SeCRfrTARY HITCHCOCK Quite a number of Oregon 'newspapers are severe in criticisms of Secretary Hitchdock. When the land frauds were about to be investigated, and it became an unpleasant inference from known facts that if the secretary persisted in his in vestigations many prominent men in Oregon would be involved, there went up a howl against Hitchcock. The investi gation did not halt and it has already gone so far that Oregon has but one rep resentative in the concrress of the United States. Courts and Jouries sustaining the secretary. Now there is an earsplitting howl that Hitchcock is too old to be secretary, and that he is not pushing the irrigation pro jects in Oregon with vigor. The vim with which he pushed the land fraud cases refutes this charge. From whak we can learn the secretary does hesitate about rushing soma of the watering projects but not because of his age but for that the secretary thinks he sees from the atitude of a lot of targe holders of land procured from the government "by ways that are dark" that they are endeavoring to aug ment the value of their fraudulent hold ings by making the government irrigate their lands on terms more favorable to them than for the smaller holders of homestead claims. It will not be long until Christmas. Already the stores are beginning to pre pare for the holiday trade which will be larger than common this year After cutting down his own salary from $150,000 to $75,000. President McCurdy seems to have discovered that the latter sum was too small to keep the wolf from the door, and has decided to hunt another job. ',,...';.. The plan of a ship canal from just south of Astoria inland to a point above that place in the Columbia river to abolish the jetty and the necessity of crossing the bar a proposed by , ex-Governor Semple, of Seattle, seems feasible. Millions of dollars have been spent on the jetty at the mouth of the Columbia river. So far the results have been unsuccessful. The winter gales succeed in tearing cut almost as much as the summer's work has put in. A ship canal should be more economical and it seems, far more ser-vicable.

There it certainly fine opportunity for a large investment in this valley in the poultry business. Think of it turkeys selling for 20 cents per pound live weight and then not half enough to supply the local de mand. One of the hardest fightt congress has had in years will come up in the next session when the railroad rate bill it dis cussed. What will make it nun arnii- ous it that the President will not tccept a compromise. A life insurance company presidency does not offer the possibilities to the aspiring youth of the. land that it once did. Most youths will be content to aspire no higher than the mere presidency of the United States now.
