Local Option Campaign Being

Odell System of Furnishing
Base Was Quickly Dis
pensed With.
C A, Sweek of Burn. Harney coun
tjv adds a little mora to tha light be
ing thrown- upon th transactions of
the? state land of flea prior to the time
governorship. In discussing th mat
ter Mr. Sweek aaya:
"About the year 1998 there was an
attempt msde by Brother Odell and his
gang to obtain a large amount of lieu
land base. They obtained a descrip
tion and location of aU of the unsold
school land in sections IB ana s in
Harney and Malheur counties. And all
they found on the bunch grass hi 11a and
covered with rock and worthless they
claimed to be mineral, and mad appli
cation In the name of the state, for
other land in lieu of it, claimlifg the
rocky bunch grass school land to be
mineral. As soon as tha selections were
made Brother Odell proceeded to sell
th land. When an application was
made to tha atate land board the appli-
cation was referred to Brother Odell,
'who charged from 60 cents an acre up
for furnishing the base.
"Aa soon aa the state's application
reached the general land office. Its ap
plication to select lands in lieu of Har
ney's bunch grass hills was turned
down, on the ground that the show
ing made, as to the mineral character
of the original tracts was not sufficient,
and tha atate waa called upon to furnish
proof of the mineral character of the
land, or furnish new base; neither of
which waa done and th state's appli
cation waa canceled.
"The promoters did not dare to make
th required affidavit and, at that
time, tha atate did not have tha neces
aary base. ' Tha state finally paid back
th money it received on such sales;
but' Brother Odell, well, he did not pay
oaca me amount paia to mm tor lur
nishlng the base, and I preauma . ha
sent the money received by him to ed
ucate th heathen. Within a year after
Chamberlain was elected governor we
had no trouble in obtaining from the
state land agent any and all Information
desired in regard to the state lands, and
without paying 60 cents an acre or
more to a grafter, who had a desk
room in tha atate'a ofifce.
"I have had more or leas buslneaa
with the atate land board and know
whereof I apeak." ,

The local ontlon cam rial sm on tha east
aide la being vigorously carried on. The
saioon question is to b voted on in
ii east side precincts or tbia city and in
precincts or St. Johns. Borne weeks
ago a movement for an "all east side"
campaign against the saloon was started
by the temperance forcee of the city
and the saloon men attempted to defeat
mis movement ny tnemseivea caning a
local option vote In th 17 precincts In
which the liquor business -waa most
strongly intrenched, feeling certain tha
tney wouia win tne election. Tne tem
perance force already had . a well or
ganised committee mad up of represen
tees frora nearly all of the churches of
the entire city and this committee de
cided about 10 dava aaro to accent the
challenge of these saloonmen who called
this election; pd glv them th "sur-
prise.osferheit lives?' .-.vv
A nous to house canvass has been
made and a careful record kept which
shows a remarkably atrong sentiment
against th saloons. The object of this
canvass was twofold, to discover aa
far aa practicable the sentiment of the
voters and to definitely locate people
who were not registered so a a to pre
vent any attempts at colonlsina; men to
be sworn in at the polls. Th Informa
tion now In th hands of th committee
la -jenr complete an,i wm prevent a
recurrence of th disgraceful Incidents
at Sellwood two years asro. At the sev
eral polling places a representative of
the committee will take n accurate de
scription ot each man who attempts to
swear In his vote and a list of th free
holders who may certify tfl hi resi
dence and acquaintance and these will
be investigated by the district attorney
and inasmucb aa tha district attorney
has already declared himself against Il
legal voting it will -not be wis for any
one to attempt auch voting in any of
these precinct. Camera will be avail
able If necessary and every means used
to secure an honest vote.
A watch will also be set while th
votes are being counted and any at
tempt to vitiate ballot or tamper with
the count will be summarily stooped.
Much hard and effective work ha al
ready been don and th committee
will keep right at It until the vote Is In
and counted and it confidently hope
that the good people of th east side
will do their whole duty creditably and
with courag on election day. Th sa-'
loonmen and their friends will be out in
force and let every other man be out
and do his duty to himself, hi family
and his neighbors,
Another equally important question
to be voted upon will be tha Reddy
amendment. This measure had its or-'
iginwtth the liquor men and portlng
element of Portland and not Med ford.
It Is deceiving in its title. Iniquitous In
lta purpose and originating where it did
should be overwhelmingly defeated by
the good people of Oregon,
