United States Judge Hanf ord has le-
cided against TIE Wishkah river farmers
in their efforts to keep an open river,

reason of its winding course and insig-
nificant commercial traffic it is not such
public navigable stream as was con-
templated by congress in the enactment
OF navigation laws. The rights of the
farmers and lumbermen along this river
have long been source of contention,
and the farmers raised pool and had
this action begun in the name OF the
United States. The decision will en-
phasize the necessity for good roads up
that river.

the fertile imagination of the new re-
porter on the Daily Bulletin Things

"copy." The quick-witted reporter
dashes off a seven-line local in which he !
sends Lucore to Montesano Tor week as
witness in several cases, and sentenced !
Frank Simmons (whoever he is) to five |
years in the pententary. The most
surprised people, on reading the item,
We're Lucore and the court authorities. |
Things don't always have to happen to
be written up.
