Ha j. larr i In faror of ncourin honeat a. moment on the public domain; In fv..r of aldlna- an.I encourantng- the homrateadcr. and In decided oppo sition ti Ion delay In adjudlratlna; rf where the question of Irregularity or fraud haa been Introduced. He de clared that the man who had earned a patent ahould receive It and expe ditiously and the man who la not entitled to patent ahould be dispos sessed. That la all the West haa asked, but t:iat ta Just what the West haa not been abla to net from the Interior De partment In many years. Hack In tha old daye. the Interior Department waa an eaay-srolns; ma chine, ponderous, alow and indifferent The administration under Secretary Itllsa. at tha openlna; of the McKlnley administration, waa far from efficient. Such was the condition of affalra when Kthan Allen Hitchcock became Secre tary, lie was a business man. and quickly realized that something waa wren. Hut when he et about rticht ln the wronit. ha overdid tha thin;, and to the reforms Initiated by Secre tary Hitchcock may be attributed moat of the abuses of which the Weat com plain today. Rarsra r laced aa Ratryasea. . Secretary Hitchcock started on tha assumption that every public land en tryman was dishonest, and Imposed upon him the burden of establishing; his honesty and his (food faith. The public land laws. Instead of Instruments to aid homeseekers In acquiring; lands, j were construed Into statutea designed to retard settlement, and every mrana j at the Secretary a command waa usea to prevent the Issuance of patents. Spe cial arents of the Land Office were called Into the Secretary- office and In structed that vigilance waa the price of their Jobs, and agenta who were unable to discover fraud were aoon aware that their service were no longer required. Tht built up a system that brought about most of the trouble that exist to this day. Under Secretary Hitch cock the special agents went broadcast over the West, and when they rouna no specific Instancea of fraud, reported a suspicion" that fraud waa being committed In this locality or that. That Misplclon waa enough for Secretary Hitchcock. He Immediately auspended all entries against which specific re ports were made, and Issued blanket suspensions axalnst all entrle In a locality where "suspicion" of fraud had been reported. This Is a matter of record, as Is th further fact that many entries suspended by Secretary Hitch rock have not yet passed to patent, notwithstanding the filra of the In terior Department contain not one lota of evidence against the entryman. Spirit ef 5aaplrloa Urowa. The same spirit thst pervaded the special agents crept Into other bureaue .f the l-nd office an.l Interior Depart ment: Uw clerks became Inoculated, for they. too. wanted to hold their lobe, and when cases were appealed from the local land offices, they were scrutinised and passed upon by law clerks who had never practiced law and had never seen en acre ef puhlle Und; the output from Washington law colleges In many In stance., and naturally such clerks In terpreted the law not as Congress In tended hut as they thought Secretary Hitchcock would like. The settler never got the benent of the doubt; he always felt the full effect of any technical objection to his record. Under this system thousands of en tries were suspended and manv other creeled when the evidence before any Just official would have Justified the l.suance of pstent. To make matters worse, a greit array of regulations, one ft tnrm amounting; to law In effect, were promu'sated by the Sec retary, and these extended even onto the lands of Government Irrigation protects. Thus the homesteader, no matter where he tried to establish him self, found all manner of obstacles In Ms path. And that Is Just the reason n-ar.y an Amcrl-an firmer has crossed Inl.i Canada, where the government Is Ms friend and not hi enemy. t.ardeid Better. When James It. Garfield became Secretary of tre Interior he announced that he waa the friend of the settr and that the special agent of hla de partment were to help and not hinder the man making an honest effort to get title to public land. But the rec ord fails to show that thta promise was kept- Rather, the practicea of the Hitchcock regime were continued, and Mr. Garfield, after conferences with his friend. P:nchot. Issued a new set of regulations, withdrew from entry a lot of land that H.tchrock had over looked, ar.d without watting for the sar.ctlon of Congress, set about "con serving' all that waa left of the public domain. The West finally got a man In the Interior Department, at the opening of he Taft administration, and one who, "ad hs been allowed to carry out re forms he had In mind, would have given the V est a square deal. Put secretary Bal'.'.nrer had no aotner en tered the cabinet than Pinchot pickrd a q-iarrel w.th Mm. Thla quarrel grew to large proportions and became the I'tnchot-Balllnger tmbroglio, and for a ear he waa compelled to divert hla attention from hla department and spend hta time defending himself. H '!id make a start; he revoked the Man. ket orders of auspenston Issued by Secretary Hitchcock aa fast as .le could f ed tnem, and he starred In to revise tne departmental reaT-iial.on- But lc was handicapped In ihe jt i.iul. ated. and. moreover, public sentiment rtS'Jit Ina; from the Plnchot-Balllnger j'falr waa largely hostile to reajonahls re forms, and Mr. Balllcg-er left tna Cab inet with the better part af hie .task unfinished. Ftaker'a Eyes Are OaeaeA When Mr. Fisher became Secretary the work of 'conserving; the West" had been pretty thoroughly accomplished. Every known resource had been with drawn from entry; the area of enter- able public land had been reduced 10 a minimum, and be had ample oppor tunlty to look over what hla predeces sors had accompllahed. and see where Improvement were needed. He waa not a Western man; he had little knowledge of condition In the public land states; knew little of the work ings of the public land law and de partmental regulation, and ao he made a trip through the Weat to Inform hlm aelf. Before going, however, he studied the laws, and hla aatonlshment at me way aome of them are being; enforced OREGOX TIDEXT IIPPORTS ? HIM'ELF AT EXPE'SE J or aese o.THJ,r. a L. Leea Ray.

