Of I.OCAI. ISTKRKST The Supreme
Court ol the United State ha decided
tlmt "concurrent jurUdictiou" of the
Columbia River means that both Wash
ington. and Oregon caueuforce their tlsli
taws auywhere on the river provided the
law are identical, but neither State can
punish for an act not in violation of the
laws of the other State, unless the act is
committed where the prosecutor has ex
clusive jurisdiction. For instance, the law
providing there hll be no salmon fish
ing within a mile of the mouth of Lewis
River ia void unlets Washington passes
an identical law.

RAINIER
Rainier is on the eve of a city election.
A number of amendment will come be
fore the votar; for the improvement of
the street. The big taxpayers and the
business men in general are in favor of
tiie.e improvements, and there is no
doubt that tlev will carry, and the com
ing priti will tee Rainier one of the
busiest cities in the Slate. A complete
sewer system will be put in tlii spring.
Water, Commercial and Union streets,
the three principal gireets of the city,
will be graded and macadamized, new
sidewalks put in, and Rainier will as
sume its place among the leading cities
of the State. Rainier has no indebted
ness of any kind except for the new
water system, and that is already pay
ing its own way. In another year the
witter system will be a big moneymaker
and when Uw above mentioned improve
ments are in property that is now being
sold for 11,000 will be worth 1500.
Judge Blanchard, who went to San
Francisco ten days ago, returned home
Tuesday eveuing looking hale and hearty.
He say the city looks good to him. Mr.
Blanchard will begin the erection of a
building on a small tract of water front
which he retained when he sold his in
terests here. This building wilt ouly be
used for storage purposes, as he sajs he
will not go into business aguiu. Mr.
Blanchard will divide his time between
Rainier and Portland in future, and take
a well eained rest from business activity.
Ills time in future will be devoted to
his real estate holdings iu thi State,
California and Washington, aud as this
will practically take care of itself it will
simply be au outing for him to look after
it. Judge Blauchard came to this city
many years be Tore most of us were born
and knows not only every foot of the
Columbia river country but most ot the
State as well, and when he becomes rem
iniscent his remarkable memory con
jure up many instructive and amusing
incidents in which he played a part. At
tome future time we will give some inci
dents that will be of interest to the
public.

The fifth judicial district is to have two
judges hereafter, and it is said the new
appointee will come from Columbia or
Clatsop county. A. Columbia connty
pays by far ;the greater portion of the
State taxes it is manifestly ,just that the
new judge be appointed from this county;
but if the appointing power insists on
giving us a Clatsop judge, what's the
matter with John Smith? He is a Dem
ocrat, but that should cut no ice in the
appointment of a judge.- He it able and
honest and would consider nothing but
justice and the law in rendering his
decision..
