Entered at the postofflce at Oregon
City, Oregon, as second-class mauer,
FRIDAY, MAY 5, 1903.
DONT GIVE UP YET.
There has been Issued the official
order directing the removal of the
Oregon City Land Office to Portland.
The order directs that business at
the Oregon City Land Office shall be
suspended on June 30th and that the
office together with its records shall
be removed to Portland, the day fol
lowing, July 1.
, Ordinarily this would appear to be
final but it is not so considered by
the people of this city as well as a
great majority of the residents of the
Oregon City Land District who firmly
believe that if the situation ' can be
presented to the President, the order
will yet be rescinded The absence' of
any legitimate grounds or demand for
the change encourages the work tf op
posing the plan which appears to
have originated with a few special
agents on whose recommendation the
change has been ordered. There has
been made not a single request for
the change by the people of the Dis
trict who are content to allow the
office to remain at Oregon City where
It has been located for half a century.
In the circulation of petitions re
monstrating against the removal of
the Land Office from this city, Mr.
Curry. In behalf of the citizens' com
mittee has been meeting with great
success. Not a state official at Salem
declined to sign the petition. A large
representation of the prominent and
Influential people in every section of
the District that Is served by the Ore
gon City Land Office willingly signed
the remonstrance.
The removal of the Land Office from
this city will also remove the only
real claim Oregon City can advance
for a federal building. In view of the
fact that there are no available quar
ters in Portland for the reception of
this office, it would he quite reasonable
that congress vote for Oregon City a
federal building to be jointly occupied
by the Post Office and the Land Of
fice. While the outlook is dubious the
fight should and will be carried to a
finish. There is every reason to be
lieve that if the true situation is
called to the attention of the Presi
dent, the desires of the large majority
of the people of the Oregon City Land
District will be respected as against
the whimsical fancies of a few
pleasure-seeking special agents who
consider their personal amusement
and entertainment paramount to the
convenient location of the Land Office
at Oregon City. Let's present the
matter to the President, himself, who
has always disposed of public ques
tions just about right.
ABOUT STREET SPRINKLING.
It is not too early to consider the
question of street sprinkling. Last
year we tolerated the dust but a rem
edy should be provided this season
especially when we are to entertain
many Eastern people. It would be
nice if provision could be made for
sprinkling the streets in both the busi
ness and residence districts, but some
thing should certainly be done to
wards dispensing with the dust nui
sance on Main street this summer.
The editor this week received the
following letter from E. E. Charmac,
who is spending several weeks at East
Auburn, California: "
"I thought that as the street sprink
ling time is almost here, a few re
marks and facts would not be out of
the way. The city of Auburn, as it is
usually called, is divided into two
parts, called Auburn and East Auburn,
and reminds me very much of the
business portion of Oregon City be
low the bluff and Oregon City on top
of the bluff. The sprinkling proposi
tion here was met in the following
way: The city grants permission to
some party to sprinkle the street. The
water belongs to a private corporation
and costs $90 for the season, of six
months usually. The sprinkling wagon
horses and harness belong to the party
having the sprinkling permit' One
outfit is capable of sprinkling thirty
blocks and one mile of street per day,
sprinkling the same forty feet wide
twice a day, usually morning and ev
ening. "A'tfout $40 per week is collected
from the business men aud property
holders, the prices being from 25 cents
to i per week, according to the else
of the property frontage. They use
a "50 gallon sprinkling cart here that
is drawn by two horses. A 1000-gal
Ion cart can be bought new for $4GS
I nd second hand for about $2000. I
think this would be the solution of the
sprinkling question for Oregon City."
Who will make a similar proposition
to the Oregon City Council?
o
MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.
Since the Chicago election there has
been much talk elsewhere of the city
ownership of public utllltles.In a year
or two, when it la seen just how much
Judge Dunne is likely to accomplish,
this talk may diminish or at least
the argument from Chicago will be
weakened. Judge Dunne went on the
principle of promising everything and
taking the chances after election. Mr.
