For the information of those who
may feel disconnected or annoyed at
what may be termed an encroachment
on the Temple Hill drive, 1t may be
stated that 1t Is the intention OF the
city to lower the grade from the
Miner corner to the top of the hill.
About four feet Of the hill will be re-
moved. This would have been begun
before this time but for the fact that
Surveyor Schaub has been kept so
busy that he has not had sufficient
time to establish grade. The gravel
haulers dug almost into the roadway,
but were stopped sometime ago.
However, as the cut Is to be made
sooner or later they might as well
haul from the road just so long as
there Is left a driveway Of sufficient
width TO permit of public travel.
Every load they take from there is a
saving to the city. and people with
acute aesthetic tastes need be dis
turbed but short time.

The Salary Question.

Instead Of cutting of the salaries OF
the Mayor and City Councilman, II
would be better proposition to pay
them a sufficient salary to make II
worth the while for capable, progress
sive citizens and good, solid business
men" to devote the time that Is re-
quired to look after the city's business
in the proper way. The city's business
is rather voluminous, the position of
the Mayor and councilmen is a thank
less one, and the average business man
Is not endowed with such philan-
thropic and sweetly charming DISPOSE
tion that he is willing to stand the
"cussings" and ill-natured badgerings
OF an excitable populace who feel that
public office is private snap. There are
more petty, insignificant, miserable
little affairs brought up for the con-
sideration of the councilmen and the
Mayor than any Bishop or newspaper
man in the State has to contend with
and unless all receive prompt atten-
tion and satisfactory judgment, every
thing is damned from stem to stern.
There may be good men who are will
ing to give their time TO the city for
nothing, but We'll wager a $40 note
that II they should do so, they would
discover in less than ten weeks that
the Office is worth ten times the salary
they refused to accept. If the council
men and the Mayor had nothing more
to do than attend semi-mOnthly meet
ing and pass upon matters that were
brought before them in just exactly
the proper shape, 1t might be pleas
ure to look after the city's affairs, but
the councilmen are obliged to take a
great deal Of time TO look after the
business as portioned to the different
committees, and the Mayor Is looked
to as the proper man to stir up on any
and all occasions, necessarily neglect.
ing his private business many times to
look after city matters that may be OF
grave or little concern. The city can
not afford to pay what the duties and
annoyances of its offices demand, but
1t can at least pay its officers for the
actual time taken from their personal
business-and this need not exclude
capable, progressive citizens aud good
solid business men" from serving as
city officials, either, II this class of
men are not satisfied with the usual
nominations, let them attend the
primaries and see that the proper kind
of delegates are selected and finally
the right kind of men nominated and
elected. Go to the primaries and see
that these awful salary grabbers do
not pack" the place and win out.
Nominate the proper men and elect
the proper men and then II they want
TO give their services gratis, let them
refrain from drawing their salaries.
AS general rule, II bad service costs
money, good service seldom costs less.

The news that a Chicago physician
has discovered a sure cure for lock-
jaw is more than welcome in this age
of toy pistols, but the statement that
the lockjaw cure is also eflicacious in
the matter Of snakeblte will not serve
to increase its popularity. There is a
certain brand of liquid refreshments
that Is deemed all sufficient and which
will not be retired by any discovery of
a Chicago physician.

1t is respectfully suggested by those
in charge of the distribution of water
throughout the city and county, that
no one should waste any Of the same
at the present time. The river is
very low and In various places in the
county IL Is impossible to procure
the water that is absolutely nee
essary. Sprinklers Of lawns may use
all the water necessary Of course, but
should not permit their hydrants to
remain open so long that everything
around is flooded and much water
wasted. Likewise, the streams at the
sides OF the streets should not
be damned in such way that the
streets are flooded with water that is
needed on better ground. This care
will be necessary for only about two
or three weeks, and it would seem
that water users can well consider
Others for that length of time.

IL Is now up to the drug stores as to
whether they pay a city license or
quit selling liquor. The Council We'd
nesday night passed an ordinance
making the posseSsor of a government
revenue license IA liquor dealer and
subject TO city liquor regulations. If
the drug stores want TO fill prescrip-
tions they must take a government
license, and when the Marshal finds
such license. which must be conspic-
ously displayed, all he has to do is to
say pay up to the CITY," This is TO
protect the drug stores and saloons
that do pay license to sell liquor, and
seems very fair This removes one of
the contentious between the drug
stores, and now when the saloon and
drug store licenses are made uniform,
the chickering's between the drug
stores and saloons will stop. The drug
stores pays 5000 for wholesale license
and the saloons 5000 for retai,.

