the Democrat, Superintendent Geo.
|Nevins and e. d. Cusick arrived last
night from their inspection trip.
The old grading is somewhat washed
away in places, and there is an imma-
terial growth in some places, but al
together the route Is very feasible,
and not a hard one to manage. The
party went to independence prairie,
not completing the trip to the sum-
NIT section, said to be rallied. This
was Mr.. Nevins first Cascade expert

to Crook county now, as anticipated.
Instead the head officials are there
themselves, Julius Kruttschnitt, di-
rector of maintenance; General Man.
ager O'Brlen, Attorney Cotton and
George w. Boscke, chief engineer.
This party took automobiles from
Shaniko, and will visit all the promi-

Laidlaw and confer with the people
there in reference to the project.

Albany people have been wonder

OF the wreck Of the Columbia II there
was any one from around Albany in
the awful wreck, one In which wo-

Among those undoubtedly drowned
was Mrs. w. H.. Soules nee Miss

OF the fatality.

GEORGE DoRCAs SMILES.

he an Uncle.

George Dorcas went TO Portland
this morning. and his trip, for once,
had nothing to do with the price of
hops. The truth of the matter is that
Dorcas has felt a trihe sore at his
friend. Kola Neis, getting before the
public as bear hunter OF the Roose-
welt class and prospective recipient
of a Carnegie medal for heroically
saving a human life by packing 1t up
a tree with him. He realized that 1t
was necessary to do something to
keep in the same class with Neis. He
couldn't we'll go bear hunting, and
had but little hope of catching a
bear. or doing a stunt equalling that
of Neis II he did. Fishing stories
are pretty stale. and he didn't want
TO figure In snake episode or an
automobile accident, as both are
dangerous. So. after much thought,
Dorcas concluded to be an uncle,
which he did this morning. Mr.. and

Late last night the jury in the ThOm- as Dodson case was called Into court by Judge GunniIon snd summarily dismiss ed. At the same time Baliff N. J.. Black, who had the jury in charge was discharged. Shortly after It was rumOr- ed bench warrant had been issued for Alderman Shea and during the late hours of the evening many reports as to what would take place today were floating around.
 The f,undatiod for them all was that a box of cigars had been given the jury,
 Early this morning bench warrant was served on Alderman Shea at his residence, by United States Deputy Marshal Mclean and at 10 o'clock, shortly after court met, Judge Guuni- son called MT. Shea to the bar.
 After interrogatinG him as to whether he had given cigars to the bailiH; who had instructed him to send them and whether or not the defendant Thomas Dodson, was in the place where the cigars were given, a4d re- ceived replies thereto from Mir. Shea which showed that the Alderman had DO intention of disobeYing any order of the court, Judge GunnisOn addressed a warning to Mir. Shea, calling attention to the fact that this was the second time ln which cigars had been giver to a jury by owners of the Pack Train saloon; showing how the present offense miL ht prove the entering wedge into |" practice of passing communications to the jury, and, in 8 general way cause an upsetting and miscarriage of justice, he allowed him to withdraw, at the same time telling him that a repetition of the otiense would carry with 1t severe penalty.
 AS soon as Mir. Shea had retired Bailiff Black was called forward. He was asked to detail what took place and in answer said that he had been passed the cigars by Mir. Shea, who told him at the time to ask Judge Gun. nison whether they might be given to the jury; that before he had an oppor- tunlty to do so, they were taken from him ty Juror 0. H.

There was nothing contained in the box other than cigars. It had not been opened. Be had passed the cigars around and that Deputy Marshal Mc- Lean had laken one, members of the jury had slao taken some. He had not thought anything of the matter at the time and meant DO harm, After his explanation he was instructed by the court to sit down.
 Judge GunnisOn then recalled Bsiliff Black. h addressing Mir. Black he said he deprecated the necessity of being forced to fine him, that he appreciated he was a man of family and, in his opinion, small fine would act ss wa, nlng to avoid future cases of the kind. Thereupon the court or dered that,a fine of five dollnrs ba en- tered against Mir. Black.
 Judge Gunnisop then explained at length the gravity of the case. He stated that it was not the intention of the court to make a mountain out of mole hill, but that, had the jury agreed on verdlG;, t1a, verdict, in the event of an appeal, would have been set aside, and the expenses to which the government and the defendant had been put would have been thrown away. With particular clea'ness did Judge Gunnison bring out the far reaching effect sueh practices would have on judicial matters, if they were not checked, and in kindly way warned the jurors to never again be- come parties to such actions.
 The foundation of the government, he stated, rested upon the jury system and once the system was made useless ell government would be destroyed.
 The special venirc was then excused and told to go to the Marshal and re- celve their compensation. One mem Der of the regular venire was allowed to remain in attendance upon the court and will not be disqualified from act- ing.
 Alter the jury had been excused and BailifT Black discharged from the ser- vice as Ballif, the jury made collec' tion and raised sum of money, which was turned over to him.
 The members of the jury understand that, unlntentioDally, they committed an ofTense, and all of them speak in the highest praise for the manner iu which Judge Gunnison condoned their error

OLYMPIA, Jan. 26-That the state
fish commissioners salary be raised
to $1,000 and the superintendent Of

land. The committee found the affairs
of the office entirely satisfactory Elk
tracts from the report follows:
I'VE also find that the present boat,
The Bessie, used in the service of the
fish commissioners office is too small
and unseawOrthy for the purposes in
tended, but are advised that with a
comparatively small expenditure Of
money she may be enlarged and fitted
up so as to more nearly meet the re-
quirements.
LAS to the success of the department
in the preservation of game, we find
that under the present systm it has
little power except general supervis-
ion. The employment of game war
dens, fixing of salaries, ETC., is left al
most exclusively to the various cOun-
ties, and we believe that more efficient
results in this behalf could be obtained
by the creation of system of state
hunters licenses, such as licenses to
be issued by the various county audi
tors, as at present, and the funds turn
ed into the state treasury subject to
distribution upon vouchers from this
department; and the various game
| wardens, their appointment, controy
supervision and compensation placed
directly hinder this department.
I'VE indorse the recommendations
for trout hatchery for western Wash

duties might be combined and per-
formed as efficiently by less number
of men and for less expense than under
existing laws.