Harlan was defeated partly because
his cautious programme was less ex
citing, but partly for reasons having
no bearing on the general principle
for which the election is supposed to
stand. He was knifed by Republican
machine politicians. He was hated
with hardly lesa bitterness by them
by Hearst and the Democratic graft
ers who were trying to increase their
power. Harlan is not so able as a
constructive and responsible leader as
he was a free-lance whose business it
was to stir things up. His programme
seemed to change and waver, and cer
tainly it lacked clearness. Moreover,
what Chicago thinks about municipal
ownership and operation now is of
less importance than what she will
think about it in a couple of dozen
months. The problem is different In
the United States from what it is In
other countries, because of the pecu
liar nature of our politics. It would
be rather diverting, to one who had
no heart, to see municipal operation
under the guidance of such men as
Charley Martin, Johnny Powers, and
Hinky Dink, but fortunately the Chi
cago Council, although it suffered de
terioration in the last election, still
seems to have a majority of decent
members. Chicago promises to retain
Its position as the one among great
American cities in which self-government
comes nearest to meaning gov
ernment according to the wishes of
respectable citizens, and not accord
ing to the private needs of thieving
politicians. To retain the ground won
by the Municipal Voters' League is
more important than to elaborate
theories about public and private own
ership. ' 0
REST FOR THE PRESIDENT.
A very real side of Mr. Roosevelt is
brought out by the vacation which he
is now enjoying. "Rest" is what the
accounts told us he was seeking, and
rest no doubt he is obtaining. It is
not .the kind some hard-worked men
would choose. It is strenuous rest.
Lying in a hammock and lazily im
bibing poetry, or merely listening to
the insects' hum, Is not the President's
form of relaxation. The best kind of
recreation is changed activity and Mr.
Roosevelt is constantly changing his
activity and constantly recreated. If
he lives to be as old as Gladstone he
will be no less vigorous than he. A
friend of ours, some ninety years of
age, was sorrowing at the loss of one
of his companions. "He would have
lived to be old," he lamented, "had not
mere accident Intervened. He was
barely eighty when he died." We
know nothing healthier than Mr.
Roosevelt. His diet is as simple as
the diet of the Japanese. The pleas
ures he seeks all tend to health and
longevity. The danger which lurks in
grizzly bears, mountain Hons, or what
ever animals he may come across, is
nothing compared to the dangers of
Inaction and artificial life. Perhaps
his hunting is mainly for air and exer
cise, like following an ainseed bag,
and he may see few things more fero
cious than a coyote or jack rabbit.
Whatever he kills, or fails to kill, he
is happy in the West, in the open air,
In the exercise of his body, with the
sky above him and the fresh breezes
in his face. Reporters, cameras, and
speeches all along the route do not
destroy the naturalness of the out
ing. The President on his spree Is en-
Joying life as thoroughly, spontaneous
ly, and wholsomely as a lot of boys at
baseball or old hundred.
YES, WHERE?
Under the appropriate heading,
"Where Will It Be?" Tuesday's Port
land Telegram printed the following:
"If indications count for anything,
the status of the Oregon City Land
Office, so far as a location is concern
ed when It Is removed to Portland
July 1, is In doubt. The order re
moving the land office from Oregon
City to Portland was made by the
President several weeks ago, since
which everybody is at sea as to where
it will be situated. Collector of Cus-
toms Patterson don't want It in the
Custom House, and there is no place
for it in the new post-office building."
Senator Fulton in a letter this week
to Representative Huntley Inquires aa
to the amount of rent that is being
paid for the quarters now occupied
by the Oregon City Land Office and
for other Information touching on the
requirements of this office. Senator
Fulton also assures Mr. Huntley and
the people of Oregon City that he will
do everything within his power to pro
vent the removal of the Land Office
from this city. It Is tho purpofo of
Senator Pulton to present the matter
before President Roosevelt and in
duco him to rescind the order of re
moval that has been issued. The peo
ple of this Land District will be more
than grateful to Senator Fulton for
any service he may render in this
connection. Ills services are moro to
be appreciated and valued for the rea
son that they have been volunteered.
