that time he has been upright, honorable
and just in all his dealings with the

Walter Moore to thank for being able to
battle successfully with the hard times
which have sorely taxed the people Of
this country during the past three years.
Mr.. Moore is man who can and will do
the people good service if he should be
chosen to represent them in the state
legislature (which I believe he will be).
The nomination came to him uLsought /;
was forced upon him, and he accepted it
from sense of duty, not from any other
motive. He has sacrificed his own in
terests by making the run this year,
Just when his time is badly needed in

THEIR CLUB HOUSE BURNED.
But the ssDirty Dozen, are Resourceful
and May win Yet.

TIE "Dirty Dozen" club has received
a blow. Not complete knockout. Oh,
no. They are not wrecked by any means,
Their club house was burned to the
ground last night, and this morning the
only visible remnants are burned cook
stove, previously damaged, some coal
oil cans which served as lockers, while
on the placid bosom of the slough di-
rectlv in front of their erstwhile castle,
floats stove pipe, rising and falling
with the wavelets. Desolation reigns.
But this visible Generalization is mis-
leading, if one imagines it is complete.
The boys have not been reduced to the
final extremity, and there yet remains
to them house luxurious in comparison
to the one burned last night. This
morning the boys manned fatboat and
proceeded to it. They pushed quietly
down the slough into the waste of waters
of the broad Columbia, when they set
sail, and fearing neither wind nor wave,
navigated down the river. past Mill creek
harbor, beyond the o. r. & N. incline,
past the promontory, and then standing
in close TO shore, after reefng the top
gallant and slowing the main mast into
the hold, they directed their gallant
craft into a land-locked basin secure from
pirates under the titles of sheriffs, po-
Iicemen, etc. During the flood of 1894 a
house from above hoated in here, ,and this
the boys have fitted up in style, and
here transact their most urgent business.
In the event the common enemy of
boys, their parents, and more especially
the city and county officers, attack and
raze to the ground this other stronghold,
then they have final recourse, which is
sure of success, though possessing it's dis
advantages. They have two fiatboats on
the slough, and by lashing them together
and building house thereon, they can
rest secure from attack because they are
not on land. eff we build a house ON
the water, they dassen't touch u.s. said
one of them confidently this morning.
So the youngsters are well versed In law,
as we'll as skilled in resource, and they
may win the day yet.

Evangelist wonders at the Hardness of
PendIetOn sinners.


The Crittenton meetings continue to
attract attention among church people
and many outsiders in Pendleton. They
are we'll attended. Perhaps the public
discussion aroused on account OF the
visit of Mr.. Crittenton and his helpers
has given them the needed advertising
and brought ont the crowds. Friday
evenings audience was sufficient to fill
the circuit court room. Evangelist Car
penter, assistant to Evangelist Critten
ton, made an appeal to the people pres
ent to make public profession of their
sins and accept the Christian life. Soft
and low a hymn was sung while the
preacher held his arms forward and
asked the people to rise in their places
and thus indicate desire to become
Christians. No one arose and the evan
gelist looked about in despair and then
uttered these words, in a tone which
showed that he meant them and consid-
cred that he was tslking to hardened
community: ''A man told me upon the
streets of your city today that years ago

that in all my iourneys through the
country between New York and the Pa
cifc coast, 1 have never met with people
who under such influence as this dared
to reject Christ"

the East Oregonian that he had been in.

was going to a place given over to the
devil and so engrossed in worldliness
that the gospel would not be received by
them. Pendleton's La Grande friends

Some anonymous scribbier from
Wasco, writes to The Dalles TIM. that
Hon. w. H. Moore opposed the Rattle
snake road - We can brand this as a
falsehood for the reason that Mr.. Moore
was in favor OF the scheme, and stated
to US that he believed it would be good
thing for Sherman county. His convlc-
tions more than all else, caused us to
stop an argument with certain parties
who brought and aggravated the dis
cussion, and now realizing their animus
we are free to make this statement, be-
lieving that the scrbbler who penned
the ecreed against Mr.. Moore is the
same scandal monger who 'sentertained"
US for purpose. The Dalles Chronicle,
knowing full we'll that Mr.. Moore is in

RUFUS, May II, 1896.
EDITOR CHRONICLE:
In last Saturdays issue of the Times
Mountaineer read letter purpnrting
to have been written by 'Farmer" and
evidently intended to prejudice the
minds of the people against w. H.
Moore, the Republican candidate for
joint senator of Sherman. Wasco and
Gillian counties. "Farmer'' claims that
nothing can be expected from Moore in
the way of legislation tending to give the
people a portage road or any kind of
road that would give them an outlet to
market. Now, such a statement is as
unjust as it is false, and it is quite ap-
parent that the object Farmer" had in
view was to willfully misr, present Mr..
Moore's position on the transportation
question, for campaign purposes and no
other. l live at Rufus, one of the chief
shipping points in Sherman county, and
Mr.. Moore, as president of the Colum bia
Commercial Co., transacted a good deal
of the company's business there last fall,
in fact he was there most of the wheat
hauling season, and 1 know that he was
Adeeply interested in the question of get
ting cheaper freight rates, and even
made several trips to Portland for that
Tpurpose. Furthermore, know that he

ceeded in securing reduction that has
saved thousands of dollars to the people
of this county. 1t is untrue to say that
Mr.. Moore ever opposed the Rattlesnake
4road. He was never asked to support it.
No doubt the writer of the letter in
question, and few others of his ilk,
were SO prejudiced against Mr.. Moore
that they did not approach him at all on
the subject of the proposed road.
During all the time of the agitation OF
the question of building the Rattlesnake
road, never heard Moore utter one
word against it, and was in position
to hear 1t if he ever did so. 1t is silly
Tor "Farmer" to say that Moore was
afraid of the Rattlesnake road diverting
trade to The Dalles. Moore Bros. had
all the trade they wanted, and great
