THE matter under consideration was the
kootenai rates, which are now in bad
shape Efforts have been made several
times OF late to bring about an understand
ing between the two railways as TO rates
In that section, but they have uniformly
failed OF satisfactory solution. The Ca

A MUNICIPAL Or ANOTHER JUS
TICE COURT Is NEEDED.

M AYOR HUMES. of Seattle says:
1SI Seattle needs a municipal court,
or justice court for the transaction OF
the city's business. the collection or
fines and the trial of offenders against
the clty's ordinances. Had the legisla-
ture abolished one justice of the peace,
and left the municipal court. or abol-
ished the municipal judge and left the
two justices. we could have gotten along
fairly well. The condition now is that
the justice who is left in the cities of
the first class deals will all state mat
tiers that are brought before him as
we'll as petty civil cases. and ali eases
involving violation Of the city ordl-
nances. This should receive attention
by the municipal convention and
al the hands Of the legislature. to-
eether with several matters equally as
important"
