East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-12-06

Official records show that the to-
tai set aside for irrigation projects
actually undes way, for those for
which bids have been received and
those that have been approved by
the secretary of the interior is SS2,-
$4,000.
A compilation of figures from gov
ernment reports gives 1,6S5'3OO acres
as the total to be watered under the
first units of the 25 projects at a cost
of 100000. 900, and S,O2S,SOO as the
total acreage that these projects Will
eventually cover with bitches al a
cost of S1Os, 600, if preliminary
investigations hold. Still more mon
ev must be set aside to complete these
opening projects.
VARYING estimates are made of the
total acreage that ultimately will be
reclaimed in the states and terri
tories embraced in the act. The
nearest to official is 100000 acres
at a cost Of 5000, 100000. Another
estimate is 100000 acres, The
figures at the smallest indicate IL
nal result of great magnitude. some
enthusiast has said that "if work Is
carried out as contemplated today
an area of desert and serni-produc-
tive land two-fifths as large as the
present cultivated area Of the United
States will be reclaimed.
The total expense of this work Will
be $500. 100000, and the estimated
value Of the lang brought under wa
ter s3.O00.OOO,O0O. providing homes
for 5000, 900 farmers"
There is enough in the future OF
this work. at any rate, to make 1t a
GROWING glory. With the revolving
fund virtually a continuous chain
.scheme. all the money paid out for
projects must flow back, over and
over again, in the payment for wa
ter rights.
Total Value Of Reclaimed Land.
Some Of this money will not be re-
turned in the first 10 years for there
will doubtless be settlers that will
become tired Of farming, or for va
rious reasons will be unsuccessful In
their first efforts and default. But
st will all come back in time fol
eventually title to every foot Of the
reclaimed land and every water right
will rest in someone. Thus the rec.
lamation work need never end until
every feasible project has been car
ried out.
The total acreage that It was
thought could be reclaimed has d.
minished somewhat through the dis
covery by the reclamation engineers
that some tentative projects tha
seemed favorable have proven no
feasible, either because OF poor sol

Why Not In OHIO u?

Washington dispatches say that Mr..
Roosevelt has reconsidered his deter
mination to appoint a negro to one of
the most lucrative Offices within the
presidents control IN the State of Ohio.
According to these reports Representa-
tive Nicholas Longworth, Mr. Roose-
velt's son in-law, urged the president
not to appoint the negro.
Recently Colum ous, o., Clispatcb
to the New York Sun said: ''It is
said that every white man in the Gin
cinnati offices will resign the moment
that Tyler. the negro. IS appointed.
The Washington correspondent for the
New York Times said:
Meanwhile the Republicans Of Gin
cinnati, who arc in all kinds of trouble
politically and have been ever since a
celebrated speech of Secretary Taft.
are begging the President not to send
Tyler there. They are urging nm TO
send Tyler to Cleveland, where the peo-
pie are all abolitionists and won't
mind. Cincinnati is too close TO the
Kentucky border to care much about
William Lloyd Garrison.
But why should these Republicans OBJ
ject to the appointment of a negro to
high Federal Office ? We heard TO
such protests from that quarter when
any of the many appointments were
made giving to negroes important
Offices in the south.
What has become of that door of
hope?" What about the '-door Of OPP
portunity?" Why not open it as vide
to the Tylers of Ohio as to the Crums

Then Give Us Publicity.

Newspaper editors seeking to Justify
the publication Of the unsavory details
of the sensational Thaw trial say that
publicity" is the best possible remedy
for the evils out of which such sensa-
tons grow and to that end '-alI the de-
tails relating to this affair should be
uncovered"
1t is noticeable, however, that when
ever it develops in the course of testi-
mony that some bloated millionaire,
outside of parties Immediately concen-
ed in the trial, figures in the disgrace
full practices, the name is whispered in
the ears of the attorneys.
What about publicity" at this june
ture? If the publication of the details
of this dirty story is to be justified on
the ground of publicity" then by all
means give us publicity but let not the
penalty OF exposure be confined to the
slayer of the New York architect or his
snnhappy zsife.
Let 1t extend all along the lire let
the names of those who participated in
the orgies concerning which the public
has been treated to so much detail

may be vindicated and in order. also,
that the moral lepers may be branded

4 TALE WITH A MORAL
Why a Drummer Cut a Town OF

The Drummer Gave Him Something

body could see, was a drummer for
