Beginning on June IL the fee for
marriage licenses will drop 81 offer
ing a great encouragement to enter
prising couples to put off impending
events in this line until after that
date. The present price for a license
is $5, but the late legislature, feeling
that it should do something to eucour-
age matrimony, clipped 81 off this
fee, and the new law goes into effect
on the above date.
A change is also made in the fee
for filing each chattle mortgage and
conditional sale contract, the new
fee being 80 cents; fees for articles Of
incorporation and the like, other than
for recording, are to be rs cents.
The recording Of plats will cost 25

terry plats, which are to be 10 cents
for each lot, with minimum fee OF

The gasoline launch ''Concordia, !"
on her trip from here to Anacortes

her rescue and towed her into port.
Mr.. Bugge says that when he arrived

ably camped on the beach and were
to make nig.t of it. The
Concordia is still lying at the dock
here, while her owner is negotiat ting

Quarantine Against
Washington Sheep

DR.. S. B. Nelson, State Veterinar-
ian, and head of the State College
of veterinary science, is
making strong effort to have Wal:a
Walla, Garfield, Columbia and Asotin
counties released from the quarantine
which the state of Oregon last week
declared against the sheep of Wash
ington. The state vetinarian points
out that these counties are so separ-
ated from the rest of the state by the
Columbia and Snake rivers, that scab
and other infectious diseases to which
Oregon objects, have not spread to
them In conference with Governor
Chamberlain last week, DIR. Nelson
and Mr.. H. c. Bryson, president of
the Wenaha Wool Growers Associa-
tion, produced evidence purporting
that in the inspection of 21, 900 sheep,
of Walla Walla county, and all the
sheep of Asotin county, not one sheep
was found to be infected with scab.
The sheep of these counties are sum-
mered in the Wenaha forest reserve
(the Blue Mountain range of south
eastern Washington and northeast
ern Oregon), and afidavits from the
forest rangers in charge of this re-
serve were produced, which affirmed
that no scab had ever existed among
the sheep of that reserve.
