Mr. H;u riman had made anoth
er uroHiiho at a ;ety opportune
time. Tlu purposed amendment
to the constitution giving author
ity to the people of Oregon to
build vailroails had passed the
house and this promise was
thought the proper thing to stop
the measure in the senate. Whe
ther it hn had such an effect we
have not learned at this tinie.
It beems strange to those who
are familiar with the general to
pography of the country that
Mr. Harriman should choose the
Deschutes route. To spend $4,
773,000 for 130 miles of road
through a section of the charact.
or of the Deschutes canyon k
reach the Bend country wheK
the only possible tonnage can be
found is something of a mystery
when the Corvallis & Eastern is ,
so near and much less expensive.
The real secret may be in the
fact that the Oregon Trunk has
surveyed up the Deschutes and
this is supposed to be a Hill line.
A locul business man who has
just returned from Portland was
told that the contractors who
had built the bridges across the
Columbia and Willamette giving
HJI entrance to Portland from
t'io north bank had moved their
outfit up to'the mouth of the
PiM.hu tea where they had pur
tl a.ed a small ranch and stored
u'l iheir tools. Its looks very
much as though this outlit might
begin early in the spring to build
another bridge across the Colum
bia r.t that place give-Mr. Hill
ani-ilier inlet to the considered
h'li.man territory. This, it
v ui! seem is the real secret of
tn i pensive road promised by
J I lluiriman up the Deschutes.
I . Portland Journal takes this
i w of the promise. It sayB:
The wisdom of the railroad
a' . ndment is already confirmed.
Tu mjHure proposes to give
Oil '- -ii people authority te them
si ie build railroads as a means
of n.rthrowing the Harriman
riii of bottling up Oregon.
No ooner does the measure ap-
pi.rirthe legislature with the
er.v strongest of influence back
of it than forthwith- comes the
announcement that Mr. Harri
ma.i proposes to build a line up
tho Deschutes into Central Ore
ton. Ntver before was such
cclontv manifested. For years,
our policy of supplication and
mcckn. s brought nothing but
indifk ience and arrogance. Our
P nt n 5 were spurned. Our ap
pc al v . re treated with a cold,
unheeding disdain. Our requests
wire as the requests of bad
cl i 1 . p to a lofty and omnipo
tent "rtat father. We got noth
ing but resistance and for that
re 'iu.ee paid Mr. Harriman a
net profit of more than $6,000,000
in Fold last year.
Wc changed our tactics. We
alUr-d our attitude. We went
to tn. legislature with a plan for
helping- ourselves. We introduc
ed f . railroad amendment, and
harL: iftly on the wings of
tcl'Tapii comes the tuuiounce
r.vnc that the great father is
with a'l speed to luild t- railroad

a disposition in . tho past to shift
the responsibility from one of

would not support ollicers who
really nttempted to do their dutj

The following; is clipped from
the Portland Journal of Wednes
day: Governor Chamberlain sent
a hot special message to the leg
islature this aftenv'-n cnPing
upon them to put .rough' the
amendment to ti, constitution
providing for 8tte aided rail
roads. The limcnHmciit hnH nl.

en assume such responsibility as ' been hung up in the senate. Tho
is necessary and seo to that pub
lic officers live up to their oaths
and do their duty. If thoy fail
in this invoke tho recall and kick
them out ', -.
The Times-Herald wishes to be
charitable But it knows that our
public officers have not done their
duty in the -past. This is not al
together the fault of tlfb officers
as the people fail to give them
the moral support they should.
However, this is only half an ex
cuse for any public officer who
would show a determination to
strictly enforce the law would be i dress you
backed by decent citizens to the fear that
message is generally looked upon
as striking a hard blow at Harri
man and emphasizes the slate's
determination to build her own
railroads. Coming as it did with
announement alleged to have
been made through Harrimin of
a road up the Deschutes, it caused
surprise.
The President and Members of
the Senate: The Importance to
the people of the state of house
joint resolution No 16, introduced
by the speaker of tho house of
representatives leads me to ad-
a brief message for

