
Emmett.

Prohihitinn Law Upheld.

Idaho, it is said has the most strln-
Gent prohibition law of any state IN
the Union. 1t is effective now IN dry
counties and after January l, 1916,
it will be effective over the whole
state. Owing to the extreme proVl-
sions of the act many believed that a
supreme court review would result in
its being declared unconstitutional,
and at the first opportunity test case
was brought. The court handed down
its decision Saturday night and up
holds the validity of the Jaw at every
point. The test case came from La
tab county. The question at issue was
as to whether one may have in his
possession liquor for his own use. One
Edward Crane was arrested with
whisky on his person. 1t was admit
ted that this liquor was not for sale
or to be given away, but for Cranes
personal use. The case will be ap-
pealed to the supreme court OF the
United States.
