OUTSIDERS MAY
COMPETE FOR PRIZES

The directors of the Bear Lake
County Fair association have decided
to permit citizens from Star valley.
Cokeville, Soda Springs, Garden City
and Laketown to bring exhibits and
compete for prizes at the fair which
will be held at Paris Sept. %. 20
and 80. Heretofore the privilege Of
competing for cash prizes has been
confined to Bear Lake county people.
This new departure will doubtless
stimulate interest In the fair. Pete
Olson of Cokeville has already an
nounced that he will exhibit some of
his fine stock at the fair. and now
that they can compete for prizes 1t
is likely that some of the stock men
of Star valley will be on hand with a
showing of some of the prize win
ners at the Alton fair, which is to
be held next week.
The judges for live stock will be
competent men from either Logan
or the Idaho state university. which
insures that all prizes will be award
ed strictly on the merits Of the stock
It is the intention of the fair direct
ors to make the judging Of live stock
an educational feature by having the
judges explain to the fair visitor
the points on which the various ami
mails are awarded prizes.
As has been stated before, a coun
ty fair cannot be made a success un
less the people exhibit their live stccI
and agricultural products. It 4
therefore up to the people OF Bea
Lake county to get busy. II yol
have good stock. good grain, vegeta
bIes or fruit show them to the pub
lie at the county fair.

band having died several years ago

Idaho's amendatory local option
law. said to be one of the most strin-
gent in the United States. operative
now in prohibition Countiesan which
win apply to this state as whole on
and after Jan. 1. 1916. is constitu-
tional in every form. This is the
sweeping ruling Of the supreme court
Of this state in q decision handed
down last Saturday. It is held to
be not in contravention of Sec. of
the fourteenth amendment TO the
federal constitution, its title is not
defective, each and every part Of it
comes within the subject Of general
legislation, it does not prohibit sur
geons, physicians, dentists or hospi-
tails from using pure alcohol for me-
dicinal purposes as contended and
prohibition districts do not now have
to vote on its adoption, says the
collrt.
The decision is on the application
of Edward Crane Of Latah county to
secure writ Of habeas corpus for
his release from Jail there on the
charge Of having liquor in his pos
session, which the law prohibits. The
writ is quashed and Crane remanded
to the custody Of the sheriff. He
failed to give bail after his arrest
and was turned over to that official.
It was afterwards that he filed the
petition for writ Of habeas cor.
pus. An appeal was taken to make
a test case on the cOnstitutionality OF
theiaw.
The opinion is rendered by the
court as a whole, representing the
unanimous findings Of the three jus
tees. The syllabus Of the opinion
follows:
/. Chapter IL. session laws, 1915
providing, among other things that
It ahall be unlawful for any person

those objects; and is therefore rea-
sonable exercise Of the police power
of the state.
2. The object Of the title OF an
act is to give a general statement of
the subject matter, and such gen
eral statement will be sufficient to
include all provisions of the act hav-
ing a reasonable connection with the
subject matter mentioned and a rea-
sonable tendency to accomplish its
purpose. It ia sufficient If the act
treats Of but one general subject
and that subject is expressed in the
title.
8. Held, that chapter III, session
laws, 1915. is not in conflict with ar
ticle 8, section 16 of the constitution,
and is not, therefore, unconstitution-
al or void.
A. Said chapter is Of general ap-

Of county commissioners, or munici-

tions. 1t il, therefore, neither a To-
cal nor a special act, but a general
law and not in conflict with section
19, article 8 of the constitution.
5. The chapter expressly provides
for the purchase and possession of
pure alcohol to be used for scientific
purposes. Held, that the practice
of medicine, surgery, dentistry and
dental surgery are sciences, and that
pure alcohol may be lawfully pro-
tcured under the terms of the law in
question in the manner provided
therein for use in the practice Of
these professions or for any other
scientific purposes.

Boise. Sept. 13.-In political cir
cles. the stock Of Charles L. Heit-
man, Of Rathdrnm, former chairman
Of the republican state central com.
mittee and recognized leader Of THE
drys' in Idaho. assumed large pro-
portions as the next gubarnatorial
nominee Of his party as a conse-
guence Of the decision handed down
in the state supreme court the latter
part Of last week, holding that the
strenuous prohibition law enacted by
the last legislature and known as
Senate Bill No. 50'' to be constitu-
tional. In its essentials. the bill was
drafted by Heitman who spent q

there could b. no question OF its
