Commissioner Steusloff Says 70 Per

State Commissioner Steusloff, in an
interview, gives some interesting
facts concerning the sheep industry
in Oregon. He said:

sheep Is so serious in this state"
said Commissioner Steusloss, that
oregon has been quarantined against
by every state in the union. Since
Oregon, however, has adopted suit
able code of laws for the complete
eradication of the disease. The
sheepmen demand protection against
other states. Governor Chamberlain
has issued a proclamation declaring
quarantine against Washington, Ne
vada and California, which have en-
acted laws for wiping out the conta-
gion.

The farmers in the west have been
greatly alarmed in the last few weeks
by the persistent circulation of re-
port to the effect that the adminis-
tration was preparing to make a
charge for water derived from the
national forests and used for irriga-
ton and other general purposes. The
report has not the slightest basis of
fact, and has been denied by officials
of the forest service.
People OF the sections Of the west
where irrigation has been such an i'm
portant factor in development, were
naturally much concerned in the ru-
mored charge for water coming from
the national forests. The interests of
people concerned with forestry and
irrigation are much the same, as the
steady flow of most of the irrigating
streams is absolutely dependent on
the preservation of the forest water
sheds.
In letter to Hon. Edward T. Tay-
lor of Glenwood Springs Col, con-
cerning the rumored charge for water
for irrigation, Forester Pinchot says
that he does not believe there ever
should be, or ever will be, a charge
for water for irrigation.
The erroneous report was founded
on Misrepresentation regarding the
charges which electric power COM
panies are required to pay for use
and occupancy of lands in the nation
al forests for reservoir sites, conduit
rights of way, and power stations.
This charge is solely for the use of
the lands, based on their value for
such purposes, and is not in any
sense a charge for water The ap-
preparation and use of water is reg
ulated solely by the state and the
forest service has no jurisdiction in
the matter.
In the case of irrigation projects,
the forest service does not even
charge for the use of lands for reser-
voirs and canals. Hundreds of per-
mits have been issued bT the forester
to occupy and use national forest
lands for irrigation reservoirs and
conduits, and such permits are always
granted free.

Athena Farmers Hold Their Wheat

william Pinkerton of Athena, ar
rived here Monday morning for visit
with the family of his son, N. H. Pink
erton, on Agency Plains. Mr.. Pinker-
ton says that the crop prospects in
the Athena country are exceptionally
good and that all indications point
to a high price for this seasons crop.
At Athena they are now offering to
contract wheat for after harvest de-
livery at 70h cents per bushel, with
few takers. Most of the farmers re-
fuse to contract because they believe
that prices will be much higher than
that, and some of them predict that
the dream of dollar wheat will be
realized this year.-Madras Pioneer.

The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1907-11-21
vALEDIcTORY

So far as we can see at the pres
ent time this issue Of the Miner
will be the last got out under the
editorship Of its founder. The
paper was started with insufficient
capital at time when, though we
did not know it, the local stock
market was already started on a
steady decline which finally re-
suited in almost absolute stagna-
ton. Under these circumstances
we did not get the support we had
expected and which was necessary
to make a success OF the paper;
and now we have reached a point
beyond which our resources will
not permit us to 90.
We have been loyalty supported
by our subscribers and to them we
wish to express our thanks. We
shall make some arrangements by
which they will continue to secure
the mining news Of this section at
least until such time as their indi-
vidual subscriptions expire.
Our advertising columns show
that we have had few staunch
friends. To them our thanks are
also due and if there had been a
few more Of them the penning OF
this editorial would not have been
necessary, at least at this time.
We do not attribute our failure
to the district. 1t is all right. No
other mining camp in the United
States can compare with it. We
trust that our readers will continue
to maintain and increase their
financial interests in it, because we
know OF no place they can so safely
invest their money in mines with
prospects Of such large returns.

CURRENCY LEGISLATION

The great issue at the next session
Of congress will necessarily, in oul
opinion, be the question Of cur
rency. Apparently something will
have to be done. The question is
along what lines shall action be
taken?
We venture the prediction that the
money power will urge the authoriza-
ton of asset currency by the banks.
This remedy, it seems to us, will
only aggravate the disease from
which the nation is suffering be-
cause it will place the money power,
through its control of the banks,
in stronger position than ever to
precipitate a money panic at any
time it sees fit.
The free coinage Of silver at any
ratio without an international
agreement would certainly involve
us in grave difficulties and might
easily result in putting the country
on a silver basis, a position which
would seriously handicap us as re-
CARDS both import and export trade.
We are therefore in favor Of a
central bank Of issue, chartered on
the lines of the banks Of England,
France and Germany, and the
establishment Of a postal savings
bank to begin with. Such currency
as was put into circulation by the
United States bank would be re-
deemable in gold and if any further
currency were required it could be
provided by the government in the
form Of greenbacks.
To keep the new currency in cir
culation congress should legisiate 50
u to decrease the nations income
3r increase its expenditures TOR
public improvements Or both. IT

should not set the example OF
boarding money. The nation
needs no surplus in its treasury,
but it does need vast amount of
productive public works that it has
not yet got, the cost of which could
be met either out OF surplus rev
enue or from funds borrowed from
savings bank depositors at low in
Z terest.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1907-11-21

This Panama bond business
would be a screaming farce if it
were not a damnable outrage on
the public, perpetrated in the sole
interest Of the money power. The
government does not need the
money realized from the sale of these
bonds and will have to deposit it
again in the banks as soon az re-
ceiycd, which will enable the banke
to loan it out to the people once
more at interest. Meanwhile the
government will be paying interest
to the bankers ON the bonds and as
the bonds are made the basis Of
new national bank currency the
banks will quickly have another
wad Of money to loan out at inter
est to the public. Thus we find
the banks drawing interest three
times on the same money; first,
from the government on the bonds,
second, from the people on govern
ment deposits; and third, from the
people on the currency based on
the bonds. An issue Of greenbacks
would have saved the people at
least the interest on the bonds.
