usual excepting that water will not

river Into the reservoir.
A section of the Umatilla Irrigation
project's main feed canal , about 75
feet In length, washed out a mile west
of Echo Sunday morning and the
water Is now shut off from the res
ervoir although the reservoir Is now
over half full and the break will in no
way Interfere with the program of
turning water from the reservoir onto
the land of the project next Wednes
day as planned by the government.
The break In the canal bank was
caused by seepage through the porous
soil and for several months the gov
ernment had been planning on ce
menting the canal at that point for
perhaps a mile or more. The canal
at that place runs close to the O. R.
& X. railroad track and the seepage
has also softened the track and caus
ed the railroad company much trou
ble. ' FBJ
The break occurred close to the ce
ment waste gate and while It did not
wash away any of the railroad grade,
it weakened the rack and trains now
run very slowly over the place.
The government engineers have de
termined to cement a section of the
canal at that place and work will be
gin at once on the repairs. It is esti
mated that It will cost about $21,000
to cement a section long enough to
prevent danger to the tracks and a
force of men will begin on it at once.
The water will be shut off from the
reservoir into the distributing canals
on Wednesday and the supply la the
reservoir will be used In irrigating the
crops under the ditches.

A famous London barrister was upon
one occasion called upon to defend a
cook tried for murder, being accused of
having poisoned his master. The bar
rister after a most able and brilliant
defense of the cnlprlt secured an ac
quittal. The cook, anxious to show his
gratitude, said, "Tell me, sir, whatever
can I do for you to reward you?" The
triumphant counsel answered, "My
good man, do anything you can, but
for God's sake don't ever cook for me!"

It wants us to believe that it Is ne
cessary for prosperity, but admits that
Pendleton with the saloon has run a
bonded lndebtness of $300,000 and
still going up, while every place with
out the saloon, and without the sa
loon only a very few years, is cutting
down its bonded indebtedness. Pen
dleton with the saloon Is having 900
per cent more bankrupt 'sales and
closing out sales than any place with
out the saloon.
Judge Hailey, while prosecuting at
torney, declared that 85 per cent of
crimes were-caused by the saloon, and
the farmers pay this in taxes, but get
nothing but drunken harvest hands
In return which are not worth half
their pay.
Mr. Phelps has been heard to say
that 90 per cent of crime here Is
caused by the saloon. They talk
about th.e well regulated saloons. The
saloons of Pendleton have robbed
more men, allowed more gambling.
caused more log rolling and harbored
more criminals than any other sa
loons In the state outside of Portland.
They are dealing Id wholesale lying
right now.
They declare through their 'central
committee," whosoever that may be,
that Oklahoma has gone wet when
such a thing Is impossible. A little
town called "Oklahoma" away back
on the Columbia river having a few
people, put in a saloon, but 'the state
of Oklahoma has constitutional pro
hibition which cannot allow any li
quor sold or made In any way for 21
years. That constitution was adopt
ed last year. Figures don't He unless
you make them lie, but that Is just
what is being done and any man who
reasons at all can see that.
Twenty-one good families are now
counted by workers on the temper
ance side who have recently passed
by Pendleton because she is wet and
her main 'street disgraced by more
bad saloons than any other city of
Its size in the United States. Butte,
Montana, and Astoria are up with her
but no good family would live in eith
er place. Pendleton with 26 saloons,
and she has had them right along, has
91 empty houses and some of these
business houses.
What would she have with 100 sa
loons. Why should the saloon Imitate
the central committee on the prohi
bition side? That central committee
has been issuing facts and figures for
weeks in one of the newspapers, why
should the saloon Imitate it and sign
itself the same thing In another pa
per?
Why. should It get panicky when
few envelopes are sent out donated to
the "Central Committee" by a citi
zen?
Pendleton has lost far more already
by having the saloon while so many
good towns In the state have It not,
as to more than make up for every
thing lost by the saloon going to come
buck no more forever.
The saloon declares that the tem
perance wave Is subsiding right In
the face of both parties in Washing
ton coming out for it when one. was
offered nearly $1,000,000 by the saloon
to come out otherwise, when places
like Moscow and the state of Wiscon
sin vote thre times as muny in favor
of prohibition than one year ago, and
everything in all the land indicates
a sweeping victory for temperance.
It wants to waste for that which is
worse than nothing, which creates
crime, poverty, .debauchery and hard
times, 1300,00 a year right here, which
money ought to go Into channels of
healthy trade, and then booster funds
could be. raised among the business
men like the one raised In Eugene.
It wants to bunch up the business
men, thus causing a war between them
and the farmers and diverting trade
to Chicago and Walla Walla. It
wants to force this quetslon into pol
itics by leading monled men politically
and break Into the peaceful conditions
which now exist while this thin is
kept out of politics.
It wants to bring men here and has
registered a lot of them already who
have no more right to vote than a
man direct from China, thus bringing
on the possibility of mcrre cases for
he farmers to pay the taxes for. It
expects to vpte 100 illegal voters In
the various precincts in the county,
Including Pendleton, Echo, and Uma
tilla. It will be mistaken. It expects
the people to be forever overridden by
by Its domineering and wholesale ly
ing spirit. 4
It expects honest citizens Just to lay
down and be ridden over by an cle
ment which preys upon its prosperity
and causes about all the trouble com
mercially, politically and In crime and
pauperism. So true Is all this that
not a decent paper in the county will
take up its tight and not a decent pa
per in the state but is coming to the
other side, both political parties and
all well wishers are lining up for so
briety, decency and prosperity.

