The CHARTER. It will be remembers
ed, that some time, the city govern
ment of Seattle gave to the Coal and
Transportation Company right of way
through the city. Some parties living
along the line of the road, feeling that
their rights had been infringed upon,
brought suit at the last term of District
Court to set aside the action of the City
Council. The Court granted their prayer
but the parties now claim that Judge
Lewis had decided the city charter to
be illegal and worthless. Judge Lewis
did nothing of the sort. He merely de-
cided that the Council exceeded the
20 oxers delegated to them by the Terri
torial Legislature. in granting this right
OF way without providing compensation
for damages to private property.

does not think it is worth while to adj
vertise in any papers save those of Port
land. Our idea is that Seattle can buy
her goods cheaper then Portland and
hence can sell them for less. Hence the
agent would have dcne we'll to adver.

dates.

Lewis rendered his decision in the case
of Mr.. Phelps against the steamer City

the lady $1,000 damages. the general
