The legislative session, from present
appearances, is drawing to close, not
because the business is finished, but
the members are becoming tired Of
their "boy's play" and decidedly
home-sick. 1t will not be surprising
if the LIST Of April is chosen for the
farewell parting.

The contract has been closed for the
location of a large sawmill and sash
and door factory at Geneva Lake,
Whatcom county. The mill will en-
ploy about fifty men. The builders
calculate to spend about $25, 200 on
the plant and commence saving on
the 18th of April. The company has
deposited money in the First National

the company, and the new mill will be
located thereon.

Cooperative Colony, which was incor-
porated in May, 1887, have begun a
suit in the Superior Court of Cha liam
county against the board of dir ectors
of the corporation, praying the court
to dissolve the corporation, wind up
its affairs and appoint a receiver. The
complaint OF the stockholders alleges
that the present board of directors Sc
cured their ele ction by fraud, by the
votes Of bogus stockholders, and that
they had grossly mismanaged the af-
fairs of the colony. The case involves
over s25O,OOO worth of property about
Port Angeles.
The local land Office at Walla Walla
has received a decision in the con-
tested land case of Mrs. Jennie Routh,
formerly Miss Jennie Fine, of Asotin
county, from the Commissioner OF the

must get her homestead filings on
record in the local land office before
marrying, in order to make legal en-
try" Miss Fine, now Mrs. Routh,
married just after executing her home
stead application. The clerk of the
court of Asotin did not wait until the
application arrived at the local land
office, and was placed on record, hence
it is cancelled as illegal.

The Portland daily press., 1890-02-01

AT 610 a. m. yesterday there was an alarm
of fire from box a. On the arrival of tn,
department fire was seen above the roofs al
the lower end of Franklin street. The fire
was in the herring curing establishment Of
David Wyer & Son, in the rear of No. 20.
Franklin street 1t originated in partition
between two sections of the curing shop and
burned off part of the elevated wood, also
burning through the rear wall of the build
ing. There is no doubt but that it was
caused by too much fire in the smudge box
The total damage to the building and con-
tents is perhaps $50, uninsured. Mr.. Wyel
has his roof repaired already and will be
eady for more fish in day or two.

She then described the subsequent events,

caused by the operation. Mr.. Meaher
asked DR.. Smith if there was not
lung trouble that might have led to fatal
termination but the doctor said the lungs
were In as good condition as any ordinary
persons lungs ever were.
The government rested its case at the close
of DR.. Smiths testimony, and Mr. Meaher
addressed the court in behalf of his client.
The court found probable cause against
the prisoner on both complaints, and on the
complaint charging him with procuring an
abortion he was ordered to recognize with
sureties In the sum of 5000 for his appear

Although the horses, and consequently the
members of the fire department have been
relieved from work in the street department,
one of the fire engineers is the only man in
town who seems to be willing to sand the
sidewalks. This man, who lives within 40
miles of MuDjoy street, having seen several
ladies measure their length on a certain icy
bit of sidewalk on Congress street, resolved
to cure that particular evil. He procured a
mittenfull of sand and scattered it
over the ice so effectually that nobody
has fallen there since. If every citizen
would follow this mans example and sand
their own or somebody's else strip of side
walk, there would be fewer falls and less
