TO TEST LAWS
Supreme Court Will Soon Decide on
Direct Primary, Railroad Com
mission and Gum Tax Law

Olympia, May 5.-The supreme
court calendar for the May term this
year will contain 1876 cases, as
against 129 cases for the same .erln
last year.
At the October term the docket
contained 209 cases, but the fall ses-
sion of the court is always the
heaviest.
Among the most important suits
now pending in the court from this
county is the direct primary Law ca {,
instituted by Gordon Mackay against
the City of Olympia; the state rail-
road commissiOn cases agaiua Ee
various railroads of the state, and
suits from Stevens and Lincoln
counties, which will test the consti u
tionality of the Gum tax law.
The direct primary case and the
state railroad cases are primarily to
test the consti:utionality of these
acts and these cases will in all prob
ability head the docket.
The appeal from Stevens and LIN
coin counties will test the Gum
law, which exempts moneys and cred
it's from taxation. The decision in
this case will be eagerly looked for,
because II the court knocks out the
act 1t will mean that many of the
counties OF tna stata will have -

A SCHOOL PROBLEM
Question of More Room for Students
Must be Solved Before
Fall,

The school board is trying to bring
about a solution of the problem of
more room for next year.
The high school will have next year
an attendance of 160 or ITO students,
and the present quarters will not
come anywhere near holding them all.
The Whitman school building may
be used for high school purposes and
the eight grade transferred to the
Stevens. Something will have to be
done within another year to increase
the school room, and the increase in
the valuation of property in this dis
trict this year will probably allow the
floating of an issue of bonds large
enough to build a suitable building
on the site already chosen for that
purpose.

RANCHER
ARRESTED
S. p. Beecher Charged with Blowing
Up Flume with Dynamite
Placed Under Bond.

s. P. Beecher, a prominent resi-
| dent of PeShastin, was arrested We'd
nesday, charged with blowing up the
flume of the Gibbs Ditch Co., near
Peshastin, with dynamite, and Is now
under a $4,000 bond.
The Gibbs Ditch Company brought
an action against Beecher some time
| ago to secure a right of way across
his land, so that they could enlarge
the present flume which they now
have, and which runs across Beech
er's land. The case was tried at the
| last term of court and Beecher re-
sisted the condemnation proceedings
| strenuously.
After a trial lasting a couple of
days, and the jury being taken up
to the locus operandi, a verdict was
| brought in allowing the company to
proceed with their work, also allow
ing Beecher $500 damages. The case
was then appealed to the supreme
court
During the interim, the case still
lying in wait to be decided in the
supreme court, the company have
proceeded to make their alterations,
| and, upon entering upon Beecher's
land, they found that he resented
their action and had considerable
trouble with him, so it is alleged.
Wednesday evening, the ditch
walker of the company, in making
his rounds, claims that he found dy-
Mantle sticks under the fiume and
fuse already lighted. He found Mr.
Beecher there, and they indulged in
an encounter which resulted in the
ditch walker hitting Beecher over
the head with a hammer.
! Beecher was arrested the next day,
and a preliminary hearing was held
resulting in Beecher being bound
over to the Superior Court under
bonds to the extent of $4,000.

run between Brewster and Riverside

The boat will make the run three
times week summer affording
transportation to all points along
the river as far north as Riverside.
Considerable interest is being
manifested in the fact that the Gov

providing for the appropriation Of

umbia river SO that boats can go to

vention hall has been secured large

The entertainment of the large
number of people who will attend the
convention has been so arranged by
the committee in charge that not

inconvenience.
At a meeting of the Local Union,
the following representative citizens
were appointed chairmen of the
several committees, and have charge
of the work connected with the con-
vention: l.. l.. Seely, of the clothing

MONTHLY MEET
ING MONDAY
Commercial Club Will Meet to Dis
cuss the Water Bond Issue and
County Bond Issue.

The regular meeting of the Com
mercial club will be held next Mon
day night when the city water bond
issue will be discussed
The question is one of great import
to the city, and in order that no mis-
understanding may arise the ques-
tion will be taken up next Monday
night.
The question of bonding the city
will also be taken up. At the pres
ent time the county is in need of
great improvements. Heretofore the
expense of these improvements have
been met largly as they were made.
1t is felt that the interest of the
county might be subserved by the is
uing of bonds.

The Wenatchee Fire Department
deserve considerable praise for the
manner in which they succeeded in
putting out the fire yesterday in
Bruce Griggs' woodshed
The pull was a hard one through
the sand and rock on Chelan avenue,
but it was only few minutes after
the alarm sounded that the blaze was
out.
The wood shed close behind the
house made the blaze doubly danger
Gus, but good work succeeded in pre-
venting the spread of the confiagra-
tion
Besides the loss of the wood and
the damage to the shed Mr.. Griggs
lost four valuable trees about FIVE
years old.
