Why has not some Senator or Rep
reStntative introduced a bill provid-
ing for a Constitutional amendment
submitting proposed measures before
their passage, to the Supreme Court
as to their conStitutiOnality? Such
Il provision is embodied in other State
constitutions which result in avoid
ing delay, annoyance and expense.
T. T. LanSridge. of Elma, recently
paid our community visit. He APP
preciatcs old friends. The banquet
of the X. of p. doubtless FASTENED
his coming. He reported that his
wife was in good health. but that his
child had been ON the sick list. He
also said A. l.. Callow and family
were in good health, and that Ar
thurs time is we'll occupied.
The Tenino condemnation cases
having occupied SO much of the SUI
periOr Courts time during the pres
ent month. it is probable another
jury list will be prepared for next
April's session of the court. Under
the present law no jury panel can be
held for longer term than one
month, unless necessary to finish the
actual trial of a case at the end of the
month.

Judge Linn has dissolved the re-
straining order granted to protect
Justice Frost in retention of his Of
flee of Committing Magistrate until
showing had been made. Mr..
Frost will vacate the Office, but will
not surrender the records until the
court decides in the pending suit of

preme Court.
The Legislature ought to provide
some better method for the rendition
of the accounts of State officials,
who only report once a month ag-
gregate amounts of money received
to the State Treasurer. If a private
individual or corporation should pur-
sue such policy, bankruptcy would
soon be apparent; but as it is, losses
resulting from mistakes or fraud are
recouped at the expense of the gen.
eral taxpayers.
On and after March 1st, Postmas-
tiers will have on sale neat little
books containing % One-cent stamps,
with oiled paper between the leaves
to prevent sticking together, at the
face price of 25 cents each. This
will prove a great convenience as
well as saving to the user of stamps
who frequently loses or destroys
them when carried without some
protection, and their use will doubt
less become quite general.

who have been quite ill with measles.
Eight of the family were afflicted at
the same time, including Mrs. John
sons mother, who is over 80 years

good. His affection seems to have a
rheumatic tendency, but Mrs. H.,
with all of her onerOus duties, keeps
well. She is we'll schooled in nursing
sick people, and takes pleasure in
that duty.
1t is claimed that parties have
been taking wood off from lots z, 8
and 9, block 2, Fourth Street addi-
ton. The owners are trying to To-
cate the culprits. Some people think
they have a right to 60 into high
way and cut down trees, and no one
has any right to object, except per-
haps the county. The courts gen.
orally hold the owner of contiguous
land has also title to the timber to
the center of the street, subject only
to the right of the public to make
appropriation of it for repairs made
in such vicinity.
