Malheur county is jubilant
over tho prospects of tho govorn
mcnt taking up tho irrigation
project over there. Secretary
Ballinger was there last week
and said he'd see about it
Our streets and roads leading
into town should bo given parti
cular attention. Tho crosswalks
aro being repared at present,
but not all aro being replaced in
tho best manner.
After listening to Dr. Withy
combe and other speakers of tho
farmers' institute it would appear
that what wo lack in this coun
try is not climate or soil, but
actual fanning to mnko it pro
duce as it should.
Real estate has been moving to
some extent this week and at
considerable advances. One
place was bought on Monday for
$5,000 and has since been sold for
$7,000. Much of tho land recent
ly thrown open has been entered
in various ways and people aro
still coming in.
According to Dr. Withycombo
the system of dry farming i3
really a simple matter that re
quires only common sense and a
little Btudy of local conditions.
If that is right let us not have
tho inteligence of our farmers
challenged but really make a suc
cess of the work.
The yield of grain in certain
portions of this county is certain
ly phenominal cousidering that
wo have not had quito one-half
the average precipitation this
season. When farmers learn
that it is necessary to put in
crops right and proper methods
used to conserve moisture wo
will have greater success.

Col. E. Hofer, who is ono Cf
tho biggest boosters in Oregon,
has been accused of being a can
didate for govornorbut ho comes
out emphatically and says "nay!"
He wants to bo freo to advocate
such reforms as ho considers im
portant and doesn't want to bo
tied up. Ho says: "Nowspaper
men in only a few raro instances
havo been chosen for that oflko.
If a newspaper is good for any
thing it stops on tho toes of so
many people that an editor is not
nvailablo for ofuco seeking. Tho
Republican party does not owo
tho editor of tho Capital Journal
any such high honor as a nomina
tion for any stnto ofllce. He pre
fers his independence of thought
and action to any prize in tho
way of a public ofllce.
"Furthermore, any man who
becomes an avowed candidate for
an official nomination at the
hands of his party should bo pre
pared to support tho nominee of
tho party, and for tho ofllce of
Governor there may bo a person
nnmed wo would not want to
support under nny circumstances.
Hence, we shall seek no nomina
tion for the oflko at tho hands of
any party. Tho next Governor
of Oregon should havo no bridle
in his mouth from any party, nor
have his hands tied by any as
sembly or faction."

The suggestion that Burns take
up tho matter of a public park
and the proposed opening and
grading of North Main street aro
matters that should receivo ser
ious consideration and imediate
attention. Both improvements
are certainly desired. Tho for
mer should bo provided for be
fore it is too late to secure suita
ble site. The latter proposition
may depend largely upon the at
titude of the property owners
along the line of tho proposed
improvement, but tho probable
cost should bo ascertained and
then ways and means may be
provided.
Tho Harriman people now ad
mit that J. J. Hill is backing tho
Porter Bros, who are putting up
a fight for a railroad up tho Des
chutes canyon and that Mr. Hill
is evidently in the race for Ore
gon territory. Such boing the
case it is a foregone conclusion
that Central Oregon will have
two railroads and that thcro will
be no "monkey business" in
pushing the work. Mr. Hill is
not a bluffer. It is reported ho
has purchased the P. I. N. from
Woiser north and this will be a
link of his lines through this dis
trict With Hill on both sides of
us we may rest assured he will
connect the lines when such a
magnificent territory lies between.
M. Murry and W. B. Barrett
arrived from Heppner Tuesday.
Mr. Murray is buying Iambs in
Grant county and states that if
it is possible ho would like to get
about 40,000. Up to this time he
has purchased in Grant county
16,000 and expects to increase
his purchase in this county to
20,000. He has been paying $3
for this spring lambs. These
lambs are being purchased for
Montana shipment and will bo
consigned to J. B. Long & Co.,
of Montana. They aro purch
ased for September shipment
and will bo shipped by way of
Austin as it is claimed that tho
trail to the railroad is better in
this direction than any other.

HILL DACKINQ PORTER BROS.
The experience of G. W.
Young, as he expressed it at tho
farmers' institute, of trying ia
drown his ranch out for 23 years
before he finally realized that
drainage was what it wnnjed
instead, is tho situation of Ja
large number of our peoplo along
the river. Men who havo made
a study of such methods aro
pronounced and positive in their
assertions that a large amount
of our natural meadow lands aro
deteriorating from being drown
ed in water. The sooner this Is
realized and the water taken off
and allowed to be used on land
that needs more Irrigation tho
sooner a larger acreage of this
valley will be pnt under profit
able cultivation.
Tne knocker fa knocked by his
own knocking. "Knock and it
shall be opened unto you" was
not spoken of the knocker, Tbie
was meant for the seeker. Ther
never was a kneeker who was a
seeker, the seekers don't knock.
A knocker is a erose betawen a
failure and a crime. He 1mm no
hope in himself, nor faith in any
body else. He is a moral wart
All doubt that James J. Hill is
tho power behind tho anti-Harri-man
invasion of Central Oregon
may bo brushed aside. Too many
developments bearing directly
upon tho gigantic strugglo now
being waged for this rich empire
indicate this to admit of question,
says the Telegram.
The Oregon Trunk people are
planning to bridge the Columbia
to connection with tho North
Bank road. This has leaked out
today. Porter Brothers, who
own tho Oregon trunk rights
have been in conference today
with Attorney James B. Kerr,
the Hill lawyer who whipped and
routed Harriman.s legal lights at
every issue whon the O. R. & N.
was trying to block the Hill line
down tho Washington Bhoro of
tho Columbia. It is known that
Mr. Kerr has been engaged for
some timo picking up the odds
and ends of tho situation that
may result in litigation between
the Dcschatcs River road and
tho Oregon Trunk, and that ono
of tho purposes of today's confer
ence between tho Porters and
Lawyer Kerr Ib to docldo upon a
course of action that shall fur
ther harass the Harriman forces.
John P. Stevens, the confiden
tial representative of James Jy
Hill, who had until a fow days
ago been hero for a month study
ing tho Central Oregon situation,
was a frequent conferee with At
tprnoy Kerr about matters per
taining to railroad building into
the Jong-neglected territory.
