Governor and Council will be held to-
morrow, Tu esday. Aug. 10. commencing
at 10 o'clock in the forenoon. and like
the usual summer sessions of that body
it is understood that the meeting will
not be long one. Among the matters
which will be considered by the Coun-
Gil are the Conroy and Burr pardon
cases which were laid on the table at
the last meeting, both of which will
probably be disposed of, and 1t is also
expected that hearing will be assign
ed for the September meeting on the
petition for the pardon of Oscar Wat
son of Biddeford, who is serving four
year sentence in the State prison at
Thomaston on a charge of breaking.

the business of the session will prob
ably be of q routine nature.
Adjutant General A. B. Farnham,
who had been to Portland for the pur-
pose of looking over the National
Guard in the positions to which 1t had
been assigned for the war maneuVerS,
was at his Office in the Capltol Satur-
day During the visit he was for por-
ton of the time the guest of Col. Nor
ris, commander of the Portland artil-
lery district and was shown many cOur-
tesies by that officer. He also visited
the various forts and saw the detach-
ments of the Guard which had been
assigned to each putting up their tents
and getting ready for the ten days Of
camp life with the men of the regular
army. The indications are that the
present tour of duty will be very
instructive and successful one.

The SUNDAY SALOON.

The American members Of the city
council have held caucus and decided
TO sustain Chief of Police Sheets policy
of closing the saloons on Sunday. If
this means that Sheets will be permit
ted TO use the machinery of the police
department for the purpose Of punish
ing saloon men who failed or refused TO
contribute to the American campaign
fund, neither the council nor Sheets is
entitled to any credit for enforcing the
law. If, however, it is the purpose of
the chief and the council to keep all
the saloons closed on Sunday they will
have the backing of all good citizens
Saloonkeepers, curiously enough.
have come to look upon themselves as
martyrs when they are required to close
their places OF business on the Sabbath
day. Yet the law distinctly and spe-
cihcally says that saloons must not do
business on Sunday. 1t Is Just as much
against the law to sell intoxicants on
the first day of the week as it is to
commit the crime Of grand larceny.
though. OF course, there is a difference
in the degree of offending. The Herald
as well as other citizens, have no right
whatever to break the law.
They should be required to keep their
places closed on Sunday. But if one is
closed, all should be closed, and kept
closed. Chief of Police Sheets must
not be permitted to pick and choose
among the keepers of saloons. He must
not say to one man: You must not sell
whisky on Sunday" and TO another
man: IF you sell whisky quietly on
Sunday it will be all right" The law
recognizes no distinction. and it is not
the province of the chief of police to
recognize any.
This has always. been Sheets tend
ency. He is a politician before he is a
police officer. His great aim and object
since he was given charge of the de-
partment has been to build up a ma
chine .fpf-the party to which he pro-
fesses allegiance. If by manipulation
Of the sunday saloon question he can
strengthen and tighten his political
machine he will not hesitate TO do so.
AT least that is Chief Sheets history.
There are in the council some first
class citizens, some men who. in our
opinion, believe in enforcing the law
We look to them to see to it that
Sheets walks the straight and narrow
way in this particular matter And if
they care for their own regulations
they viii see to it,

pay OF POSTAL CLERKS.

The first assistant postmaster gener-
al. Mr.. Hitchcock, is much troubled
over the difficulty of securing and keep
ing good men to serve as postal clerks.
But in connection with the statistics he
had prepared on the subject. Mr. Hitch
cock points out the root Of the trouble.
The clerks do not receive salaries COM
mensurate with the duties they are
called upon to perform. If they were
paid more money there would be no diff
ficulty about getting and keeping them.
AS it is, they are resigning at an aver
age rate of 1913 per cent per annum.
In October the designations were at the
rate of EOS per cent.
An ordinary day laborer. in many
sections of the country, can earn more
money than a postal clerk. and the lat
ter in addition to performing trying
toll, is often charged with heavy re-
sponsibility which the laborer escapes.
Twenty thousand clerks received from
5000 to 81 coo per year in 1906 In view
OF the heavy increase in the cost of liv-
ing, this is not enough, supposing the
average to be $780, to keep the clerks.
especially those with families, in COM
fort. They certainly earn more money.
or they are not worth retaining in the
service.
Congress would do an act OF simple
justice If it raised the pay Of the postal
clerks, so that the good men would not
be eternally looking for something bet
ter. The numerous designations are
bound TO have the effect Of seriously
impairing the service, and this is a
matter in which the general public is
interested. When ten men out of a
hundred resign every year, making it
necessary to break in ten new men,
efficiency of any standard-and the
government standard should be highs
strained to the breaking point.
The assistant postmaster general
increase. His proposal is for the es-
adjustment of six classes, with six
grades of pay. He would start Begin
ners at $500 a year, advance them to
$500 the second year. to $500 the third
year and to $1,000 the fourth year, in
first-class postoffices. There would also
be in first-cIass offices grades of s1,1OO
and $1,000 a year, but these places
would be left open to be filled on a
purely merit basis.
In second-class offices the pay would
be advanced each year until the 5000
mark was reached, leaving the 81 900
and S1,1O0 places for meritorious work.
ers. Assuredly the figures proposed are
not exorbitant. They are If anything,
too small. The present salary schedule
was fixed years ago at a time when the
cost of living was low. And when II
was fixed $500 would go farther than
81 900 will GO today. The clerks are en-
titled TO more money.

WORK ON THE TETON.
Yakima County Irrigation Project
Nears Completion.

The Yakima Republic says of the
progress on the Tieton irrigation pro-
ject in Yakima county:
Engineer Doolittle reports excellent
progress on the work in its entirety.
Difficult and expensive engineering
feats are encountered, of course, but
they are being speedily overcome and
the work is being advanced as rap
idly as was originally expected it
could be.
The elevation of the lower course
of the canal will add very consider
ably to the $4,000 acres originally
included in the survey. For this
work s1,250,000 has been appropriat-
ed.
The topographic surveys were be-
gun in March of last year and have
been completed to cover the 81
square miles it was at first intended
to corprise. For IL miles the main
canal has been excavated along the
steep sides Of the wonderful Tieton
canyon. More than two miles of tun-
mel will be required and practically
all of the open canal will have to be
concrete-lined.
The land Of the Tieton project is
rolling, rendering a distributory sys-
TEN expensive. Water rights under
the government ditch will cost about
$55 per acre.
This is not regarded as excessive
by the land owners, as the irrigable
area is directly tributary to North
Yakima, a portion of 1t lying within
five miles of the center of the city.
These lands are especially adapted to
raising fruits of superior quality.
They are attracting much attention
among buyers at this time.

New Law Makes More voting Places.


Ten or IL voting precincts will be
added to the number in Multnomah
county by the changes made neces-
sary by the fact that 21 precincts con-
tain more than the 900 voters allow
ed by law, says the oregon Daily
Journal.
While nothing definite has been
done further than to make a personal
inspection of the precincts involved
County Commissioners Litghner and
Barnes and County Clerk Fields are
gathering information that will aid
them in running the new lines. The
present number of precincts in the
county is 80. In the opinion of the
county clerk this number will be in
creased to not less than 100, and
probably more. In the city the task
of selecting the new boundaries is
somewhat complicated. In some
cases it may be possible to combine
precincts and parts of precincts in
such a way as not to increase the
number, but in more congested places
the only remedy is the creating of new
voting places.
