TAXPAYER PROTESTS.

Editor StateSman:-
| am in hearty accord with your
stand that the retention of deputy
prosecuting attorney at a salary of
$10S000 year is an unnecessary bur
den on the taxpayers. While l have
nothing against the present incumbent.
| believe the county commissioners
should abolish the office in view of the
fact that taxes this year are extremely
high. l am a republican and have vot-
ed the republican ticket for a great
many years but if our commissioners
persist in maintaining an office that
tician a job, I cannot consistently sup
port republican commissioners coming
up for election this fall. and I believe
there are many other republican farm
ers in Walla Walla county who will
take the same stand. What the county
needs is better roads and bridges but
do not see how we will get them so
long as high salaried offices are Great
ed unless the taxpayers are taxed just
that much more l for one believe the
limit of taxation has been reached.
Respectfully,
TAXPAYER.

HEALTH OF WOMAN KIND
A SHORT STORY OF VIAVI.

Or, next Thursday the local Offices
of the Viavi company, which have been
under the management of Mrs. Clara
Davis for the past seven years, will be
moved to a large and newly fitted suite
on the fourth floor of the Ransom
block. the present quarters having be-
come entirely inadequate to the de-
mands of the business and lacking in
convenience. The new furnishings will
be of a very attractive type. Mrs. Davis
the manager, is particularly pround OF
the work she has done and of the large
and pleased clientele she has succeeded
in establishing here, through attending
strictly to her own business and living
up to all the claims she has made for
the treatment she represents. Before
coming here she had been city manager
of the Seattle office of the company
and prior to that time was a. trained
nurse for number of years in large
eastern cities.

FATE WAS DESERVED.

Chester Gillette, who murdered his
sweetheart, Grace Brown, after aban :
doning her to fate worse than death,
paid the penalty of his crime in the
electrical chair at Auburn, New York,
this morning. To the credit of the young
man. he confessed his awful crime to
his spiritual advisor, just before the ia
tai current was turned on. Young Gill
lette deserved the fate that overlook
him. and it was proved by his confess
sion that Governor Hughes adopted a
wise course when he declined to inter
fere in The carrying out Of the death
sentence. despite the fearful pleadings
of the young mans mother and sisters.
1t is only natural that a mother should
seek to save her son from the death
that was melted out to young Gillette,
yet the law demands that murder shall
be punished with death.

WORK SHOULD BE PERMANENT.

The Partial destruction Of the weir
at the point where the Yellow Hawk
DIVORCES from Mill creek, by the high
waters Of two weeks ago, demonstrates
that work of more substantial char
acter Will have to be done if flood
waters of Mill creek are to be controlled
and the future safety of property along
xhe stream is to be guaranteed. Be
tween the county and city good
many thousand dollars have been
spent in trying to secure a proper di-
vision Of the water between Mill creek
and the yellow Hawk. Every year this
work has to be done over and 1t is
proving a heavy drain on the taXpay-
ers. So long as Mill creek flows, just
so long will there be danger of high
water during certain seasons of the
year and any work done to control
these food waters should be of per-
manent character.

MANY ENTERPRISES MAY BE
EXPECTED.

Wana Walla and this section of
Washington will undoubtedly witness
considerable progress in the building of
electric lines and steam railroads this
year. Certain preliminary matters must
precede the completion of any enter
prise, be it the building of electric or
steam roads, packing plants or the in
stallation of vast irrigation projects
in the proposed construction of cleo
tric lines in and around Walla Walla
by at least two companies already in
the field, a large part of the prelim-
mary work has been completed and
before the end of the year we may look
for actual construction work to be
commenced on what eventually will be
a network of electric lines in the Walla
Walla valley. The rumored merging of
the Columbia and Walla Walla Trac-
ton company. which contemplates a
lire from Dayton to the Columbia river
and the Oregon and Washington Trac-
ton company, which plans TO build
from Nalla Walla to the Wallowa
country and through Cmatilla county,
while not officially announced, will
probably be accomplished in order to
facilitate the financing of one company
which ii is proposed is to take over
the interest of the other two traction
companies.
