bed of $1,000 feet of white pine tim
Der land by the Rooth-K Kelly Lumber
company which had acquired title to
the old military road grant in south
ern Oregon.
The Telegram editorial reviews the
deal by which the Booth-Kelly COM
pany exchanged 11l,SS5 acres of
worthless lava rock land for this
magnificent tract of $1,000 acres of
solid white pine timber valued at over
100000.
The Geal is called the monumental
land fraud of the west and the presi-
dony is urged TO order an investigation
which may result in restitution for
the pillaged Indian tribel
The East Oregonian believes that
when the inside facts are presented
to President Roosevelt. that he will
order an investigation and if there is
any possible way in which he can Sc
cure justice for the Klamaths, it will
be mete1 out to them.
Tho petty land thieves who have
occupied the stage in Oregon are but
understudies for the great corpora
tons which get all the actual bene-
frits. Where the little fish have been
guilty of stealing hundreds of acres,
the hig fish have stolen millions of
acres and under the protection of
special acts of congress have escaped
punishment for their high-handed
frauds.

THE SoRRoWFU1 SPRING H4T.

tpOAb4bOtL CA< A1- AaAAs AA
 If the Spring hat has feeling, and 1t looks as If it might have, it sorrowed yesterday when it found that it's beauty wasn't going to have fair show on account of what queer poet called the beautiful snow. Beautiful snow indeed! Beautiful slush, But never mind. The Spring hat is here, and here to stay, in spite of such Encouragement as that of yesterday. It will shine brighter than ever when the sun comes again to give it it's needed opportunity. So too will the wearers of the Spring hat, many of whom felt yesterday as if quite a damper had been put upon shin ing.
 Shine on, Spring hat, also Spring sun. The sooner and the more both of you shine the more pleased many who have had enough beautiful snow will be.

THE BASIS OF NAVAL POWER.

Not Only the Ships, but the Men Who
 Are on Them.
 What constitutes an efficient navy? Not ships, guns and machinery alone or even chiefly. but thoroughly train ed, zealous and efficient officers and men. The ships of Cervera's fleet in 1898 were considered by some good judges to be superior to those com manded by Sampson, yet they were utterly Wipped out in a few hours. What are the vital clements of per- sonal efficiency? Good engineers, good burners and good seamen. These are the men we must have if the nation is to derive full value fer the millions that it has spent and is spending on the fleet.
 It has been stated so often that it is becoming trite, but it Is nevertheless absolutely true that warship is a great floating machine, and obviously the men Wflo can maintain its efflci- ency must be skilled in the knowledge and practice of handling machinery, in other words they must be engineers.
 
 been such that apart from the medical and the accountant officers, all others spend most of their time in directing men whose chief work is with machin- cry of some kind. Even guns of small caliber are intricate mecfaanisms, and the great guns iwth the turrets are aggregations of machinery of very powerful and complicated kind. The torpedoes and their anclllarles are likewise delicate and complicated ma chimes. When we come to submarines, even the air for respiration may de- uend on machinery. These are all men, tioned as showing how thoroughly the work which mas always been the pro vince of the deck officer has become engineering work. It must be obvious, therefore, how accurate was the statement of President Roosevelt twhen Assistant Secretary of the Navy) in 1897 that "On the modern war vessel every officer has to be an engineer whether he wants to or not w.

port of material, such as is not produc- ed in the country, and while granting freedom from national taxes, the com- pany is not freed from the payment of provincial and municipal taxation. This will mean that the coneession will not be taken up, for no railroad com pany in it's senses would accept any concession in which it was left as a prey to provincial and municipal tax ation. While the present tendency of the Senate toward the railroad com panies remains, it will mean that no more capital will be brought into the country for railroad extensions. This in the long run must prove detrimental to the general interests of the country Killing geese that lay golden eggs, or, at least, discouraging them from lay ing, seems quite prevalent now. But there will be a change for the better

GROVER CT lEENEIA AND.

To-day, in 1887, Grover Cleveland was born in Caldwell, N. J, He has been assistant district attorney and sheriff of Erie county, N, Y; mayor of Buffalo, governor of this common wealth and twice President of the Uni ted States. He is now resident of Princeton, only a few miles from where he was born. His sunset of life is be- ing spent in his native state, near his birthplace.
 His father, a Yale graduate, was also inducted into the ministry at Princeton seminary, and soon after was married
 to Miss Neal, of Baltimore. When Gro yer Cleveland's father visited Prince ton during his residence in Caldwell, he sometimes brought his son Grover with him to see the seminary and look at Nassau Hall, the college of New Jersey, as 1t was then called. The family's subsequent removal to west ern New York cast the son's lot in this state, until events sent him to Wash ington as President, On the close of

The Easy Street Myth.

