THE death of Harvey Winfield Scott, editor of the Oregonian,
removes from a life of newspaper activity one of the ablest
editorial writers in the United States. He was a self-made man,
of great brain power and compass. His editorial assaults were like
a sledge hammer in the hands of a
DEA TH OF physical giant. He never equivocated.'
HARVEY W. SCOTT He struck straight and his blows left
their mark on the object of his attack.
He used plain English and was the American Carlyle in his manner
of treating his subjects. He could be bitter and unrelenting in the
arraignment of his enemies.
Harvey Scott's ability as editor of the Oregonian made him
famous in the United States. Eastern critics placed him in the
front rank with editorial writers of the world. As editor of the
Oregonian he was a powerful factor in the development of the
northwest, and particularly of Oregon. All classes of citizens in
this state will regret the death of this noted editor and pioneer.
TTALE is the most talked about town in eastern Oregon in
the Willamette section," said a commercial man to an
Enterprise representative one day this week. "Why, in Portland,
when you hear people talking of Eastern Oregon, it's all about the
future prospects of Vale and the country
VALE UNDER surrounding it." Our resources are well
STAR OF DESTINY known all over the state, and the advice
given by old business men to young men
is, "why don't you go up into the Vale section and get a start?
That's the country for a young man with little means."
That Vale will justify the good opinion of its Willamette Valley
friends as a "comer" of the first magnitude, those who are best
posted as to its possibilities for future growth, are well satisfied.
Vale is a natural business center. Its various irrigation projects
are in a fair way to bear fruit; it is a great stock country; its fame
as a possible, and we may say probable, producer of petroleum, is
practically assured; all the indications point to the development' of
petroleum in the fields now being exploited; we have the finest
mineral springs in the northwest; the extension of two great rail
way lines westward is almost certain; as a great shipping point
from and to the vast inland empire to the south and west of us,
Vale has no equal in eastern Oregon.
Our lands under irrigation produce the finest of fruits and hay,
while lying at her very door are thousands of acres of unappropri
ated public lands to be taken up under the several land laws. The
public domain in many states in the west is becoming scarce, but
in Malheur county there are thousands of acres to be had.
Thousands of people in the next few years will avail themselves
of the opportunity to get free homes in this county, with the result
that our population will grow by leaps and bounds, and Vale'will
become a large city surrounded by a great agricultural section,
with fruit raising as one of the principal industries.
Surely, Vale has a most promising outlook as to future develop
ment. It is a city of beautiful homes and enterprising and pro
gressive people, who themselves have great faith in its future.
Over this favored section there shines, without doubt, the star of
destiny.
MANY things augur well for Oregon. Between the lines the
great financiers of the country see the inevitable law of chance
working overtime for the eventual triumph of the state over many
of her sisters. Force of circumstances within the past few months
has piled up the prospects for the state at a rate
THE LAND OF almost beyond the comprehension of the laymen
RESOURCES in matters of finance. Again the eyes of the
east are inclined with more than ordinary favor
toward the land of sunshine, possibilities and sure crops the west
with its magic of fruitful offerings; its plethora of opportunities and
its galaxy of climatic conditions and resources of untold wealth.
Eastern Oregon, an empire in itself, which has been bottled up by
lack of transportation facilities, is undergoing a development the
magnitude of which can as yet be scarcely appreciated. Thousands
of new homes will be made hero within the next few years, and
millions of dollars worth of products will be poured into the markets
of the world.
UNDER pretended loyalty to "the party" adherents of the old
system are making their last rally under the flag of Cannon
ism and the "allied intercuts." Opixwed to the army of the
interests" is the formidable array of the common ieoplc, who,
Bick and disgusted with the non-progressive
methods of the "old guard" are de
termined to usher in a new era of better
government under the banner of re.
form progression, and leading this great
battle for the people are such splendid fighters for principle as
LaFollette, Cummings, Dolliver and others, including our own able
senator, Jonathan liourne, whose speech delivered in the last con
press 1 the moot sought after public document published in recent
years,
THE" LAST STAND OF
THE ASSEMBLY"
JS THE MACHINE
Abused, lied about and ridiculedby his enemies, Senator Bourne
has proven himself not only an honest reformer, but ranks high
with the leaders of the greatest movement that has engaged public
attention since the days of '60 and '61, when human slavery was
the issue. The great fight today is whether the "allied interests,"
under Cannon and Aldrich, shall rule the Republican party, or
whether the Progressives under Cummings, LaFollette, Dolliver,
Bourne and others shall rehabilitate the party with the mantle of
Lincoln Republicanism.
