miles west of Pendleton for the Pine
Creek Irrigation company. whose in
cJrporators are Chris Bowers and

franchise covering the waste waters
from the Milton. Freewater and Hud-
son Bay ditch. and have also the
privilege of enlarging the entire
length of this ditch to increase the
volume. The incorporators own most
of the land to he covered. The eX-
tension will follow the hills, forming
the south boundary of the Hudson
Bay country, and will be twelve
miles long. Its discharge will be
about five miles below Touchet,

LETTERS TO EDITOR
The Labor Situation in BIocton.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
In view of the wrong impression liable
to be created by reports of affairs in
Blocton, your correspondent has been re-
ouested to make the following statement
Of facts in regard to the labor situation
here:
1t has been stated that the sheriff had
sworn in number OF deputies and that
the Tennessee company had shipped in
a large quantity of guns and ammunition,
intimating that a state of disorder and
lawlessress prevails, and that violence Is
expected.
AS a matter of fact, up to this time
there has been absolutely no disorderly
conduct on the part of the miners and
Sheriff Crawford stated to parties here
that he reluctantly granted the COM
pany's request for deputies. believing
such a course to be unnecessary.
On may the miners and a large num-
Der of citizens of Bloeton held a mass
meeting at which resolutions We're pass
ed requesting the company to remove the
present superintendent. Mr.. w. 8. Lang.
It may be said that the charges against
Superintendent Lang consist of alleged
discrimination of labor, abusive conduct
towards employees, chiefly, and 1t is claim
cd that the charges can be substantiated
The Tennessee company declined to set
any time for the investigation of these
charges as presented to them by a COM
mittee of miners.
The position was taken by Mr. w. r..
Farley a member of the national board
of United Mine Workers. that II these
charges could be sustained the miners
were perfectly justifiable in disseminating
work under the management of MIR.
