RED EYED HOODOO THURSDAY, MAY IB, I90S. President Roosevelt's bear hunt ing trip in. Colorado has proved disastrous to Idaho. The president found a lack of room in the former state and has set aside an addition al tix million acres of forest reserve in the latter state where he can hunt next year without being mo lested by the various disagreeable forms of civilization. Colonel A. R. Green, immortal in the state of Oregon, is in the vicinity. Finding everybody in Prineville indicted and with their eyes on the nearest neck of woods, he left yesterday for Bend, another home of the timber and land var raits. Answer all questions truth fully, gentlemen, or you may get pinched for contempt of Hitchcock. It has always been expected that Eastern Oregon would develop through the agency of irrigation and the fact has startled no one. But the proposition advanced in the Willamette valley to irrigate its moss covered, mud bespattered surface with water from irrigation ditches goes several beyond the limit. Nine months of rain! three months of artificial irriga tion! Is it possible the Willamette valley has become so ossified that it will cut out the sole remaining portion of the year when it can enjoy spring showers? bag enough of these leeches to put a period to their thievery. So far about one dozen have been caught in the meshes and their partners in hiding are likely before long to come also in contact with the web. The efforts of the prosecuting officers to rid the country of such an undesirable class of residents is again evidence of the fact that the frontier with its sinister ways is passing into history; that even in remote districts such as this, civil ization's rule of right and her honest modes of livelihood shal. be forced upon even those of the community's residents who would trample down and otherwise batter the bulwarks of deeencj and right living. The law still lives, and the quicker it finds its victims the better for the community in general. j Tho first wool clips of the reason j -sheared in this vicinity passed through the city this week on their ( ' way to Shanikfl. t tinrtluer lVrr.v lias txvonie h piirt-! ! iter with J.

There will now come in regular order, twenty years of preliminary sparring arid a few surveys: twenty years of location work; a few years of red tape and then twenty years of actual con struction work. Tne great grand children 6f the present Klamath county residents will reap many benefits from the government's un dertaking. Let us hope that love of country and patience are car dinal virtues among the people who have been so signally favored. FOLLOWS PRINEYILLElw. n . mi : oi- Ox fT --v .

Weeping and heartsick o'er my life less clay If I should die tonight, And you should come in deepest grief and woe, And say, "Here's that ten dollars that I owe," I might arise in my large white cra vat, And say, "What's that?" If I should die tonight, And you should come to my cold corpse and kneel, Clasping my bier to show the grief you feel: I say, If I should die tonight, And you should come to me, and there, and then, Just even hint that you would pay that ten, I might arise the while; But I'd drop dead again. The Mnverick. The agitation for better railroad facilities in Oregon has taken hold of the people who w ill no longer rest satisfied until something has been done. Thev realize that thev are lace to face with conditions that must be met and mastered, otherwise the state will be degrad ed into an inferior place from which it can never emerge. In the past they have asked nothing and they have got it with regular ity and constancy. They have been proud of the fact that the O. R. & X. was "an Oregon road," but when they woke to an ap preciation that the Oregon road had bottled up the rtate wherever it was free to act and that it per mitted it and the sections of other slates naturally tributary to Port land to be bottled up, tne delight in the local designation has been somewhat tempered and the joy chastened by what we cannot now help regarding as an aflliction. In the. view of many we have now come to the parting of the ways. Simple promises no longer satisfy anybody, for we have ceased to be rainbow chasers. Actual perform ance is what is required, and the people are practically a unit in the demand. Under circumstances such as these something will have to be done and that speedilv. The people are helping themselves in many ways, out tney have by no means exhausted their resources, and unless something tangible is speedily forthcoming there will be the most radical change of senti ment with reference to railroads in Oregon that has ever been ex perienced at any time or in any state in the whole union. And no one concerned should make a mis take about it. Journal. The increasing list of indict ments and warrants for arrest on the charge of horse and cattle stealing which has been an im portant feature in court matters since the first cf the month, marks, it is to be hoped, the close of a long reign of thieving on the public range.
