Stanton. 4 WHAT IT MEAN'S TO VS. Many people do not yet fully realize the importance to this city of having the reservation water rights estab lished and the Indian lands brought under irrigation. So they may won der why there is so much controversy and why the East Oregonian is so rcalous in urging that the rights of the redmen should be established. If it proves true that the ruling of the supreme court in the Montana case does apply to the Umatilla res ervation and if the' government offi cials perform what is their plain duty to the Indians it will mean the sal vation of Pendleton as well as of the Indians. Pendleton's greatest misfortune at this time arises from the fact its im mediate territory is sparsely settled. The big farms have dwarfed the growth of Pendleton as though the city had been locked In a vise. The creation of a large Irrigation district adjoining the city would end this dif ficulty and place the city once more upon the road to growth and 'ad vancement. This is universally ad mitted. The need of such an Irriga tion district has been keenly felt for years and local workers for the city's good have long schemed and strug gled in hopes of accomplishing such an end. If the reservation rights are estab lished as now seems almost certain they can be established there will be an irrigated district right at the door c.f the city. If the Montana decis ion applies here it will mean that the water of the Umatilla river may be used for irrigating the thirsty acres of the reservation. It is estimated that 5300 acres Immediately adjoin ing the river may be watered. That amount of land would help greatly. But more land could be watered. By storing the water of the river it thould be possible to irrigate 20,000 acres or more. What would that mean to Pendleton? It would mean the doubling or trebling of our business and population. It would mean that Pendleton would become a city in fact as well as in name. ' Nor would the irrigation of the reservation bring the bad effects pome people neck to show. They claim it would preclude a mountain water kj Klein. But the people who make that claim have never been zealous for a gravity water system. They have been fighting it and arguing for j 0 miration plant. But it is not true the Irrigation of the reservation would rum ur chances for mountain water. It would probably be easier to get water from the Indians than from the Pers mill. It is not true the watering of the reservation would hurt the country west of here. Hermlston people say It wont hurt them. Stanfleld people fay the sifme and o do the owners r the Western Land & Irrigation com pany. These people have spoken ulready upon the subject and with out solicitation. They say there Is plenty of water for all and everybody knows it la true. If there is not plen ty of water why haa the government figured on watering 70,000 more acres of desert land in the west end? The irrigation of the reservation country will help the west end projorts and the more land Irrigated near here the bettor it will bo for the project John McCourt, United States attor ney, says that under a ruling of tht Unite! States supreme court any In dian of the Umatilla reservation has a right to such water rrom the Uma tilla river as he can put to a bene ficial use on 'land allotted to him. He declares he will protect the In dians in the exercise of such rights. Then let us see him do It. Some of the local Indians are trying to ir rigate their allotments through Wil liam Caldwell, their tenant Surely they have a right to do that. It is not necessary for them to work the land themselves. Some of them are old men, some squaws' and some chil dren. The law does not require that they should do the work themselves. If Mr. McConrt thinks It does their he applies the laws of property to the Indians differently from what such laws are applied to white men. A white man owning land and having water rights does not have to do the work in person. - He may rent hU land to another or hire the work don by an employe. A white man owning a business block is not required, to l.ve in it. He may rent his building to others and usually does so. Legal rights exercised by white men are also applicable to the Indians. All citizens stand alike under the laws of the United States, regardless of their race or color, and the Indians are citizens. The fact that our local redmen are helpless and unable in themselves to assert their rights doo not lessen the Justice of their cause. Their helplessness should itself be a spur to urge on the government's le t,al officers to do their duty. Is Mr. McCourt really going to de fend the Indians in the exercise of their rights? Then he will have to defend those who rent their lands as well as those who do farming work themselves. How can he escape from such a course? NOVEMBER 11 IX HISTORY.

Mayorality candidates should be willing to discuss freely and franklv the various local issues of importance and should be ready to tell the people vhat may be expected of them In the event of their election. The people are entitled to know what the candi dates are liable to do if chosen to of fice and discriminating voters will be guided as much by the position a can didate takes as by the personal fea tures Involved. So the announcement of the plat forms by the various candidates will be awaited with interest. So the commerce court holds up the decision of the Interstate com merce commission. Then when the commerce court has passed upon the matter the case will go to the su pieme court which will probably say It Is alright for the railroads to give discriminative rates if the railroad' are "reasonable" about it. The coal man and the plumber are busy men. A man who changes names and wives surreptitiously Is not likely to be a safe banker. LIVED ON RAW EGGS Mr. Richard's Experience With Dif ferent Diets. Peaches and Buttermilk for Three Years. Cecilton, Md. Mr. George Richards, of this place, during the past 12 years, has probably tried more different diets than the average person would ever use In a lifetime. What he has to say about his experi ments, must therefore be highly interest ing to anyone suffering from indigestion or stomach troubles of any kind. He says: "For more than 12 years. I suffered with stomach troubles, and paid hundreds of dollars for doctor bills and medicines. 1 was also operated on lor piles. I lived on dried peaches and buttermilk for nearly three years. The only thing that would not give me pain was raw eggs. I was a physical wreck. I could not sleep, and was as near crazy as a man could well be. I must say that after taking two 25-cenl packages of Thedford's Black-Draught, tt did me more good than all 1 ever spent lor other medicines. I have been working daily on the farm ever since, and I am as hard as iron." This purely vegetable remedy has been In successful use for more than 70 years. Try it.

Her parents were of the profession and she herself made her debut on the stage when yet a child. When she was appearing in Hoyt's "A Midn'ght Hell " her first real success on the stage, the attention of Charles Froh man was attracted to her and she has ever since appeared under his management. She has appeared In many dramatic successes including "The Little Minister," "What Every Wonvm Knows" and Peter Pan," which perhaps form the most con-p:c-uous trio of her triumphs. I "Oh, thank you very much," . she replied and turned toward the seat. Then, smiling genially again, she asked: "where did you get from '!" up Echoes of the Tast.