How are you going to line up, brother? The assembly stands
for Cannonism. The direct primary stands for the, people's in
terests in the coming fight. Stand by the primary. Hold fast to
the advantages you now have under that law, if you are wise.
nriHE treacherous defeat of Dr. Andrew Smith, of Portland, be
fore the state assembly recently held at Portland, has caused
a sore spot in Multnomah county, among the doctor's friends, who
resent the double dealing methods which gave the nomination to
Bowerman. Long before the assembly
ASSEMBLY WAS met the "bosses" had decided in favor of
"CUT AND DRIED" Bowernan and in order to give the conven
tion an appearance of fairness, many of
the latter's friends urged Smith to become a candidate, pledging
him enough votes on paper to give, him the nomination on first ballot.
Smith was considering the matter of being a candidate without
assembly aid, but, flattered by the promises of the assembly crowd,
he allowed his name to go before the convention only to find that
the "slate" was Bowerman and that he figured lightly in the outcome.
Dr. Smith would have made a good governor and had he stuck
to his first intention'to be an anti-assembly candidate, would have
defeated Bowerman in the primaries.
The assembly clique in Portland is busy trying, to explain to
Smith how the thing happened. Even the Oregonian shows signs
of dissatisfaction over Bowerman's nomination, evidently having a
candidate of its own up its sleeve, other than Smith. Bowerman,
however, is a good man for the assembly as he can be counted on
to do the bidding of the "bosses" who breathed into his nostrils
the gubernatorial breath. ?
B'RER Rocking Horse Ellis will have a hard time trying to explain
even to his "assembly" friends who live in eastern Oregon,
why he, as a member of the Ways and Means committee of the
House, allowed the irrigation bill to be
CAN "ROCKING mutilated in his committee so as to practi
HORSE" EXPLAIN? cally "cut out" Oregon from the benefits
and provisions of the bill. Our Idaho and
Washington congressmen were not asleep and those states will get
the lion's share of the appropriations, while eastern Oregon will
continue to "go dry" so far as government aid of reclamation is
concerned.
MOVING the junction point of the O. R. & N. and Oregon Short
Line from Huntington to Ontario rectifies a mistake; made at the
time the separate roads were built. Huntington lies in Burnt River
Canyon, narrow and confined, while at Ontario there is room for
expansion to meet demands of traffic. From a humorous point of
view, the move places Malheur county on the map of Oregon, for
when the O. R & N. stopped at Huntington even the bishop and
clergymen seldom went beyond the fourth crossing of the Snake
and those of the adjoining state would not intrude, with the result
that the largest county of Oregon had to work out its own salvation.
With the extension of the road to Harney Valleyiow built to Vale,
the shifting means a great deal for Ontario commercially and other
wise. Oregonian. ;
A TOWN that never has anything to do in a public way, is on
the way to the cemetery. Any citizen who will do nothing for his
town is helping to dig the grave. A man that curses the town fur
nishes the coffin. The man who is so selfish as to have no time
from his business to give to city affairs is making the shroud. The
man who will not advertise is driving the hearse The man who is
always pulling back from any public enterprise,, throws boquets on
the grave. The man who is so stingy as to be howling hard times,
preaches the funeral, sings the doxology, and thus the town lies
buried from all sorrow and care.
CERTAIN exchanges in Oregon are trying to make capital out
of the fact that a number of "lawyers" attended the late Republi
can assembly. We fail to see the point, for if there ever was a
place that needed lawyers it is in the legislature. There are too
many weak laws passed by inexperienced men and the result is
often detrimental to the common citizen. A man can still be honest
and be a lawyer, in fact there are plenty of honorable lawyers and
strange to relate a man can be a Republican lawyer as well as a
Democratic lawyer and still be honest and capable. Exchange.
THE invasion of the southwest part of the "Inland Empire"
by the Harriman people last week evidently indicates something
in the matter of railway extension to the west of us soon. The
president of the Southern Pacific company would hardly spend a
portion of his summer vacation riding through the dust out here in
August if there were not a railroad hen on the nest Events can
not hatch too soon. In any event, Vale will be on the main line in
the very near future.
THE Republican who is in favor of "party" in preference to
"principles" lines up with the assembly. The Republican who is
a Republican because of "principles which he believes his party
should represent" will be found standing by the direct primary.
Party name is nothing but "tinkling cymbal and sounding brass."
It is the principles, or live progressive ideas for which a party
stands that count To which class do you belong?
DON'T tell everything you know, don't tell everything you
hear, don't blister your tongue with backbiting, don't be Satan's
bellows to blow up the fire of strife in the community. Either cut
off a bit of your tongue or season it with the salt of grace. Be
quick to work and slow to talk. Think of your own faults ere
other people's faults you tell.
HAVE you registered? It is time you were doing so if you
