SATURDAY, - - DECEMBER 28, 1895
TWO VIEWS OF IT.
-. ;The Day Bros., contractors for the
building of the (Jaecade locks, nave neen
having a tilt with Major James Poet,
engineer officer in charge. It seem?,
according to the Days, that Major Post
wanted to have their contract annulled
eo that the engineer corps could dilly
dally along with the work for the next
twenty year", a the c rps have done in
the pafrt. The P;iyi. have done more
work since ihy commenced operations
than had been done previously by the
corps, and at tnnch less cost, and the
prospect of, seeing the boats pass throneh
the locks on the first day of March, 1896,
was too much for the engineer officer,
hence this longing to bare the Days
ousted: Vancouver Columbian.
This, we think, is hardly jast. While
it may be true that the Days have done
adore work than had previously been
done since they have had charge at the
Locks, it must be remembered that they
have everything in their, favor, with, a
large fund to draw (from, and are not
compelled to work with. miserly appro
priations as the government engineers
had to do. Men like Major Jones and
Lieutenant Yonng said over and over
again that had they been permitted to
be allowed any equitable appropriation
and been guaranteed that sufficient
mjoney would follow in succeeding years,
the matter of completing the locks
would be a comparatively easy .thing
and occupy but a moderate period of
time. The Days have been turned
loose on a million and a half of. dollars,
and besides-are- given the assistance of
the resident engineers men like Lieut.
Taylor, whoso ability and integrity are
ar.queetioned.
"To many people the attack made by
Mj. Day upon Major Post comes In bad
taste. If the Days succeed in opening
the locks by March 1st, then almost
anything they should say would be u.i
criticlsed ; but in view of the uncer
tainty that exists with regard to the
locks' completion, and the belief of many
people that March 1st will not see them
done, the charges made by Mr. Day do
not carry with, them the commendation
of Eastern Oregon people.
.' Arryjng the important measures which
have been introduced,!- Congress is one
by Senator Squire which provides that
jurisdiction be given United Stales
courts to try all questions cf law and
fact which affect the right of any indi
vidual to enter and acquire government
lands when the land in question is of the
value of $500 or more. The. jurisdiction
of the courts is to be concurrent with
the jurisdiction of the land department.
It is provided that whenever the right
of any applicant to' enter government
land is questioned or contested, the ap
plicant may, at any time thereafter, re
view all Issues at question by filing in
- the United States land office a petition
for the removal of the case to the United
States circuit court; but not until his
rights shall have been passed upon in a
decision of the register and receiver o"
t le local land . office or in the department
at Washington. It is believed tl e
measure would prove a beneficial one,
though the Spokesman-Review expresses
a fear that corporations might be able
to take advantage of the statute for the
purposes of delay. The bill has the
merit of doing away with much of the
red tape. that is now required before the
- settling of land questions by the depart
ment at Washington..,
x .The next state campaign, up to the
-tiine.;" .the ; Republican nominations are
X nqide, promises to be the liveliest Ore
gon' has seen- for many a year. The
failure of Binger Hermann to secure the
chairmanship of the River and Harbor
committee has been taken as deciding
that, he - will not be invincible in the
' next convention. Hence -there is much
activity among budding politicians, and
many men have a yearning desire to ap-
pear in Washington as the successor of
the suave Hermann. Although his
failure to secure the coveted chairman
ship, does not give that certainty to his
-re-nomination that Euccess would have
done, yet when nominating day comes
around Hermann will be found with a
goodly' share of votes to hoist him into
favor. There 'are many things more
enre in this world than that Binger Her
mann will not be his own successor in the
next' congress." - " - ' '
Oregon sheriffs who are so discontent
ed' with their lot " should move to Idaho,
where, according to a decision by the
state ecpreme court, it was decided that
a sheriff can collect mileage of 35 cents
a mile each way for serving a warrant
and for taking a prisoner from the place
of arrest before a court or committing
magistrate. With: an . inducement for
traveling of 35 cents a miie, the average
sheriff would he found very little of the
t me in his office. -
EACH FOR ITS. TOWN
Salem Statesman: Let Salem add to
the. celerity .and magnitude of her re
t nrning prosperity, commencing with the
New'.Year, by pushing her -various edu
cational institutions more vigorously
Let us have 500 students for the various
departments of Willamette university
next year; and 1000 within a few years;.
They" can- he had.' It- will only take
united, persistent work.
Arlington Record: While there is
still time iur some unforseen calamity
to befall us, still we cau look ahead with
reasonable assurance to a bonntifal bar
vest in '96,which means much for Arling
ton and surrounding country. Prospects
could be no brighter at this season than
they are. Indifferent farming has be
come a thing of the past and this season
the farmers went to work in dead earn
est, plowing their land and' sowing the
grain in firet class etrle. G.'A.'Shurte
who has a- good opportunity to know,
says there is an increase of fifty per cent
in fall sown grain this year over any
previous year and that the condition is a
hundred per cent- better.- The abund
ant snowfall even . this early, indicates
that the moisture' will be sufficient to
insure a -good . crop next season. Of
conrse the market value of the crop'enn
only be guessed at bnt ; it :is not likely
that the price will be lower than at
present, A good crop now will place
our county in aJ more prosperous condi
tion than" it has ever kndwnr lv "-
