COURT JURNAL.

The resolutions of the Walla Walla
bar association upon the death of its
esteemed member, Judge William H.

July, 1888, and member of the ter
On October 1, 1899, he was elected
Judge of the superior courts of Walla
Walla and Franklin counties-the first
superior Judge of said counties after
the admission of the territory of
Washington to statehood, and served
as such superior judge until the Sec

Able and Resourceful.
AS lawyer, William H. Upton was
able, resourceful, well grounded and
honorable alike to his clients and his
brothers of the profession. AS a
Judge he was able, fair, courteous,
fearless and possessed of great ad-
ministrative capacity, and he won the
good will and admiration not only OF
the bar of Walla Walla, but of all the
counties over whose courts he pre-
sided, temporarily, or occasionally,
during his term of service as superior
judge. AS citizen, Judge Upton was
publicspirited, ever alert to aid any
and all public movements for the
public good, and as a neighbor and
friend, he was courteous, honorable,
genial, charitable, greatly beloved.
Therefore, Be it Resolved. That we.
the members of the Walla Walla
County Bar association do sincerely
regret and mourn the death of our
late brother, William H. Upton; that
we here make public profession OF
our estimation of his high character
and legal attachments, that we de-
clare that the bar, not only of Walla
Walla county, but also of the state OF
Washington, has lost one of its most
able and distinguished members; that
to perpetuate this our tribute OF re-
spect to his memory, we move the
Judge of the superior court of Walla
Walla county to make an order that
these resolutions be spread at large
upon the journals of said court, and
hereby direct the officers of this as
ISOLATION to present copy hereof TO
the bereaved family of our said de-
ceased brother.

These rules have been adopted by the
annual conclave held recently in San
Jose, Cal.
No member of this fraternity shall
be allowed to imbibe any kind of in
toxicatlng liquor during school terms
says the Spokane Chronicle.
No member under a certain age
shall be permitted to use tobacco
while attending school. The latter
resolution was passed because of the
criticism that as soon as a boy be-
comes pledged to hlgn school ira
ternity he buys a pipe and becomes
a constant smOner.
It was also decided that in order
to De an active member of the Fl
Delta Koppa, good standing in class
work is required.
There was a number of Spokane
boys in attendance at the annual con-
cave, among them Tom Halhday'
Cyrus Happy, Jr.; Chester Harvey
and Fred Stanton. 1t is expected that
the passage of these measures may
have the effect of doing away with
some of the unfavorable criticism Oh

as all over the country.
