Death Of u Pioneer of 1862.

\ telegram from Pocatello Idaho,
yesterday announced the death of
Royal A. Pierce in that city of pneu-
monia.
Royal A. Pierce was one of the
first settlers In Powder river valley.
He arrived here with his wife and
children, two sons, Augustus and
Abel, in the year 1862, having cross
ed the plains. His first camp was
made near the Baldock placers north
of the city. After inspecting the lay
of the country he came to the conclu-
sion that where the present site OF
Baker City now is would be the
place for a city If ever one was to
be founded in this part of the coun-
try. Accordingly he moved his fam
lily from their camp to this point and
together with the late DR.. j. NJ
Boyd, who died recently at Walla
Walla, located what is known as the
Pierce & Boyd townsite of Baker
City.-that part of the city west OF
Front street and extending from
Campbell street to about Auburn
avenue. A lawyer by profession,
Pierce lived and opened an office on

Tie Convict Labor Problem.
lassaaassase ssssas

The notion that convicts are to be
sent to this city to do work on the
fairgrounds which would be done by
local workers if the men from the
prison were not available is a mistake
Ell one. Tho convicts will be used to
improve the fair grounds in a way
that would not be undertaken If the
labor had to be paid for. The work
Of the cunvicts will not cost the fair
commission anything at all. 1t has
no money to ray anybody for the
work on which they will be put, and
If they do not come the work will
not be done. The commission has
available $4,000 which can be used
for new buildings. 1t is not proposed
to put the prisoners on that work.
The opinion of the Republic is
and always has heen that convict la
hor cannot be employed to advantage
outside the prison walls; but at the
present time the state is keeping a
great many men at Walla Walla
practically in idleness. Considerations
Of humanity require that they be Civ
en- something to do, and If a few of
them can fix up and beautfy the
fair grounds while they are waiting
for the new machinery at the pen,
we see no reason why .they should
not be put to work. If there was any
proposition on hand to put convicts
in here 10 do work which belonged
to local workers, and thus take away
from them chance to earn the mon
ey they need for the support of their
families, the Republic would oppose
it as vigorously as anybody.-Yaki-

Sheep Must BE Dipped.

Forest Supervisor Schmitz of the
Wenaha reserve, is mailing circulars
to rangers in different parts of the
Wenaha range mstructing them not
to allow sheep to enter without first
being dipped.
Washington sheep, whose winter
range is in Walla Walla, Columbia,
Garfield or Asotin counties, and
whose summer range is within the
state, will probably be allowed to
enter the national forest without
dipping undess, upon inspection,
scab should be found to exist in those
counties.
All sheep north of the Snake river
are considered as exposed and must
he dipped before, or Immediately af-
ter, crossing the river, else they will
not be allowed to enter the Wenaha
national forest reserve.
All dipping must be done under the
supervision of the bureau of animal
ndustry.--Daytcn Courier-PreSs.

sPOKANE's STRONG CASE.

II the transcontinental railroads are
to haul anything at all except time
freight to the Pacific coast, they must
meet the competition of ocean vessels
that circumnavigate South America
with freight from the Atlantic coast
That is the theory upon which the rail-
roads have been shipping freight
through Spokane and some hundreds
of miles beyond to Pacific coast ports
at less than they charge for the same
freight IL it stopped at Spokane, saw
ing the extra hundreds Of miles of
hauling. Freight hauled at these low
rates might not make profit, 1t is
urged but 1t helps to keep the line en-
ployed and to pay fixed charges such
as interest and cost Of maintenance
Now IL 1t should appear that the roads
are making excessive profits while
charging the coast cities the competi-
tive rate and looking to the helpless
interior cities for their profits, the re-
duction of rates that should follow
would logically be made in behalf of
cities like Spokane that have contrib
uted these excessive profits. So far as
the Spokane hearing has gone, the rep
resentations of that city seem to have
fairly fioored the representatives of the
coast cities and Of the railroads with
that proposition. The theory Of water
competition, which was at one time
upheld by the commission, is not ques-
toned at all. 1t Is merely shown that
the roads are now making enough
profits to put the interior upon the
basis established for coast towns in
view of water competition. The attor-
neys Of the coast cities had to take
lightning leap. They suddenly decided
that there are other reasons than water
competition why the coast cities should
be favored in freight rates. and they
ask that the hearing be delayed few
months, presumably to give them time
to find out what these reasons are.
