HITCHCOCK'S LATEST VAGARY. Late dispatches indicato that Secre tary Hitchcock hae mado ,such. rulings touching entries and flnal proofs under tho timber and etono act that it will h" practically impossible for a man to buy plcce of timber laud of the govern- ''.aieut'UalesYho is ready to swear that ,i . 'i ' Jbe will use all the timber for firewood i I hisown love-r w.ll out it. Tiiuecntary'a ostensible object la to Mop dummy entrluei, hut lie appoarn to he carried away by hla own momentum, and la do'cating the purpoto of tho net by carrying hla nntempcrcd aoal to ex tremes. The purpofn ol tho timber and stono act, as generally understood, ia ',to rIvi tho individual cltlsen a chnncts to buy of tho government, (or liia own benefit, 160 acres ot land not aultnblo (or home atead entry. Thero ia uo ronton why this privilege should bo eontlned to those only who are ablo to invest the jam necessary (or tho eolo benefit ol their hoira. Tho ordinary citiaon, baa no way 0! using in b's business- the timber on 100 acrea of land. It ha buy; tho land (rom the government it ia (or the purpose ol celling it again and making a littlo mono on hia investment. That la hia only posslblo object In buying It let secretary uucuccck wouiu can wjui. "speculation" and refuso to mako tLo deal. It seems that the only man who could : buy n quarter tection under tho new rules would be a mau with a sawmill . who intended to cut tho timber into; lumber In his own mill. As a comparatively small 'number of ' ...... i lift are wie owners ci Bawninis, mis P"tc'.yaQf sjflcapf Jt mm 0 1W tlcslly puts on end to all saloa under the act. Mr. Hitchcock professes to be trying to keep tho syndicates (rom gobbling up the land, yet the effect of hia policy is to' top the operation of the only law under t which any ono elso can get it, and to pre-! e:ve the land for tho lieu land specula tors untilsuch time aa his forest reservo program can furnish bate for them to operate with. 1ho statesman wno would evolve some sane and boncat land policy, not subject to fraud, and get tljo govern ment to adopt it would be a public ben efactor. WILLIS AND THE ATTORNEY GENERAL R. Willis, of Roseburg, is still camping on A. M. Crawford's trail, and has preferred charges with tho state bar association azainst tho attorney general and will attempt to have him disbarred. The Portland Journal makes a red scare bead out of this, and gives a gar bled account of the former relations of Crawford and Willis. It eays: 'Some years ago A, II. Crawfoid wont to Rocelurg and waa admitted to Judge Willis' office. When be came bo waa a stranger, without clients or business acquaintance, and he acted for a time aa the assistant of the elder ottorney. Finally, as Crawford acquired some business of his own, they frequently conducted casos together, sharing in the fees. These amicable r lationB continued for soy-oral years, but finally ended in a disagreement over the fees in a caso which they had conducted jointly;" The above IsovHently Willie's version of the matter, aa every ono hero knows that Crawford went to Roseburgtoeorve a term aa Receiver of the Roseburg land office, after building up a fine law prac tice at Marehfleld and taking kis place as ono of the leading attorneys of this part of Oregon. When hia term in tho land office expired he resumed the prac tice of hia proleasion. Willis at that time was a has-been, and out ot plf Crawford gave him deak room in his office and threw eomo business in his way to help him along. He allowed him f to assist n tho Nash litigation and paid him his aharo of tho foes, But when he made a sale of the Naah mlnea, a mat1- ter with which Willis bad nothing what ever to do,he naturally kept the commis- alon himself. Hot '.wUsfleil with charily hehad received, however, when ho found that Crawfdrd.had.reeolviHt' . . . w,ood commisstou for negotiating sale of tho initio Willis wanted half ol t'tat. The. very fact that bo was entirely Ipnor ant of tho traniactlona on which this commission depended, until long eolter- wrd, eho'wa that he performed no Mil vices in tho matter and had no claim on a share ot tho commission. Ilo didn't wet I', nnd with tho vindictive hatred of tho broken down has-been foi n iwtis hctor, ho his bo:n trmyl ovor filncj t Injure Crawtcrd in any way posslbto. Hla ro-callcd caso has boon thrown out of court several times, and now ho brings t bttoro tho bar association, wheru ho knows it will again bo thrown out, slm ply in an attempt to injure Crawford, with the help of each uowpapers ns th Portland Journal, which will mako a great display of the chargo and fxnoie j0 vindication. 1 1 Editorials Oil r 1 V Of Ill6 rGOplG I Uadfrihhtdthe MAIL wilt tx plitttd .0 j ibllh conimualclloo oa uhltct - rubllc 'nte.eit. umlic no rtro.;li y ft the ten:lmol i a ptcttkJ. .oltlbutlon n luvllad, Early Closing Tho closing of tho atorca at six o'clock is a move in tho right direction aa the amount of business done after this hour j could eaaily bo done bctoro aa well aa after six o'clock and furthermore tho trado after this hour is the hardest the clerks havo to contend witb, it being J composed of proplo who are out simply to boo tho sights iastcud of coming out to b ly.
