COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
IN CHARGE OF FERRIES

A recent decision of the supreme
court of this state is of interest
to the people of Stevens county in
that it bears directly upon the man
agement of the county's ferries Up
to 1920, the county exercised ex-
within its boundaries, but at the be-
ginning of 1920. the state public
service commission assumed juris-
diction, establishing rates and direct
ing what service should be given.
That these powers belong exclusively
to the county commissioners and not
the public service commission is
shown conclusively by the appended
letter:
County commissioners, Stevens
county, Colville, Wash. Gentlemen
The supreme court of our state in
the case of state ex rel Allen VS.. the
public service commission decided on
June %, has held that the public
service commission of Washington
has no jurisdiction over the rates or
service of ferries operating in the
state of Washington. This is one
case which was pending at the time
we heard your case.
"The decision further states that
the matter of rates and service are
vested in the county commissioners
Of the respective counties and you
are advised that any further nego-
tiations concerning ferries should be
brought to the attention of the coun-
ty commissioners and not to this
commission, as under the decision we
will haye no further voice in those
matters.-Your truly, The Public Ser
vice Commission of Washington, by
}. H Brown, secretary"

and nearer points, testified to the af-'
lection in which the little girl was
held. She leaves beside her parents,
a little brother, Kenneth, 21a years
old. Mrs. Harlan was Miss Ruth
Ledgerwood before her marriage.

With the elimination of Carranza

With the elimination of Carranza the Mexican government appears eager to win the friendship of the United States, and the introduction of much needed American capital into the strife ridden country. There is way, if the Mexicans care to pursue it. Make American life and American investments as safe south of the Rio Grande as they are north of it, and recompense Americans for the losses they have sustained in the past. When this is done America will believe in the sincerely of Mexico, but until then, all pro- testations of friendship must be taken with a liberal application of salt.
