Wntson, Coos County Judge, Such is tho report that ar rived horo Into yostorday afternoon from Salem, thus bringing to n close a controversy that hna waged lu tilts county bIiico tho November election. After several montlm' waiting for tho Supremo Court to mako Its do. cIbIoii and waiting in vain, Judge Hall decided tho only course loft open for him, wns that of resigning. A year ngo hist October ho publicly announced ho would not bo a cnu dldato for re-election. At tho election of 1010 tho voters of tho counties of tho statu elected tholr County Judges.

This contention took tho quostlon Into tho Stato Supremo Court whoro It has remained ovor slnco, holding op practically all county business slnco January 1, At tho presont tlmo n bill pond ing In tho Legislature would dls ponso with nil County Judgos, allow ing for tholr work to bo dono In tho Circuit Courts.

Thoy would sorvo tho re mainder of tholr terms as clinirmon of tho County Commissioners, sorv Ing at tho regular Commissioners' pny. In Coos County tho Judgo gots an annunl salary of $1000; tho Conn. ty Commissioners get $5 a day when In session, about flvo days of each month, Should this bill pass tho prohahlo otfect would bo tho reduction of tho local Circuit Court district to Cooa and Curry Counties, though the $4,- 000 salary of tho Circuit Judgo horo would not bo nffoctod, Inci'iMiMi Circuit Court Duties. However, as Judgo Hall points out, such a movo would work hard ships on so m q Circuit Judges. For Instance, it would not bo taken Into consideration tho fact that Coos County ranks fourth among tho counties of tho stato as to tho amount of Circuit Court busless. With this condition obtaining, Judgo Coko would find hlmsolt swamped with both Circuit and County Court business. During tho pnst year Judgo Coko has hold sessions of court In Mult nomah, Lano, Curry nnd Lako coun ties. A sosslon of tho County Court is bolng held In Coqulllo .today. Judgo James B.

U the pending legislature bill to abolish County Judges passes, Judgo Watson will find hluisolf lu tho pre dicament of having practically no offlco, after having relinquished his offlco as County Clork that ho might run for tho County Judgeship.
