WEDNKSDAY, JUNK i, 1910.
ttOMUSTKADS NOT THREATENED.
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.

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

it is well to realize that the better

The Bend Schools have finished

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

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.

some of the he 'dings appearing on

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.
