There is no real ground for the
criticism of the renovation of the
White House and the erection of
the -President's olhce building
which people who have never seen
them, are so fond of indulging in.
Except, possibly, to the art con-
the decorations of the
White House are handsome and
attractive and the present airange
went for receiving great-crowds an
improvement over those formerly
existing. The office building ie of
great " convenience both to the
President and to those having bus
iness with him.
heroafter surveyed aro to lie sold to
the lushest bidder, the minimum
price boin not loss than I2.W) an
acre. This act will probably cre
ate a temporary activity in the
purchase of school lands, for it will
not go into effect for 90 days, ami
people have that length of time in
which to purchase at the old price.
After this act rocs into effect,
'chool sections already surveyed
will lie sold at '2.50 an acre and
lieu lands at ti. At the nev
prices the sale of land will be lesr
rapid than at present prices, but
as the school fund is now greatei
than the state land board has been
able to loan, there will be no loss
on account of the decrease in sales,
In a few years the actual value of
the land will have increased so
that it will sell at the new prices

President Roosevelt is sometimes
criticised for his extravagance.
That alleged extravagance takes
the form of treating his friends
with open handed hospitality and
spending a considerable portion of
his not large income in excess of
his salary. But. if he is willing to
do this why should the public com
plain? Hospitality is a part of
Mr. Roosevelt's nature and, after
all, the United States, the wealthi
est nation in the world, pays its
President but $50,000 a year where
as frugal France pays her Presi
dent but 1120,000 and furnishes a
palace at that. Mr. Roosevelt has
to defray out of his own pocket
many similar expenses and yet
this country is much richer and
more prosperous than France.
"William J. Bryan, in his recent
address to the New York Press
Club, said among other things: "A
little country weekly has as much
influence as a great city daily. No
paper can make a bad man good'
Nor can a paper make a good man
bad. Don't think, you men who
make the city dailies, that you cre
ate all the ideas of this country.
Out in the little hamlets men on
small salaries are helping to make
this Nation what it ought to be."
This is true, and it is a pity it is
true. The free silver at 16 to 1 fal
lacy owed its chief support and
dissemination to the little country
weeklies that accepted Richard P.
Bland and William J. Bryan r. s
oracles in finance. Oregonian.
In reading the above comment
one cannot but wonder if the Ore
gonian has forgotten that it was
itself once a country weekly. Also
that the country weeklies repre
senting our own political side, in
the campaign mentioned, out
numbered the Democratic papers
two to one, and we dare say, had
it not been for these same country
papers, the political sentiment may
have been moulded in another di
rection. In spite of the Oregonian's
able editorials, which wield a
great influence and are rightly
recognized, the simple minded
country editors in Oregon's out
lying districts do a great deal more,
when counted as a whole, towards
effecting reform, and spreading
political sentiment in this state
than the Oregonian.
The United States Geological
Survey has in press and will short'
ly issue the first of a series of four
reports which will contain the re
sults of the stream measurements
made by the hydrographic braneh
of the Survey during the year 1902.
Heretofore the yearly report on the
hydrographic work of the Survey
in relation to the streams of the
country has been scattered through
a number of pamphlets and vol
umes; now for the first time, the
whole will be published in unified
and compact form.
The forthcoming paper contains
the measurements of discharge,
daily gage heights, and other data
connected with the drainage area
of those rivers which flow into the
Atlantic Ocean north of James
River, including that strean. The
second paper will contain similar
information for the remainder of
the stations on streams east of the
Mississippi, and the last two papers
will be devoted to the data collect
ed in the Western States.
The last three numbers of the
series are in preparation and will
be ready for publication in a few
months.
Slate SchHl Lands.
Only one hill passed the legisla
ture governing the sale of state
school lands. This was Steiwer's
senate bill 154, which doubles the
price of land, and practically putt
an end to lieu land selections by
private enterprise. The act also
prohibits the sale of any lien land
until the state's title thereto has
been finally approved. Lands
There is no money to bo wasted

the strictest economy therefore
there vi'.l lie no money to lavish
upon needless ollicials to superin

mike a contract, and when the
work is completed or as the con
struction progress can examine
and recieve or reject it. If the
work is done by contract there wi
be no need of a superintendent
until it is in operation. It would
be a useless office and the salary
paid therefor would bo money
thrown away. Times Mouutaineer.

