The City Water Situation With the tender to the court of the amount fixed by the jury as the price the city shall pay for the city water system, it would seem that the last round of the long water fipht is about to come to a conclusion. The report that Mayor Hart wig had refused to complete the negotiations of taking over the plant by refusing to sign the warrants, caused a ripple of ap prehension, but this has appar ently been smoothed out In an other column the mayor states his reasons for his objections to issuing the city's paper for this purpose, and it must be admitted that his grounds for doing so were sufficiently serious. His convictions in the matter are un doubtedly sincere and must therefore be respected. It would have been the part of wisdom to have delayed criticism until the exact facts were known, rather than to have imputed un worthy motives to a delay in ex ecuting papers involving a by no means small transaction in the city's finances, and his dignified method of replying to his critics will most assuredly have the ap proval of the public. The feature of the situation in which the council members have assumed the responsibility of putting aside legal technicalities which might have intervened, is unquestionably receiving the sup port of citizens in general. The people are as anxious to conclude the matter as are the council and its legal advisers, and have al ready signified their willingness to do so by voting bonds not only to construct a new plant, but to buy the old one. On this point the citizens have become a unit, as well as on that of having it done as expeditiously as possible. It is therefore hoped that no obstruction will be placed in the way of a speedy transfer of the water property. There is surely nothing to be gained by the pres ent owners in doing so, while much may accrue to them in good will by completing the ne gotiations as promptly as circum stances will permit. Good Roads Legislation A special session of the legis lative to enact good roads legis lation has been recommended by Governor West's commission, which has just met and outlined several bills. These provide for Ftate aid, a state highway com missioner, and for enabling counties to avail themselves of the bonding act for road pur Ioses passed as the last general election. The commissioners, who represent all parts of the state, are hopeful that much will be accomplished should these measures be enacted. The feature of the good roads movement, however, that ap peals to the average progressive citizen with the greatest force, is the bonding proposition, Whet-h er the other features are put into effect matters little if coun ties are allowed to bond to im prove their highways, while without this authority the other provisions of the measure are practically useless. The amount of state aid offered by the last legislature was so insignificant us to 1k ridiculou, and was there fore looked upon with exceeding indifference. Better no state aid than such an amount. The state highway commission, also, is not a matter of great importance. It is of little moment whether either of the latter provisions are adopted. The key to the sit uation is the lxnding act, which, once in operation, would do more towurd good mads than all the commissions, and do it more economically than any other plan that can In? devised. Likewise it would do it more speedily. It is to le hoped that sufficient pressure will le brought to bear on Governor West by the people to carry out his suggestion of calling an extra session of the legislature, and that it will this time give the citizens of the state the legislation they have been asking for. for several years, regardless of grangers, politicians or office seekers. The Latest in Trusts According to press reports, a $200, MO. 000 lumber corporation is in process of formation. It will embrace mills on tidewater in Oregon and Washington, con trolling Go per cent of the timber output. It is emphatically de nied that the eorjtoration con templates a monopoly of the lum ber output. The tentative agree ment has been submitted to many eminent lawyers and will be forwarded to Attorney Gen eral Wiekersham for an opinion as to whether it infringes on any of the Sherman anti-trust laws. This reads well in print, but if control of the lumber output of the Northwest is not the object of this proposed huge corpora tion, what is its purpose? Not withstanding the statement to the contrary, the public will re quire more conclusive evidence than the fact that the tentative agreement has been submitted to the attorney general for exami nation. It would indeed require a large grain of salt to swallow the statement that this latest of proposed monstrous trusts is anything but what it is a com bination to control the acreage, output and distribution, and to fix the price of timber and lumber. Civilizing the Indian An Indian addicted to the use of morphine was an inmate of the city lock-up Thursday night. The dusky son of the forest is said to have been under the in fluence of the drug a number of t'mes, and is stated to become quite wild in his movements when filled with this potent dope. This is the first case of the mor phine habit aquired by a redman that has come to our notice, and is, we believe, a rarity. If mor phine produces the same effect on an Indian, in proportion to its influence, as whiskey, the result must be the making of a very bad redskin indeed. It would be better to pass over to him his beloved Hostetter's bitters or a shot gun, as far as the safety of the public is concerned. The question resolves itself into the fact that the so-called civilizing influences of the white man have also given the Indian the Caucasian's degenerate hab its, and that the farther he gets away from the primitive the more degenerate he becomes. Pinchot and Alaska Gifford Pinchot, now in Alas ka, is receiving just the recep tion he deserves, according to returning Alaskans. In fact, it is no reception, for nowhere has his coming aroused any ehthusi asm. No matter what the for mer forester's motives, the peo ple of the north feel that he is responsible for holding back the country. Congressman Sulzer, of New York, who is just back, has formulated an intelligent pro gram for remedial legislation and will push it at the forthcom ing session of congress. Sulzer has long worked for the progress of Alaska and will continue to do so. Furthermore, no one who knows Sulzer personally or by reputation, will doubt his hon esty of purpose.
