THE SUPREME COURT BANQUETTED.
The Portland bar lias baiiquettcd the justices of the

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.

(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.

adapted to valley conditions. The trees are of feeble habit
and require unremitting attention." Yet the columns of

In discussing the Spitzenberg and Newtown, reference

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.
