STEWART HURT BY ROLLING LOGS
Logging Superintendent Narrowly Es-
capes Death

J. w. Stewart, logging superin-
tendent for the Boomers Ferry
Lumber Company, was the victim
of an accident on the Yakt river
last Thursday morning which re-
suited in the breaking of his right
ankle and the severe bruising of
his leg.
Mr.. Stewart was standing on top
of rollway of logs directing the
movements of the men near the
rivers edge who were trying to
get the rollway started. The roll
way appeared to be starting some
IS feet in front of Stewart and in
the anxiety for the safety of his
men he did not notice the rollway
starting back of where he stood I'M
til it was too late and the logs had
rolled upon him. He was carried
a considerable distance by the roll
ing logs and it is considered a mir
acle that he was not killed. The
strength of some 20 men was re-
quired to move the logs so that
Stewart could be taken from his
precarious position. He is resting
comfortably but it will be several
weeks and perhaps months before
he can use his ankle again.

ton when house bill No. 142 be-
comes operative and therefore is to
be the center of the attack. The
house measure merely provides
that the state as a whole shall be-
come prohibition district. The
claim is made that senate bill No.
so takes away a constitutional
right from residents of this state
in that it prohibits them from hav
ing in their possession, unless Sc
cured under certificate and then
only for medicinal or mechanical
purposes, Intoxicating liquors.
Private consumption of liquor
therefore is prohibited and individ-
uals cannot ship liquor to their
homes and there store it for their
own private use, it is alleged.
The prohibition district bill is
said to have been drafted by some
of the most able attorneys in the
state who were particular to frame
it so that none of its sections would
be unconstitutional. 1t was re-
drafted several times with this OBJ
ject in view, it is said, and when
finally approved and introduced,
is said to have met all legal re-
quirements.
In just what form the attack
will be made on the prohibition
laws in the courts is not known.
Senate bill No. so did not carry an
emergency clause and is therefore
not effective in local option coun-
ties now and will not be until 90
days has expired following the ad-
journment of the legislature. The
action therefore attacking the
measure may not make its appear
ance for several weeks.

WILL TAKE TEST
CASE TO COURT
State Chemist Will Bring Friendly Ac-
ton in Effort to Secure Salary
Given by Legislature
DECIDE VALIDITY OF VETOES
Attorney General Says Partial Vetoes
Are Not Valid

On the payment of the salary of
State Chemist Jackson is likely to
be decided the question whether
the governor can under the consti-
tuition veto part of an appropriation
made by the legislature and let the
balance of it stand, says the Boise
Statesman. The attorney general
has ruled that he can not do so
and that any appropriation on
which he sought to take such ac-
ton is effective in its entirety.
The question will probably be
brought before the supreme court
when it is reached in due course
and indications are that payment
of Mr.. Jackson S salary will be the
first issue raised.
The legislature appropriated
81 900 for his compensation. The
governor vetoed the entire appro-
priation, with the exception of
$500 to pay him for his services
between January l and the date
the appropriation bill was signed.
In vetoing the balance of the item
the governor said it was his plan
to have Mr.. Jackson employed as a
deputy in the pure food depart
ment.
Mr.. Jackson elected to remain in
his position as state chemist and
await decision on the validity of
the governors action. After Mr..
Jackson has drawn the $500 which
the governor did not question, and
when he attempts to draw more
money, the state auditor will prob
ably refuse to pay him. A friend
ly suit will then be brought. It
will probably be a mandamus pro-
ceeding to compel the auditor to
make the payment.
