BUDGET OF STATE NEWS

Two decisions Of first class impor
tance to all interests OF the state were
del vered by the supreme court within
the past week. In one the high court
interprets the prohibition law to mean
that all liquor that may have been le-
gally purchased in excess of the half
gallon Of ardent spirits and of II quarts
of beer which the law allows to be
purchased every twenty days on per-
nit by the county auditor, may be
kept in possession when intended
solely for private consumption and not
for sale or barter
The cases on which decision are
based came up from King county,
where the sheriff raided the living
apartment Of John c. Eden at the
Rainier club in Seattle, and the home
OF w. E. Boeing in the same city.
The raids occurred on January II,
week after expiration of 10 days
time allowed after the first of the year
for shipping all excess stocks of liquor
out OF the state. Amounts of liquor
considerably in excess of the half gal
lon and II quarts were seized in each
place. Judge Ronald of King county
sustained the seizures, holding, how
ever that the liquor should be shipped
out OF the state rather than destroyed.
Eight supreme court justices, in
cluding Chief Justice Morris, coincided
in the view under which the sheriff Of
King county is ordered to restore the
seized liquors to Eden and Boeing.
Justice Fullerton, in dissenting, sustains
the prohibition law in every particular
as clear and plain act iorbidding the
kEGDlUS Vi dl CANCoo dlLIOhhh W
for any purpose. He also holds that
the majority decision will make it i'm
possible to invoke the federal Webb
Kenyon act under which railroads are
forbidden to carry liquors into pro-
hibition state, the reasoning being that
if the supreme court holds an excess
amount may be legally kept in posses
sion in this state, refusal to permit the
shipment OF more than a half gallon or
II quarts will become an interference
with interstate commerce.
The other decision relates TO pro-
posed initiative amendments to the
state industrial insurance act and the
state fish code. Both Of which were
refused place on the ballot.

SNOW INTFRFERES IN
SURVEY OF ICICLE ROAD
Ten to Twenty feet Deep in Jack Greek
ValIey-Mining Expert to MineslhiS
Week-0thers Coming.

Mr. Van Epps, accompanied by Mr..
w. J. Elmendorf a mining engineer
with Offices in the L. c. Smith build
ing, Seattle, left for the head of Jack
creek Wednesday where the mining
property is located. Mr.. Van Epps
said the extraordinary snow Of the past
winter is seriously hampering their
operations. Not only the survey for
the proposed railroad but some work to
be done in the mines. While in Seat
tie he was advised by some Of his en-
ployes that the snow had not ye dis
appeared from Jack creek valley and
on the hills, so that it is impossible to
carry on the work on the mining prop
city or do any surveying until the snow
disappears. It will be recalled that
here in Leavenworth the snow fall
amounted to almost "a feet the past
winter, and up in the region OF Jack
creek the fall could not have been less
than a hundred feet and possibly twice
that much. No one knows exactly,
only they do know that nothing like it
ever occurred before in hundred
years, according to the records OF the
Hudson Bay COMPANY. Mr.. 5. o..
Stewart, sheep man who grazes fockS
in the forest range in this region says
that an unusual amount Of snow still
covered the high mountains and hills
and is seriously interfering with the use
of range heretofore found bare of snow
by the middle and often by the first OF
June.
Mr.. Van Epps says he has contract
with the company Of which Mr.. Nelson
is the head, to build the road to the
mines but he cannot overcome natural
obstacles and will have TO wait until
the snow disappears sufficiently to go
to work. Surveying the route and
making map is one Of the preliminary
steps to the granting Of the right of
way by the forestry department. He
says he has every confidence in Mr..
Nelson carrying out his part OF the
agreement.
Mr.. Van Epps expects a number Of
parties from the east who are interested
in the mining property to arrive here
next week and go up to the property.
A lot of provisions, including four cases
of eggs were sent out to the camp the
last OF this week.

Young Man Has Arm Broken

On Monday last Deryl Motteler,
while driving his fathers delivery
wagon in the vicinity Of the creamery
was thrown from the wagon and had
his arm broken. The wagon hit a
large rock and the rebound of the
springs threw him over the side of the
wagon on hard ground and his arm
was broken at the elbow. DR.. Judah
reduced the fracture which he says
was quite severe but hopes for his
early and complete recovery.

$1,OOO,OOO U.S.. CASH
FOR STATE HIGHWAYS
The Bill ApprOpriating Money For Good
Roads Has Been Agreed on in the
Senate and House.

