When the supreme court OF the United
States adjourned the gratifying announce
ment was made that there were only some
GO cases left undisposed OF on the dockeE
This at first blush. would not look very
encouraging. but IL appears that FOR SONS
years past the court on adjournment has
usually left some 500 or 90 cases on the
calendar.
The reduction in the number OF cases
in the supreme court Is due 20 ire crea-
ton Of the new circuit courts OF ap-
peal. which have final power OF dispo-
sltion OF all cases which do not IN
volve the construction OF the constitution
or a Federal statute. These new courts
have taken nearly or quite one-hais OF
the burden formerly imposed on tho SUI
pregne court. and as q result there is
fair prospect that the higher court VIII be
able 10 overtake It's docket In three or four
years, and thereafter Viii be able 10

in all the custom houses OF the United
would hardly amount TO as much as the
cost to the government OF having the
time of the courts occupied by such triv-
ial matter
Yet an elaborate written opinion had
necessarily TO be entered in the case by the
supreme court, and the nine venerable
judges all solennly concurred in the view
that the government was not called upon
TO return this sum OF 10 cents to the i'm
porter. and that the charge made was
strictly warranted by law.
Fully one-third of the business OF the
highest judicial tribunal in the land,
which the public is accustomed TO
think of as sitting for the disposition
OF great constitutional questions. is in
reality confined 20 such absurdly petty
matters as this. which are hardly OF suffi-
cient Importance TO occupy ten minutes of
the time of a country Justice of the peace.
While the time OF the court is thus oc-
cupied. the docket of the court necessarily
got many years in arrears, and prior to
the creation of the new appellate courts
it took a iitigane from three to- seven
years time to get a final decision upon
case brought up to the supreme court,
public interests were involved. he sue
ceeded in having his case advanced out
of its regular order.

The new Russian minister OF public
works. Prince Michael ChilkofY. has led
romantic life He began his career as a
page at the imperial court. Later he re-
ceived an officers appointment in the
Chasssurs of the Guard. where he led his
companions in the widest designations. In
1850 he left the army and entered the
ministry of foreign affairs, but after a
little time, finding himself ruined, he dis
appeared and emigrated to the United
States where he worked on the construc-
ton Of one of the Western railways as a
simple laborer. Through the influence of
some of his old friends, who had found
him out by chance, he was again made an
officer in the army, and accompanied Sko-
belief on his expedition into Central Asia.
He was next heard of as director of public
works in Bulgaria, and afterwards re-
turned to St. Petersburg, where he was
employed as inspector general of railways:
then he became a councillor of state, and
now is cabinet minister.

WHAT PUGET SOUND Is.

Tacoma, June 50, 1926.
To the Editor: Pardon suggestion as
to your interesting editorial inquiry today.
What and where is Puget soundT'
1 concur in your statements as 20 the
nomination by the first explorers of those
numerous inland seas now embraced in
the aggregate term Puget sound" The
name was conferred by Capt. George
Vancouver IN June. 1872. upon the inlet
and its various arms within the mar
rows" stretching south and westward
through twenty-five miles of latitude and
twenty-one of longitude, the state capital
being located at the extreme south end,
and another branch reaching within two
miles of the headwaters of Hood canal.
Lieut.. Peter Puget. r. N, of the Nancou-
YER expedition, first explored 1t. In COM
pliment to him the great geographer con-
ferred the name. AS stated In the edito-
rial, the original Puget sound Joined the
southern end of Admiralty Inlet at Point
Defiance, and was limited to the southern
division OF Washington's magnificent in
land sea, so aptly called the Mediterra-
mean of the Pacific.
1t was the United States government.
not the "o,d settlers" by whom the orig
fnal nomenclature and the historic re-
minders of the gallant and intrepid ex-
plorers were effaced. The names of the
water divisions as conferred by Van
couver. the Spanish navNators and our
own Wilkes. were first lored by con-
gressional action. The act of congress
approved February II. 1851, creating the
collection district of Puget sound and es-
tablishing its port of entry at Olympia.
was governmental declaration that Pu-
get sound district embraced all the inland
waters of the then Oregon territory witt
in the entrance of the Straits of Juan de
Fuca and the then northern boundary of
the United States.
The war department in 1858 so regarded
Puget sound in the instructions for the
survey OF the northern route. between
the headwaters OF the Mississippi and Pu-
get sound. In 1854. when congress removed
the custom house from Olympia to Port
Townsend. the district OF Puget sound
continued as before defned-the port OF
entry was located at the point where Adj
miralty inlet (as originally named) joins
the Straits OF Fuca- Since that date con-
gressional enactments. numerous govern
mental acts and appropriations, maps ard
documents issued by authority, have def
nitely determined what waters are en-
braced within the term Puget sound
The charter of the Northern Pacific rail-
road and the several resolutions quoted in
the editorial are but a few of the instances
of the numerous governmental acts where
in and whereby 1.-The term" Puget sound
for nearly half a century has been and Is
declared by law ''to mean all the waters
connected with the Straits of Juan de
Fuca within the United States

THE SHERIFF. OUT OF JAIL.
Ogden, April II.

Sheriff Wright, OF this county, returned
/ from Nevada yesterday morning, having
/ been discharged from the custody of
the Nevada officials by Judge FITZGERALD
who characterized the arrest as an OUT
rage.
The Nebraska sheriff ard Sheriff
Wright We're not trying to evads the
law when they arrested Lamb. Sheriff
Wright first arrested the prisoner and
held him until the Nebraska officer ar
rived. and as it was necessary to go 10
Carson City to have the reduisiti5n of
the governor of Nebra ska reCognl Zed by
the governor of Nevada and there being
no safe and convenient place at Battle
Mountain to keep the prisoner. the sheriff
from Nebraska proposed TO remove Lamb
to another county, where there was a
secure jail. 1t was for removing the
prisoner that the two officers We're ar
rested, but Sheriff Wright had nothing to
do with that, as he had turned the man
over to Sheriff Kdvenaugh.
Lamb. the prisoner who is wanted in
Nebras ska for cattle stealing. is a man
of considerable means, and does not en-
gage in the business for revenue only.
bur seems to he possessed of mania
for cattle stealing, and it is said he has
been known 10 drive off whole herds and
dispose of them. He is sad TO be
very skillful thief, and is wanted very
badly back in Nebraska.
Sheriff Wright says the Nebraska
officer will have some trouble to get his
prisoner away from Nevada, but he pro-
poses to stay with him until he lands
him in the Jail at North Platte.
