LITTLE OPPOSITION To
BONDS IN SCHOOL DISTRICT
Vote Yesterday Showed 217 For the
Bonds and But II Opposed--Board to
Proceed at Once to Sell $4,000
s--Will Visit Sound Cities and
Study High School Architecture.

The vote yesterday at the special
school district bond election showed
that the patrons of the district are
heartily in favor of better school IA
cilities and the bonds carried by n
vote of 217 for and II against. The
members of the school board feel
very well pleased that the patrons Of
the district should vote their APP
prevail of the plans of the board. The
$4,000 worth of bonds will be sold
at once and it is thought that they
can be sold for not more than A per
cent
The members of the board expect
to take a trip to the Sound in the
near future and make a study Of the
architecture of some of the lately
built high school buildings 1t IS
desired that the building here will be
a commodious as we'll as a handsome
building, and the members of the
board want to see what some of the
other cities are erecting in the way
of high school buildings before ask
ing for plans for building here. The
matter of erecting the new buildings
here, the high school building and
the south end building, will be hur-
ried just as rapidly as possible 81
as to get them both finished in TIM
for occupancy next fall.
The old high school site has not
been sold as yet, but the board has
an offer on it, equal to the amount
at which the site was purchased
with the interest, and it is likely
that it will be sold soon. The con-
tract has already been made for the
new site.

RECORDS Of
POLICE COURT
JUDGE PALMER HAS DOCKETED
351 CASES DURING THE YEAR
$1,112.55.

Judge Palmer has not had sine
cure this year in his office. His re-
port, which will be presented to the
city council tonight, shows that for
the year ending December 81 he had
docketed 351 cases. The cash fines
collected amounts to $1,112.55. The
labor fines imposed by days amounts
to 1908 days. There were 26 fines
RENTED on account of the physical
inability to perform manual labor
and there were thirteen cases sent
out of the city-in other words the
Judge imposed fine of street work
or gave the option of so many hours
to leave the city.
Judge Palmer has become a terror
to evil-doers and he has conducted
the Office of police magistrate in a
business-like manner.

M|[LER-WHEE[ER
WATER SUIT
DECISION RENDERED THIS
MORNING BY JUDGE STEINER
IN FAVOR OF PHILIP MILLER
LONG DRAWN OUT SUIT.

Judge Steiner this morning rem
dered his decision in the well known
suit regarding the diversion of the
waters of the Squillchuck in favor of
Philip Miller. The suit was directed
against Peter Wheeler, Jay Cushing,
Morris and other settlers, who have
utilized a number of springs along
the side hills above the Squillchuck.
The water of these springs have
been diverted to irrigation and other
purposes and the flow has been taken
away from the Squillchuck. Attor-
neys Carroll B. Graves, of Seattle,
and Ira Thomas, of this city. repre-
sented Mr.. Miller in the suit and
Reeves & Reeves and Ludington &

held against the Nolop heirs. There
are some $50 defendants in the suits
that were being tried this week, and
as far as the superior court is Goa
cerned the cases are ended and the
cloud on the title has been lifted.
The motion to dismiss the action
was made yesterday forenoon by At
torneys Reeves & Reeves and Thomas
e Sorenson, for the defendants, and
Judge Steiner asked until 8 o'clock
this morning to prepare his decision
on the motion. He was delayed in
this until 10 o'clock. AT that time
the courthouse was well filled with
those interested in the outcome of
the case.
The effect of the decision was to
dismiss the case and to sustain all
demurrers upon the complaint in
which the $50 defendants are rep
resented There are some 200 to 800
defendants who were not represented
some of whom have not as yet been

QUALITY OF APPLES.

