She is the only woman special exam iner in this country. In this case Miss Bell takes the place of a judge of the United States District Court of Oregon, Robert S Bean.

An effort was put forth by an in terviewer to make Miss Bell “fee! big,’’ but it was to the last degree un successful. "It is ridiculous to con sider this matter one of any import ance,’’ she replied. This, however, is far and away the most important case that was ever prosecuted under such conditions, and Miss Bell is equal to the occasion. She has already taken testimony in San FYancisco. Tacoma, Seattle, Spo kane Butte and Denver, und when the case is completed in this city, which will be in a few' days, she will proceed to New York on a similar mission and possibly to other cities.
