For Pan,Amerioan oollere.

Much general interest attaches to
meeting to be held here today by
the commissioner Of the Pan-American
Trades College Council. The organi-
zation was created by a special act Of
the last Texas legislature, and its pur-
pose is to establish somewhere on the
Texas Gulf coast Pan-American
trades college, an institution to be
under the supervision Of an inter-Amer-
lean board II is to be government
institution in which the United States
and all other American republics shall
be interested. II is proposed to make
it an institution where the languages,
customs, habits and needs of the va
rious peoples of the American conti-
nents are taught and also where every
available kind Of manufactured arti-
Gle is to be kept on exhibition. The
general aim is to promote friendship
and better understanding between the
United States and its neighbors to the
south, and to divert the trade Of the
southern republics from England, Ger
many and other European countries to
this country.

Crickets Invade idaho.

The Oregon Short Line ran an excur.
sion from points in Bingham and low
er Fremont counties to st. Anthony
Thursday TO enable people in the sec
tions named TO see the criekets they
have heard 50 much about, says the
Capital City News.
A large crowd went up from Rigby,
and they were astonished at what they
say. 1t is reported on good authority
that about $50 bushels Of these pests
are destroyed every day, and still they
come A novel method has been put in
operation TO compass their destruction.
just north Of San Anthony a large
, canal about 80 feet wide runs from the
north fork Of the Snake river westward
toward the Eagan bench. The crickets
come to this stream and attempt to
cross, and are carried down the swift
current.
In several places along the canal
boards faced with tin bent over at the
top are put in the stream, forcing ev.
erything on the surface Of the water to
pass through an opening a few feet
wide.
AT the mouth Of the funnel-shaped
arrangement two wooden rollers are
placed, which are turned by means of
paddle wheels in the water, and the
crickets are thus crushed by the mil
lions. II seems impossible to drown
them, hence this crushing process. In
some sections they are being checked,
but in others they seem to be increas-
ing.

The county has shared the expense
Of building the broken rock roads in

Doubtless the street committee has

shs south salem street Improvement.

5,he Bouth Salem Street Improvement.
Some Of the property owners along
south Commercial street have made a
very reasonable request that the city
gay half the expense of the improve
nent of that street.
The street is an old county road,
aoading into the thickly settled parts
OF Marion county toward Liberty,
Rosedale, Sidney, sunnyside and JEFF
aersOn.
The country has built miles of good
broken rock streets on south Of the city
limits, and there is great need that the
city improve the street, as the traihc
IL heaviest of any street leading into
the city.
OF course, under the charter, It is
.aoubtful II the city can attempt TO pay
half tho cost Of that street improve
ment. Nevertheless the principal is
.sonnd one The city pays taxes toward
building the county roads.
Strictly speaking both the city, the
county. the state and the abutting
property owners should pay share OF
auch an improvement. All are bene'
fitted, and all should contribute.
But whether il can be done under
this charter is the question: The
city should at least pay for the inter

evidence that illiteracy IL steadily be-
