Legislative Notes.

The common talk around the Capitol is
that Ed J. Smith, the well-lcnown Assist
ant Clerk of the Assembly, has taken
upon himself one OF the Sacramento pref
ty girls as wife. Some of his friends
deny the rumor, but after talk with Ed
it was found that such thing has been
consummated.
There was 4 lengthy debate in the SEN
ate yesterday afternoon over the county
road bill, the discussion being on the
proposition to put all the roads in their
districts under their control, and allow
them mileage for their work. Seawell
offered an amendment to the effect that
the Supervisors be allowed $500 a year
for their services as Road Commissioners
instead of mileage. The amendment was
defeated, and the Senator gave notice that
he would move to reconsider the vote to-
day.

October Raipf.,l rh.nom.n.,.

OLYMPIA. Oct ii.-ISpecial. lin conyer-
sation with Mr.. Alciatore, in charge Of the
weather service in Olympia. he reports the
storms of October TO be phenomenaliy
heavy for this time of the year. and az
least three weeks earlier in the season
than heavy rains should be expected. The
storm has been general throughout the
state, but Lincoln county. in Eastern
Washington. and Thurston. In the western
part. have experienced the heaviest rains.
In the counties of Whitman, Garfield and
Spokane the damage to crops has been
considerable. and, Of course. all harvesting
operations have been discontinued. In
the counties near tho mountains, however.
the damage has not amounted to much.
In Western Washington considerable oats
still standing have been ruined by the
heavy winds and rains. The hop crop is
pretty well gathered, but. needless to men,
ton, the remaining hops are In sorry
plight.
As an idea Of the unusually heavy rains
this year. Mr.. Alcitore states that an ex-
cess of 674 inches of rain has fallen since
January over the showing of previous
years. and 29o of this has fallen within
the past nine days.

through. Many members of the house
were present. The galleries did not con-
tain an unoccupied seat. and in the door
ways a mass of humanity clamored for ad-
mission. The silver men had considerable
advantage over their opponents. and they
were free to admit their pleasure over the
conditions. While they can rest in COM
