Comma BY Thousands.

Foreign immigra ton this year bids
fair to break all records. 1t was very
large during 1904. the total new comers
from foreign lands having been S0S.999.
The number this year will certainly be
enormously greater. The number of
arrivals in February was 67.116 against
33,967 for the same month of last year.
or exactly double.
The special significance of this in
pouring from Europe relates to the
prosperous condition Of industry Of
this country Europen immigration
responds with singular promptitude
to the varying conditions of our indus
try. Prosperity stimulates it. while
the number of new Corners shrinks dur
ing a period of hard times. which for
a large portion of wage earners means
a period Of low wages. The bulk of the
immigration now a days for long
time are chiefly wage-earners.
The volume OF immigration cannot
be due to special industrial stress or to
any other extraordinary cause in Eur
one. as sometimes occurs. 1t Is ex-
plainable only on the fact Of the soid
and very notable prosperity OF the
country.

Young Van Arsdol and half dozen
companions We're fishing and bathing
in the slough that lies below CfarksS

occurred. The slough is formed by
a sand bar which makes two small is
lands and the rising river has cut a
channel between them. The water
pouring through this makes big eddy
and has created a deep hole. The boys
went over to the lower island and
Drexel started to wade to the upper is
land when the rapid current took him
off his feet and carried him into the
eddy where he never emerged.
The smaller boys carried the news
to Charleston and rescue party was

LEWISTON WANTS JUDGMENT
City Sues S. G. lsaman on Mclean
Judgment

Suit has been started in the district
S. G. Isaman for $17944.2O, the amount
the city has paid out in judgment and
costs as a result of the damage suit of
James A. Mclean and wife Of Spo-
kane. The original verdict in the Nc
Lean case was $4,000 but with costs
and interest the total is brought up to
the figures named.
The litigation has many points of
peculiar interest not only to Lewis
ton. but to other municipalities. On
February 13. 1900, Mrs. Miriam w. Nc
Lean fell through a coal hole on Main
street i'm front of the Grand Hotel Be
cause the wooden doors over the hole
We're defective and because of the Sc
rious nature of Mrs. McLean's injuries
she sued the city for $4,000 and re-
ceived verdict for $4,000. which was
sustained by the supreme court.
The city paid the judgment by Civ
ing warrants and only last week held
a special election to vote upon the
question Of creating a bond issue to
retire these warrants. Had it not been
for this heavy Judgment the bond issue
would probably have been unnecessary
and election costs would have been
saved.
For some time Attorney I. n. Smith
| has advised the city thatt he believed
| the city had a good case against S. G
Isaman. the owner of the property in
! front of which the accident occurred
and he has been especially employed
! to conduct the case. The complaint
sets forth that the coal hole was a nui-
sance: that it was put i'm the sidewalk
by the defendant and was for the sole
use of the defendant: that the doors
had improper support and We're with
out the knowledge of the city.
Because OF these facts Mr.. Smith
believes the city can recover the full
amount from Mr.. Isaman The ques
ton i'm law is known as the contribu
tion of persons jointly liable for tort
and it is believed to be the first tim

got a decision in the second contest in
his favor. In May Weisgerber offered
timber and stone filing on the land,
but II was rejected because of Wis
wells prior right of 80 days had not
expired. On May 26 Wiswell filed a
homestead on the land and Weisgerber
appealed from the rejection Of his fill
ing. but failed to give notice to Wis
we'll of the appeal. Wiswell completed
new cabin in November, 1903, and
did further work around the place and
did not learn Of Weisgerber's appeal
till November Is. when he was inform
ed that the commissioner had cancel
led his entry and sustained Weisger-
ber.
Wiswell interviewed and the commits
sioner set aside the decision sending
the case back to the local land Office
for the taking of testimony The trial
lasted nearly a week. and the register
J. r. West. decided in favor Of Wis
well, that he had shown bonafide in
tent to settle on the land, but the re-
ceiver decided for Weisgerber Both
sides appealed and the commissioner
decided for Wiswell. Weisgerber ap-
pealed to the secretary Of the interior
and again decision has ben received
