day morning. Mr.. barrow is accom-

The attorneys are evidently here
for the purpose of making some move
in a legal way for the benefit of their
clients, but what their plans may be
is not being made public. The attor-

in the Ada county Jail yesterday and
one of them expressed himself as
pleased with the condition of the three
men who are confined there awaiting
trial. They all appear to be well and
in as good spirits as could be expected
under the circumstances.
Mr. barrow said that he would be
in Boise but a few days at present.
He will go north with his wife but is
interested in irrigation matters and
will try to be here during the irriga-

The disparaging position taken by

Hessian fly is hardly to the point. For

been present in the vicinity of Port

A short time after its discovery there
it was noted in Clarke County, WASH

lies in the importation of infested
wheat, hay or straw. Much of this
material is brought to Clarke County
to supply the government barracks at
Vancouver, and an important source
of the supply has been the infested
district of Oregon. OF course it is not

AS far as known the Hessian fly

because of its presence at the gateway

that the various government forts OF

Letter From CordIey.
In connection with its introduction
and spread in the vicinity of Portland,
1 may give a recent letter received
from Professor A. B. Cordley, the ento-
mologist of the Oregon Experiment
station. my attention was first called
to the presence of the Hessian fly
in this state in December, 1897, when
it was found badly infesting a field at
Scappoose, Oregon. About the same
time received reports of its work in
Clarke county, Washington, and within
the next year or so other reports from
as far up the Willamette Valley as
Forest Grove and WOODBURY. indicating
that it was introduced in the vicinity
of Portland several years before il
was first discovered. 1t has now
spread up the Willamette Valley as far
as Salem on the East side and at least
as far as McMinnville on the Yves,
side of the river"

Criticism of Jerome.

Some of the newspaper have said that District Attorney Jerome has unneces- sarily delayed prosecution In the 1nsur- arce cases by refusing to use the ordi- nary processes of law This criticism was based on the fact that MT. Jerome ignored the grand juries that meet from month to month and applied for and got a special grand jury to consider the in- surance cases alone. He explained, when he made the application that the regular grand iuries are confronted with null titude of other duties which rendered impossible the time and care demanded by the importance of the insurance cases. This has not been denied even by MT. Jerome's critics.
 The district attorney has also been criti- cised for delaying an indictment of George W. Perkins for grand larceny in connection with a republican campaign contribution made by the New York Life. He insisted that the question whether or not political contributions from insur- aEce funds constituted grand larceny ought to be passed upon by the higher courts before any indictments were found. The judges have insisted that the grand juries should continue the investi- gatlon but none of them has been able to tell the juries positively whether or not men who gave insurance money to campaign funds were guilty of larceny.
 Mir. Jerome declared that there was a doubt as to whether larceny had been committed in such cases and this cannot be questioned. To prove larceny felonious intent must be shown and how hard 1t Is to show felonious intent is being demon- strated as the Perkins case progresses.
 The district attorney took the position that until this point was settled by the highest courts it would be cruel and un- just for him to drag every prominent man in the community into court on in- dictments for grand larceny Had he needed the wave of public indignation he would have arrested Cornelius N. Bliss, George B. Cortelyou and scores of others without knowing what he was about. In not being swept off his feet he has car ried out his view of a prosecuting of ficer as being one whose duty 1t is not only to convict the guilty but to protect at any cost those who are innocent in law. He has told the newspapers in actions. if not in words, that district attorney should be more of a judicial officer than a bloodhound.
