, THE "WAR FRAUDS."
The retirement of James Cameron, "director of investi
frntions and accounts of the war department," ends an epoch,
and. ends it more creditably than most Americans have
expected.
Mr. Cameron was appointed several years ago to look
: into the war contracts, with a view to uncovering such
crookedness as congressiontd investigating committees had
not been "able to find. He went at the job with energy and
fckill, and according to his reports looked carefully into
200,000 contracts, big and little, amounting to thousands
of millions of dollars. In all that mass of war business he
has found evidence of deliberate fraud in only a few cases.
He now lays down the job because he "has nothing more
to do" , :'-;''; ,;.-
r High prices; unquestionably, were paid for supplies in
the; stress of the big War when time was thought to be
worth more than mon'ey.tv Many manufacturers and dealers
charged all the traffic would bear. Many inspectors and
qther jciuii(wn( daubt, weje lax in inspection, in' the.
press of war work. But it is greatly to the credit of both
sides, the government forces' and tho forces of private capi
tal, that , in that great enterprise it has been possible to
discover so little that, can be called stealing or cheating.
The 'war contracts, despite-the immense sums of money
involved,' are said to be cleaner than they were in any
previous war. That is something for Americans to re
member with pride, in connection with a conflict that has
brought few satisfactions.

v Oho of the most Interesting hits

The dike of rock tHpped up to tne

of' removing It will be negligible.
Tho high peaks 'surrounding the

and quality of rock, und geolo

to have been astounded at the

WALLOWA COUNTY'S PROSPECTS
;. Two great industries loom as not-far-distant possibilities
in Wallowa county, these being a dairying industry second
to none, and black marble and extra high grade lime manu
facture, the latter pifljoct having been visited by members
of the Union county caravan to Wallowa county last week,
ii story of y-hich .appears in today's edition of The Observer,
j ."I know of n(i.sectioii 'of the United States' where dairy
ing offers greater passibilities than Wallowa county," said
C. C. Gignoux, last week, when he with other officials of
tlie Union Pacific made a general tour and inspection trip
of the line to' Joseph, accompanied by Carl R. Gray, the
U. P. President.' Mr. GignoiK is the new assistant agricul
turist for tho railroad out of1 Portland, and comes to Ore
gon after, years of experience in making l-eciprocating con
tact between the railroads and fanners in he middle west.
What he says, therefore, carries much weight fnvorable to
ICastern Oregon farmers.
The rail official, who naturally is looking to increased
business for his company, sees the realization of this end
with the bringing to the front of Union county's neighbor
by the development of this great resource in which the
fanner is interested- With irrigation in Wallowa county
actually costing 1 fa I fa-raisers but 20 cents per acre, as
compared with charges in other sections of the country
which reach up to the tremendous figure of S9.00 an acre,
it is little wonder that Mr. Gignoux sees dairying as a
profitable enterprise in the rich valley to the north. The
-, Observer, understands Mr. Gignoux went-into this quite
thoroughly with Wallowa ranchers, pointing out the ideal
dairying climate, the proper slopes to the hills aiding both
drainage and irrigation, and the railroad facilities for hand
ling the milk products. Two hundred cows, he estimated,
could support a cheese factory, which would be a start in
the n'ght direction. He suggested bringing experienced
cheese men from Wisconsin, if necessary, to give the move
ment proper imjjctus at the beginning, and until local men
got the "swing"- of intensified dairying.
With the apparent backing which Wallowa county is
giving the company developing its lime rock deposits on
Alder Slope, this too, promises much in the way of bring
ing the county into its proper place in the sun. The large
number of men to be employed in the kilns and hydrating
plant can mean aught but added prosperity, which will in
crease with continued enlargement until sixteen kilns are
built, according to the present plans of the company. Those
deposits already are known to the northwest building trades.
The prospects for Wallowa county are indeed bright.

A. J. Warren, the conipauy en

he said, In the government teMi

where the lime was used for fil
tration processes. In such cuses
tho solubility of the lime is of
paramount Importance. The solu

show that so-called usable limes
vary in time required to precipi

One experience which Mr. War

had standardized on another make
of lime. The I.ewlston office was
approached to udupt the Knter

turned It down because of previ
