Acting Governor Langhton today ap-
pointed J. q. Moore, of Spokane, superior
Judge Of Spokane county,.
Today Lieutenant Governor Laughton is
giving his entire attention to the DISPOSE
nd x.rkS \
senate Dill 1873, to amend section 2 of the
municipal Incorporation act, relative to
the issuance of bonds for internal i'm
Provement; Senate bill 1872, to amend the
law relative to courts in cities, SO that
spokane Falls may have a municipal
court, and Senate bill SOL, regulating the
appropriation of water from streams and
lakes for irrigation, milling, mining and
other purposes.
Governor Laughton's severest trial has
been to make selections for the newly
created judgeships. If he could have ap-
pointed them all he would have had an
army powerful enough to cope with Gov
ernor Ferry's celebrated notarial corps.
Inc contest for the supreme iudgeship of
Skagit county has been particularly sharp.
The outcome of it is the survival of Mr..
Moore and H. Mcbride, between whom
hnai choice seems to lie. Judge Denny
has taken the oath of Office as Judge Of
Snohomish district
The governor has ended the lively COM
motion over the Office of inspector Of tim
Der for the lower Sound country by an
nouncing his intention to re-appoint E.
McTaggart, of Utsalady. He has held the
once Tor some years, and there was very
little to urge against his continuance in
Office except that It would continue him in
office when others thought it should be
little more rotatory in its incumbency.
Representative Mcclure, Of Lewis coun-
ty, who was compelled by illness to leave
here some days before the close of the ses-
sion, is said to be likely to succumb to
heart disease. He is very i'll and there is
little hope of his recovery.
President Eugene T. Wilson, of the
Senate, intends to make visit to Seattle
before he returns to his home in Ellcns-
burg.
