Senate Bill No. &c. which became a law at the
recent sitting of the legislature permits the board
of county commissioners, with the approval of the
superior Judge, to divide the county into judicial
districts, and then deputy county clerk and
sheriff shall be appointed to take of the busi
ness of each district. In this event all cases aris
ing in any of the districts must be tried there
in by resident jurors and the result of all deliber-
ations certified to the clerk at the county seat
The law will not go into effect until June L. but as
some people believe that it will subserve the best
interest of the county to put the law into effect,
the commissioners considering the advisiability
of such an order. 1t is optional with the board
whether they place the county under the provis-
ions of the act. Newport, Springdale, Hunters or
Northport may be designated as points where
court will be held
That James J. Hill Lord Mount Stephen, Lord
Strathcona and few others associated in the de-
velopment of the Hill railroads of the northwest
have in about 30 years divided among themselves
the colossal sum of $407, ,OOO0 600, exclusive of div
idends, interest or other emoluments, and that
this stupendous fortune has been made from an
original investment of nothing is the amazing
assertion made by Charles Edward Russell in an
article entitled The Heart of the Railroad Prob
lem'' in the April number of Hampton's Magazine.
Incredible as this amount is, the present investi
gator has found it to be 'ony part of the col0s-
sal profits coined from an investment of nothing
by this most wonderful American money making
machine.
After June IL it will be unlawful in Wash
ington for any person owning saloon to obstruct
the view of the inside of his place of business
from the outside by means of any screen or shade
or other device. This is provision of the new
criminal code, section 243.
AS originally prepared by the code commission
it was intended that this provision should apply
only to Sundays and to other days when saloons
are required to be closed, its purpose being to rem
der it less difficult to enforce the Sunday closing
law AS introduced the provision read
Every person being the owner or manager of
or an employe in any drinking saloon who shall
obstruct the view of the inside thereof on any day
on which the sale of intoxicating liquors is pro-
hibted by law shall be guilty of a misdemeanor
When this section was read in the senate Sena-
tor Cotterill of King county offered an amendment
striking the words ''on which the sale of intoxica-
ting liquors is prohibited by law and it was
adopted leaving the provision to apply to all days.
The new code goes into effect in three months from
the date of the adjournment Of the legislature.
