Nearly every law favoring any of these great interests must be secured on a trade of some kind. What Eastern Oregon sheepmen need. Western Or egon prune growers don't need. What Western Oregon hopgrowers need. Eastern Oregon wheatralsers do not need, and there you are! Legis lators may be honest and able and sincere, but If they are not good traders, their labors are fruitless. Some day a line will be struck through the map. severing the east from the west and making a great state on either side of the Cascade range. Dr. W. G. Cole, of Umutllla county, has made an ajble and conscientious fight for a broad, progressive, mod ern Irrigation law. and has only fulled In achieving the best results for the state through the Inactivity of Eastern Oregon. However, he has laid the foundations for a future law that will surpass the one proposed at this session, as such matters are purely educational. Another legisla ture will perhaps rise above private Interests and pass a general law that will place irrigation and water rights on a broud. equitable basis as one of the departments of a great state. In stead of making It the plaything of ditch companies and private Interests. Dr. Cole went to the legislature with the Intention of securing such irri gation laws as would permit the gov ernment to expend part of the $4. 000.000 contributed by the state of Oregon to the reclamation fund, with in the stute. Although partially de feated, he has been true to his trust and Is entitled to advancement in the legislature. In order that his useful ness may be fully enjoyed by the people. days? Isn't the crying need of the world for a simple, fearless religion that brands wrong as' wrong wher ever found, and exacta a manful re sponsibility and a life of cleanliness from all Its devotees?

AGAINST MILE SQUARE FAItM. The overthrow of the old home stead law and the substitution of a 640-aere homestead Is being rapidly consummated, so far as the change can be pushed along by the public lands committee of the house. That body voted the other day to recom mend the passage of a square-mile homestead bill as applied to eight or ten million acres of land In western South Dakota, although a minority of the committee, consisting of Chair man Lacey and Representatives Mon dell of Wyoming. Miller of Kansas, and Nsedham of California will, It Is understood, bring in a separate re port against the bill. The committee will take up succeeding bills applying the square-mile homestead to other states. This report of the committee was made In the face of a strong adverse recommendation from the commis sioner of the general land office and the secretary of the interior. The commissioner pointed to the fact thai a similar bill was enacted last year for western Nebraska lands "as an experiment," and he stated that suf ficient time had not elapsed to war rant any conclusion whatever favora ble to the Nebraska or Klnkald law. Under the South Dakota bill the government Is given four months In which to make a complete survey of the state and withdraw any lunds suitable for irrigation.' There Is no provision In the bill, however, by which the government could withdraw lands which it might find to be suit able for agriculture without Irriga tion. Unless a strong sentiment Is devel oped In opposition to this bill. It is likely to quietly slip through congress so slight Is the Interest manifested by Eastern members in the question of the development and administration of the great agricultural domain of the country. There seems to be a disposition to let the public lands take care of themselves, no matter what amount of fraud and speculation in them is shown to exist, to pass by the problem and even as In this Instance to enact further laws allowing their more rapid disposal. "No more dangerous nor Insidious measure than this square-mile home stead scheme." said a prominent member of congress, "hus of late come before congress. It is unques tionably an attractive Idea and will meet with enthusiastic support by those who desire to secure large tracts of our agricultural lands. I regard It as a most dangerous piece of legislation." In speuking of this action of the house public lands committee. Sena tor Gibson, a member of the public lands committee of the senate, said: "The absorption of mir public lands Into great private holdings Is going on under our present laws at railroad speed, but this plan to permit a man to take up a square mile of land Is to my mind little short of iniquitous. It would condemn much of our finest agricultural lands In the Northwest, capable of growing crops and sup porting families on small trats, to perpetual stock graxlng. Nor would It result In 640-acre ranches. This square mile unit Is too much land for a man to farm and too little for him to successfully raise stock upon. The result would be that In one way or another, the land would be concen trated Into big holdings, very effect ively preventing settlement. There Is a great future In agriculture for my state and adjoining states, but such a law as this would do much to shat ter our hopes for the development of real farming." It Is udmitted at the capitol thai to secure the enactment of a general law allowing homestead entries of a square mile would be Impossible: but It Is expected to take up the qiwstion state by state, one state haviiiR ul ready been grunted the right, and to secure the legislation piecemeal.
