The editor ot the Dufur"l)oo(Uu"
takes us to tak for upholding Wil
liamson for heing a practical man
and says that perhaps we have
herded cheep to fit us for the posi
tion of editor of this paper; that if
ho we must have put in a year or
two too long. We are sorry to say
t hat our sheep herding experience
lias been very limited, so much so
that we are not as well learned in
tdieep lore as we should be, but we
will wager a new hat that the ed
itor of the Dufur sheet has not even
the qualifications necessary to
herding sheep. Had he the neces
sary physical appurtenance he
might he turned loose to pick with
the chickens.
A great deal of stress is laid on
the fact that Moody loaned money
to the farmers during the hard
times and so tided them over. We
would like to ask if this was his
personal funds, or was he loaning
it out of the bank funds? Did he
expect to receive this money back?
AVas there any great danger ot this
money being lost forever? AVas it
not a shrewd political move on the
part of Mr. Moody at the expense
of some one else? What became
of the bank in which he was cash
ier at the time this money was
loaned? Was this money loaned
without ample security?
The Heppner Times in substance
aks why the democratic press of
Eastern Oregon tupports Moody.
The answer seems plain enough
that "he who runs may read." The
democrats of this district want to
elect the next congressman from
this district and they see in the
nomination of Moody the success
of their candidate. Why? Because
Williamson is certain of a large
democratic vote if nominated, while
Moody will not carry his party vote
by a large percentage. This is the
pertinent reason.
Moody's Arid Land Bill.
Representative Moody, has intro
duced a hill in congress, calling for
an appropriation of the modest
sum of 1100,000 to reclaim arid
lands. That amount would con
struct irrigation works on about the
scale of the Sumpter water works
system, and whold reclaim only a
few tiiousand acres. There is. a lit
tle scheme connected with Mr.
Moody's bill, and like the "Credit
Mobilier" of Union Pacific railroad
times, it has leaked out. The prop
osition is, to build a storage reser
voir on Rook creek where the
stream enters Powder River valley,
for the ostensible purpose of im
pounding only the surplus water of
the stream. Meanwhile, the title
to several thousand acres of fertile
but arid vacant government land
near Haines, and tributary to Rock
creek, is to be secured by the "Cred
it Mobilier No. 2" at tho nominal
government price. It is to be pi,t
under the proved government ir
gation system, and the land will
then be "sold at from $50 to $100
per acre, or as much more as they
can get for it. But the chief iniq
uity of the hill lit s in the results to
the riparian owners- of lahd on
Rock creek, below the proposed
mountain reservoir. As the irriga
tion season advances and Rock
creek fails, the inevitable conflict
between the riparian owners on one
hand, and the "Credit Mobilier No.
2" dry sage brush land owners on
the other, will begin in the courts,
and the conspirators will claim
that the Rock creek water belongs
to them, by virtue of the Moody
arid land hill, authorizing the
building of the Rock creek reser
voir and irrigation works. There
will be injunctions in the state
courts and injunctions in tho fed
eral courts and trials rn Portland
in the U. S. courts, with the at
tendant heavy expenses of witness
es and testimony by depositions
and attorneys' fees galore. Thin
statement is no "pipe dream," but
ib in substantial accordance with
information which iit known t be
trustworthy. Sumpter Reporter,

a surer, sufer way, if not so rapid.

It is reported that the democrats
are grooming brother Liggett for
county judge. Brother Liggett has
filled the mayor's office very well
and would no cjoubt do his best to
611 the office of judge. We fear,
however, that he wiil fail of elec
tion as tho republicans expect to
elect a full board of countv officials.
At this time we would like to ask
the state land board what the state
receives for its lieu lands? Also
what was the reason for their con
signment to a private individual or
individuals? Could not the state
have handled these lands and sold
them for the same as this private ,
source and have made the profit
that accrues to this individual or
individuals? What salary doe? a
member of this land board receive?
It must be out of Geer. It certain
ly has jumped a cog and the people
are paying for lost motion. .
In another place we publish an
extract from the Sumpter Reporter
that should be carefully considered
by every voter in this district.
Personal aggrandizement seems to
be Moodv's watchword.
J. R. Whitney, of Albany, is a
prominent candidate for state prin
ter. W, 8. Duniway, of Portland,
will also be in the field. W. J.
Clarke, of Gcrvais, is in the fight,
as is also L. L. Porter, of Oregon
City. Salem Sentinel.
And don't forget that Eastern
Oregon has a candidate in the per- j
ton of Edward Everett Young, of
Baker City. Mr. Young is an act
ive force in the upbuilding of this
great inland nation and should re
ceive recognition for hi services.
