The Review and
Journal of
Prineville, The Dalles Chronicle,
the Moro Observer, the Baker City.
Herald and numerous other news
papers have lined up for William
son for congressman. The an
nouncement that Moody would
break
cover has been
greeted
warmly by only one paper—The;
Grass Valley Journal. In Port- j
land Moody is forced to line up
with Simon, not because they are
friends, but because they havb sim
ilar griefs.
Both have been “ trun
down” by Mitt-hell and they seem
to have organized a camp of the
politically uliiicted. The Simon
wing in Multnomah bolted Furn
ish at the last election and what
ever satisfaction the action gave
them at the time, the Simonites
now find that the Furnish vote will
be taken as a basis for apportion
ing delegates to the various pre
cincts, and tho Si men districts will
have their representation reduced.
In numerous counties in this con
gressional district Moody will have
supporters but he seems to be
taekn up entirely by minority fac
tions. This league of the politi
cally altlicted is discordant and
weak. A common hatred is the
weakest of all political bonds and
its cause seems hopeless against
the combined forces of Mitchell,
Williambon and F u U o d .
R e lie f to T im b e r C la im a n ts .
Their horsemanship is wonderful
and death has few terrors for them.
In appearance they are mostly
blue-eyed and light-haired but are
not pure blooded whites. They
have lived many years near tho
Mongol Tartar and many of them
have Mongolian blood In their
veins. Like all ignorant people
they are whimsically superstitious.
In one battle a troop of them quit
the fight to chase and kill a rabbit,
the escape of which would have
been a bad omen. They are far
from being Reliable soldiers and
cannot be trusted to carry out any
plan of battle.
