VIVA L is LEGAL NOTICE?

Among the matters passed upon bv
Judge Joiner Tuesday, when he made
his second official visit here, was mo-
ton for confirmation of judgment in
delinquent tax case brought by 5. e.
Neterer, OF Whatcom county, VS.. w.
S. Brown ct al, plaintiffs attorney be-
ing Jere Neterer, one of the leading
lawyers of the Whatcom county bar.
Mr.. Neterer was not present and the
motion was made by Deputy County
Attorney King. 1t was mere formal
matter and was submitted without
argument. The motion was denied by
the court on the ground that the de-
PENDANTS had not received legal notice
by the summons directing them to
"appear within sixty days after the
FIRST publication of this summons"
which notice was published in the
ISLANDER for six successive weeks, as
provided by statute. The court holds
that all notices by publication in cases
brought for the foreclosure of tax liens
should direct defendants to appear and
"defend this action or pay the amount
due" within sixty days after the LAST
publication of such notices, instead of
the first, thus giving the defendants in
all such cases forty-two days more
notice than the statute provides for in
other civil actions. So far as the par
ticular point in question is concerned
the notice of Mr.. Neterer was identical
with number of similar notices i'll
such cases prepared by Attorney King
IN this county, who instituted num-
Der of tax foreclosure actions previous
to the expiration of his term Of office as
county attorney, and County Attorney
Thacker has since followed the same
practice, and their view of the statute
is evidently in accord with the posi-
ton taken by the attorneys who have
instituted large number of such &C
tons in Whatcom, King and Pierce
counties. Judge Hadley, of Whatcom
county, has confirmed judgment in a
number of cases brought by the county
attorney there, who took the same
view of the statute IS that taken by the
attorneys here. The ambiguity of the
statute having given rise TO general
conflict of opinion among attorneys in
all parts of the state measure has been
introduced in the legislature designed
to set the question at rest and remove
all doubts, and until action is taken
upon this bill, or the supreme court
passes upon the question, no more such
actions will be instituted i'm this coul ty.
1T is yet too early to say whether re-
publication will be necessary in the
cases already instituted in which the
practice declared by Judge Joiner to he
illegal has been followed. Whatever
the result, the attorneys here have an
abundance of good company in other
counties in the position which they
have taken.

Representa- tive Davis, of this county,
has placed himself on record in opposi.
ton to the proposed direct primary
law, the successful operation of which
would interfere very materially with
the manipulation of political bosses and
render 1T extremely difficult if not i'm
possible for them to practically nullify
the popular will by preventing any
fair expression of it. The bill as intro
duced applies to all counties, but an
amendment was proposed designed to
limit its application to the counties of
King, Pierce and Spokane, containing
the large cities. Capt. Davis voted for
the amendment, but it was defeated by
large majority. If the opinions of
the county officials and business men
here may be regarded as fair index of
public sentiment in this county upon
this question, Representative Davis
does not represent it. 1t detracts moth
ing from the merit of the proposed
measure that it embodies one OF the
cardinal principles of Populist faith.
If the Republican party had always
been as alert as it might have been to
give such meritorious measures as this
and the demand for the establishment
of postal savings hanks the force of
law, the Populist party might still have
been, like the earth in the first period
of its planetary existence, "without
form and void" 1t may be suggested
that that is practically the condition
of the party at the present time, but

forms it succeeded in giving both the

ever the origin of the direct primary
idea it is right in principle and it will
be to the credit of the present Republic
can legislature if it makes provision for
fair trial of it, as it would be to the
credit of the Republican congress if it
would provide for the establishment of
postal savings banks, as several Re-
publican postmasters general have
str ongly recommended.

When our Richardson scribe gets his
"fine wharf, erected Al Higgins bay
there will be no feeling of jealousy on our
part, but rather pride for the enterprise
of south Lopez, which will then have two
wharves and two steamers, one either
way every day.
On Wednesday of last week the tug
boat Eclipse belonging to the Pacific
American Fisheries Company, of Fair
haven, steamed into our bay, having OH
board number of the prominent men
connected with that company, among
whom we noticed Messrs. Mcmillan,
Benseth and Capt. Mrcusen. They came
to take look at the steamer being built
here by Schruder & Son. After careful
examination they bought the hull for a
fair consideration and will make a first
class tugboat out of her to be owned by
the Marcusen company. The boat is to
be launched not later than April 10, when
she will be christened the Alpha. A
first-class engine will be put in her with
a Scotch marine boiler, the object being
to make her in every respect staunch
and rapid tugboat of twelve or more
knots per hour. Schruder q Son deserve
credit for having built such creditable
craft. All who have seen her praise her
fine lines and staunch get up. Louie
Schruder has been offered the position OF
mate on the new boat. He may accept
after his father and he have repaired Capt
Arthur Davis steamer Harry, now on
the ways here. x.
