 Tn behalf of the state board of ed ucation, ! thank you for the work done and. too. Judge L. H. Fuller, and 5he townspeople as q whole in providing such a building and for such a pur- pose"

 Meeting.
 An appeal to tine supreme court was filed Saturday by Charles L. Torrey, attorney for the defendant, in the case of the Washington Cedar and Fir Products company, Seattle, Wash, vs. Joseph H. Elliott. This case was tried in the superior court here in Septe1n- Der before Judge Joel H. Reed and a jury, the jury returning a verdict for the plaintiff company to recover s49S. S.35.
 The suit was instituted following the disappearance of an agent, E. M. PhiI- lips, of the Washington Cedar and Fir Products company, to whom Mir Elliott had paid a oiiil which he owed the company, the bill being paid to the agent on the receipt Of a telegram which read: Make new check or draft and deliver Phillips today. Elliott paid the amount.
 The appeal filed Saturday sets forth that the judge erred in charging she jury relative to the telegram, which, 1t is claimed, was of an ambiguous nature as to its wording, construction and interpretation.
 The appeal also sets out that in failing to instruct tine jury that if there was such an ambiguity concern ing the wording of the telegram and of such an ambiguous natu& as any reasonable man might place upon it, then the defendant, MT. Elliott, should be considered as having followed the instructions of the plaintiff company in adopting the course that he did. -
