THURSDAY Feb. 1, 1906 AN IDEAL CANDIDATE. There seems to be little en thusiasm among the Republi-' cans of the Secoud Congressional District over any of the an nounced candidates -for the non illation for representative in, Congress, and thiB fact is caus-f ing them to cast around for a,' more popular candidate." Ore gon needs strong .men, - in her congressional delegation men who are free from the taint of graft and who can and will ren der the state clean, effective and unselfish service in the Nation's capital. The friends of Hou 'Malcolm A. Moody throughout i.the district have been insistent , that he become a candidate, but lie has emphatically stated that, for personal and business reasons, he will not permit his name to be used. Judge Stephen A. Lowell of Pendleton is also being prominent!7 men 'tioned in connection with the candidacy for Congress from the Second district. Certainly there in no one in .the district "who would more nearly meas ure up to all the requirements of the ideal candidate for Con gress from this district. Judge Lowell is one of the "best known lawyers in Eastern Oregon. He is known in his profession -for hismigged hon esty, for his .deepjearcing and studious habits, and for his high regard for the ethics of his profession. He is in the prime,. of life, energetic, capable, free from any taint of graft or cor porate influence, and his candi 'dacy would arouse such euthu-' siasm as would win him the nomination without any effort on his part. He is the logical candidate, geographically, com ing aB he does from oile of tlit. most important counties in the ""eastern portion of the second district. 1 While Judge Lowell has not absolutely declined to be drawn into the race, it is recognizee "that he would not of his own. initiative enter in to the scramble" for office. He 'belongs tc the old school of lawyers, and the same high code of ethics would apply in his political life. The office must seek the man. The Second District needs such a representative in Congress as Judge' Lowell; tire state Of Ore gon needs him; and Judge Lowell will doubtless jdeld to a strong popular (Jemand for his services. -', . 1 rr rp 'department by portions who felt that the despoliation of the falls would be a deseoration These protests and appeals have bornefruit, and the general land oilice lias issued instructions to the local land office at Portland withdrawing fiom an forms o entry except mineral, the Mult nomah Fails and the lands im medially surrounding them As a re.sult of these instruct ions .1. 1 '...ii...

Tim tor ritory surrounding the falls and which is withdrawn from entry embraces about COO acres along the Columbia'.river. Multnomah Fans are 840 feet in height. Frequent inquiry is being made as to what became of the contract for building the bridge across Willow creek just north of Madras. The oldest residents of the.town have a dim recol lection of having heard that the Willow creek bridge had been armroved bv the county court and ordered built, and the rest of us remember that something like a year ago lumber was hauled to the bridge:site. Since that time, however, nothing has been done towards building the bridge, and recently the lumber 1 . 1 was removed. jjortunaieiy there has been up high water in Willow Creek this winter to render it impassable, but this fact does not excuse the negli gence of the county court in not making an improvement ap proved long ago. It doesn't af fectPrineville in any way, which probabty accounts for the lack of interest displayed by Hizzon- er and the county court. D. W. Harnett and F. M.

Mr. Loveland nnd Frank Forest haVc ordered a large oil drill, which they efcpect in about two months, but in the meantime Mr. L6vc Jand will drill with the machine he now has on hand. The drill which has been ordered is warranted to go down 1J00 feet. The well will be put down in the Haystack neighborhood cither on D. V. Harnett's or Afrfl Cook's place. William Ulair received word yesterday that his dwelling and all contents at Wes ton, in Umatilla 'county, were destroyed by fire one day last week. There was no insurance on the property, and the loss Tails heavily upon Mr. Blair and his fami ly. He is now residing on his homestead near Sage Brush springs, and he expects to bring his wife and five daughters there to reside In the near future.
