Keep 1t Open.

The burning question in King county just now is
whether it shall be high low with Lake Union. 1t
looks very much if the elements trying to do
for the farming interests of the valleys what the peo
pie have not had enough to do. There to
be good reason why the waters of Lake Union and
especially of Lake Washington should be kept at the
high mark they attain to in the winter, causing so
much damage by overflow when all legitimate purposes
be served well by leaving out the dam that has
been washed away and cutting loose the the
portage canal. Not only would damage from
flow be averted but much valuable swamp land would
become available and channel made at but slight
expense for the passage of small steamers from the
lakes to the Sound Another advantage would be
added argument and strong one for the digging of
the government canal, an Improvement to naviga-
able stream AS for the mills left little too far
from deep water would be but trfing expense to
extend their logways the few feet required By all
means give the water a chance.

From The Journal Bureau, Room IS, Post Build

Washington, Jan. S.-Governor Merri-
am, director of the census, to-day made
public an official statement closing the
dispute between his bureau and the agri-
cultural department regarding the com
parative accuracy Of the statistics Of area
of agricultural lands Of the United States:
The agricultural department. which gath.
ers these statistics on its own account ev.

than the census office. The dispute which
has been. on for several months has beer
III fact a dispute between John Hyde. sta.
tistician for the agricultural department
and l.. G. Powers OF Minneapolis, statisti
clan for agriculture in the census office.
Mr.. Hyde energies from the controversy
under suspicion Of having furnished the
public with the data which caused the
dispute and Secretary Wilson is under
stood to have given him strict orders re-
garding this sort of conduct. ~.,..
Governor Merriam fully sustains Mr..
Powers work in every essential particu-
lar: Iowa was rechecked for test pur-
peses with a change Of totals Of only
one. fourth OF enc per cent. In only one
county in nine was the error equal to one
per cent ~,
In addition, Governor Merriam has re-
checked the 102 counties where gross mis-.
takes were said to have been committed
by the census office. It is found that TO,
the acreage Of improved farm land anc
the great staple crops Of the country, ant
the leading agricultural states, the cen.
sus figures are within one per cent of the
truth. :E. -. j.. =
This disposes of the matter finally. II
was the wish OF both Secretary Wilson
and Secretary Hitchcock as well as Gov

a prompt close. There is much criticism

Alderman Lane Of the second ward
thinks the East Side has a grievance be-
cause President D. P. Jones of the city
council failed to give that side Of the
river representation on the waterworks
committee. The fact that he was not re-
tanned on that important committee, he
says, is matter of small moment to him,
but he thinks that a great injustice has
oeen done section that furnishes a quar-
ter OF the population Of Minneapolis.
Il was naturally interested III remain
ing on the waterworks comn1ittee;;'' said
Alderman Lane, chiefly because; Twas
largely instrumental In securing the. new
pumping station for our side OF the river
and I should have liked to remain with
the committee long enough, at least. to see
the completion of that work I made no
request that be reappointed, and in be-
ing removed from that assignment, would
have been well content If some one OF
my colleagues Of the East Side wards
could have been substituted for me- In
view of the strong attempt made to Sc
cure the appointment on the committee
OF Alderman Chatfeld, I am certainly sur
prised that our district was not recog-
nized. A strong delegation, composed OF
such men as j. T. Wyrnan and r. b Sny.
der, who. while not unfriend1yzt to me. are
particularly friendly to Alderman Chat
field, urged his appointment upon ..s1Mr
Jones. They asked, in fact, that I3be de.
posed and that he should unseat me. This
would have been entirely agreeable to me
and the wonder is that Mr.. Jones did no.
see fit to respect their wishes. believe
that failure to recognize the East Sid.
