In considering the utility of the laws re-
garding the workings OF the justice courts,
it has been suggested that one impor tant
item should be remedied. These laws
should be so amended that Justices Of ths

qulred to file bonds for costs. This would
result in the saving of hundreds of dollars
to the several counties in cases where the
cause for complaint is not sufficient to

are of cedar, and were laid with five inches
exposed to the weather. ALI that Oregon
weather has done is to wear down the sur
face about an eight OF an inch; the re.
maInder of the wood is sound and tar harder
than it was the day the shingles were laid"

young folks on the ice of the South Palouse
river, Monday evening. Thomas Ripley met
with a distressing accident. He was glid-
ing over the slippery floor, in company with
a lady partner, when the twain struck an
obstacle in the shape of piece of wood
frozen into the ice. Ripley fell backward
in his successful effort to save the girl, and
in the fall he broke the small bone of his
right leg just above the ankle"
