In May, 1908, James K. Gerfleld, then eecretary of the interior, granted a permit to the city of Ban Francisco authorizing the contingent nee of the Hetch Hetchy region in the Yoeemite National Park as a source of water supply. This matter has been discussed in all its phases, the sentimental side as well as the practical side being laid bare to the public. If the region embraced in the Hetch Hetchy valley was really neces sary to supply a great city like San P"ranci«co with plenty of water little pro test would be found against appropriat ing what belongs to the nation at large. It is clear to the disinterested observer that it is not necessary to despoil any part of the great Yosemite region to pander to the imaginary needs of the Bay City for water. A sentiment was worked up by the politicians of San Francisco, and a bond issue of $45, --000,000 was voted by the people to de velop a water supply concerning which no sufficient engineering information bad been obtained, and which bangs in the balance for further and better informa tion. That the handling of $45,000,000 was the incentive on the part of the poli ticians in working up a sentiment in favor of the proposition is apparent. It is pleasing to note that Secretary Ballinger, after a recent hearing, has de cided to hold up for one year the permit granted by the "tennis lawn" secretary of the Roosevelt cabinet, during which time another investigation will be held, this time by a board of urmy engineers, giving opportunity for a campaign of education in the matter. In the mean time it is hoped that congress will not confirm the Gnrfield agreement, but will wait for the report of the army engineers. Dr. George Otis Smith, director of the geological survey, and two engineers of the reclamation service, are authority for the statement that San Francisco has a water supply in Lake Eleanor and Cherry creek sites sufficient to furnish all that the city's prospective population would require up to VJiS. In view of this and the further fact that competent and disinterested engineers have not thoroughly examined the IJetch Hetchy proJHCt Secretary Ballinger is right in Reeking further information. It is clear that 500,000 square miles of the Yoaemite National Park, belong ing to every citizen of the realm, ought not to be given away unless there is a real necessity for it, which does not ap pear at this time. Special interests are always at work to get something to en rich theinNelves, this time it being the politicians of San Francisco using the people of that city as cat-paws to pull the chestnuts out of the fire. The niirger in the fence is the Spring Valley Water Co., which supplies San Frani'Hco with water nnd hopes to make millions by the transfer of its property, which it can do by the inauguration of the Hetch Hetchy system of water supply. A recent letter from Washington, I). C, says that "Poindexter's action in congresH has apparently been shaped with no other object in view than to strengthen his fences in the senatorial fight on the insurgent program. He is not only an insurgent, but he is in open rebellion against the republican party in practically everything it has done or is trying to do. So far as supporting the administration is concerned he has done nothing that, by the remotest conjecture, could be construed as an indorsement of President Taft or any of his policies, and is out about as bad with the 'ad ministration' force* as any member of congress. In fact, he is looked upon here as being extremely antagonistic to everything republican, especially the plans and policies of the regular party leaders. Poindex.ter's opposition to the railroad bill, which called for such a strong 'ripping up the back' from Con gressman Mann, is a fair sample of his attitude in general. lie voted against and opposed every feature of the bill save the long and short haul, which was the thing nearest and dearest to his home city, and apparently expected to save his face with his own people by pulliog the record to prove that be voted for the long and short haul. As a mat ter of fact, his action might have de feated the whole bill, including as it did the long and short haul provisions." If the Farmers' Educational A Co- Operative Union is "steeped with social ism," as is alleged in certain quarters, the sooner it is driven oat the better it will be for the organization. In fact, the life of the organisation depends on its steering clear of political beliefs of any kind. Politics is the rock on which all farmers' organizations have been wrecked in the paHt, and there is no way to judge the future but by the past. As well attempt to run the fraternal organ izations on a political basis as to ho run the Farmers' Union. It is a business proposition, pure and simple, and the Union ehould be controlled with that end in view. The progressives (so called) are busy circulating reports on the outside that Whitman county is the stronghold of the progressive movement, and that Poindexter will lead in the senatorial race. In this they are aided by the democrats, who see, as usual, big ma jorities for the democratic nominees in consequence. The Spokesman-Review, of course, does all it can to lend color to this statement. As a matter of fact there is nothing in the political atmos phere of this county to justify any statement but that the republicans will control at the primary election in Sep tember independent of make-believes or the machinations of democrats. We frequently hear complaint of the work of the muckraker, of which Collier's Weekly is the chief in this day and gen eration. This, from the Aurora Repub lican about General Washington on the eve of his retiring from the presidency, is proof positive that the muckraker has always been with us: "If ever a nation was debauched by a man the American nation has been debauched by Washing ton. If ever a nation has been deceived by a man, the American nation has been deceived by Washington." The Father of his Country and the immortal Lin coln could not escape the muckraker. Poindexter gives out the statement from Washington that he will not be "bossed." If appearances are not de ceiving the wily politician from this con gressional district is building up a ma chine whereby he will do the "bossing." "Boss" Poindexter is as objectionable as any other "boss." As the darkey would soy, they are all "mighty onsartin." Another Flour Mill in Sight. The Washtucna Enterprise of the 3d says that C. E. Woods of Colfax, who is the owner of several flour mills in East ern Washington, was in Washtucna to to look over the situation there with a view of building a mill in that town. Mr. Woods says he will build a mill if the town will donate a sitr for the build ing and if satisfactory arrangements can be made for electric power. The Enter prise thinks that Washtucna needs a mill and that it would be a boost for the town. Seven beautiful new sepia tone Colfax post cards are the latest arrivals.
