MR. BLANCHARD
EXPLAINS
Prineville, Or., March 0, 'OH
To the people of Crook county:
llcc-use ol an article which up
pes red in tlio laxi Issue ol the Mad
rt Pioneer and because I wish to
m-liw my position plain to the 'o
pie of tlio county, I have written
the following article which contain
th fart in the cimo tn I tee them
Crook county is naturally divid
ed into three Mpnrato pnrt- the
eastern and southern, or clock
raining ilintrtct; thn west central,
or thn great irrigated district and
the north i-enlral which is pri
manly devoted to grain raining
I believe that every thinking
man will agree that nothing would
be more fair than that ench of
these districts should have a rep
resentative in the next county
court. The irrigated district al
ready haa ita representmivo in
Commissioner laley, of Laidlaw;
the atock raining district will un
doubtedly Ih represented hy Mr.
Ilice of Hay Creek (an there m em
to bo no opposition to him). Now
ia it not junt and fair to every one.
that the county judgnhip should go
to the great grain raining district
round Madraaf
Immediately after I announcd
my candidacy for the ollieo of
county achool ucrintendat,
aome of my friend came to me and
tried to get me to withdraw from
my candidacy for that position
and announce rnynelf a candidate
for the office of county judjff.
Thia I positively refuned to do.
During the three weeks following I
waa importuned by many people,
from nearly all parta of the county,
to make the change aa ituUd
above; atill I relaxed, hut when it
became apparent that the people
from Lamonta, Culver and my
home precinct (Kutcher) were de
airoua that I come out for county
judge, I decided to investigate the
matter and mado a three days' trip

c
through the funning country
around Mndran, during which time
I met less than half a dozen met)
who were opposed to tny making
(he change, while aliuont all with
whom I talked were very anxious
that I ahould aniiuunce mynelf a
candidate for the ofliee of county
judge.
It waa only after finding out
the wiMfTea of the eoplu of my
home precinct and finding that
there woufTl be no commissioner
from there, that I did decide to
withdraw from my candiducy for
county nchocil sujwrintendent and
consent to make the race for
county judge. If thia makes of
me a "niisc lluneou" candidate,
then I plead guilty to being one.
I have not aked and do not in
tend to ak any man who has
promined hia aupport to any other
candidate for the oflke of county
judge, to support me for that ofliee.
However, I should expect every
man to vote for what he considers
the bent interent of tho couimunit v
in which he liven,
An to having "forfeited all claim
to the aupport of my friends" in
the Madraa country, I really can
not nee how I have done that, an it
Ia only because of their nnking me
to make the change that I consent
ed to do ho. aa ia evidenced by a
numerounly signed petition in
which they not only anked me to
withdraw Irom my candidacy for
county achool superintendent and
concent to become a candidate for
the office of county iude. but in
which they i ledged me their aup
port for said hint mentioned office.
Aa to my platform I have made
no promises to any ono, neither
Kua any one acketl me to do so, but
if I am elected tt tho oflke of
county judge, I shall, to the beat of
my ability, lalor to give every pre
cinct in Crook county a "iSquare
Deal." Very truly yours,

MET TO TALK
RAILROAD
Charles Ehret of Redmond, met
a number of busineaa men at the
club rooms Saturday evening to
talk over a railroad proposition.
Mr. Ehret explained that he was
deeply interested in the transpor
tation question of Crook county
and had some correspondence with
the officials of the Portland, Eu
gene Sl Eastern Railway that is
building an electric line to connect
Portland, Salem, Eugene, Albany
and other places in the Willam
ette valley. This is the same com
pany that ia building np the Mc-
Kenzie river. While this com
pany ia incorporated to build an
electric line from Portland to Eu
gene and on over the Cascades in
to Crook county, yet it may be
many years before it will see its
way clear to do so unless the peo
ple of this section show some will
ingness to help in the undertaking.
Th is is what Mr. Ehret came over
to see about. He wanted to know
whether or not Prineville would do
her part toward getting the much
needed transportation. Mr. Ehret
was not long in getting an answer.
He was assured that the city would
meet any reasonable proposition
more than half way. What was
wanted here was some definite
facta to work upon and the matter
would be taken np at once. Mr.
Ehret expressed himself as well
pleased with his mission and would
have it arranged ao that Mr.
Welch, the general manager of the
company, would come here with a
definite proposition to lay before
the people.