Pray, tell me where is Easy street, That boulevard so bright, Where life flows like a sllvery song, A dream of deep delight? The present would seem grand and
 sweet,
 The future without fear. If I could live on Easy street For six months in the year. Iris there on roses soft they rest, On velvet deep they pace; Their raiment of the very beat Of linen fine and lace; The choicest there they drink and eat, They know not toll nor care There's naught too good on Easy street For people who live there. The gas man never threatens there, His rent no landlord seeks; The butcher or the mllkman neer Above whisper speaks, The cook is full of sweet good will And always loves to stay; The coal man dares not send his bill Till folks may choose to pay. But yet that favored street we see On both sides, up and down, To deaths black camel open free As any street in. town. And when before some darkening door He takes his stubborn place Small heed has he of velvet floor, Of purple or fine lace, Alas, while good, bad, foul and fair In every place are found, There's no such street as Easy street In all the world around. But yet we feel that fate we'd meet Without reproach or fear Could we but live on Easy street For six months in the year.

PERHAPS ANorHER CHAPTER.

We have helped little Cuby'' several times, and perhaps we are not through yet. Indeed, it looks very much as if we were not. The situation there is in many ways not encouraging to those who have hoped that little Cuby" would be able to take care of herself. Among the talk that is going the rounds is that at the municipal elec- tions to be held probably in June the property-holders will refuse to vote, that the negroes and the low and vic- ious elements of the population will thus secure the offices; that diplomatic representations will then be made to the United States by England, France, Germany and Spain that they will look to this country for damages in case of destruction of their property in the island; that the situation will compel the United States to announce a pro- tectorate over Cuba.
 This may or may not be true. Time will tell, But 1t does seem to be true that good many people both in and out of Cuba want the Unted State there.

It Is gratifying to officers of the arr tillery corps to see that the effects of the artillery act are beneficial on re-en- listment. One of the conditions which promised to affect the artillery corps adversely was the difficulty of retain ing trained men, who, when their en- listment period expired, left the service and found lucrative employment out side. Among the provisions of the ar tillery act was the authority to employ gunners as observers, plotters, etc., at additional pay, amounting to $6 or $S a month. This is attractive, and is prov- ing an indueement for men to re-enlist. They find that their services are ap- preciated and are to be paid for at a rate which compares somewhat favor ably with the pay they could make in civil life. As there are not enough of these extra places to go around, care is taken to select the best men, with the result that it is this class of soldiers who are remaining In the service.

THE SAD CASE OF BOSTON


 A bill before the Massachusetts legis- lature limits the height of buildings in all cities and towns in the State, except Boston, to one and one-half times the width of the street with a maximum height of one hundred feet in cities and eighty feet in towns. Boston Is exempt from the law against trespassing upon the upper air because the city lis al- ready condemned by the number of high buildings already erected, to the per- petual toleration of this evil"
 Bostons sad case wont excite gen. eral pity. We suppose that buildings of moderate height have their advan- tages, but buildings of immoderate height also have theirs. The perform ances in New York in this line are ex- treme, but the demand has pushed the buildings up into the sky there. And so far no terrible things have happened to the modern Babel-toWers. There will be more and higher ones. Per- ,haps the Massachusetts legislature wont save the rest of Massachusetts from the evir' that has already over- taken Boston. There will yet be a pressing demand Tor high buildings in some parts of Massachusetts outside of Boston.

SOME MODERN BUSINESS.

Business is business. So the other day at seabright, New Jersey, there might have been seen, and were seen, many tons of fish which had been held in the cold storage houses there for several montlls, carted out to the farms near by and thrown upon the ground as fertilizer. There is number of cold storage plants on the coast, some of them with capacity of three-quarters of a million pounds. They were estab- 1lshed for the purpose of retaining the catch of the pound-nets from the city markets in order that high prices may prevail Most of them are owned by the pound-net owners. All of these cold storage plants have been filled this winter, and all are being emptied in the same way to make room for the new catches, which will begin in about two weeks. If the many tons of fish thrown out upon the fields from the cold storage plants had been sent to market 1t could harO been sold at the fair prices that prevailed before the fish trust got control of the output
 With reasonable prices thousands of
 dollars would have been saved to con sumers, and many family among the poor would have had good edible fish or
 their tables. As it was, the high prices made fish a luxury.
 What can be done about such busi-
 ness? Not much now, probably.

No act of the President has aroused such general condemnation from the newspapers of the Pacific Northwest as his Forest Reservation proclamation. The Portland Oregonian is one of the papers that assert that forest reserva- tion is overdone, and that many poor settlers are grievously wronged. It says: "Fosterity may rise up and bless the present administration for stunt ing our development now in order that 1t may have an opportunity to expand later, but the policy is working an in- justice on large number of legiti- mate homeseekers, on whom the gates have been closed"
