MANY four 111811018 have bamboozled the people into
. sending ibem to congress in times past, but it is
doubtful wlibthoiMUiy state ever rient a cheaper four flush
er than Oregon in the person ot A. (Walter) Lafferty,
glib demagogue from the second congressional district.
A few years ago Laf forty's business consisted in spying
upon poor homesteaders and trumping up evidence against
them to be used in taking away their claims. As a paid
specialagent of the land department he became, well known
in the Silotz and other virgin sections. Later he hung
out his shingle as a lawyer, and went alter- poor people to
pay him a fee to bring suit against the Oregon iv; California
railroad, to compel the railroad to sell his clients grant
t
In the new congressional direetorv, Mr. Lafforty has
furnished the following autobioirranliy. claiming that he
"CMWyffrTi'.'.r.Tffr:::: "Si "instituted tho litigation now pending in the federal
court m Oregon to compel the Oregon A: Ualitorma rail
road company to sell 2,300,000 acres of land granted to it
by act of congress in accordance with the terms of the
grant, which require that the lands shall be sold by the
railroad company to actual settlors only, and at prices not
exceeding $2.50 an acre."
This is one of many bold attempts to steal credit. Agita
tion against the railroad land grant was begun in Jackson

Lafforty undergoes a frequent chauge of name. ITe used
to kall himself VAmidon V. La f fort v." Then it became
"Arthur W. Lhfferty." Then during the campaign it was
"Abraham W. Lafferty." "Call me Abe, boys" he said.
In the meantime, it had been plain "A. AY. La f fort v," and
also "A. "Walter Laffertv." Now in the congressional di
rectory, he appears as "A. AY. (AValter) Laffertv."
Why was Lafferty elected? just, a freak. The popular
revolt against stand-patlisin as personified bv Congress
man Ellis, who wore the brand, collar, and dog chain of the
interests, was ripe, and Lafferty with his brass monkey's
nerve alid asphalt pavement sensibilities, by divided op
position and demagogic speeches, was tossed into congress
upon the tidal wave of insurgency.
To send a man like Lafferty to congress robs the position
of dignity and honor and makes of it a sorry .jest.

REALTY MEN TO
GET TOGETHER
Meeting Scheduled for June to Arouse
Enthusiasm in Rogue River Valfcy
and Its Resources- Ban Upon
Knocking and Rivalries.
-i
' "Get together, aiid boost tho Rosne
river valley," was the resolution
haopled at ihq special meetinR of the
Knnltv association last evening. An!
inritation to come to n "Get together"
meeting in MtJford some tune vi
June, will bo sent by the association
to every real estate man in Jackson
nml Josephine counties, and prepara
tions will bo mndo hero in the mean
time for -their reception and enter
tainment, nnd a program prepared
for the business scs&ious calculated
to brine; out the best idca.s of. tho rep
resentative hustlers of every commu
nity in the valley.
It was tho common sentiment of
those present at the meeting, voiced
in (lie remarks mndo bv I'resident
Claude Garner, that steps should bo
immediately taken looking toward a
moro intimate acquaintance among
tho reaL estate men of this section,
a more' general diffusion of knowl
edge among them of tho resources
of the whole valley, and a movement
inaugurated to allay the feelings of
petty local jealousy nnd commercial
rivalry ,of ono town ivith another
which in the past have resulted in
much "knocking'' of one another's
resources and advantages.
"It is hiuh time," said Mr. Gamer,
"wiibhould get together. nnd agree,
to htop the knocking that has been
so freely indulged in in tho just, and
which is being used against us by the
outside knockers in other sections
Wo hhould ull realise that nature in
inuking the Rogue river valley did not
liKo-all of her first class material in
any ouo particular spot and nothing
butt bird olass in all the rest of this
region, but that the good is pretty
evenly distributed from Cow Creek
canyon to tho Siskiyous, nnd we
ought nil to gut together aud resolve
from I lib time on to give one grand,
united boost for the tvholo Rogue
riwsr valley,"
Tho activity in mining cirfles wns
discushcd at some length, and a min
ing bureau as a department of the
exohnngo suggested; it was also re
solved that the Conunercial club be
ieipieslcd to miiko arrangements for
a supply of choice Rogue river vul
