Mr.. Randall. "The people who are

that some remonstrances had been
received. A great many Of the
members were Indifferent In the
matter, and had.no remonstrances
been sent In the bill would certainly
have passed. understand that
your people are now taking some in
terest In the matter and are forward
ing numerous circumstances, and
this may prevent the passage Of ths
bill.n
"Is the bill providing additional
superior judges for the counties Of
Spokane and Stevens, Pierce and
King, likely TO pass?"
~ think 1t will, for the reason
that the cities Of Spokane Falls,
Seattle and Tacoma have the largest
delegations, II for no other. Whit
man county's delegation, too, Is in
cllned TO favor the measure"
"How are the spokane county
delegation getting along?" queried
the reporter.
"Oh, they're doing very well,v
said Mr.. Randall. "rhey have
gained the reputation Of having
never voted together but once, and
that was on the code bill. They all
voted solldly against giving the job

Mr.. Randall has q hne farm at

was unnecessary to go further. The
special accordingly was taken back to
the locks, and the construction started
out again to clear away the slide. The
train was made up of tho engine and
tender and one Caboose. In the caboose
were about thirty men with their shoyels,
pick.aIes and other tools usually cm-
ploycd in clearing away creeks or land
slides. As the bridge had been III
spected only about half an hour before,
II was thought to be perfectly safe.
The engine had pas sed a little beyond
the center of the bridge when two bonts
gave way, letting the caboose down into
the creek some thirty five feet below.
The cabOose struck on end and tho ten

A PROPOSED RAILROAD CHANGE.
Dayton Inlandcr; At meeting
of the board of trade on Friday last
n committee was appointed to corrc-
spond with Manager G, j. Smith, Of
the Union Pacific, in regard to the
company's line from Dayton to some
point on the POmeroy branch In
this county. The board had been
led To believe that the company
would fully consider the matter.
The company would then abandon
the Alto branch for all through
Traffic and avoid the trcachcrous
Alto hill. The advantage to Dayton
would result from being on n
thrhugh line. A glance at the
county map will show that the
greater distance would lie but a very
few miles.