By the terms Of the new good roads
bill as finally agreed upon by the House
and Senate, approximately $1,000,000
will be available for building good roads
in the State OF Washington during the
coming five years. If the amount ap-
propriated for 1920 be continued each
year for the five years following, and I
think the amount is more likely to be
increased than decreased, more than
$3,500,000 will be available for road
building in our state during the next
ten years.
The only condition attached to the
use Of this money is that the state
shall appropriate an amount equal to
the amount appropriated from the fed
eral treasury each year, and then arrange
for the state highway department to
agree with the Secretary OF Agriculture
as to the particular roads upon which
the money shall be expended. The
bill which has finally been agreed upon
is much more liberal in its terms and
the amounts appropriated, than the
bill which originally passed the House.
1t appropriates SIS, 10000 for 1916,
$40, 100000 for 1917, $4,000, 900
for 1918, $20,000,000 for 1919 and
$25, 100000 for 1920. These appro-
priations are TO be apportioned equally
to each state according to area, popu-
lation, miles of rural delivery mail
routes and miles of star mail routes.
According to this method of apportion-
ment, Washington will receive $73,-
$50 in 1916, $146,500 in 1917,
$219,750 in 1918, $2o3,o0 in 1919
and 1866, $50 in 1920.
A new section was added to the bill
for which l worked earnestly while it
was in conference, appropriating ST.
100000 annually for ten years to assist
in building roads within or partly within
forest reservations. Whenever any
state or county having a forest reser-
vation within its borders requests the
Secretary OF Agriculture to cooperate
in the survey and construction OF roads
on the forest reservation and is ready
to expend an amount equal to the
amount appropriated by Congress, the
Secretary Of Agriculture is empowered
to proceed to cooperate in the building
OF such roads.
The forest reserves OF the country
contain 1876, 100000 acres and more
than l. 100000 acres Of the State OF
Washington are contained within those
reserves. Thus our state can secure
approximately one-twelfth of the ST.
100000 appropriated for building roads
on forest reservations each year.
think that this good roads legis-
lation will prove both popular and val
liable during the coming few wears
and that whatever defects the new law
contains will be remedied when they
are discovered.

HOE STEPHENS SALE
TOTALLED UP LARGE

HOl Stephens sale held last Friday
at his Beetown farm drew an enor-
nous crowd and good prices. M F.
WOOdhOuse acted as clerk and Robert
Hoskins as auctioneer, and here is
here how some of the items sold:
Two-year-old steers brought $40 a.
head. Yearlings sold from $4S to $50
apiece. A car load of heifers and
cows brought $63.5O each. Hogs aver
aged at cents and young sows
brought $18 apiece. Corn sold for 81
cents, oats for 81 cents, and hay went
for $11. The turkeys sold for $3.50
apiece, and chickens ran between 45c
and soc. A team of colts coming two
years, sold for $143.50 and $40, re-
spectively. The yearling colts went
for $75 and 500, and a chunk of
driver sold for $3.50. A four-year-oIG
bay horse brought 1929.
Mr.. Stephens advertised the sale
splendidly using the county papers to
good advantage. This, with high-class
help and good weather brought his re-
ceipts well up to a most satisfactory
figure.

cratic, and Kansas with 10 votes, was
in doubt. Montana showed Wilson
heavily in the lead in Butte Mary
land was democratic with votes.
Kentucky showed incomplete returns
with Wilson in the lead. Conceding
Missouri to Wilson with Is votes,
Kentucky Is votes, Colorado votes,
Utah votes, Maryland votes, Mon
tana votes, Nevada votes, and CIV
ing Wilson Ohio as yet in doubt, his
vote with the solid south would be
but 217-49 votes short of election.
At midnight the New York Herald
said that Ohio was still in doubt Will
son carried greater New York by at
least 10000 but the state vote for
Hughes far overbalanced this accord
ing to the returns.
The International News Service in
an early bulletin gave Hughes 81 cleo
tOral votes and Wilson 221. At 9 "A
p. m. The New York Times said that
Wilson had not carried a single north
ern state except Colorado, Maryland
and Kentucky The Times, which sup
ported Wilson, at this time conceded
Hughes election. New York upstate,
according to the Times gave Hughes
387 900 from 2246 precincts out of 3,
$50 and Wilson 100000. The race in
North Dakota at that time was close.
Chicago a normally democratic city,
was almost neck and neck, but re-
turns from 600 out of 24O0 precincts in
Cook county gave Hughes a lead of
$1,000 Five hundred precincts out of
1911 in Philadelphia gave Wilson a.
900 and Hughes 68,535.
The results in Wisconsin were start
ling. Walworth county, the first to
give complete returns, showed an in
crease in the total vote over 1912 of
937. This county gave Wilson a plu-
rality of 20 four years ago. Yester-
day it gave Hughes a majority of 159.
Iowa is undoubtedly close owing to
the hot gubernatoral fight on in that
state. Polk county and Des Moines
leaned toward Wilson, according to
reports and in Boone county Wilson
had 1917 and Hughes 1868. Two
hundred and ninety precincts out of
2474 in Kansas gave Wilson 1858 and
Hughes 1,165. Hughes lead in Idaho
at midnight but the returns were frag-
mentary. 154 precincts out of 1850
in Michigan gave Wilson 2O,454 and
Hughes 24,266.
The upshot of the above is that
Hughes election is a moral certainty.

