Judge Hamilton, soliciting- support for

we bear of similar tetters throughout

Hamilton to stand by and see one Dem

to defeat, against Brown, whtle.be him
self won out by large majorities? Or
Is he going Teddy Koosevelt one better

tics may be good, coming: from such
exalted positions, but It doesn't look
good to ordinary men raised In the

Evidently there is something about
the Hamilton-Brown combination that
the people In remote sections like this
are not familiar with, or Judge Hamil
ton would not butt into Republican
politics as be has.
If Judge Hamilton has unfurled the

any man to any office, and we think,
evidently does the Republicans of
this district, that sixteen years Is
enough, even though there was no valid
reasons fsrther for making a change.
If Judge Hamilton knows any reason
why Mr. Brown should bang on to the
public teat another term, will he give
the same to the press of the country

It has Just been discovered that an
attempt was made Monday night to
blow up the Ament dam on Rogue
River, throe miles couth of Grants Pass.
The explosion tore away a considerable
portion of the structure, and. If high
water should continue, the dam will be
swept away. Three sticks ot dynamite
were found near the dam. Tracks of
two persons were discovered along the
river hank, and It is supposed that some
irate fishermen are responsible for the
Job.
The Ament dam was built by a pri
vate corporation to supply water for
Irrigation and electric power. Reverses
sent it into the hands of a receiver
recentlly. and a fish dam was never
built. This aroused the indignation of
local sportsmen, snd a protest was en

Tl'e extraordinary work of Representative A. W. Lafferty
In procuring the passage through the House of the three-year
homestead bill, with a five months' leave of absence each
year, has brought to Oregon's young Congressman hearty let
ters of congratulation from leading men In the Senate and
House.
It is known that older Western members believed it prac
tically impossible to pass the bill. In view of the opposition
of Secretary Fisher. But Ifferty made a personal canvass
if the Members of the House. He made the principal spe-ecli
for the bill before the public lands committee. When it came
ur on the floor I.afferty spoke for the measure, and read
Canadian homestead laws to show that across the border
homesteaders mav prove up In three years and have a slxi
months' leave each year. Ifferty also secured the rejection
of tlie Inroot amendment, which would have prevented home
steads being taken on timber lands.
I-afferty's mud-ellnging enemies have been knocked
groggv by this latest triumph. The political stock of those
who thought thev could take advantage of the petty fight on
Lafferty and slide easily into his berth has taken a decided
slump.
Among those who have formally conveyed their congratu
lations to Mr. Ifferty are Senator Borah of Idaho, Senator
Chamberlain of Oregon. Speaker Clark, Representative
Stephens of California. Representative Klncaid of Nebraska,
and Representative Murdock of Kansas. Their letters follow:
