There is complaint in several To-
calitirs in this State among attorneys,
especially with the younger members
OF the profession. that under the
present cumbersome system of prac-
ticc in the courts. the fees of Stenog-
raphcrs and typcwriters bring SO
great revenue to the participants,
that the lawyer compensation is
ever Il diminishing quantity.

salmon in our bay with an ordinary
fishing line. Two t'rcdS have been
pulled out of their boat>-F'rcd

1t is said. on pretty gool author
ity. that Out at one Of the Black
mills there is bad blood existing b.
tween certain employer and en-
ployct. Some of the good neighbors

such Il condition exists, to lend their
efforts in bringing about more
pacific feeling between the belliger-
ent parties.
The John II. Saunders bankruptcy

In the document there is an item of
SIS for 30 days services and ex-
penses incident to the use of his
horse and buggy. He claims he
makes no charges for his time.
Gwin Hicks was host of u very
pleasant party at his country home.

was in the form of a farewell given
in honor of Miss Smith. who leaves
shortly on an extended visit with
relatives and friends in Montana.
Dancing, games and music were en-
joyed until a late hour, after which
a delicious supper was served. Every
body reports having had a jolly good
| time.
Clarence V. Boone has returned
after a several weeks touring trip in
the southwestern part of the State
in the interest of the MARKHAM propa-
ganda. He reports good meetings.
He will now settle down and go to
work improving his home and max
ing garden, expecting in the near flu.
ture to work at his trade as mOlder.
In his spare moments he will con
tinuc to study the philosophy OF
Economic Determinism, taking
the plane of materialism as the bast
of his mental calculations.

In view of the facts relating to tn
high tax-levy of 1907. and the poll
tax assessed by the City Council
some our large taxpayers are talkin!
about reviving the Thurston Count.
Tax League, which tiourished severa
years ago. Some of the mill-owner.
are sOlicitous about this high levy
because their property has remained
idle much of the time during tn
1 past year If interest had not lagget
in the movement our present take
: might have been less. This is tn
: year when values are affixed to rea
property for taxation and it behoOve
the owners to see they are treate
fairly.
