CITY CAN FORFEII lFlE hINIl =
OF AUTOMATIC PHONE co.
Yesterday was a bad day for Cir
poration Counsel Folsom, the Auto
matte Phone Co., ct al Atty Stephen
Foster, phone and franchise expert,
said the city had the right to forfeit
the automatic phone properties.
The city, however, would never get
control of the phone company if it
relied on the ordinances prepared by
Corporation Counsel Folsom for the
purpose, according to Foster.
Foster, who has been fighting the
Bell phone interests for years as at
torney for small companies which re-
sisted the power Of the phone trust, "
was hired by the gas, oil and electric
light committee as its legal adviser.
His first opinion is in favor Of a for
felt.
Not only has the city a right to
forfeit the rights of the Automatic
Phone Co." declared Foster, ''but the
properties and the right to operate
municipal phone plant will come as
well
whether the city could forfeit
without court action is something l
have not yet determined, but there
is no doubt that the city has the right
to make the automatic company live
I'D to it's contract.
Records of previous litigation
show that the courts will always up
hold the right of the people over Util-
ity corporations when it comes to
forcing them to live up to their agree
ments.
1.-THE courts would, without any
hesitation, sustain a forfeiture pro-
ceeding on the part of the city when
it is expressly provided for in the or
dinances."
The ordinances prepared by Corpo-
ration Counsel Folsom, who is de-
scribed by Aid. Kennedy as ''Unrelia-

Rob't Buck.

cising Mr.. Folsom" replied Atty FOs-
ter. eft might have been a mistake.
All lawyers make mistakes"
Former Corporation Counsel W. H.
Sexton, attacked as a big biz" aid
by the radical aldermen who are now
fighting to uphold public interests,
gave an opinion some time ago that
the automatic company had fulfilled
it's contract with the city and its
property could not be taken. Then
he left his job in the city hall.
This opinion was also raped by
Foster. Sexton claimed that the COM
pany had fulfilled its contract, agree
ing to serve 10000 bona fde subscrib-
ers when it was prepared to serve
them.
"'The ordinance required that the
company have 10000 bona fide sub
scribers using the automatic phone.

too clear to need any opinion from
me- Foster declared.

AFTER ADDITIONAL. LANDS.

The Z. 5. land office at White Bird
with Commissioner G. j. Wright in
charge has been doing a veritable Gland
Office business within the last few
weeks. The last ruling of the Interior
Department at Warrington, allowing an
additional entry of 100 acres to home
steaders who have already proved up is
responsible for the rush. The new law
provides that claimants who have per-
fected title to their original entry
may take an additional quarter section
provided, the original entry has not
been disposed of, and provided, that
the land entered lies contiguous to the
original filing. AS there is an abund
ance of land not yet taken up in the
Salmon river country greater number
of filing is yet looked for.

IN CUSTODY ON SERIOUS CHARGE.
John Ashby Taken on Warrant Sworn
Out by e. Rhett,

A sensation was created here Thurs
day morning of last week, when Deputy
Sheriff VIM. Eller of Grangeville APP
peared here having in custody John
Ashby of Slate Creek on a charge of
horse stealing the warrant being sworn
out by E. Rhett, of John Day. From
the information gathered by The Free
Press correspondent it appears that the
horse in question was range animal
which has been running at large for
some time but had never been branded
by the owner.
Ashby claims that several months
ago he rounded the animal up, placed
his brand upon him and used him
around the ranch. That no attempt
was made to steal the horse he AYERS
is evidenced by the fact that the child
rem rode him to school during the win
ter where he was subject to the public
gaze.
Rhett contends that Ashby knew the
animal was his, and upon learning that
the horse was in Ashbys possession
swore out a warrant for his arrest 1t
will be difficult to prove the ownership
of the horse as the brand placed upon
him has become indistinct. Both
Ashby and Rhett are prominent stock
men of the Salmon River country.

TAKE OVER STAGE LINE.

Monday of this week terminated the
Grangeville- New Meadows mail con-
tract of Smith and Gordon. The mail
route was taken over by these parties
in July of last year, and should have
continued until July the first 1918. 1t
seems however that the figures of the
contract were so in excess of the re-
venue derived by the government that
new bids were called for and the con-
tract relet. Freeman and Brown have
now taken over the line and purchased
the equipment of Smith and Gordon.

In all their plans for reorganization,
in all their speculations as to candi-
dates, and in all their cropping for live
issues the republicans are keeping one
main fact Away in view-the man they
have to fight in 1916 is Moses Alexan-
der. They realize fully that the COVER
nor has secured grip on the electorate
of the state that will be hard to shake
loose. They have abundant proof tina,
his strength is not confined to the
democratic party; that he has made in
roads on both the progressives and re-
publicans. They charge him with
demagoguery and grand standing. They
charge that his claim of Million dol
lar saving has little or no foundation in
fact. They charge him with playing to
the galleries for purely selfish ends.
But not one of them has yet charged
that he is not a shrewd business man,
shrewd politician and hustler in
office.
In selecting candidate for governor
able to meet Governor Alexander on the
stump and in putting forth platform
that will stand up against the assaults
the governor is prepared to make upon
it, the keenest republican leaders in the
+o4n L kax al
Not one of them is shutting his eyes
to this fact. They still insist that a
large majority of the voters of Idaho
are nominally republican,; but with the
shaking up the national party received
in 1912 and with the explosion within
the party ranks in Idaho in 1914, these
done to regain popular favor; that it
would be foolhardy to count on the
majorities of years ago, and that the
only hope of party success lies in a
complete reorganization, state ticket
of exceptional strength, a platform that
means business in every line and an
abundance of hard, earnest work among
the voters.
OF these republicans who have been
taking stock at time when there is
little political excitement in the air,
some of them are willing to admit now
that unless rare wisdom guides them in
the coming months Idaho will not only
re-elect Moses Alexander governor in
1916, but that it will swing into the
democratic column for the presidency
and lay the foundation for sending
Moses Alexander to the United States
senate in 1916.
When all these things are considered
it is not at all strange that the repub
lican leaders are moving slowly and
with caution in the matter of party
reorganization. They don't lose sight
of the fact, either that when the parties
line up for the next struggle the demo
Gratis will be entrenched in all the
federal offices and a goodly share of
the state and county offices.
