and he did his duty Clear down to
lead pencils, the speaker examined the
list and eliminated what he considered
luxuries or unnecessary supplies.
The house has neatly Autographed
letterheads, and this is something in
the nature of a concession on the part
OF the speaker, VINO, himself. was anx-
ious to get away from the regular
stereOtyped form that he has faced
for seven preceding sessions.
Speaker Megler allowed the resolu-
ton for supplies TO go through too
late. for the/ senate picked up all the
long tables that were available for
committee rooms. When the house
went out to begin buying it was found
no table long enough could be had
either in Olympia, Tacoma or Seattle
Then with the speakers sanction. an
Olympia dealer telephoned to Portland
for tables, but could not get the right
kind.
1t is possible that Seattle cabinet
makers could turn out any kind of table
the house wanted, and with the order
on hand Friday or Saturday, could
have delivered them today. But the
speaker decided that secondhand
tables would have to do the house tenn
porarily and that some future. session
could better conditions if necessary.
Speaker Megler has served for
years On the appropriation committees
of the two houses. and he has been ac-
expense. His policy of rigid econ
my may embarrass the members
looking for good things, but it will
result in saving anyway.
This session is going TO cost the
taxpayers of the state in the neigh
borhood of 100000. Already $4,000
has been appropriated, but that sum
will have to be increased by subsequent
appropriations.
In a measure a big increase is un-
avOidable, for the two houses must now
provide for taking care Of much larger
quarters than ever before, and every
thing costs more money. Extra door
keepers and janitors, for instance, are
essential but, after all, this is a small
item. Possibly some of the other ex-
ira expenses are not so essential.
Speaker Megler thinks so.

NEXT PAVING DONE WILL COST
LESS MONEY SAYS ENGi-
NEER WILSON.
Engineer Is Busy Getting Out Plans
and Specifications for Proposed
improvements.

Plans and specifications for the pro-
posed street improvements in Walla
Walla this year, recommended by the
street committee, are being prepared
in the city engineers office. Engineer
Wilson and a force of assistants have
been engaged in the work for the past
month, but owing to the extensive i'm
provements planned it will take some
time yet to get out the data and make
up the estimates.
II believe we will be able to effect a
saving of several thousand dollars on
the next paving contract" said City
Engineer Wilson this morning. Water
drains and piping necessary to carry
the. water off cost entirely too much
in the work Just finished up and in the
future these little matters will receive
careful attention as to cost. The force
around my Office is busy at present
preparing plans and specifications for
the new street improvements The
proposed work was recommended by
the street committee and as the watch
word of the present administration is
progress Walla Walla will make great
strides in street improvements in 1905"
The street scheduled for improve
ment as recommended by the commit
tee are as follows:
/ Asphalt pavement on Main street
from Sixth to Ninth and from Mill
creek bridge to the east side of Pa
louise street: on Alder street from East
to Park: on Palouse street from Alder
to Main; sand on Second, Third and
Fourth streets, from Main street to
the Mill creek bridge.
Macadam on Main from Ninth to
Eleventh streets, thence to Rose and
thence to the railroad track: on East
Alder from Park to Clinton: on First
from Alder to Whitman; on Second
from Alder to Garrison creek: on
Third from Alder to Eagan avenue;
on Fourth from Alder to Eagan ave-
nue.. and on North Second. North Third
and North Fourth from Mill creek
bridges to Oak street.

SPEAKER MEGLER ECONOMICAL
MerciIessiy Blue Pencils Requests o
House Members for Supplies.

OLYMPIA, Wash, Jan. 25.-Wnen
members of the house asked the other
day for stub pens, Speaker ]. G. Meg
Ter sent pages around to distribute
| them, but the boys were under orders
not to permit any of the members to
take more than three.
A requisition for supplies for the
members prepared by the sergeant-at-
arms, in accordance with the requests
submitted by the representatives un-
der a house resolution, was blue-pen-
ciled so literally by the speaker that
when the list of supplies was delivered
none of the representatives was able
to recognize what belonged to him.
The speaker of the house is of an
economical turn of mind, and he is ap-
plying the principles of rigid economy
with an attention to detail that is
startling to those who have served
during preceding administrations.
members of the house and none of the
members who want pocket knives to
sharpen their pencils will be supplied
at state expense. If a committee clerk
needs a ruler he will apply for it with
all the formality that a department
chief uses when he calls for big bill
of goods. The speaker will scrutinize
the item and call the clerk on the car
pet for an explanation if it appears he
can get along by using a bill file to
draw his lines.
Members of the house wanted their
supplies when the session began and
they asked that resolution be passed
empowering the sergeant alarms to
procure them. Over on the other side
of the hall, where the senate is in
session. the sergeant -at-arms received
his instructions early and committee
rooms were fitted up and members
equipped with all that aided them in
to new member. The house cnafed
under the distinction and introduced
resolutions remedying their condition.
The Speaker as Censor.
Speaker Megler asked for delay until
the committees were appointed and
resolution after resolution fell by the
wayside- Finally a day or two ago,
the house went at it in earnest and
introduced resolution with peremp-
tory instructions to the sergeant at
arms to buy the desk supplies the
members thought they needed. A
clause was inserted which gave the
speaker authority to supervise the list,
