JANUARY 1 1904. THE CEL1LO CANAL AND PORTAGE RAILROAD. After several months of suspense regarding the right of way for the portage railroad, all the owners of the land, with the exception of the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Com- a pany are willing to sell to the state at a reasonable price. The 0. R. & N. Companv will not sell at anv price, fnr T-nilmnri rmrnfKM nnd nnthinsr but a lontr drawn out suit carried to the Supreme Court of the United States and affirmed there will con-pel the companv to give up its owner- ship to the land. The Company and other owners of the required land are tm-iimrr tn coll rliA lnnd nf. n fnir nricft. at once and give a "-ood title, for canal purposes. From all that the Plaikdealer can find out or knows about this lamentable business, the state has acted in bad faith and has attempted to work a shell game on the companv owning about one-half J of the land. The politicians, Repub- licans and Democrats, and especiallv the latter, have talked and talked and held scores of gabfests and plumed as patriots of the first water, while all the time they have attempted to hoodwink the people of the state, The portage railroad graft is only a scheme to rob the taxpavers of West- ern Oregon in the interest of a rail- road combine. The true object is to obtain the right of way and construct the portage railroad at the taxpayers' oner, nnil tbpn Wsp. thp. road for 99 years to a railroad company that is seeking to build trackage into Port- land from the west end of the pro posed portage railroad. This is the true inwardness of the scheme. The O. R. & N. Company officials would be derelict in their duty if they allowed bucu a specious tcueuie tu uc uuicu 1- t T l.A Vn vt1nTvl I nn tlmirlTTiP What, thp individuals ,,ef a ii IxilUiUb UUUliXl 111 JUOW ttuu iwu I manner our Oregon politicians have attempted to secure by franchise; and stranp-e to sav. not a newspaper in fWnn has had the moral conraffe x j .i rrr-rt A such nature that they could not be con to denounce the portage graft ana . , . ... ., - . . , , strued m a rigid mditary sense as orders, flim-fiam methods practiced upon the It is til8 desire of the administration to taxpayers at large. The O. R.&IS. be prepared for any eventuality. Ee company in resisting the building of cently legislation went into effect creat the portage road is simply looking the general staff of the army.

J . b , the laws and the secretary of war is di- it is an open nver inai me promoters, want, the United States will give them an open river. If, as we assert, the grafters want to pull wool over the taxpayers' eyes and have the state provide for them a valoahle raflroad franchise paid for and built by taxes wrung from poor and rich alike, this pet measure most unctuous- ly. pushed -by our -democratic Cover- nor' should -he set aside at the next .session of ' the Legislature. With the Celilo canal project under fair way of success, there is no need or excuse for the taxpayers to be bled . . . r . ., . by Portland grafters under the guise of public good. ROOSEVELT'S GOSPEL OF MORAL On Saturday Secretary Hitchcock told Senators Mitchell and Fulton that it was no use for them to further rto nti.mPnt. nf Asa R ThWon at the La Grande Lad Of- fice. Previous to this, President Roosevelt, to whom the Oregon Sena- tors had appealed, told them his pur- pose was to "stand by the decision made by the Secretary of the Interi- or. And here we have an example of our Oregon delegation standing in with and supporting official corrup- tion and defending a man who had played, either ignorantly or wilfully, a braced eame on the government. If the Senators do not promptly select another man for the place the Presi dent will either select a man himself or the Olace Will be Closed, ine President and Secretary of the In- terior are to be commended for enun- ciating true ivepuoiicau principles, --a? i t t.i: : :i I and we hope, if our Senators continue Conger's last advices the officials here to act as they have acted in the past, were prepared for the news of its sina that the President will take away tnre hy tlie Emperor. Besides, they from them the power to select any man for any office. Take the case of one of our federal office holders in Eoseburg; the man's life is a disgrace t ib Rpnnliliran nartv and a r&- , , i:i j preach upon decency, morality and right living: and yet, he is retained in office, to the disgust of decent Re- publicans and Democrats alike, When we have such a glaring exam- pie m our own city and see and know that our Oregon delegation is stick- ing to the man clo?er than a lean tick to a fat steer, we can hmlly wonder why in this state the Republican nu- - 1 : lMO la t m.. ry election, ror umce o eix weeks he.uv.

RECEIVER BOOTH. The Plaindealer is in receipt of letter from Washington regarding the Receiver of the Roseburg Land Office. Our position is this: Wo have no objection to Mr. Booth as a man of moral character or standing, As a Republican he is, we presume, an average office holder who when in office has nothing to go or say tor the part- who rendered his appoint- ment or election possible. But we do object to his being a director ana stockholder of a powerful timber land company and a federal office holder at the same time. In no state of the Union would such a thing be possible except in Oregon, and only here be- cause the Oregon delegation is afraid of the influence of the Booth-Kelly Lumber Company, and what the men employed by the Company might do to the Republican ticket. It is not good policy nor good Republican poll- tics to continue Booth as Receiver of the Land Office at Roseburg. 1 he continuing of Booth is to put a club in the hands of the Democratic party to beat the Republicans with, booth has had the office for six years and this continuing a man in office for years and years to come while there are scores of men just as good and of ten times more value to the party is a mistake. If receiver pie is cood for Booth for goodness' sake let other men get a chance to take a bite. Ready ror War.

