PROGRESS OF THE CAPITAL JOURNAL.
WORK on The Capital Journal's new building is progressing
very satisfactorily, and the improvements there will
have been practically completed by the time the new
press arrives from the east, about March 15. There is
every reason to believe that the . paper will be housed in its new
location and equipped with a complete modern plant by the end
of the present month. Then we shall be in a position to print a
paper better in every respect, with more telegraphic and local
news, and those special features that tend to make the modern
newspaper indispensible in every household.
We are going to try to make The Capital Journal a newspa
per second to none in Oregon, and worthy of the capital city of
a great state. And, while we are building up the news depart
ment, we shall not forget our du ty to the people of Salem and the
state at large. The Capital Jou rnal will be the organ of no par
ty or faction, but will have always in mind the best interests of
the great majority of the people, because it is to them that the
real newspaper must turn for its support and their welfare and
prosperity are closely entwined with its own business success
The Capital Journal, with its new plant, in its new location,
will owe no man a dollar. It will be independent financially, and
will not be under the necessity of asking favors, which must be
repaid in editorial support. It will be independent in every
sense of the word.
STATE FISH AND GAME GRAFT.
THE attempt to reorganize the state fish and game commis
sion and put it on a business basis is, as usual, attacked
by the Portland Oregonian. It professes to see a politic
al deal in the dismissal of 37 game wardens, pending the
more complete organization of the board, when, in fact, this
was one of the necessary steps t oward getting a start in the
right direction.
It is the evident intention of the new state commission to ap
ply economical business ideas to the management of the fish and
game department. The members will, however, find themselves
opposed at every step by at least two of the Portland papers, and
it will require a stiff backbone on their part to persevere in the
work of reform. The Oregonia n and Telegram howl constantly
for economy in state affairs, but always oppose every attempt to
clean out the grafters and tax-eaters who are clinging to the
payrolls with a tenacity possessed only by chronic place holders.
The present commisison may accomplish something in this
direction, but what is needed most is a law requiring all the rev
enues from fish and game licenses turned into the general fund
of the state. Then a specific appropriation could be mndo for
the expenses of the fish and game department, which should
not exceed $75,000 for the bien nial term.
If this were done there would be a net income to the state of
nearly $100,000 a year. As it has been in the past the game
warden has made a valiant attempt to spend the entire income
of the department and has practicnlly succeeded in doing so.
Last year $137,000 was expended by the commission, a largo
part of it being squandered in useless officials and employes.
The next legislature has a duty to the people to perform in this
matter, and it is to be hoped that the members will have the busi
ness sense and integrity to do it.
P.y the way, is the Oregonian a "mossback" on account of its
opposition to the meter system? It should bring David Swing
Ricker back from the wilds of Jackson county to write a series
of articles calling its attention to the beauties of fine new water
meters, and get a few pictures of the waste under the old system
and thus get in the van for new things. It only costs $500,000
and that is $350,000 less than the road bonds it wants this county
to assume. Why not bond for water meters for twenty years,
and thus spread the expense over a long period and make the tax
less than the 'steonth part of a cent on the $1,000. It would on
ly cost a triflo and the satisfaction of avoiding being called
"mossbacks," and having a trump hobo newspaper reporter sent
to take photographs of the water running to waste and all that
would more than compensate for the additional expense.

while the attorney wants $7500. From this it will be seen there
is a wide difference of opinion among attorneys themselves as to
fees. The property is valued at about $200,000, and the fee, in
stead of being based on the amount of work required on the law-
year's part, is estimated entirely by the value of the property.
How much work it requires does not enter into the question.
What are "reasonable attorney's fees?" We suppose the cor
rect answer Is: "There ain't no such thing." In Portland just
now there Is a dispute as to the amount a lawyer should be al
lowed for bringing foreclosure proceeding for the county against
D. M. Lombard on the old county poor farm. Several leading
attorneys testified that $1200 to $3000 would be a reasonable fee,
There is an old poem that says: "Coming events cast , their
shadows before," but in the case of the latest fashions in dress
feminine the coming events seem inclined to cast their swelling
shadows behind. "The old porous bustle, the iron ribbed bus
tle, the moth-eaten bustle that h ung on so well," is to be resur
rected from the hidden recesses of the past or wherever it has
been for some years, and will again be a hollow mockery, causing
a sinusoidal line, where there was only a straight one before.
This is where Dame Fashion becomes retrospective.
Portland's commission has decided to put in the meter system
on its water plant. Mayor Albee and Commisioner Dieck voted
against it and Commissioners Daly, Brewster and Bigelow for it.
There is a wide divergence of opinion as to the movement, the
opposition being very bitter, and backed by the Oregonian, and
there is already serious talk of the referendum, and on top of
this the recall movement is liable to gain strength. The meter
system will cost above a half million dollars.
Professor D. D. Hetzel is a great men. There can be no doubt
about it, for the professor himself unblushingly admits it. Not
only does he admit it, but claims to have reached the pinnacle of
greatness on a special hog train. However there is but little dif
ference between the hog train and the political train on which so
many ride to fancied greatness, only in the case of the professor
he is not one of the hogs.

r
In their comment on the decision of the commission to install
meters on the water system in Portland the two big papers take
exactly opposite views of the matter, and yet they are expressed
in the same letters, eliminating one, and slightly transposing
them. The Oregon Journal says the decision is to be highly
"commended" and the Oregonian says it is to be utterly -"con
demned.'
The governor ha8 appointed B. E. Duncan a member of the
Fish and Game commisison in place of C. H. Evans who was
made game warden in place of F inlay. It is a good appointment
but unfortunately for him, Mr.' Duncan did not get in until the
pie was cut and passed. The birds of this state do surely cause
lots of worry and some expense.

the slato school sueprintoiulent, J, A.
Churchill, pertaining to the possibility
of evading the .eighth grade examina

excerpt from the ruling in question,
and not the full ruling; and that all
may understand it, ns it is intended
to apply it is, briefly stated, as follows:
lletinnig with the fourth and con
tinuing through every grade, the pupil
must attend ISO days each year, or
average that with good lessons and ex
cellent deportment and get the teacher
to sanction the exemption. Note that
the pupil must make an average of 150
days' attendance during the fourth,
fifth, sixth aud seventh year, with a
deportment of SI per cent. This ex

inclusive, with a deportment of 83 pr
cent, then ho or she is exempt from
tho examination in the eighth grade on
all branches upon which he or sho has
tho per cents named, with a total at
tendance of 730 days.
To the pupil who has been in attend
ance in the city schools where there j
have been full nine-months terms, and ;
hns had good health, it will be easy
to establish the required record but to I
such as have resided in districts
where tho terms have been of only
six months' duration, then it will be
impossible.
To get tho record will be nnother
source of trouble and in many cases
it will not bo possible to overcome the
lack of records.
The motive for the ruling is an ex
cellent one, and will ultimately work a
blessing to tho student. But many will
fail to get tho evidence to exempt them
this year, who deserve the exemption.

ami sons Dalton and Glenn, have gone

tho city to cover the present warrant
indebtedness, and to get some ready
ash to make the needed improvements.

the near future.
