TEU1Y WHAT A MESS.
And the state of Oregon decreed
, that a book should be printed by the
state printer at enormous cost to the
taxpayers, with an additional cost of
postage, In order that every voter
would be provided with a copy con
talnlng a brief history of the man who
Is seeking office. After the decree
-came the usual satisfaction that publi
city would thereby end all Jobbery
and fraud.
But It was decided, sIbo, that each
uaildiuuie could livo c uiucli iu aj
at nominal cost, and those who op
posed any candidate or principle
might also have their little say. Here
in lies the friction.
geral have filed their objections,
among iliera WiUls D"iway, the
present state printer, who seeks re
tinmtnaHmv !Ta nlleires that the
statements made by some are mis
leading and therefore he wants a per
mnent Injunction to issue against
placing It In the little pet pamphlet.
But Dunlway Is not. alone, for there
are other candidates who view the
matter as he does.
As a result there Is a nice mors
shook-un. calllnK for the courts to
decide promrtly which la which, and
who is who, reminding one of a lot of
small boys fighting over an apple and
calling each other names.
There Is this happy satisfaction;
Oregon will go through this upheaval,
will get her stomach full of this
foolishness and will be well and rat-
lonal again while other states are har
boring the disease. This state caught
' it fli'Bt. she is going after It with a
vengeance and will play every part of
, the game until Mr. Taxpayer awakens
; and Bees what Buch twaddle and fool
ishness Is costing him. Then he will
back up and say, "let us have plain,
; common sense and down with the the
, orlsts whose only work results In
enormous expenditures of Rtate mnn-
And when that day comes the .st.i!:
of Oregon will advance as she has
never advanced before. Capital w'll
seek Investment here as never ef ;i c
and things will become normal. Tlie

compllshes reform, will be only lizard

Positively only one objection In 3
ever been recorded against Jay Low
erman he is an assembly candidate.
But what is an assembly candidate?
He is a man who has received the en
dorsement of several hundred republi
can who Journeyer all the way to Port
land to make a party platform and
form the party organization. No, It is
not a nomination, . although In this
case, It likely will be.
Remember this, before you condemn
an assembly nominee. Abraham Lin
coln was named by assembly, Jam js
A. Garfield was named by an assem
bly. James A. Garfield was named by
an assembly, General Grant was nam
ed by an assembly, Major McKlnley
was named by an assembly. Crover
Cleveland was named by an asse.nciy
and so on down the line, and even
Theodore Roosevelt was an assembly
candidate. Then don't throw a f;t be
cause some man in Oregon hai been
recommended to you as a gool nnn
for the office of governor. Be fair,
and if, after analyzing his career, you
think you cannot vote for him, just
vote for the other fellow, but don't
turn him down because he has been
recommended to you.
TWO VALLEYS THAT MUST COME
TO IT.
The "Willamette and Grande Ronde
valleys are similar In some respects.
This -is said with the full knowledge
that the Willamette is secondary in
production to the Grande Ronde, but
the important feature that makes
these valleys similar is the need of ir
rigation. Not long ago anyone would ,have
been Ptnussed to have heard irrigation
talk in the Willamette. The person
who indulged In such would have been
termed Insane, for the heavy rains In
that region give an abundance of
moisture. It is now conceded, how
ever, that the moisture does not ob
tain at the proper season of the yenr,
and Willamette valley folk are pre
paring plans for Irrigation. .
In the Grande Ronde we have no
such rainfall as occurs in the Willam
ette, and we find there Is a decided
need for Irrigation here. With it we
will positively have the grandest val
ley In the Northwest, and without we
still have a good valley, but there will
exist the uncertainty of large cropp
each year, which always keeps down
the prices of land.
The people here should never let
the slow-going settlers of the Willam
ette lead them in such an undertak
ing, and with the strong sentiment
favoring the district plan of Irrigation
we do not believe that another yenr
will go by without steps being taken
to conserve the spring waters for use
on the Gande Ronde valley lands in
the fall.
The other evening the editor of this
paper took a long automobile ride
with D. II. Steward of La Grande. We
entered a region Just visited by for
est fires and when it came time to
light the lanips on the car. Mr. Stew
ard lighted a match, Ignited the gas
and then extinguished the match, but
did not throw It on the ground, until
he had held it for some little time. If
such caution as this were practiced
by everyone in the timber belt, mil
lions of dollars would have been
saved this year and many lives would

not have been lost. All such things as
starting fires get back to the Individ

trophes prohibited, such as the one at
Wallace, we must as individuals first
learn to use care and caution in every
act. - J
It is said that Oswald West is the
strong man on the democratic ticket
for governor. Isn't that a joke? Vr.
West, as railroad commissioner, has
reached a point in experience when
he Is of Bome value; as a nice young
man he is all right, but surely no
one can honestly believe that he Is the
size timber necessary to make gov
ernors out of. While there is no pes
sibilitv of his election, if such a tlrnjc
could occur, it would really be laugh
able.