The Republicans of Wellsville are
considering the ACCESSIBILITY Of nomi-
mating a municipal ticket this fall.
Heretofore there has been no politics
in Wcllsville's municipal affairs, and
it is claimed that this has not worked
satisfactorily. We are of the opinion
that fusion proposition seldom
works satisfactorily any place, and
we have never seen just reason why a
fusion proposition should prevail in
municipal politics anywhere at any
time. If the individual members OF
either party will insist on putting for
ward their best men and conducting
the city's business in the same way
required to make Individual business
successful the result need never be
In doubt, no matter which party is
in power. If the parties will not do
this, fusion proposition Will not
remedy matters and the strongest
party, even though corrupt, might as
well hold the reins of government. In
dividing the offices between two par
ties there is usually considerable dis
satisfaction, and If there is any salts
faction in it at all we have failed TO-
hear of it. Line up your party in the
city and win out, and it will help you to
win out in county state and nation. 1t
Is organization from the ground-floor
up that counts.

1t is a source OF congratulation all
round that the Larsen-Farrell case
has been brought to definite end.
The question as TO who should receive
the salary OF the clerks Office since
January LIST. has been settled and with
the presence OF Mr.. Larsen in the Office
after Monday, the affair will become a
matter of history. Mr. Farrell has
been courteous and competent Official
and retires with honor. Mr. Larsen
will prove equally as obliging and we
have no doubt but that he will con-
duct the affairs Of the Office with
credit to himself and those who elect

The catalogue number OF the Brig
ham Young College quarterly Bulletin
from the press of j. p. Smith, printer,
is splendid piece of work typograph-
ically and a comprehensive com
mentary on the school and the
work of its various departments. A
full page half-tone OF President Brig
ham Young, founder of the school, is
a fitting frontispiecc, and twenty-six
other half-tone illustrations give a
fair idea of the appearance OF the
buildings and the work. There arc
thirty-two instructors in the school.
The splendid success and rapid growth
OF this school testifies to its worth,
and there is little doubt that the
courses offered there are the equal OF
any taught in the other big schools OF
the State. President LiEford as the
head Of the school is an educator Of
recognized merit and is putting forth
every effort to bring the school to the
pinnacle of success and popularity.

The managers of The Logan Sugar
Factory state that that mill can con-
sumo 10000 tons more beets than IL
has ever had opportunity to handle,
and for this reason alone cannot see
the ACCESSIBILITY of constructing an
other in this county. lnasmuch as II
has been decided that factory is to
be operated at Lewiston, there Is
nothing to be gained in discussing the
ACCESSIBILITY Of two factories In the
valley-instead the thing to do is for
the farmers to 60 TO work and raise
enough beets to supply both factories.
The Logan Sugar Factory people adj
nit that it is entirely possible for
enough beets TO be raised in the valley
when the farmers become educated TO
the idea OF raising beetS, but say that
there will have TO be radical change
in sentiment. Beets are Il good pro-
duct, paying a handsome profit per
acreage, yet there are hundreds Of
acres remaining uncultivated ,.,rough-
out the valley. Beets pay from $40 to
s45 per acre, and yet there are many
farmers who have excellent beet
ground from which they do not derive
an income Of so an acre. We know
little or nothing about any dissatis-
faction that may have arisen between
the local factory and the beet growers,
but it is safe TO say that competition
for beets will have tendency to make
the management OF both mills as con-
siderate as business principles will
allow, and there need be no trouble in
the future. The local factory has
made extensive Improvements during
the past few months enabling it to
handle all beets promptly, and is
endeavorlng TO meet all conditions
satisfactorily,

To Cache Beet Growers.

II. O. Havemeyer the sugar king
has recognized the Irrigation Congress
to be held at Ogden on September Is
to 18th, inclusive, land offers $500 low
ing-cup for the best exhibition of beets
at the Congress. This affair is get
ting decidedly interesting. $500 prizes
are offered for the best exhibition OF
fruits, hops and barley, and now
comes $500 for beets. This is con-
test in which Cache beet growers
stand a show with the rest of the
world. 1t has been said time and
again that Cache county raises the
finest sugar beets in the country, and
now is the time to prove IL. The COM
petition is open to every man who
cares to exhibit and the only expense
attached to the competition is that of
transporting the exhibit to Ogden.
At the present time, the beet out
look in Cache Valley is far above the
average, and without doubt there are
some extraordinarily fine fields of the
beets throughout the valley. Those
farmers who have such fields should
not fail to give this matter their
immediate attention. A letter adj.
dressed to Hon. Fred j. Kiesel. Ogden,
Utah, will bring inll particulars In
in regard to the exhibit of beets OF
any other product, Some Cache Val
ley farmer might as well have that

NATURAL GAS FOUND
Opposite ASTORIA
On the Washington Side-lt May
Mean Great Things for That
Part of State.

