CODE IN HANDS OF
THE STATE PRINTER

After a delay of over a month by
the failure of the code commission to
supply the copy for the new state code
compilation, State Printer Joe Farms
worth has started work on the vol
umes. The compilation will comprise
about 1000 pages, and when printed
and bound will be one of the most
complete codes in the west.
According to one of the measures
passed by the last legislature, the
work of compiling, annotating and in
dexing the code should be completed
by the first day of September, but a
delay has been occasioned on account
of the extra work involved in arrang-
ing and inserting the laws OF the leg
islature into the compilation.
Tt is believed that the state printer
will have the code ready for issue
within the next month or two.-Jour-
nal.

ALL BIDS WE'RE ABOVE THE
ESTIMATES, THE BASCULE
TYPE BEING WAY UP.

Was there a combination on to
keep prices up on the bids for the
Tacoma bridges yesterday?
Every bid was above the esti-
mate.
And the American Bridge COM
pany (the Bridge trust) was the
only bidder on the steel part of the
bridges with the exception of one
bid by a little concern from Beaver
Falls, Pa.
None of the big independent
plants bid at all.
Just why this was SO is not
clear.
And just what the commission
will do tomorrow on the matter Is
not known.
One complete bid was made on
the city waterway vertical lift
bridge by Robert Wakefield of
Portland, for $48S,00O. The esti-
mate was $475,000.
There was one complete bid on
the Puyallup waterway vertical
lift bridge also, the Washington
Engineering company of Tacoma
bidding $146,844. The estimate
was $140,000.

ROSEBURG, Ore, June 81
Southern Oregon Is trying to re-
call the first judge in the United
States to have the ''yank-em-back
to-private-life club" swung at
him.
He is John S. Coke, circuit
judge of the second judicial dis
trict of oregon, with a territory
larger than several New England
states.
In the -Mahan murder
trial here Judge Coke gave this
instruction to the jury:
Gentlemen of the jury, the
placing of a hand at the hiI
pocket constitutes an overt act"
This meant that McClallen was
justified in killing Mahan II he
had his hand in his hip pocket!
The evidence showed that all
the four shots fired at Mahan were
from behind, and that the fatal
shot was fred almost directly
from the back, proving that the
murdered man was neither ad.
vancing ON his slayer, nor facing
him when he was killed!
The coroner reported that II
was impossible for the murdered
man to have had his hand at his
hip when he was killed, but this,
and all other evidence of like sort,
was overshadowed by the judges
instructions, and also by his re-
fusal to give a single instruction
requested by the prosecution,
while giving every one asked 10y
the defense.
When the jury returned its
forced verdict of acquittal the
people all over the judges dis
trict rose and yelled in wrath. The
people, almost to a man, of South
ern Oregon felt, and publicly
stated, that had McClallen not
been an Influential man there
would have been nothing in the
trial, on the evidence produced, to
warrant anything but a verdict of
first degree murder.
Southern Oregon felt that a
man had been killed wantonly,
and that his slayer had escaped
punishment through the twisting
of the law. So the voters or
Southern Oregon invoked the re-
call against Judge Coke.
In every town, and especially
in the country districts, there are
referendum petitions being circu-
lated. They are being signed gen.
orally, and there seems to be
slight doubt that Judge Coke will
be recalled.

Did Bridge Men
Have Combine
nsscule Figures High.

There were bids on both bascule
and vertical lift types for both the
city waterway and Puyallup river
but combination bids had to be
taken.
On the bascuIe for the city wa
terway the International Contract
company on substructure and the
American Bridge company on steel
made up bid of $3.50, 9,348. This
shows the bascule type bridge will
cost $171,34S more than the YER
tical lift type.
On the bascule for the Puyallup
waterway the low bid was by the
International Contract company
and the American Bridge company
again at $259,389, which is $112,-
545 more than the vertical lift
type.
The bids show that the founda-
tions and the steel work. for a bas-
cule bridge will cost far in excess
of the amount of money on hand
for bridge work.
Even the bids on the vertical
lift are $19,844 above the esti-
mate, while the lowest figures on
the bascule type of bridge are
$4,000 above.
There were nine bidders, and all
who presented figures showed that
the bascule type cannot be erected
for the money at hand.

From the soul of q woman a cry
Swept up on the wings of Mother Love

Their ears bent low, gift they sent,
Twas Strength, and the gift was good;
And the light of a fend went out that day.
Went out, as O fiends light should.
Murder? Ah no! No murder there!
Twas a mother who sent up the call,
And think that the cry God help mel"
