OPPOSED TO STATBiENTlNO. 1
Takes a Strong Stand In Favor of a
New and Modern Water Law
for the State.
Ill view of the fuel that my name
has appeared as n candidate for
nomination fur state representative,
to represent the Twenty-first Repre
sentative District, I wish to state
my position in regard to some of
the issues now before the republi
can voters.
First let me state that I am not a
politkian or an office seeker. I
have comented to become a candi
date at the urgent request of the
teuding republicans of Northern
und Western C-ook county.
I do not favor Statement No. 1.
hut if elected expect to vote for the
candidate for senator who receives
the highest republican vote.
One of the most vital, if not the
most vital question which confronts
the settler of Central Oregon is
that titles to water rights which arc
being obtained by purchase or oth
erwise be rendered as secure as
titles to land. It is a notorious and
deplorable fact that there is not in
Oregon at tlie present time a water
right the title to which is nbjolutc
tv unquestionable. If elected I
shall do everything in my power to
secure the enactment of concise and
adequate water laws which will not
only protect the interests of invest
or and settler alike, but which will
also protect In the peaceable enjoy
ment of thejr rights those persons
who have heretofore purchased or
filed uKu water rights and honest
ly endeavored to comply with the
present laws.
Having no political affiliations I
shall, if elected, go to the Legisla
ture as a free agent and as such
will support only such measures as
I consider for the best interests of
all.

Sliver Lake Man OrutaUy Murdered
and Body thrown Into Creek
The Silver Lake Orconian gives
additional particulars regarding the
murder of Julius Wallandc near
that place, which was noted in last
week's Bulletin. The Orcgonian
says the body was discovered float
ing iu Silver creek.
A coroner's jury was immediate
ly impanelled ami the investigation
following proved beyond a doubt
that Wullandc had been cruelly
murdered. On his head were io
deep wounds from some blunt In
strument, two of the blows causing
the wounds having, beep of suffi
cient force to cause fractures. His
nose had been fractured, his arms'
badly bruised, and he had evident
ly been choked. It is believed that
he made u desperate last struggle. .
When Wallandc disappeared he
was known to have something near
100 and a $35 gold watch, w.'tirh
had been taken from him before the
body writ! thrown iuto the creek,
but ifrls the general belief at Silver
Lake that robbery was not the only
motive that prompted the heartless
murderer to commit the terrible
deSd,.
Silver T.ake people have conlrib
uted $375 as a reward for the arrest
and conviction of the murderer.
A fetter from Silver I.aVe brings
the news thai out'p pie Hamilton,
is su'specled of ocluf flic murderer.

Hamilton is (he man 'Vno threat
ened a lady who wus faking the
trip from Rosland to Bend on the
stage jYh him last summer. He
was iu(oxicated and the stage flffc
cr was compelled to tte blia baud'
and foot to prevent trouble. Ham
ilton's answers at the inquest were
not entirely satisfactory and he is
the only man who knew that Wal
lande had any considerable sum of
money just before his disappear
ance last December. It is suf pected
that Hamilton has more than one
murder to his credit, ashc is known
to have left Silver Lake last sum
mer with Gregory Mcssncr, who in
tended to file on a homestead, and
who has not been heard of since al
though he 1ms 100 on deposit in
the safe of a Silver Lake merchant.
Mcssncr had $ioo or $300 in cash
when when he left and it is now be
lieved that Hamilton murdered
him. The sheriff is hdt on Hatriil

CAPITALISTS "aREToMING
Lumbermen Will Come to Bend about
May t to Look after Mill Sites
and Other Business.
Thomas II. Sbevlin and son,
Thos. L., and a Mr. Hickson,
lumber capitalists of Minneapolis,
Minn., have announced that they
will be in Bend about May to and
will remain eight or 10 days look

this section. It is also announced
that representatives of all the var

While here, the representatives

when transportation is furnished by
the buildiug of a railroad,
these lumber companies will be in
possession of their mill sites and
can build their mills nt once. It N
also reported that the lumbermen
will bunch their holdings by trad-,

themselves while in Bend. When
a company owns a few quarter
sections of timber removed from the
main body of its holdings, it will
trade these for tracts adjoining the

WHY THAT "FLOP"?

