SECRETARY BALLIXGEIt'S RE . , - , .-' PORT V r pN VIEW of the vU discussion :f, conservation policies. Secre tary Balllnccrs report, just made public. is of unusual in terest. He makes no reference to the controversy ; between him and Chjef Forester Pincbot, nor to the Glavls or other charges against hlm self.' The most Interesting portions r of his report are those relating to ' " tbe disposition of coal lands and wa ter powers. . As to the former, he follows Roosevelt's recommendation that coal deposits -on. pubjic lands should be. leased, or sold, on terms fair both to the government and the lessees or purchasers. He .would segregate .the land itself from the coal deposits therein or thereunder, treating the land the same as. other public land, subject ' to 'operations ' necessary' to develop the coal mines; these he would handle without ref- - - erence to the land itself. ., He would "separate the right to mine from the I"' title-to the soil." ; And he would es ' tablish the same policy with respect to oil and gas. - He specifically rec- ognizes these products " as ' public utilities and says that disposition of . ' v them should be made. In terms of the quantity of the product extracted rather than of acreage. 7 1 " The secretary reports that "in an . tlcipatlon of legislation to prevent -the acquisition of power sites on the public domain by private persons or corporations with a view of monopo lizing or adversely controlling them against the public '" interest, there have been ' temporarily withdrawn from", all forms of entry 603,355 v acres,' covering all locations known , to possess power possibilities on. tm appropriated lands -tiutside of ,na tional forests." He 1 recommends that the title to these lands, be fe served in -the national government and only' an easement granted, not -V. to exceed 30 years; with an option - for -renewal, -lor. the -use of the wa ter powers, a moderate charge being made therefor, all easements and rights to be forfeitable if not used according to contract.; S"V in" both these important' matters : "the secretary appears to be in favor .of a. due - measure of-conservation, and to have the puhllc Interest fore V most in mind. He says nothing about the possible desirability. of the states, rather than the. federal gov 3t.T ernment, taking control of. the wa- ter powers; perhaps as to those sl iJ.' noted on the public . .domain they conld not. yj ... There are in national v forests 6,057,400 acres: of unsurveyed rail & road lands, of which 5,178,420 are .4V credited to the Northern Pacific Cr railroad, on which tbe railroads pay " ji ' no taxes. It is for this reason that the railroads fail to- perfect title. " The secretary recommends a tax of 5 mills on a "valuation offlO an Tt acre, which would yield $300,000 an Af nually. This is certainly a ' very small tax, for many of these lands are worth from 50to$100an acre. Congress should certainly provide for the survey of these lands, and they should be subject to state and local taxation, or else be declared forfeited. This scheme of tax dodg jng has been carried on long enough. The report deals with numerous other topics of public Interest, and it bears evidence throughout of a close and careful study by the sec- retary.of the affairs in his charge; RIDIXO THE EBB TIDE AN ILLUMINATING fact from the special election in the Sixth Illinois congressional district is the heavy vote cast for the insurgent Republican. He "made his campaign for congress on the "issue of opposition to Cannon Ism; and had agaiest him the regu lar -. Republican organization, the powerful influence of Lortmer and the secret cooperation of the Demo cratic organization with the regular Republican nominee. The insur gent Republican was without organ ization, without campaign funds, and In the beginning, almost without friends. Speaker Cannon was brought Into the district, and in a erwtn he openly advised Repub licans who could not sappon. in rr f alar Republican to vote for the Imocratlc rttdMate. In the face, rowtfr. cf tr? extraordinary odds Ci!af.t Mm. the lnrget.t polkd rar!r to thirds as mny votes as th r rlr Republic", reeervtug a ' ciuch brsrl.-r vote- than did the Iw.nn.-rst Eir''''CJog the outcom-, t- r CTi-ifO Nr ?" the 71 .fl, fft ter the lnrr ct '"fere rE j.. j ! j. ,'i-t a ii'tl fcrtt'T i.,nr th. mnri" tor the Cannon ca bal. It adds "with Cannon and Tammany working together m Washington, with Lorlmer (Repub lican) and Sullivan (Democrat) so close In the Sixth Illinois that their followers can scarcely tell one of them from the other. With voters In both the Republican and Democrat id ranks flocking to the insurgent staudard regardless of party labels, the situation is full of great possi bilities." Though defeated, the Insurgents campaign is a victory. It Is a fore runner of larger events yet to bap u ia in hid home state of Il linois that this revolt against Can nonlsm takes place. It illustrates the growth of the Insurgent senti ment and exemplifies tno Binuu. nnurhnnlim Is reduced. In that l must fuse with Democratic reactionaries In order to survive. Th smna ar In the ElcV.

