The former have taiten i decided stand against anv division of the countv. or tin creation of any new counny out of the territory now embraced within the limits of Crook. And the peculiar and best part of the mai ler is that the resolutions came from the representatives of the Haystack district a section of the country upon which Stockman county had laid its designs two years ago. The Republicans could well have adopted the same kind of a resolution. Perhaps they would had not the matter escaped their notice. As it is the ; Democrats hive taken the initiative, but the Republicans do' not hesitate to ex press their approval. Two years ago when the move ment was started to cut off a slice of the northern part of Crook coun ty, attach it to a portion of Wasco and call the whole Stockman county, there arose a strenuous objection. It was shown that the increase in copulation and the rapid development of this'section of the county did'not at the time jistify a division of the county and the same argument can be applied'now and with greiter force. Two years ago the develop ment of the county had just be gun. At the present time is well under way. All sections are filling up with a new popula- lation, new enterprises are gain ing a foothold and the emigration (ron the east is scattering to all sections. This immigration into Eastern Oregon has not as yet be come fixed, neither has a center of population been determined, and not until both shall have been brought about frill the time be ripe to establish the boundaries of a new county. Five years from now the increase in population may have gravitated to the western part of the county along the Deschutes to such an ex tent that a'division in that direc tion will be more in keeping with existiog'Conditioiis and of greater advantage than the cut-off now proposed. Be it said that that district is now tilling up more rapidly than any other section, and so far there is no clamor for a new county there. A Stockman county division might at this time bring about its advantages, but they would not be equal to the advantages gained it a division were made later on when condi tions were equal, population more staple, and the general line of de velopment firmly established. entire northern side of the city Wouldn't a little time, tumble and necessary expense this summer be better than to have a recurrence of the Hood next spring with the property loss perhaps considerably greater? The channel of the Ochoco is plenty wide and deep enough to carry all the water that conn down from the mountains at this time, and the stream should. thrnngh the city at least, be kept within this channel, (travel banks and a few wing dams in the right places will do the work and the coming summer should see steps taken to prevent a heavy loss next spring if the waters of the stream should rise again to a dangerous height.

The nominal damage of the pio perty lying along the Ochoco dur ing the past week should be taken as a timely warning. The recent high waters have caused a small loss. If the waterB recede soon that loss will scarcely be worth mentioning, but if they should continue to rise, and climatic in fluences are favorable at present toj 1 such a condition, the property damage is likely to be considerable. n L J n A n Li n r.i n Li rt Li n L J rn .j n LJ n Li Li r.i Li r t Li ri Li ri CJ r 1 l j ri l i ri LJ r i L J n L J El CJ L J n L J n L J n L J ri L J inrnrvinrvin i- Tonsoriul Artists N.
