One of the crying needs Of the
state is law to regulate the sal
aries of county officers. All reports
from the legislature are to the eff
feet that such measure is making
favorable progress. The law
should be one fixing salaries in
positive terms. The compensation
for public service should be every
way adequate; and no niggardy
sentiment should find expression
in this law. The people will sup
port the policy of liberal pay to
public officials. However there
should be no exorbitant salaries
paid to principles or unreasonable
fees 10 deputies. The fees fixed
by law should cover the excess of
work and then the question of
deputies would be self regulating.

The San Jose Scale.

Prof. ]. M. Aldrich, of the state
university, has issued bulletin
about the San Jose scale and the
eradication OF this dangerous fruit
tree pest. The history of the scale
is given, and the results of past
efforts to destroy it are faithfully
set forth in this bulletin.
The lesson learned is that no
material progress has resulted from
combating the San Jose scale in
the old way. The one instance
of successful spraying by A.
Mcpherson. in Boise. is cited as it
has been at every fruit growers
meeting on the coast and in every
publication on the subject for the
past year. This one instance of

Every town in the Northwest
has railroad boom of its own.
Lewiston has feeling of security
here in the gateway. This scram-
bic is caused by the re-organiza-
ton of the railroad systems. The
Snake river valley scheme is sell
laudatory proposition. OF course
all points cannot hope to get on
this main line, but they all want
to be tributary to the system OF
which Lewiston is the gateway.

The suggestion is offered that
the inauguration of a thorough
system of street pavement would
cause a movement in Lewiston
real estate. The custom of hold
ing valuable locations without
buildings or other Improvements
prevails In Lewiston to some ex-
tent. A vacant lot that was taxed
for street pavement would forcibly
suggest either a sale or building
that would rent for enough to pay
this assessment.

The Spalding Press derisively
asks what Lewiston will do for
population when the anti gambling
law drives the gamblers out of
the city. If there were justihca-
ton for this SANDER Lewiston in
that event would be like Spalding,
which never had population
except that the Lewiston papers
would not, even then, be devoid of
the courtesy due to the citizens of
all communities from public jour
mails.

The old history of Lewiston is
very interesting. There is no bet
ter field for the romancer than this.
The romancers are getting in their
work but they pass off their stories
for history on The public. One P.
w. johnson who poses as com
panion piece of Joaquin Miller tells
some stories through the papers
about Lewiston. He came in the
fall of 1861 to the site of this city
and reports it to have been desert.
The fact is Lewiston was here at
that time and had a population of
10000 very lively people. The
fact that palpable inconsistency
passes current demonstrates the
demand for history of the times
and places now of general interest.
The discerning man observes with
pathetic concern the passing away
of the heroes of our early history.
These picturesque characters are
going one by one. The chain of
history has been broken by dealt
many times within the past year.
Other characters are growing
feeble. Their memories are fading
and the incidents of 40 years ago
ar : very dim mental pictures now.
The incidents of our history should
be preserved before the time so far
passes as to give romance like the
story told by P. w. Johnson a
passport to public attention as fact

Lewiston must make prepare.
tons for a grand public memorial
service when the body of our hero,
Major McConville, is returned here
for burial. 1t is suggested that
the secret orders of which this he
70 was an honored member, take
the initiative in this memorial SER
vice. and honor all the people by
permitting them to contribute funds
and personal tribute to our hero.
If generous, patriotic old Lewis
ton can have an opportunity to
fittingly honor Major McConville,
this memorial service will surpass
any other such service in all the
history of the state.

The state university comes for

condition that caused this def

hoped the usefulness of this insti-

continuance of the false economy

1t Is now an assured fact that
Lewiston will grow to a popula-
ton of 20, 900 just as soon as the
room can be provided for that
many people. Dwelling houses
and business houses must be built
to accommodate these people.
Lewiston has grown for more than
a year as fast as she could grow
without more room for business
and more shelter for the people.

year-old mare, Rita E., took the 2:2O
