Forty one employes of the bar dredge Chinook have quit their jobs because of an over-supply of A" with the provision of this section. rerning the legality of withdrawing public lands from settlement ' 1 ': , The director of the United States treologienl sur vey hasreeoinmeuded that all latds .within half a mile on each side of the cent er lino of Salmon river, Okaiuwtu i county, Wash., together with the water flowing on them; be withdrawn from further dispo sition, as they are requiml for engineering works contemplated under the provisions of the act for the reclamation of arid lands. Mr, Campbell de clared, however, that there is no authority to make such executive withdrawal of. public, lands within a state as will reserve the waters of a stream flowing over them from appropriation under the laws of the state, or will in any manner interfere with its laws relating to the control, appropriation, use, or distribution of water. , He based his opinion upon section H of the re clamation act, which states that in carrying out the provisions of the act there. shall be no inter ference "with the laws of any state or territory relating to its control, appropriation, use,' or dis tribution of water used in irrigation, 6r any vested right acquired thereunder," but that the procedure shall be in "conformity with such laws." A with drawal of V waters from appropriation under state and territorial laws would be in direct con- that sacred American dish, hash They have not been content to quit, to strike and leave the ship, but they have seen fit as-well to 'abuse an article of - "V ' - , diet that has heretofore been almost as much rever enced as old glory itself. Their attitude in this partic ular respect, will get for them mighty little public sympathy, for there is no American citizen who has the right, under the constitution or otherwise, to speak ill of hash. ' Christopher Columbus discovered America, but, compared with the man (!) who discovered hash,r he was a rank lobster. It will be perceived that Co lumbus could be referred to as a lobster only under very great provocation. Should he rise from his - grave and seek to overshadow in importance the person who discovered hash, he would be cried down i it. a : i- " i.. i i l j uy me Ajueneau. peopie as uiuugu av mm uuirageu coucern cm - the flag. The discovery of America was n great and crowning stunt, but it took some one of greater re sources than an Italian to discover hash. With all due credit to our departed friend Columbus, his ac complishment sinks into insignificance compared with that of the person who added hash to the list of great culinary achievements. . " ' We all of us. entertain the kindliest of feeling for the father of his country.. He took us awav from England and made it possible for us to dis corer Oregon and hold the ,1905 fair. But who amongst us licks his chops when he thinks of Wash ington ? The first president released us from bond age and all that sort of thing, but we couldn't eat him. Hash is greater than Washington ever dared be and we're not belittling Washington, either, when we say so. , We might go on and compare all our great inen Jackson, Lincoln, McKinley, C. J. Curtis and all the rest with hash; but it would only be waste of mt. iampoeu auvises, nevenneiess, inai ine lanu be withdrawn, so that the rights of the United States as proprietor of the land moy lie protected so far as the reservation of land will protect and preserve such rights. , THE ASTORIA 1904 DIRECTORY. The interests of 'the Astorian Publishing Com pany in the directory business have been transfer red to the R. L." Polk Company. While it is true that the local company was first to commence work on a directory this year, it is also true that the R. L. Polk Company has no suierior in the business in which it is engaged all over the United States, and that it is better equipped by reason of long experience to accomplish .perfect results than any words. None compares with hash. Men grow old and feeble, but who ever heard "of feeble hash? Eventually they peter out and die, but hash sur vives. None is too young uor none too old to par take of it. Of what other article of diet can this be truthfully said Mush, you sav! But what's mush? merely crushed oats or mangled wheat, a poor, shriveling dish with which everybody's famil iar, 'absolutely lacking in those mysteries so essen tial to greatness. Hash stands out in bold relief on our national horizon like a Japanese battleship on the Yellow sea, and all else pales beside it. For a century or more none has dared traduce hash, yet away off in this remote corner of the globe 41 men, with shocking lese majeste, have had the temerity to quit their jobs because of the quantities with which they have been provided at their meals, We had hash tor breakfast for seven days," they whimper "for seven consecutive days." "Too much hash!" What a paradox ! There are millions of persons in this old world, but who ever before heard of too much hash? It's ridiculous; there's no such thing as too much hash. Every man with an ounce of brains fecLs toward hash as he feels toward money the more he gets the more he wants. ' Those men from the Chinook may offer the hash complaint in explanation of their action, .but we don t Relieve it. There must be something else be hind this strike, for too much hash is an impossibility. "While it would have been a matter of pride to have published a creditable directory, yet we are assured that the work now being compiled by the R, L. Polk Company will be a volume of which its patrons and the city may well be proud. The Astorian Publishing Company is grateful for the liberal patronage offered, and for the manyj expressions of loyalty to the home institution which haVe been made, and, while making a retiring bow, begs to recommend the directory company to the good graces of the public. ' " The compiling, editing, printing and binding of a work of this nature is an undertaking of much greater magnitude than most people imagine, and as all the work is being done and will lie done in this city, it will be in reality an Astoria directory. Meanwhile The Astorian will continue to be the newsiest nevspaer outside of Portland published in the state, and its production demands nil the energies of its. force. Perhaps it was to be expected that the 'French cabinent would be astonished, even pained, over the great lack of politeness on the part of Japan in striking a deadly blow without first giving notice of her intention. But apart from Franee the opinion of the world is with Japan in carrying on war ac cording to the rules of war, and not according to the latest rules on etiquette. Japan saw Tier opportunity and empraced it. She caught Admiral Alexietf napping, and if his rousing from slumbers was pain fully strenuous, the fault is, or was, his own. It was his business to know that war is just what Gen eral Sherman described it to be in only three terse words, but expressive of the whole subject. ' UNIFORM WATER LAWS. An interesting instance of the wav in which the operations of the reclamation service may assist in securing uniform state laws is contained in the fact that Governor Chamberlain has recently appointed a commission to draft a bill which will modify the existing water laws of this state in such a way as to make .them harmonize with the provisions of the lwlnmation act Need for similar revision of water laws is felt in other states, and it is hoped that Oregon's example will be followed in all the states affected by the r reclamation act. That such revision would simplify the problems of the recdamation service is a fact accentuated by an opinion recently delivered by Mr. Fred Campbell, assistant attorney general, con- The Portland Journal is in error in accusing the Oregonian of stealing President Cleveland's article from the Saturday Evening Post. The article was sent out by the Associated Press from Philadelphia and was received over the wires by The Astorian as well as by the Oregonian and all other Associated Press newspapers. The Journal has made a bad guess. The annual number of the West Coast and Pnget Sound Lumberman is just out. It is complete in every detail and its , advertising columns denote that it is appreciated by the lumbering interests of the east as well as of the coast. It is a most credit able. edition and its publisher, Frank B. Cole, is deserving of commendation. Now that we can read about a real war, the ac count of the proceedings of the St. Louis convention will not be as interesting. Bourke Cockran begins his second jwlitical career by calling Uncle Sam "the hoodlum of nations." '. Mr. Gaines did not tell how long it took to count those 13,000,0(X) microbes on that dollar bill. . Russia should hurry to get in her Avar loan be fore Japan does any more work. ' i i! 'I i WWW ( C0RATING rl Sal ' ....
