Here is the draft of the resolution
adopted by the Pendleton commer
cial association in protest against the
action of the government in falling
to extend the Umatilla irrigation pro
ject The resolution was written by
Dr. C. J. Smith, chairman of the Ir
rigation committee, and copies of the
same are being sent forth today:
Whereas, the newspaper reports In
the past few days Indicate that under
the apportionment of the $20,000,000
fund raised by Act of Congress to
continue irrigation projects already
commenced that Oregon had fared
badly and Apparently unjustly in this
apportionment, receiving only $325,000
for the continuance of the Umatilla
project and $600,000 for the continu
ance of the Klamath project; and
Whereas, the Investors in public
lands in the state of Oregon in the
past few years iave contributed to
the reclamation fund more than $9
000.000; and
Whereas, Oregon has only received
a small percentage of her share of
this fund; and
Whereas, the proposed extension of
the Umatilla project at a cosq not to
exceed $3,000,000 and to reclaim fif
ty or sixty thousand acres of the fin
est land in the state of Oregon, lay
ing three hundred to five hundred
feet above the' sea level and in the
Columbia River Valley, easy to trans
portation and within five or six hours
ride of the city of Portland, the me
tropolis of the state and the chief
market of the Pacific northyest; and
market of the Pacific northwest; and
uting so much as Oregon, have re
ceived much larger sums, for example
the state of Montana, approximately
JS, 000, 000; Idaho, $7,000,000 and
Texas nearly $7,000,000 and the state
of Washington already having receiv
ed more than her share received $2,
000,000; 'we believe that some mis
understanding or mistake on the part
of the federal authorities has been
made.
Therefore, be It resolved and we
most earnestly request President Taft
and Secretary Balllnger to see that
Oregon gets justice and take up the
task of the redivislon of this fund
and be dt further resolved, that cop
ies of this resolution be sent to Pres
ident Taft, Secretary Balllnger and
each member of. the Oregon congres
sional delegation.

Pendleton, Ore., Jan. 6.
To the Editor:
My attention Is called to a local
news Item appearing in your Issue of
yesterday touching the contest for
district attorney to fill the vacancy
resulting In the recent promotion of
that official to the circuit Judgeship,
and n justice to Messrs. Wilson and
Ferguson I desire to say that the ar
ticle Is entirely misleading. Neither of
those gentlemen have been aligned
either with the Lowell faction or the
Furnish faction, and it is not Just to
place them as republicans In the light
of any ancient feud. Whoever at
tempts It either does not know the Bit
uatton or is endeavoring to cover the
real reasons which are actuating the
appointments made and to be made,
as they ait known to men accustomed
to the political game. If the old fac
tional division In this county was to
receive consideration by the appoint
ing power, and avoided as. your ar
ticle would Indicate, It would seem in
congruous that the same argument
should not have applied In the Judge
ship. Mr. Phelps has always been re
garded as a political friend and sup
porter of Mr. Furnish, while Mr. Win
ter Is my partner in business and my
personal friend, yet Mr. Phelp re
ceives the honor, and two young men
who know nothing and care less for

Robert Morrison of Adams, tied for
third place. Fourteen games were
played, each contestant playing every
other one. two games. Mr. Eklund
won 11 out of the 14, Mr. Coutts
came out first In 10 while the tie for
third honors was made on the score
of 6. William Gulllford won the con
solation prize, being unfortunate
enough to lose every game. The oth

E. T. Wade. Mr. Coutts was host of
the occasion and provided cigars,

Roe Pay Hotter Than Hens.
Officials of the state department
today stated that while they had no
desire to throw cold water upon the
big poultry exhibition which opens
In New York this week, it Is shown
from statistics just prepared that
bees are more valuable as wealth
producers than hens, even when eggs
sell at 60 cenuts a dozen. An Idea
of the magnitude of the honey Indus
try may be gained from the state
ment that the crop In the United
States each year amounts to 110,000,

keepers lit the state of New York,
which stands second among the states
In the production of honey.
the political differences between Mr.
Furnish and myself, are made to bear
the burden of factionalism. As a mat
ter of fact. Mr. Wilson was not In the
state during the Lowell-Furnish po
litical battles, and Mr. Ferguson, if
here, was taking no Interest In po
litical affairs. He was a soldier In
the Philippines during the inception of
the fight, and be It known that his
support at this time has come largely
from the brave young men over the
state who bore the musket and faced
the shotted cannon In the Spanish
war, and of their own organization.
Mr. Bowerman Is himself a member.'
It Is entirely Immaterial to me who
Is appointed district attorney, but as
suredly Mr. Furnish and I can fight
our own battles without dragging Into
the arena young men who are entit
led to start their political career with
out the shadows of Oregon's stormy
past, and 1 protest against such Insin
uations as color your article.
