There is a great future in store fol

There is great future in store for
the Echo -Hermiston district in this
country, but there is an element OF
dissension manifested, particularly
among the people of Hermiston, that
if not quelled, and that at once, will
Ietard the growth and prosperity of
the place. The vast resources which
the reclamation project will make pos
sible for development do not in the
least hinge on the question whether or
not Hermiston exists in fact or other
wise, aud the sooner the jarring pro-
perty owners down there come to this
realization, the better it will he for
them. The territory embraced under
the reclamation project is Of sufficient
productive worth that when developed,
it is capable OF supporting several good
towns, and to him who looks at the
matter from disinterested viewpoint,
comes the conviction that the Hermis-
ton scrap has to do with Hermiston
alone, aud the flame of dissension, il
allowed to burn, will be the means of
inducement for new aud more pro-
gressive town in that vicinity.

WASTE OF SLABWooD.

We do not know that there is any
help for the slabwood situation in this
city; we do not see that any existing
law can change it; yet needs no argu-
ment to prove that it is bad situation,
which somehow ought to be changed.
When people were few and timber
all too plentiful in and right around
Portland it was all right, it was nec-
essary, to destroy great quantities of
timber suitable for fuel, but conditions
have SO changed that to do SO now is
morally criminal wastefulness. Fuel
is scarce and high, and is constantly
becoming scarcer and higher. Popu-
lation is rapidly increasing, and the
supply of wood fuel decreasing. For
poor people the annual fuel bill is con-
stantly becoming larger and more of
burden. Yet thousands upon thou
sands of cords or loads of fuel in the
shape of slabwood is thrown away
where it is inaccessible or is burnt as
waste.
Why should the principal mills of
the city agree to sell only to one or two
dealers, thus giving them monopoly
and enabling them to Put up the price
to whatever figure they please? Why
should the mills haul slabwood off and
dump it by thousands of loads in
sloughs when people need it for fuel
and are willing and anxious to pay
reasonable price for it-a price that
would bring the millmen more than
the trust pays them and yet afford
good large percentage of profit to
dealers?
It is easy to understand that Banfield
& Veysey will charge monopoly prices
if that firm controls the supply, will
exact all the traffic will bear; as Mr..
Banfield says. almost anybody would
do that; but how can this firm control
the market unless with the concurrence
of the mill owners. and why do they
wish this firm, or any firm or com bi-
nation of firms, to have a monopoly?
Why should the millmen wish consum-
ers to pay so or 100 per cent more for
slabwood than it ought to be worth.
unless they get division of the pro-
fits? And if exorbitant profits are
thus made and divided, isn't this spill
ing it on" to consumers pretty heavily,
considering the prices of lumber and
other building materials?
No, we suppose that, this being a
local business, not subject to the fed
eral law, there is no help for it, and
that the poor people thus held up can
do nothing. But at least an effort
should be made to stop the waste by
dumping slabwood in gulches within
the city limits. With fuel becoming
scarce and high, that seems like
adding insult TO injury. Portland

SEEK TREASURE OF LAFITTE.
Its Hiding Place Has Been Pointed
Out In Dreams Of Ghosts.

Since the French privateer and
smuggler, Jean Lafltte, sailed the high
seas and brought his treasures to the
gulf coast and buried them now and
then 1t happens that some sensation
arises as to their immediate where
abouts, says the Houston Post.
Thirty.four years ago the pirate OF
the gulf. as Lafitte was called, appear
ed In dream to DR.. ,Beazly, and,
rather roughly taking him by the col
lar, told him to come with him and
he would show him where there were
gold and silver and diamonds buried.
The doctor in his dream followed his
midnight visitor and he directed him
to certain place in the cottage. which
was then the Beazly home and occu-
pied by the family. and designated
the spot under which lies the much
talked-of wealth of the privateer.
!. The doctor, having the same dream
repeated twice in the same night, be-
came wide awake after Lafitte's third
visit and much interested, the result
being that he did, and perhaps, too,
very shortly afterward, begin digging
under the house in pursuit OF the
treasure
After getting to the depth of four
or five feet he found nothing of any
moment except very unusual stone
in this part of the world, where moth
ing OF its kind was ever seen here.
Had he kept on possibly the treas

restless spirit of Lafitte, wherever it
may be. might have been released
from this burden of secrecy, burden
from which. seemingly, he wished to
be relieved. as another visit has been
made In the same house, and this time
