The First Year PRESIDENT Hoover no doubt hopes that is first year will prov eto be the hardest. The coin has indeed been rough for one who was elected by the largest vote ever gtfven" a presidential candidate. In dealing with Congress the pres- 1 A11 . 1 mm. - . iaenc nas naa poor success, aeraenment, and partly because of the treachery of one who ifrould have led the Hoover forces in the senate, Borah of Idaho. After- campaigning diligently for the election of Mr. Hoover, Borah was one of the earliest to join in the cruerilla warfare against him. This defection was inexcusable; for "' fciicvt unaicin.c aiiu gitmrnr service to nis country Borah might have become the leader of the Hoover bloc in the senate and made the administration a success in a legis lative way as it is well on the road to becoming in an execu tive way. President Hoover started out briskly, giving a Roosevel- tian assertiveness that was refreshing. His stride has short ened as the year progressed, but Hoover is still the positive, individual force in his administration. He will receive the .credit and the blame for the farm relief bill which was pass ed at his behest and according to his wishes. He has kept aloof from the tariff controversy, unwisely we believe, for what the country and congress needed wag a firmer "follow up" leadership after proclaiming his formula of tariff revi sion in his first message. So far as the administration of government affairs is concerned a new impulse has been felt throughout the fed eral establishment. Vigorous law enforcement, r'ean, incor ruptible administration, constructive work for public wel fare have characterized the Hoover administration. The ap pointment of numerous commissions has been for the pur pose of fact-finding, in the belief that when the true facts re disclosed the remedy will be apparent. I The president's success in the field of foreign affairs (has been gratifying, though not complete. He quickly es tablished good relations with Premier MacDonald, restoring better feeling between the United States and Great Britain .after some rather irritating differences growing out of the Geneva conference. The London parley, if it lives up to the Hoover ideal, will accomplish much for world peace and for for economic relief to the nations; but its final conclusions are still uncertain. President Hoover's appointments in the foreign field have been among the poorest he has made. The diplomatic service has almost been wrecked by the type he has selected for the important ambassadorial positions. The appointment cf Mr. Johnson, minister to China, is the only one which oc curs to us now which measures up to the high standards into which our diplomatic service ought to grow. The three major positions: England, France and Germany are in untrained j tnd, we fear, in some respects, incompetent hands. Mr. Hoover is succeeding as a good working president. He has not fulfilled the high hopes which were entertained of the dawning of a new day, but he has gotten on about as r ell as any one could with the congressional menagerie he has to work with. We note editorial comment from friendly sources still withholds final appraisal on his probable rating 3 president. The Yakima Republic says: "He would be a courageous individual who would attempt to evaluate the period in its relation to the future." And The Oregonian which sees the president working as air engineer on a long-time planning, admits: "One drawback to Hoover's prestige In the eyes ot the people Is the fact that his methods and the magnitude of his undertakings per mit only few completed results; in his first year." We are somewhat mori? inclined to think that the pres ident is using the first year to find himself and to feel out the country. We shall be surprised if a man of his positive temper does not become more forceful as time goes on. Filter Construction Should Proceed jllTHILE the city council. needs to protect the city's inter I f f est when it comes to vacating the alley for the new water company filter plant yet it would be a serious mistake to interpose vexatious delays on a project which has now happily reached the stage of beginning construction. The company has been panned and razzed for not getting start ed. Now when it is ready to begin it should not be ham pered and handicapped and irritated. An abundance of pure water for Salem is a necessity, and while we might get along with the temporary arrangements we now have, there Is no reason to harrass the company in proceeding with the improvement which is necessary under any type of owner ship. , Nearly a year ago we urged the wisdom of the city's acquiringvthe plant and then putting in needed improve ments. The city failed to act, so now the wise course is to let the filter plant be constructed by the water company. Perhaps it may cost the city more when it comes to taking the plant over but that Is the price of the city's continued delay and neglect; and a real indication of how it may be penalized in the future unless it proceeds as rapidly as the charter allows, toward the ultimate goal of municipal own ership of the water plant. The Joseph-Mannix Findings PENDING the final adjudication by the supreme court of the disbarment proceedings against George W. Joseph and Thomas Mannix, it is probably out of place for news papers to comment upon the findings submitted by the ref erees who heard -the testimony and arguments and have now submitted their report to the supreme court. The con clusions of the referees and the opinion issued in justifying their conclusions should satisfy the people of Oregon that th.t,ee judes who heard the cases: Skipworth, Norton and Wilson, have acted without fear or favor, determined to render impartial and adequate justice. , . In the opinion there is no hedging, there is no compro mise, there is no evidence of political audition. The referees handled what was regarded as a ticklish question fearlessly, but with open minds. Whether the supreme court will ratify ih? '"?din8 we do not know; but the state is indeed in debted to Judges Skipworth, Wilson and Norton for their pamstaking and conscientious service in the settlement of one of the most complicated politico-legal issues that has been raised In Oregon's long history.

