Mr. Hartranft is an ardent sup

In part, follows:
"If Idaho and many counties In
othor statCB can gel along without
tho use of wheat, I seo no reason why
Oregon cannot do tho same thing,
and If she will not do It willingly,
thon let tho administrators compel
hor to do It. Tho altuatlon Is of tho
gravest sort and I personally think
tho tlmo has come for drastic meas

HALDM, Ore., May 2. Politicians
around tho stato capltol aro begin
ning to wonder whether' or not Pub
lic Scrvlco Commissioners Huchtel
and Corey are trying to put tho
rollers under tho campaign of Chair
man Frank J. Miller of tho commis
sion for re-election.
A world of harmony and sweot
sounds has not prevailed around the
commission for somo tlmo In fact,
tho advent of Commissioner Huchtel
to roprcsent tho western district and
Commissioner Corey to represent the
eastern district, and occasionally a
feeding of resentment has been ap
parent among the two younger com
missioners becaUBO of somo of the
alts of Chairman Miller,
Tho situation tightened up a bit
of late when Chairman Miller sent
a letter bark to the railroad admin
istration counsellor at Washington
suggesting, among othor things, that
tho caso to reduco freight rates on
farm produco from Eastern Oregon
to Portland bo postponed until times
becomo moro nearly normal. Tho
lettor was submitted to tho commis
sion and didn't raise much of a row
until tho Portland Journal hopped
nil over It. This particular rate caso
has been a particular hobby with the
Journal for a numbor of years and It
hus become highly peeved at tho
proposal to sidetrack It for a time.
Piwil Owr LrMi-r.
Tho othor commissioners aro now
wrathy at Chairman Miller. Com
missioner Huchtel states that ho Is
tired "of seeing tho Infant Interosts"
protected, and Commissioner Corey
hasjlssuod it statement declaring that
tho commission, as far as he Is con
cerned, stands ready nt any tlmo and
placo to havo the hearing on the caso
i In question as oarly as possible.
lloth of the boys aro a little up In
tho air over the Miller letter. Corey

WIIKItK PAHT OF LAND IH NON
IltltKUHLK, HAY MKMHKKtt.
(Hl-tUl to The lUIl.tln.)
SALBM, May 1. A misapprehen
sion which has been moro or less
prevalent in Irrigated communities,
particularly in Central Oregon, to
tho effect that a 40-acro tract having
less than flvo Irrigabo acres cannot
bo patented, Is cleared away by a
ruling of tho commissioner of the
general land office just received by
tho desert land board, In which It Is
pointed out how such a tract may
bo patented.
"Apparently, the question as to
whether a patent should Issue for a
legal sub-dtvislon when only a part
thereof has bden reclaimed, tho re
maining portion not being suscept
ible to irrigation, was first consid
ered by offlco letter of Juno 22,
1307, which referred to the holding
that, under tho desert land law, the
non-Irrigablo character of tho great
est part of a 40-acro tract will not
dofoat a desert entry thereof If all
tho land susceptible of Irrigation Is
reclaimed In good faith, and the re
mainder is valueless from Its hilly
and rocky character," states the
commissioner's latest letter on tho
subject.
"Tho present practlco undor the
desert land law Is to refer to the
board of cqultablo adjudication the
question of patenting under tho
desert land act a legal sub-division
of which less than one-slghth Is Ir
rigable. Under tho Carey act, tho
practice under theso circumstances
Is without reference to tho board of
cqultablo adjudication, to cloar list
for patent, a sub-division of which
less than one-eighth is lrrlgablo
land, providing all the lrrlgablo land
Is reclaimed, within tho meaning of
tho act of June 11, 1896, and pro
viding further that tho character of
tho non-Irrigablo land Is such that
tho-sub-dlvlslon will ho chiefly valu
ablo for the irrigablo portion there
of It Is not necessary that tho non
Irrigable portion be worthless.
"While, thoreforo, lands having
less than ono-olghth of tho area lr
rlgablo havo boon patented under tho
Caroy act, tho stato beforo It appllos
for patent should ho satisfied that It
will bo able to dlsposo under tho pro
visions of Its law providing for tho
administration of the grant under
the Carey act, of a tract of this char
acter, as an unfortunato situation Is
presented In thoso cases In which
tho land has thus been properly pat
ented to a stato but of which tho
stato cannot dlsposo in tho manner
contemplated by tho Carey act and
tho land, therefore, simply is tied
up."
Tho letter was written to tho
board In connection with a lotter
from tho assistant secretary of tho
desert laud board to J. J. Chapman
of Powoll Hutte.

Ilallry and Miller Declare for Four
Year Term, Wlillo Varco Makes
No Choice- Qcstion. m to HLi
Position Ih Open.
(From Friday 'b Dally.)
That H, J. Ovorturf apparently has
a cloar field for the nomination for
ono of tho county commlssiononihlps
of Deschutes county Is Indicated from
an Inspection of tho nominating
papers on file In tho offlco of County
Clerk Honor. Tho only possibility
that tho nomination bo contested lies
In tho question as to tho status ot
tho candidacy of E. E. Varco. This
question Is not yet decided.
Tho situation as to tho Overturf
candidacy arises out ot tho provisions
of a stato law covering tho election
of certain county officers. In ths
matter of commissioners tho law
provides that "in counties whero
thcro is a vacancy from any causo
in tho offlco of county commissioner,
then there shall be elected two coun
ty commissioners, ono of whom shall
hold office for two years and the
other four years." No statutory pro
vision exists by which It can bo deter
mined, whero two aro elected, -which
takes tho four-year and which the
two-year term. Candidates aro
therefore settling tho question by
Indicating on thler nominating peti
tions which term thoy seek.
In tho caso of Meredith Bailey of
Sisters and C. H. Miller of Redmond,
tho four-year term is stated to be
tho ono for which they seek tho
nomination. 'Mr. Overturf states
that ho wants the nomination for the
two-year term only, and E. E. Varco.
the 'remaining candidate, does net
specify to which term ho aspires.
Tho situation as to Varco, then.
becomes one of importance bo far as
tho prospects ot the other candidates
aro concerned and especially so In
respoct to Overturf's. If Varco Is
a candidate for tho four-year term It
makes a threc-cornorcd fight for that
nomination and leaves Ovorturf un
opposed; If his candidacy is tor tho
two-year term, then Ovorturf has an
opponent.
Just how tho question will bo set
tled Is not known. Apparently no
provision ot law exists by which It
may bo determined. Somo argue
that since Varco mado no chotco ho
must bo after the tour-year term,
whilo others say It must bo the two
year. On tho answer dopends
whother Overturf has a walk-over or
a fight for tho nomination ho Is after.

(From Wednesday's Dally.)
Stovo Saban, an alien Austrian,
