Land Problems.


Washington. Dec. 9.-Secretary Bal
linger submitted to congress his annual
report of the department Of the in
terror. Much space Is devoted to public
lands problems After reciting the his
tory of the public domain and giving
statistics to show that there are now
remaining unappropriated and nnre-
served III, 400 acres Of public land
in continental Uuited States and Alas
ka, the secretary says:
The question now Is of saving the
remnant Of tho sSrblic lands from
abandoning the old policies Of encour-
aging development. The highest pro-
ductive use Of these lands is the con-
Germ Of the people, The methods of Sc
curing this use are the concern Of ma
tional and state governments
"The federal government should not
undertake or assume the entire burden
of the conservation Of the natural re-
sources, for 1t has been demonstrated
that the states are capable OF taking
care of these questions in large meas
ure.
During the year ending June so,
1910. 37,s11 land cases were received,
.
554 cases were closed. Four hundred
and sixty-six civil and criminal convic-
tions were found; $o27,211 was tender
ed for settlement of trespasses on the
public domain: s114,653 was actually
paid in as the result of civil and crimi-
nal actions. Four thousand six hum
dred and sixty-five entries were cancel
ed as the result of Investigations.
"The area OF public and Indian lands
included in original entries and filings
during the fiscal year 1910 Is 26,391 .269
acres, which Is an increase Of $685.
765 acres over the area entered during
the year 1909.
"The total cash receipts from the
sales of public lands. including fees
and commissions, were $S371,e37; from
the sales of Indian lands, $2,037.551;
and from reclamation water right
charges, $770,5S6."

We Wonder WHY.

We often wonder why it is so
many young men ear be seen
loafing upon u streets until a
late hour of night. Many of them
are from the best homes. The
fathers of these young men, many
of them at least, are numbered
among our best citizens. If their
COW or their horse, or their fay-
orite dog was away from home
after dark they would be out ON
a search, but their own children
can roam the town all night with
apparently no effort being made
to find them. The boy seems to
be turned loose at a tender age
to wander at will into the paths
Of sin and vice and then we won
der where all our tramps and
worthless specimens of humanity
come from. 1t is a regrettable
fact that too many of them come
from seed terminated in good
homes and then sown in a care
less manner upon our streets and
back alleys. Reader, is your boy
wasting his time upon IL streets
If SO had you better not, at least,
look after him as carefully at
nightfall as you would your cow
and horse. We did not intimate
that this evil exists to a greater
extent in this community than in
our sister towns, but the evil
seems universal and increases in
magnitude as the years roll by.

THE ELIMINATION OF THE
TIEHEN HILL.

The petition signed by a large
number of farmers living south
of Salem requesting that the
board of commissioners change
the road where it now runs dir
ectly over the steep hill neal the
Tiehen home so as to pass around
the hill, has been allowed. The
road at this particular place can,
without difficulty, be greatly inn
proved. If properly engineered,
the grade can be almost entirely
eliminated without increasing the
extent of the road. 4 casual
glance at the situation causes one
to wonder what ever possessed
the original surveyors to run the
road over the hill when they
might as easily have avoided the
hill entirely.
The only person Inconvenience
by the change will be Mr.. Tiehen.
But be will no doubt be willing
to make a comparatively small
sacrifice in the interests of the
community at large.
