SENTENCE POSTPONED.
Abraham Ruef is Granted Delay of
a Week to Give His Counsel
Time.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. ~
Abraham Ruef, convicted Thursday
of Offering a bride, was today grant
ed a delay of one week before re-
ceiving sentence. The continuance
until next Saturday was with the as
sent of the district attorneys Of
flee, represented by Assistant John
O'Gara. Thomas b. Dozier, of the
defense, based his motion on the
ground that sufficient time had not
been given the defense to prepare
motions and argument in arrest of
judgment and for a new trial. The
inability of Henry Ach, Ruef's chief
counsel, to appear in court, was as
signed as further reason.
While it was generally known that
judgment would not be pronounced
today, there was a large crowd in
attendance.
Ruef was closely guarded. Judge
Lawlor ordered Ruef to stand up for
arraignment. With his hands, in his
pockets, and with his gaze direc1.-l
alternately toward the judge and the
crowd behind his seat, Ruef remain
ed on his feet almost a quarter of an
hour, during which time Judge Law
lor read into the record the legal
history of every one Of the $50 days
consumed in the trial
Ruef, whose conviction has made
little change in his outward appear
ance, chatted freely with friends and
newspaper men. He spoke with bit
ter sarcasm of some of the articles
published in local newspapers, and
charged that the visit of Prosecu-
tor Francis ]. Heney to the court
room a few moments before he was
adjudged guilty was arranged "for
dramatic effect"

Is Making Extensive improvements
in Preparing for His Street
Contracts Asphalt Plant
Possible.

Contractor Andrew Peterson has
meant business. Every moment of
fine weather is utilized, and some of
the weather that is not so fine. AL
ready he has quite a distance of
Grant street, from Arthur towards
East First filled and made
ready to lay the ties and rails, so
as to run his two 12-ton locomotives
from his newly acquired purchase
from Mrs Jas. Stewart, where he will
obtain the filling for his street con-
tracts. 1t is Mr.. Petersons inten-
ton to grade his realty holdings, and
use the surplus earth for street fill
ing. The quality of the hill soil is
very soft sandstone which is east
ly crushed, which makes an excellent
foundation on which to pave with
either brick or asphalt. Knowing
work to be done in this city, he con-
templates erecting an asphalt plant.
If he is at all assured that class of
pavement is likely to become popular
here. 1t is also more than probable
that a small sawmill may be started
on his property, which is expected
to do something more than manu-
facture lumber. If the weather does
not become too boisterous, it will
only be a few weeks before Mr.. Pet
erson will be running his dump-carts
between Highland Home and Heron
street.

Why at This Time7

According to the World, the new
ly elected county officers are agitat-
ing out raising the ranks of Chehalis
county from the thirteenth to the
seventh class-which would give
those officers a material increase OF
salary. To those officials elect this
may seem a nice proposition, but
how about the big majority who pay
those salaries?
The only valid reason that can be
given for increasing the salary of a
public official is that the increased
compensation may induce superior
men to seek the positions, and this
reason cannot be given now. as
those officers are already chosen, and
they diligently sought the places at
salaries of a thirteenth class county.
Before the elections of 1910. the fed
eral census will have been taken,
and the population of the county de-
finitely determined, whereas now it
Is guess.
The attempt to increase the sal
aries after election might prove OF
doubtful legality. anyhow. Section
rs, Article 2, of the state consti-
tuition distinctly prohibits the alter
alton of the compensation of any
public officer during Ibis term Of Of
fee" OF course, it would be a ques-
ton for the courts to decide what
'his term of office" meant. If con-
strued to mean that for which he
was elected. it is too late now to
change, while if held that a change
could be made at any time after
election and prior to taking office,
the present elects might be permitted
the rake-off, if the county commits
sioners are sufficiently complaisant.

Piping the River.

placing of another water man acroSS
the Chehalis river will prove an ex-
nansive mistake, or, at least, the pro-
iect is being pushed without sufficient
data to Justify the cost.
The purpose of this main-costing
from IS 900 to $40, OOO-is to pump the
spare water from the south 10 the
north side in times of shortage But,
does anybody know how long there
will be any spare water on the south
side? Has the flow Of Charley creek
peen measured at its lowest timer
Present indications are that South

velopment and growth, 80 that Win

REQUIRE all the water Charley creek
can supply, so that the main across
the river can be only regarded as a
temporary makeshift, and all VIII
agree that the city has had all ina.
sort of work on the water system IL
should stand for.
The council is now planning for a
storage reservoir on the north side,
work upon which should be rushed so
as to be available next summer.
Would it not be good business to
take the cost Of the river main and
add it to the sum estimated for the
reservoir and increase the capacity of
the latter accordingly? Then the ex-
penditure would be permanent. Dur
ing ten months in the year there is
ample supply of water everywhere,
and the help from Charley creek can
only be computed at the dryest period.
Should the authorities be deter
mined to put this main across the
river, the work should, by all means,
be done under contract, with rigid
specifications, and a clause withhold
ing good part of the payment until
the pipe was proved properly laid and
tight. In this way, the total cost OF
the job will be known in advance,
and, if the proper contract is made,
the city will not be stung, as it was
on the laying of the present useless
pipe.
