L. e. Harris succeeded on Tuesday
in getting his big motor truck down

The truck then had to be dragged to

COMING WEST

Colonist travel this spring has
exceeded all estimates that were
made bt traffic managers: The
cheap rates that went into effect on
March 10 and lasted thirty days,
have been used more literally than
ever before. All railroads reaching
the Northwest make similar reports
on this subject. Although many
persons bought tickets for Puget
Sound, it is said that Eastern Wash
ington received the larger quota of
settlers. Oregon has been excep-
tionally favored by the newcomers.
The prospects fora steady westward
movement during the summer
months, were never better. The
Great Northern reports bring many
settlers from Ohio and Pennsylvania
where its exhibit cars have been
busy for some time.

The supreme court has slightly
modified the decree of the lower
court in the case of K. W. Stafford
against the White Bluffs Land &
Irrigation company appellants and
holds that Stafford is entitled to
certain damages but the court re-
fuses to lay down the rule that a
property holder is entitled to a
continuous flow when purchasing
water for irrigation purposes. The
court says that while there may be
land for all in arid regions there is
not water for all and that it would
not be proper to hold with COM
pany or a holder of a contract when
they seek to enforce an arbitrary
provision, or to lay down any set
rule when conditions may justify
their change.

CHEAPER COAL

If Judge C. H. Hanford Of the
Federal Court in Seattle, has con-
strued the Alaska coal land laws
correctly in pending litigation, it
will not be long before the Northern
fuel ti-lds can he worked. Finding
for the defendants in a case where
in the Government was plaintiff,
the trial court held that Alaska coal
entries must be considered solely by
the special law applying to Alaska.
The court holds that the entrymen
now on trial proceeded strictly ac-
cording to this law, hence they are
not guilty of fraud as charged. The
Government has taken an appeal
from this construction to the Su-
preme Court. If that tribunal sus-
tains Judge Hanford, it will not be
long before the whole Alaska
muddle, which has been the basis
of much apprehension and misrep-
resentation, will be settled and the
Northwest will have an abundant
supply Of the finest fuel nthe world

The failure of the legislature to
mention the Fidalgo quarry in the
list of quarries for which appropria-
tons were ma1o will not necessitate
the closing of the rock crushing
plant at that place, according to a
ruling of Attorney General Tanner,
as he holds that portion of the
rotary fund may be used for the
operation and maintenance of the
plant. He says that in his opinion
the legislature did not intend to
abandon the Fidalgo quarry but
that the appropriation was limited
to the Selah, Dixie and Marshall
quarries because that quarry had
been completed and the crushing
plant installed and no necessity ex-
listed for a further appropriation
either from the public highway fluid
or the general fund, but that it was
not intended to limit the expend-
iture from the Quarries Rotary Fund

BUSINESS INSURANCE

Some events of first-class i'm
portance, falling in that category
that Wall Street describes as dis
turbing," happened in rather quick
succession this spring. First, the
Interstate Commerce Commission
in sweeping decision denied the
petition of the railroads to raise
freight rates. Then the President
called an ezra session Of Congress,
whose chief business would obviously
be tariff revision, with the House
in control of the Democrats and the
genuine tariff reforming Insurgents
holding the balance of power in the
Senate. Next, without warning,
the greatest movement of troops ever
undertaken in time of peace was
ordered, the objective being the
Mexican border, next door to in
surrection. The Supreme Court
then upheld the corporation tax,
putting the corporate incomes at the
mercy of the Government. Any
one of these things, in other times
might indeed have precipitated dis
agreeable business disturbances.
Moreover, there was every reason to
expect that the momentous trust

ton of which had sent shivers up

To carry out the law enacted by
the 1909 legislature and amended
by the 1911 session. calling for the
inspection of state, county, munich
pal, school and township offices,
state auditor G.. w. Clausen esti-
mates that it will take a force OF
sixty men at work the year around.
During the past two years the state
bureau Of inspection under the d.
rection of Auditor Clausen has
checked twenty counties, six are
now being checked and twelve re-
main untouched. This was done
with force of but ten men. In
addition to this the school districts
in each of tina counties have been
examined. The examiners are now
working in the counties of King,
Pierce, Stephens. Walla Walla,
Cowlitz and Snohomish. The 12
counties that have not been checked
are Asotin, Benton, Clarke, Column
bia, Garfield, Klickitat, Skamania,
Spokane, Wahkiakum, Whatcom,
Whitman and Yakima counties.
There are some reports on counties
chez ked that have not been filed.
The examiners are now at work in
Olympia and North Yakima and
there are $50 first, second, third
and fourth class cities to be checked
over. More men will be put in the
field as soon as possible and all the
cities will be checked each year.
The expenses of examination are to
be paid by each taxing district.
Enough money was not provided by
the legislature to permit of a thoro
checking of the state Offices, SO
probably only two men will be used
on this work.

WOULD ABOLISH LEGISLATURE

Declaring that he considered the
present system Of legislation the
most bunglesome and least effective
of all departments of state govern
ment, Marion f. Hay. governor OF
the state of Washington, in an
address before the political club Of
Whitman college at Waila Walla,
Wash, recently. stated he would
favor, in place Of the legislature. a
commission of % men who would
meet biennially and devote their
time to the framing of laws, being
paid salaries of 50, 500 a term and
remaining in session until the work
is finished, adding;
1t takes month for members
of the legislature to get acquainted
with each other and most little bills
are passed with little consideration.
1t seems to me that the legislature
goes at its work like a lot of school
boys playing football. For the first
Ave or six weeks hundreds of bills
are brought in and, as it were, piled
on the floor and then the last week
there is a rush after the pile and
each man grabs one, seemingly in
tent only on getting it through
and getting his name Oh it. Many
important measures have been lost
in the scramble of the last few days
and much time wasted"
