FEDERAL FORESTRY

prOyement-AmOunt Same as Last
Year.

OGDEN-Announcement is at o.
den headquarters of the forest ser
vice that the secretary of agriculture
has approved the allotment of fun IL
for the second year under Section 8
of the federal aid road act.
Under this section of the law, the
sum of S1O0OO,0OO is appropriated to
be expended in ten yearly install
ments, in cooperation with the state
and counties, for the construction and
maintenance of roads and trails with
in or partly within the national for
ests
Under the allotment for the fiscal
year beginning July L, 1917, Idaho re
ceives S10S,730; Utah S41.167, and
Nevada s19,296. These amounts arc
practically equal to those allotted t.
these states during the present fis-
cal year.

ferent situation from that found in tde
districts of almost complete soil dc.
pletion heretofore referred to; but the
constant drain from agricultural pro-
duction without fertilizing return, will
pauperize any soil. So said the speak
er with amplification and illustration
galore-deducting the conclusion that
even this community, while not aban-
doning it's grains, seeds, frit and roots,
to insure permanent fertility needs
the dairy COW and the animal husban-
dry into which she leads. Why said
he, alfalfa is worth $25 per ton when
turned into dairy products, and the
land is kept fertilized but when you
ship it away for 81 to SIS per ton, each
ton so shipped carries with it over
nine dollars worth of actual fertility
lost to the soil unless otherwise re-
turned
Admitting the inability to buy COWS
on the part of many, if not most, Of
those who would be glad to undertake
dairying, the speaker unfolded his
plan to assist, which was. briefly
stated, as follows: Take county,
or better a district of several coun-
ties. and organize an association. Hay
ing first raised a comparatively small
sum for working capital experts
would be hired to select the cows
which would be placed with previous
ly selected farmers, the association
securing them credit with the bankers
and the experts showing how to
handle both COWS and their product
In Missouri and other places
where tried this plan has proved a
great success; and either with it or in
default of it, he strongly recOmmended
the forming of calf clubs among the
boys
At the conclusion of the address,
the chairman called on Mr. Willitt
Hance, of the Lincoln Produce, to ex-
plain local needs in the matter under
onsideratiOn. Mr. Hance said it was
surprising how little cream could be
procured within a working radius If
this city-not enough, he added, TO
make ice cream for local cOnsump-
ton. He said this made it difficu t
to keep up the standard of quality
butter, cited the efforts of the Boise
Commercial club in this direction and
concluded that there was nothing to
lose and all to gain by an attempt to
better dairy conditions along the lines
laid down.
Mr.. J. II. Van Tassel, of the Sterl-
ing Dairy and Produce company, in re-
Spouse to call, declared that no selfish

HUSTON BOND SUBJECT
TO SUIT ON LOANS

BOSE-The state land board Fri
day directed Attorney General T. A.
Walters to bring suit on the S1O,-
600 bond of Fred L. Huston, former
state auditor The attorney general
was ordered and directed to gaJher
the records of the former land boards
proceedings with regard to the alleg-
ed Huston dummy" loan and upon
this record the suit will be instituted.
In taking the action it did the land
board echoed an incident that played
no unimportant part in the last po-
litical campaign. The so-called Hus-
ton loan exposure created a mild SEN
sation at the time. The former state
auditor secured a $4,000 loan on GER
tain farms lands in Bonneville county
but at the time the loan was made the
board was not aware of the fact that
the lands had belonged to the former
state auditor, who was then mem
Der of the board and that they were
then in process of transfer to Luther
A. Huston, his father. and p. w Will
liams
It was claimed that part of the land
had been personally appraised by tile
former state auditor and part by

Cannot Annex The
Owyhee townships

Declaring that any effort to annex
any part of Owyhee county without
submitting the matter to a vote OF
the people of the districts interested
at a general election would be uncon-
stitutional, Attorney c. NJ. Booth, WHO
was engaged by the Commercial club
to draft bill for the purpose of an
nexing the territory along the Jar
bidge road from the Twin Falls cOun-
ty line to the Nevada state line, in a
formal opinion Saturday resigned the
work. In his written opinion Mr..
Booth said:
in connection with the proposed
annexation of portion of Owyhee
county to Twin Falls county, you are
advised that / have discovered a legal
obstacle that will prevent valid legis-
lation on this subject during the pres
ent session of the legislature.
'As l was requested to prepare the
proposed bill on this subject, l am
writing you and the members of the
legislature from this county to advi' e
you and those interested of the exist
ing legal objections to the annexation
plan.
THE first paragraph of section ,,
article IS, of the constitution of the
state of Idaho provides:
No county shall be divided unless
a majority of the qualified electors
of the territory proposed to be cut off,
voting on the proposition at a general
election, shall vote in favor of such
division: Provided, that this. section
shall not apply to the creation of
new counties
This constitutional provision was
carefully and extensively considered,
construed and applied by the supreme
court of this state in the case entitl cd
People ex rel. Lincoln County VS..
George, reported in Idaho at page
70 (26 Pac Rep. 9S3).
1.-THE question involved in that case
was stated by the court: Can por-
ton of the territory of one county be
cut off and attached to another with
out a vote of the people residing in
the segregated portion"
1.-THE court then quotes the first par
agraph of the constitutional provi-
sion above referred to and concludes
its decision with this positive Ian
guage:
"'To cut off portion of any county
and attach the part thus detached to
another county without a vote of the
whole people in the segregated part
would be in direct violation of the
clause referred to, and therefore void
"The constitutional inhibition
The twice-a-week Twin Falls times. (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1916-1918, 1917-01-09

against annexing a portion of one
county to another county without the
necessary vote at q general election
in the territory to be annexed directly
applies to the proposd plan to annex
a part of Owyhee county to Twin Falls
county.
THE proposition to so do was not
submitted to the people of the proposed
territory at the general election just
held, and must be submitted at such
election before the necessary legisla-
tive act would be constitutional and
valid
"Of course. I am personally sorr.-
that this plan cannot be carried out at
this time. but it would be merely q
waste of time to attempt it in view of
the unequivOcal terms above set
forth"

X PRAYER FOR THE DEPARTED

If there is one thing that We desire to do more than another, it is to relieve others from annoyances who cannot help themselves. It is so annoying to be annoyed that We herewith enter protest against perfect annoying nus- ance.
 If we ever leave this beautiful world where everybody Is our friend and have no enemies; and our friends plant us like the rest of the de- parted it is our desire now that wherever it may be. that there be no bulls. cows or calves allowed b tramp over our resting place. Provided always that 8 fence can be erected. because when we lay down to rest. we shall want to rest: that's all.
 n the first place we believe that an ever lasting resting place should be fenced in so as to keep animals from walking over the graves as g measure of precaution if nothing else that when the last judgment comes and we are told to rise. no dogeone animal shall hold us down It may be imagination but We feel it duty to protest against the practice Of allowing animals to roam over the resting place of so many of our departed friends and we suggest that fence be forthwith erected.
