SATURDAY. DECEMBER 28, 1895
TWO VIEWS OF 1T.

The Day Bros, contractors for the
building of the Cascade locks, have been
having tilt with Major James Post,
engineer officer in charge. 1t seems,
according to the Days, that Major Post
wanted to have their contract annulled
SO that the engineer corps could dilly
daily along with the work for the next
twenty years, az The C rps have done in
the past. The Days have done more
work since they commenced operations
than had been done previously by the
corps, and at much less cost, and the
prospect of seeing the boats pass through
the locks on the first day of March, 1896,
was tno much for the engineer officer,
hence this longing to have the Days
ousted:-Nancouver Columbian.
This, we think, is hardly just. While
itlmay be true that the Days have done
more work than had previously been
done since they have had charge at the
Locks, it must be remem bered that they
have everything in their favor, with a
large fund to draw from, and are not
compelled to work with miserly appro-
priations as the government engineers
had to do. Men like Major Jones and
Lieutenant Young said over and over
again that had they been permitted to
be allowed any equitable appropriation
and been guaranteed that sufficient
money would follow in succeeding years,
the matter of completing the locks
would be a comparatively easy thing
and occupy but moderate period of
time. The Days have been turned
loose on a million and a half OF dollars,
and besides are given the assistance of
the resident engineers-men like Lieut..
Taylor, whose ability and integrity are
urquestioned.
To many people the attack made by
MIR. Day upon Major Post comes in bad
taste. II the Days succeed in opening
the locks by March 1st, then almoss
anything they should say would be ua-
criticised; but in view of the uncer-
tainty that exists with regard to the
locks completion, and the beliefof many
people that March 1st will not see them
done, the charges made by Mr.. Day do
not carry with. them the commendation
OF Eastern Oregon people.

The next state campaign, up to the
time the Republican nominations are
made, promises to be the Iiveliest Ore
gon has seen for many year. The
failure of Binger Hermann to secure the
craftsmanship of the River and Harbor
committee has been taken as deciding
that he viii not be invincible in the
next convention. Hence there is much
activity among budding politicians, and
many men have yearning desire to. ap-
pear in Washington as the successor of
the suave Hermann. Although his
failure to secure the coveted chairman
ship does not give that certainty to his
denomination that success would have
done, yet when nominating day comes
around Hermann will be found with a
goodly share of votes to hoist him into
favor. There are many things more
sure in this world than that Binger Her
mann will not be his own successor in the
next congress.

Among the important measures which
have been introduced i'm congress is one
by Senator Squire which provides that
Jurisdiction be given United States
courts to try all questions of law and
fact which affect the right of any indi-
vidual to enter and acquire government
lands when the land in question is of the
value of $500 or more. The jurisdiction
of the courts is to be concurrent with
the jurisdiction of the land department.
1t is provided that whenever the right
of any applicant to enter government
land is questioned or contested, the ap-
plicant may, at any time thereafter, re-
view all issues at question by filing in
the United States land Office a petition
for the removal of the case 70 the United
States circuit court; but not until his
rights shall have been passed upon in a
decision of the register and receiver o
{ le local land Office or in the department
at Washington. 1t is believed ii e
measure would prove a beneficial one,
though the Spokesman-ReView expresses
fear that corporations might be able
to take advantage OF the statute for the
purposes of delay. The bill has the
merit OF doing away with much of the
red tape that is now required before the
settling of land questions by the depart
ment at Washington.
