Williamson for Congress.
At the present time this part of
Oregon is undergoing a transfor
mation that requires, or may re
quire, special legislation at the
hands oi our national government.
This being the case it becomes nec
essary that we have a representa
tive from this district who is per--feetly
familiar with the conditions
which confront us, a man who is
bouud to the people of this district
hy insuperable ties of business and
friendship. One whose ambition
would be to see his Btate take a
back seat for none. A man famil
iar with legislation and one whose
voice would be heard in defense of
the right and in opposition to that
which would be detrimental to the
best interests, not only of hia con
etituents, but of the general gov
eminent as well. A man who can
carry his point by weight of force
ful argument. A man whose rec
ord shows him to be competent and
willing to work for the interests of
those he represents. Such a man
we believe Hon. J. N. Williamson
to be, and so believing taku pleas
ure in announcing him as a can
didate for Congressman from the
Second Congressional District of
Oregon.
Sounds Good to Us.
The congressional committee
makers must imagine that Oregon
is deeply interested in irrigation,
as two Oregon men, and both from
Western Oregon, where no irriga
tion is ever needed, are cheirmen of
the senate and house committees.
While Oregon as a whole is inter
ested in irrigation, it would have
seeaied more appropriate to have
given these chairmanships to men
from Wyoming, Nevada or Utah.
Portland Telegram
The Telegram is right. Oregon
would have been much better served
liad the chairmanship gone to any
of the jother states mentioned.
WestcriBOregon is not interested
in anything but rivers and harbors
and our representatives would not
hesitate to table an irrigation bill
in order to get a large appropria
tion for their pet schemes west of
the mountain'. Its "hard lines"
when a state has to look to outsid
ers in congress to help her in pref
erence to her own delegation, but
Oregon is certainly in that condi
tion today ai.d will be until we can
get an Eastern Oregon man who is
big enough to represent Oregon in
stead of one particular locality.
Burns Times-Herald.
Rooccvclt and the Bad Men.
From late returns it would seem
that Theodore Roosevelt, once Co-1
lonel of Rough Riders, is now very
much president of tho United States.
When the country elected him to
the vice-presidency it had ft pretty
clear idea that it was choosing an
oilioial with a strong, straight back
bone, and a recent diagnosis of his
case fails to discover any symp
toms of curvature of the spine.
During the past thirty days the
Alkali Ikes, the Pcadwood Dicks
and the Bronco-busting Bills of
polities have descended on the ex
ecutive mansion prepared to make
a little "rough house," because the
President was not giving proper
attention to their requests for good
things for the sons of somebodies
and the fathers of nobodies. They
thought they would teach him a
lesson. .
But Mr. Roosevelt, in the happy
past, used to live out West, and
while there he had experience with
the fire-eating, ripsnorting, quick
shooting terrors of the bad lands
Without going into particulars, it
may be said that none of their
counterparts in politics has made
any "rough house" at the executive
mansion.'
The country, the decent end of
the country, the part of the coun
try that wints to see a clear, hon
est administration of its affairs by
able, honest men, is with Mr
Roosevelt. The business men who
promote their clerks on merit and
pay them their salaries because
they earn them are with Mr. Roose
velt. The heelers, the grafters, the
looters are against Mr. Roosevelt.
And they will be increasingly
against him as they get better ac
quainted with his quality.
It is a pleasure to know you bet
ter, Mr. President. Saturday Eve

AKE MONEY
A man told us the other day that
we did not publish all the things
that happen. We should say we
don't. In the first place we have
others who depend on us for a liv
ing. If we published all that hap
pened we should soon be with the
imgels. In order to please people
we must print only nice thinirs on
them and leave the rest to the gos-! nite anJ evidences of natural gas.
The county court has fixed the
tax le-y for the year 1902 at 21 j
mills, divided as follows: General
county 6f, roads 2, schools 5,state
7. There being no property road
tax under the new law there must
be an additional levy for road pur
poses which makes the levy at least
two mills higher than it otherwue
would be. The county levy this
year stands at 6 J o gainst 10 j last
year, which shows a decided gain.
If there is no heavy .criminal case-
to deal with during the present
year we may safely predict a re
duction of not less than 25 per cent
in the levy next year. Besides an
extra amount of bridges to build
last year and other heavy expenses
we have an extraordinary state tax
thrust on this year and in conse
quence the levy is high.
Another Boiing Hlg tor Malheur.
A press dispatch from Weiser
says: H. V. Gates, of Hillsboro,
Oregon, a member of the Malheur
Oil Company, was here yesterday.
He is looking after the machinery
of the company that is being hauled
to Dry gulch, some fifteen miles
from Weiser, on the Oregon sido.
It is claimed to be the largest drill
ing outfit north of California,
weighing sixty tons. A derrick
100 feet high will be erected. Th-s
power will be suppliel by steam, a
40-horsc power engine being on the
grounJ. Mr. Gates says the mill is
built to go down 5000 feet, and will
be sent to that depth if necessary.
Experts say the surface indications
are the best they ever noticed, con- J