Tlio Oregonian in publishing the above dispatch, yesterday, headed it as follows: "It is now up to Amori ca to make the treaty operative." Yes, and Uncle Sam will make the Russians get out of Manchuria What avail would it be to havo two treaty ports if the entire surrounding country is controlled by Russia. For the past two years the Oregonian has had a very bad attack of Kussiapho- bia, but we expect trom tins time on that American ' free trade" at Mue den and Antung will euro the Ore- gonian of Russian rabies. 1-or tne first time in about fifty years Russia will be up against the "real thing;1 and as we intimated in our last issue. the orders sent to San Francisco and Vancouver to have troops in readi ness for instant orders for sailing, points more towards the Manchurian ports than it does to Panama to whip the Columbian greasers. The way the business now looms up, it seems that Russia will have to get out of Manchuria or fight Japan, England and the United States.

It might appear, on account oi wis measure being introduced by republl- cans, that it would be considered a partisan measure, but a full review of ry- senator Latimer of boutn caro- lina has formulated a bill, and is , i . l i V 1 1 n 1 j aDoui to mtroauce it. in ine senate, nrovidjnr in a Slm,lar manner for a ' -tea. of cation i permanent road Duiming oetween tne United States and the various states or their civil subdivisions. All these bills agree as to the principle of na- i . . . tional aid, the only points of disagree- ment being in the matter of details in legislation especially pertaining to the execution of tho work when the money is once appropriated to carry on the same. The Latimer bill pro vides for a commission of three per sons to be appointed by tho President of the United States. This might result in some political pressure be ing applied in tho appointment of the commissioners or in tho execution of the work. Jt is considered desirable that the entire question, befog an in dustrisl one, should be developed along nonpartisan Jines similar to the way in which the frge dejjyery of mail has been developed. So far, the work done by the United States gov ernment through the office of public roid inquiries has been entirely non partisan, and tho indications so far in reference to tho enlargement of this work are that it will bo kept bo in tho future. It is probable that Senator Lati mer h to be one of lho strongest ad yocates of this general measure among members of either house of Congress. Ho attended the St. Louis convention for good roads, April 27 tp 20, at which time ho made a strong speech favoring national aid. Since ien he has been to Iowa, addressing he people there on tho samo subject and has been very favorably received. During tho last political campaign? in tho utato ho stumped the entire ritato on tho good roads proposition and was supported everywhere by his peo ple. Within the last two weeks ho ias been to the state of Delaware, on the request of tho new senator from that state, Dr. L II Ball, and has , dis cussed the road question in every county in that state, and reports that tho people are with him on the issue. He will go, on the 20th and 21st of January, to Little Rock, Ark., to ad dress what is expected to be the argest state convention ever assem- iled to consider this or any othor in dustrial question in tho United States, on which occasion ho will elaborate fully upon tho principles of his bill. and especially that part which per tains to national aid. flORE DEMAGDOUERY. The Lane County Leader says: "Senator R. A. Booth refused to ac cept either mileago or salary for bis ser vice during tho Bpccial legislative ses sion. " Yes, and the newspapers of Oregon have givin him ten thousand dollars worth of free advertising as a patriot instead of giving him credit for try ing to pull the wool over the eyes of the dear people. It will be a bad day for the state and nation if men who are monopolists and can afford by reason of their interests to give their services free are retained in or elect ed to office.

Attention, Prune Growers. Salem, Ore., Jan. 5, '04. Gentlemen: At the growers' confer ence held in Salem, Jnly 25th, a motion was carried requesting the prune grow-! ere' Associations to send three deb-gates each to a meeting to be held on the sec ond TucAiay in January, 1901, to form some plan 'for a co-operative or central selling agency. As the annual meeting of the Northwest Fruit Growers occurs on next Tuesday, Jan. 13th (at Washington St., Portland, Ore.) the date above chosen, it is thought best by our Directors to request the associations to ingtiuct their delegates to meet at that time and place. Furthermore, that all prune growers who possibly can do eo should attend this meetinz of fruit growers of the Xorthwwt. Prune men, while representing the largest item among the various fruits produced in the Northwest, have heretofore been conspicions by their abtreoce. No grow er can afford to miss the helpfulness of the discussions and papers which will bo afforded by attendance at this meet-! ing. i We understand a red need fare on the certificate plan will be available. A time and place for the conference above referred to will be provided and an nounced at the meeting on Monday and also on Tuesday morning, and all grow ers n attendance will probably !e in vited to participate in the conference.
