OFFICIAL PAPER OF CROOK COUNTY.
THURSDAY, MAY 25, 1905.
. What was the Hibernian's name
who called this gentle spring?
Will some one kindly crack a
peanut shell in Manchuria lest we
forget that the J-R war is still in
progress.
The strike breakers in the Chi
cgo strike to all appearances have
struck a strike that strikes but
won't strike out.
The county is anxiously await
ing the coming of the next rail
road rumor. Board and lodging
will not be furnished unless first
class recommendations come with
it.
Mayor Williams' campaign for
the chief seat in the municipal
government of Portland is meeting
with as strenuous opposition as is
possible to print on sheets of white
paper. The Portland Journal, in
its uphill struggle for clean poli
tics, does not vary its sentiments
a great deal from those of the
ordinary commonwealth when it
assumes the position that a man
who served in Grant's cabinet and
who is now backed by all the cor
rupting influences inside the city
limits, is a trifle too old and too
vacillating in character to hold the
reins of power in a growing and
progressive city. The present
mayor would be all right were it
not for the fact that be is principal
ly all wrong, so far as his present
position is concerned.
The appalling tide of immigra
tion which is pouring into the
country, is a matter swiftly evolv
ing itself into a national question
It is likely that Congress will at
the behest of the president take
restrictive steps in the matter at
its next session. Certainly it is
time for such action. The class
of emigrants at the present time
is such that Uncle Sam's broad
acres are threatened with pauper
homes, to say nothing of the il
literacy and criminal characteris
tics evinced in the major portion
of the new arrivals. On the other
hand Uncle Sam's dominion is
capable of housing many millions
besides the present population.
There is room for them. But they
should be the right kind. Sunny
Italy sounds pleasant to the ear.
Her scenery and climate are great,
but her migrating sons, who land
at Ellis island, would give the lie
to a panorama of paradise itself.
It is a matter of regret that just
at the time when the fetters of the
law were about to fasten them
selves about Arch McKay, that the
extreme carelessness of Gilliam
county's sheriff should permit the
prisoner to escape. Of course, the
county is better off minus a shrewd
cattle rustler, like McKay, but his
depredations in this county alone
were enough to insure him a long
period of punishment during which
time he would have had no op
portunity to prey upon another
community in which he is less
intimately known. As it is his
first landing place will in all
probability be the next to suffer
from his- smooth and winning
wayB and eventually, after he has
been a Bource of loss to other
stockmen, he will land in the
place where members of his tribe
generally land the gilded and
barred cage, But his inevitable
denouement does not in any
way mitigate the color of Sheriff
Keeton's supreme carelessness in
sleeping while game walked away.
If ordinary diligence had been
followed, McKay would soon have
been before the court in Crook
county to be tried for the numer
ous crimes on the public range of
which he has been accused. But
McKay is gone. Sheriff Keeton is
probably wiser now than he was.
The region that McKay visits next
will probably also be wiser after
he has gone.

The High school baseball team
played iU first game of the season
at Lamonta last Sunday and met
a graceful defeat to the amount ot
11 to 12. The Lamonta young
sters batted out eleven runs in the

change in the local team's lineup
held them down to a lone run
during the next -six innings.
Prineville's eleven runs were scat

number will be greatly increased
in a short time, especially on the
line between Prineville and
Madras.

hand when the office opened Tues
day morning and the number in
creased to about two dozen during
