General Approval of the Democr ratio
Ticket-The Registration Too Severe.
BOULDER, August 2S.-[Correspondence
of The Miner 1.-The ticket nominated aud
the platform OF principles enunciated by
the Democratic convention at Anaconda,
are received by the Democrats OF Jefferson
county with expressions OF the most en-
thusiastic approval and pledges OF heart
lest support. The presence on the ticket
OF Toole for governor, Maginnis for congress
and Pemberton for attorney general. are
particularly regarded as towers OF strength,
while the entire ticket is considered one of
remarkable unity and harmony.
The local and county nominations are
generally highly commended by Democrats
and Republicans alike. and the former are
confident that all the conditions are favor
able Tor permanently and decisively placing
Jefferson county in the Democratic column
this fall On the county ticket Dodley Hal
ford for sheriff, and M. Fl. Parker for coun-
ty attorney are conceded winners. j. j.
McCay for county commissioner is also ex-
pected to make q strong run. He is not
for a number of years identified with terri
torial politics, and is deservedly popular
with all classes.
Registration is progressing only fairly
well, and the fact is only demonstrated that
tho new registry law is too rigid in it's re-
quirements to be applied to the country
precincts. An orgsnized effort on the part
of the county central committee to encour-
ago registration is needed.
District court will be convened next week
by Chief Justice Blake. There is a heavy
civil docket to be disposed ofaside from the
criminal calendar and grand jury cases. A
number of the civil cases were crowded over
from the last term by the Bryson and
Walker murder trials and other criminal
matters.

called attention to the fact that the men
were not charged merely with Joint murder,
out with conspiring to murder, which had
q decided bearing on the question Of sepa-
rate trials.
Judge Longenecker argued at some length
why separate trial could not be granted,
and was followed by Attorney Forrest
representing ex-detective Coughlin.
The court then adjourned until to-mor-
row.
Tinsmith Klare, who soldered for Martin
Burke the tin box supposed to contain DR..

WILSON'S SENSIBLE views.
Too Many Courts and too Great Power of
Corporations and United States Courts.

Too Many Courts and too Great Power of
Corporations and United States Courts.
CHICAGO, August 29.-In the meeting of
the National Bar Association, to-day, Mr..
Smith OF Pennsylvania introduced resolu-
tion to the effect that the association favor
the establishment Of an intermediate ap-
pelate court to relieve the glut in the su-
preme court.
Wilson OF Minnesota said there was no
necessity for such intermediate court, and
that the evil at present lay in too great
power possessed by soulless corporations
in appealing cases to federal courts, the OBJ
ject OF which, the speaker said, was to wear
out itigants. Our state courts should
have more, and federal be restricted in
their Jurisdiction.
The Hon. Lyman Trumbull of Illinois,
supported the remarks OF Wilson, and
urged that return To Che law of 1889,
which restricted the Jurisdiction of the fed
eral courts to single states, be made.
The matter was warmly discussed and
finally postponed until the evening session.

Peculiarities of the Puget Sound Country

One of the disadvantages OF conducting q
newspaper on Puget Sound in midsummer,
says the Tacoma Ledger" is that the edi-
tor has no snake stories to publish. In
nearly all OF the newspapers east Of the
Cascades there are numerous local snake
stories, and even the Century Magazine
devotes an article in it's August number to
snakes. There are no snakes worth men
tioning around Puget Sound. Indeed, that
region is exceptionally free from all sorts of
noxious things. There are no venomous
reptiles and very few, il any poisonous
plants.

A Branch of the Northern Pacific From
Desmidt to the Ceur d'Alene Country.

MIssoULA, August 29.-[Special to The
Miner. There has been unusual activity
in real estate circles here for the past day
or two. 1t has resently been discovered
that the Northern Pacific railroad will, in
the next few days, begin the construction
OF thirty.fve miles Of road, beginning at
Desmidt, point on the main line of the
road about twelve miles west OF Missoula
and run down the Missoula river.
The road is intended to penetrate the
Ceur d'Alene country, but it is understood
that only about thirty-five miles will be
constructed this year.
Four contractors have already gone out
to look over the road, and to-day Nelson
Bennett OF Portland arrived, presumably
to look over the ground with view of
bidding on the work. Engineer corps are
being organized here, and the construction
seems to be NO longer doubt.
