THE ELECTION
The election is over and almost
any politician is ready to admit
that he really knew all the time
that the results would be thus and
so.
The facts are that the people are
the only ones who really know
what they are going to do before
they "ote and the power of the
Dolitical boss and machine rule,
from national politics down to local
affairs, is telt less each succeeding
election.
The real foundation of our
government is based upon the
power that is felt in the vote of the
individual. Once again we have
the demonstration that the major
ity rules and there can be none so
great as to condemn the will of the
majority.
Some excellent men were defeat
ed but the disposition seems to be
to take the defeat like men, and
absolutely no complaint is heard
from them.
As we suggested a short time
ago in these columns, the world
moves in the same old way and by
another week, almost everyone will
be reconciled to the new order of
things and that there was a warm
election will be all but forgotten.

Important Occurrences of Past
Week Briefly Compiled for
Cur Readers.
THE BOND ELECTION.
Before we are through with the
returns in the county and National
election, the vote on a bond issue
to finance construction on the
Ochoco Irrigation District is upon
us. This election comes Saturday
of this-week and is mere important
by far than the other issues have
been.
The, voting of these bonds will
mean the transformation of a large
amount of non-productive or low
producing lands surrounding this
city into land of the highest value
in the entire central part of the
state.
The voting of the bonds does not
mean their immediate issuance, but
it is another step in the right direc
tion and everyone who has a vote
should cast it in favor of the issue.
THE BULLETIN IN LINE. -Editor
Sawyer of the Bend Bul
letin, spoiled a half column of
otherwise perfectly good space in
his last issue, in which he lauds
himself for the reason that the
Bulletin shop is going.Jor has just
gone, onto the list of eight-hour day
shops.
He states, among other things,
that the town and the demands of
the shop are such that the Bulletin
is passing into a class that is somc
' what above the "country" shop,
and thus the change.
In the interests of the eight hour
day in a print shop or "country"
office, much is to be said, and it
is all good. The amusing thing
about this affair is that the Journal
has been an eight-hour shop for
many years and it is gratifying to
see the Bulletin attempting to get
up to our level.
Irrigation Pay
The Tieton Irrigaiion Project
situated near North Yakima, Wash
ington, comprises about the same
number of acres as the Ochoco
Project although the lands are con
siderably cut-up by rocky non-irrigable
ridges. The climatic con
d'tions as well as the elevation
above the sea level are about
similar to the conditions in the
Prinevil'ie Valley. The cost per
acre which the land owners under
the Tieton Project have had to
assume was about $92.00 per acre.
The crops raised are principally
hay, erain, fruits and potatoes.
The preliminary estimates of the
-totals for the 1916 crcp in the Tie
ton Project given out by Mr. R. H.
Hayden, Secretary of the Tieton
Water Users' Association, show that
the increase above the figure of last
year will be over $500,000.00. The
total will approximate $1,250,000.
The farmers are estimating an
average return of $50.00 per acre
from their land which is $13.00 per
acre greater than the average yield
of last year. From this it may be
seen that the entire cost of tht
Ochoco Project when the lands are
all in cultivation could easily be
returned in one year's crops.

PLAY COMING SOON
"The Servant, in the House"
which is to be presented by the
Senior Class, November 24th, re
lates the happenings in an English
Country Vi;arage on an early
morning in spring. The Vicar
"Oh, wretched man that I am,"
through the influence of his wife
(Auntie in the plav) "has been led
to make "some compromise on the
difficult question of his entrance i
into the Kingdom of Heaven." His!
church being in a deplorable state
of decay, and his brother, Manson, t
in India having heard of the same,
writes he will come and help in
its restoration. VYhen'.Manson ar-'
rives he employs himself as a
butler, studies the situation in the
household with a view' to "Cleanse
it of its abominations. This feat
he accomplishes, partly in the
fourth act when he demands that
the obnoxious, scheming and
vicious Bishop of Lanchashire leave
the loom, and finishes the feat in
the fifth act, whereby his Tpresence
and manner, Auntie and the Vicar
are forced to recognize Robert, the
outcast brother, as a real brother
and as the father of their niece,
Mary, whom they have kept in
ignorance of this fact. The play
closes by all deciding in the words
of Robert, "Some one 'as to clear
up the muck of the world! I'm
the one! ' Rogers, the page boy,
"is jiggered at the goin's on's in
this 'ouse!"
