Wall street will wage no war on
Roosevelt. Knowing as they do
the sentiment of the people as ex.
pressed in the enthusiasm of the
presidents recent tour OF the west,
they realize how hopeless their
opposition would be. By opposing
his certain re nomination and re-
election they would bring them
selves in sharp conflict with his
administration, an attitude which
the great corporate interests have
no wish TO assume. The president
has the courage of his convictions
and Wall street has no wish to fall
farther in his displeasure.

Opening the Columbia.

With the rapid development OF
the Inland Empire the necessity
tor the opening of the Columbia
river becomes more and more
pressing There is probably no
other section of the country where
such a great river reaching such
vast resources would be so long
lett unimproved. The Columbia
basin Is one of the most important
of the country. If the stream were
improved through the short reach
where it is not navigable, all the
vast territory it reaches would be
afforded water communication with
the sea. If such conditions existed
in any other portion of the country
the river would long since have
been opened, but for some re ,son
the Columbia remains closed while
vast sums are expended elsewhere
ON projects of far less Importance.
Given the same kind of a stream,
the same wealth of resources, and
the same population. such basin
In any other section would be
promptly givel the advantage OF
water transportation, but for some
inexplicable reason the govern
ment overlooks the Columbia river
basin as though it were desert.
Is 1t because our representatives In
congress are not sufficiently dill
gent? If not, what is the reason
why this great work remains ut.
done?
With one man to make a de
termined fight in and out of con-
gress for the improvement of the
Columbia, the necessary appropria
ton could be secured. If one
member from the northwest,
having the necessary ability and
force, should determine to agitate
the subject in season and out OF
season until the improvement were
brougt about, he would succeed in
getting 1t within four years. II
all these northwestern members
should take hold of the problem
In such a spirit they should be
able to carry it through in single
session. Boise Statesman.

No boom, but we have two

No Cause for Alarm

Crop conditions are not as favor
able in the Columbia basin this
year as last and the anxious man
Is getting restless under the com
ment of the croaker but from the
most conservative estimates there
is no cause for alarm. Oregon,
Washington and Idaho had a
40, 1000, 900 bushel crop last year
and from present indications the
late spring and other untoward
conditions will not cut the crop
more than S, 600, 900 bushel Tie
spring was late and the opening
dry but the June rains have started,
indications are more favorable and
il is safe to predict more than an
average crop.
The question OF markets is even
more promising. Speaking of this
outlook the Oregonian says:
From present indications even a
$4,000. 600 bushel crop in Oregon,
Washington and Idaho will be OF
more value to the growers than the
40. 600, 900 ushel crop OF last year.
Prices at the present time are 10 to
IS cents per bushel higher than
last year. and there is but slight
prospect for any decline at least
before the turn of the year. The
market for ocean ireights is at very
low ebb, and enough tonnage could
be chartered to load the entire CROP
Of the three states at the lowest
average rate on record. Grain bags
are also much cheaper than they
have been for the past three years,
and the only increased expense to
the wheatgrower is in the matter
OF labor. The Willamette Valley
has almost ceased to figure as an
exporter of wheat, but the crop
this year is reported in better shape
than that Of year ago. There is
an increasing tendency in the
Willamette. to feed wheat to hogs,
and. for this purpose the cereal Is
said. to be more valuable than for
shipment. The extent of this
practice cannot be accurately deter
mined, but it is believed that In
