The old-time ringleaders of the re
publican party in Malheur county again
ruled in the county assembly held in
this city last Saturday. They ruled, but
it was only a short reign for all the
business that was transacted was
practically the selecting of the sixteen
delegates to the state assembly. So
unpopular is the assembly plan that the
ringleaders thought it best not to at
tempt to push through for endorsement
a slate of county, district and state
officers.
Ringleaders Control
Although 40 delegates were present
from eight precincts out of a possible
103 delegates from 22 precincts, not
more than six persons made up the in
side ring, which rushed the well framed
plans of the convention. Everything
was hurried through without a hitch,
except in the case of instructions and
recommendations, and these had to be
amended as three-fourths of the assem
bly would not stand for the recommenda
tion of the reelection of Congressman
W. R. Ellis of thiB district.
J. W. McCollouAh, of Ontario, was
elected temporary chairman and Gus
Hurley secretary. After the committee
on credentials had rounded up all possi
ble delegates" the report showed that
only seven precincts were represented
out of 22 and those were Nyssa, Vale,
Bully Creek, Jordan Valley, Big Bend
and North and South Ontario. The Vale
and Ontario delegates made up two
thirds of the assembly. In order to
make a better showing Hoodoo precinct
was added to the list when it was found
out that Frank McKnight was present
Ht the convention as an onlooker. Be
sides the 40 delegates there were 16
proxies, making 66 votes out of a possi
ble 103. However, these were not
needed, aa the different steps had been
well placed and everything of importance
was voted upon before the questions
could arise.
Three Men Select Delegates
C. H. Brown, of Ontario, W. M. Jones,
of Westf all, and C. C. Wilson, of Nyssa,
were appointed to select the 16 delegates
to the state assembly.
The delegates from Malheur to the
state convention were: Ontario, G. L.
King, Jefferson Billingsly. R. M. Dun
can, W H. Brooks and Chester Martin;
Vale, I. W. Hope, J. A. Hurley, John
Edwards, Tom Halliday and Virgil
Staples; Nyssa, W. L. Blodgetfrand C.
C. Wilson; Westf all. David Eckerman;
Hoodoo, Frank McKnight; Jordan Val
ley, Fred Palmer; Malheur, James
. Morfitt.
The amusing side of the convention
came when Deputy District Attorney
Duncan asked what was to be done to
ward the recommendation and indorse
ment of a senator and representative in
congress. In the hope of ending the
matter Chairman McCollough jestingly
stated that the partv had no Benators
and had no need of making recommenda
tions. This started the fun.
Ellis Has One Friend
Congressman Ellis had at least one
friend in the convention and that was
W. L. Gibson, of Nyssa. He wanted
the delegates to the state assembly in
structed to recommend Ellis for reelec
tion. At once Colonel Wheeler jumped
up and opposed Ellis, saying that "the
convention had as well send an old
woman for he had lost all the irrigation
funds from this district. ' Gi bson and
Wheeler then went after each other.
The gavel came down lively until Repre
sentative W. H. Brooke moved that
Gibson's motion to instruct the dele
gates be laid on the table. It was plain
that the convention waa opposed to
Ellis, for the vote quitting the tight was
unanimous.
This killed any other recommendations
that might have been made, lornoming
was said toward the choosing or county
or state officers.
It is said that the committee had
placed the indorsement of Ellis in the
resolutions, which were adopted by the
assembly, but when the ringleaders
caught the resolution before it was pre
sented they induced the committee to
cross it out, hoping that the fight and
decision which finally came, might be
verted.
Representative Brooke saved the
situation by moving that the delegates
he sent to the stale assembly without
instructions.
Resolution were pasted opposing the
creation of Otis county from Malheur,
Harney and Grant counties.
The big ice house belonging to Tom
Selby was destroyed by fire last Satur
day afternoon. Spontaneous combus
tion is supposed to be the cause of the
conflagration. There was about ten
tons of ice in the building and little of
it was lost. The building was valued
at about $1,000.
The fire department was on the spot
within a few minutes after the alarm
was sounded," but the flames had gotten
such headway that it was impossible to
save the building and the attention of
the volunteer fire department was
turned toward the saving of the house
only a few feet away. The little
chemical engine is really what saved
the house from catching on fire, three
charges having been used in abating
the flames on the ice house and in keep
ing the fire from spreading. Chief
Nelsen and the fire beys are to be con
gratulated for their work. This was
the first call for the department since
its organization three years ago.

