The purpose of Rotch's bill, is to pro-
vide for the equitable adjustment OF all
differences that may arts: between mill
men and lOggers rs to the measurement of
lors There is a law now on the statute
books, passed in 1881, on the same sub
icct that is imperative. 1t was held I'M
constitutional because all logging con-
tracts between loggerf and miIlmcn are
declared void wherein the logs have not
been scaled by an inspector appointed by
The governor. The new bill provides that
four inspectors shall be appointed by tie
governor, each from an inspection dis
trict. An inspector, on the request Of
both parties shall scale any bonn, brazil,
or raft of logs, and his scale shall be
prima face evidence ia any dispute that
may arise The bill was submitted to
logging and mill-nlcn in the house by
Rotch, and was approved by them. 1t is
drafted somewhat after the Wisconsin
law, which is said to have worked very
satisfactorily for many years.-P.-I.

1t is reported that Senator Kueeland
will introduce a bill into the Legislature
for the prevention Of aliens from buying
and holding real estate il Washington. "
1t would be good idea, if the foreign
class Of people could be debarred from
buying up lands, Or other properties in
rye quantities. On the other hand there
are many aliens in the United States, resi-.
who have rights. While ii is the inten.
lion OF the government to have all for
eignerS who come TO our shores become
na,uraliZed citizens, many do not do so at
once. Foreign capital should be restrict
ed in a measure at least, lest we have 'for-
eign taskmaSlers, .or IL taste of Irish land
lordism, such as was attempted in Him
ois not long ago.

road employe refused 10 give his name,
and abused the assessor, who caused his
arrest. A justice fined him SIS, and com
mittcd him to jail in default of the money.

got 81. Judge Calkins, before whom the
case WAS tried, held that man need not