Mr.. and Mrs. Port Packwood re-
turned last week from several
weeks trip to Nebraska, where Mr..
Packwood took about 1900 boxes of
apples which he raised on the En-
tiat. Mr.. Packwood had it very
plainly demonstrated to him while in
the east that this valley could not af-
ford to raise anything but the best
grade of apples. His shipment con-
sisted of Black Bens, Staymen Wine
saps and Rome Beauties. He also
took with him a few Delicious and
Winesap apples. These were given
out as samples of what could be
grown here. Even the novice in the
quality of apples can plainly see the
difference when cutting into a Deli
cious apple and that of Black Ben.
an apple seller is up against in the
east, and he came back a strong
convert to the idea that this valley
can produce too fine varieties of ap-
pies to bother with the inferior
grades.
Mr.. Packwood received on an aver
age of 81 per box for his apples, and
it cost him about soc per box to get
them back to Nebraska, so he lost
nothing by the trip.

ISE TO OBEY LAW.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Jan. s.
In a motion for rehearing in the
Missouri custer suit against it, filed
il the supreme court here today the
Standard Oil Company of Indiana
asked to be allowed to remain in
Missouri as long as it conforms 10
rules and regulations that may be
'a'l down by the court.
An appeal was also filed with the
court for a remission of the fine OF
$4,000 imposed on the Republic Oil
Company on the ground that this
company has gone out of business
While the company has filed mo-
ton for a rehearing it is said the
Standard Oil attorneys will seek a
modification of the recent decision
of the supreme court. Attorney Ger
eral Hadley will not consent to g
modification of the decision until tbs
supreme court orders it. The com
pany especially desires to be allowed

IN LEGAL TANCLE
over SALOON LAW
OPINIONS OF LOUISIANA ATTOR-
NEY GENERAL AND NEW Or
LEANS ATTORNEY DIFFER
DRASTIC CHANGES ENACTED.

New Orleans, La, Jan. 5.-Vari-
ously interpreted and threatened
with a test of it's constitutionality in
some particulars, the Gay-Shattuck
saloon regulation law, which went
into effect today, will compel many
changes, some of them drastic, in the
present method of conducting the
liquor business in this state. The
attorney general and the city attor-
ney of New Orleans are wide apart
in their constructions of the law.
The latter holds that saloon keepers
who are already in business need
not secure permits for 1909.
The clause of the new law which
prohibits foreigners from operating
barrooms will undoubtedly involve a
test on constitutional lines. Many
claim that it is an abrogation of
treaty rights in which they partici-
pate.

The further effect of the decision

months business has been stagnant

provement of the section south of

of the lawyers here is that Judge

will be upheld.
1t is likely that an appeal will be

The decision rendered by Judge

conciseness. A ndniler of the attor-
eys who were in the courtroom this
morning express seq then selves that it
was one of the finest opinions ever
beard from a bench. The following
:. the decision in I1lI.
The question raised by motion to
dismiss the action is this:
Where husband and his wife set
tie upon public lands of the United
States, and the husband makes home
stead entry thereof, AMI he and his
wife continue to reside upon and
cultivate the land for the period re-
quired by law and the wife then
dies, and the husband thereafter
"proves up and received a patent
to the land, does the husband take
it as his sole and separate property,
or did the wife during her life time
acquire a community property inter-
est therein, which, on her death in
testate, descended to her heirs?
The plaintiffs maintain that the
wife acquired community property
interest in the land; and cite IN sup
port of their contention a line of
cases of our own supreme court, be-
ginning with Ahern VS.. Ahern, which
hold that way. The defendants, on
the other hand, maintain that the
land became the sole and separate
property of the husband, and that
these plaintiffs have no interest
therein; and cite McCune VS. Essig,
of the federal court and Hall VS.. Hall
and Cunningham VS.. Krutz of our
own supreme court.
Although our court was not called
upon in the last two cases to decide
the precise question raised here, still
the language used in the opinions
seems to sustain the contention of
defendants, Notwithstanding the
Ahern and related cases.
But it is conceded that the ques
ton involved is a federal question;
and hence. we must look ultimately
20 the federal law and the fedora.

OF course, the homestead patent
conveys just such title and estate in
