President Roosevelt has acquired
the reputation of turning White
House conference into town meet
ings. Applicants for favors in the
way of appointment or promotions
are all treated alike. There is uo
privacy iD the reception-room. One
applicant said that "getting the
President's ear wa like opening
a window and shouting at the
wide, wide world. He talks too
loud." One of the members of the
Supreme Court of the United
States is also said to have quietly
tugged at his sleeve and drawn
him aside to confidentially solicit
the promotion of a friend, when
the reply of the Presideut rebound
ed through the reception-room as
if he were shouting to a compan
ion in a mooee hunt: "I am sorry,
but it cannot be done. All promo
tions must be by merit." The
course adopted by the President
may be objectionable to the pro
fessional lobbyist and place-hunter,
but it will receive the hearty ap
proval of the American people
generally. Ex.
interested opposition to the treaty.
Why? Presumably because the
tianscontiuental railway lobby
wishes to prevent the construction
of any c.inal. Instead of bringing
forward the discredited Panama
scheme again, instead of attack
ing the canal bills bef.ire congress,
this lobby attacks tue treaty that
cleans the way for the construction
of the canal.
Today the transcontinental rail
ways aim to secure a virtual mo
nopoly of the transportation bus
iness between the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans. They do not wish
water competition. They are
therefore opposed to even a ca
nal which will surely hasten our
material and commercial progress
aod will surely enhance our in
fluence as a world power.
The rest of the people on the
Atlantic coast, on the Pacific coast,
and in the middle West and the
South are united for the canaL If
they suspect a conspiracy on the
part of the railways to obstruct
canal legislation in the interest of
a combination which, without the
restraining influence of the canal,
would become more powerful as
time passed, they will find means
to punish the conspirators against
the nation's welfare.
It is no longer possible to veil
hostility to the canal under any
thin pretense of patriotic senti
ment or out of fear for American
enterprise. The transcontinental
roads have fought the battle
against the Nicaragua canal. They
have been forced slowly from the
field by the great army of the
American people. The sooner
they give up the work of obstruc
tion the better it will be for them.
Otherwise the people may seek re
venge in the future, and when the
people seek revenge they are apt
to be careless in the matter of
both justice and mercy. Inter

W. O. Minor, while in the rice
growing action of Texas, recently,
got some interesting facts in re
lation to the methods of irrigation.
Kiee cannot be grown without a
great amount of water. The rice
must be flooded until a short time
before it is harvested. At the
place visited by Mr. Minor, im
mense pumps operated by steam
power are placed in a river and
the water is raised a distance of
from 30 to CO feet These pumps
handle all the way from 30,000 to
120,0"X) gallons or water per
minute. The ric fields are suc
cessfully flooded making lice grow,
icg a profitable industry in a com
paratively arid region. In inves
tigating this method of irrigation,
Mr. Minor had in view the great
and region through which the Co
lumbia river fljws, and where the
conditions are similar to those ic
Texas, aLd he says that he can see
no reason why this same system
could not be sooM".faIly apoptni
alosg the Columbia. It is a well
kuowfj fct that the land along
the Columbia is very productive
wherever wter can be obtained
for irrigti n purpo-". With
plenty of water, in growing fruits

would 1 a great wealth produciLg

Common School Fund Will Lose,

portion ot it. the rnoner is loaned ')'it on

oXOunt of bad loans, the loi n ' J t !aJ
upon the interest fund, and not rij- n

But, thougli the law provides th it the
princitial of the S'-hool fund shaii . ;r-

tieo. V. Iavis su.j'-eeded in red ir : i
the fund by some l,0i.0. The ba.am'e
of hi.s defalcation came from other f'ln.i-.
In the course of time this amount rn i.t
be made tfood to the school fund prim i
pal by a deduction from the school-fun I
interest.
During the last 20 vears there have
been several losses to the school-fund
principal, which were so heavy that
they could not be cha-ed ti the inter
est fund at the time. Ab'iut a year ao
the State Land Hoar I made a thorough
examination of all the lo-ie. and found
tbat the loss-s to the principal fund had
been 117,700. Of thii sum s.VK) was
due to a loan made by the Legislature
to a mushroom e durational institution
at Baker City. The amount of the losses
was made tfocd by a transfer f-om the
interest fund, and the .State Land I'.uarr'
started in witli a clean record. It should
be stated tbat none of the loea aere
upon loons made by the present board,
but were upon loans made in the days
when the funds were carelessly handled
and political or personal friends wsre
granted favors by loans io excess of th
amount their property would secure.
