j tional rot about the supposed murder t
; of Creed Conn, the prominent stock-
' man found dead last winter. Its "yel
low" reports from that county cast a
stigma on every respectable rltiiten In
the county. The same Injustice was
done by the Orogonlan to the citizens
of Grant county last year In the
range war reports. Outside people
would imagine from the reports of
the Oregonian that Grant county was
settled entirely by murderers nnd
buahwhackors. It is Just such jour
nalism that holds back the settlement
of Oregon. It seems that the people
would learn in time who their friends
are.

that the democrats have nominated

Hves to their country.
As an index to the business magni
tude of Pendleton, It should be re
nembered that one mercantile insti
tution in this city now has three pur
haslng agents In the East, buying
stock for the ensuing year, a record
ot enjoyed by any city in the entire
bland Empire, except Spokane and
Pendleton. The territory tributary
to this city Is new country, and is
constantly increasing in settlement.
The prospects for local business ex
pansion are not so great in any other
district in the West as in the terrl
tor- around this city. This is the
foundation which the immense
ew enterprises are building upon,
and it is one of unquestioned durabll
jr.
It is said that an organization of
iuslnesH men has been formed In
Europe to prevent war by advertising
peace. The plan is certainly novel.
War Is. a nuisance from the commer
cial standpoint, and It Is proposed to
raise a fund for printing and distrib
uting peaco literature. When the
auslc hall crowds feel their pulses
ihrill with martial ardor and the
aewspapers adopt an aggressive tone
and order red Ink, this business men's
organization will hold anti-war meet
ings, flood Europe with anti-war lit
rature, and spend money like wnlor
a necessary, to fight the war spirit
whenever It occurs In England,
Trance or Germany. Thomas Bar
etay, a noted English lawyer In
JTarls, la the promoter and says that
gallon Association meeting at El
Paso, on November 15-18. Oregon Is
entitled to about 70 delegates and If
the 1905 meeting is to come to Port
land, this full quota of delegates
should be sent down to work for that
city. There is a sentiment among all
the states against holding an irriga
tion convention in an exposition city
while the exposition is In progress,
for the reason that the exposition
features detract from the purpose of
thyrrigatlon meeting. For tals very
reason the meeting of 1904 was not
sent to St. Louis, although many
thought that the proper place for the
meeting. The same sentiment will
oppose Portland for 1905, and Oregon
must make a strong stand to get it,
for this sentiment Is unfounded. An
Interested delegate will not neglect
the Irrigation meeting for the expo
sition, and all states that have Irriga
tion prospects will send nothing but
faithful, Interested delegates. Oregon
will be seen at her best next year,
and the visit of this 1000 prominent
Irrigators will introduce the state and
its resources to many of its most use
ful and Influential friends who do not
now understand Its worth. Especial
ly must Umatilla county have a strong
delegation at El Paso, for It is the
showing made at these conventions
that counts with the government. The
government officials are on the
ground, at every national Irrigation
meeting, and feel the pulse ot the peo
ple, through the interest taken at
such meetings. If Mr, Newell finds
