hut was not satisfied with the amount.
Some Of the heirs were not satisfied that
any allowance was made. The bequest
was for $4,000. and the home people held

Question Of Primary boards.
The attorney general has been asked
to decide two questions, one OF which
interests Douglas county, as well as every
other in the state. Robert Smith. clerk
Of the district court, wanted to know
whether under the primary law 1t was
necessary TO appoint new judges and
clerks for the primary election. Appoint
ments were made last August. and the
law says they are to serve for one year.
The attorney general holds that in this
instance the word year means a time
commencing with the first occasion for
such officers in the calendar year and
therefore new judges and clerks must be
named for the April primary and these
will serve in such capacity for the re-
malnder of the year.
Accretion of Lands.
The county attorney Of Thurston county
wants to know what to do in the matter
of several hundred acres of accreted lands
along the Missouri river in the eastern
part Of that county. The land Is claimed
by the owners OF abutting realty, which |
in many cases means Indians not taxed. |
The attorney general holds that the land, |
II It is accretion. belongs TO the owners
Of abuttng property. and II the land to
which II attaches is taxable the accre- |
tons should also be listed for taxation. |
Vie recommends that survey be made
to ascertain the exact amount OF such |
accretion. in order that an assessment
can be made. ...-.
