MR. HILL'S BLUNDER.
Louis W. Hill, son of James J. Hill
and the head of the Great Northern
railroad, is Quoted as having spoken
very disparagingly of the reclamation
service while at Klamath Falls. He
said he had never noticed the recla
tion men doing anything aslde( from
raising and lowering the flag at the
project offices, or words to that ef
fect. Now why this needless and unjust
slur? Why should such a slur be cast
by Louis W. Hill who is supposed to
be working for the colonization of
eastern Oregon?
Knowing at close hand of the work
upon the Umatilla project the East
Oregonlan Is at loss to account for
the animosity felt by Mr. Hill. Had
Mr. Hill been here a few years ago
he would have witnessed something
besides flag raising. He would have
seen a band of government engineers
with their faces tanned by the wind
ana heat of the west end .desert. He
would have found those men of high
calibre personally and working very
earnestly at the task they had to do.
Had he ever viewed the Umatilla pro
ject he would know that those engl
nter built some of the best Irrigat
ing canals there are In the state or
In the west. They are much better
t!:an private Irrigation ditches. They
built a reservoir that holds all the
water the project needs and more.
It is a reservoir that will never break.
Perhaps Mr. Hill knows of blun
ders made by the reclamation service.
5 Doubtless some blunders were made.
The engineers had a big undertaking
and little to. guide by In their work.
But then mistakes are made In other
lines also. The manner In which some
of the western railroads zigzag around
curves la a Joke among modern engi
neers. The passenger service, on the
Great" Northern, Is a tiresome Joke
among traveling men. The train
wrecks that occured almost every
other day during the. past winter on
the Great Northern and the North
ern Pacific and In which dozens of
people were killed also became tire
some. Those wrecks were caused by
Inefficiency somewhere. Why does not
Mr. Hill turn his critical eye upon
the affairs of his own company?
Does Louis Hill believe that the
people of eastern Oregon sustain him
In his criticism of the reclamation
service? Does he think the people
of eastern Oregon want to drive "the
reclamation service out of this state?
If so he has made a mistake. The
people of this section of the state at
least, appreciate the work of the gov
ernment. Because of that work a 22,-
000 acre tract that might have lain
dormant for a century is being water
ed and peopled. The only request the
people here make of the reclamation
service is that they continue with
their work by extending the Umatilla
project to cover lands west of the
Umatilla river.
THE XOBIMTY OF LABOR.
A story Is told of an Englishman
who was boasting to an American girl
that England possesses a- leisure class
whereas America does not, and that
England, therefore, is the superior
country. The girl retorted that we
have a leisure class, but do not call
them aristocrats. "What do you call
them?" asked the Briton. The Yan
kee answered: "Hoboes!"
"The story shows the difference be
tween the old world and new world
iaeas as to the nobility of labor' says
the Spokesman-Review. "The aristo
crats of Europe are. the leisure class
es that toil hot, neither do they spin,
consuming but not producing.' The
aristocrats of the United States are
the men and women who work with
hand and brain; the men who toss
mountains out of their way, fling
roads across mile-wide rivers and mile
deep canyons, or make the thirsting,
barren plain alive with waters of life;
the women who head our schools and
sweeten social life with mothering
service to its needs." "
"Labor is the American patent of
nobility. The shirt sleeves rolled up
show that the wearer belongs to the
true aristocracy of the United States.
For tne molern worker, as for the me
diaeval monk whose noble Industry re
founded Europe, to labor Is to pray.
The gospel of work is the glad tid
ings of America. Industry and serv
ice are its messages." ,
"It is not a bad gospel. When Na
poleon the Great affirmed that the
French revolution meant an open
career for talent and that every pri
vate In -the French army carried a
marshal's baton in his knapsack, he
implied that labor is the modern pass
port to success -and power."
Only a fool, would boast that he
leads a life of leisure or that his na
tion supports a leisure class. Men
3row by the work they have to do.
So do nations. Any nation with a
large leisure class Is upon the sure
road to degeneracy.
According to John S. "Vinson he
dues not favor county division at all,
yet being a resident of Freewater
would favor "Hudson" county in pre
ference to "Orchanj," because Free
water would be the- county seat of
"Hudson" county. At this time It
might also be mentioned that Free
water has one great advantage over
Milton as a prospective cvtinty seat.
Freewater is situated upon a railroad.
Milton Is located so far from the de
pot that It can scarcely claim such
a distinction.
Commencement week Is here and
It will be "one continual round of
pleasure" during the coming week.
But It is a season of the year that
never loses its interests. It is naturally
a time of absorbing Interest to the
graduates and there are few old grads,
of the local school or otherwise, that
do not recall pleasant memories as
they listen to baccalaureate sermons
and commencement oraMons.
If reports are true they are mak
ing a great fuss over Roosevelt. In
England. But wait until he lands in
Gotham.
Weston has a team of real ball
players but yesterday was not their
day to shine.
Twenty-two passenger trains each
lay. How Is that for a railroad
point?
The trout suffered yesterday.
AS AT1IKXA SEES IT.
(Athena Press.)
Athena and Weston are safe In the
division lines which are now proposed.
The Milton-Freewater divlsionlsts are
allotted territory in which dlvislon
sts reside and who are willing and
anxious to Incur the burdens of a new
county government, taxes and all.
They will have their 400 square miles
of territory and 1200 population, as
Is required by the farclal County di
vision law. Adams, Athena, Weston
and Helix, towns and tributary terri
tory, .are given the right to be heard
in their Just contentions that they de
sire to remain in, and be a part of
Umatilla county. So, after all, both
sides of the question seem to be In a
fair way of being presented and Mil
tnn is not to have undisputed sway in
dragging towns and communities into
her proposed county against their
will. and wishes. Milton forced the
fight, it Is on. and now let us see to
it that when Umatilla county Is di
vided by the state at large by cow
boys, loggers, railroad construction
crews and the like who bave a vote
on the proposition but no Interest in
the matter, that Athena and Weston
territory will not be taxed to create
"Orchard" county.
It may be right to fast, but It Is
wrong to look as if you did.

EQUITABLE COUXTY DIVISION.

been proposed which will give the
Milton-Freewater district a county
