When the McXamaras made their ; confessions last Friday they shook the country as it had not been shaken i In many months. The confession clears away all doubt as to their guilt I and is a splendid thing from a public! standpoint. The world now knows the ' truth and had the case been tried out j the result might have been different. ! There was so much prejudice on Nith tides of the controversy that many would have proclaimed the McXam aras innocent no matter what sort of a ca.se the state might have had against them. Organized labor will suffer by the confessions but the chief blame may be attached to labor leaders who urged their followers to flock to the A Full Range of Sizes and Prices, Rang'ng from $20.00 to $30.00 Uednssday Sale PvfiW I orlwr QVirMil4 T'-i Irck Arl vantage of This Great Offer U vU Wed.

They were told that their rights were of great value and that they should be stir themselves and find out what was going on, or words to that effect. Very likely Mr. Fiedler was blissfully sleeping Just then, as were others, and did not hear the call. In the view of this paper settlers along the Umatilla and tributary streams are entitled to all the water tl;ey need. This paper has criticised the government's attorneys for striv ing to limit them to two and a half acre feet per year. This paper has also urged that the. government should establish the reservation water rights so as to permit of the irrigation of the splendid valley Just east of Pendleton. The great difficulty to accomplish ing anything has been the Indifference o those who should have been most concerned. In the case of the reser vation some government officials, who are in the role of guardians of the Indians, have not be-n eager to pro tect their wards In the case of set tlers such as Mr. Fiedler their chief fault has been in not making use of more water in the past. The Pilot l'.o"k man says he Irrigates eight ncreg at this time. He should have Ir-riiraw-1 more and so should his neigh bors. I!y projif-r utilizing the flood waters i,t IJirrh creek many thousands i f acre eould have been made highly j ro.iu tive. P.ut the land barons In that rountry have been content with tl.tir lot and soffed when advised to ro-'ort to irrigation. Had they made port of whoever is arrested. They fchould nut do so because men rwho re sort to such violence are not good friends of the cause of labor. How do the knockers like the Idea of a new high school for Pendleton. Isn't it terrible hat good .money should be expended for such a cause as education? The McXamaras would be more en titled to respect brrd they continued their "martyrdom."

Editor East Oregonian: I notice you are taking a great in terett in securing water to irrigate the lands on the Indian reservation for tae poor Indians, who do not seem to want It, as It seems they have made little or no use of same up to this time, and then only when some white renter does the work for them. But you have little or nothing to say In regard to the government's action In haling all water users up in court, as criminals, for using more than two and one-half acre-feet of water which the government f xes as the maximum amount on land that is, and has been, under ditch for years, and on which people built homes and spent money on to develop. I have but eight acres of land under culti vation at the present time, and am trying to make an honest living for myse'f and famliy on same. Do you not think I should have all the water I need for this land? I am Irrigating through a ditch taken out 16 years ago, but it seems the government has bought out some old waterright or other In some ditch started In 1894 or thereabouts, and although they There's a country fair and free.

Cable, the author of so many delightful stories of the South, recalls an amusing Incident of his boyhood days, which were spent In New Orleans. A fierce old colonel one day called his negro coachman to him. "You were drunk yeterd-ty!" he roared. "What do you mean by such a per formance?" " 'Twas a accident, sah, 'pon mah word." "An accident?" "Yes. sah. In de mornin' I gets a JimmyJohn oh rum for t' keep de rheumatiz from mah ole woman, an, Marse John, I slips on de Ice an' busts de jlmmyjohn, an' de rum make little puddles In de road. Den, sah, I Jes' gets down an' laps some up. Dat's horn It cum, Marse John." "You black rascal! How much did you drink?"
