Employment of the idle and destitute to serve as Jurors in the petty courts, is proposed by T. H. Edwards, secre tary of the Edwards Company, furni ture dealers, as a solution of the ques tion of the unemployed on one hand, and as a relief for busy business men on the other. Mr. Edwards writes a letter to the Justices in which the suggestion Is made, following his sum moning to serve on a Jury a few days ago, when there was some difficulty In getting him to appear. The writer says that he has been summoned five times in 15"days. "There are lots of good men out of jobs who would be glad to make a dollar in this way. Why not help them out in stead of taking men away from their business to try trivial cases? It seems to me that the value of the time of the men on your juries is. In most cases, more than the sum Involved in the trial." The suggestion was not taken in good part by Justice Olson, for whom the letter was intended, and who is a stickler for the enforcement of this obligation of citizenship. North Bank Connection Made.

Srxth at Morrison. Walla Walla Penitentiary Head Is Accompanied by Wife, Who, on Journey, Draws $ 100 Salary. OLTMPIA, Wash., Jan. 16. (Special.) Refusal of State Auditor Clausen to pay the expense bills of Charles S. Reed, superintendent of the State Peni tentiary at Walla Walla, on his trip around the world is likely to cause row that will go before the next ses slon of the State Legislature. Under instructions of the state board of control and Governor Hay, Reed went to India last May to investigate crop conditions and to purchase jute for the state. He carried with him i letter of credit for $100,000,- but on ar rival In India found that it was i wrong season of the year, and that prices were hicher than anticipated, so he only purchased 40 bales of jute to be used In experimenting. The latter part or November Keea filed with the board or control his ex pr.nse account for the trip in bills total ins approximately $2000. These were approved by the board, and sent on to the state auditor. After examining the items Auditor Clausen refused to issue the warrant, with the exception of the item for transportation. $596.35. which was the only one accompanied by voucher. The others were lump sum charges, and the refusal of the audi tor to pay these charges was on the ground that the law requires vouchers for all expense payments. Another feature of the Reed trip which has just come to light is the fact that he was accompanied by his wire. The penitentiary accounts at the audi tor's office show that during the time she was traveling with her husband, nearly four months, Mrs. Reed drew a salary from the state of $100 a month as day matron of the state prison. Dur ing the time he was away Reed drew his salary of $150 a month, in addi tion to his $50 a month as a member 1 E. I Ei I I i E3 K i.?j8 m 7 ft V I .11 I SV v S 1 J-:;?
