Eliminating Hogg Pass
The United States Geographic Board, which has the
final say, has ruled Hogg pass, the low divide over the Cas
cades, between Three Finger Jack and Mount Washington
peaks, off the map and decreed that it shall be called Santiam
pass. This may be a more euphonious name, perhaps more
appropriate, for the merged route of the North Santiam and
South Santiam highways utilize it to cross the mountains,
but the change will be received with regret, for the name rep
resented a distinctive epoch in Oregon history, that of pio
neer railroad building.
Hogg pass was named for the late Colonel T. Egenton
Hogg a picturesque character, promoter of the Yaquina Bay
railroad, which was to extend across Oregon from west to
east. He actually constructed the railroad, under many diffi
culties from the sea to Albany and thence up the North San
tiam to Detroit, grading the road bed to the pass, which has
always borne his name. His memory deserves perpetuation.
Santiam was the name of a tribe of tfalapooia Indians living
on the Santiam river which perpetuates it sufficiently.
The Geographic Board has evidently been giving ex
tended consideration to this section of Oregon, for it has de
creed that Minto pass, approximately 5600 feet high on the
boundary line between Jefferson and Linn counties to the
north of Three Fingers peak shall be named after its discov
erer, the late John Minto, a pionerr of '44, which is eminently
satisfactory and well deserved. The history of its discovery
as well as the Indian legends concerning it, are the subject
bf an historical sketch by Mr. Minto.
Mr. Minto was a member of the original road surveying
party that first located Hogg Pass, which he declares should
be named Waldo pass, after John B. Waldo, the first white
man to discover it. This surveying crew also named Gatch
Falls on Marion Creek after Professor Thomas M. Gatch,
head of Willamette University. The Board confirms this
same, as is proper.
The Geographic Board also draws a distinction between
Jeff creek and Jefferson creek on the recommendation of the
United States forest service. Jeff creek is located in San
tiam national forest, Marion county, a tributary of White
water creek, draining Russell glacier on the west slope of
Mount Jefferson. Jefferson creek is in Jefferson county, on
the Warm Springs Indian reservation, forming part of the
bounday between the reservation and Deschutes national
forest. It rises on the south slope of Mount Jefferson and
flows southeast to Metolius river.
The name Milk creek given by the Forest Service to. a
small stream in Santiam national forest, Linn county, drain
ing Milk creek glaciers on the west slope of Mount Jefferson,
flowing west and entering Pamelia creek about two and one
half miles west of Pamelia lake is confirmed. It was so
named because of the color of the water from glacial silt held
in suspension.
Passing Up the Farmer
While we hold no brief for the export debenture plan
for farm relief, our sympathies are with the Semite in the
clash between the President and House, for it offers the only
means by which the farmer can obtain favors comparable
with those which have long been granted the manufacturer.
Every argument yet 'advanced against debentures is an
equally good argument against the system of high protection
for industry sponsored by the Republican party.
The party promised, and Mr. Hoover ratified the prom
ise, to place agriculture on an equality with other industries
and the debenture scheme offers the only opportunity of
equalizing government favoritism. If the manufacturer is
entitled to a bounty, so is the farmer.
The action of the Senate in refusing to accept the sur
render bf the debenture plan agreed upon by conferees, forced
the House to vote upon the scheme, which under its gag
rule, it had hitherto refused, so to save its members the em
barrassment of going on record. Now that the House has
rejected the debenture plan under similar gag rule, without
permitting discussion, the Senate will probably back-down
and pass the farm bill according to Hoover, and seek to tack
the debenture scheme to the tariff bill, where it really belongs.
Speeding Up the Slaughter
The wild applause with which the House of Representa
tives greeted the announcement recently of the murder on
suspicion by a dry agent of a youth who failed to heed the
command to halt, and the blessing pronounced upon the in
cident by Bishop Cannon of Virginia as "the most encour
aging" event he had heard of in a long time, is having its
effect in speeding up the slaughter of the innocents by those
whom Mencken styles the "gunmen of God.' Scarcely a day
passes without another notch on the weapons of the killers.
