' Two rorUand papers quoted hltri as favoring Federal siip vrrlston o'r the construction work and jubeYrig ot t,he opinion that a "larger "area' than that actually em braced' In tho Columbia Southern vegregatlon should be reclaimed now by getting government cooperation and about doubling the amount ttiat 3ias been appropriated for tho work. It Mr. Lewis has been misquoted nnd slandered, as Mr. Van Wlnklo a Laldlaw said he has been, there Is so cause for comment.

Mr. Lewis was one ot the foremost workers for the Cilurabia Southern bill. His figures wcro accepted at par.- He had every opportunity to express his Ideas to the Legislature. It is inconceivable that so soon ho has experienced a change of heart. Until wo hear from him, The Bulle tin does not care to bellero that tho State 'Engineer has lost his nerve the minute actual constructive work stares him in the face the first. It has been said, that he has ever enter ed upon. We prefer to believe that Mr. Lewis will show the same enter prise and xoal in tho physical accom plishment of the task before him that he .has displayed In laying tho plans upon which It is to be built. Too much praise cannot be given the stand Governor West has taken in the matter, as shown by his state ments In tho Portland press and' in his telegram appearing on tho first page of' this issue, which is, In reality, a personal message and pledge or good faith from Oregon's executive to tho settlers on tho lands of tho' Columbia Southern segrcga- "on. Jit Is very apparent that If patrons era Isfany tendency on tho part or T other state pflfcer to shirk the ponsiulllties of the task. Oswald tst J'Ql accept his share. It Is to bojved. he will receive the support a stand nferlli, and there is no .oub't than"e will. The Governor's xessage to The Bulletin is simply an lortement of the plan already ac ted lur the Legislature a plan sqnted Ip detail, and approved in fall, jf Stafe Engineer Lewis. The Oregon Journal stages tje .ase well: t "Tho legislature acted upon a cer tain, definite nronosnl. That was to complete tbo original project and' J fulfill, without endless delay, the' .moral obljgatlou of the state to set- J tiers who were led to bellavo that . the stn'o In some measure was be- J Wnd thq , projects launched under! -, In. fTurAV jlnr I t "Throush Its governor and legis lature the state has just adopted a J definite project and declared its poJ- Jcy. It decided that the stato should ? Iiccome re sponsible. It set aside. $ H&O.OOu for the purpose ot building dam and canals and putting the wo- X ter on tho Innd. Tho bill does not J contemplate a larger project or any , dairy cream: thero ought to bo moro hogs to drink and grow fat on separ ator milk. Every onco In n while thoro Is n gold mine excitement. Thero should bo an excitement duo to something moro profitable than any of the Cen tral Oregon gold mines yet discovered tho hog Industry. Why, with hogs bringing nine cents every rancher In this valley should have his mints In operation his pastures full or hogs, For tho past three yeapi the Portland market has topped the country. Thq time was when, no matter how many hogs had been raised in Central Ore gon, they C.QU14 pot have bc,en mark eted In Portland the transportation was lacking. But now there are two lines ot railroad to Haul tho porkers to the stockyards. In the words of Shakespere, paraphased: "The farmer that hath no hogs upon his ranch, ' And Is not moved by concord ot swine grunts. Is fit to live upon no Central Oregon farm: Tho rrlfomi ot his mind are slow and weak, And his success will not be extra great. ' Let no such roan be trusted." On this subject the Culver Tribune notes: "Nothing Indicates bettor that thero will b0 man changes In the manner ot farming than the largo amount of fencing for liogs which Is being built this yoar.Thls indicates only ono of many changes which will be made. The grain which has here tofore been wasted on tho land wilt now go into pork. Being equipped for hog raising the farmer will le able to make good out of his potato crop when the potato market will not Justify the shipping of them as is tho case this season. 'It has repeatedly been shown that potatoes make good feed ror hogs, not 6nly by tho'ofjicr places where the experiments have been tried !tt potatoes have been tgi In this vicin ity and round to be good reed."
