Boarding houses have been estab-

night. All night Sheriff ingalls, and
six deputies patrolled the mine and
sought to find hidden dynamite, but
none was found although the sheriff
is confident that explosives are hid

New mines are to be opened each

CITY RENTS OWN BUILDING.
Walla Walla, Failing to Sell Bonds
Is In Serious Predicament.

! - PtAiOh1
Walla Wala, Wash, Dec. ia
unique case in which a municipality
is forced to obtain possession of pub
lie buildings which 1t authorized to
be erected. has lately come to light
in Walla Walla, when the city coun-
Gil has agreed to rent It's new fire
station from the contractors erecting
II until such time as the city council
was in a position to reimburse the
contractors for the cost of building
the structure.
About a year ago the council voted
to erect a new fire station and citv
hall, at an expenditure of about $780,
600. Shortly after, bonds to the
amount of 100000 were voted by
the city In a special election. to pav
FOR these buildings. Buyers of the
bonds were then sought, and several
eastern firms agreed to take them
providing they were legal But this
is point that has been hard for the
city to settle, for the Indebtedness of
the city is already greater than is
a city Of this class.
However in the meantime, con-
tractors were at work on the struc-
lures, and short time ago the fire
station was completed. The contrac-
tors put up the necessary money for
the erection, and the city so far has
not cent invested Now the citv
VIII rent the completed building from
Ihe contractors until the validity of
he bonds is decided.

County Court Hit.
The same inconvenience that is be-
Ing met with in the circuit court also
applies to the county court. Acting
upon the advice of District Attorney
Phelps the commissioners have de-
cided to hold no session this month
A special session could be called by
giving 10 days notice, but as the court
meets monthly 1t was considered bet

let business wait for the regular jan
