AssAILED BY STRANGER
Police Asked to Investigate an Attempt at
Assault

Another attempt at assault has been
added to the already long list of such
cases occurring in the city within the past
few weeks. A young woman was as

Twelfth avenues S, near her home. She
screamed for help and the man took to
his heels. The police think that the man
was drunk but the young woman is not
inclined to accept that explanation for the
insult and insists that the officers find her
aSsailant.

INSPECTED THE
STREET PAVING
Mayor and City CounciImen
Looked at It Today.
WILL HOLD MEE1IMe MONDAY nIeA1
Action CT Accepting the Work Done
by Barber Asphalt Company
Will BE Taken.

With the exception of number OF
extension of concrete sidewalks, which
will be done under private contract,
the Barber Asphalt company today
finished the work of paving the streets
in the business district of Walla Walla.
This morning Mayor Hunt and
number of the members of the city

ent Baylor of the asphalt company,
and Inspector Bishop went over all the

COUNTY SCHOOL SUPERINTEND-
ENTS IN STATE WORK FOR
LONGER TERM.
Want the Present Law Amended Ac
eordinsIy-Make Tenure Same
as Superior Judge.

1t is predicted an effort will be made
state and other leading educators to
secure some action by the incoming
legislature that will both lengthen the
term of Office for county school super
intendents and will also make it pos
sible through a constitutional amend
ment for a county school superintend-
ent to be reelected as many times as
his constituents may desire.
AS the matter now stands. it makes
no difference how competent man the
county may secure in that position, he
can serve at the longest not more than
four years, and by the time that he
has become most useful to the people
and school interests of his county, it
is argued, it becomes impossible to
longer continue him in office.
The county SUPPLEMENTARY is one
of the few Offices demanding special
and professional preparation, asserts
the Northwest Journal of Education.
There is no reason why the term of
office should mt be as long as that of
judge of the superior court, and there
is every reason why the people should
be able to secure his services as long
as they desire, because those services
become more valuable to the pople
with the added years of experience in
the office.
Most of the county offices can be
flied by any man of ordinary business
judgment and average clerical ability,
and the constitutional regulation re-
stricting the occupants of such offices
to two consecutive terms may be a
very wise one but in the case Of such
an office as the county school super
intendency, the reasons for such re-
strictions do not hold.
The Northwest Journal of Education
suggests that the school people of
each county take pains between now
and the first of the year to interview
the members of the legislature elected
from their respective localities and to
secure their approval and promise to
favor and promote the legislation
above suggested.

TO take CENSUS NEXT YEAR
WHATcOM COUNTY LEGISLATOR
WILL INTRODUCE MEASURE
AT COMING SESSION.
Legislative disappointment, Based on
this Census, Will Be Made in
the Year 1907.

One of the laws which it is predicted
the coming legislature will be called
upon to consider will be one providing
for the taking of a state census next
year. Section 35 of article II of the
state constitution provides as follows:
The legislature will provide by law
for an enumeration of the inhabitants
of the state in the year one thousands
eight hundred and ninety-five and
first session after each enumeration
made by the authority Of the United
and district anew the members of the
senate and house of representatives
according to the number of inhabi-
tants. excluding Indians not taxed,
soldiers, sailors and officers of the
United States army and navy in active
service.
Consequently the state should get
into the census taking business, though
perhaps on not so elaborate scale
as that on which Uncle Sam, counts
noses every decade.
Legislative reappOrtionment, based
on this census, will not come up until
the session of 1907. The constitution
provides that the house of representa-
tives shall be composed of not less
than sc nor more than 80 members
and that the number of senators shall
Der of members of the house of repre-
sentatives." At present there are "a
members of the house and AZ members
of the senate.

position was very good, his thought
could be closely followed throughout his

Mr.. Durham brought out the fact that
Burr's environment was the cause Of

downward and could not let him rise
Lastly, he gave a description OF Burr's

the whole, a noble statesman, a brilliant
