Night divine, oh, night of love.
Bliss doth our senses sway.
Smile on us, ye stare above
For youth will have its way.
Speedily the time doth flow
Ah. never to return;
Here alone the moments linger,
Here where passions burn.
Let rephers now embrace us
To our pleasure's delight
'With tender soft caresses
Oh, linger thou night.
Xight divine, oh, night of love
Bliss doth our senses sway
Smile on us, ye stars above
For youth will have its way.

A TIMELY ACTION.
Through a resolution adopted yes
terday the managing board of the
Commercial Association urges that of
ficials of the federal government take
steps towards securing a full and
tpeedy determination of the rights of
the Indians of the reservation.
It is a call to the officials to get
tusy and apply the Montana decision
to the Umatilla reservation if the
courts hold it is applicable here. John
McC'ourt, United .tats district attor
ney, has already held the decision to
be applicable here to an extent. He
has ruled thtt local Indians may use
water from the river for the irriga
tion of th-iir allotments when they
v-ork, in person. He has also notified
the I'tndifcton water board that the
InJians hnve first title to the water

Positively no such Money
Pendleton wants for its municipal
needs.
Having done this much it is square
ly up to Mr. McCourt to go through
with the deal. If he is going to ap
ply the treaty rights to the city of
Pendleton how can he escape apply
ing that treaty to others, such as for
Instance, his former client, the Byers
milling- company?
Since he has ruled Indians may use
water when they farm their allot
ments in person how can he escape
ruling that Indians Are also entitled
to water when they rent their allot
ments to white men? Surely the
United States government is not go
ing to discriminate against the old
men, the squaws and the children
who cannot work their allotments in
person. It will be a strange sort of
guardian if it does.
The establishment of the reserva
tion water rights is a thing- of the ut
most importance to Pendleton as well
as to the Indians. If the Indian rights
are fully established it will mean that
thousands of acres of land immedi
ately adjoining Pendleton may be ir
ligated and brought under actual set
tlement. It will mean everything to
Pendleton. Furthermore if the mat
ter is handled aright and reservoir?
constructed to store flood waters the
reservation can be irrigated without
injury to anyone farther down the
stream. On the other hand it will
mean benefit to all concerned, includ
ing the local mills, because when the
flood waters are stored the summer
flow of the river is Increased.
The Commercial club is the repre
sentative organization of the business
iMerests of this city and the managing
board is clearly right in taking the
action it did. The Commercial club
and local people in general should
watch this matter closely and see that
the proper officials do their duty
The case is one wherein the rights of
the Indians and the welfare of Pen
dleton go hand in hand. We should
see that the reservation rights are
fully established or know the reason
why.
WILL THEY REMOVE THEM?
At this time the street lights in the
business section of Pendleton make
a strange showing. In places there
ere cluster light poles at close inter
vals. Elsewhere there are none. The
job looks unfinished and it Is. Strang
ers within the gates often ask what
is the matter and it is natural they
should make such inquiries. The
f.treet looks like someone had started
to do something but wag taken sick
r called away.
The trouble, as everybody knows,
arises from the fact that electric and
telephone poles are in the way. They
Hoil the effect of the cluster lights
tnd they take up good space on the
sidewalks. It will be impossible to
illuminate our business streets prop
erly until those poles and the over
hi ad wir'-s arc removed.
It wili be within the power of the
new mayor and council to remedy
tl is d' f-ct and render a good service
to Pendleton. Do those who are
running for office plan to bring about
tiiis improvement or are they afraid
cf hurting the electric trust and the
telephone trust, both of which con
cerns take enormous sums of money
out of Pendleton every year and give
just as little as possible in return.
Where do the candidates stand?
WATER IS WANTED.
In another communication today
James Johns intimates he has a
scheme for -a municipal power plant
or.d it does not involve the purchase
of the Byers mill which Mr. John
Saving opportunity exists anywhere in Pendleton. The reductions are
exactly as stated. Come and see.

suggested not long since to the East
Oregonian and did not speak in con
fidence either.
As Mr. Johns does not deign to give
any Information regarding his new
plan it would be out of place to com
ment upon his enterprise. The East
Oregonian will hope however for the
sake of the city as well as for Mr.
Johns, that the scheme Is Indeed
more savory than the plan to pur
chase the Byers mill and its uncer
tain water right in order to obtain
a water supply for the city.
The city is looking for water, not
a gold brick.
The proposed organization of the
Indians of the west might accomp
lish some good by demanding that
the United States g-overnment, guar
dian of the local redmen, proceed with
the establishment of the Umatilla
reservation wator rights.
Reactionaries are alright as ballast
tut it does not do to let them run
the ship.
MO HE FROM JAMES JOHN'S.
Pendleton, Ore., Nov. 21. 1911.
Editor East Oregonian:
I notice in your paper of the 20th
Inst. "More About James Johns," that
you refer to a conversation you had
with me sometime since. I did not
know I was talking for publication
at the time, but since you have seen
fit to refer to it, let us go into it fur
ther. The subject of our conversation
was then as it is now. "The Troubles
of the Pendleton Water Question."
When I suggested that it was too bad
the city of Pendleton did not accept
Mr. Byers proposition to furnish the
city with water when he offered to do
so, and at the same time develop
a power sufficient to run his mill,
light the city and have -other power
to nrnlsh other industries, I also
said it was not too late, as I under
stood the owners of that " property
wanted to sell. I did suggest that If
the city charter permitted that it
might be a way out of the difficulty,
as I believe you and I both agree that
the Byers people had some rights on
the riper that might terminate In cost
ly litigation. I also remember that
we both agreed that if the Byers peo
ple had the rights they claimed, they
had a very valuable asset. We also
agreed as I remember, that It would
not be feasible for the city at that
time to go into the milling business.
Now I suppose. Mr. Editor, that Is
the reason I am a "henchman, a ser
vant, a follower, and employe of the
Byers Milling Co." I will say, how
ever. I th.'nk an Investment In the
Byers mill property, at a reasonable
figure would be considered by busi
ness men, a better purchase than 26
acres of land at Thorn Hollow at $4 -000.
You say the P.yers mill has no wa
ter rights. John McCourt, United
