This action cornea as a complement of the old political war whloh has been waged between tha Williamson and the Moody factions for years In and around .Tha Dalles district and throughout east ern Oregon. . It was Moody who In larga part was responsible for the conviction of Congressmaa -WUllamsont accused bv- 'the government of land frauds. It waa Williamson who; before that time, had prevented tha reelection of Moody .to congress and had himself stepped Into the defeated man's shoes.

Register Nolan., with hla . wife . and daughter, were at tha Parkins today and Mr. Nolan talked sparingly of tha trou ble at The Dalles and his resignation.
