VALEDICTORY.
With la-rt i s.'.e I seveielmy con
nection with the Journal, it hav
ing been purchased by Black and
Bailey. I ask that the same con
sideration be given them that has
been accorded me during the time
I have been the owner and editor
of the paper. During the time I
have had control of the paper it
has steadily grown from one of the
poorest specimens of the news
paper tribe to that of as good as
any country weekly published in a
town of the size of Prineville, this
I attribute more to the hearty sup
port of my friends throughout the
county than to,' my ability as a
newspaper man. It is not on ac
count of lack of support that I am
quitting the paper, but from the
fact that I have overtaxed my
energies to the extent that I re
quire a rest and I also wish to
take a short course at some busi
ness college in the near future. I
shall not sever my connections
with this county permanently and
will always be glad to know of the
upbuilding of it or its citizens in
any way. Further than this I
shall always endeavor to do all in
my power for the betterment of the
county in every way that I can
and will always retain the kindli
est feelings for those who have
made my stay in this place so
pleasant in many ways. After a
rest I shall again be with you and
may be in a better position to do
for the good of the county than at
present.
The young men who have pur
chased the paper are well able to
give the people of this county a
good paper as they are both well
versed in the necessary qualifica
tions that go to make up a news
paper man. With increased fa
cilities for work there is no reason
that the Journal should not forge
to the front as rapidly in the fut
ure as in the past and with best
wishes to all I bid you all good
bve. W. T. Fugle.
Commencing with this issue the
new management assumes control
of the Crook County Journal, hav
ing purchased the interests of W,
T. Fogle, who retires from news
paper work. The policy will be
continued as before, and every ef
fort will be made to make it a live
progressive county paper, and lo
properly represent the interests of
Prineville and our great surround
ing country.
Several names have already
been mentioned as possible suc
cessors to th-3 late Congressman
Tongue. Among the most promi
nent on the list are Hon. R. A.
Booth, of Lane; Hon. Percy Kelly,
of Linn; Hon. Geo. C. lirownell, of
Clackamas and Hon. Bingor Her
man, late of the general land of
fice. So far as known none of
these gentlemen have even signi
fied a willingness to accept, but
should any one of them be elected,
he would make an efficient and
capable representative.
of Oregon that elected him t
his present ollice, the Journal take
the liberty of predicting for him a
successful administration of that
office. His message to tiio State
legislature was marked by wisdom
and business conservatism, and his
recommended reforms are indeed
much needed.
It should be borne in mind by
contributors that the columns of a
newspaper are not supposed to be
for the purpose of fighting out per
sonal grudges. It tires the read
ing public, and besides they are
deserving of better. Any com
munication relating to the welfare
of our city, county or country will
gladlv be published, but as abuse
is not a policy of the present man
agement, we cannot print com
munications of thut character.
At Dickenson, N. C, there re
cently died a newspaper man, at
the age of 72, who had worked in
a newspaper office from the time
he was 12 years old. It was re
membered that he had frequently
said that he wanted that v news
papers should be his shroud. In re
spect for this often expressed de
sire, copies of the exchanges which
he most loved were wrapped
around his form in the coffin, and
a copy of the last issue cf his
paper placed under his head.
Thus he showed a devotion to his
calling equal to that of a soldier.
When all newspaper editors and
publishers come to Jove the news
paper as the soldier loves the col
ors, it will then follow naturally,
that nothing that-will tend to pol
lute, lower or disgrace the pages
devoted to the world's enlighten
ment will be printed.
Plain Facia.
Oregon's new Executive, though
he differs from us in politics is, we
believe, a man peculiarly udapteii
to the position, which he now fills
His administration of the offices of
State Attorney-General a n A
Prosecuting Attorney of Mult
nomah count were clar;'.c
erized by ability and honesty.
As it was the republican vote
During the campaign of last
year, both before and after the
conventions, I worked for the nom
ination and election of J. X. Wil
liamson to the office of congress
man from this district. The fact
is well known by all who read the
Journal during that period of time,
but having incurred the displeas
ure of his boss I fell under the ban
of his displeasure also. Through
his treachery I have been compell
ed to close out my business at a
loss of not lees" than 11500, after
laboring nearly two years to get a
paper established that would be an
honor to the county and to myself.
How this has been accomplished I
will state briefly: At the time I
bought the Journal it had all of
patronage of the land office at The
Dalles and continued to hold the
same until in October 1902, when
it was transferred to the Review-
without any just cause or reason.
When the timber land notices be
gan coming in it was-the custom
for those filing on land to tome to
the Journal office and get my re
ceipts for the publication fee and
send with the notices.and those re
ceipts were accepted at the land
office without question and the no
tices sent the Journal for publica
tion. These receipts were in the
nature of demands that the no
tices be published in the Journal.
I have letters from the register of
the land office stating in substance
that he had been importuned to
give notices to the Review, but
that he would not do so. This
virtually made the Journal the of
ficial paper of the land office. The
U. S. Land Laws in regard to tim
ber land notices say that a copy of
the notice shall be posted in the
land office for a period of sixty
days and a copy sent the appli
cant for publication "at his ex
pense" in the pacr published
nearest the land, and a decision of
the Commissioner of the General
Land Office last July upholds this
I law.
Acting in good faith and under
the impression that the receipts
I would lie honored in the future as
Jin the past, (I was never notified U
I the contrary).! issued alarge mini !
' her of these receipts and fini.lv j
j believing that I had a perfect right
j to use the money to receipt a.'

ments to the Journal plant ami,
divided with my then partner, W.I
H. Parker, and paid biiu his half
of the same besides buying him'
out when he wanted to tako a po
sition in the State Printer's ollice.
In order to do his boss1 bidding
and to do mo all the injury poss
ible, Mr. Williamson wielded the
whip handle over the Register and
had these notices, for which I had
issued receipts, sent to the Review,
of which paper ho was a part own
er at the time and no doubt vet
owns as much as ever in it. This
was done because Williamson ami
his backers had procured tho serv
ices of a man they could use to
better advantage in furthering
their political schemes than they
could me. Now they demand that
I pay to tho Review the money for
publishing these notices, which I
at all times stood in readiness to
publish and as tho Journal had
the largest circulation it is plain
that the ends of justice and the in
tent of tho law would have been
best subserved by having them
published in the Journal.
I ask all thinking men if they
believe that a man' who will do as
Williamson has done mo will do
to tie to in any caso? Do the
sheepmen of this county remem
ber the meeting of the Executive
Committee of the Oregon Wool-
growers Association in Antelope
last May when that association
had the allotment of the Cascade
forest reserve in its hands? Wil
liamson was a member of that
committee and the way he stood by
his friends in this county at that
meeting was worthy of tho man
who has did what lie could to
down me afteT I supported him as
best I could. He was not there
and did not think enough of his
friends to ask for a representative
from this county in his "stead.
Had it not been for the strenuous
efforts of T. II. Lafollett and Coun
ty Judge Wills the sheepmen of
this county would have lieen
counted out entirely. Further
more Williamson's interests are
identical with those of Wasco
county and he will work with that
county against this.
That there was some under
standing evident between the Wil
liamson outfit and the register of
the land office at The Dalles seems
evident from the fact that a large
number of the Botices were held
up from in June and even earlier
until October, when they came in
to the Review with a rush. There
are many other things that will
come to light when the time is
rijie for their appearance.
