EXPOSES ALLEGED : SCHEME TO BOOST CANDIDATE LEA What Writer Calls Falsehoods Pointed Out; Who Is Behind Aspirant for Dairy and Food Commissioner? - Banks, Or., March 28. To the Editor of. The Journal In, the Pacific Home stead of March 14, a farm paper printed at Salem, appears an article Intended to boost the candidacy of A. B. Lea for the nomination for dairy and food com missioner. The article contains many misleading statements as well as out right falsehoods. The Homestead gives credit to, the Salem Statesman, for the article. Both the Homestead and the Statesman being published by the same people I Bupposethe Statesman in turn Rave the Homestead credit for It, This Is surely a novel way 'of shifting the responsibility, and the character of the article is such that It needs shifting. "He (A. H. Lea) has been Indorsed by granges all over, the state, by the con sumers' leagues and by the Portland - Ministerial association,' says the Home-stead-Statesman'; Now since the granges do ' not Indorse political candidates at all, that much Ink has been wasted. . Beport Was raise. What consumers' league Indorsed Lea? The Portland Consumers' league has not and never will,. Possibly it was the consumers' league of Salem or Eola of- Lincoln. The Portland General Ministerial association did not Indorse Lea or any other candidate. It Is true that a newspaper report a few days ago stated that Mr. Lea and others had been indorsed by the Ministerial assoei n atjoa.but It was a false report How ever, we will not charge this last named error to the Homestead-Statesman com bination for they have made enough er rors without it ,Mr. Lea must look to other organizations than the ones named in the article for indorsements. But In the -mean-time the manager of the Homestead, whose hand Is plainly visible - In - every -paragraph- of - the- article In question, Is willing to run all sorts of chances of errors rather than miss an opportunity to boost for his friend. Who , Are His rriendst ;''.;V';; - The article also states that Mr. Lea's friends have been so Insistent upon Lea becoming a candidate that he finally-had to accede to their wishes.,: Now who are these - friends? The Homestead Statesman would like to have us believe that they aire as numerous as the stars of heaven. The fact of the matter is that in January 1911, while the grand Jury and the legislature were both in vestigating the affairs of J. W. Bailey, the present dairy and-- food commls- SAVED FROM AH OPERATION How Mrs. Reed of Peoria, III., Escaped The Sur V- .- , . Vanria.

Y, i - - re,'.'-' "LI. 1 N 1 iMtofMftAjiiu sloner, and it became apparent to Mr. Bailey that he could not not he reelect ed, the scheme waa hatched to elect Lea in bis stead. I suppose this they will construe into a sort of Damon and Pythias affair one wilting- to die for the other. The friends referred to then' in the Homestead-Statesman article ot March 14 are J. W. Bailey. EL T. Judd. his chief deputy, and the writer of the Homestead-Statesman article. . Plans Arc Hatched. In the assembly chamber of the dairy and food commissioner's office this asi sembly sang, consisting of Lea and the above named friends, at that time laid their plana for the present campaign. If the voters want the present administra tion In the dairy and food department of the state to continue why. not reelect J. W. Bailey T I believe he la more hon orable than Mr. Lea. Besides It is un just to ask Mr. Lea to divide his time between the management of his cream ery and duties of the office of dairy and food commissioner for the measly sum of $2000 a year, ; - - The Homestead-Statesman scribe al so says: - The Portland creamery com bine is massing its forces to fight him to the last ditch." Possibly he got the language from some military code. Tea, the Portland creamery combine and Lea are fighting Just like two lovers arm in arm slowly loitering down the shady lane. Call that fighting? If the writer of that article had accused this cream ery combine of Indorsing' Mr. Lea In stead of fighting him ha could have made a reputation for truthfulness. But his chances are spoiled nowP Mr. Lea has- always been identified with the large centralized plants and quite likely always will be. Misbranding Batter. " : , The writer for the Homestead-Statesman promises for Lea that he will if elected put a stop to the misbranding of butter. If so why does not Mr. Lea discontinue it now, at least while, the campaign is on? Only two weeks ago the owner of a small creamery up the valley complained that Mr. Lea is sell ing his (the small creamery man's) butter as his (Lea's) own. Yet this is one of the, "outside" creamery men who the Homestead-Statesman writer says are "flocking to his standard by the thousands." The language used by this creamery man In denouncing Lea would not sound well In the "flock." "There is a Jaw" now on the statute books which forbids this, passed at the last session of the legislature," says the misinformed scribe, the words having reference to selling eastern butter as Oregori butter. This law has been on the statute books since 1907. Mr. Lea having always been an Intimate friend and councellor of Ml Bailey's-why did be not Influence Mr. Bailey to enforce this law?-' What reputation ha oould have made for himself. Then surely would the voters flock to his standard by the thousands as the scribe says. Commendable Paragraph. The last paragraph of the Homestead Statesman article is a real commendable production. It is a very unfortunate and regre table incident to have this paragraph hopelessly spoiled by having it come trailing after such a Jumble of misleading statements. The final para graph is as follows: "This lcr a fight In which every person in Oregon who buys food is interested,, and the voters should study this question carefully, and be prepared to vote intelligently as It is one of the most Important matters which will come before them at this election. It Is the old fight of the pluto cratic interests for profit at the expense of the health and pocketbooks of the masses." This paragraph, with Lea playing to w the plutocratic interests would , have been timely if placed by Itself and not robbed of Jtajreal jmerlts by that which precedes it M. S. SHROCK.

Hi LANDS MAY 101 OPEN BE TO SETTLEMENT Government Representative Goes to Burns to Begin Task of Disposing of Reservation Held by Piutes. ' (Special to Tttt Journal Burns, Or., March 28. H, G. 'Wilson, ot the Indian service, located at Rose burg, is expected to arrive In Burns early in April to take up the work ot disposing of the lands of the Piute In dlana. For many years the people have been anxious to have the lands thrown open to entry. The Pluto Indians control 18,841.96 acres of land, located In Harney valley, about four miles south and east of Burns, In a tract except about nine fil ings of a little mora than 1000 acres part of which is close to Barns. This land comprises some of the choicest In Central Oregon, and all of It is desirable,-.; ';',- - . This tribe of Indians bava been ot a very warlike disposition . but they were always friendly to the whites, until about the time of the Civil war Their fighting haying been with other Indian tribes. Their trouble with the whites began when two of their num ber were shot and killed without pro vocation by white miners. Subdued by General Crook. They were never subdued until 1867 when General Crook came and pacified them. As a result of the difficulties with the government they were placed upon what was known as the Malheur reservation! They-got along hera-very well, until : they were forced against their wishes by a band of Bannock In dians, about 1000 strong, into an up rising. At this time tbey were about 700 In number. They, were in a dilemma. To refuse to go with Uhe Bannocks meant . trouble with them; to go with them meant, trouble with, the government They chose the former and were put by Uncle Sam on the Taktma reservation.

If at 1 the end Of, the 25 yearl the land, has been cultivated and ; Improved patents were to be issued. The allotments were made in severalties, thus according to- laws governing the Indians the allottees were cut oft from any further assist ance, except school privileges. The pro cedure was unusual since the govern ment policy is and has been to allow only 40 acres to minors, 80 to young unmarried tribesmen, and 160 acres to heads of families. : - - ; Indians Are Indolent. - Slnca'the allotments were made the allottees have done nothing toward Im proving or cultivating their holdings, with two exceptions Capt Peter Tie man and the Canady brothers.
