TnrKsiuY,. .Jan. 22, 1903 Judge Hewitt, of Albany, la mentioned as a strong candidate from the first district for congress to till the vacancy caused by the death oi Thos. II. Tongue. The Oregoniau is offering some very strong arguments in favor of the Lewis and Clark fair appria tion. The paper says: "The great sum asked for the Exposition ought not to be wasted. It is a pudlic fund, and is taken from the people to assist in a great forward movement, calculated to benefit the Pacific Coast, the great North west andthis great commonwealth in particular." The Lewis and Clark fair will undoubtedly be of great benefit to Oregon, if it is a success, and to be a success there must be a liberal appropriation. Of course it will be the privilege, if not the duty, of the Democrats of the First Oregon District to nominate a candidate for Congress to be voted for at the special elec tion necessary to be held, but he has but the slghtest imaginable chance of election. Mr. Weather ford probably made as good a run last June as any Democrat could do now or any time this year, and he was several thousand votes "ehy." But if any Democrat can be induced to stand for the empty honor of being pointed out as one who "also ran," nobody can raise any well-grounded objection. The only question as to who will bo the next Representative, however, is: Whom will the Republicans nominate? Telegram. IRRIGATION IN INDIA. A great amount of irrigation work has been done in India during the last 40 years, the Indian Government having in that time spent $100,000,000 on irrigation works, and as much in building railroads. Of the latter there are now about 25,000 miles, and they traverse the arid plains as well as the liver valleys; and the irriga tion canals water 14.000,000 acres of land classed as arid before their construction. That this work has been profitable is shown by an Indian commercial report just published, which states that the products of the irrigated lands last year exceeded in value $100,000,- 000. or the total cost of the irrigat inn wftrkS. Th railroads have " - xToirmprl interior districts and T helped to buiid up large cities, and these two agencies have gone far to prevent the recurrence of wide spread famine. In 1857, before the improve ments were made, the commerce of India was 872,000,000 in imports and $128,000,000 in exports, while last year the imports amounted to $204,000,000 and the exports to $392,000,000, making India com mercially the sixth country in the world. What has thus been ac complished in India may be an encouragement and serve as a use ful lesson to Americans in the con templated work of irrigating the arid lands of our Western states and territories. Ex. FOR THREE STATES. fight ot his life. Ho ban asked Congress for laws restrictive of the trusts. In so doing he has in curred the enmity of Wall street and the great industrial and rail road combinations. These have served notice on their servants in Congress that there must be no trust legislation that means any thing. The Republican leaders are disposed to fall in with the de maud of the trusts and humiliate the President, as he was humiliated on the subject of Cuban reciprocity. Here is a chane1 for Oregon, Washington and Idaho to hold up the President's hands. Iu each of these three states the Legislature is in session, with Republicans in control. Let the Legislature each of them pass a joint memorial to Congress, urging the enactment ot trust legislation at this session and cilliug upon its own Senators and Representatives in CoDgresa to farther such legislation by all means iu their power. Mention the President and refer to the recommendations of his message. It will strengthen his courage and hold up his hands. It may induce Congress to act, and therby re move a peril from the campaign ot .904. Oregon expects a visit from President Roosevelt in May. What more graceful thing than now to et him know that we are with him in his struggle for redemption of his promise? Washington is committed by the platforms of its parties to support he anti-monopoly programme ot the President and Governor Mc- Bride. How better can its sin cerity be shown than by a joint memorial to Congress? Idaho has just elected a Senator who stands with the President and Attorney-General Knox in their trust programme. Why not follow that up right now with a ringing word ot approval for the Piesi- dent's position? There is a man in the W lute House whose rugged vigor ot thought and action, on the trusts as on everything else, has inspired the confidence and trust of the people as no President has been able to do since Abraham Lincoln There is a battle ahead of us, with the people on one side and these Great corporations on the other In this battle Theodore lioosevelt has cast his lot unhesitatingly on the side of the people. But Con cress hesitates. Congress should hear from the people. It will be disheartening if this first skirmish of the campaign is lost because Congress is in doubt as to what the people want; and especially as to n,Kar. thA Wpfit wants, fehall we not speak out in unmistakable terms? Is there 'a single man in any of these three Legislatures whf does not feel anxious to como to the President's aid at this critical time. Let us have a joint memorial from all three Legislatures, and let it be passed unanimously ! Ore-gonian.
