UNITED ACTION
IN THE FUTURE
Railroad Commissioners of
Northwestern States Will
Form an Association.

Helena, Mont. April 20.-It is more
than probable that the railroad COM
missioners of the northwestern states
from the Great Lakes to the Pacifics
will be united into an association for
the purpose of bringing about closer
understanding, and a meeting will
shortly be held in Seattle for the pur-
pose Of perfecting the organization.
Chairman B. T. Stanton of the Mon
tana railroad commission, who has Just
returned from a conference of the
Washington, Oregon and Mantana
bodies at Olympia. Wash, stated today
that at a meeting recently held in
Portland, attended by the members of
those commissions, steps had been TAX
en- with this end in view. The proposed
organization is to be called the North
west Division OF the National Associa-
ton of Railroad Commissioners.
Committee Appointed.
A committee consisting of John G.
Lawrence of Washington, s. B. Aitchi-
son of oregon and Nathan Godfrey of
Montana was appointed to invite the
commissions of North Dakota, South
Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin to
meet in Seattle in July next, for the
purpose of forming the association. The
commissioners found that the commits
sions of the several states have to deal
with practically the same railroads. and
have like conditions to contend with
1t was therefore thought better for all
concerned to form a more intimate ac-
quaintan and bring about more unit
ed action through the formation of the
association.
The committee appointed at the Port
land meeting viii convene in Spokane
in the near future to perfect plans for
the permanent organization of the asso-
citation.

port Of our findings and examination

by the Auditor, each and every bill or
account allowed by you; have noted
and compared all fees allowed grand
and petit jurors, witnesses in state
cases, fees of justices of the peace
courts and all other lawful claims,
and have found the amounts and war
rants to agree. We have also check
ed up the receipts of moneys coming
into the hands of the Auditor and find
the amounts have been paid to the
County Treasurer as covered by said
County Treasurer's receipts. We find
the Auditor is entitled to a refund of

fees of witnesses before justices Of
