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.
