The county court met in regular ses sion Wednesday morning. The fore noon was spent in reid'mg over the journal. A protest was entered by E, II. FlagK against the application of the Rsoistkb to be designated the county official paper. The erst while city at torney of Rainier, from Portland, bored the court with an argument of nearly two hours, in which he utterly failed to make the court believe that they did not order that the matter of designating an official paper be nut off until the first day of the March term. Attorney W. C. Fischer, of Rainier, represented the Rcoister in a very able manner, show ing conclusively that the only thing that stood in the war of conforming to the law and counting the names to de termine the matter was the fact that Mitchell ia not a Republican. The court wrestled over the proposition of amend ing the records until dark, except during a short time when a saloon license was granted Butts & Isbell, of Goble. The bond of the sheriff as tux collector was approved. The petition of Felix Debast and 25 others for the opening of a road back of Rainier was read. B. F. Van was appointed road supervisor of Dis trict 13, instead of the regular appointee wlro had failed to qualify. At the time of going to press Thursday morning the court it still in session. The Ret.istek'k list of names is still on file. Just what wilt be done is not plain, as Mitchell is not a Republican nd in the language of a former county commissioner, "the law may be d d, a Republican paper should be designated on general princi ples." However, the Rkjister will live and continue to publish court proceed ings and il other matters of news, better it is the official paper or not. V r r Vi ADDITIONAL ST.