Gathering Data and Taking

According e Walter Martin, of San
Francisco, one of the chief owners of
the Dalles military road land grant,
who has been in Portland the past
week, the big tract of land from Vale
on west to The Dalles is to be thrown
open to settlers who are eager to take
possession. The plans made known in
clude extensions of the Boise-Idaho ir
rigation project into Malheur county,
reclaiming 150,000 acres with an ulti
mate cost of $8,000,000, says the Oregon
Journal. The Willow Creek irrigation
project will be similarly enlarged.
The Dalles military road grant extends
from The Dalles across Oregon through
Sherman, Grant, Wheeler and Malheur
counties to ale. Mr. Martin, accom
panied by his brother, expects to make
an automobile tour of his properties.
beginning August 1st.
R. R. Howard, editor of the Progress
department of the Pacific Monthly, was
in town yesterday for the purpose of
Catherine- information and data for a
series of articles on Malheur county
and Vale which are to appear shortly
in the Pacific Monthly. While in the
city he called upon Assistant Secretary
Meresse of the Chamber of Commerce,
who aided in the securing of data. Mr.
Howard also took a number of views to
illustrate the articles. Mr. Howard
had heard of Vale, but was greatly
surprised upon the great activity and
business of the city.
BROGAN HAS RAIL-
ROAD CONNECTIONS
The tracklayer and construction train
of the Malheur Valley railroad pulled
into the new town of Brogan Tuesday
evening when the last rail was put
down into the Brogan yards, thus com
pleting the 25 mile rail connections from
Vale. Since that time the construction
train has been making daily trips to
Brogan, leaving Vale at 7 o'clock a. m.
and returning at 6 p. m. A large num
ber of people are taking advantuge of
the temporary schedule to visit the new
town of the Willow River irrigation
project. According to the construction
engineers the big railroad gang will be
busv several months in ballasting the
track and otherwise putting the road
bed into shape for the regular train
service.
WILL OPEN DRUG
STORE AT BROGAN
The Brocran drusr store is the latest
business venture in the new town of
Brogan. The proprietors are C. D.
Scott, recently of Alaska, and W. M.
Goodrich, of Chicago. The eentlemen
have secured one of the fine store rooms
on the ground floor of the Willow Inn
two story brick building. A complete
stock of drugs. sundneB, etc.. as well
as a fancy drink fountain, is expected
to arrive in town today. The store
will bo open for business early next
week.

At the special school election
held in this city on Friday of last

clerk of the school board. The
special election was necessary
since Mrs. Tom Barton had not
qualified for the position.
The school board is now work

HOLLAND WILL LET TEAMSTERS
KNOW HIS AUTO IS CODING
I. H. Holland, of the Pacific Live
Stock & Land company, with head
quarters in Burns, arrived in town
Wednesday afternoon in his big Cadillac.
W. E. Anderson is driving the car for
him. Ike says that it is the only way
to travel over the interior country and
that since he bought his machine some
weeks ago he has already traveled over
2000 miles. He left Thursday for
Ontario and Nyssa where he will look
after his company's interests. He will
also go on to Boise to get a siren whistle
put on his machine as a common horn
cannot be heard to advantage along the
narrow roads in this section. Mr
Holland has narrowly averted several
collisions with teams when rounding
curves and he believes that a siren
which can be heard about a mile will
answer the purpose.
ASSEMBLY PLAN IS UN
POPULAR IN HARNEY
Eastern Oregon is surely not in favor
of the assembly plan. This was seen
by the local county assembly which
only appointed the required num
ber of delegates. A despatch from
Burns also states that a very small
gathering of Republican politicals met
there last Saturday and that only one
man outside of Burns was present and
he happened to be in town on other
business. The people of Harney county
do not like the idea of naming candi
dates and so the county assembly only
elected delegates, leaving the choosing
of candidates to the open primary.
MULKEY ADMITTED TO PRACTICE

B. W. Mulkey has been admitted to

That the "foul brood," adisease'
among the bees of this vicinity,
is raising havoc with the bee in
dustry and practically means its
extermination unless instructions
are followed, is the report of
of Prof. E.B. Conklin of Ontario,
bee inspector for Malheur county,
who was in Vale Thnrsday. With
Prof. Conklin on this visit to the
bee ranches of this section was
M. Townsend,, a practical bee
grower of near Ontario who has
over 400 hives. " " 1
During their visit of. two days
in this vicinity they found a large
part of the bees badly infested
with this dreaded disease.' Be
tween 40 and 60 hives, containing
Jteee and honey, all belonging to
small growers had to be burned
and burled. The large bee-giw-ers,
some 6f whom have colonies
numbering between 200 and 500
hives in their apiaries, are tak
ing great care of their bees and
have been very successful in pre
venting the spreading of this di
sease. Many old swarms were
found to be infested. This foul
brood spreads quickly and kills the
young beas in a few weeks.
The work of the inspectors was
thorough and if instuctions are
followed, the apiculturtsts will in
another year have control of this .

