The reform committee of Seattle
are disheartened from the futility OF
their efforts. They report that the
police have not made, nor is there the
slightest hope that they intend to
make, any effort to enforce the city or
dinances or State law regarding regu-
lation Of the saloon traffic. The com.
mittee appeals to the Chamber OF
Commerce as last resort, which
seems remarkably like taking an ap.
peal from Lucifer to Satan.

is something unique. The oleaginous

is amusing to those who have not
caught the oil craze. After reading a

may fairly see the brown. colored
source of wealth flowing into his own

Oil-stock, is somewhat different from
what it was some time ago, NOS from
any waning faith in the product itself,

The Courthouse Capitol.

Architect kitchie has submitted
plans for change IN the Ihuraton
county 'ourt-hou-c, to adapt it to lis
new service as a Ntateh0usc. The an
mex Will be to the east side of the
present structure, and built to con-
form L. 1t IN material and design. 1t
VAL spread over ii space of 50 by 200 It.,
which Is considerably more than the
present edifice covers. twill approach
within - feet the sidewalks on the
north, south and east sides of the
block. The new building will have a
north entrance TO the basement, con-
forming with the present entrance to
the Postolfice. Two grand entrances
will be placed on the Franklin street
and the Seventh street sides, to this
first floor above the basement. These
will lead into a corridor % feet wide
extending through the building east
and west and north and south.
The first floor will accommodate
the Governor, the Auditor, the Treas
urer, the Attorney General and the
Board of Control, in the present build
ing. That floor OF the addition will
be assigned to Offices OF Land Com
missioner, Superintendent of Schools,
Secretary of State, Adjutant General
and the Labor Bureau.
The second floor will be occupied by
the Supreme Court and the State Lii
brary. 1t will be remodeled, to con-
form to the requirements of the new
service-the library occupying the
south end, and the Supreme Judges
what is now the Equity courtroom,
enlarged, and with convenient Offices
for all the Judges.
On the second floor OF the addition
will be the Legislative halls, the Sem
ate chamber at the north and Repre-
sentatives' hall ON the south. The
height Of the rooms will extend to the
roof and be lighted with large sky
lights. The floor dimensions of the
Senate room will be &c by 81 feet and
OF the House AZ by 81 feet. The plan
embraces ample committee rooms.
Both halls will have galleries accom-.
modating 300 spectators. Between
the two chambers will be a rotunda so
feet square, extending to the roof and
surmounted by q large akylight.
A grand staircase and elevator are
provided for in the plans, and the
basement will be given over to the
heating and electric light plants, and
if room is left, it will probably be as
signed to the Adjutant General for an
arsenal and storage room.
Mr.. Richie says there will be no
difficulty in completing the building
in time for the Legislature of 1893 if
work is begun within sixty days, and
that can be easily done.
