Mcdonald pays high tribute to the con-
scientious and paipstaking court. Upon
these questions were involved all the labor
claims, prior to the taking effect of the
new logging lien act OF 1888. hence the re-
suits we're eagerly looked for by hundreds
Of loggers over the Sound. The amount
in this case was about $4,000 The case
