THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF GILLIAM
COUNTY, OREGON.
Walter 'Hurt, the bright and
ltratrty editor of life; Getting Gun, a
truth tellinff pa (Mr puWishetl at
Cleveland, OtiV w under indict
ment cm i charge ot Bending ob
ecene UMitter through the United
Skates mail Walter "hurt"
the feelings of the federal favored
few by telling the truth about
tilings, too numerous to mention,
and he now enjoys promising pros
pects of a period of imprisonment
in the penitentiary. We have read
the three latest numbers of the
Gun and fail to find anything in
any of them which would seem
to justify either the suppression of
the paper or the imprisonment of
its editor, and as an humble mem
ber of the newspaper fraternity, we
enter our protest against this
threatened throttling of a forceful
writer and a fearless man.
Governor Geer issued a procla
mation on the 9th. inst declaring
the 10th a legal holiday in honor of
the returning volunteers. The gov
ernor shoold have collared his in
spiration quicker or held his peace
longer. Such an action looks like
a "gallery play" inasmuch as not
one-twentieth of the people of the
state could be expected to hear of
the holiday until it had passed.
FREER TRANSPORTATION.
Notwithstanding the high freight
rates charged by railroad com
panies, the upper county, the great
wheat growing section of the In
land Empire, has thrived in years
past. It has developed into a thrif
ty, prosperous country under the
most unfavorable conditions, for
the exorbitant rates exacted for
moving the products of the farm
to tide water have reduced the pro
fits of the producer to the mini
mum, yet they have been able to
exist and at the same time accu
mulate property about them that
has made the majority independ
ent But what the country would
have been, and what the residents
would have been able to accomplish
" had they been favored by lower
rates can only be imagined.
aarta r
i ne tact tnai ine producers oi
the upper country have had too
much of their income absorbed
in getting their products to mar
ket has retarded the growth and
development of the Inland Empire
and has also cramped business in
the places from which it drew its
supplies and did its shipping. Had
the farmers been able to get their
wheat to market for 8 cents a bush
ei insteau oi paying u cents, tuey
I A J f ' . - 1 A
would have been more liberal buy
ers, hence would have helped
build up the cities on the coast
with which they traded. There
fore it has been shortsighted on the
part of Portland that it has not in
the past lent its influence to re
move the obstructions to naviga
tion on the Columbia, for bad it
done bo wheat would have been
delivered at Portland from all
common points east of Umatilla at
$2.50 or $3 a ton.
But the adverse influence, or to
say the least, lack of interest on
the part of Portland toward the
producers of the Inland Empire
has prevented the river being op
ened to free navigation. This con
dition will, however, not exist
m uch longer. Ere lone the Col
umbia will be opened to compara
tively free navigation, and the peo
ple who for years have been in the
grasp of railroad companies will
soon have freer transportation fac
ilities, and will get their products
to market at a reasonable cost.
The effect of this will be the de
velopment of much agricultural
land that isnotnow utilized. It will
bring into cultivation thousands of
acres that at present are but a
barren waste, and counties that
are tributary to the Columbia will
increase rapidly in population.
Trade at all points along the river
will be better, and a more prosper
ous condition may be expected.
Freer transportation and lower
rates will do much for the entire
upper country. Times Mountaineer-

Filipinos' Friend.
A report from London says that Ad
miral Dewey was Interviewed the other
day at Naples io the course ot which he
taid:
'I have the question of the PhUipinee
more at heart than dm auy other Amer
ican, because I know the Filipinos inti
mately and they know that 1 ani tbair
friend". The recent insurrection is the
fruit oi the anarchy which has Ions reign
ed in the islands, but the insurgents
will have to submit themselves to the
law after being accustomed to no law at
ail. I believe and affirm, nevertheless
that the Philippine queetioo should be
verv soortiy solved.
"The Filipinos are capable of covering
themselves; they have all qualifications
for it. It is a Question ot time bat the
only way to settle the insurrection and
asaare prosperity to tbe archipelago is
to concede sell-government to the In
habitants. This would be the solution
of many questions and wonld satisfy all
especially the Filipinos, who believe
tnemseivea wormy out and are so.
i have never been in favor of violence
toward the Filipinos. The islands area!
this moment blockaded by a fleet and war
reigns iu tbe la tenor. This abnormal
state of thing should cease. I should
like to see autonomy first conceded and
then annesation might be talked aboeL
This is my opinion.
1 sboulil like to see violence at once
put a stop to. According to my view,
the concession of self-government ought
to be tbe moat just and logical solution."
