All decisions subsequent to volume 88 Supreme and 93 Appeals are reported in the Southwestern Reporter, 151 vols., together with all decisions for the last 27 years from Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Texas, and all decisions of Indian Territory. The tables of cross-citations furnished with the Southwestern make it a simple matter to find the cases, even if cited by the State Report page and volume. The Missouri Court of Appeals was organized in 1876. The final jurisdiction was very low, and until 1902 it was not regarded as a court of last resort. The jurisdiction was changed in 1902, and we then began to publish the decisions in the Southwestern Reporter. We will furnish prices and full information on request.

The Pacific Reporter, 128 vols., contains all decisions subsequent to vol. 3 Montana, and all decisions for the last 30 years of California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming, and all decisions of Arizona and Oklahoma. The tables of crosscitations furnished with the Pacific make it a simple matter to find the cases, even if cited by the State Report page and volume. Owing to the limited number of local precedents, it is necessary to go outside of Montana for case-law authorities, and the Pacific Reporter is the medium naturally chosen. Indeed, the set is usually considered indispensable in all the Pacific Coast states. This is especially true as to Montana, for the reason that the Montana Code was adapted from that of California, and the courts follow the California decisions closely. The Pacific contains 75 per cent. of all the California decisions, including hundreds that are nowhere else reported. Write for price and full information. WEST PUBLISHING Co., St. Paul, Minn.
