COLD HILL DEEDS L (Portland Labor Press.) Oregon's new secretary of state, Ben W. Olcott, Is n young man of exceptional qualifications for the of fice to which he has boon called by Governor West. His appointment Is hut another of tho surprises, so agreeable to the public. If n little disconcerting to tho old-style party lies that have been sprung by the governor. Olcott is an expert ac countant nnd lent very material assistance in disclosing the internal affnirs of the Title Guarantee & Trust company.

J. Morgan and associates of Portland, Or., for the erection ot a custom mill to treat gold-bearing ores of tho dis trict. Tho laud is a part of the old Dra den estate and offers all tho advan tages for such a plant that could he desired. One Eldo Is paralleled by the Southern Pacific tracks and the other by Rogue river, which will af ford all the water necessary In the washing of the ore. T)ie mill is to be operated on Iho plan of the old grist mills. Miners will bring in their jre, pay so much for the use of the plant, at a fixed rate a ton, and tako back their "clean-up" after the run. At tho present time it is estimated that enough ore has been signed up to run the mill all season, and prospectors of the district state that they will work their claims now that they have some .manner to treat tho ore. (Gervals Star.) Olcott is clean, square and capable and his experience ns u banker and public accountant has been worth a great deal to Oregon during the year that he has served as secretary of state. The office has been put on a business basis from top to bottom. Everybody works not once In n j while, but all the time nnd every body works intelligently and in pur suance of a systematic plan; a care ful record Is kept of every cent that conies in or goes out of the office; modern time nnd money saving ma chinery have been installed wherever there was a chance to effect a sav ing. The secretary's office disburses about $2,500,000 per year, and Mr. Olcott takes particular pains to ses that every claim against the state's funds is carefully scrutinized before j being O. K.M. Hen W. Olcott. V of the fact that he was appointed h West. Generally when a man of one parly appoints n mnn from another polities! party, there Is more or le.s opposi tion. nut the papers seem to recognUe In Mr. Olcott a man who is doing his duty without fear or favor. The bills are closely scrutinized, and he does not fall In with every effort to pull the leg of the state. There Is about 100.000 a year dif ference to the taxpayers between n secretary of stnte who Is there to serve tho ioople, and one who con strues tho laws for the tax-eaters. has thus prepared herself for nnturo'u (ftist Orogonlnn, ivndleton, Ore.) ilreim function".

Thomas of Oakland was unani mously elected commander of the G. A. R department of California and Xpvada, at today's session of the encampment. (Portland Journal.) Secretary of State Olcott has Is sued an order requiring employes In his office to give their full time to the state. Recently he laid down a rule that no claim would be allowed in his office for tips and kindred expenditures at tho expense of the state. It is a business man's way of ad ministering the office of state secre tary. In the case or employes, the state is entitled to all the service It pays ror. The employe has not, as has been the custom, tho right to do outsldo work on the state's time. In such things a public office should be conducted strictly as In private af fairs, and that is manifestly what Secretary Olcott Is doing. (Ashland Tidings) When Secretary of Stato Olcott takes occasion to come out publicly with a statement warning investing in western mining companies wltho.it careful Investigation, It is safe to guess that he has good reason for io doiirg. (Capital Journal, Salem.) The country newspapers do not know very much about a man's poli tics, but they sometimes rally for n good man. They seem to be very friendly to Den Olcott for renomlnatlon, in spite (Ulue Mountain Eagle.) Hen Olcott Is n plain plug for the poor people. He is a republican nnd a good old scout.