They cannot survive, for they are In antagonism to the popu- lar interest ana me wibubb ui iu Their onnnot endure because they are in violation of the fixed laws of justice. and common sens PENDLETON AND THE OPEN RIVER THE Pendleton Commercial asso ciation is wrestling with the open river problem. To resi dents of the inland empire no Issue is so vital. Even the reclama tion orHTw with its vast possibili ties does not equal it In importance. An open uoiumoia wim wuuct.uo trolley lines would be of infinite value to' Pendleton and similarly sit uated cities, as well as to the coun try of which they are the distribut ing-centers. . The natural effort of the railroads is to maintain , the highest possible distributive rates out of Portland. By that means ! they force interior buyersto purchase more largely in ooa? ond r!ve the comDaniesthe liUV - - benefit of the long. haul. The higher the distributive rate rrom romanu to Pendleton, La Grande, Walla nrono nni nnlnta further east, the f i a tJm Mr larger will be the volume of freight westbound over transconwaeuta. lines., It is survival, and the nat-.,-oi mottinriq railroads will employ. hWhen later on, the Panama canal is open to commerce, ana inter oceanic competition with the trans continental lines becomes acute, this resource by the railroads will be em ployed to its limit .. But an open river and connecting electric lines cannot be controlled. An open Columbia is one transporta tion agency that cannot be monopo lized. It is ,a force for, compelling low distributive rates that, is with out equal. It is Ihe most priceless of all the, activities, for. which Pen dleton or other inland empire cities can work, for the power to lower transportation rates is the power that does most for, the upbuild of cities and communities. It Is the one way in which inland empire cities can get full benefit of the Pan ama canal when it opens, and Pen dleton is wise in beginning the agi tation now. That city will do well to impress upon its resident con gressman the full Importance of sup porting those men and measures that will hasten the opening of the Co lumbla. T THE NORTHWESTERN COnNQ THE DISPATCHES have it that the Chicago & Northwestern is about to build to the Pacific . . coast. Though the officials deny it. the statement is that a stock Issue of $30,000,000 is about to be made and that it will be used in building the first 1500 miles. The Issue is the same in amount that was made by the Milwaukee when that Important line began building to the coast. It Is very probable that the an nouncement Is true. For a long time engineers havebeen at work in west ern regions that the Northwestern would be likely to traverse on Its way to a Pacific terminal, and ru mors have persistently connected these engineers and their operations with that line. Passes and routes in southern Idaho have been the scene of several surveys, and two or three months ago it was specifically stated that they represented the effort of the Northwestern to find a line to Portland er some other northwestern terminal.. All these reports are not mere gossip, and are omen that If the announcement now made Is not authentic. It is only a matter of time nntll there will be announcement that construction work in such an enterprise is about to begin. The Pacific northwest has become too important a factor In the coun try's Industrial and commercial lire . - v. in- rtTerlooked-br the great railroad lines. It 1 the one section la the nalon that did not suffer seri ously from the 107 panic It is a rKioa with enormous producing power, bat with a comparatively lim ited number -of producers.

Devel opment of the whole northwest re gion Is Indued still at the Infantile stage, and growth and population scarcely begun. All these things keen eyed railroad magnaiea iw, even before we do,' and therefore nv rittiilre terminals on the Pacific. The Northwestern wjll come, and Us coming, regardless of tbe present an nouncement, will not be long post poned. THE LORDS AND THE I1UDGET THE- HOUSE of lords will proD ably reject the -Lloyd-George budget, and then the liberal party in control of the govern-. mAnr.- will anneal to the country for ... - aa a. warrant to pass not only the present budget but all budgets .ana an im nnrtant leirlslatlon without interfer ence by the house of lords. If they win the veto power of the lords will be practically annihilated, for they cannot stand against me pupm. ,ni Tf he llherals are beaten the budget as now proposed Is beaten for the present. It win oe me warmest election Great Britain has had In many a day. A ernd manr British statesmen would like to bring on the issue of practically eliminating the house of tnrA. dtvesttnr it ef all legislative power. Gladstone was at times of this mind, and even uosDerry nan talked of lther mending or ending the house of lords. Two years ago ct,. Henrr CamDbell-Bannerman's kJA avw. f " proposal to deprive tbe lords of the veto power was passea twice ny iuo Another bie liberal ma jority would pretty nearly put the lords out of business. Prmeherrv haB warned tne loras that In rejecting the budget they are w.ibinsr into a trap, or rather a net spread .openly In their sight, that they are playing into tne nanas oi Mnnhia-vellian Liberal leaders, that beating the budget is to beat them selves out of lordships, uairour, as much opposed to the budget as any of them, has warned them to the same effect. Yet it is predicted that the budget will be rejected by a large majority. It Is regarded by leading British statesmen as the greatest constitutional contest and crisis since 1832, some say since 1688. But the lords evidently believe that the liberals cannot sweep the country, nor even carry it, on this Issue. Perhaps not; there are mul titudes of Englishmen of the poorer classes, worklngmen, femall farmers and tradesmen, who yet, as well as in Thackeray's time "dearly love a lord" A recent by-election was a small straw Indicating liberal defeat. But If 'defeated