NEW APPoINTEE is AT PRESENT

WALLA COUNTY.
UNDER ATTORNEY ?. c. SULLIVAN

Charles T. Hutson, of Council, will
be the second assistant United States
attorney under Potter Charles Sulli-
van Mr. Hutson will assume his du-
ties at once.
Mr.. Sullivans new assistant is state
senator from the Eleventh district,
comprising the counties of Franklin,
Adams and a part of Walla Walla. He
was eected in 1904, and is now only
80 years of age, and was the youngest
senator of the last session. Mr.. Hut
son is regarded by his friends as a
rising young lawyer, and was popular
among his senate colleagues and was
an active legislative worker.
Senator Illusions selection is the
fulfilment of legislative pledge made
by Senator Piles at the time of his
election. An attempt was made to full
fill this pledge when the eastern
| Washington judicial district was Gre
ated but it failed.
1t was agreed that State Repre-
sentative j. B. Lindsey, of Spokane
should be made district attorney and
| Senator Hutson assistant attorney ir
| Eastern Washington. Lindsey's ap.
| pointment was opposed by Attorney
| General Moody on the ground that he
was too young, and George Avery
was substituted, no deputy being al
lowed.
When an appropriation was made
available, Lindsey was made avail
able, Lindsey was made assistan
! district attorney in Eastern Wash
ington. Senator Hutson has nevel
raised any objection to this program
agreeing that as Mr.. Lindsey wa

Railway Commission Confers With
The Officials
WAlA WALA CASE CONSIDERED
RAILROAD GIVEN TIME TO PRE-
PARE AND SUBMIT A NEW
SCHEDULE.

!, A conference lasting from $3.50
o'clock in the morning till o'clock in
the evening was held in Portland
Saturday between the members of the
Washington railroad commission and
the traffic officials of the o. R. & N,
the Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern railroads. This conference
was arranged at the time of the ad-
jounment of the recent Walla Walla
freight rate hearing, and was for the
avowed purpose of trying to reach an
| lance tariff schedule for the state Of
Washington.
The Walla Walla hearing was
| brought about by complaints from the
| business men Of that place, who de-
sired a special jobbing rate similar to
that enjoyed by Spokane. The rail-
road commission, being unwilling to

met the Walla Walla complaint with a
proposal to lower the sO-called gen.
eral distance rate of the state to such
a point as would enable Walla Walla
to engage in the jobbing BUSINESS.
At the conclusion of the Walla Wal
la hearing the commission held that
| the testimony showed existing dis
lance tariff rates to be unjust and UNI
reasonable, and the announcement was
officially made that the commission
would promulgate a new and reduced
distance tariff schedule for the state
of Washington.
Gals of the roads are working to.

schedule, and the conference il
Portland was for the discussion of de-
tails of the proposed new rates. At the
