Replacing Damaged Track.

The O.-W. R. & n. Co., nee 0. r. & n,
is replacing it's Y track across the South
Palouse at the freight depot. This
piece OF track, which was supported on
piles driven in the bed of the stream,
was put out OF commission by the food
last March and left looking like scenic
railway with its up and down grades
1t is now being replaced in more sub
stantial manner. Instead of the track
being carried on piles and thus subject
to flood ravages, the river will be crossed
with two'32-foot spans, supported by a
substantial pier OF protected piling in
the center. This plan of construction
will mean a less obstructed river channel
at that point.

SHOWS that costs we're intended and con
templated in garnishment cases, end the
statute specifically directs how and in
what manner the costs shall be assessed
Sec 497, Rem. & Bal. code, provides
that the defendant or other adverse
party shall pay 81 for the appearance.
Reading all these statutes together
We are therefore of the opinion that
there should be fee charged as the clerk
has been doing in Whitman county:
tiret, for the appearance OF garnishee
defendant; and, second, for a judgment
in garnishmen+; such fees to be included
IN the costs and be assessed as provided
by the above quoted statutes"

and convincing figures showing the
financial difficulties which have beset the
board of directors and have been sur
mounted by their management. He
gave sound advice as to the future
financing OF the undertaking and assured
the taxpayers OF gradual reduction OF

exercises and basket ball games, the
crowd of spectators overfowing the ca
pacity OF the gallery. This we'll equipped

FEES IN GARNISHMENT CASES
Opinion n of Attorney General on Query
from Whitman County.

In answer to query concerning fees
chargeable in garnishee cases, addressed
by County Clerk Newman to the state
Bureau of Inspection and Supervision of
Public Offices, the following opinion OF
the attorney general was given, which will
be OF particular interest to attorneys:
You have submitted to this office the
letter of the clerk OF Whitman county
inquiring as to certain fees in garnish-
ment cases. The clerk desires to know
whether or not there shall be fee for
entering and fling a judgment in a
garnishment case, and whether or not
there should be fee charged for the
appearance OF the garnishee defendants.
"We are OF the opinion, after an ex-
animation of the statutes, that there
should be an appearance fee for the
garnishee defendants, and also for enter
ing and filing judgments in garnishment
cases.
although a garnishment proceeding
is subsidiary to and dependent upon the
main suit, nevertheless, Sec. 683, Rem. (
Bal. code, provides that the clerk shall
docket the case virtually as new case.
Sec 693, Rem & Bal. code, provides for
judgment which may be rendered
against the garnishee defendant and the
enforcement thereof. Sec. 704, Rem. &
Bal code, provides that when the gar
nishee is discharged upon bis answer, the
costs of the proceeding, including q
reasonable compensation to the gar
nishee for attorney 3 fees, shall be taxed
against the plaintiff; and where the
answer OF the garnishee defendant has
not been controverted and the garnishee
is held thereon, such costs shall be taxed
against the defendant and included in
the judgment. Where the answer is con-
troverted the costs shall abide the iseue
OF such contest.

WHITMAN POPULATION SHY.
Census Does Not Give Enough for
Seventh Class County.

Whitman county, according to the
federal census figures announced this
week, lacks 1920 people of having the
requisite population OF 5000 to make
it county of the seventh class, to which
it was raised from the ninth class By
action of the board OF county commits
sioners four years ago. The raise in
classification was based principally upon
an affidavit and showing made by n. D.
Showalter, then superintendent OF schools,
that there were more than $4,000 people
IN the county.
The effect of advancing the county to
the seventh class was to raise the annual
salaries of the county officers from $500
TO $500 each, which increased stipend
they have since enjoyed. The raise was
$500 each for the auditor, clerk, treas
urer, sheriff and prosecuting attorney,
$500 for the school superintendent, coro-
ner from statutory fees to a straight
salary OF $500, and county commission
ers from per diem of 81 for time actu-
ally served to an annual salary of $500
and all expenses.
While the county has population en-
titling it to place in the eighth class,
no increase OF salaries goes with the
advance from the ninth to the eighth
class. In this connection it may be
stated that the accuracy Of the census
OF Whitman county is questioned by
those who do not wish to see the county
lowered in class, they contending that it
has the required population, and for
proof cite the school census. To arrive
at the number Of inhabitants by this
means the ratio of 3 5 is used. that is,
three and q half persons for every child
of school age. That this ratio is con-
servative is generally admitted. Ac-
cording to the 1910 census returns the
ratio in this county is trife over 8 2,
and the average for the whole state is
50.

Monday evening q desperate game of
Rugby was waged between the first
and second teams of the college. The
first team undertook the task of scor-
ing 20 points on the younger men in
35 minute halves. Not only did they
fail but they met foemen worthy in
deed
The final score was 19 TO o. but the
effort has cost st. Mary's four OF it's
best men for tomorrow's game against
the California varsity. 1t is not un-
likely. too. that Simpson and Starrett
will be una bic to appear any more
this year. The former has an injured
shoulder, while Starrett is confined to
bed with a badly wrenched ankle.
Cam, J. Roth and Bell. all of the first
team, are more or less in a bad way.
