Some writer on q Portland paper
has conceived the fake story that
Baker, Grant aud Malheur counties
are about to make move to secede
from Oregon aud have themselves at.
tHched to Idaho. OF course, there
IL no truth In the statement: but II
such move were left to vote Of
these three counties, that thing would
unquestionabiy be done. The In.
ters,ts OF this section OF the state are
entirely different from those of Port.
land and the Willamette valley. and
by the Pction of the latter during
twenty or more years past. have been
made antagonistic.
The western division OF the state,
being much more thickly populated,
dom mates the political; while Port
land, owing solely to favorable freight
rates and to no enterprise OF Its own,
dom mates the commercial affairs Of
Oregon. Both politically and com.
mercisiiy the coast country has been
80 narrow aud short sihRted that 1t
has alieniated the regard of the
east aud we are bound to It, not
by choice. but by necessity. On
the other hand, our industries aud
interests are identical with those
Of Idaho aud we would gladly cast
our lot with that state were II
possible.
A similar condition of affairs ex-
lat over In Washington aud the prop
osition hs, been frequently discussed
by the press aud men In public life.
Owing to the vide difference of IN
terests, an snta9onism in govern.
mental affairs IL almost inevitable
aud such u condition is detrimental
to both sections. Mountain ranges.
not rivers, are the natural dividing
line between areas of country aud
should also be In separating political
divisions.

Our present bankruptcy law was NJ
emergency measure resulting from
tho panic Of 1893. aud tho house
judiciary committee has decided by
n vote of eight tn six To report
fmvorably the Clayton bill to repeal
tho act. The author Of the bill,
Clayton, Of Alabama, says:
''lt has never been the policy Of
tho United States to have psrms-
nsnt bankruptcy law. We think the
present law has served its purpose.
sud that Il should be repealed.
T.lMl aud experience have demon
strstsd the manifold imperfections Of
this law, ani that many cases Of
Injustice have come, aud are con
stsntly coming. from Its operation.
We do not helieve that there IL any
necessity or any general public de.
msnd for the longer retention of the
Law. Il bRs tended To burden the
federal courts with litigation, which,
We believe. could be just NJ we'll
conducted by tho courts Of the states.
The friends Of the present bankruptcy
Law. who belong tn the creditor class,
are constantly endeavorinR to per
Isct this action into mere machinery
for the collection II dobts, mini
mixing or ignoring as far M possi bic
the primary purpose Of bankruptcy
iegislstion--the relief of unfo' tu0ste
debtors.

The bureau Of the census has just
published its final and complete re
port on the recent census Of the min.
Ing industries OF the United States.
This census WAS conducted In collab-
oration with the United States geo
logical survey. IL relates to the cal
tndar year 1902 aud forms q part OF
the general work Gf tho 18th census
Of the United States, being one Of the
special inquiries provided for In the
legislation .elating to that census.
A summary of the statistics relating
To mines aud quarries has already
been presented TO the public In u pre-
liminary report published by the
bureau as bulletin about six months
ago. This was u pamphlet Of SO
pages. The report now issued 10 a
bound volume OF 1928 pages.
The statistics compiled In the
elaborate tables comprise data Of the
vaius aud quantity Of the product Of
the mines, the cost Of supplies aud
materials, the miscellaneous expenses,
the number Of wage earners the
amount Of their wages, the number
of clerks mud salaried officials. the
kind mud amount of power used, the
amount paid for contract work, etc.

language of the criminal-is par
ticulsrly despicable. Granting that
every charge preferred against Sen
ator Mitchell is true. he occupies a
less censurable position, In the eyes
OF real men, than does bis treacherous
partner, who offers as a ascrifice his
associate, In order to save his onw
hide.

1908. The commission, upon as
suming its duties, was instructed
to "report upon the condition and
effect of the present laws" and to
recommend ''such changes as are
needed to effect the largest practical
disposition OF the pnblic's land to
actual settlers, who will build homes
uopn them," aud to 'secure in
permanence the fullest and most
effective use of the resources Of
the puilc lands.
The report sumitted declares the
present laws unsuitable to the needs
Of the growing public domain.
Agricultural possi bilities are little
understood or even a,oertained and
provision, the commission believes,
should be made for gathering the ex-
act facts concerning what. the lands
will grow, II anything, and Tor hold
ing for agriculture such tracts as ars
at tor It.
The recommendation for the re.
peal Of the timber and stone acts 10
renewed. The commission thinks
the sale OF timber from unreserved
public forests should be authorized.
The immediate application Of any
rigid ssytem to grazing lands is op.
osed, but the commission recommends
that the president be authorized to
set aside grazing districts by procla-
nation, said districts 10 be under
control Ut the secretary Of aRricul-
ture
The commission also recommends:
"'Ths right to exchange lands In
forest reservations for lands outside
should be withdrawn" "provision
should b. made for the purchase OF
needed private lands inside forest rs.
serves, or for the exchange Of such
lands for tracts of like area snd value
outside the reservstions;" "the
communication clause of the homestead
act being found to work badly, three
years actual residence should be re.
quired before commutation;" "the
desert land act being fond to lead to
monopoly In many cases, the area Of
q deser: entry should be reduced to
not more than 100 acres, actual resi-.
dencs for three years should be re-
quirsd, the actual production on q
valuable crop on one fourth the area
and proof OF an adequate water sup
ply being necessary" The com.
mission concludes: 1.-The funda-
mental fact that chsrscterizes the
situation under the public land laws
is this-thst the number OF patents
issued is increasing out OF sll proper
tiou to the number of new homes.
