The motion was thus carried, and King
county excepted. Tyler of Pierce moved TO ex-
cent Pierce county also, and the motion was
carried, a matter OF course, IS ayes, 10 nays,
though Garretson had made a hard sight.
Candy represented that spokane was 10 need
OF another judge. That county now has but
one judge. and joint judge with stevens. The
motion to allow spokane additional judge
was carried; 40 ayes. ; nays.
The grant OF a new Judge TO 0kanogau, Doug
las. Adams and Lincoln had previously been de-
MED.
Piummer inserted motion to amend section
9 so that the judge now presiding in the jeffer-
son county district be assigned under the new
apportionmeat TO Snohomish and kitsap.
Sniyeiy discovered the intent of the amend
ment, which was to shut Judge Sachs out of
Jefferson county, and called attention to it.
Pluuner then gracefully Withdrew his notion
Garretson attacked the proposition to give
Clailaln judge alone, but was defeated.
The bill as passed gives Thurston, Clallam
and Klickitat counties each one Judge; Lewis,
Pacific and Wahkiakum one jointly; skagit and
Island one jointly; kitsap aud snohomsh
jointly one, aud spokane county is granted one
additional Judge. Judges heretofore elected
have their districts reduced as follows: klieki-
tat is taken from Yakima and kittitas; Pacific
and wahkiakum are taken from Clarke, ska
mania and Cowiitz; Lewis and Thurston are
taken from Chehalis and Mason: jefferson re-
mains district. clallam becoming also dis
frict, Island being annexed 70 skagit, and Kit
sap being annexed 10 Snohomish the judge of
Whsfconi Skagit and Snohomish becomes judge
of WbatcoIn and san Juan. The seven judges
arc 70 be appointed by the governor.
OF course the Senate may radically change
this apportionment. The matter has been
taeity LEFT TO the House to settle, end all prop
ositions for judgeships have been made 10 the
House Judiciary committee. II may be that the
close vote by which the King county iudgeship
was lost in the House viii encourage revival
of the fight IN the Senate, but its chances of
final success are not good.
The Senate today passed the memorial of SEN
ator Thompson of Walla Waiia, praying congress
TO provide steamboat portage around the OBJ
structioa To navigation on the Columbia river
at the daiios IL reads as follows:
'four Inemoriaiists, the Senate and House OF
Representatives OF the state of Washington,
wonld respectfully memorabilia your honorable
body to ~ once provide for steaniboa portage
around the obstruction to navigation existing at
the dalles aud cascades of the Columbia river;
and.
.-wHRREAs, Captain Eads hns demonstrated
that ocean vessels can be safely transported over
what is known as Eads' ship railway. we re-
spectiuliy suggest to the congress OF the United
states that an open river Is desired by all the
residents OF the Columbia basin and that the re-
lief asked for can be more readily obtained by
the bniiding OF such railway than by any other
mode, and we can safely assure you that the
building OF such ship railway Will Immediately
relieve the farmers OF tho Columbia valley from
their present cause of grievance, and we also
respectfully suggest that the cost of such rail-
way and its operation would not amount TO the
ordinary interest uDou the cost of conjunction
OF system OF locks; and we, your memoriaists,
viii ever play"
The Big Bend county proposition came up in
the House this afternoon. and pTecipitated lot
OF lively fiibustering that finally ended in lay
i1g over the bill till tomorrow. The bill had
been read, and was about TO go 10 final passage,
when some asked about the various petit
tions and other papers that accompanied the
blk The clerk said there was Il petition con-
tanning over aen new names, and Sniyely called
for the reading OF TIA names The House or
dercd the reading. The clerk proceeded 10 read,
and IL soon became nfonntouonS. A motion to
dispense with the reading was, however, de-
feated, and the House forced TO submit.

were made and voted down, and the clerk con
tinued. Finally the yeas aud nays were called
on motion 20 adjourn, and the House ad-
journed pending the reading.