A man and a boy were killed this week by the customs
agents. The man was sen ted by the side of his wife and
two small children driving home, when without warning he
was fired upon twice from a distance of ten feet with a
sawed-off shotgun loaded with slugs, three of which severed
his spinal column. The slayer says he ordered his victim to
etop, and his wife says he was slowing down when shot. There
was no liquor in the'ear and the state's attorney pronounces
the killing unjustifiable. '
Two days later a youth was shot down near Detroit, dy
ing the next day, his death statement stating that he knew
nothing about the rum running game but was fishing. The
killer has been exonerated by the state's attorney because his
companions admitted they were attempting to smuggle
liquor. But even so, this is not a capital offense and there
is no justification for slaughter on suspicion.
I Last winter it' was announced that federal dry agents
and customs guards had killed 157 persons, few in self de
fense, nearly all on suspicion. Probably twice as many have
been killed by the state dry agents. A few of the slayers were
tried, but being defended by United States attorn . the only
convictions were in Kentucky where two dry agents have
drawn short prison terms. Most of the slayers were kept on
the payroll and promoted, as a reward of merit.
The lawless and unprovoked killings will continue as
long as immunity is provided and Congress applauds the
rnurders.

Labish creek la the main point
of attack for the reclamation proj
ect that U in the hands of U O.
Herrold, of Salem, with whom the
Indian school hag entered Into a
contract. The reclamation of land
will cover about 125 acres of the
school and about the same acreage
of privately owned land.
Under the contract with Mr. Her
rold he ts to convert the creek Into
a free-flowing ditch, clear all stumps
and brush from the land drained,
and plow and seed the land. His
compensation is four crops from
each acre reclaimed, after which
time the reclaimed land goes back
to the use of the school. The In
terior department at first called for
bids on the project, but the figures
submitted were higher than the de
partment .could meet with the
available appropriation.
The result of the reclamation not
only will be cultivation of the land,
but It will eliminate numerous bogs
that for years have been a menace
to the health of the institution, and,
further, It will turn unsightly brush
heaps into productive acres. Herrold
already has made one voyage along
the creek with a power shovel and Is
to make another. s
O. H. Lipps, superintendent of the
Chemawa school, who Is largely re
sponsible for the aggressive better
ment campaign now under way. Is
also giving more attention than has
ever been given before to the per
sonal side of life in the Institution.
There was a time when the popu
lation of the school was congested,
sometimes with as many as a thous
and students, while the school was
equipped adequately to take care of
only about half that number. Dor
mitory room was Insufficient and
health conditions on the campus not
of the best. The result was more
disease than should be expected In
a government Institution. Some pro
gress was made under previous su
perintendents, and it wasiw the
fault of anyone in particular that
conditions weren't better, except the
lack of federal regulation, which
caused over-population.
Now not only is population being
held down, but more room is being
provided. Last year the old frame
dormitory for girls was torn down
and replaced by a modern structure
with a capacity of about 200 stud
ents. This year a modern dormitory
for 200 boys Is being built. Also two
new boilers for heating are being In
stalled.
A change In the department policy
whereby Alaska Indians are no
longer admitted In great numbers,
has been a great help. Five years
ago 350 students from Alaska were
in attendance. This has been re
duced to about 65. The Interior de
partment may make special ar
rangements for the attendance of
Alaskans, but the school can no
longer seek enrollment from that
territory. The education of the Alas
kans is now in the hands of the
federal bureau of education.
Elimination of the elementary
grades is now being considered,
making the institution strictly for
junior and senior high school stud
ents, and possibly adding short
courses for adults in the winter.
Furthermore, It is hoped that In the
near future vocational guidance and
placement can be organized so that
the school will not lose sight of a
student as soon as graduated.
Superintendent Lipps believes eli
mination of the .elementary grades
would be for the welfare of the In
dians. He does not think It a whole-
