Sumpter July 27.-An accident to

W. w. Cotton, who passed through
the city on train No. last night, en-
route to New York city, to confer
with Hartman, it is said will not ac-
cept the appointment as federal
judge for the district of Oregon, but
will remain as counsel for the O. R.
& n
Mr. Cotton would not definitely
state whether he intended to decline
the proffered judgeship, but reports
which follow him from Portland are
to the effect that he will remain per-
manently with the Hartman system,
his trip to New York meaning, per-
haps, an advancement in his official
position.
Should Mr.. Cotton definitely de-
cline the judgeship. the friends of
Judge Lowell of this city, believe that
his chances for the appointment are
excellent, as it was reported from
Washington, before Cottons appoint
ment was made, that Judge Lowell
had been named.
Friends of Mr. Cotton say that he
has not intended to accept the ap-
pointment at any time, but allowed
his maine to be used since he had been
recommended, as the suggestion of his
name for the place added weight and
dignity to his career and fitted him
for promotion to other positions in
the railroad service
The salary drawn by Mr.. Cotton, as
counsel for he o. X. & n. is various
ly estimated at from $4,000 to s2O,-
600 per year, and as the judgeship
pays but $4,000 per year, it has been
declared all along by those in touch
with the situation that he would make
this sacrifice. An advancement in
the service of the o. II. & n. carries |
with il. an increased salary and Mr.. |
Cotton being in the prime of life yet, |
is hardly expected to turn down n |
constantly increasing salary and |
widening field of work for federal
position which, at best. is stationary. !

MONSTER TROUT is CAUGHT.
Fish Weighing Twelve Pounds Taken
From Waters of Lake Whatcom.

Bellingham. Wash, July 27.-What
is believed to be the largest trout ever
taken from Lake Whatcom with rod
and reel, was caught yesterday by
John A. Pearson near Sunnyside. The
monster trout weighed II pounds and
was a beautiful specimen.
There have been many trout taken
from the waters of the lake that came
near the size of the one caught by
Pearson, but as far as records go the
catch made by this gentleman will
stand for some time. 1t is unusual to
catch trout of even much less size
than the one taken yesterday at this
time of the year. More big trout
have been reported taken from the
waters of the lake since the present
season opened, than Of any former
period.
