During the hard times of a few years ago when the prices of stock were low, it was -within his power to hreak large numbers of stock men, and take advantage of con ditions, and several of the stock men offered to let him have their stock for his claim against them, but he helped them through the hard times and today those same men are among the leading stock men in Eastern Oregon. This is the sort of a man whose friends have virtually forced him into the race for republican nomi nation for State Treasurer. Invidious comparisons are al ways odious, hut the records can speak. IJavc the worthy gentle men who oppose h.ni in the race very much to offer as against a life-record like this? .Not that we have heard of. Mr. Aitkin has made money for his company and money for his bank but it has all been legitimate and clean money; not one cent of it having been wrung from the dis tressed and poverty-stricken, -the pauper and the widow. Mr. Aitkin proposes an amend ment forcing the state hoard, the interest to he paid to the state, Tli in may be harking back to the strenuous days of the ancient Spartans, but it is honest and the people know it. All Mr. Aitkin desires is the Hat salary paid by the Stale for his services not the immense ''graft" gathered in In state Treasurer in the way of interest on personal deposits of money, really the money of tin state, and no part of their personal prerogatives. There is no question but that the people will stand squarely anil firmly by a man of Mr. Aitkin's character if they can only know it in time. That is why this paper is earnestly cautioning its readers to scan closely the past records of the various candidates and decide for themselves who among them all bits proven himself the real friend of the people. eloquently hinted at in the caption of hint week's editorial in (lie Jour nal. Madras I'loin-er. The Journal has no desire to stir up a sectional fight over the nomination for eommissionership. That was not the intent of the editorial apearing in these column two weeks ago, and it is not now believed that there are any grounds for the under current of feeling expressed in the quoted matter from the Pioneer. The Journal's wish is to see a western Crook county man nomi nated and elected On the Republic an ticket to the otlice of commis sioner. That section of the county is more entitled to representation at thin time than any other, and the candidate who receives the nomination should be granted the hearty support of both the district lying north and the one lying south of Crooked river. There should be no hamstrung quiibbles over this point. But the Pioneer's didactic asser tions revolve around the fact that The Journal has made favorabic mention of .Mr. Bayley as the logical candidate for the nomina tion. Vlf there is any doubt about the matter, The Journal wishes to emphasize the fact that the Pioneer's assumptions relative to the position of this paper concern ing the eommissionership a r e exactly right. Mr. Bayley was chosen as a candidate by n joint delegation which met at Redmond. The whole of western Crook county was interested in that particular meet ing and this paper assumed as a logical sequence that the voice of that meeting expressed the wishes of the district particularly interest ed. The Madras country was not overlooked or slighted. In fact it was through the instrumentality of some of the voters in ihe Madras district that the meeting was held. The Journal has no personal feeling whatever in the matter. Mr. Fisher is a large hind owner and without doubt would make equally as good a commissioner as Mr. Bayley. There is no gain saying that. It is not a question of individual worth or ability, but instead the demonstration of the northern half of western Crook county indirectly sanctioning the candidacy of one man and then throwing its support to another. The right to do this is not question ed. Likewise it does not appeal to The Journal as keen logic that the Pioneer should take this paper to task for making favorable mention of a candidate who was indirectly assured the support of the Madras distaict itself. John H. Atkin for Treasurer. It ito lie remembered, and parti cularity by those religiously and charatibly inclined, that Hon. John II. Aitkin of Huntington now seek ing nomination on the Republican ticket for State Treasurer, has liber ally assisted more calls upon public charitv than anv man in Kastern ''Because the west side of the county is entitled to representa tion in the county court. Be cause he is acquainted with the needs of the people in the , matter of roads and bridges and because he will represent the entire county as well as the western part. Be cause he is a man who has made a success of his own affairs ami this gives promise of success in' county busincf-s. Because he is a property owner and will not reck lessly expend the people's money. Because he is honest, fair pro gressive and careful." The voters at the primaries on April "JO should remember Mr. Bayley with a large vote. Bend Bulletin. A. S. Ireland Appointed Supervisor. A. S. Ireland, who was placed in charge of the Maury forest reserve last Spring, received the appoint ment yesterdav of supervisor of the western division of the Blue Mountain Forest Reserve which has just been created. Mr. Ireland will be in charge of the forest guards who will look. after the reserve grounds and asks that applications be sent to him, forest guards will be appointed whose term of ollico will hold until the first civil service exami nation given in this district. Forest guards will be required to lake this examination before being prompted to the positions of forest ranger, assistant forest ranger or- deputy forest ranger. The forest guards to be appoint ed by Mr. Ireland this year will look after the range, guard against tires and prevent trespass by out side stock. Hearing Before State Land Board. The' State hand Board met in special session last Friday to hear a statement of Judge Senaca Smith, attorney for the Columbia South em Irrigating Company, relative to the failure of the company to comply with the order of the Board to submit its rules and regulations for the sale of land and the dis tribution of water to settlers on or before March lit). Judge Snith stated to the Land Board in effect the company could not and would not obey the order in so far as it fixed the amount of water to be supplied to each acre of land dur ing the irrigating season at 1.8 feet, Questioned by Treasurer Moore regarding the company's ability to supply sullicicnt water for irrigat ing purposes, Judge Smith stated there was no question but that there was ample water to supply more than that amount this sea son, but that the company object- I eft to adopting the rule, even though it was understood that the 1 nour( woujd reduce the quantity I of water if 1.8 feet was fouud to be His Sterling Record. too much after a season's trial.
