committee of 48, at the head of the
movement for a third party, today
Issued the following statement: "The
result of the democratic convention
makes -the organization of a new
party a certainty. . The republican
convention adopted a reactionary
platform and selected an old guard
candidate., The people of the Unit
ed States expected relief from the
democratic convention. Again thetr
hopes were shattered. The Cox
nomination was put through by no
torious bosses, representing an al
liance' between big business and the
tenderloin." "

"We must educate tbe people of
the East to the value of water on the
land,' Not one In 25 of our con
gressmen has an Idea of It," C. L i
("Farmer") Smith, Union Pacific
agriculturist, told the Bend Commer
cial club at tbe weekly luncheon of
that organization at the Pilot Butte
Inn this noon. "We must concen
trate on this thought In our recep
tion of the congressional appropria
tions committee. Water on this
land is going to earn a very large
rate of Interest on the original cost
of placing water on the land."
Farmer Smith gave- statistic
showing that the crop taken from the
farms on the Twin Falia project In
the 1919 season alone represented
values three times the cost of the

CENTRAL OREGON
LONG HISTORY
New Value as Material for Manufacture of Pencil Slats
Recalls Aid Given By Hardy Trees to Early
Settlers East of the Mountains,
, Recognition of the value of juni
per as one ' of the great natural re
sources of Central Oregon Is occord
ed in an editorial published ij the
Oregonian under the heading. "Now
for a Juniper Reserve." Interesting
facts regarding the history of the use
of juniper are also given, tn the edi
torial, as follows:
"Interest 14 renewed in the omni
present Juniper tree o central Ore
gon by the statement that lead pencil
manufacturers have at last become
aware of Its virtue as a provider of
pencil Mate.-' The manufacturers of
pencils, we are told, have sent more
orders than' can be filled not that
juniper Is not plentiful, but that men
cannot be found who will cut the
bolts. . "
. Possibly It Is not wholly a short
age of labor that Is the present
trouble." And It Is a mistake to desig
nate the juniper as 'long despised'
as a contemporary does. The juniper
is one of the most prlied possessions
of Your Uncle Samuel. ; He owns a
vast area of land tn Central Oregon,
land that Is not particularly attrac
tive to the settler because of its dry
ness, or its rocky or hilly character,
but It Is dotted with Juniper. The
juniper Is not particular about mois
ture or quality of soil.. Like the sage
brush, It will grow to larger propor-j
tions in fertile soil, hut also tike the
sage brush, it will struggle success
fully for existence In lava beds or tn

(Br UsiXd Piw to Tba Bent Bullrtia)
BAN FRANCISCO, Jaiy 7. De
claring that the "overshadowing
question in the campaign is whether
we shall enter the maelstrom of
European and Asiatic pojHIcs, or
whether America shall live her ova
life in her own way, with inde
pendence unfettered," Senator Hi
ram Johnson stated today that ha
would support the republican party.
In his statement, which does not
mention Harding by name, he com
pares tbe republican and democratic
platforms, pointing out that the re
publican party "stands firmly against
the president's covenant as pre
sented," denounces it as "breeding
war rather than peace," while ths
democratic party platform "ea
dorses the president's attitade, tak
ing: its position in ' favor of the
league as presented." " '
"The candidate," he said, "stands
four square on a platform whose
issue leaves those who believe is
safeguarding, protecting, and pro
serving oar Americanism but one)
choice. That choice is the republi
can party."

JUNIPER HAS
OF USEFULNESS
a sprinkling of dust on the bed-rock,
: "Time was when the juniper be
longed to anybody and everybody
who wanted it. By the stockmen of
Central Oregon It was never despised.
It provided them with .fence posts
that never rotted, and it gave them
a firewood that was the envy of dis
tant neighbors, who, on wintry day
and nights, had only the flashy sags
brush to keep them warm, and were
alternately too hot or too cold, de
pending on the industry with which,
they stoked the air-tight heater.
Farmers and stockmen went out and
cut the juniper without hindrance
It supplied the trading centers with
fuel. Prineville for years ran its
electric) lighting plant with juniper
cut from open and unappropriated
government land. ' !
"The esteem In which it was held
was first brought to attention when
a juniper tract was segregated for
irrigation under the Deschutes proj
ect. At contest was Instituted to de
termine whether the lands were in
tact agricultural or Umber lunds. The
irrigationists won the ease. ' .
"Bat soon thereafter the govern--ment
became' doubtful as to the ex
act nature of the juniper. A stock
man near Burns, who was in need of
fence posts, filed on a quarter sec
tion of juniper land at the base of
Buck mountain. It was an agrieal-.
