Mr. Toung lives In the vfcin ty ot
Burns and explained that In placing the
grievance before the congress be voices
the sentiment Jf the settlers on Silv es
river and the residents and business in
terests of-Burns. He explained that he
had never In his life made a speech be
fore, but that he felt it his duty to ap
neal to the congress for tna aid of its
Influence in -giving to the settlers on
Silvies river a chance to live.
Blame for the conditions existing in
: bis part of the country he placed upon
the Pacific Livestock company, a 40.

in no way aids the commercial upouuu

tw h nii alone Bilvtes river Is ex

high state of productiveness, the yield

"I raised oats last year that aW-raged

which' company contributes nothing but
its taxes, buying everything in San
Francisco. This company is trying to
get control pf all the water of the river
which the farmers need for irrigation,
and . It , has met with success so far,
mainly because the settlers are not
financially, abla to fight through the
courts, v ' - . '. ' .. " " '
"The company tore down the houses

Pasturing and getting patent. This land

ever before. ', . -
' Settlers Driven Oat. '
' "In 1900 the company' instituted pro
erodings against water users along the
river and secured a favorable decree.
This has not satisfied the company'
trroed, but it has instituted contempt
iwoceedings, alleging the obstruction of
the flow of Water in such manner that
it does not' reach Us island Ranch
property, situated 26 miles down the
river from the first dam. These cases

four settlers and they were given the
alternative of selllngout or of fighting
m the court, and the result was that
the company acquired an additional 1000

to dig canals that deprived other set
tlers of their Water supply.
"The greed of the corporation reaches
out in every direction. The company
luts" for its superintendent a man suited.
for the Job. .He has a loud, strong, so
norous voice, holds bis head very high,
and when be walks up to the ordinary
sattler and says: 'Here, you are using
water that don't belong to you,' why, it
makes jfou, want to dry right up and
Wow away. We don't know what mo

"This question means our bread and

Judge . Hamilton Explains Ill

(Special to The Journal.)
Roseburg, Or.. Feb. 21. A verdict of
guilty was returned this morning by
the Jury in the case of Jesse O. Drake,
charged wtth libel, by Judge Hamilton.
The Jury was out an hour and a half.
Roseburg, Or, Feb. 21. Taking of tes
timony In the Drake libel trial was con
cluded late yesterday afternoon and the
Jury retired this morning.
The defendant Jesse O. Drake, did not
go on the witness stand, but his attor
neys introduced testimony from si wit
nesses in an effort to show that Judge
Hamilton was not confined to his home by
illness at the time of the McClallen
trial. No attempt w'as made to prove
Drake's "candid opinion" that Judge
Hamilton collaborated with the attor
neys for the defense in preparing the in
structions by Judge Cooke to the Jury
in the McClallen trial. The witnesses
for the defense made a weak showing.
None of thera could swear positively as
to the exact time in May, if it was in
that month when they saw Judge Hamil
ton away from home, and the rebuttal
testimony Introduced by tbe state tore
away what structure the defense had
built up.
Judge Hamilton while on the witness
stand related the details of his period
of sickness and stated that during con
valescence he did not go out of doors
except to sit in the sunshine. He said
he left hU home for the first time two
days after the McClallen trial was over.
He emphatically denied that he assisted
McClallen's attorneys in framing the In
structions for Judge Coke, and said that
he did not converse with the attorneys
regarding the case; that he was in no
way connected with it
VI Intended to preside at the trial the
same aa X have'held courts for the past
14 years,". testified Judge Hamilton. "I
had no thought of anything else up to
the time I was taken ill. This man
(Drake) has uttered absolute falsehoods
about me; that U why I hadshlm brought
Into court" . ' t
It was stated" by several witnesses
that Drake wrote "the article in ques
tion. Two witnesses testified that Drake
volunteered that he wrote the letter and
declared he oouia prove every word of

Attorney Smith for the defense raised
the question ot venue and moved for an
