few years ago are already becoming
that the wildest dreams are just within reaching distance.
Therefore the narrow and circumscribed views on all
(jucstions that concern us must be cast
the one hand we must not permit ourselves to enter the
era of wildcatling and while we must not so raise the
prices c f our real estate as to make them prohibitive to
the energetic men at home and abroad who are now mak

character a few years ago undreamed of yet, on the
other hand, the close conservatism which has , so far
governed us must be cast aside if the city is to. realty
profit by the tremendous opportunity which is now be
fore us and we, as trustees for the 'generation now
springing up, are to do the full duty which so solemnly
devolves upon us. ' ; j .
We have no fight with any of our neighbors; we do
riot envy them their .growth and we rejoice with them
in their prosperity. But our obligations, which' con
ditions and our own incomparable. situation and produc
tions have thrust upon us we cannot, in Justice to our
selves, longer overlook. That obligation is to be the
pacemaker for all the enterprising cities of the Pacific
coast. The opportunity is now here and in that duty we

A TEST OF PRESIDENTIAL
73 RESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S SOLICITUDE to
L - get only good men in federal office in this state
is highly commendable, and serves to excuse the
long delay in filling some of the. vacancies that have
arisen. But how is this solicitude to be reconciled with
the fact that T. Cader Powell is still retained as United
States marshal for Alaska? Is it less important to ap
point good men in Alaska than in Oregon f Does the
president exact one "standard of characterrin this state
and a different one elsewhere? , t : ' "''
Foimany month's-past every candidate lor appoin
inent to a federal Office in this state has been subjected
to the severest scrutiny. In several instances special
agents Save been sent out from Washington for the ex
press purpose of investigating the past history of such
candidates, and more than once the sleuths of the secret
service have been called on to join in the Search for some
disqualifying blot on the would-be office-holder's record.
Imiortant offices have remained vacant for months,
while this microscopic examination was being made.'
The president has been justified in using the most ex
treme care in making federal appointments in Oregon,
for the state has been honeycombed with official dis
honesty. But the appointment' of Powell , to .office is
equivalent to giving a reward for rascality. He i one
of the worst examples of the corruption that formerly
prevailed among Oregon office-holders. . Roosevelt did
not know Powell's record when the appointment was
made but he knows it now, and knows that he could
scarcely have found a man more unfit or office. lie
was misled because he relied on the representations of a
number of prominent Republicans of this cityamong
them Harvey W. Scott who assured him ..that Powell
was a man of excellent standing and unblemished char
acter. The story of Powell's defalcations during the
five years that he was county clerk is riow as familiar
to the president as to the people of this community, and
the evidence is in his hands. -'' .
Wathingtoa,,disjtaJ
d it ion to his office as marshal Powell had been made a
special disbursing agent for his district, and that the sal
aries of all government officials and employes In the
district would hereafter pass through his hands. Proof
of Powell's dishonesty seems to .have been all that was
needed to bring added trust and honor.
It is now more than eight months since the president
was made acquainted with the facts as to Powell's
career in Portland. It is a source of growing surprise
to all good citizens that the blunder that was made in
appointing Powell to office is not rectified by removing
htm. So long as he is, allowed to emain, it is not
strange that many persons question the sincerity of
Roosevelt's efforts to get only honest men into public
office. ..';.' : , ' ,7 V .''

JOURNEY -OF LEWIS

Journey to McKensie Head.
November II. Accompanied by1 11
men. Captain Clark proceeded along the
beach one mile to a point of rocks "
about 40 feet high, where the hills re
tire, leaving a wide beach (Whites
point) and a number of ponda covered
with waterfowl, between which and the
mountain ta a narrow bottom of alder
and small balsam trees. Beven miles
from the rocks is th entrance of a
creek, or rather a drain, from the ponds
and hills, where is a cabin of Chihooks. "
We wer taken across In a canoe by two
squawe, to each ef whom ws gave a
fish-hook, and then, roasting along the '
bay, paaaed at two miles the low bluff
of a-small hill, below , which are the
ruins of some old huts, and close tq It '
the remains of a whale. , ' "7
Th country Is low, open and marshy.
Interspersed with some high pin and a
thick undergrowth. Five mllea from the
creek we came to a stream 40 yards wide
at low water, which we called Chinook
river. The hills up thla rlvr and to
ward th bay ar not high, but very
thickly covered with large pine of ev
erat species; In many places plnetre
three or four feet in thickness are seen '
growing on the bod lea of large trees,
which, thugh fallen and covered with
moss, wer in part sound. Here we
dined en some brant and plover.' killed
as w cam along, and after crossing in
a boat lying in th sand near some old
houses, proceeded along a bluff of yel
low elay and aoft stone to a little bar',
or harbor, into which a drain fro
some ponds empties. At this hsrbor

rose to hill of to or 10 feet above tha
water. At th distance ot one mile I a
second bay, and a mile beyond It a small
rocky Island in a deep bend, which seem
to afford a very good harbor, where the
