LAW DAY PROCEEDINGS
Interesting Question to Be Brought
 up Next Saturday.

An interesting question was brought up in the law day session of the dis trict court yesterday and will be fur ther heard next Saturday. It relates to the power of the court ito hear a mo- tion for a new trial in a case which had been already appealed. This comes up in the case of the territory against Bssell Thomas. After his conviction the defendant perfected an appeal to the supreme court. In the meantime there had been the usual motion for a new trial, which was denied. That motion was in the nature of a demur- Ter to the indictment.
 After that it was thought by the at torneys for the defense that a better ground for the motion had been. found and one was accordingly filed on Dec. 10
 In the damage suit of Frank s. Will Hams against, the s. F. P. & P the hearing of the motion and demurrer were reset for next Saturday. In the case of Norris Golf and others against J. c. Wasson a motion for a new trial will be heard at the same time. In the case of James Loy against Daniel

Kloss there was an exce9tson to the cost bill. In the same case the hear ing of a motion for new trial was reset for December 24. In the suit of J. F. Wedgworth against F. B. Mi;- lage a motion to amend the complaint was set for next Saturday. In the case of the Home Savings Bank and Trust company against w. K. Maull objec- ton was made by the plaintiff to the application of K. L. Hart to intervene. This will be heard next Saturday when will also be heard a similar objection by the plaintiff to the application of G. E. Noll to intervene.
 In the case of F. L. Blu1ner against George F. Sanders the trial order was vacated on the motion of the plaintiff A similar order was entered in the case of F; L. Blumer against the Angel Consolidated Mining company.

IDEAS IN BOAT BUILDING.

Constructors Find New Methods of In
creasing the Speed of Water Craft.
Granville H. Rood, of Washington, a
boat builder Of wide reputation, has re-
Gently succeeded in upsetting all rules
or steamer construction heretofore ac-
cepted as inviolable by the builders
Of the world generally. Ordinarily it
has been the custom to place the pro-
pellers aft OF the stern, but this icono-
elastic inventor proposes to locate them
well under the hull, where they will
work, according to his calculations, in
a body Of comparatively dead water.
In torpedo boats and similar speedy
small craft the propeller shafts have
been extended rearwardly of the stern
in AN endeavor to attain this same OBJ
1ect-namely, to place the propellers
In dead or undisturbed water away
from the wash and swirl caused by the
agitation Of the water through which
the hull has passed.
The blade propeller is also to be
abandoned, being replaced by a spiral
blade, which makes at least one com
plete turn about the shaft, it being
assumed that this construction will
result in greater efficiency by the
avoidance of the pounding, lifting of
water and the cavitation Inherent in
the customary form of propeller. Maxi
mum carrying capacity and speed
with minimum engine power is also
sought by designing the hull along the
familiar scow lines, resulting in q very
light draft.
1t is asserted that the engine power
necessary to obtain a predetermined
speed in a boat Of given length is d.
rectly proportional to the depth Of the
hull. and, moreover, a light-,iraft de-
sign Of hull lends itself readily TO the
use Of multiple propellers, located par
allel to its length in a comparatively
undisturbed body of water. Finlilze
keels are provided, which serve the
double purpose of supplying and car
Iying the several propeller shafts and

Women Always Liked Him a Lot or
Else They Hated Him.


We drove down the mountain In the

Truthful James told me about Bret
Harte.
HE was a slim, little. black-eyed
teacher when 1 knew him." said Truth
full James. He taught over in Copper
town then. They named 1t Copperopo-
lis when they built it, same as they
named Jimtown jamestown, but we all
called it Coppertown. 1t was a lively
place then, was Coppertown. Ten ho-
tells, three banks and faro places till
you couldn't count 'em all. There was
a lot happening in Copper. Half OF
the plots of Bret Harte's stories grew

WRITING Lefty AND RIGHT.

Here is an amusing little deception
that you may play upon unsuspecting
friends. Perhaps it would be more
correct to say that they play the trick
on themselves-which makes it all the
funnier. You tell them what to- do
and it is not your fault that they doN't
know how to do it.
Give your victim a slip of stout writ
ing paper and the stub of soft, black
lead pencil, not very sharp. ASK them
to shut his eyes and lay the paper on
his forehead, holding it there with the
thumb and forefinger of his left hand,
one pressed to each temple, while the
palm of the hand covers his eyes. The
next thing he has to do is to write
his name on the paper with the pencil
held in his right hand. Writing is not
easy under such conditions, so no one
will expect the signature to be very
pretty or very legible, but everybody
including the writer, will be surprised
