OREGON'S SHARE SLIM.

The following is taken from
the Oregonian's special from
Washington showing how the re-
clamation funds were distributed:
Out of that allotted by Presi-
dent Taft for carrying on Coy
ernment irrigation work during
the next five years, Oregon re-
ceived meager 1926, 900, which
was about 2 per cent of the total.
Six hundred thousand dollars of
this goes to complete approved
and accepted portions of the kla-
math projects, and 1926, 600 to
complete a fourth small unit of
the present Umatilla project, be-
ing lands lying between these
now under irrigation and the
Columbia River.
The west side extension of the
Umatilla project, which would
cost from $4, 500, 600 to S., 600, 600
is turned down by the Board of
Army Engineers and by the Pre-
sident. and having been turned
down again, cannot now be APP
proved or built until 1915 or later,
inasmuch as all funds now avail
able and all in contemplation
before that time are distributed.
Had this west side extension
been approved, Oregon's benefits
from the reclamation fund would
have been reasonably commen-
surate with its contributions to
that fund, but with this project
left out, Oregon remains the
goat" The state must sit by
and see its funds used in states
that have contributed far less
and that equitably are entitled to
far less.
Other states that have contri-
buted little to the reclamation
fund have been royalty treated
by the President in his Christ
mas distribution of funds. Mon
tana receives approximately $8,-
600, 900; Idaho gets more than
$1,000, 600; Wyoming over S6,-
600, 900; Colorado, $5, 900, 900, and
the Rio Grande project, partly in
Mexico and partly in Texas, gets
nearly 81, 900, 600, yet Texas and
Mexico constituted nothing to
the reclamation fund.
All states named, taken con-
junctively, have contributed little
more to the reclamation fund
fund than Oregon alone. But
their senators were very active,
both in pushing through the $780,
900, 600 irrigation bill, which
passed at the last session, and in
repeating section 8 of the recla-
matian act, which was a protec-
ton to Oregon, but which stood
between these states and the big
aIlotments they now receive.
Had section 9 not been repeal
ed, it would have been incumbent
and binding upon both the Presi-
dent and Army Engineers Board
to adopt the west side extension
of the Umatilla project, for un-
der that section it would have
been necessary to give back to
Oregon a major portion of its
contribution to the reclamation
fund, and in this way alone could
that have been done. Oregon's S
contribution is SO, ,062, 1876.

The annual ball given by the
fire department last night was a
very pleasant affair and attended
by a large crowd of young peo-
pie. The supper given by the
Ladies' Auxiliary was a feature
much appreciated by those in
attendance. 1t was good and
the ladies cleared a neat sum to
apply to the town clock.

fall on and crush us is real: the power IS there the machinery is manned and oiled, and we will not be al- lowed to forget that at the word of command it COULD be set into relentless motion.
 The election has this sig nificance regarding the pres ent and future of the terri tory: the problems that most concern Alaska must receive early consideration. They cannot much longer be put off, and that is encouraging. If nothing else comes of it Wickersham's election will force the issue.

WHAT subtle essence is there in the office of United States commissioner that neutralizes in the holder of the office all the finer sensibilities that en- able him to choose rightly between right and wrong? There is some insidious microbe common to the office, or else the higher officials are very unfortunate in their selections of men to fill the places. For long time one J. Lindley Green held the record as the sorriest specimen of United States commissioner

ever imposed on any place along the Yukon. He lived at Rampant several years and was under many obligations to the people. When he was leaving the country he ribbed up unfounded charges against many Rampant people and put them and the town practically out of business.

~V~~~VN N<~>||S<| commissioner openly aided and abetted the abominable crime. He was there to in- struct the election officers in the law, and among them it was ruled that steamboat men could vote regardless of the residence requirement of the law. Possibly thirty of these transient river men were voted before a telegram authorized a challenger to represent Wickersham and the outrage was abated.
 As the fraud went on a reputed Canadian of mixed blood-a man who notori- ously lives a depraved life, is Lawless by name and nature and was at that time publicly known to be guilty of a felony-went in and voted without protest. In the af- ternoon Andrew Kokrine, an Alaska native of about the same blood status as Lawless, having a residence in Tan ana, supporting a family and keeping them fairly clean--- Kokrine was challenged, but with many misgivings was finally allowed to vote.
 Others played a discredita- ble part in the dirty little crime of Tuesday, but Phil Gallaher, the commissioner, was a live example of both cultus officialism and debased citizenship.

WHAT WILL COME FROM
 THE ELECTION.

What immediate effect the election for delegate will have on Alaskan affairs is a question. Newspapers that opposed Wickersham for two months constantly asserted that his reelection would ruin the country because out of hatred for him the federal administration would put it on the bum. Many Orr fol- lowers professed to believe SO. That was a stock argu- ment in the campaign. It implied that President Taft had the power to blight Alaska and would not hesi- tate to use it in order to take a petty revenge. It amount ed to charge so abhorrent to clean-minded men that it did more than anything else to cause Orr's overwhelming defeat, because Orr got to be associated in peoples minds with the obnoxious ideas of his boosters.
 If it had not been asserted over and over that Wicker sham's election would cause the administration to turn against Alaska it would not occur to the Leader to say it does not believe there has ever been a president and cabinet small minded enough for a thing like that. The administration will continue to hold views that we do not believe are best for Alaska, but we have no fear that the territory will be slaughtered spitefully or wantonly. At the same time the thing that made it possible for the Orr campaigners to din into the peoples ears the cry that federal vengeance is ready to

OUR old friend Abe Collins's pet say- ing, "Rampart agin the world," is just as timely as it ever was. The vote up there stood Wickersham IS, Orr 6. The proportion was all right, but there is a sad deficiency in the bulk.

THE LOCAL SHAME.

On election day in the town of Tanana a man un- der the influence of liquor made himself obnoxious at the voting place and was hustled away and locked up by the deputy marshal. He was not. far gone in drunk enness and was not violent; just simply meddlesome and out of place under the infu- ence of liquor. It so hap pened that he was an avowed Wickersham man. Every man who knew the circum- stances, regardless of parti- sanship, approved the deputy marshaps action. The officer said the offenders misbeha- vior was moro deplorable be- cause Governor Clark was in town, and that view was ap- proved. Perhaps the offender himself would now say the marshal did right.
 That was all very good and very decorous. But a short time before that a far more disgraceful thing-a thing that should have scandalized all decent people the more because the governor was in town seemed to cause no shock to many of those who witnessed or participated in it. The election law was shamelessly violated. Not only that: the United States

Eight inches of sand and gravel were
