Judge Stillwell instructed the jury
that it had jurisdiction over the whole
field of criminal doings. Particular
attention should oe given, however,
to that class of crimes in which those
participating were loath to given
testimony. The prohibition law and
a law against combinations to en-
hance the price Of goods we're parti-

should be had for the cost of the jury
and the court left all other matters to
the honor and good judgment of the
grand jury.

WEDNESDAY SESSION

The fact that there are so many
damage suits on the present docket,
suits against the railroads and against

the reserves and those having mineral
claims near them are allowed to use tim
Der for domestic purposes and the prop

make application to cut designated
amount of timber want it in a hurry, but
under the present system the application
has to go from the supervisor of the re-

cut to the superintendent Of forestry in
that division or state, then to the land
office and interior department and back
again to the applicant with the permits
