State Supreme Court last Monday
in the suit Of Thesis VS.. City Treas
urer of Moscow 10 the effect that
the expenses of city government
must be paid out of The revenues of
the fiscal year in which they were
incurred. This version of the law
has never been applied to city cor

al design is most beautiful and appro-
pirate. 1t stands with imposing gran
duer in the midst of a campus of ten
acres of ground selected with discretion
and good judgment on the Hill, over
looking the lovely Lewiston valley.
Two grand rivers roll their refreshing
floods below the green banks, past the
observatory doors. and grand mountain
ridges circle the landscape with their
blue forest shades that soften the glare
of summer light. The grounds are
susceptible of the most elaborate em-
beilishment. The lawns, trees and
flowers of Lewiston are noted far away
and the sweet reminders of natures
bounty will ever be at hand to refine
the tastes and chasten the hearts of
the patrons of the Normal School.
AS we approach the new building
inthe center of bright natural land
scape, the arched doors open to well
come all friends. Wrought in stone
are beautiful designs and inscriptions
The entry to the first floor is through
large hall with broad stairways lead
ing to the basement and to the rooms
above, all of which are furnished and
supplied with apparatus. In the base
meut are store.rOom 2lx24 f., a
chemical Iabratory 34x24 # and an
engine room Slx26 feet. There are
also closets and other conveniences.
On the first floor there are four class
! rooms, two of which are 3Ox25 feet and
two 27x35 feet. There are also the
presidents private Office and cloak
rooms OF. this floor. On the 2nd floor
are the lady professors private office
l2xl2 feet; one class room 25X3O; library
l6x25; recitation room l9x25 and the
Assembly Hall 27xS3 feet. On the 3rd
floor are the Auditorium, 55x55 feet,
with seats for 535 people, raised
stage, Is inches high, 36X40 feet aud a
retiring room l3xl3 feet.
All through the building are heavy
double floors, the best known hard
finished walls. The furniture is of the
latest approved patterns and most sub
stantial make. 1t Is said to he the
best and cheapest ever brought to the
State. Some of the pieces are very
elaborate and all are beautifully de-
signed.
The triumphant consummation OF
all this for our lovely little city leads
to the commentator of all who have
worked together for our interests. The
board of regents is deserving of UNI
stinted praise for their devotion to tho
welfare of the cause. The building Is
undoubtedly the best for the cost in all
the northwest and the furnishings ar,
said to he the best kind of results OF
perfect knowledge of the eeds of the
school in selection and good busine-,
Judgment in economic expenditure.

From Graugeville.

ED. TELLER:
AsI promised to write you the news
from this section. or more perhaps
from Florence, will give you the
latest from that camp. The snow is
five feet on level and very solid. A
good many idle men there and no place
for II poor man yet. The mines are
dong the proper thing and prospects
for good camp are extraordinarily y
good. The Mclean saw mill is run
ming and will soon have plenty of
lumher to supply the camp. The. road
from here to Florence is breaking ~
and is in bad condition.
Lewiston can look out for high water
again this spring. Dug Holton just
arrived from Boise via Salmon Mead

MR.. EDITOR.-Your editorial para

The petition presented to the Legisla-

of the Portuguese and their petition,

Much time was spent in discussing
ways and means of awakening new life
and activity in the few churches that
are now without pastors. A lookout

Ministerial training was another of
the important questions under consio-
Grafton. The students of the North Pa
cific Missionary Institute were actively
engaged in Christian work in this city
as well as drilled in the management
of the various auxiliary organizations
connected with church work in these
modern days. More and more the prac-
teal side of church activities comes into
prominence, as distinct from the the
oretical and theological instruction,
which must be kept up as of fundamen
tai importance. All this takes time, and
the students are giving more time than
formerly to their work, and the work of
instruction is increased with the recent
addition of the corps of teachers. The
Christian community ought to be rous
ed to greater interest in the work of
this training school for Hawaiian pas
tors To look after and provide for the
training of dozen young men takes
time and work, and needs also more
money than has yet been provided for
the necessary and increasing expenses
of such an institution, which must be
progressive if it is expected to be eff
ficient.
The various boarding schools of the
city were reported as in a fourishing
condition, both in regard to number of
pupils and progress of their work. Ear
nest and faithful and skillful Christian
men and women are conducting these
schools. The manual training insisted
upon is an essential element of their
success. But many Hawaiian parents
are foolish enough to be unwilling to
send their children to such schools.
They want results without working for
them.
1t was urged upon the pastors and all
parents present to uphold the dignity
and worth of manual labor, and do away
so far as their influence goes with the
common prejudice of Hawaiians against
manual labor, even if the wages be
small and the work not so elegant nor
so easy as they desire.

OLD Man MITCHELL.
A Familiar Figure Dead at 102
Years.

Cook and Steward-Twice Mar
ried-In Brewing Business.

Leonard Mitchell (colored), aged 1O2
years, died at his home. Punchbowl
street, at 4:45 p. m. yesterday, the cause
of death being old age.
Mitchell was born in the State of
New York, January 80, 1894. When he
was about So years of age he came to
Honolulu on a whaling vessel After
several trips from various foreign ports
to Honolulu he decided to remain on the
islands, and so gave up life on the
ocean wave
Mitchell engaged in different pur-
suits, turning his hand to anything that
happened to come along. AS a cook he
was unequalled, and as a waiter he
held the same position. Shortly after
arrival here he went to Lahaina to live
for while. He was twice married, both
times to Hawaiians. By his last wife,
who survives him, he had three daugh-
tiers and a son. One of the girls is now
in the insane asylum.
In a chat last evening with a gentle
man personally acquainted with Mitch
ell, some interesting facts were cleaned.
What, remember Mitchell? / guess

the last fifteen years. Yes, good fell
low that-always polite and affable, and
always ready to stop and have few
words just for the sake of old ac-
quaintance.
MY, but wasn't he fond of brilliant
colors, and wasn't he a dandy Always
wore good clothes and always appeared
to have enough money to live comfort
ably on. His old age made no differ
ence with his clothes, and old Len used
to fix up in some very queer looking
costumes toward the end of his career
on earth. AS matter of fact, he never
looked old. Always carried himself like
a soldier, and was very powerful man
in the bargain.
Lens life was not always smooth
and unruff1ed Back in 80 or 'S2 he
started in to make beer at Lahaina. 1t
was very soon found that this contained
more than it should, as subsequent in
formation proved. He was arrested, but
got out on payment of the accustomed
fine.
well, I'm surprised the old man has
gone. l expected him to live on forever,
but it seems that he must needs follow
the same path as all the rest of us"
