State Board or Trade.
DR.. g. y. Calhoun, Of In Conner, prcsi-
dent Of the State Board Of Trade, was at
the Rainier hotel yesterday. having come
to the city to attend the meeting of the
executive committee Of the board. I'VE
expect, said he. 'sto do good work a.
soon IS We get organized and fairly rum
ming. ! think, too. We shall have . good
support from all parts Of the state. The
local boards have been little slow about
giving the organization their help, but
they are coming in now in way that is
very grstifying. Some Of the boards
wanted to stand ont and see if the state
board was going 70 be . success, but it
evidently would not be . success were they
all to follow this course.
I'VE shall aim TO give accurate informa-
ton concerning ali parts of the state, and
We shall make it point not to overstate
the facts; for our resources are great
enough without exaggeration. A it Is,
people used to growing ton and half OF
hay on an acre, will hardly believe that in
every part of this state i've tons can be
cut; and those who never see trees over
forty feet high Will be slow to accept the
statement that our trees are 500 feet high.
THAT reminds me Of story they tell of
Judge Orange Jacobs when he was dele
gate to congress. He was urging more
liberal allowance for surveys of land, be-
cause men could not be found to make the
surveys at the government rates. He said
that the surveyors could hardly get
through our forests, which were like
tropical jungles, with trees 100 feet high.
s.Some one near him said in an under
tone, oh. take OF . few feetr

GAMBLING Law ATTACKED.

Poker Player Attorney Claims IL II
Contrary Ia the Charter.
Most of the afternoon was occupied in
Judge Rivers municipal court yesterday
BY the argument Of demurrer TO q COM
plant against eight young men caught
gambling in Beede's cafe on Monday night.
The complaint was made out under the
provisions of city ordinance No. 800, which
provides for the punishment of gaming
and ffty-three other enumerated misde-
meanors. The defendants through their
attorney, John Wiley, demurred to the
complaint on the grounds that ordinance
No. 800 is contrary to the terms Of the city
charter, which in Article Nv, section Is,
reads:
Every legislative act of said CT ~ shall be
by ordinance. Every ordinance shall be
clearly entitled, and shall contain but one
object, which shall be clearly expressed in
its title
1t is claimed by the defense that ordi-
nance so, since it provides for more than
one offense, and its object is not clearly ex-
pressed in its title, is null and void. The
case was argued by A. ]. Mcbride on be-
half of the city, and by John Wiley for the
defendants. Judge Rivers took the mat
terunder advisement.
