Baker City Man Urges Local Action
in Matter.
O. L. Miller, of Baker City, has the
following to say In the BaVer City
Democrat:
"Our oportunity to secure some
benefit from the recent Irrigation law
and our duty in the matter, to mo,
seems very plain. The government
has simply made It possible to avail
ourselves of certain money, the net
product of the sale of government
lands, to be used for redeeming and
lands. There is $911,330,000 of the
money available for use in Oregon.
The government will expend this
money for the redemption of arid
lands in Oregon, If we show Ihe gov
ernment officials where it can be used
in a practical way. The governmert
must be convinced that when the
money is expended that it will actu
ally redeem arid lands and that the
salo of the water rights will return
the money so expended by the gov
ernment, to be again used In the re
demption of other lands.
'If I am right, our duty is to pre
sent a practical, feasible, Irrigation
proposition to the government engi
neers, we must show a tract or ana
land, which has sufficient watershed
about it to furnish water for filling
reservoirs of sufficient capacity to ir
rigate the whole tract In other
words, show a sufficient supply to ir
rigate the lands. If upon investigs
tlon by the government engineers
they find the land suitable and the
proposition practical they will pro
ceed to construct the necessary rese--voir,
ditches and distribution system
so that the settlers thereon can re
deem the land and cultivate It.
"The question then may bo asked,
what will the government engineer
want to find as necessary to Induce
them to recommend the proposition?
"They will certainly want an are
of land large enough to be worth therr
attention. It must be land suitable
for agricultural purposes, that Is,
level enough for Irrigation, free from
rocky bluffs, and alkali. There must
be sufficient water for all purposes,
and suitable reservoir sites where the
water can be stored. There must be
a market for the product so that there
will be an inducement for settlers t
take the land and agree to pay the
water charges.
"Wa mav show the eovcmment en
gineers all the Irrigation propositions
In Baker county and still not be able
to get one of them accepted. We may
not have a proposition large enough
for their consideration. We will sin.
ply have to try and do the very best
we can. Then it will not be no fault
of ours If we fall.
"What will it mean if we succeed
In getting the proposition of 16,000
acres of arid land redeemed by the
proposed planT It will mean the in
vestment of not less than $60,000 o
$76,000 in the construction of tho
works necessary for the storage and
distribution of the water by the gov
ernment It means that at least W
families will settle this land and im
prove It. It means that the settler
must be an actual, bona fide settler
and that not more than 160 acres can
be taken by any one. It means an in
vestment of many thousands of dol
lars in Improvements on the land. It
means the production of many thous
ands of dollars worth of farm products
which will find a market In Bak3r
City in exchange for store goods, 't
means better roads through tho lands
now not occupied. It means school
houses and school teachers and other
evidences of civilization. It means
thousands of dollars added to the tax
able property of Baker county, and
all these and much more will be found
where today roam herds of fuss tailed
cayuses. Jack rabbits and a few hun
gry cattle.
"Then our watch-word for the next
year should be, 'Irrigate the Sag5
Brush Lands.' "
BAKER CITY ELECTION.
Union Men Will Attempt to Elect the
Mayor.
G. Y. Harry, president of the State
Federation of Labor, who spent a cou
ple of days in Pendleton, left yester
day for his home In Portland. While
here ho did much toward reviving en
thusiasm among the local labor
unions.
To a reporter for the Bast Oregon
lan Mr. Harry said:
"When I came to Pendleton I found
Interest somewhat languishing among
the labor unions. A great many unto
ward events has occurred recently to
dampen the ardor of the unionist, but
they are deserving of a great deal
of credit for keeping themselves in
working order as closely as tliey
have, considering what has transpir
ed recently.
"I came to Pendleton last week, and
after stopping and arranging for a
mass meeting for Wednesday night,
went on east. I arrived in Baker
City and held a rousing mass meeting
there and also in Sumpter. At the
conclusion of the meeting In Sumpter
I organized three different unions.
"In Baker City there has been con
siderable dissatisfaction and rivalry
because of the opposition the union
ists have to Mayor Carter They re
cently held a meeting and declared
against his reign and nominated a
new man to succeed him In the chair.
The election Is to be held Id a few
days and the laborers feel confident
of electing their man, W. J. Lachner
who Is a conscientious man and in
unity with the uniors of tho town.
"I have now become quite well ac
quainted with the labor situation in
Eastern Oregon and I can say that
the growth of the union movement
has been phenomlnal. Everywhere 1
go I find unusual Interest and the
time Is not far off when the laboring
man's demands will have to be
heard."
BOERS ARE DISAPPOINTED.
General Botha Holds the Attempt to
RAjse Funds a Failure.
New York, Nov. 1. General llotha,
of the Boer commission now In Eur
ope trying to raise funds for the re
demption of the ruined farming In
terests of South Africa, has cabled
to the World nt length on the results
of the general mission up to date.
The nrticle says In part:
"Our words have been misconstrued
our actions have been afslgned tho
wrong motives, and our very Alms
have been misstated and condemned.
The British people have no reason to
doubt our sincerity. Wo called on
our people to come In and lay down
their arras. How many million pounds
wore saved to tho British natlou by
that surrender It is needless to now
reckon up. Having accepted the
terms Iord Kitchener was nuthoriz
ed to offer us.wc never sought to have
them modified. What wo sought for
was not a modification of the terms
of the poace treaty, but tho immedi
ate help of which our pcoplo nro in
need.
"Having to plead a causo which
should speak eloquently enough for
Itself, we are sorely disappointed nt
tho result At least, wo have bad
every reason to consider that wo have
failed In our errand. It Is assumed
that wo did not take r.indly to a loan.
That supposition was gratuitous. As
to the shape in which material help
should be given, wo had neither the
right nor tho will to pick and choose.
But, having seen no prospect of re
ceiving such help, wo appealed in ur
gent need to all the nations of tho
world.
"That course had been sharply crit
icised. So far as wo can sec, all our
appeals to foreigners Implied wns
that our people wero In sore need of
Instant relief, and that we were wil
ling to undergo tho humiliation for
pleading It
"Memories of help withheld, despite
pressing need and urgent appeal for
justice or generosity, are certain to
live long, die hard and Inflict dam
ago out of all proportion to their
seeming Importance."

WE8TON A CLOSED TOWN.
The Law Is Now 8trletly Enforced In
That Place.
Tho Sunday closing crusade at
Weston has resulted in the closing ol
all buslneps establishments, except
those exempted by the state law.
Tho movement first related only to
tho "saloons, and a card resort and
candy and tobacco stand. Two of tho
three saloon men, ana tho tobacco
store proprietor, have since kept open
for two successive Sundays and paid
their fines. As tho result of agita
tion, unwise or otherwise, all busi
ness not exempt Is now embraced.
Sole action In tho matter has been
taken by Mayor Best, Independently
of the city council, and he has as
sumed responsibility for it.
As gambling was suppressed some
time ago by Mayor Best's direction,
Weston Is now quite a moral town,
and patrons of the State Normal can
have no complaint on this score, it
Is understood that If the saloon men
rebel too strenuously, the mayor
threatens prosecution under the statu
law on a charge of selling liquor to
minors. Weston Leader.
