county consequently eliom
in on tour of hand shaking and
congratulating and see to it that
the board receives its full share.
For a time it ac painfully ap
parent that those who controlled
the destinies of the educational
facilities would become afflicted
with the disease of antiquity and
apread before the public a summer
cottage in which to educate the
county's children. But a fortu
nate ihange of atmosphere brought
the board around to the belief that
the beet is none too good for the
rising generation and Crook coun
ty in consequence will soon be the
home of a creditable High school
building.
And it is not altogether the fact
that the board has seen fit to erect
a building of the right caliber, but
more, it is the moving policy
evinced the disposition displayed
tn keep abreast of the times and
keep the county from taking a
backward step. That reason more
than all others is sufficient to
sanction the extra expenditure in
the construction of a suitable edi
fice. The time has passed when
"any old thing will do," and the
move toward permanency in the
Maintenance of public institutions
was just right and nothing more.
Now if the same spirit is expressed
in the matter of securing a sub
stantial court house, Crook county
will have reason to feel proud of
itself and the otlicials in office.
And it must be borne ill mind that
the county can secure both these
new buildings without increasing
its present tax levy, so the wail of
. additional exjiene has already
been laid on the. shelf. Moreover
the whole matter is deendent up
on the jieople themselves whether
they shall at this time display a
spirit of enterprise ami progrcssive
. ness or fall hack again into a rut
of indolence. Let it sutlice to add
that Crook countv owes it to the
brilliant future ahead to build u
in the best possible manner all of
the county institutions and it will
lie a poor stick of a man who will
lay a single obstacle in the path
way of the march toward greater
development and greater possibil
ities. A CHANCE FOR THE HEARST
PAPERS.
Secretary Hitchcock has done
nothing if he has not succeeded
while serving as the head of the
Interior department in supplying
the Hearst papers with plenty of
field notes for the next national
campaign. The secretary's cry of
fraud in everything pertaining to
the public land.- will no doubt
prove to be food and raiment for
the Hearst supporters. And on
the other hand Mr. Hearst himself
has probably been looking for jti-t
such a seasoned piece of meat as
Mr. Hitchcock ill the pist eight
een months has furnished.
Every public person in every
puhlic land state in the nest is a
swindler. That was the conclu
sion reached before it was proved
and the Secretary is still working
on the conclusion. The proof niac
in a few instances come later. In
ike meantime all others under the
ban ( suspicion will touch lightly
of public lands. To own a tract
of government domain is to brand
oneself a thief, an unpleasant fea
ture to be sure and a man does not
like to feel himself a thief even in
his own home.
And these are some of the fea
tures that William Randolph is
likely to pick up. It's a fine thin;:
to go into a presidential campaign
and lxiint with a finger of scorn at
the multitude of public land ias
calsmostof whom are Republic
ans. That in itself, is suhstanre
matter enough to form the basis of
ft IMWerfu! saffron colored drag on
the White House. Almost anyone
would jump at the chance and Mr.
W. R. will have to take some
rather long jumps anyway. j

as to the author of this article s
full and running over of wisdom
and precocity. It develop that it
is not a Prineville product and
suspicion points its forefinger of
guilt to the Oregonian Elevator
Hoy who presides over the destines
of the Bend Bulletin. And if the
Elevator Boy wrote such an array
of startling statistics he ought to
know because he has' been in
Crook county several months and
has spent all of his time at Bend.
The atmosphere there has been
materially enlightened since his
advent into the community.
School difficulties, which were in ai
shajie resembling an octopus, have
been straightened out satisfactori
ly; great irrigation schemes in
volving the death of one ami the
birth of another have reached a
happy culmination; iegal statistics
and political economy from the
mouth of the Elevator Boy have
found ready ears; the moral at
mosphere has been materially
cleansed, and all is pence and
quiet since the great ami Truthful
Elevator Boy landed with both
feet and clean hands in the broad
and fertile Deschutes Valley. He
is held in such high esteem by his
feilow constituents that his word
is never doubted and in politics he
is, of course, .in authority.
So it comes to pass that if the
Elevator Boy is the father of the
article, 'Crook Leans Toward
Moody he has again lteen found
guilty of telling the truth, because
Crook surely is leaning ami Mr.
Moody will be crushed by the
weight in the final fall. All baji
to the Elevator Boy. N'o inilleni
uin is needed when the Truth
shines forth with such startling
brilliancy from such a favored and
enlightened spot as the Elevator
Bov has made the Bend.

The record of Mr. Williamson
in congress is a credit to hisability
He has been in office only a little
over three months, and he has
done more for his constituents
than his predecessor did in two
sessions of congress. His success
in securing the passage of the re
lief hill for the settlers in Sher
man county is the only intelligent
solution of thin problem that has
ever been attempted. These citi
zens will have their claims audit
ed by a memht-r of the cabinet,
ami this is the only business way
that any effectual relief could lie
given. The efforts of Mr. William
son in this line shows that he is an
indefatigable worker, and his suc
cess in securing the passage of the
bill demonstrates the fact that he
understands legislative methods
Mr. Williamson has proved him
self a true friend of the people
and an intelligent worker for their
best interests. Dalles Chronicle.

Portland, Ore. Mar. 17 The
Mitchell faction of the Republican
party has carried Multnomah
county by a hie majority. The
west side of the city stood solid for
the Regular Republicans and iirac
