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.
