Yakima correspondence Tacoma Ledger:
1t is estimated that the county now has q
population of $1,000, or double what IL
was in 1892. Based upon this supposi-
ton plans are forming to ask of the next
legislature permission to make the county
a separate judicial district, it being now
combined with Kitti.as. Should Re pre-.
sentative-elect Milroy be successful in Sc
curing this division, it is probable that At.
torney w. l.. Jones may be urged for the
position of superior judge. He would
have little opposition, as his standing
with the local bar and residents of thu
city and county is OF high character.
