No wonder the Indians reverence
the beautiful Yosemite Falls. Even
the white settlers in the valley can
not resist their influence, but speak
of them with an admiration that
amounts to love. At the base of the
great fall the fairies build a real ice
palace, sometimes more than one
hundred feet high. 1t is formed by
the ever falling, freezing spray, and
the bright sun CLEANS on this gilt
tsring palace of crystal, and the fall
ing water, striking upon it shoots of
in showers, like myriad opals and
diamonds. But when first I beheld
them, on bright May morning, not
an icicle remained, and the falls
were in their glory. I had never
dreamed of anything 30 lovely. Az
seen from below, the Yosemite,
though divided into three distinci
falls, is apparently al on one plane.

THE LUXURY OF LAW.
How 1t Costs to Try Innocent
Souls.
A Double Clog Dance Over the
Justices Bills.
The County Kicks and Nc Do the
Justices.

One Of the most unsatisfactory piece
of work for the county board to per
form Is the auditing and allowing thu
fee bills of justices, oonstables, etc.
On the one hand the board seems tc
take 1t for granted that all the feet
possible will be taxed up, and seemi
determined to cut down the bills any.
way, no matter what they call for. On
the other hand, those who present the
bills seem to be equally firm In the be-.
lief that the county board will cut of
about 90 much anyway, and 40 put In
enough fees and CHARGES to allow for
this.
At the session of the board Just
closed, there was much cutting and
slashing of these fee bills. Some
pretty hot feeling has been caused
among the claimants, especially be.
cause the county attorney, after
the adjournment Of the board, Ia
said to have cut down the
bills still further. The BEE is not
an auditing board to determine 90 to
the justice or injustice of these bills
and their cutting down, but In look
Ing over some of the official reports,
a few facts were cleaned which will
prove OF interest, especially to those
who have little idea' of how much of
a luxury law Is.
These bills are Of course for Grim.
inal cases, the civil business being
the Justices peculiarly private matter.
One thing that strikes anyone who
looks over the bills presented by the
justices not only of the city, but Of
the county, Is the small percentage
Of convictions. Either the officers
make some very foolish arrests, or
else prosecuting witnesses are given
to horrible lying, or else the law Is
full of loop.holes. A few figures to
illustrate: The report Of one Justice
shows that out Of 38 arrests only
IL were fined, bound over, or
gave bonds to keep the peace, the
other 26 being discharged, or the
cases dismissed without trial. An
other report shows that out of
eighteen cases there WAS only one
conviction, and still another that cut
o. % arrests all but 8 were discharged
or the cases dismissed.
What does 1t cost to try q case2 As
n instance out of hundreds, the fees
allowed by law being not above aa or.
binary bill. THE BEE selects the fol-
lowing, 1t not being an extreme case,
but a simple drunk, and he not found
guilty, but discharged. This Is what
Ii costs the county:

EVERY part of the Northern
Pacific Railroad has been paid for
by the United States, says the
New York Star. That is to say,
the value of the land under the
grant OF congress will realize more
than the road has cost. Supposisg
this to be true, what value would
the land have had without the
road? How long before such
towns as Fargo, Moorhead, Bis
marck and Mandan would have
been in existence, and what valne
would the lands of the Red River
belt have had, with no market for
their produce? If the road has
helped the value of the land
owned by the road, has it not also
helped the value of the alternate
sections reserved and owned by
the government?
The Daily Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Or.) 1876-1883, 1883-09-25

n. w. AVER & Sons news
paper animal for 1883, gives a
good general idea of the news
paper business of the United
States, and contains good deal of
general information Of use and
value. Its publishers direct at
tention to its merits, but great
deal can be learned indirectly by a
perusal of the work. Some one
has said that contrast is resemb-
lance with the addition of a mega
tive. One realizes the full force
of the aphorism on noticing
among the statistics before US,
counties in Texas with a popuIa-
ton of 10000 and no newspaper
in the county limits, while in the
west and northwest, counties with
a population of 5000 support an
exponent Of civilization and pro-
gress.
