eall Hpon our next Legislature, wh0eTsl

III We believe this Law 70 be continual
violated, and re recommend to 1
officers that they be VigilAnt and impal

We have also visited the Orphan
Home, which made Q very favorabl
impression upon this body. We kno
thai too much cannot be said in favor I
, that praiseWorthy institution. We foan
ali the rooms and beds olsan and con
: Portable and the general care commens
: able. We earnestly recommend Cd
Home 10 the consideration Of the Count
Commissioners and she public in ger
eral. We also visited Providence Hos
pital and found twenty patients count
. charges from King osunIy and eigt
from kitsap cOunty. In every case II
teFFieUed the expression was In tern
OF the highest praise Of their treai
ment, and en- investigation We foun
their quarters and beds comfortabl
and clean.
Complaint vas laid before our bod
Of 9 nuisance being committed IN Ceda
river BY the Cedar Mountain Coal Con
pany. A committee Of one from on
body visited the mine, and We have e.
amIBed quite a number Of witnesses
concerning this charge, four Of who's
are scieDtlfio men, oae being Inspeoto
Of Ceal Mines.
The mine owners are dumping on
daily several tons Of slack coal and othe
refuse material frem their mine into q
bed Of Cedar river, and are thus no
only damming up said river ct the plac
Of dumping, bus are filing up the be.
Of the stream BY the Washing down o

thsFeby rendering il less pure below th
mfne, and less &C for use for families r.
siding along said river, many Of whom
look 90 said river as their only scarce o
supply.
| Evidence has also been given befor
as tending 20 prove that the wells aienl
the route Of said stream are very inin
siously affected By this poisoning thl
