The Ulster men defeated home
rule in 1886, and- 1893,; and "many
of them will do their best to defeat
it next year. But in the province of
Uloter there are nine 'counties
three . n which j the Catholics' have

The citadel t)f anti-home , rule is

more wealth produced by u city of
all, that function Is to protect the
interests of the settlers. If that Is
not their duty, there is no exense
for. their existence so far as Carey
act reclamation is concerned.
Too many of the Carey act pro
jects m Oregon are on a shoestring
basis. It la a serious thing to draw
men by advertising to an Irrigation
project on a promise that water will
be supplied, and then, - after they
wan tor montne or even years, no
water comes. It Is a dreary outlook
for a man after struggling with his
family to' build a home in a desert.
depending on the arrival of water, to
get no water.
It is of the utmost conseaaence
that every promise made on. the ir
rigation projecta shall be kept. The
federal government gave each state
1,000,000 acres of land for Carey
projects, and the state is in honor'
bound to see that every ". develop
ment company fulfills every contract
to the letter. :. ,
There is something more than the
mere relations of settler and promot
er involved. The larger Question
of the inocess of irrigation In Oregon
Is at stake, and it Is a, matter of
state-wide , consequence. . that ? the
reclamation projecta lUall all beauo
cessful. Upon the. good faith with
whlph the,- prtjects are carried out
