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.

the purchase of the rights of a pri
Tate company operating in tht

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

The following beautiful and
pathetic lines, by some author un
known to fame deserved, will touch
a responsive chord in the breasts
of many men, ring the bell, and
hit the bull's eye:
It I should die tonight,
And you should come to my cold
corpse and say.
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. As deputy district at
torney Bell said at one of the
hearings this week these indict
ments and arrests are the culmi
nation of two years effort to un
earth a gang of stock rustlers who
have been enjoying, owing to the
methods of their work, a period of
prosperity free from any hindrance
