Bic PRICE
FOR Land

The manner in which the decision in
favor of the Mahuka site for the Fed
eral building sent the value Of land
in that section up, is shown by trans
fer which was recorded this morning
in the office of Registrar of Convey
ances Merriam. The lot of land on the
east corner of Bishop and Merchant
streets, which contains but 2617 square
feet was sold by w. C. Peacock to H..
r. Berry for the sum of $13 1855, OF
very nearly Sc per square foot.
H. R. Berry is the capitalist who re-
turned to the coast by the China on
Saturday and who is backing the new
automatic telephone company in con-
nection with the wireless proposition,
He stated before leaving here that he
would look after the financial matters
which would arise and through the
payment of this amount for land seems
to be in line to follow out this policy.
There were no papers showing that the
property is to be turned over to the
new telephone company, on record.

they gotten up by the members of the
Board, all the members of the board,
or did one man draw them up?"
"The Supervisors are now entitled
to their seats" said Cox land rules
should be adopted as the next move
There is at present no necessity of
new rules the Mayor declared, and
until necessary we can proceed under
the old rules (The retiring Board care
fl lily abolished all rules, by resolution,
which resolution, by the way, bore no
date).
Kane arose to demand that the ques
ton of the adoption of the proposed
rules be put
He was ruled out of order by Fern.
The board by a vote of six to one,
Mcclellan voting no, overruled the
chair and proceeded to adopt its rules.

For the purpose of operating there
in a railroad in connection with mill

junction of Kalakaua Avenue with Sa-

while perhaps, strictly in accord

right of way, yet we do not desire to
seek to acquire any rights without a
previous consultation and conference
with you.
The Territory has agreed to make
the necessary REIMBURSEMENT of all OF
its rights, and the Secretary of War
will unquestionably have the Presi-

necessary proclamation in accordance
with the Organic Act Nevertheless
we desire your concurrence in our ac-

Lees coming first to Oregon in 1884

they would say, in terms of social I'M

give no man the honor which past
generations have thought his due The
figure of Marcus Whitman has been
most assailed by these historical crit
les. Without doubt extravagant claims
have been made for him by his friends.
Under the pressure of opposition eXag-
gerated statements have been made
To say that he alone was the savior Of

when the clouds of controversy have

NO BREAD FAMINE YET.

Owing to his prominence as rail-
road manager in the northwest, James
J. Hills wheat prophecy has attracted
attention in Europe as well as Ameri-
ca His pessimism is not shared by
the general run of men who make a
study of the worlds food supplies.
Even a fair wheat crop in the Unit
ed States now means 100000 bush
els, or 125.OO0,00O bushels more than
we consume This crop is grown from
a territory that yields on the average
less than fifteen bushels to the acre.
That is not quite half the average
amount which every acre in wheat Gull
tivation in England and the Neither
lands produces.
\ very large part of Americas wheat
farms are capable of a production up
to these European standards. All that
is required to double the harvest re-
turn is the same care in regard to seed
and to the intensive methods In cult
walton that is bestowed by the British
md Dutch farmers.
Before the United States shall import
bushel of wheat it will pay the
farmers of this country to increase
their acreage Bread famines have
been talked about for centuries.
1t is doubtful if any person living
today will see the United States doing
much in the way of buying foreign
wheat. The attractive price will en-

will face his enemies at the regular
session of the house from the speakers
chair. will be a candidate for election
to the next house. and, if successful,
will not run away from another con-
test for the speakership if his friends
desire him to lead them.
Probably both Mr.. Cannon's friends
never declined a fight, and has lost but
few. He responds to the call of time
like a veteran. He believes what he
believes strongly. and gives his reasons
promptly His style of emphasis is
sometimes open to criticism. but his
earnestness never.
Let us hope that the veterans of both
parties now in office may follow Mr..
CannOns example. We are on the eve
of most important legislation, dealing
with questions which call for expert
ence as we'll as ability in the handling.
Both our domestic and our foreign af-
fairs reflect our wonderful growth and
our new place among the nations.
Foremost among our domestic prob
lens is that of the currency. 1t is gen.
orally agreed that something should be
done on that line. Some would go
further than others. but even the most
conservative would make changes in
the present currency laws
There are divisions in both parties
on this subject The president and Mr..
Cannon are not in agreement. And
bankers and financiers. as we'll as poll
ticians and lawmakers. are in cOntrO-
versy. Before the debate begins in
congress-and the time for that is not
fiXed-We may nd the business world
more stirred than it has ever been by
the tariff
Here is where the veterans come in.
They know the storI-part of it from
having helped make it. They are ia
miliar with all the arguments that have
been accepted or rejected by the coun-
try in the past forty years. They read
the present in the light of a full lnOWl-
edge of the past SO that their cOntri-
buttons to the coming discussion should
possess much value.
Mr. CannOns interest in this sub
ject. and his desire to be a factor in
congress in its settlement, must be the
greater for the reason that he is a
banker as we'll as a lawmaker. He
has studied it from both viewpoints.
And there is Mr.. Aldrich, business man
and laWmaller who probably agrees
with the president Shall we see Mr..
Aldrich and Mr.. Cannon opposing each
other as vigorously on this question
as they supported each other on the
tariff question?

THE GALVESTON sEAWALL.

The virtue of the great Galveston
seawall. as demonstrated last sum-
mer. has been widely commented on,
Yet not overmuch, says the Oregon
Journal Galveston occupies the east
end of an island 80 miles long and
from one to three miles wide, lying
only five feet above the level of the
great Gulf of MeXico-a sea sometimes
raging tremendously Yet there has
been founded. and is maintained, a
great port.
There occurred one Of the great
est tragedies, and greatest victories.
Of time. on September s, 1900, over
5000 people were killed and $4,000 600
worth of property was destroyed at
this place by a great gulf wave. But
the remaining people of Galveston did
not give up They thought and worked
new things. Even while suffering
poignantly in many ways they built a
triumph of concrete creation.
The Galveston wall is three and one
third miles long: it rises l. feet above
high water; it is 16 feet thick at the
base and five feet at the surface 1t is
built on piles driven As feet in the
