High pressure covers the United
States from the Pacific to the east
ern part of the Mississippi valley.
Low pressure extends from Florida
over the Atlantic states into east
ern Canada and thence to Alberta.
The influence of the high pressure
seems to have maintained fair
weather over the greater part OF
the country during the last 81
hours, but the low pressure has
caused somewhat general precipita-
ton from the middle of Canada and
the DakOtas to the north Atlantic
coast. From the Pacific to the
western slope of the Rockies most
of the temperature changes have
been slight, with temperatures in
the Pacific states generally about
normal, and higher temperature in
western Canada; but in the United
States the high pressure has caused
a general and considerable fall of
temperature eastwardly of the
Rockies that has reached the in
tensity of a cold wave in North
Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska and
Missouri. Conditios this morning
are somewhat unsettled, but give
a probability of fair weather to-

requests for additional car facii-

passed the franchise asked by the
Washington Water Power company
for new car lines on Division and

The granting of tho franchise
was urged at recent meeting OF
the people of that locality held at
the Hamilton school. Several pc,
titions in favor of granting the
franchises were circulated and
signed by hundreds of property
owners and citizens living in the
territory tributary to the proposed
extensions.
The only objection to the build
ing of the new lines was entered
by property owners residing along

is proposed to remove the car line

They filed a demonstrating petition,
but in the meeting at the Hami

MORRISON IS NOT

Presents Bill for 1885 for Services
in 377 Insanity Cases.

Not content with the many thou
sands of dollars CLEANED from the
public treasury through the laxity
of indulacnt county commissioners,
Or. w. r. Morrison, county physi-
clan end health officer for seven
years, has filed bill for $685.
with the county auditor for services
in 377 insanity cases at SIS per
head.
The eagerness Of the former Of
fetal is likely to lead him to trou-
Bile, and the bill may prove a
boomerang, for Chairman Nc
Broom of the present board Of
county commissioners stated this
morning that while the matter has
not been brought to his official
recognition, it may result in the ex-
porting of the accounts of Morrison
extending over the seven years he
held office.
1t is estimated that while hold
ing the two positions of county
physician and health officer in this
county, Morrison earned in the
neighborhood of $4,000.
He received 500 per month as
county physician and 81 per mile
