FOR COLLEGE PLACE SAhITARluM
First lnstaIIment of Furniture anc
Fixtures Has Arrived.

The first installment of the furniture
and fixtures for the new sanitarium to
be established at the Walla Walla COL
lege has been received at College Place
from Spokane. In speaking of the
sanitarium this morning one Of the
principal officers of the college stated
that it was the intention to have the
sanitarium running by July 1. 1T
has not yet been decided definitely
where the sanitarium will be located
he said. "Originally it was intended
to use one of the large rooms of the
college, but the present indications
point to a much larger attendance of
pupils next term and the trustees may
decide to erect a separate building for
that purpose. The board will hold
meeting in a few days and select
physician to have charge of the sanl-
tarium. He will be selected from the
medical staff at the Battle Creek in
stitution."

STATE SUPREME COURT MAKES
AN IMPORTANT RULING ON
BANKING MEASURE.
Bank Stock Must Be Made Out Against
Individual Holders and Not
the Bank.

That personal property taxes against
the stock of a bank must be assessed
against the Individual holders of the
stock and not the corporation itself is
the essence of a decision handed down
by the supreme court in which the
superior court of Jefferson county is
reversed, and the foreclosure of de-
linuuency tax certificate against real
estate owned by the First National
bank, of Port Townsend, is invalidated
and the cloud of title caused thereby
removed.
The assessor of Jefferson county, in
1897 assessed the stock of the bank
itself and made it a lien upon real es-
tate owned by the bank. The oahk
made the necessary tender of the real
estate taxes, which the treasurer re-
fused to accept until the personal tax
was paid. A delinquency certificate
for 1897 taxes was in due time issued
to the county and the usual action
started to obtain title. The county
was given judgment in the court below,
but is reversed in the supreme court
for the reason indicated. The record
was one of the most vOluminous ever
brought to the supreme court, the ar
gument covering $50 printed pages.

STATE LACKS PRINTING FUNDS.
Legislature Appropriated Only 100000
for Doing the Work

OLYMPIA, April 14.-In spite of
rigid economy a deficiency in the an
preparation for state printing at the
end of the present fiscal period is more
than probability if the cost of the
printing for the preceding period is
taken as criterion in connection with
the Interpretation placed upon the law
by the attorney general today.
In an opinion given the governor the
attorney general rules that the item
of public printing read in connection
with the bill creating the office of pub
lie printer includes the printing of not
only state offices, but of all the state
institutions, boards and commissions
The legislature has appropriated $780,
900 for public printing. For two years
just ended the printing for state offices
! amounted to $63,793 and for the sew
eral state institutions, $13,32S. 1t will
be seen, therefore, that to keep within
the limit of the appropriation, the
printing bills of the state must be re-
duced approximately $17,3OO The in
| crease in the business of the state Of
fees, and the increase in the size and
needs of the state institutions, natur-
ally call for increased printing supplies
and the creation of new offices by the
last legislature further increases the
demand for state printing. So, the
problem of keeping the printing bills
within 100000 is difficult.
| With view of reducing expenses,
the governor requested the attorney
general to render an opinion as to
whether or not, under the law, the
state printer could not be put under
a stated salary, and let the printing
by contract. State Printer Gorham is
| said to have agreed to such a propo-
sition. However, the attorney general
stated that the law was very clear on
the subject and that it would be i'm
possible to draw any money from the
fund except in the way prescribed on
voucher drawn by state printer, max
| ing the plan of stated salary impos-
sible.
| State Printer Gorham has reached
Olympia and is getting ready to begin
| work on the session laws.

SHEEP MUST BE CLEAN.
o. r. E. N. Refuses to Ship Animals
Without Inspectors Approval.


Agent E. c.. Smith, of the o. r. &
n, at Pendleton has just received a
letter from C. j. Mills, livestock agent
of the system, giving positive instruc-
tons regarding the shipment of sheep
this season.
The circular strictly enjoins all
agents of the o. r. & n. system to
refuse to receive sneep for yardage or
shipment unless accompanied by the
certificate of the federal inspectors, ii
such sneep are destined for out-of-
state points.
Last year concessions were granted
shippers giving them the privilege OF
dipping at destination, but this sea-
son it is imperative that all sheep des-
tined for points out of the state must
he dipped once, if known to be clean,
and twice if infected and the railroads
will not receive sheep not having GER
tificates from federal authorities to
this effect.
Last wear several shipments sent out
IF This state developed scab after
reaching Montana, and the Montana
authorities have made loud complaint
against any further permits being
granted to Oregon sheep.

Prejudice.

The word prejudice" comes from
two Latin words, pro or pre-" be-
forehand. and "judico." judge. There
fore "prejudice' means the forming OF
an opinion beforehand or before knowl-
edge To form an opinion or declare a
judgment concerning any subject with
out or ignoring knowledge is "preju-
dice" An opinion formed after life
long acquaintance and experience and
after thorough investigation and study
may be erroneous, but cannot properly
be styled prejudice" When the teach
ing and experiences Of the world are
disregarded. when the facts Of history
and science are ignored or denied, the
conclusions or opinions thus arrived at
must not only be mistaken. but they
must be the result of prejudice.