Says Vale Will Then
Bloom As a Rose
"The oil wells are all busy and except
in the case of the Eastern Oregon, are
drilling away like clock work," said I.
P. Carr, of Portland, a few days ago,
who was here looking over the Vale
oil field. The Mammoth well is taking
out the casing in order to get the tools
out and will again be running within a
few days. The Malheur is drilling hard
and over at the Columbia prospects, as
far as I can tell, are better than ever,
The Eastern Oregon will resume work
in a few days."
Mr. Carr stated that he was here for
the purpose of getting things into
shape for the annual assessment work
on his own claim as well as for others
connected with him. "The condition
of the field is such" said he. "that
within the next sixty days one well or
the other will be successful in bringing
enough oil to show that the field will
be a productive one beyond all doubt
Since looking over the field I find that
all the big companies that have put in
wells are doing all within their power to
eet down as fast as possible. Of
course they are having the same draw
backs that the California companies
have experienced and will continue to
have them until we can bring in one
commercial well. And immediately
thereafter there will be established in
this section of the country a large oil
well supply house where the companies
can go inside 6f three hours and get
supplies in case of breakdowns where
now it takes them from 30 to 60 days.
"This has been the great drawback
to the Vale companies during the past
year, otherwise there's no question of
having found a commercial well long
before this.
Sees Many Improvements
"I am informed upon good authority
that a big California company will
probably atari a plant thia coming
month. Taking everything into con
sideration I think the companies have
done very well and deserve all the
praise that can be given them. I am
very much surprised at the great num
ber of new buildings in Vale. The
Nelsen building, when finished, will be
a credit to any city. I find the business
people terribly busy. I also am sur
prised at the number of fine houses
that have been erected In the past year
Once the first commercial well
brought in Vale will then 'bloom as
rose.
"Whil- in town I had the pleasure of
meeting two prominent California oil
men. who are visiting this field. Big
oil men from oil countries come here
and go away and come again and most
of them are becoming interested in the
Vale oil field."

Henry Tobeck and E. Benzli, of near
Spokane, who represent a colony of
Swiss of the above section, have decided
to locate the colony on a tract of un-
surveyed land about 60 miles south of
Vale and 10 miles south of the Red
Butte postofTice. Henry Tobeck re
turned to Spokane Wednesday to re
port his find to tho people who will com
pose the colony, and if the location is
satisfactory about thirteen families
will move from Spokane to this county.
In speaking of the matter, E. Benzli,
one of the men sent to spy out the land,
said that it was the purpose of the
colony to apply for school privileges
and to erect a Lutheran church. Once
the colony is located, application will
be made to the government lo have the
tract of land squatted upon, surveyed,
and that done the squatters will of
coarse have a prior right to apply for
the land. Henry Tobeck was, more
than pleased with what he had seen in
Malheur county and he took back with
him samples of the fine sou or. the sec
tion he picked out for the colony. His
report will also appear in the papers
published by that , large organization
which Ib scattered in different sections
of the United States, and as Mr. Tobeck
stated, his reports will be most favor
able and will undoubtedly result in
bringing, sooner or later, hundreds of
Swiss families to this county.
Malheur county - will welcome this
thrifty class of Swiss settlers within
its borders and it is hoped that this
colony will encourage others to come
and settle on its broad prairies.
The Chamber of Commerce is direct
ly responsible for the visit of Henry
Tobeck and E. Benzli, as. much corres
pondence was carried on for a number
of weeks between Mr. Tobeck and A.
Meresse, the assistant secretary of the
Chamber. Mr. Tobeck was well pleased
with all the information secured through
the correspondence and after his visit
over the territory stated that he found
all reports to be true and that of all
the places he had visited he had found
nothing to equal Malheur county.
J. H. Leonard, official photographer
for the Oregon Short Line, is spending
the week in Vale and surrounding coun
try for the purpose of taking views of
the industries, ranches and improve
ments that are now going on in Mal
heur county. These are to be used in
advertising matter and booklets which
are to be distributed by the railroad
company in seeking to bring colonists
to this county and eastern Oregon.
Mr. Leonard states that all his views
are 11x14 inches, and that he will
expose between 25 ' and 30 negatives
while here. He took some nice views
of Vale's busy thoroughfares, the big
new buildings, the Hot Springs, some
alfalfa ranches, etc.
He came here from Harney county
where he spent a week, and from this
place will go on to Ontario. Mrs.
