JONES VS.. JONES.

The agricultural college injunction
granted by Judge Campbell, Of Tacoma,
has been knocked out, at least tempo
rarily, by the supreme court Of the state,
the opinion being written by Judge R. o.
Dunbar, Judge Hoyt dissenting. The
opinion was to the effect that taxpayer,
who has no more than 4 community in
terest In a matter which concerns the gen.
eral public, can not suspend the workings
Of q state department. and that public
policy will not permit it; and in closing,
Judge Dunbar says:
'This court, untrammeled by precedent
or authority In laying down q policy foI
this state, deems II safer to Felegate the
instituting Of suits involving the dispo-
sitiol a the revenue Of the state, where
no private interests are involved, to the
Judgment and discretion Of the attorney
general With this view Of the case, it Is
not necessary TO examine other alleged
errors"
The case was brought before the su-
preme court on the filing Of demurrer
by the attorneys Of Pullman to the de
cision Of Judge Campbell. Attorney Cen
eral Jones was actively in the case, but
in what capacity ii is hardly worth while
to ask. He certainly didn't appear for

would undoubtedly reveal that he was

IS view Of the recent record smashing
Il may be interesting to recall some Of the
notable by-gOne performances Of horses
on the American trotting list, where the
time was better than 30, papers not be-

Highland Maid, same year, both in ~ !;
O'Blennis, 1855, 2:27l4; Ethan Allen,

2:26i<; Brown Dick, 1859. 2:25I4 and
Flora Temple, same year, 2;l914-a re-
cord which created unexampled admira-
ton. Ethan Allen In 1850 lowered his
record TO 2:25IS; and it was not
until 1857 that Dexter reduced the
time 10 2:17I<, then drought to be the
untima thule Of the trotter. In fact these
figures were not improved for seven years
-or until the advent Of Goldsmith Maid
1874 in 2:l4. But to 20 back, in the year
1863, Lady Thorn trotted in 2:1sll /;
Mountain Boy in 2:2l1 George Palmer
in 2:2l%; George Wilkes in 2 -; in 1869
American Girl In 2:l9 and Goldsmith
Maid in 2:Io6. In 1874, as above men.
toned, Goldsmith Maid trutted in 2:I4,
and American Girl in 2:I6Is. In 1876
Lulu made 1t in 2:I5A and in 1875
smuggler in 2:l5Is. 10 1873 Rarus re-
duced the record TO 2:l3t{, and in 1879
81. Julien transcribed all Of his pre-
decessors by bringing the time down to
2:l234. The next decade was more pro-
life Of fast trotters. st. Julien reduced his
time in 1850 to anu; Trinket made It

RESIDENCE DESTROYED ny FIRR.-The
residence Of Orlando Beck, in the north
ern part Of the city, was destroyed by fire
Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Beck was ct
home at the time nursing a sick child,
and had kindled fire in the front room,
where the fire must have started, as no
other cause can be assigned. The fire
department was promptly at hand, but
the flames had gained such Roadway that
the only service that could be rendered
was to protect the out buildings. Mr.. Beck
estimates his loss at upwards Of 5000,
but carried an insurance Of 81 900 on the
house and 800 on the furniture. Some
household goods were saved, but the more
valuable furniture was consumed.
YAKIMA HOPs HAVE No EoUAL.-Some
time ago A. b. Weed sent TO London,
England, the first sample Of Yakima
hops that ever went direct from this
place, and on Monday he received q let
ter from q prominent firm Of hop brokers,
from which THE HERALD takes the fol-
lowing literal extract: THE sample you
sent Us is certainly the best hop we have
ever seen from Washington state, and, II
that is a specimen Of the average, your
growers will do we'll on our market. T"
Mr.. Weed is very much pleased with this
high praise Of the Yakima hop, as Il
strengthens him in the belief that Yak
lima will, at no very distant day. be the
center Of this great industry.
