II now reads; Judge Wallace N.
Scales Of the tenth judicial district"
and the judges host of friends In
Grsngeville have, since Wednesday
forenoon been showerfng him with
CONCENTRATIONS and good wishes. Tel
eorams were received by Mr. Scales
and others here in the forenoon Of
tbe 21st, announcing his appointment
Il the tenth judicial judgeship and
the one directed to the judge instruct
I'd him to proceed "at once to Lewis
ton" and take charge of the district
court session at that place. Judge
Steele has been opening court regu-
larry at Lewiston since the signing of
the bill by the governor creating the
new tenth judicial district, but has
been hearing no cases, procedure
which Judge Steele considered ethical
and technically correct, and the judge
Is all there when 1t comes to main
tanning the dignity and poise of the
court and observing regular procedure.
Judge Scales may have been a little
furried over the sudden and newly
acquired judicial responsibilities, but
Il So he was successful In suppress
ING all surface Indications, and arose
to the occasion with that courtly
southern manner characteristic of his
race and accepted the new honors with
a judicial bearing most befitting to
the ofice and becoming to himself as
well as pleasing to his friends. The
new judge arranged his business to
leave for Lewiston ON Thursday morn
ing to take up the judicial work, but
the snow blockade prevented. The
friends arranged to give the judge a
reception Wednesday night and the
band had pr0ffered its services, but
through a c0nfiction of dates and en-
gagements, it had to be foregone,
which was a great disappointment to
both principals in the case.