Pendleton, 8; Walla Walla 6.
This Is the way the Inland Empire
league season was opened In Pendle
ton and It was satisfactory to the
crowd which was the largest one that
that wltnesed a game this year.
In the first Inning yesterday two
runs were scored by Pendleton, Parkes
and Conrad being brought home by a
long drive which Tracey Baker sent
over center field. In the second in
ning two more scores were added to
the list when Munson and King came
home.
Meanwhile Walla Walla was shut
out completely until the fourth, but
In that Inning the visitors rolled up
three scores and in the fourth they
brought home another, thus tying the
game.
In the seventh King went home on
a fluke, the Walla Walla pitcher
throwing the ball to third when the
base fas vacant. In the eighth Wal
la made their fifth score, tying the
game again.- But while Pendleton wa
at the bat In the eighth the fireworks
ensued and the runs made were
three. Walla Walla could not change
the situation while they were at the
bat In the ninth and the game closed
eight to five.

CURRY DRY, YET VERY WET.
Peculiar Conditions In the Southwcrt
cm County.
Wedderburn, Ore., May 22. Cur
ry county has been In the hands of the
prohibitionists for the past two years
and demijohns have been the order
of the day and night. Whisky Is be
ing shipped on almost every stage
from both north and south and Is very
easy to get. Those desiring saloons
have again petitioned for an election
and notices are now up calling for a
resubmission of the question at the
election in June.
To be sure the friends of prohibi
tion are many, and It Is a question
with all the evidences against the ef
fectiveness of prohibitory laws as they
exist If the "wets" can muster the
strength to return to the saloon. The
prime mover In this action is Gold
Beach, the county seat. The law as
it stands affects the whole country,
that is, it Is a county law, all pre
cincts having decided to eschew the
saloon.
There Is little doubt that Gold
Beach precinct will go wet. Wedder
burn precinct will go dry. It Is ex
pected that Port Orford will also vote
against the saloon.
It Is a very peculiar situation. The
man who wants plenty of whisky and
finds It easy to get, votes prohibition.
The total abstainer votes for prohibi
tion, for the reason that if he Is
known to be a prohl he sees tittle of
the demijohn and thinks the law pro
hibits, excepting occasionally when
the boys get beyond control at a
dance. But the man who knows and
understands and wants the sale of li
quor properly controlled, he Is the one
who will vote for the licensed saloon.