"During the winter of 1898 I was so

According to President Elliott,
Harvard graduates are not proving
to be good propagators of the race.
From data gathered relating to six
classes graduating between 1872
and 1877, whose members are now
between 40 aud 50 years of age, he
finds that 28 per cent are still un
married, while the married ones
have each, on the average, only
two children. He uses these sta
tistics as an argument for Tfic
shortening of the college course
and placing college men a year or
two earlier in the real and serious
activities of life. But the deduc
tion from his figures is irresistible,
if the,same results run through all
the college classes, that the higher
education is a failure as a factor
for the perpetuation of the human
race, at least so far as Harvard
University is concerned. This
same condition is not only true in
other schools and in higher edu
cation generally but also the case
in higher society everywhere.
The range question in Gilliam
county has now become a rather
serious one and many of our sheep
men are aiming to move llieir
flocks to more choice feeding
grounds to a place where, so to
speak, they will have room to brea
the. This is more so the case with
those owners who have no range of
their own to run stock on. Rented
range is becoming harder to get
every year and the price the lessee
has to pay for it eats a big slice
out of his income. We look for
some of our sheepmen moving into
other counties before another year
is over. Then there is the- sum
mer range question. Every one
knows that it is becoming harder
each year to run stock in the,
mountains from the fact that bands
of vigilants shoot into and massa
cre sheep and destroy camp outfits.
Getting into the range also is no
easy task as the sheep have got to
be ' laned" for so great a distance I vv. A

The Meetings which have been con
ducted for the past ten days by Rev
J. E. Snyder, of Biownsville, were
turned over by him last Monday even
ing to Dr. Cnwood of Portland and
Rev. Alter of the local Presbyterian
Church and Rev. Clark the Methodist
pastor. They will conduct the meet
ings through this week. ' ,
Mr. Snyder's early departure is re
gretted by his many friends as they
feel that his usefulness is anything
but emletl. During his etny of nine
days he hss spoken earnestly eveiy
evening and under his speaking about
60 have been coiverted besides 40
children who evinced a desire to
become christians. Of these converts
some will go to every church that has
an organization in Prineville, as they
have not been importuned by anyone
but have been allowed their choice ol
churches. As a result tho Presbyter'
rians will be recruited by35 or 40, the
Methodists about the Fame number
while the Baptists and others come,
in for their share-.
Monday evening alter Mr. Snyder's
final discourse the new converts anil
those interested in the Presbyterian
Church repaired to the residence of
Mr. and Mr . C. I. Winnek where a
congregational meeting and reception
to Mr. Snyder were held. After a
short business seision, during which
time the ordinance of baptism was
administered to 16, the meeting was
turned into a reception for Mr. Buy
der. Refreshments were served and a
short program rendered.
This visit of Mr. Snyder has had the
effect of stimulating the Presbyterrian
church building project and while it
was already assured, before his arrival,
through the earnest work of Rev.
Alter and his local suppoiters, a com
rnodious building is now pi 'lied upon,
tb cost at least $:)000, of which sum
about $2100 is in sight This sum
will be sufficient to build a neat
0 ure h that will be a credit to our
town, and of which we ill be proud.
The trustees elected for the Presby
terrian organization are T. M. Bald
win, M. H. Bell, E. J. Shattnck, Fred
Lehman and C. I. Wjnnek.
Rev. Snyder left on Tuesday's stage
for his home at Brownsville, and car
ries with him the well wishes of many
friends and adnrrers made dur.ng his
short stay in our city.
News was received hero last
