Spokane' has arranged for
raising $1000 for the purpose of
advertising the city at the Port
land exposition and inducing
visitors to atop in that place.
That is the only way in which
it can secure the full benefits it
i should derive from the exposi
tion. No city can afford to
stand buck when (here is an op
portunity to advance its inter
ests 111 that manner. AH need
immigration; all need capital,
and the way to secure both is
to do something to attract the
attention of home-seekers, and
investors.

Now it is asserted Chief En

on the subject of tide locks. He
is admitted to be a great engi

The San Fraucisco Bulletin
says Hint its sales increased by
20,000 during the publication
of all the horrible details ot the
Vilardo murder. .After au at
tempt to explain the cause of
the unusual demand, the Bulle
tin concludes.
Reason seems to have as little
to do in determining the popu
lar discrimmaton of news as it
does in most of the important
aftairs of life, such a? marriage,
the election of pablh. officers,
the adherence to political parties
nnd the choice of 11 religion.
Reasonably the inwsi f an im
portant discovery in biology
ought to sell more papers than
the discovery of the mutilates
corpse of an unimportant person
but it doesn't.
The county co ut has uncov
ered "a mare's ueal" . nt the
court house in the shape of de
linquenciea amounting to thou
sands of dollars on , the judg
ment docket of the circuit court
These delinquencies are . in the
shape ol , fines . aud costs that
have never been collected. In
ual lost in litigation, he has
been allowed to go witboutfoot-
:K.fci1h but where the
people lost, there is no record of
the individual having failed to
call for his costs. The county
court is . now considering the
matter ot placing all these ac
counts in tbe hands of an at
torney for collection. Just who
is to blame for the accumulation
of the delinquencies, we are not
advised, but that the public
purse should, be defrauded of
the sums due seems unjust, a
elance at the docket will con
vince anyone that the county is
eettine by far the worst of it,
many such claims having al
ready, been out-lawed. The
court will attempt to collect
these accounts, at which time
the true inwardness of many
eases may develop. Litigants
who have paid court costs
might do well to look up their
receipts. They will be called
for in all probability. Repub-
