There are two sufficient rea .eons why the voters in this end of the county Bhould give it II. Bayley, the .republican can didate for county commission nr n. mushier mnioritv. The tirsr. is. that anv sulit in the vote in this end of the county will insure the election of La Toilette, the Prineville candi date, and all of Western Crook county must stand together against such a possibility. The discovery of the county Beat conspiracy to railroad a jiew court house contract through was made too late to raise the issue all. through the county upon this question, nut here in Western Crook county the issue should . be closely drawn, and Bayley should get a solid vote, in order that our disapproval of the .new court house may be emphatic. 1a follette is Prineville's candi date and represents the county seat ring. Anything which helps his candidacy, as a split in (he vote 01 Western Crook would, is in effect an endorse- 1 ; inent of those whom he rep resents. . The other reason is, that our good faith., is Jnvolved. Mr Bayley was promised thei loyal BUDPort of this end. of the -1 county should he be nomina ted, just as a similar promise .was demanded from that end of the county, in the event of Fishers nomination. Mr. Jbsay ley won the nomination, and Jthe people in this end of the county cannot afford to go on record as repudiating an obli tration of that kind. That kind ot double dealing would certainly react upon us, and we would hereafter have to light our battles alone. UDon no consideration must .we fail to give the Western Crook candidate, Sayley, our loyal support. Every voter in this precinct should take a jiersonal interest in getting out a big vote for Bayley, in order that we may snow our disapproval of the new court house and the, methods adop ted by the county court, and also that bad . faith may not be charged against us by the south end of Western Crook IF THIS BE TREASON. . If there has ever been, any doubt as to the pjirpose of the county seat nog- in trying to aneak through a. contract for a new court hpuse, the following excerpt from an article pub Jished in l,he Crook County Journal of March 3, 1904, under the heading "Permanency ; ve Death", clearly outlines that purpose: . , , , "It (the county) is . filling up with men whose ideas are not go conservative and who are eager to grasp any straw which will make their position more secure in the business world, and it is only a few months 1 be fore they may seriously affect conditions in this, city.. . "It is time, therefore, to ward off a body blow- and secure to Prineville the county seat for all time to come. To do this the most substantial county buildings must be erected. It yviU not do to patch up , build ings which have already out- grown their usefulness, besides having been tod thoroughly futhigated in the smokehouse. Such a course is only an abknowledgeinetit of unstable condition!), a fact rebogntaed by otlier districts and a. weakness that will be taken advantage of probably sooner than most of us would care to witness." This, from the oflloial ".organ" and spokesman of t)ie county sent ring is ejear (enough. Prineville must feather its nest, against that sad djiy when Crook county shall cease to be run solelj' as a private graft for Prineville, That is why, as soon as Western Crook began to look like a husk' l.id who might raise the old cjuestibn of taxation without representation, there wq.fi a precipitate demand for a $25,000' High School building: that is why, as the Crook County Journal frankly tells you, there .should be a new and substantial court house and other buildings put up. j It is treason, we know, for these new settlers of Western Crook ,to be "eager to grasp 1 I 1 uny straw wnicn win mane their position more secure in the business world", but Wes tern Crook is waking up to the shamelessly selfish attitude of the county seat towards this growing section, and to tne still more shameless methods to which it will resort in order to continue by s teal 1 11 and trickery that which it once had the boldness to do in the open the looting of the county treasury for the adornment and upbuilding of the town of Prineville. WHY WITHYCOMBE WILL WIN. Pour years ago, when Cham berlain was elected governor, the state went republican by a majority of more than 13,000. The election of a democratic governor under such conditions was not claimed by the most ardent supporter of the demo cratic candidate to have been due to any especial excellence in that candidate, but was con ceded by all to be the logical outcome of the factional fight which raged in the republican party and which culminated in the nomination of illiam J. Furnish, of Pendleton, at the Portland convention. In view of these well known A: facts in the political history o that time, it is absurd to sup pose that the election four years ago will have any bearing upon the election to be held next Monday. The existing condi tions are entirely different from those that prevailed four 3'ears ago. There is no lactionai strife in the republican party involving any of the candidates, and in fact all factions are working fpr the. success of the ticket. Dr. James Withy- combe was nominated in the primaries as the standardbearer of the republican party, and the other candidates for the repub lican nomination, Qeer, Johns d Brown, have bowed to the will of the people and are loy ally stumping the, state in the interest 01 the republican nom inee. Dr. Withycombe, is proving himself a. strong candidate be fore the people., He is a digni- led and scholarly gentleman, anct ye one who has always been close to the people. For a number of years he has been at the head of the agricultural department of Oregon's great Agricultural College, at Cor vallisand the growth of that institution is due in a large measure to his efforts. And, the loyalty and affection dis played by students and alumni alike of the Oregon Agricultur al College towards Dr. Withy combe speaks volumes in itself for the man who is seeking election as governor, at next Monday's election.

Af- sk I Anrnnii hml Imnlomonlc Uanhinon snrt H-arhnH MJlm A NEW PEST Sage rats have Lecomo so mt "numerous in certain sections of the cout3', aa to have become a menace to the crops, and aome steps will have to be taken towards ridding tho country of this pest. Thoy destroy the growing grain, eat ing the green stalk, and evi dences of their presence may be , 0 seen along the edpes of thei V grain fields, in the thinned stand of grain, and even in some places by tho total do; struction of the crop. From Hayereek the report comes that great damage has been done ;to the alalfa iields owned by the B. S. & L. Co. by these pests, spots in the alfalfa lie'ds having been, entirely denuded of the alfalfa, "root, stalk and branch." , War- lias been declared pn the age ,rats by farmero tlirougUout tliia region, and an effort vill be made to extermi nate them, as has been done in other i localities. Traps, small calibre rilles and poisoned grain. ai;e all doing their part, bu,t there' is its yet no appre ciable decrease in the numbers of these' little crop-destroying rodents. On the contrary, the numbers seem to have greatly increased in the last year or so. In other localities they have been exterminated by u process of inoculation which is said to have wiped them out entirely. Those, who have had export enca.witlr this pest say that ii is thei bny practical way of exterminating tlierri. 7 f fj 1 7 & Transfer Go. SALU stables - Pros. F.T.
