rant closer scrutiny was S2.0O0 fee
paid to Mr.. J. G. l.. Harris, former pres
ident of the Board of Agriculture, attor-
ney for it, member of 1T, CONFIDENTIAL
adviser and bottle holder to it. 1T APP
peared from the record that when these
several functions were thrust upon Loge
the fixed salary of attorney to the board
was raised from 500 TO sou per an
nun. The committee wanted to know
why Loge came so high.
The first witness called was Mr.. +. H.
Rusbee who was also counsel Ill the case
in which Loge got the $1,000 fee. Mr..
Rushep stated that the case was that OF
the Patapsco Guano Company VS.. The
Board of 4 griclllturc and involved the
very existence of the latter. that the
case began in the United States Circuit
court where it was argued on briefs pre-
pared by Busbee and Bushee and Bat
tie and Mordecai carried up to the Uni
ted States Supreme court and argued
similarly, all this before Harris con-
nection with the case. Before the case
went up for the second time the fusion
lists took charge Of the board and Harris
was employed as associate counsel. When
the last hearing was had before the Uni
ted States Supreme court the case was
argued on the briefs prepared by Busbee
and Rusbce and Battle and Mordccai.
Mr. Harris used no brief but argued
orally. When paying time came each OF
the firms got $1,000 for having prepared
the case. and having argued. it three
times before the courts. Did Loge come
in? He did, for just $1,000 for the one
piece of chin music he gave the court.
WAS there any occasion for the pay
mcnt of such a fee to Mr.. Harris after
the case lad been carried so far without
him." asked Chairman Brown.
Mr. Busbee put ON the smile HE always
wears when Simonton shovels out an
other basket of iniunctions: MIR. Har-
ris was er-er-of service in the case.
He argued before the court. should
not like to criticise the department for
employing counsel in accord with the
political sentiments of the majority.

WAS his employment necessary to the
success of the suit?''
NO one can tell in advance just what
lawyers are necessary. With all due
modesty. though. | think Messrs. Battle
and Morlecai and Busbee and Busbct

Board"
| Mr.. Busbee stated in conclusion that
! the firms who had been employed in Tho
case for four years thought the fec OF
$4,000 moderate but adequate.
| Mr.. r. H. Battle testified to the same
| facts as set forth in the testimony of Mr.
| Busbee.
| 1t might be added that the Board die
not pay the Supreme court license
of either Messrs Busbee and Bushea
or Messrs. Battle and Mordeca. Wa.

better? 1t pays sometimes to be in ''po

Tie Mining & Scientific Press we'll says; Modern comfort, modern prog ress, the achievements of science, the daily requirements of every line of business, all depend upon the mining industry, which is the greatest factor Tn the industrial development of the nation. Nothing Las done more for the country; nothing has had less re- cognition. The mining industry has developed this west half of America, has furnished the sinews of war and the requirements of peace, and its trials and successes rival the greatest of any other of the worlds achievements. The mining industry is entitled to rep reseutation in the presidential cabinet, not as favor or fostering care, but as a matter of business, a necessary present demand, a measure of justice to the general public, whose needs could be better conserved thereby.

The emphatic denial of the publishe

The emphatic denial of the published rumors that Admiral Dewey's health was rapidly failing and he would be relieved of the command at Manila, has been received by the American public with much satisfaction. He above all others who contributed to the success of the American arms in the late war with Spain, is entitled to have his name emblazoned on the scroll of history, and his expressed determination to remain at his post until his task is finished is worthy of the man. There are no frills on Ad- miral Dewey and he objects to any fuss being made over him. Duty is his guiding star.

Lewiston teller. [volume] (Lewiston, North Idaho) 1878-1900, 1899-03-01
c. c. BunnellS 5 Farewell.

Mr. {. c. Bunnell formally retired
from the mercantile business in this city
last Monday. Mr. Buunell may be said
to have entered on the business career
which ended this week in 1860 in Port
land He started the hardware house
there of which this became branch at
that time. The Lewiston house was
started i'll 1862. Since that date the store
in this city has never been closed.
Mr.. Bunnell is in the true sense a
pioneer business man. He became init
mately associated with the business of
this district at the very inception of the
commercial idea and he was identified
with it in all its changes from the very
first to the present time. He showed his
faith in the country by earnest devotion
to his important branch of the work of
its upbuilding.
The part played by the business men
in the building up of the country has
never been appreciated. The man who
SdihC III lHS udyS Vi luS SOlu dlit lOok
the cream of trade for season does not
deserve the credit due the real pioneer.
He was mere adventurer. The man who
staid through the visisitudes of years re-
quired the courage of soldier to sustain
him.
No other man i'll Lewiston deserves
more credit for the progress of Lewiston
through varying conditions of fortune
than Mr.. Bunnell. He was found at his
post when the miners went off on the
last steamer in the fall to never return
and when the succeeding era dawned
and the stock raiser and farmer came he
encouraged them to increase their herds
and plow and SOW the golden grain. He
knew in turn all about the mines, about
the ranges and about the grain fields.
He was the pioneer teacher i'll these arts.
Some of the first in these fields of busi-
ness say they got their inspiration from
c. c. Bunnell who had learned not only
the needs of the country from the stand
point of the hardware merchant, but he
knew the miners business, the river
mans business, the stockna ms and the
farmers business all by heart before they
knew it themselves. This is the sense
in which Mr.. Bunnell was pioneer.
