The attorney general of Olympia, WASH, is ad-
vocating change in the jury system, that eight in
stead of twelve men shall constitute jury. He is
so thoroughly convinced such jury is necessary
that he intends to bring the proposition before the
coming legislature, and endeavor to have bill
passed which will meet present.day requirements.
The arguments he advances in favor of his idea is
that it will expedite court and be the of
saving thousands of dollars to the state annually
Furthermore, he says that Utah has such law on
its statute books and it has not only proved salts
factory, but has been declared constitutional by the
highest legal authority in the United States
This suggestion has been before several of the
state legislatures for many years. but it has always
been frowned on as too revolutionary. Nowadays,
everything is haste 1t is likely that this increasing
tendency will finally invade the judiciary But there
is nothing alarming in having juries composed of
eight instead of twelve In fact six could rem
der as efficient service eight. The delay usually
attending jury trials is DUE not because of there be-
ing twelve the jury, but because of some OBJ
stinate person who will not surrender his opinion to
the majority These obstinate persons will not be
eliminated, no matter how many men constitutes q

Gov. HUGHES has finally been successful in get
ting his bill passed which prohibits race-traok gam
bling in New York state. The measure went thru
by very small majority nevertheless the governor
considers his victory the crowning achievement Of
his administration and feels very proud of the result
He certainly should take pride in accomplishing this
stupendous task, for he had arrayed against him
some of the smartest politicians in the state-men
who had at their command unlimited wealth to infu-
ence the outcome.
The governors victory is only temporary AS soon
as his administration ceases to exist and the execn

CALEB POWERS and James Howard, the two men
who have been suspected for the past eight years of
being the instgators in the assassination of Governor
Goebe have been released from custody This ends
of the most noted cases that has ever occurred
in Kentucky. That there grave doubts to the
guilt of these two evidenced by the monster
petition presented to the governor asking for their
release. In view of the evidence against Caleb Pow
ers, circumstantial tho it may be, he can consider
himself fortunate in having influential friends. If
he had been less popular it is likely that he would
have paid the extreme penalty of the law years ago.

into the postofice room. For two
hours or more he is usually very busy
opening and distributing the two mails
that arrive during the night. In some
way some boys learned Of this condi-
ton, and how easy it was to go thru
the two tills, and for some time they
have been going every morning after
the change that was left in the cash
drawer. One time they got as much
as So. One of the two boys implicated
three others, but his story has not been
verified. Just what will be done about
the matter has not yet been deter
mined. Some of the boys are quite
young, while others of them are old
enough to know the gravity of their
offense.

George and Edwin Hoxsey and one
of Mr.. Kringle's boys were out on the
hill south Of town, opposite the foot
bridge across the dam, one day this
week and ran across the rusty and de-
cayed remnants of an old rifle. The
barrel was deeply rust-eaten, still show
ing the evidence OF an octagon barrel
of the old cap and ball variety. A
piece of the stock with some thin sheet
copper where it had been mended was
all that was left of the wooden parts.
A piece of the lock was also found.
The brass trigger guard was in a good
state of preservation. Near the gun
they found few bones. A leg and
arm bone was identified by DR.. Hoxsey
as human remains. There has always
existed a tradition among old-timers
that an Indian battle was fought neal
where the relics were found.

George Siverly, of Wenatchee Lake,
spent several days here this week. He
says the Lamb-Davis Lumber Co. has a
force of men at work on the White
River log jam. This jam has obstruct-
ed the river for many years and its re-
moval will permit the use of the stream
for logging purposes. Many of the
ranchers in the White River valley
have logs to put in the river and have
only waited the removal of the obstruc-
tion.

Mr.. Goodyear, the democratic can
didate for congress, addressed the
voters in the opera house last Thurs
day evening. Not having had the
pleasure to hear him we can make no
comment on his speech. 1t was how
ever entirely satisfactory to the mem
bers OF his political faith. He is edi-
tor of the Colfax Commoner, one of the
best country weeklies in the state, and
has the reputation of being most en-
tertaining talker. The sole object OF
his candidacy is to hold the party in
line for future possibilities. Mr.. Poin-
dexter, his republican opponent, will
be elected without doubt by a major
ity ranging from four to six thousand.
Mr.. Mitchell Stevens, from Ellensburg,
the democratic candidate for joint
senator from Chelan and Kittitas coun-
ties was also present and talked briefly
of his candidacy. So far as his cleo
ton is concerned he is leading for
lorn hope. 1t is due to both gentle
men to say that they are conducting
a clean, manly campaign, free from
personalities.

Notice was received last week that
Mrs. Gus Bjork died in Minneapolis.
Both G. ]. and his brother, John, de-
parted for Minnesota on receipt of the
sad news. Mrs. Bjork left here over
two months ago. Her health had been
failing for some time and it was hoped
that change of air and different
medical treatment, possibly a surgical
operation, would result in restoring her
to health. Mrs. Bjork was well known
here as a most estimable and kind
hearted woman. She leaves husband
and two children and innumerable
friends who sincerely sympathize with
the bereaved family.

Ernest Spencer, the republican NOM
inee for county auditor, arrived last
Saturday from Lakeside, his present
home, and spent Sunday and part OF
Monday with old Leavenworth friends.
He reports a very satisfactory condition
of his candidacy thruout the county.
Here, where he lived some fourteen
years and is known as gentleman in
every sense of the word. he will poll a
very large vote. If the republican vo-
tiers of Chelan county do not support
him solidly at every vc+iHs box II can
only be explained by admitting that
they do not want republican in office.
He is as we'll qualified for auditor as
any man in the county, is politically
straight, morally clean and would make
a satisfactory officer in every respect.