now, Lloyd-George's program will not always be de feated, any more than .Gladstone's home rule bill was defeated for good and all because It and he were de feated once. TJ 4 THE BROADWAY. BRIDGE THE PEOPLE who use the har bor want the bridges to open at all times. Those who cross the bridges want the draws kept closed during Intervals of an hour each, morning and evening. And there you are. If one is ac commodated the other roust be in convenienced, and vice versa. Portland is a city of 250.000 peo ple and fapldly growing. Its re sources are enormous. Ordinary foresight and the application of or dinary intelligence would give con venience to both sides cf this bridge controversy. Little toy bridges that must be opened every time a tiny riv er boat passes up or down do not har monize with Portland. One great high bridge did nearly all the vast transit business for two or three decades between the great cities of Brooklyn and New York. It was a bridge in tune with the communities it served. It is Illustration of how the Portland transit problem should be solved. There ought not to be delays In the harbor, because It is harmful to the port and Portland. There ought not to be delays on the bridges, be cause it is harmful to the people and the city. There need be neither if the greatness and future of Portland be comprehended and rationalism be applied. The high bridge at Broad way would be no delay to shipping, almost without a delay. " wouM carry H the overhead traffic" be tween the west side and the north balf'of the east side. "It is designed on lines in harmony with a greater Portland. It is the one bridge that i conceived on intelligent lines and a rational regard tor the future re quirements of this great city. Those who see and understand Portland aa It is to be fully realize the price less advantage this bridge would be to the city. Its opening would in atantl eolve a Urge part of the street car trouble, settl- a large part of tbe bridge t'"' "J be a move of lwtlsg benefit to the whole city.

JK 1 VtA Yat"lll FAMOUS GEMS OF PROSE Jff.r. D..I By Brief speech upon presenting to the United States, In behalf of the heira of Joseph Coolidge of, boston. the desk upon which Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence, In tha United States house of representatives, April 22, 1880. . ' The genuineness of this relio haa been authenticated, by the autograph Inscrip tion upon it by Jefferson himself, which states that, this' writing desk.from drawings of his own, was made by Ben Randall, cabinet-maker of Philadelphia, with whom he lodged on his arrival In that city in May, 1776, and is the iden tical one on which he wrote the Declar ation of Independence. The resblutions which I have offered propose that thla desk be deposited, for safe keeping, in the department of state. A similar resolution was adopt ed by congress In 1843, upon the oc casion of the presentation to the United States by. a citizen of Virginia of the sword of Washington and the staff of Pranklin. There is now confided to the" keeping of. the nation, with the sword of Washington and the cane of Franklin, the desk of Jefferson. What memories crowd upon us with the mention of these names.- Washing ton, the soldier, whose sword was drawn for the Independence of his coun try Franklin, the philosopher, the ben efactor of his race. Who with simple maxima pointed out the road to wealth, and who disarmed the lightning and the thunderbolt; Jefferson, the accom plished and enthusiastic acholar, whose marveloua genius and masterly pen gave form to that Immortal paper which proclaimed liberty to all mankind. These are names never to be forgotten. These men were tho founders of the republic. Their name and fame aro se cure and In the centuries which are to follow will ba treasured by a grateful and loving people among their choicest possessions. - Mr. Speaker, the nation gladly accepts Clemens . beet-known- books are "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer."

Tho article Itself may bo Incon siderable, but with this simple desk we associate a grand achievement. TJpon it was written the great charter of civil liberty, tho declaration of American In dependence. We pay to the heroic hand who signed that wager of battle the honors which are paid to the heroes of the-tattlefe!ld. it was not valor alone which secured to us self government. The leaders In the revolt against the tyranny and the established institutions of the old world had courage of opinion and were full of mature wisdom and In corruptible patriotism. - The men who signed the paper pledging their Uvea, their fortunes, and their sacred honor in support of the declaration, and who made their fearless appeal to God and the world In behalf of the-rights of mankind- were both lion hearted and noble minded. Upon this desk was written. In words aa pure and true as the word of In spiration, that document which opened up "a new era In the history of the civilised world." - Its fit resting plaea Is with the nation's choicest treaaurea. It is a precious memorial of Jefferson, more eloquent and suggestive than, any statue of -marble or bronee which may commemorate 'hia deeds. In accepting it In the name of tha nation we recog nize the .elevated private character, the eminent virtue, the profound knowledge, the lofty statesmanship, and tho sin cere patriotism of Jefferson, and Wo honor him as tho father of popular gov ernment and aa the great-apostle of lib erty. To the pledge of safe custody with which wa accept this gift, wo Join tha solemn promise that with still greater fidelity we will guard the Inher itance Of free Institutions, which has coma to ua .through the valor of Wash ington and the wisdom of Jefferson, and that wa will faithfully transmit, . un dlmmed and unbroken, the richest lega cies ftbrrty and the union. 1 , '. dians from getting' their gooda and wagons they buried the , former ' and burned the latter, and after undergoing many hardships they reached Goose Lake valley.; .
