The Interior Department Vacancy.

The withdrawal Of Secretary Teller from
the Department Of the Interior leaves his
place vacant. II is not limited who his
successor will be. The department.
workings during the retiring secretary's
incumbency has been to high degree
satisfactory 10 the people, particularly Of
this Coast. The great majority Of Indi-
ans that the government has to deal with
are west a! the Rocky Mountains A
man reared in the west is by long odds
the most fitting for the Office. 4 western
man by birth and education and good
long residunce on this coast should be the
person selected We believe the govern
ment would do well to appoint Ex-Sena-
tor Mitchell TO the vacancy in the Inter
iUr Department; who is not only West
ern bed man. but his qualifications have
been vastly increased By resident expe-
rience of 20 odd years IN this Indian
country. His appointment would be sat
isiaetory 10 the people here because he is
not possessed OF SO many false notions
about the noble reG man, as Stone and
FennimoTe Cooper have so feelinely de-
scribsd. Mr. " knows, too, that the
reservations in this section en- brace large
tracts Of land of the best soil in the coun-
Try, which are little else than desert
waste. He knows the necessity for cen
hnlng the red men to grants of IG0 acres
each, and placing them nnder the same
!aHs as the whites aud instead of wan
dering from one part of the country to
another, make them conform to the laws
and dwell in 6XeI habitations; like their
super!crs, the whites, earn their bread by
the sweat OF their hrows. These are some
u tha reasons Hhy We should favor the
appointment of J. II. Mitchell as Secre-
tary # the Interior.

We live in a land where wealth and
prosperity largely depend on . diligent
cultivation of marselously fertile soil.
And in spite of all ''eruakers " may say
concerning the impoverisbing of our
lands by the constant growing Of wheat,
We, and doubtless our children after US,
VIII continue 70 raise this staple commod-
ity, at least, so long as there exists a de-
nand for 1t such as to make the growing
of i; reasonably profitable. Ths acknow-
ledged capacity of our soil to produce
largely an excellent quality OF wheat is
the ,aIisman that has transfo rmed
our q bunch grass plains into profitable
cultivated farms, brought business TO our
streets, given to our ciiys and towns their
present activity ard promise, linked Us
together and to the great, bustling COM
mercial world that lies outside our bor-
ders Wheat is King with US, and viii
doubtless loug continue TO be so.
The startling news nj the day, from
abroad, of German and Austrian foods,
seriously crippling the grain centers of
Europe, Of the probability of war between
Russia and Austria, are plain indications
that the price OF wheat will be greatly ad--
vanced. Such great probability of an in
creased demand and enhancement Of val
ue ought to De encouragement enough to
determine our farmers To plough and seed
to wheat every acre Of land in the Co
lumbia Basin that is available for such
purpose. Let there be but few idle acres
in SO ard We predict for our land sea
son of unprecedented prosperity. Our
prediction is legibly written in the signs
of the times
The stock of wheat on hand in Califor-
MIA on January Ist was about 4l9, 600 tons.
in a previous issue of this paper We have
set forth quite fully the scarcity of wheat
in the gram growing sections Of Washing
ton and Eastern Oregon.

Even Pennsylvanians are speaking
right out in meeting against the outrage
Gus injustice of the present tariff, Mr.,
Curtin says: "The inequities of these
laws are perfectly monstrous, and 1t Is
fortunate for Pennsylvanians that the
people generally have not taken the
trouble to look into this matter. The
