LARGEST in the World.

Spain boasts probably the longest
lawsuit in the worlds history. 1t
began in 1917 and is still sub judice.
The case. which concerns a pension, is
between the Marquis de Viana and the
Count Torres de Cabrera, and the ac-
cumulated sum in dispute would have
reached fabulous millions had not
four centuries of attorneys, barris-
tiers and court officials taken con-
siderate measures of appropriation
to prevent the sum becoming unWield-
ly. In 1871 the case was, in the de-
liberate mind Of Spanish Jurisprudence,
deemed more or less ripe for a de-
cision; but circumstances every
wear arose which necessitated its be-
ing set back to the year following.
The Judges, however, have now be-
come apprehensive lest the suit
should reach it's fifth century, and
as this might reflect upon the prompt
itude of Spanish procedure, the GUS
tomary dispatch is to be still fur
Their stimulated that judgment be
given within a period not exceeding
two years longer.

GOOD FEES RECEIVED
Liquor Licenses Bring Money Into
State Treasury.

Liquor Licenses Bring Money Into
State Treasury.
From it's 10 per cent of the liquor
license fees in the state, the state of
Washington received for the quarter
ending September 80 a total of $685.
9S4.4O, according to the figures Just
compiled by State Treasurer George
G. Mills. September 80, on the new
quarter, receipts from this source were
s13O32O.
In the past many municipalities dis
regarded the law requiring them to
remit 10 per cent of their liquor Ii
cense collections, but the legislature of
1905 enacted a measure requiring all
licenses to be signed by the state
treasurer before they were operative.
This brings the money. All collec-
tons of this class go to the gen.
eral fund.
For the quarter ending September 81
the collections by the state under the
inheritance tax law were $6,271.36
some of which is due to the investi-
cations made by state agents under
the law of 1905 to compel the pay
ment of this tax.
