THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER i8, 1905
FOR THE GOOD OF ALL.
For over a year past The Jour
nal has been answering by letter
the scores of inquiries which have
come to this office from residents
in various parts of the Uniteo
States relative to the irrigation
companies, the means of acquiring
land under the canal lines, cost
of water, climatic conditions, pro
ductiveness of the soil, etc. A
6hort time ago these inquiries
.became so numerous that it was
altogether impossible . to answer
each with a personal letter and in
consequence a letter was written
to the head offices of the twoi
v largest irrigation compauies operat
ing in this county asking that
circulars and advertising matter
be forwarded with which to
answer the many letters of inquiry.
From both companies came a
quantity of literature, and in a
letter from the Deschutes Irriga
tion JL Power company, acknow
ledging the request, appeared the
following:
"We are greatly pleased to re
ceive your note of the 19th inst.
and would have sent supplies of
our printed matter to Prineville
before this if we had supposed they
would be in demand."
In line with the thought sug
gested by the above and for the
benefit of those who have fallen
prey to the Oregonian's recent
masterful efforts to deride this
section, it might not be out of
order to hint that the residents
" of this portion of Crook county
are a charitable people. They are
anxious, eagerly so, to see the
county jump forward in leaps and
bounds. Progress and improve
ment are just as welcome as a
venison stew in the camp of a
starving man. The people realize
fully that western Crook county's
advancement adds to the welfare
of eastern Crook countv; that
the thousands being expended for
the reclamation of the Deschutes
valley circulate elsewhere than
along the banks of that stream.
The benefits accruing are mutua
One section is not benefitted with
out the other receiving a share.
We presume that we have a few
knockers. Without them human
ity would indeed be surrounded
with an elysian atmosphere. Thev
are prevalent everywhere. Even
in the tall tower of the Oregonian
they thrive in condition plethoric.
Job suffered from silent and
taciturn comforters. Present day
humanity tolerates the garrulous
kind. But along with the knock
ers and the burden of malicious
and derogatory statements recent
ly compiled by the Oregonian, this
portion of Crook countv is fully
alive to the possibilities of the
future. It has a keen appreciation
of the great good to be wrought by
irrigation, and no matter what
the report to the contrary or the
source from which it came, it is
fully cognizant of the benefits
which have already been derived
from the companies operating in
. the Deschutes valley and those
which cannot fail to accumulate
in the future.
ho Ihe Journal, expressing the
sentiment of the community now
blacklisted by the Portland morn
ing paper, expresses the wish that
success and rapid development
follow tne work of the Deschutes
Irrigation & Power company, the
Columbia Southern Irrigation
company or any other operating
within the borders of the countv
the completion of whose work will
make a greater and richer Inland
Empire. With that end in view
The Journal, in an effort to pro
mote the interests of the com
munity in which it derives sup-
port, will not delay in sending
forth the advestising circulars sent
it by two companies whose im
mense expenditures demand that
every favor possible be shown them
in return for the lasting benefits
at present accruing through them
to every portion of Crook county.
There is shown a disposition in
some quarters, hitherto friendly
disposed, to sneer at Thomas W.
I,nw$on of Boston and the work on
which he is engaged. It is assert
ed that in the last installmett of
his story he deals with the little
fish only and when lie refers to
the real men in the big conspiracy
he speaks of them with flattering
unction. Nevertheless the way he
hits off F. Augustus Heinze is
really worth while. His pen
picture of the Montana copper
magnate is bold, audacious and
fairly quivers with life. And he
makes it quite apparent that
lleinze was at one stage the most
important of all the subsidiary
characters and for a time threaten
ed to share the honors with the
top-notchers. When everything
that can be said against Lawson
is asserted these facts remain:
He has vividly told the most
thrilling high finance stories ever
penned. He has told it in a way
to absorb interest and to leave an
ineffaceable impression. He has
told it with the circumstantiality
of one to whom all the details
were perfectly familiar and with
the graphic spirit of one w ho was
living over again scenes in which
he had been a conspicious actor.
At times he may protest just a
little too much but he has shown
courage of the highest order in his
whole narrative, he id manifestly
frank and outspoken and if he had
not been sure of his facts, has left
himself open a hundred times " to
the charge of libel which has never
been brought against him. It was
he who first directed attention to
the great insurance companies of
New York and if there was no
other outcome to his work it would
be justified by that fact alone.
Irrespective of what Lawson may
be in his individual capacity he
has certainly proven the greatest
educative force that has lately
risen and it may not be entirely
too much to say one of the great
est of the reformatory forces which
the country has recently known.
All this may be said on the
principle of giving the devil his
due. Journal.
Road company has fold it? prant
of lands" in Oregon to a corporation
which will plar on the market
the vast area controlled by the
former coniany over .10 ycarc,
is about as welcome a bit of news
as has been received in Crook
since its history began. The
richest and most valuable strip of
territory in the county- has been
in the hands of this self indulgent
Koad company so long that it is
difficult now to believe that it will
soon be on the market and open
to settlement. Crook county's
hope for over a quarter of a century
has been that some day the Road
company itself or through a trans
fer of its property would allow
this immense ari-a to drift into the
possession of settlers, and now
that lomr cherish! hmw ;u
about to be realize!. The benefits
to Iv derived from a settlement
and cultivation of this tract which
cuts through the very heart of the
county, including its most valu
able acreage, are almost beyond
estimation. Population and pro
duction will be given a decided
stimulus if, as stated, the 4(X(XX)
acres of road land in this county,

"We shall learn from the Fede
ral grand jury in a few days just
how efficient the Prineville press
bureau is," says the mud slinging
Oregonian, and the iconic here
have waited patiently for the
government body to disclose the
status of an organization unknown
to anyone outside of the tower!

applied with the same thickness to
unfavored ones.

The direct primary law will be
given a thorough test next April
and soon afterwards popular
opinion will either condemn or
sanction the law passed at the
last session of the legislature.
Papers throughout the state are
discussing the pros and cons of
the law, and the Woodburn
Independent, which is, a strong
supporter of the measure, has the
following to say:
State Chairman Frank C. Baker
kindly consents to give the Direct
Primary a fair trial. He intimates
that this law will not be in exist
ance after one trial. But will the
trial be fair if such men as Chair
man Baker hold a formal meeting
of erstwhile Republican leaders,
under the guise of a love feast,
and seek to blind the people with
recommmendations as to candi
dates? What will be accomuHsh-
1
ed by this proposed love feast?
The fact of the matter iV that
Baker and others through the
Direct Primary will soon be out
of nower. The neonle will nnt
1 l I ..... ..vv
only choose the , nominees for
office, but will select the commit
teemen, who will take charge of
the organization. This is the real
cause for worry on .the Dart of
Baker, who has made a political
error in not cheering for the Direct
I rimary and in asking the leaders
to assemble. He, as well as
Senator Fulton, has made a grave
mistake in not fiibmittinsr without
subterfuge to the will of the
people. They gain nothing in
making the people, infatuated
with the Direct Primary policy.
mad, and they will, in time, learn
that the people are filled to over
flowing with resentment at the
recent action.
