WHliarii Randolph Hearst
can did a to of the Independent
League for Governor of New
York, and supported by Tarn
many, was defeated by dharles
E. Hughes, tholtepUbliban nom
iriee. at the election held in New
York last Tuesday. The cam
paign preceding the election
was one of the most sensational
of recent years in any state, and
assutiied national importance
owing to the bearing the result
would have upon the choice of
presidential candidates in 1008
Had Mr. Hearst won out in the
New York campaign; he would
undoubtedly have need that
victory as a stepping stone to
the democratic nomination for
president in 1008. On the other
hand; the election of Mr.Hughes
pluces him in the front rank of
'possibilities" foir the Republi
can nomination.
Charles E. Htighes, the newly
electe'd governor of New York,
came into national promiuence
in borihebtitin with the investi
gation of the New York muur
ance companies,and the manner
in wliich he conducted that in
vestigation marked him as a
leader of the people in these
days of "frenzied finance" and
corrlipt combination of capital.
wnen a strong candidate was
souglit this year for the Repub
lican gubernational nomination,
President Roosevelt singled out
Mr. Hughes as the strongest
candidate, and. the influence of
the Presiderit's endorsement
secured him a Unanimous nom
ination. Tlie wildom of the
choice is brdveri in hie victory
over the' combined influence of
Tammany and the Hearst "yel
low jdurnals," by a majority of
30,000. The victory is a won
derful one, when it is remember
ed that the Hearst newspapers
reaoh three million people daily
and that for years they have
been arraying tho masses
against the classes and preach
ing Hearst as the only salvation.
WILL FILE PROTEST
Superintendent ot Warmsprlngs
j-iosiss Irrigation Project;
Op-
ration can in future take water
out of the Deschutes river or
any of its. tributaries above the
Warm Springs for any purpose
whatsoever,
This ia certainly & sferiotts
matter to all land owners in
this vicinity t expect to enter
a ptotest on behalf of the Warm
Springs Indians against this
irrigation plan on tlie ground
that such action will Violate the
the treaty rights of these In
diansi Not only the land b
this reservation was set asidQ
for tlieir use but the treaty spec
ifically states that the boundary
of the reservation eztends to the
middle of tho Deschutes river
The inhabitants of the Des
chutes valley ought to join in a
monster petition to the Secre
tary of the Interior and their
representative in Congress
against the diversion of these
waters for such a purpose
What is the necessity of spend
ing hundreds of thousands o
dollars to transmit this poiver a
hundred miles to pump water
onto the arid lands alone: the
Ccjumbia when right here in
the Deschutes valley are thous
ands of acres of line land that
can be irrigated with this power
withont the added expense o
transmission.

With your kind permission
I will state brieily my views on
the proposed irrigation project
mentioned in your paper a few
weeks ngoi
It appears to be the intention
of the U. S. Reclamation Service
to build d dam on tho Deschutes
river below the mouth of the
Warm Springs river to develop
pofter to pUmp water onto the
arid lands bordering on the
Columbia river.
In pursuance of this plan the
Supervising Engineer ot' the
Reclamation Service has cdused
to be published in Various news
papers ii notice to the effect
that it is the intention of the
United States to utilize all sur
plus and( Unappropriated water
of thq i)esohUtes River below
the moUtU of the "Warm Springs
river, This ineans as I Under
stand it, that if this projeot is

Jean Dubois.who lias a home
1
stead on Agency Plains; is
man of very much "mixed" ha
tionality. His name and ances
try should have made him
French, but when he become
an adopted citizen of the United
States; he renounced his alleg
lance to Emperor William o
Germany, of which nation he
was a subject: The explanation
of his French name and ances
try but German nationality is
plain when it is knowri
that he was a citizen of Alsace
and Lorrainei the two French
provinces which were ceded to
Germany tiy the treaty ofFrank
fort, after the Fradco German
war. t Until he was ten years,he
says, French was the language
taught in the schools, but after
that time German was used, the
text-books being printed in
German, with a French transla
tion. For a born Frenchman to
be acquiring the rudiments of
his education in German was a
trying situation, and Mr.Dubois
says tnat it brought about a
good many unpleasant incidents
in which the Herr Professor
took part. The "lickings" wliich
resuhed, he sayswee delivered
in euner urencn or German
with equal fluency.
HELD UP THE MAIL STAfcfe
The mail stage out of s'lianiko
Sunday evening faijed to rqach
Prinevil'le until 7 oclocli: Mori-
day evening, and all because of
a freight wagon containing the
big pump for the Agency Plains
blooking the way in Cow can
yon. When the driver reached
the spot he found three wagons
deserted in the roiid.iie freigh
ters having taken their teams
elsewhere for feeding.
The driver was furious and
helpless. He couldn't go ahead

FOR NEW MAIL ROUTE
tETlTiONS kk htW BEINfi CIRGULATEi
AkYAg for Btrect SerVid from Shan',
Iko ta Bend iy Way bf Maolras
ftri'd 'OtHer W.stsi'ie Points,
Petitions are being 'circulated
for a direct mall irOiito from
Shaniko to lieridj by way of
Madras, Lamonta andRedmond;
and the Post-ofiice department
wiii be appealed to for this mucll .
needed direct mail service.
Ndt only will the proposed
direct roUtb serve all of the
western portion of Crobk cbun:
ty. much better thaU it is now
being served by the Prineville
route, but the service to Prine
ville and ppints for which that
office will still be the distribute
ing pointy will hot be in any
way impaired. And . for this
reason there shouldn't be any
strong opposition from that
point fo the proposed change;
that is, dny good reason advan
ced why the chdrige shouldn't
be made. Prineville could still
be served by a direct route;
branching off at Heisler, and
the change would not entail any
delay in the railroad mail to
and from the c'ountyoeat'. In
deed; it may be safely argued
that the Prineville riiail; relieved
of thb heavy mails intended for
Westerh Crook county points
and the Sliver Lake country,'
could make better tiiiie from
Heisler on to Prineville, over
the heavy rbads between these
places; than it is able to make
now when it is burdened With ,
a large portion of the Centra!
Oregon malls.
Petitions can be found dt a
number of places in Madras, for
the new service, and the paeons'
of this poStOfiice should be lute
ana sign one of these petitions
whilb they have an opportunity
to do so. Not oriiy will tie
direct foute continue bur pres
ent service via Heisler, but it
will give this office a daily ser
vice, which it reauires and.
shotild certainly have.
