The last bulletin Of the agricultural
department has been received from til
printers and is now being mailed. Its
appearance is much more attrsctlv"
than those formerly issued, inasmuch
as il has a magazine cover This is
made possible by a recent act Of Con
gross by which it is possible to mail
such publications free of cost. Be
fore this it was necessary to pay reg
ulsr rates of postage and for that
reason the cover was omitted as II
added TO the weight and the cOnse-

CONTEST TAKEN INTO COURT
Justice Austin Asks Review of Pro-
ceedfngs by which Judge Cnnn
Was Nominated.

The contested nomination for a place
as nominee for justice of the peace on
the Republican ticket was taken into the
superior court yesterday. when there was
iiled petition in case entitled The
state OF Washington on the Relation of
G, g. Austin VS.. Samuel II. Piles and A.
Muchmore."
The petition states that at the Repub-
lican county convention, where s. r.
Piles was serving as chairman, a ballot
was taken on the nomination OF two JUS
tices OF the peace. That on the first ball
lot r. r. George was declared nominated,
but that by wrong count T. II. Cam
was declared nominee instead Of Aus
tin. who in reality, so Il is alleged. re-
ceived majority of the votes in the
convention. Austin further states that
the result was announced by the chair
man at the instance OF Eugene Often
hoefer. who was supporter OF Cam, and
had not served az official tallyman. He
feels that the selection was incorrect, and
now asks a writ OF review.
Judge Moore has cited the defendants
to appear September %. at $3.50 A. M, 10
show cause why a writ OF mandate should
not issue.
