LATAH AND CLEARWATER
NOW SEPARATE DISTRICT
Governor Signs Measure Creating Tenth Judicial
District from Lewis, Nezperce and Idaho COun-
ties-New Judge to Be Appointed.

The Tenth judicial district bill,
creating a new district from Nez
Perce, Idaho and Lewis counties,
which are now part of the Second
district presided over by Judge Edgar
c.. Steele, was signed by Governor
Alexander yesterday, according to
word received this morning from
Boise by Secretary Scott Ogden of the
chamber of commerce. No appoint
ment of judge has been made, but
Governor Alexander is expected to
make his choice within few days. 1t
is understood that candidates for the
position include Charles Mcdonald of
Lewiston, F. E. Fogg of Nezperce,
and Wallace N. Scales of Grangeville.
The Second district will now in
clude Latah and Clearwater counties
and also Selway county should its
creation be authorized by vote to
be taken under the enabling act.
Judge Steele will continue to preside
in this district.
Judge Steele has discontinued court
at Lewiston, awaiting orders from
Governor Alexander or until an ap-
pointment of judge is made for the
Tenth district, his jurisdiction having
been automatically removed by the en-
actment of the Tenth judicial district
bill. The measure carried IN emerg-
ency clause making it operative up-
on approval by the governor.

Judge Steele yesterday, commenting
upon the creation of the Tenth jul

the situation and can find no amend
ment to the constitutional provision

tive five days after being presented
to the governor for signature, if he
does not veto it. 1t seems this Jaw
becomes effective at IL o'clock to-

court affairs of Nez Perce, Lewis and
Idaho counties passes to ether hands, |

of the court session yesterday, be- |
came reminiscent dealing with his
nineteen years service in. the Second |

during his service between e.0Oo and /
10000 cases have been heard by him;
he has granted perhaps 1000 to +
10000 divorces and he has given sen
tence to no less than $50 people con-
victed of felonies-
The cases filed in Mez Perce county
alone since the judge assumed the
bench number over 5000. The new
cases filed in the district during 1915
numbered over $50. Nez Perez coun
ty has always provided the bulk oil
litigation.
"Latah county usually rams" said
the Judge, about 140 to $50 new cases
a year, and Idaho county about l50

years there has been very slight mod
fication from those figures-it seems