DUTCH HOLLOW MEN RECEIVES
INJURIES AT HANDS OF MEXI-
CAN SECTION HAND.

Three copper colored sons of Mex
leo are locked up in the county Jail
pending the filing of charges against
two of them for having used knife
in excess of three inches, assaulting
Lawrence Miller of Tennyson, near Po-
tOsi. The information charges that the
act was committed willfully, felonious-
ly, and of malice aforethought to kill
and murder.
Their names are Refugio Barba,
Pedro Gutierres and Robert Flores.
They are q, 28 and 20 years each and
up to Saturday they were employed by
the Burlington road as section hands
near Potosi under the direction of Sam
Buhacker.
The details of the alleged assault
are not known, but it is said to have
occurred on the depot road near the
brewery late Saturday night. Accord
ing to one informant, John Gerhart,
engineer at the brewery, heard the al
tercatiOn and ran out in time to save
Miller from being further cut up.
AS it was he received one cut in the
abdomen and another somewhere on
the body. Miller is about "a years Of
age, and lives with his parents. Yes
terday the report was that he seemed
not seriously injured.
The three Mexicans were arrested
Sunday and brought to Lancaster
They are small, stunted looking men
and talk very little English. One Of
them, Refugio Barba, seems the more
intelligent and claims he has been
here ten years. The other two have
been here about two years. 1t is said
that Barba was arrested in by mis-
take, as he had no connection with the
affair.

COUNTY TRUNK LINE
SYSTEM IS DISCUSSED
COMMITTEE CONSIDERS HIGHWAY
SCAEME AND WILL TAKE MAT
FER UP WITH co. BOARD,

At the regular meeting Of the county
state road and bridge committee held
at the court house last Friday and
Saturday the trunk line system Of
state roads for Grant county, received
serious consideration The method
in brief, involves a system Of highways
extending throughout the county and
embraces every town and village. The
trunk lines, if inaugurated would en-
brace every market town with the idea
OF furnishing good roads to and
from every point of common trading
Or shipping to market.
The main difference in the propos-
ed method and the present one lies in
the manner of projecting new work
Under the trunk line system the coun-
ty plans the road work in a compre-
hensive manner so that certain defin-
tie highways are constructed without
large gaps Of notably poor and un-
finished road between good pieces as
at present under the township method.
Road building is taken up with the
idea Of getting somewhere over the
county as whole
The manner of cost and who is to
pay is handled entirely different than
at present. Under the proposed
scheme the state contributes larger
amount than at present-40 per cent to
be, exact, as against one-third now.
The county pays the difference
amounting to 60 per cent, but this sum
is raised by general taxation unless
the county committee can see that a
certain town is especially benefited
by the road and then the committee
can levy special assessment which
will OF course reduce the amount to
be raised from other sources.
The trunk line system, if adopted
will probably furnish three stretches
Of good highway east and west
through the county and the same num-
Der north and south The idea of
furnishing good roads to local mar
kets is excellent and another strong
point rs the advantage of having con-
Meeting links between the towns ex-
tending so that no difficulty is ex-
perienced in going from one end of
the county to another In these days
of heavy travel the last is almost a
necessity.
While the committee discussed var
ious trunk lines as a tentative matter
no action will be taken until the
county board passes upon it.

REAR END COLLISION.

Miss Hazel Clanton had the misfor-
tune Friday in making turn at the
city hall corner to run her fathers
Oakland four west to where it collideJ
with the rear end of the Reuben Osch
man Ford which was standing at the
corner with Mr.. Oschman inside ready
to start.
The Clanton car suffered a bent
bumper and fender. The Ford came
out with bent fender and rear axle
and bursted tire.