BLANCHARD A READY TOOL
Madras Pioneer (lives Additional Facts
Relative to the County Seat's Can
didate for County Judge.
More interesting developments
are coming to ligbt in regard to
the "flop" of J. F. Blancbard, who
first sought to secure the republi
can nomination for county superin
tendent of schools and then changed
his mind and went after the nomi
nation for county judge, in opposi
tion to H, C. Ellis of Bend. It is
generally believed and Mated b
the voters that Blancbard s flop
was instigated by Prineville politi
cians who hoped to defeat Mr. Ellis
by splitting the vote in the Madras
section. .This belief is strength
ened by an cditori.il in last week's.
Pioneer in answer to the letter
which Mr. Blancbard sent to that
paper f r publication, and which
also appeared in the Bulletin two
weeks ago. The Pioneer makes
statements that prove conclusively
that Mr. Blancbard's flop" was
due to the Prineville politicians
Extracts from the Pioneer's edi-'.
torial arc as follows:
"By a very ingenious geographi
cal division of the county be seeks
to make it appear that bis candi
dacy was induced by the desire to
uive this end of the county repre
sentation on the county board,1
when as a matter of fact, by bis
own admissions, the subject of bis
candidacy for county judge wits
first broached by the Prineville'
people. Does Mr. Blancbard ex
pect auy person in this end of the
county to believe that their anxiety
to have him run forjudge was in
the interest of the Madras country?
"There was unquestionably 'geo
graphy' in bis candidacy, but it
rests in this: The Prineville poli
ticians who pt-rsuaded him to quit
the race for school superintendent
and enter the race for county judge
expected through his candidacy to
cause a split in the solid vote on
the west side of the county and
thereby defeat Mj. Ellis. There
was more politics than geography
iu ft."
"His natfte bad never been men-
tioucd in connection with the judge
ship, aud was not until his. candi
dacy was launched at Prineville
He cannot denv that he felt no
unxiety about this district's repre
scntatiou on the county court until
the matter was pointed out to him
by the astute politiciamt at Prine
ville."
"Every voter in this precinct
kuows whether he wanted Mr.
Blancbard to quit the nce for
school superintendeut and run for
judge, or whether that proposition
came from Mr. lilauchard utnueii.
If he signed a petition asking Mr.
Blancbard to run forjudge, as some
did, be knows whether the idea
originated in his own mind, or
whether Mr. Blancbard suguested
the idea and argued hint into the
belief that the change was neces
sary in order to give this section
representation. Is that popular
clamor for Mr. Blancbard to run
forjudge?
"Some of his friends in this pre
cinct sigued his petition, but they
did so because Mr. Blauchard him
self solicited tbeirslgnaturcs. Many
of his friends here, we know, urged
him not to make the change? Mr.
Blauchard all the time peeking to
overcome their objections 'by subtle
arguments. And yc be intimate
that the denian&rcame from this
sectiou or he Uhould not have ea
tered the xtL&VT
"As to whose caadtdate Mr.
Blauchard ia, one statement made
by bim while be was hr J&ckHt
ly illuminate. that qwatteu, ' Jn
the praMHCfcf bysfeUMsWfs IteMtb-
cd to several business men in Mad
ras that he had been promised at
Prineville that if he would run for
judge, there should not be any
democratic candidate lor that olhcc,
Who was it then induced Mr.
Blancbard to run for county judge?"
The voters from the west and
north sides of the county under
stand clearly the reason why Mr.
Blancbard suddenly decided to
seek the nomination for county
judge, and knowing this they arc
uniting in their support of Mr.
Ellis. They recognize in Mr. Elli
a man who is eminently qualified
to fill the office of county judge and
one whose legal training aptly fits
him to preform the duties of that
office with great ability. They
also know that Mr. Ellis will give
an impartial administration of
county affairs, and that one section
of the county will not be favored at
the expense of other sections. In
hort, they are confident that with
Mr. Ellis county judge the affairs
of the county will be conducted as
they should be and with fairness to
nil. For these various reasons Mr.
Ellis will pol a very large vote at
the primaries and will easily win
the nomination and later the elec
tion. Oood Words for Coe and Ellis.
