Ifaiiv iuterestincr topics could bo entertainingly dis -cussed and much light shed on the law and its intorpreta tkm in Oiegon by members of this august body, at sucli ifunction. rWlicn the Oregon Constitution is not a constitution' could be elucidated by Chief Justice Moore. "Why state appropriations for the benefit of a favored raection, sucli as nortneastern uregon, including appropri ations for the Oregon City locks and the portage road, are -constitutional, and why appropriations for expenditures in other portions of the state, sucli as the Crater Lake high way, are unconstitutional," could be explained by Justice 3CcBride. ""Why there are fives members of the supreme court. when the constituucgi says that there shall be but three And why they draw $4o00 each as salary, when the con stitution limits them to $1500" could be discussed by Justice Eakin. "Whv a broad construction of the constitution is nes -essary when our own jobs are concerned, and why impos ible when essential to the welfare and dev elopment of the commonwealth" could be set forth in legal verbiage by Justice Slater. Justice King might explain why he differs from his associates and believes in a square deal, but probably he would not be given the opportunity. The banquet was timely and well deserved. Any court tthat shows such agility in reversing itself deserves honor, But banquets are fleeting and soon over, and four of the five members of this court certainly deserve more en during monuments such as the people will help erect next November. THE ENTIRE STATE INTERESTED. The movement to build the Crater Lake highway is an AU-Uregon movement, but particularly a southern Oregon movement. Medford has taken the initiative, which was to be ex pected, but it is nust as much a highway from Ashland. Jacksonville, Central Point, Gold Hill, Woodville, Grants 'JPass and tlie other towns" of the valley as it is from Med tford, and all are equally interested. The construction of the highway will benefit not only iub uiues vi souuiem Kjregon, duz an ciues in uregon. Xt will result in manythousands of sight-seeing, money lending tourists visiting Oregon, leaving a never-ending ara-eam or revenue. Crater Lake is Oregon s greatest asset. It has been overlooked m the development of the state. Southern Ore tgon is gomg to make it accessible and asks the aid of the arest of Oregon in the movement. THE UNIVERSAL ORACLE AGAIN. -- TMF PAVINR HP f PITV CTUFFTR ... (Good Honds Magazine) Tho paving of tho Btrcots of a oity is n complex question, to which there are several different sides, and each is seen from a different view point. Obviously, it would seem that tho positions of the engineer, tho con traotor and tho publio should bo tho snnio, with the ohiof end in view of securing IhoMuost appropriate pav ing with tho least expenditure of money. That this, howoror, is not always tho case is shown by oxpo rienco. It is, or should be, the province of tho engineer to study tho conditions and traffic of a street from a sci entific standpoint, and designate the properties which a pavement should possess to meet the requirements of usefulness, durability and economy Ho should have a careful census tak en of tho various kinds of traffic and then recommend that pavement which is most suitable It is also his province to sco that such pavement as shall be laid is put down proporly, with duo regard to the traffic and tho pockctbooks of thoso who pay for it. While most contractors desire to fulfill their entire duty and do first class work, that desire sometimos not often fails of achievement be- causo of the incompetence of em ployes, 'or for other reasons beyond their control. It is not rarely that a friction arises between the con tractor and the engineer, tho foster ing of which by some disgruntled portions of the public assists in the defeat of tte ends desired, which is, of course, we best pavement for the least money. The pub lie, in the matter of streot paving, is a most uncertain and var iable factor. The difference be tween the ideas of the unskilled pub lic and the unskilled and uninform ed form the great majority and those of engineers and others who have studied the subject, would, if reduced to dollars and cents, either wasted or saved, pay for paving an enormous mileage of streets. These differences should not exist. The appropriate paving for a street is not a matter for the judgment of the ayman. It is not unusual to find a resi dent of a quiet suburb advocating I and insisting on a granite block pavement for his residence street, becnuse of the fact that suclt'a pave ment gives satisfactory" results in front of his store or factory in tho heavy traffic district: nor. on the! other hand, is it unusual to find one! advocating a pavement in front of his place of business, because to him it is ideal in tho streot where his resi dence is located. It is an established fact, demon strated by tho experience of prob ably every city engineer, that one of the most difficult problems with which he hns to contend is that of inducing the public, through its of ficial representatives, to order such pavements as thd traffic, tho grade and other conditions require. Tins is a matter which should bo govern ed solely by the engineor. Tho pub lic should trust his judgment. In a recent editorial, that universal oracle and cyclope- ua vl appie lore, tne Portland uregoman, laboriously dis cusses the future of the apple in the Willamette valley, and sagely advises the growing of the Ben Davis as the apple of apples for that region. 4 'The Spitzenberg," it states, "does not seem to be well adapted to valley conditions. The trees are of feeble habit and require unremitting attention." Yet the columns of ffm Or'rlfr-i-ni i -n nvn fllln1 ..11.. :.. C O !i 1 ! V . . , v,u.,.itu ttua ui Kjpiu.uuuuisi profe8s&r nnd jrr8.

In discussing the Spitzenberg and Newtown, reference is- made repeatedly to Hood Rjver and' Wenatchec as hav ing solved the apple problem, but never a mention of Rogue River, whose Spitzenbergs wear the title of ".Apple Kings of America," and where Newtowns have for years! topped tho English markets, where fruit has done more to advertise Oregon than that from all other sections com Jbined. No amount of editorial cuddling on the part of the Ore gonian will ever make the Willamette valley famous as an apple section, nor its persistent neglect of the Rogue valley detract from its fame as an apple producer. Each locality must depend in the future as in the present upon Its merits, and the fruit grown in each locality speaks loud 431 than words. .MAP AN WANTS TO GET TREATY WITH US IN JULY TOKIO, March 18. Drafts of new ireatlca which Japan proposes to make with several powers are about fln tohed and will be ready for presenta tion and consideration when the old . ones expire In July. Thoy will differ greatly from existing treaties be because of tho change of conditions 3m. Japan since tho old ones were anade ton years ago.
