Reform Campaign in Spokane.

Spokane, Jan. 21.-The Spokane
Municipal League, which has for it's
object the election for city and coun-
ty offices candidates pledged to
measures which will insure reforms
and clean administration in all pub
lie offices, has launched its cam
paign. The management of the af-
fairs of the organization is in the
hands of Is directors, of which the
executive officers are: President, w.
F. Meier; vice-president, W. H.
Shields; secretary, John F. Sanders;
treasurer. r. T. Hanke. 1t is given
out that the league will not be con-
nected with any political party or
faction. nor is it in any way identi-
fed with the Law Enforcement
league or the Federated Mems clubs,
which recently succeeded in closing
the saloons and three variety houses.
The constitution also provides that
no member may hold public Office
within the state of Washington and
the acceptance of nomination to
any Office by member of the league

When mother went to visit Mrs
Brown, if she forgot her shawl, we
could send it to her a good deal
cheaper than she could buy new
one. We can't now. If we wanted
a box of axle grease, or a bottle of
turpentine, we could send for it by
mail without costing half day S
time. We can't now. If we wanted
a suit cleaned, we could send it to
the tailor for less than the cost of
a new hat. We can't now. But,
then, some very intelligent men, like
the Spokane merchants association
say the parcels post would only in
crease the business of the mail order
houses to the detriment of the coun-

Measures Hardnss, Of Metals.

An instrument to measure the hard
ness OF metals has been recently de-
yised, more especially designed and
found very useful in the manufacture
Of tools like twist drills where the
hardness has to be kept between mar
row limits. II consists Of a glass tube,
within which a steel ball Of 40 grains
weight, treated by = special process
so as to have jewel hardness, falls
freely. The height Of the rebound OF
the ball measures the hardness Of the
metal It strikes Were the area OF
contact between the dropped weight
and the metal larger, so that no ap-
probable dent we're made, the rebound
would be a measure of elasticity rath-
er than hardness. The height OF the
rebound is measured on a scale, Of
which 100 is the average hardness Of
carbon steel, which is also found to be
the safety limit for steel tools after
relocating and temperlng ready for use.

COURT OF CLAIMS
TWO interesting Liquor Selling Cases
Disposed Of.

The court Of claims has reported
all the work in its hands for the BIZ
ennial term of '07'OS ending June
80 to the COMMITTEES ON claims which
has accepted the report and will re-
port findings to the legislature. All
the judgements of the courts have
been affirmed. since June 30 the
court has considered 40 cases inyolv-
ing S5,203.7O. OF these claims %
have been allowed in part or in
part or i'm whole and II disallowed
altogether. The amount allowed is
$3,45G.59 and the amount disallowed
$1,7471l
Among the claims examined are
three of more than passing interes

indicted for selling hard cider in less
quantities than a barrel He was
fined $500 and costi, Of IS. He pail
his fine under protest AT that time
the Supreme court was considering
another case which involved the
same question and its decision was
that the cider clause was unccnsti-
tutional Wait asked for the return
Of his fine and costs. The claim
was allowed by the court OF claims
on the ground that the claimant
had paid his costs and fine under
duress payment not having been
voluntary. The decision is based on
several similar cases by the United
States courts.
Another important case was that
OF the Sandbar bridge commission
which asked for s24S being an
amount in excess Of the appropria-
ton OF $4,000 allowed by the legisla-
ture. 1t also asked for compensa'
ton for the members but the re-
quest was disalowed on the ground
that at the time the appropriation
was asked OF the legislature it was
stated that the commissioners were
willing to work without pay
