The Objections to Hitchcock.

There probably has never been Sec.
retary Of the Interior who has won
such unpopularity as the present Of
ticer. Every one who is forced to 70 to
several hundred dollars expense to re-
tain his timber claim can blame the
constantly shifting policy of the Land
Department. The inquisitorial meth
ods adopted towards persons seeking
Government land have been of the
stamp which has never yet been ac.
cepted tamely By Americans. 1t is not
an Americanism to consider a man
guilty of fraud until he proves himself
innocent, and such methods are now in
vogue will not last very long. We
think some method should be found
for curing the defect OF fling and
proof outside OF the land district where
the land is situated. The persons who
filed are not to blame and the great ey.
pense of going through the whole pro.
cess again would work a rank Injustice.

A Sunday Issue Of the Journal.

The Portland Journal Announces that
it is two wears old today. 1t is safe toI
say that during the last year no Amer
ican newspaper has made greater pro-
portionate strides in business, circula-
ton or in influence. From a modest
and purely experimental plant it has in
that time grown into thoroughly
equipped and well established institu-
ton. Six months ago it more than
doubled the capacity Of the floor space
at its disposal. 1t is already becoming
so cramped for room that further eX-
pansion is again problem which is i'm
mediately before it.
1t is this stage that the Journal has
reached. The demand for a Sunday
morning issue of The journal has be-
come so widespread that it can no
longer be resisted. Following its usual
custom to meet every reasonable de.
mand made upon it by the people it
serves, and who have faithfully stood
by it from the start, it has determined
to put forth a Sunday morning issue on
the Goth of the present month. This
will mean that for six days each week,
that is every week day, The Journal
will be printed in the evening, while OH
one day in the week, that is Sunday, it
will be printed as morning newspaper.
All arrangements are now practically
completed for a superb staff OF writer's,
men and women Of national fame. II
is proposed to make OF the issue the
most popular newspaper ever issued in
Oregon, 1t will have its own leased
y wire service to cover the news fully and
adequately and much more pict
uresquely than it has ever before been
done in Portland. 1t will embrace
many novel features, many new and
striking methods, but it will stick
closely to the fearless policy which in
two years has placed the evening issue
far in the forefront in its field and
1 which we venture to say will in much
! less time give It's Sunday issue unchal.
E lenged first place in that particular
field.

CHURCH ITEMS
HOW TO TREAT CHRYsANTHEMUMs

A few words about the plants given out to the Congregational Sunday schoolG lGchildren last June, and the
 Last June, 125 small chrySanthemum plants in pots were given out to the children in the Congregational Sunday school and to the older people, with the idea that the children would care for them during the summer and in the fall chrysanthemum show would be held. When the children were asked this past Sunday in the Sunday school how many knew that their plants were growing we'll, about every hand was raised, which shows that the introductory chapter in the flower ex- hibit is we'll begun. A few pointers just at this time from circular of Peter Henderson & Co.,, on "How to Raise the Finest Chrysanthemums" may not be amiss. If the plants have already been set in large pots and are in bud, pinch off all the buds but one est one. If, however, the plants have been left in the ground during the summer, take them up very carefully by wetting the ground about the roots thoroughly, and removing as much dirt with the roots as will cling to them. If the plants are taken from the ground now to be set in pots, uo not plnch off the buds until the plants have been given time to recover from the shock of transplanting. Treat the plants from now on with manure wa ter, giving the enrichment, say, once week. About the 18th of October, the plants should be brought into a room not overloaded, where the tenn perature ranges from 50 to 70 degrees.
 To encourage the children to take great pains with their plants, three prizes are offered for the best plants that may be brought to the show, namely: A first prize of bulbs worth $1; second prize Of bulbs worth 75c; a third prize of bulbs worth soc. The chrysanthemum show will probably be held early in November.
