The court records show that on Tues
day last a suit was filed hy Albert Ho-
gan, attorney for the Spokane & Pa
louise, against c. J. Smith, asking to
have strip of land along Snake river
condemned that the Spokane 4 Palouse
might use it for depot grounds. The
complaint specifies strip 200 feet wide
and containing l6 acres. What can the
Spokane & Palouse want with depot
grounds on Snake river above Cox's
addition, is the query? But not being
an expert in solving railroad riddles,
