TWO-N|LE LIMIT
Law INVOLVED
Appeals Taken to Supreme
Court in Washington
County Cases.

Appeals filed before the supreme
court today in two cases both origin =
ating in Washington county attack
the two-milc limit law and the old
statute covering the grazing of sheer
on cattle land, the constitutlonality OF
which is now pending before the SUI
preme court of the United States Is
the case of the state Of Idaho versus
Amaechevarria wherein the supreme
court of Idaho held the act to be con
stitutional and placed barriers against
invasion by sheep of a cattle range.
The two cases appealed and pend
ing before the supreme court are en-
titled: the state of Idaho versus A. G.
Butterfield which involves the same
issde as the Amaechevarrla case and
the case of J. A. Tarter versus NJ. II
Hand which involves the twp-mile
limit law and attacks it's constitution
ality.
Both cases involve issues of unusual
Importance to the cattle and sheer
men-issues that have been bones OF
contention between them for many
years. Especially is this true since
settlement shave gradually forced the
sheep men into more confined territory
and taken from them much of the free
range which for many years they en-
joyed. They are issues that promise
to come before the Eext legislature and
promise a conflict between these two
industries.
In the Butterfield case it is alleged
that Butterfield in violation of the
law. herded. grazed and pasturec
sheep upon cattle range, or range
commonly classified as such and used
for cattle: that by so doing the range
was ruined for the pasturing of cat
tie. The complaint against Butter
field is brought in the name Of the
state as violation of the statute is
made n misdemeanor. In the Tartel
versus Hand case sheep are charged
TO have been herded within the two
mile limit of a homestead in violation

manitarian in its effect. This law
should have been passed 40 years ago.
The A,damson eight-hour bill is also
a human tariff law. 1t gives the labor
ing man an opportunity to know and

HOW 1T AFFECTS LABOR.

A. w. Laird, general manager of the
| Washington, Idaho & Montana Rail-
way company, tells of the car shortage
situation in northern Idaho and what 1t
means to that territory
THE present car situation is ex-
tremely bad and we are not quite clear
as to the proper method of distributing
empty cars to the shippers along our
line for loading. The principal ship
ments off this line in carload lots con-
sist of lumber. hay and grain, and
| brick, of which 1873 per cent is lumber;
9.5 per cent is hay and grain: 90 per
cent is brick. We are receiving
at the present time orders for empty
cars as follows: % per day for lum-
Der from one shipper; 10 per day for
hay and grain from six shippers; two
per day for brick from one shipper.
The orders for cars for lumber ship
ments average about % ca-5 per day
tire year round.
THE lumber shippers claim there are
997 men dependent on the car supply
for a living. OF this number, they
claim 124 men are Immediately affected
each day the car supply is cut off or
curtailed and these men have depend
ing on them about 24S persons, making
in all 372 persons suffering because of
the lack of cars. They further state
that If this car shortage continues, 1t
will cause the closing OF the sawmill
on account of the lumber yard being
full and will have the effect of throw
ing 355 more men out of employment
who have depending on them about
700 persons, making in all 1853 persons
suffering. Further they state If the
sawmill closes 1t will stop the opera
ton in the woods. thereby throwing
out of work $50 men who have depend
ing on them about 500 other persons.
or a total of 1920. Thus, you will see
1t Is claimed that this car shortage will
affect the lumber business along our
line by causing suffering to over 2400
people, and hence my request for an
immediate ruling as to the proper
method of distributing the empty car
supply receive by US from day to day