The late adjournment of Congress limited the Secretary's time In tha West, and he did not have opportunity to make a thorough investigation of all the problem with which he will be confronted. He learned enough, how ever, to convince him that the honest homeaeeker la not getting; that aid and encouragement which he should have from the Government; he learned that many regulatlona are onerous and un necessary: that some of the laws are Inadequate or antiquated, and that tha average aettier who gets title from the Government earn a great deal more than he receives. All this he haa jtromlaed to correct, but he will find be has a herculean task before him. He will be obliged to overturn old precedents, to abandon old practices, to force old clerks to adopt new methods, and to wring from Congress sensible legislation which It haa been unwilling; heretofore to enact. It Is a big undertaking, but Secretary Fisher has shown that he Is not afraid to tackle big problems, and being a man of Intense determination, he may be able to make good all his promises. If he fulfills half of them he will make the Weat his everlasting- friend. BORDEN PICKS CABINET rXSTF.R, OF TOROXTO, TO BE MINISTER OP FINANCE.

Then there waa a trick mule, owned and ridden by 17-year-old Henry Har baugh, that did all sorts of "stunts" for the President.

He departed at 8 P. M. for Omaha, where he will paaa Sunday and part of Monday, and thence start for the West. Mr. Taft In his one speech at the fair grounds In the forenoon confined himself to tha tariff. He told the story of hla vetoes of the wool and free list and cotton bills, and won his greatest applause by asserting; that despite the criticism of having employed "a royal prerogative." he would continue, to veto any bills of which he did not approve. Iowa People Tkaaked, In discussing his trip through Iowa the President declared his reception had been most cordial and pleasing. "I am glad I went to Iowa," be said. "I had no fear that my reception would not be cordial. However, some had suggested otherwise not Iowans, Per haps the wish was father to the thought; at any rate I wish to testily my gratitude to the Governor, to the atate officers, to the Congressmen of Iowa, and to the Senators, for- their very cordial reception of me without regard to the queatlon whether they agreed with me in politics or not, and I want to say the same thing about the people who turned out, I believe they learned something that I had In my heart to tell them, and I guess It has not done them any harm." PartlaanaalsV Is Avoided. On this trip the President said he did not wish to appear as a partiaan President, "I do not want to lose the character of President of the entire country." he ald. "I think a President can act with respect to a great many Issues In such a way as to convince those who are his opponents in politics that he I striving to act as fairly as he can In all matters that do not In volve party principles, for the benent of the whole country." SILVERSIDES' RUN IS EASY Fall Fishing; Season Peculiar 'on Oregon Coast This) Year. ASTORIA. Or 8ept. SO. (Special.) The Fall Ashing season, like the one that onded on .August 25, is peculiar in some respects. While a few ailversides are being taken, there has been no run of that clasa of fish, although large numbers of them are known to be hanging about outside the mouth of the river. On the other hand. fairly good catches of Chlnooks have been made and these flsh are of exceptionally fine quality for thla season of the year. In color they reaemble the Spring Chl nooks. but are, of course, not so rich. The Fall salmon now being taken are probably of the school which went into Monterey Bay late In August, whereas usually the last catch of Chlnooka la made In that bay before August 10.

A warrant is out here for the arrest of ex-Lieutenant - Governor Timothy L. Woodruff, charging him with having violated the Sunday law In conducting the aviation meet at the Nassau Boule vard grounds a week ago. This action was precipitated by the persistence of Woodruff in asserting that there would be flying again tomorrow in spite of the protests of Bishop Sturgiss, Canon Chase and various Long Island church congregations. The warrant issued by a local Justice of the Peace, is backed by six affi davits, replete with details of the The first motor truck to cross the continent entirely under its own power. Left New York July 8th ; reached San Francisco Aug ust 24th. Carried a 3-ton load all the way. This is a retrirkablo demonstration of the stamina and capability of the Packard truck under every conceivable con dition of hauling. The trip i one that has been accomplished by only a very few automobiles. The venture ha been re garded a virtually out of the question for a heavy truck. It was easily within the ability of the Packard truck because both Packard truck and Packard car are built to surmount difficulties much greater than they encounter in actual service. Their margin of efficiency is your margin of safety in pur chasing Packard for whatever purpose. FRANK C.

They describe Woodruff as the "bead showman," and recite conversations had with him on' the grounds during the Sunday flying by detectives sent there for that pur pose. Woodruff is somewhat disturbed by the new turn in his controversy over the right to have Sunday flying. In a statement explaining his position, he declares that "if the Sheriff considers it his duty to make arrests, we can but submit, conscious, however, that the final determination of the matter In the courts will sustain the position that this meet does not come within the scope of the specified or implied prohibition' of the statutes of the state."