Astoria. Ore.-An important dis
covery of petroleum gas has been
made at Deep River, opposite Astoria
on the north side Of the Columbia,
that is likely to cause a revolution in
conditions Oh the lower Columbia.
Sometime since Mr. John Nelson, who
owns several hundred acres of land
near the mouth of Deep River found
the water constantly bubbling up
from the bed OF Gas Creek at low tide
He finally tested it and found it
burned like Illuminating gas. Thel
away. and it furnished both Light and
fuel. An oil expert, Mr.. S. H. Patter-
son, who for many years bored oil
wells in Kansas and Indiana, came and
pronounced it hydro carbon or petrO-
leum gas Of high grade and said the
entire Deep River basin was underlaid
with petroleum. Then a sample OF the
gas was sent to Prof. +. d. Campbell,
the famous chemist of Ann ArbOr uni
versiCy. He pronounced it hydrO-car-
bon gas OF nlSu Sldue. MS dLdl9 Hi0
shows 919S per cent Of methane or
hydrOcarbOn and Up per cent OF car
bon dioxide. with 3.3S per cent of nj
trogen and 2.SS per cent Of hydrogen.
These certificates have settled beyond
question the existence of petroleum
gas in the Deep River basin, which
has certainly the appearance OF great
oil region. Deep River itself is
singular feature of that region. AS It's
name indicates. it is very deep. 1t is
1870 feet in depth at low tide and IS
most likely a volcanic assure. The
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1903-06-10

gas bubbles up at extra low tide all
along its entire length.
This important discovery will make
a great stir. 1t is understood that
President Mellen will extend his line
to this point from South Bend and al
SO from kaIama. Mr.. Nelson and the
adjacent land owners have selected an
agent to negotiate a contract of leas-
ing with capitalists for boring a test
we'll for a gusher. If an extensive de-
post of petroleum is found it will
supply all the steamers and railways
with fuel an will make a great man
ufacturing city. The oil or gas either,
can be piped 1000 miles and can sup
ply Seattle, Tacoma, Portland and
Astoria with the fuel for factories.
Location Of these Oil wells at the
mouth of the Columbia will give it
control of the oil market and will
make a great revolution on the lower
Columbia 1t is believed that it will
have magical effect on Astoria,
bringing the Union Pacific down to
that port.

Was Timely Move.
Ex-Governor Moore. who has taken
great interest in securing good roads
throughout the state, said the good
roads question was attracting wide
spread attention all over the United
States and every progressive state
was endeavOring to better itself in
this respect The farmers of the
state might devote a little of the time
spent in denouncing railroads to i'm
proving their roads, though the nee
essity Of securing lower freight rates
is also very essential at present.
The governor advanced the idea
that the use of oil upon WaIla WaIla
county roads was impracticable owing
to the porous nature of the soil which
would soon absorb the oil and leave
the roads in pretty much their Origi-
nal condition. He thought that to
build a mile Of rock road as an expert
ment would solve the problem for all
time to come If a large number of
unemployed cOnvicts now in the pen
itentiary were put to work on county
roads it would be humane act to the
prisoners as we'll as result in fine
roadways in the course Of a few
years.
He moved that President Turner
appoint cOmmitte Of five to confer
with the state board Of audit and con-
troll on its next visit to Walla Walla
Incorporate Club.
Inasmuch as the present bylaws
of the club do not seem to cover the
objects and scope Of the club. the
question Of incorporating and issuing
stock was suggested by Attorney
Blandford. He stated that all Com
mercial clubs fulfilling the object they
were intended for are Incorporated.

TRACKS ARE CLEAR.

Lat0urell Falls, says the OregOnian
The Spokane train reached Portland
yesterday morning a few hours late
and all the other trains were as near
ly on time as possible. Trains are
now passing the point without incon-
venience.
The locomotive and baggage car
which left the track at the scene of
the accident, have been allowed to
remain there. A Wrecking crew from
Portland is at the spot endeavOring
to replace the cars on the track. but
this is slow work.
The locomotive tipped over and is
lying on its side Until the engine
is righted it Will be difficult for off
Gals to estimate the extent of the
damage done to rolling stock. 1t is
asserted at the headquarters of the
road, however, that the loss will be
very light. The delay to the Spokane
express is held to be the most serious
inconvenience.