After building two wagons, the woodwork of which was made by John Enslev. mv father anil my self completed them, and after running John Sedgwick's suear orchard and making sufficient sugar for the trip, and getting two buffalo guns made at Bran fel's of Abbington, we started on the fifth dav ot March. 1R47. from Smlthfield, Indiana, for Ore gon.

"The captain made It very pleasant for ns on the steamer, ho being an old acquaintance of toy father, having formerly car ried a steamer load of produce for my father during his trading ca reer from eastern India tfa up the Mississippi to different places. "Wo crossed orer the falls at Louisville, Ky., and one or two steamboats raced us all the way to St. Louis, one coming In a few lengths behind, as we landed. "At St. Louis ws laid In sup plies for the Journey, among the rest, some salmon hooks, to catch salmon on the Columbia. The laugh came in afterward about the salmon hooks, as we found on our arrival that salmon very sel dom bit at books. "Here at St. Louis we sold slz bushels of hickory nuts that we were carrying with us to eat on the plains, finding we had no room for them. We bought bar lead for three and one half cents per pound and powder for nine teen cents per pound. "We left St. Louis on the steamer 'Meteor for Bt. Joseph. Mo. It was said that there were three hundred steamboats lying at St. Louise when we left. At Island No. 7, on the Missouri river, a few miles below Lexing our boat burst both her boil ers. After patching the boilers, the boat could not stem the cur rent, so we landed at Lexington, where we bought some oxen, and crossed by land to Independence, Mo., and bought our flour for the trip at the Blue Mills, the prop erty of Colonel Owens, who was kiUed about this time in a battle with the Mexicans at Chihuahua. "After we arrived at Indepen dence, Mo., my father's money J. 1 i. w w I I . ..":-:v. . cx rx?Vf running short, be took in an ex cellent young man from Texas by tho name of Elijah Patterson, who furnished one yoke ot oxen and one yoke of cows, which made us a very good outfit. From Independence we made our way to Indian Grove, our next camp on the line of Indian territory (now Kansas). Here Patterson was elected captain of 21 wagons and we rolled out for Oregon. "At our next camp three men, who had been out on the Santa Fe road for the remains of a man who had been murdered for his money, stayed all night at our camp. "We crossed Kaw river, near where, I am told, the present Kansas City Is situated. "On Little VermUIon we burled a man who started with us sick. Just before we crossed South Platte riyer we saw our first buf falo. There seemed to be a square of eight or ten miles of them trav eling north. We killed several choice buffalo here, our hunters killing; them as they crossed the river. While gathering up our cattle) at this place, we found a gun and saotpoucu in the tall grass. The Pawnee Indians had waylaid a man hunting stock. One shot broke his arm, which held his gun, and snot her cut the strap of his shot pouch. This happen ed In the company ahead ot us.
