Boise, Nov. 10.--Judge Beatty
has ruled against the plaintiff in
the case of Florence Young versus
Frank McGrane and others. The
case is from Grangeville and the
complaint alleges that the plaintiff
had money on deposit in the bank
of defendants Brown and Norwood,
Grangeville, in the name of her
husband, K. B. Young, to he ex-
pended by him in the purchase of
mining claims for her; that the de,
lendants, McGrane, Server, George
K. Reid, 0. Reid and Frank Reid,
by gambling procured $4,000 of
plaintiffs money through her hus-
band; that it was paid in checks by
her husband upon her bank depos-
it in said defendants bank; that
said bank and it's officers, when
paying said checks, knew they
were given for a gambling debt
and without consideration, and
that said K. r. Young drew them
without security. Judge Beatty
sustains ths demurrers on two
grounds. One is that while the
citizenship Of the plaintiff is al
legged to be in the state OF Wash
ington, she is, and has been during
the time of the acts complained o.,
a resident OF Lewiston. The de,
murrer is also sustained on the
ground that the husband should
have been joined with her In the
action. The judge holds that the
plaintiff can recover from the per.
cons who secured the money, but
refrains from passing on the liza
biliJy of the bank officers for hav-
ing paid the checks. The plaintiff
is given 80 days in which to amend
her complaint.

An editorial which recently APP.
peared in the Seattle Post Intelli-
gencer, regarding the misuse of the
amount of money appropriated
for lettering the condition of the
Columbia waterway to the sea, is
an article that hits the nail on the
head. Why take $325,000 OF mon
ey appropriated to clear the chan
nels of the Columbia and sink it
all in that river between Portland
and Astoria2 If that much money
were expended to remove obstruc-
tons in the upper river a water
way to the ocean would be estab-
lished for the entire Inland Empire
that would save hundreds of thous.
ands Of dollars in freight and
handling charges to the farmer of
that vast domain. The Oregon
delegation controls the rivers and
harbors committee and they are
working for the sole interest of
Portland, to the detriment of the
entire upper country. This should
be stopped by one means or anoth-
er. 1t seems that not cent of all
the money appropriated by con-
gress for the purpose Of improving
the channel of the Columbia has
ever been expended where it was
the most needed, that is, on the
upper river. We don't blame such
papers as the P. 1. and the Spokes-
man Review, nor any other paper
in this entire section for objecting
TO such actions.
