Editorial THURSDAY, Clouding The Issues. Tho whole intPier-t in rt.-ite politics is being centered on the desper ate efforts of the old pH nr politicians to regain control of the Repub lican party. Inspired by the notorious Jack Matthews, and backed by the Bell telephone monopoly, the Southern Pacific railroad and the big timber barons, the Ilodflon-Bailey-Beach combine is sparing no means to accomplish their end to deprive the voters in the llepub. licnn party from it voice in the direction and policy of the party. This flight forced on Republicans in Ihe ranks for their rijjht to stay in the party, has pushed to the rear every issue of men and meas ures within the party and will probably result in the election of a Democratic United States senator. Thin will be charged to the direct primai y by the corrupt ging politicians, but the fault will be wholly theiisnnd the Oregonian's. The Republicans haven't a fair chance to learn of the respective merits of theircandidates. Mr. Cake is an out-and-out Statement" No. 1 man, but Senator Fulton is handicapi ed by the influence and money of the Jack Matthews gang, who even him down at the polls. Fulton knows that but is between the devil and tho deep blue sea and knoweth not which way to turn. Oregon Democrats are in clover. , They have only one candidate for President, and only onb for United States senator. There are three Republican aspirants for Congress from the second district. One is an unkr own, Geer is opposed to the people having a say in the control of the party, so it seems that Ellis will have a walk away for the nomination. The Portland Commercial club Cornell University, author of a geography now very generally used in scnoois inrougnout tne united mates, ing special attention to the development of Oregon and Washington. The Portland club claims to have furnished Professor Tarr "very com plete data on Oregon, together with a number of thorough'y represen tative pictures." Professor Tarr is still asking for photographs of 9e cific subjects. It it fafe to assume that he has not been furnished with photographs of Eagle Cap, "the highest mountain in Oregon," or pictures of the lakes, peaks it ml glaciers in the Wallowa mountains, the most beautiful tcenery in Oregon. It is Bate to assume that for Portland does not know about them. photographs direct to Professor Tarr. In the monthly bulletin of the Wallowa county is classed among inactivity of the county board and failure to compel compliance with the law, practically nothing has been done," in the report of vital sta tistics, births, deaths and contagious diseases. During last December the report shows eight births, one death and seven marriages in this county; no cases of tuberculosis, typhoid fever, diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles or other infectious diseases, except smallpox, of which there were five i uses and no deaths. There is a greater tubIi of eastern people Oregon-ward this spring than ever liefore. The traveling passenger agent of the O. R. & N. eays all indications are for larger travel over that line this month and next than ever before. Inquiries are more numerous both from homeseekers and eas ern ticket agencies, Tho dispositi on is to seek the smaller towns, mi l the majority of those looking for country places intend to enter fruit growing or dairying, two industries especially attractive and profitable in this county. This county ia shut off in a large measure from these settlers because of no railroad facilities. No section of the Union surpasses the Pacific Northwest in the excellence of its public schools, and Oregon communities are manifest ing their interest in the State University by urging upon the state the most liberal appropriations for the maintenance of this institut'on in a way that will enable it to reach its highest efficiency. This was the meat of a resolution adopted by the Portland Commercial club recently. Public bodies throughout the Northwest appreciate that institutions of higher learning are a factor of the greatest importance to Eastern people who contemplate making their homes here. Frost is out of the ground and plowing in progress in many parts of Wallowa county. No one is wondering if the season will be '-favorable." Seasons are always favorable in Wallowa; there ure no lean years though some are falter than others. Opponents of Statement No. 1 Eastern Oregon, but a few in ette valley doubt if they have intelligence enough to know who they want for United States senator. W. S. ITBea Withdraws. Portland, March 12 W. S. U'Ren, who recently announced his candidacy for the United States senate from Oregon, has issued a letter of withdrawal this morning. In withdrawing from the race for the United States sen.itorship U'Ren has issued a statement in which he pays his respects to Harvey Scott, Jack Matthews and some other wealthy men and poli ticians representing great corporate interests, who, he declares, will go to any length to defeat Statement No. 1, He then says: "The effective campaign Mr. Cake is now making for Statement Na 1, leaves me no alternative but to withdraw and strengthen him for the sake of principle, or con tinue the Campaign and endanger Record NrwsPAJE h it, I89H.

HARRIMAN OPPORTUNITY. . Editorial in Portland Journal A Wallowa county paper, (The I News Record V. mentioning thei fact that 8000 hogs had been sold out of Wallowa Valley during the at four months, added that when the railroad wits completed through ihe valley a projected there would lie four times as many hog raised , there. And this is all the more prnlmUe m account of the great Hi king J lants to be built in Port- land. ; This one instance illustrates Ihe need of the completion of that long promised and long deterred rail road. Other products would in crease in volume and value also; population and taxable property would increase; the railroad would benefit greatly not only that region but Portland as well And there can be no doubt that the road Would be very profitable. Yet Mr. Harriman will neither build that road nor permit anyone else, to build one there. The establishment of these pack ing plants here will give a big boom to Die hog raising industry in the Oregon country. In several of the counties of eastern Oregon, especially; farmers are contemplat ing the raising of more hogs When grain is very high hogs might not be profitable, but it has been demonstrate! by. some farm ers that it pays, at the price ling have been lately, to feed even 75 cent wheat to them. And those packing house will make an un limited market for all the hogr1 that can he raised. IN A GOOD COUNTRY. From the Kennewick Reporter. Many residents of this city will re member Duuiei Boyd, formerly a practic ing attorney in Kennewick where he enjoyed the confidence and fellowship of many friends. Mr. Boyd 1 now sec retary of the Wallowa Land & Abstract company in Enterprise, Oregon, of whirlr city he is the mayor. To one of the editors of the Reporter, who is an old time friend, Mr. Boyd writes: "Dear Scott: "I have jurt seen a copy of your paper and find it to be up to date. You have settled in the best town and. the btst country in the Northwest with one ex ception, Enterprise, and the Wallowa country. Here is to yon and your family and the Reporter,- may you live long and prosper. Send me the paper fo one year and I will Rend check upon receipt of bill. , Sincerely yours, Daniel Boyd.'' . We will agree with Daniel about this being the best town and the best country in the Northwest but will not admit the exception although we say nothing hut good of the Wallowa country and ine city oi enterprise wbere we number some of the best friends we ever expect to meet. V ith the advant ages of the country and the class of people who inhabit it, Enterprise and Wallowa county cannot hut be one of tbe finest spots in the United States, lait well wt- are living in Kennewick now and we formerly lived in Enter prise. Holt lit merely a question cf opin ion, but just the same Keni:ewick is the best country on earth. Real Estate Transfers Week Ending Feb. 29, 1908-Prepared . By Wallowa Law, Land & Abstract Co.
