April 23 of last year Secretary Balleager instructed the Director of the Geological Survey to exam ia Into and report upon the ques tion of VltlidrnwiiiR certain InnUs in the Upper Deschutes valley lor watcr power sites. In accordance with such instructions Director Smith, under date of November 18, reoomtendtd the temporary with drawal of 3,367 acres along the Des chutes river between Cltne Falls at the north and PrinRle Fulls at the south. Two days after reccivinu the recommendation Secretary Uul lender approve! it and sent it to the General Lund Office, where it was received and registered ou the last day of last year. Of the 3,262 acres thus with drawn from all forms of eulry, se lection, disposal, setdencut or loca tion" 3,3Qt acres had previously been entered at the land office, leaving) only 871 acres of vacant Government laud in the withdraw al tfaice-fourtbs of the area with draws was already in private bands. However, settlers do not relish the following clause found in the withdrawal oider: All valid entries heretofore made may proceed up to and Including the submi iioti ef final proof, bet no purchase mon ey will be received or final certificate oi entry Uautd'untit further urdera. A number of the settlers inter ptel this to mean that their final proofs will be held up indefinite!) and may finally be rejected and the entries cancelled for slight ot technical cause. We do not think this fear is just ified. The Department has decid ed time and again that the relation between a land entryman and the Government is contractual, and if the validity of .1 legal contract may not be impaired by legislation certainly the act of an administra tive officer will not impair it. So loag as the entryman keeps faith fully bis part of the contract the Government is bound to fulfill its obligation. True, the decision as to whether the settler has complied with the law rests with the land of ficers of the Government, but it is hardly to be assumed, that they, will abase their discretion to make' trouble for homesteaders when the oaly result of the homesteaders', failure would be that the Govern ment would keep the land. And if the v should abuse discretion the courts would then get jurisdiction to interfere. It should be observed that the withdrawal is but temporary, "in aid ef proposed kgijUtioti affect in v the disposal ot water power Mtes on the public domain." If Congress aaall take no action on the subject at this session it is probable that these lauds will be restored to entry. Incidentally, one must wonder at ittc seriousness with which Gov ernment officers set about "protect lag the water powers" when it has repeatedly been decided by the caarts that such powers ore the ex elusive property of the state and do WH belong to the Federal Govern meat at all. The site for utilizing the power is sometimes important, SMMtiacs not; bat it is the site only that the Government can control, wJms it fai ou the public domain. crowtd with railroad construction ists, stores busy as never before In mcetiiiR the demands of the many adjacent en nips I us well n.s those of the growing town. To supply fresh foods lor the vastly enlarged market is no small problem. Meat, butter, eggs, milk, potatoes and all vegetables, nud fodder, will be in demand in great quantities. Kv cryottc Him hug laud can make mon ey by putting it under cultivation, and aside from the highly SMlsfuc ttiry financial cud of the situation, it is well to realize that the better the locn! market is supplied wiili local ptoduce, at reasonable rates, the more will it be patronized b) the railroaders and others. No worthier movement ever h been launched in lieml than that to establish a trout hatchery here. It Is a miilter deserving the fullest at tention of the state officials, for cer tainly the claims of the Deschutes ue well founded and of rcul impor tance, not only locally but for ad Oregon. "Taxation without repre sentation" is a phrase which per haps not inaptly comes to mind when considering the project; for of the several thousand dollars col lectcd in Crook County in fish and game licenses during the last five years how much has been ex pended in this region and how much west of the mountains? school pupils who participated in last week's play. Jin successful prcsentaUon evidenced n lot of hard work, On the part of players ntid coticlt wotk which the audience appreciated. The Bend Schools have finished their year's work. That the citi zens of ltid are interested in tin activity of their schools was evi deuced'in no uncertain way by the larue attendance at the various commencement exercises, and as suredly the people ot Bend have t;ood reason to be proud of what the town offers its children and its newcomers iti educatiouul advan tages. No community of twice Hend's population boasts a bitter institution; a splendidly equipped and well conducted public and high school, housed in modern quarters, is an incomparable asset for any town. "Pinchotiscd Patriots." "Pin- Choi's Charges Fall," Pinclioiitcj. a Lying Lot," "Complete Failure of the Charges Against the Secre tary of the. Interior" these are some of the he 'dings appearing on the editorial page of one number of the Portland Oregonian, that of May 24. And it was not a Pinchot number either. It was the ordi nary rot inspired by a Cunningham claimant. Silly as such an exhibi tion is, it has its humorous side. For the second time premature opening of something has brought trouble to the name of Dewey. After our late lamented squabble witii I lie uons, George was sunk, politically, by prematurely and ovcr-often opening his mouth. This time the floating dry dock Dewey went to the bottom because someone opened its valves. The long-suffering individual who sent six old collars to Portland and bad them returned by express cost $ 1 20 will rejoice in the promised arrival ol a fiend steam lauudry. " The "ethics" of Stenographer Jrvcroy ia telling what be knew ieucbiag the GlavU-Balliager mat ter is sagely discussed by the heavy editorial writers of the machine press. We thought they bad taken a position upon the im pregnable rock of the law, not etb ks the strict, sacred and unbend- Ihc law wherein Secretary Ballin gs- found no warrant for preserv fog fee all the people certain public! ytaawy aestreti uy a select lew, Abe, by reference to the oath of 9t4megrapber Kerby filed in the de partment when he entered upon his ffcitja it will be found that be aware to serve the United States mkthtully, not the Secretary of the Jartarior or any other boss person alty. Whether he did wisely or hcX may be questioned, but if he thought he was serving his country uader his oath of office his course, was amply justifiable, Many high fimctieaaries have been protected ia' carters of crookedness by that jMcwMar code of 'ethics" which prevented sabofdiaates from telling what they knew. Those who can not afford to let tlie light shine on their aet are much given to prat tg about the "loyalty" of gover meat employee to their superiors. Little do they care for the public iatereet; it k their special and pri vate iaterests which concern them For the next eight mouths, and perbape longer, Bend will be Great credit is due to the high PETITION FORFISIt IIATCHBRV Meat Situation Is Here. Would Keer Deschutes Perfectly Stocked. A movement is on foot for the establishment of n trout butchery ou the Deschutes at lleud by the state. A petition requesting such action bus iu.cn circulated by S G Dorrl, the deputy fish warden who has been bete tor two mouths, and, signed by some 150 Ueud business men und taxpayers, has been for warded by him to II C. McAllls ter, master fish warden of Oregon According to Mr. Dorris und to all others futtilliur with hatchery work who hove investigated the situation, Hetid is ideally shunted as a location for a trout-mising plant. Many hatcheries are main taiued by the state throughout Or egon, but thus far the Deschutes Valley hat been cntiiely ueglectcd. The cost of installing and main taining a hatchery is slight, and usually, it is said, the returns from sa)e at fish . for stocking purposes is sufficient to maintain the plant. A hatchery here would insure good Deschutes fishing for all time, say piscatorial experts. The petition, whose text appear. below, outlines some of the perti nent reasons lor establishing a hatchery at Bend. rtKND, Or., May 36, 191a To TIIK ItONORADLK It. C.
