Portland Spectator: It greatly In terests and delights the people of California to read In tho Portland papers that Francis J. Heney Is run ning for this or that office in the Golden State. Some days ago the Oregonian announced quite freely that Francis J. Henoy was running for governor of California, which causes a serious-minded friend of mine, who lives in San Francisco and reads the Oregonian and The Spectator to write as follows: "Your big dally, I soe, says that Heney Is a candidate for governor of this great state of ours. Never be lieve it. Of course, Heney may think he Is running, but dir not permit what he thinks to change the facts In the case. Heney, you will recall, announced in Portland that he was running for district attorney of San Francisco. He just thought it. The vote Bhowed that. The announce ment from Portland that he will be a candidate for governor amuses. I don't think he has any strength out side of the Down and Out club, of which he Ib president; the other member of the club wants to be gov ernor, too. We here regard It as most Interesting that we have to read In a Portland paper of Heney's running for office In California. Please assure the Oregonian that the people want Heney as much for gov ernor as they did for district atttor ney." Well, that Is all I know about It. If the Oregonian desires to accept a 'tip" of my correspondent, the Ore gonian is welcome to it. He is a very clever, knowing person, not at all given to guile. It was the same correspondent who Informed me, when Heney was electing himself to the district attorneyship of San Frnnclsco in all the papers of Oregon -that Mr. Heney did not have any more chance of election to that of fice than a cat has to become a bird. So I have a good deal of confidence In my correspondent's political Judg ment. -, No doubt It amuses California, where Heney has wholly ceased to be a subject of Interest, to read in a Portland paper that he is likely to he a candidate for governor. The Callforninns probably think the Ore gonian was having fun at Heney's expense. If that was the purpose of the Oregonlan's long story about Cal ifornia's crying for Heney to become their governor, I must say the humor wbr Ill-timed. Mr. Honey Is still suffering from the effects of the frightful beating the voters gave him when he ran for district attorney: I should Imagine the thought of run ning for office again would affect him as much as the sight of a piece' of raw pork does the unfortunate man who Is taking his first sea voy age. , Why the Oregonian should hold Heney up for the snickering enjoy ment of the people, I can't tell. My droll contemporary would have caused as much sly merriment by saying that General Kllfeather pro posed presenting himself as a can didate for the United States senate from Oregon under direct primary rules as by saying that Heney would be a candidate for governor of Cali fornia. Indeed. If General Kll feather should decide to run for the United States senate (under direct primary rules) I should regard his candidacy so seriously that I would feel impelled to egg James Dooley HenneRsy Murphv to Junius the man out of the race. With Mr. Heney and his gubernatorial aspirations, its quite different. I'll wager one of Buffnm & Pendleton's Stetson hatB against Sheriff' Stevens' whlskerR that Heney can beat himself for any thing In the wide worlds ot politics or the law. He Is a marvel at that. Give Heney a subservient Judge, a carefully selected Jury, a timid or gentlemanly lawyer and the backing of a lot of fear or awe-Inspired pa pers, and Heney will win a case; but never an office, because tne Ameri can people are not subservient, and you cannot select your own voters as you sometimes choose jurors, and the public isn't frightened by brag, bluster and blether. And that 1b why the people of California snicker when the Oregonian talks of Heney for governor of the Golden state. TO RESTORE 4,000,000 ACRES. Uiillingi'r Proposes to Open to Entry Farm and Grazing Lands. WASHINGTON, Feb. 11. The Joint plan formulated by Secretaries Balllnger and Wilson and now ap proved by the president, will restore i, 000, 000 acres, now in reserves, to public entry, and will elimlate from the reserves 470,000 acres in Idaho and about 600,000 acres in Oregon. The lands involved in the restora tion for settlement are those not suitable for forest purposes and rep resent more than 2 per tent of the total forest area. As ihree-tenthfl of the forest domain still Is unclassified It Is difficult to estimate what will be the total elimination when the wholo area has been mapped out. Not Yet Selected. It cannot be stated at this time that withdrawals will be made from the public lands for forest purposes In accordance with the policy of classification. The subject is under consideration and the lands best adapted to forest purposes will be added to the national forests, but the subject has not reached concrete form. The great area, It was an nounced today, which would elimin ated from the foresls, is scattored throughout the reserves. Tracts in the Interior of the forests and much land along the edges jwill be lifted out of the confines of the reserves, establishing with greater exactness the boundaries of the foreslB. Some land eliminated is suitable for dry farming, though the greater part Is grazing land. These lands, nore suitable for tilling and grazing than the growing of trees, will now be placed to profitable use Instead nf lying Idle within the national for ests. The forest service has been at work since May collecting data to determ ne the proper classification of the lands within the national forest do main, under the plan evolved by the Interior and agricultural departments and It Is expected to Insure the amic able administration of the public lands by the general land office and the forestry bureau. 40 IJAItlUXS OK HIDES.