auces that should not be on the tionai the close of die session its
books the better way to find it; importance maybe overlooked,
out is to enforce it so people may
see the injustice and it may bo
repealed or modified.
The Oregonian picks out Col.
C. E. S. Wood from a multitude
who are advocating state aid to
railroad building to give him an
unwarranted dig and extols Mr.
Cotton's stand ujon the subject.
Col Wood is advocating what he
believes is right and is sincere.
Is Mr. Cotton doing likewise, or
is he earning his salary as a Har
riman attorney? We could ex
pect nothing else from Mr. Cot
ton considering the position he
holds. If the Oregonian would
use its energies, talents and
means to assist in bring rehef to
a neglected district and show the
sincere friendship that Col. Wood
is showing, it might be of much
more benefit to the people of
Oregon.
That was a good suggestion of
the Burns delegation to invite
Portland people to see us during
fair week, as the weather is gen
erally ideal for traveling at that
time, besides they will have an
opportunity to see good samples
of our products without travel
ing all over the county to find
them.
This resolution passed the
house on Monday night, 1ms been
received by tho senate, and am
just advised imported upon un
favorably by tho committee to
whom it was referred. It has
for its purpose the submission to
the people of an amendment of
article 11 of the constitution so
as to authorize the creation of
railroad districts within the state
empowered to construct railroads
or other highways, authorizes the
purchase or construction of rail
roads, the pledging of credit of
state or county, the levy of tax
es, the condemnation of rights of
way and the exercise of other
powers usually incident to rail
way construction and tho opera
tion of railways by the state.
The people of Oregon and par
ticularly those along the coast
line and in central and south
eastern Oregon have been en
tirely neglected and ignored in
so far as their needs for trans
portation facilities are concerned.
The railroad company winch con
trols the destinies of the state
has premised from time to time,
through its officials that it would
extend its lines into the neglect
ed territory and give some relief
to the producers and consumers,
but as often as these promises
have been made they have been
violated, and although the sec

system now opornting within tho
Blnto will redeem promises which
have been nmdo from timo to

been vlolnled.
Certainly it can do no harm to
submit tho proposed amendment
to tho constitution as tho resolu
tion undor consideration author
ises, to tho pcoplo for their con
sideration and lot tho pcoplo nay
whether or not tho Btnto is ready
to construct' and opcrnto a rail

Some of tho prominent people
of Eastern Oregon aro advocat
ing tho division of tho state anil
forming another commonwealth,
which is to include that part of
Orogon east of the Cascade
mountains. T. ,1. Monroe, a
prominent stockman of Mitchell,
in an interview in the Orogon
Journal says:
"Wo east of tho mountains,
are in diro need pf something of
the kind. We feel that we have
been slow to develop; and the
lack of state and federal institu
tions only goes to prove that we
have been cared ' for by factory
made politicians. Wo are sadly
in need of a largo experiment
station to assist us in the science
of dry farming to say nothing
of what wo need in way of asylums
for the blind, the deaf mute, t',rt
insane. A reform school would
bo'in order, and what about a
penitentiary?
"Wo stockmen are forced to
spend hundreds of dollars in or
der to got tho least recognition
in the way of legislation in out
line. And our representatives
in the legislature must fight like
demons to even get a pleasant
smilo for Eastern Oregon. In
the isolated counties such as
Crook, Wheeler, Grant, Malheur
and Harney, we need a system
of good roads, and stat assis
tance in mnintnning them, but
we might as well ask for a U. S.
Senator from Eastern Oregon.
This may seem foolish talk to
some of you, but the older set
tlors will bear mo out in the
statement, that tho forming of a
new state hero in Eastern Oregon
is the ono paramount issue when
it comes to doing something for
the development of our resource
ful country.
The attitude which a certain
stripe of politicians displayed to
ward George Chamborlain, the
people's choice (in Eastern Ore
gon) goes to prove that the soon
er we act the better. As I said
before, I am not alone when I
advocate such a move, and I shnll
use my best endeavor to enlist
the voters of my locality in an
attempt to hold a meeting in
some of tho larger Eastern Ore
gon towns-cither Pendleton,
Baker City or La Grande -for the
purpose of forming a permanent
organization, which shall have
for its solo purpose a now state,
witnin the pounds ot what is
known as Eastern Oregon."
Mr. Monroe is ono of the old
est settlers of Wheclor nnd Crook
'"uinties, is a democrat, but takes
no further interest in politics
nan a strong desire to see a
more marked improvement in tho
means of developing tho great
resources of Eastern Oregon.
