UNCLE SANS DOMAIN

Secretary Lane, in his annual re-
port. directs attention to the fact that
the pioneer spirit has mot died out
In the people Of his country. While
the volume OF public land is decreas-
Ing until now it is almost down to
two hundred fifty million acres in the
United States. much of which Is in
the arid region, the entries OF public
lands are Increasing. This year nearly
twenty million acres Of Uncle Sans
domain were taken up as against
seventeen million each for the pre-
ceeding two years, sixteen million
for 1918 and fifteen million for 1919.
At this rate 1t win - but . vsEy
few years before all OF the public
land Of consequence will have gone
Into private hands. Probably in less
than ten years there will be no public
land Of consequence that will be
available for the homesteader. There
win still remain. however. many mill
Hon acres Of lands which can be
brought into rich production by the
application Of water. and no incon-
siderable volume that can be put to
the public service by being drained.
The problem is no longer one Of get
ting the people onto the land but of
getting land for the people who wish
It. and ways must be found by which
land can be irrigated either from the
waters that flow underneath n or
from the waters that now go to waste
7 flowing to the sea. II is Secretary
Lanes belief that no suficient effort
has been made to discover under
ground supplies of water which can
be used upon the deserts Of the West,
and that congress might well either
appropriate directly for improving
these lands by system Of drilling OF
pass a law by which private parties
could be induced to make this effort

WEB" WANTS THAT BRIDGE

Eddyville, Or.
Editor Leader:-In the issue
of April goth, of the Taquina Bay
News, the editor obligingly in
forms us that the building of a
bridge across the Yaquina river
at Toledo would be premature
as the present stage of develop
ment of the county does not JUS
tify the large expenditure of
public money that would be en-
tailed" From this | infer that
the settlers and ranchers who
would be helped very much by
such a bridge shall contentedly
struggle along for a few more
decades until they have suffici-
emily developed the county,
before they get their bridge.
/ think on close inspection 1t
will be found that our friend Is
talking through a hole in his
cap and also that he has the
horse behind the cart. The
said bridge would be of first
class aid in developing the large
area benefited, as anyone with
even ordinary intelligence will
see. He says there are other
sections of the county that need
roads far worse than Toledo
needs that bridge" and that the
motive of his whole article is
selfishness.
/ would say that the whole
county needed that bridge more
than Toledo does, but 1t gives me
great pleasure to note that there
are big, broad-minded men in
the Court who see the need and
are starting to fill 1t.
The admonition Of slow pro-
cedure on account of the very
energetic kicking from the tax
payers Is rather far-fetched. All
the clear thinking right-minded
rcorie os Newport would not
"kiet" q hit. but tsHt the poor
mess hacks and the News
..c ~ chorus "exrans've lux.
ury" there is not the slightest
doubt.
