ilve I The Senator.
Apparently Western Oregon con
siders that it has a monoply in the
matter of selecting the stale's rep
resentatives in the upper house of
congress, since among the aspirants
to fill the vacancy that will be
caused by the expiration of Senator
Simon's term, every one so far
mentioned resides west of the Cas
cade mountains. Western Oregon
seems to take it as a matter of
course that it should furnish the
senators, since, with one exception
that of Senator Slater, it has h;jd
every one of the Senators who has
represented Oregon since it was
admitted to statehood 43 years ago.
But the time has come when this
dream should be dispelled.
Eastern Oregon has discarded its
swaddling clothes; it is no longer
an infant; it is now a full grown
man, and has a right to demand
that the next United States senator
be selected from among its inhabi
tants.
There are at present but three
matters of great importance which
the state of Oregon has to ask con
sideration of at the hands of con
gress. They are the deepening of
the channel at the mouth of the
Columbia, so that Oregon may
have a harbor worthy of its com
merce; the removal of obstructions
to navigation of the river between
The Dalles and Calilo, and the
putting into operation of the
national irrigation law passed by
the last congress. In all three
of these projects eastern Oregon is
vitally interested. Since during
the past year it produced about
two-thirds of the products shipped
abroad from the state, that is in
round numbers l"27,OOO,O0O worth
of grain, live stock, wool and fruit,
as against $14,000,000 worth pro
duced west of the mountains, ex
clusive of lumber) it is vitally in
terested in improving the facilities
for foreign shipment by the deep
ening of the channel from the
mouth of the river to Portland. In
the matter of removing obstacles
to navigation of the upper Colum
bia it has the greater interest; and
as to reclamation of the arid lauds,
it will be the sole beneficiary in
the state. Thus being directly and
vitally interested in the three most
important matters to come before
Congress, eastern Oregon is entitled
to and in all justice should have
a representative in both houses of
congress to represent and advocate
the measures that are of vital im
portance to the development of this
part of the state.
As to western Oregon, it has a
representative in each branch of
congress in the persons of Senator
Mitchell and Congressman Ton
gue, to look after and care for its
interests. It can therefore advance
no reasonable objection to eastern
Oregon naming the senator at the
next session of the legislature.
Since the senator to be chosen at
the next session of the legislature
must be a republican, the Times
Mountaineer can have no choice
or voice in the personnel, but it
can and will demand Unit geogra
phy should be taken into consider
ation, and it urges upon every
paper in the great Inland Empire
of the state aiid upon every state
senator and representative from
this section 'vi Oregon to not only
ask for but demand that the sen
ator be selected from among the
many able and brainy men in the
republican party who reside on
,'jthis side of the mountain. Ltt the
newspapers unite on this propo
sitibn, regardless of personalties,
and victory will be ours. Eastern
Oregon can and will get the United
States senator if it goes to Salem
next January unitedly demanding
recognition. Times Mountaineer.
In another column will be found
an article from the Times Moun
tasneer of The Dalles on the sub
jeet of tho next U. S. Senator.
While Mr. Douthit is not a repub
lican and can have no personal
feelings in the matter he has
bravely taken up the cudgel
for eastern Oregon and for such
action deserves the good will of all
the citizens of this part of the state
as he is loyal to his country before
all else. We believe that he is
right in the premises and that this
part of the state has gone far
enough to demand recognition at
the bands of the legislature in the
matter of the selection of a Sen
ator. So far as a personal choice
of the editor of this paper is con
cerned he is in favor of Binger
Herman, but we are alwavs ready
and willing to submit to the ruL
of the majority in such cases. If
the delegation of eastern Oregon
representatives in the legislature
would make a stand for an eastern
Oregon man they could make their
influence felt to such an extent
that we would stand a fair show of
getting our man whoever he might
be. There is, no doubt, as good
material to draw from in this part
of the state as there is west of the
mountains and for that reason we
can hold up our heads with the
best of them. Eastern Oregon is
certainly as large as western Ore
gon in the matter of area and it is
only a question of time when she
will be. greater in the matter of
population, for with the opening
up of our arid lands will come a
large influx of settlers and then
this part of the state will be the
balance of power in the matter of
state politics. Then let those who
would hereafter be the men on
whom this country shall shower
favor, be the ones to stand bv us
in our hour of need and then they
may claim their reward at the
hands of an appreciative people.
Doei Priuevtlle'i Permanency and
Prosperity Depend on a
Kail road?
)W Editor:
. Certain worthy citizens of this
town have asked me this question
in various forms since I landed
here and I will take some of the
valuable space in your Journal to
answer them to the best of my
opinion.
As the Columbia Southern has
located its final survey some 14
miles west of our city the question
is pertinent and will affect business
activity along certain lines for a
time no doubt; but I have no rea
son for thinking that it will do
any permanent harm but on the
contrary will be a benefit to us.
If the energetic business men
will take advantage of their oppor
tunities and make provisions for
the necessary readjustment that
must come in such an event, there
can but good come to us with a
railroad so near and yet so far.
Cities and communities have de
pended to considerable extent up
on railroads that have been built
near or through them, but in these
days of the automobile and the
electric motor, we can be in touch
with the world for all that is d
sirable. although several miles off
from regular lines of railroads and
yet not have their disadvantages.
In .the first place Prineville is
situated in a good location and
having the county seat will always
have a community that will be
abreast of the times and as a resi
dence location it will be sought by
the best class coming to tnis region
providing such advantages can be
found here that will be adequate
to the demand of that grade of
society. Such advantages will
consist of course in schools,
churches, and . business house?,
equal to. or ahead of o.her loca
tions where these people shall come
from. With its location, climate
and a liberal provision of the above
perquisites, Prineville will stand a
peer to any railroad town that can
be built in this county within the
next generation. '
Now a word to the wise is sufi;
cient , the business houses of this
city are well managed and well
patronized, hence their future is
secure and Prineville need have
but small fears of being rivaled in
this lino; but the matter of relig
ious and educational progress is
not so well defined and these are
the factors that draw and hold
communities in permanent condi
tions. A godd High School is one thing
to bo kept constantly before our
minds in this question.. Without
that wo cannot hope to compete
with the coming readjustment that
is bound to come with a railroad
so near. A first class Normal Col
lege would be a winning card that
could not be beaten for a long time
to come. It would secure for
Prineville what no other institu
tion could. Such a school is mucl
needed for eastern and central
uregon. vt nat miuicrs a move
along this line at once? Delay will
mean that some other town will
secure it, for such a school is due
this part of the state as much as
the numerous Normal school

HiiHlnn Bnrlua Cannot survive,
St. Petersburg, Nov. 22. There
is great sorrow throughout Russia
today over the anouncenient that
the czarina cannot survive her
present physical infirmities. She
has been dangerously ill for several
cattcreel along the valley of the' weeks ,,nd a special physician
brought her from New York has
Willamette. Why not storm tho
legislature with a proper bonus
and. strong representations along
this line in the near future? With
our fast increasing population and
developing resources it would seem
an easy plum to secure for" Prine
ville and Crook county. And
there is nothing that would give
us more prestige and permanence
as a city than a first class edu
cation institution. More
