New Judicial District.
It has been a recognized fact for 1».
long time that our distriot judges are
overworked—r especially in the lllll'tl
district where there is so much l\“'_“ill
business. Important rightsol‘ indi

on hand. and Sllll. Judge Jones with

We hope the more active policy will

public is aroused. It- wants the rail~‘
road company to “ fish or cut bait,”

oficials have a public duty before
them. That duty is not so much in
the line of making out deeds and
bonds whenever a customer for a few
hundred dollars’ worth of land comes
along, as in the line of pushing the
road without delay. We understand
that an agent is in the field today,
anxious to put money into the
railroad enterprise and that that
money will be forthcoming in

I Buy Times Ahead.
It is very gratifying to note the
good work that, is being done on the
atreets, on the hill. It is safe to say
that no better advertising could pos
sibly have been done. The retiring
city government deserves great. cre—
dit tlwrfore, and their weed of praise
shall be freely given.
The new city officials will take the
reigns of government in a very nus
picions time. but at a very critical
time as well. Sidewalks must be
built this {all all over the hill. The
people who are progressive and wise
will not complain to have good sub
stantial walks built around their
property. This improvement must
be ordered immediately and we are
oflhe opinion that the assessment
can be safely levied against the prop
erty adjacent. Let this be done on
ewry important street on the hill.
Put White men at the job, at good
wages. If need be, advertise largely
for men. Give them employment
when they come and encourage them
to investin homes here. This will
make times liVely and everybody
will reap the benefit of the invest
ment. \Ve expect to see a hundred
Jim-n at work on our streets. allot
ithis full and winter. Push the city
{and millions are in store for us.

Glory Enough!
I BUREAU FUR THE (‘UHTUM HOUSE:
The following will be of interest
’to our citizens:
“fishington. July BlL—The house
went into committee on the whole on
the deficiency appropriation bill.
.On motion of Voorhees the Wash
ington territory amendment was ad
opted appropriating $120,000 for the
leompletion of the public buildmg at
Port Townsend.
I Delegate Your hues is entitled to
[all the credit he may desire to claim
lin regard to thi“ matter. We simply
duif our hat and extend Port Town
lsend‘s profound Congratulations.
i We do not remember ever to have
seen a more beautiful natural town~
isite than is our own, nor do we know
of one more sadly m‘trred by planing.
There are so many angles and diver~
‘gences and differences of plotting ‘
‘that the future will see but a com
fused wilderness of difi'urenCes where a
there ehould have been order and «
symmetry and beauty. This ought l
to be remedied now as fully as pos- '
sible. ‘

ter some of thus-o fo-llu‘Ns, um] with so
many strangers In the city it is naturs
al that some of them should walk out
in thut direction. There are now
about eight hundred children in the
city and with the ordinary love for

it is truly a wonder if some of them
are not killed in the pasture if it con~
tinues to be used as now.
California has been booming dur
ing the last year wonderfully.
Many of her towns made mnrvelous
advances. But it was mainly done
on climate. Puget Sound not only
has the mild, equable climate neces
sary for an earthly paradise, and is
blessed with natural resources which
California uevvr bud. When cnpi~
tnlists come to realize the facts as to
our coal, irun, limestone, marble.
pottery cluy, timber, building stone.
etc.. to say unthing of agricultural
advantages, they see at once the
force of our claims; We have some~
thing: more substantial than climate
on which to base a boom—4lnd hence
our prosperity is more substantial
and lasting. We can press the mat
ter more urgently and with better
success. In fact, it. does not need
pressing. People can see for then»
selves.
All this uncertainty and delay
about our public building is speedi
ly coming to an end—thanks to on~
ergetic effort on the part of Dale—
gate Voorhees and the Organ BBDR~
tors. Congress is finding time
enough from political dscnssions to
inquire into the importance and
growing demands of the Puget Sound
Customs Collection District—sud is
beginning to realize that we have
urgent necessity at Port Townsvnd
for tho speedy Completion of that
public building. and on a scale com»
where near on «par with present
gand prospective necessities. Uur
Icustoms ofiicinls are cramped for;
room, and have tons of valuable rec~
ords exposed to danger from fire in}
a wooden builping. The public
building, according to plans at first
adopted, is found to be entirely in~
adequate, so that new plans will be
a necessity. The work done thus
far will not be lost, however, as the
foundation projected fortha main
building will answer for a. Wing.
As to the reduction of the Tariff
and its results, we would be glad to
have the advocates of the measure
study the problem of the restriction
of Chinese laborer; on the Pacific
coast. Five years 1130 n Chinaman
could be hired at 75cts. per day, and
i a white laborer at from $1.25 to $1.50
‘1) -r day. New in Port Town-«ml
Uhinamen demand $2.00 and white
laborers receive $2.50 per day. This
result is exceedingly favorable to the
white laborer. We have newer be- 3
fore known a time in the history of l
the world when a common day labor— i
or coulj command such wages where ‘
prices of living were so low. This is i
now emphatically the poor—man's l
country. Laboring men can get for ‘
themselves a lit-m 6 in less time and .
with less outlay of muscle than in 4
any country under the sun. Now

IDEL‘IDED AGAINST THE son-mans PACIFIC
RAILROAD.
Washington, Aug. 2.—-The secre—
tary of the interior today rendered a
decision in the somewhat celebrated
case of the Northern Pacific Railroad
company against Guilt'ord Miller.
The secretary holds, briefly, that
when the map of the main line was
,filed and accepted .n 1870. the gem
eral route was tired and statutt ry
withdrawal under section 6 of the
granting act became operative.
Statutory withdrawal having at once
been put in operation could not again
do exercised. its authority being ex
hausted. The central route being
lonce fixed could not amend or
change; except by legislative author
ity. As no such authority was given
the attempt to change the general
route by the map of 1872 was with
out authority of law. As Miller’s
land was not within the limit of the
statutory Withdrawal under the laws
of 21570 it remained public land sub
ject to settlement, notwithstanding
the tiling of the map of 1872. and the
attempted withdrawal of land by the
commissioner of the general land oh
fice. The Secretary holds that sec
tion 6 of thogranting act to the com
pany absolutely prohibits the with—
drawal by the executive of lands on
the line of the road from the opera—
.tion of the homestead and pre~emp ~
tion laws’ and in attempting to make
the withdrawal of lands for indem
nity purposes the commissioner did
that which is prohibited. The rail
road company selected Miller‘s land
as indemnity for lands lost in the
Yakima Indian reservation. but the
secretary says. inasmuch as the su
preme court said in the Butts case
that free title to lands within the In
dian reservatioh passed by grant to
the commissioners to subject of the
right of occupancy by the Indiana,
the company is not. entitled to in
demnity tor lands within said rosar
vation’ and which have passed to it
by its grant.
The efl'ect of this decision is for
reaching and will afl'ect 800 cases now
pondin in the central land ofice, and
probabfy the claims of many settlers
which have not been reached. The ‘
denial of the right of the Company to
indemnity for lands within the Yak
ima Indian reservation is said to be i
equally applicable to other Indian
reservations along the line of the
road, and will have‘the efi‘ect of re
ducing the indemnity claims of the
Company very large. probably to the
extent of a million and a h f acres.
About 200 cases now in the central
land ofiice will be afl'ected by this dis
cussion. ,7
