INSPECTION OF SEEDS.

At the next session of the legislature
if is said. an effort will be mace u
secure the enactment of law to reg
ulate the sale of seeds in this state
and from all indications the measure
will be highly popular with the Iarlh-
ers of the state.
At present, the buyer of seeds mas
absolutely no protection or any assur-
ance that the seed is fresh. The stoch
left over from one season can be Oh
fered for sale at the next without legal
bindrance. A seed inspection law has
been passed in some states with the re-
suit that the increase in productivity
of the soil was marked.
It is argued that seed Inspector
could be carried on in this state WITH
practically no cost as professors at the
agricultural college at Pullman coult
do the work in their laboratories Wlth
but little assistance.

CITY ATTORNEY
GETS NO RAISE
GAINS SALARY FAILS IN
COUNCIL.

Hot weather made the councilmen
last night show a decided tendency to
get through with business, although
they stuck to it manfully until the last
bit was disposed of and they could
go home with clear consciences. Even
then they stayed and met as a board
of equalization, but as there was moth
ing to do they again adjourned
Routine business, monthly and semi
annual reports and an ordinance or two
passed away the time. No one was dis
posed to be combative and the session
be completed.
An ordinance was introduced raising
the salaries of the city treasurer and
the city attorney $25 per month All
agreed on the city treasurer's raise
but Councilman Bachtold thought the
attorney is getting enough. Mr.. Dun
ham thought different and so secretive
were the other members about the
matter that it was found necessary to
take a secret ballot. BY four to two the
attorney lost his raise. The ordinance
granting the treasurer his increase was
passed.
The old Wingard matter in the rebate
on account of the opening of First
street was brought to light again and
the city attorneys advice gave little
