HIS BACKING ACCUSES HIM.

The fact that the saloons of Port
land are making a vigorous fight for
the reelection of Mayor Williams, is
sufficient evidence that the moral ele-
ments should be on the other side.
The saloons and gamblers are going
into the campaign in Portland to
elect Mayor Williams.
Why?
Is there any need to search for the
reason? Is it not apparent on the
surface?
If his administration is favorable
to this class of people, is it satisfac-
tory to the other class? These are
questions that effect the people of Or
egon not alone in Portland, but in
every village and hamlet in the state.
People are aligning themselves on
the two sides of this moral question
and that is to be the coming issue for
the next few years until the domina-
ton of the liquor element is shaken
off. There are but two sides to the
question. You are either for ol
against better morals.

CURSE OF CONCEALED WEAPONS

If Grover Martin had not practic-
ed carrying a concealed weapon in
his everyday duties as professional
man. he would not now be behind
the bars with a charge of murder in
the first degree held against him.
This unlawful custom is becoming
all too prevalent and a campaign
against it should be made by offic-
ials. 1t Is not necessary for a man
in a civilized community to arm him
self as If he were in the heart of
Darkest Africa or on the water front
in Seattle.
Many a man has been led into seri-
Gus trouble by having a gun upon
him. Many a level-neaded man is
tempted to use a gun at times, if he
has one at hand, when he would not
think of going out after a gun in a
difficulty.
Dozens of boys and men carry guns
in their everyday business and are
thus a constant menace to the COM
munity. Especially is an armed man
a menace IL he has not a cool head
and temper. II is a bad practice. II
is a dangerous custom. 1t causes un-
necessary trouble and cost to the
county and city and unnecessary dis
grace and sorrow to many a WELL
meaning man.

protect the grasp and graft of stock
watering plutocrats and proprietors OF
the trusts.
You have struck some body-blows
to the trusts, Mr.. President, although
you have not yet literally demolished
them. But. for the sake of consist
ency, for the sake of decency, do not
have nasty, cringimg. servile corpor-

NO CORPORATION TOOL.

The Salem Journal. a republican pa
per, makes the following impassioned
plea to the president on the appoint
ment of federal judge:
Whether it is Henry E. McGinn or
not. the federal judge for life should
not be a Hartman syndicate man.
With the Portland papers saying that
the Hartman deal to prevent all
extensions of railroads in Oregon is
renewed for an indefinite period, with
all the Wall street influence exerted
to rivet and copper-fasten this COM
pact of millionaires to prohibit the
development of Oregon; with the pol
icy of strangulation officially promul-
gated, for poor old Oregon's sake,
give us an uncollared man for judge,
Mr.. President. Do not give us cheap
corporation hireling. Do not give us

from making living in his chosen
profession.
The fact is, as Mr.. Piles states, that
the salary of United States senator
is not sufficient to maintain a man
of family in the nations capital, and
Mr. Piles. in returning to his law
practice in this city, is doing nothing
more than scores of other distin-
guished members of the highest law
making body in the land.
1t is. of course, nothing more than
professional jealousy which has
prompted fellow attorneys to insinu-
ate that Mr.. Piles is using official in
fluence to help win cases.
But is it not true that, however sin
cerely NJ. Piles may try to separate
himself from his senatorial garb while
ac ing as an attorney. the fact that
he occupies such an exalted position
will be bound to influence. perhaps
unco nsciously, public officials or a
Jury.
That INSCRIPTIONS men have sought
public positions. even as exalted as
the one Mr.. Piles now occupies, for
the express purpose of using their Of
ficlal influence to build up a high
paying corporation practice there is
no doubt And is it not true that even
proach and his honor unimpeachable
the fact that he is on the payroll of
large corporations is bound to influ-
ence him. unconsciously, perhaps. in
favor of special interests?
And. in a broad sense. is not Sena-
tor Piles perilously close to the preci-
pice? How, for instance, would the
fact that he Is attorney for a local
packing house influence him in SEN
atorial investigation of the beef trust
That Mr.. Piles should appear before
the council as an attorney for a cor
poration is all right. judged by sena-
torial standards. But should he &c
just one step farther and appear be-
fore a department of the federal gov
ernment in behalf of that corpora
ton he would be committing the
crime for which Senator Mitchell. OF
Oregon. was indicted.

Congressman Cushman is out with
a severe roast of Puter, whom he al
leges has perjured himself to be-
smiTch the character of Senator Nit
chell, of Oregon. Cushman says it is
preposterous to believe that Senator
Mitchell is guilty and that the entire
proceeding is dlsgraceful to the state
of Oregon, which has permitted pub
lie sentiment to be formed against
the senator on the testimony of per-
jurer, Puter. 1t will be remembered
that the Oregon legislature worked
itself up to some such a fever heat
as has seized Congressman. Cushman,
and the day after it passed a white
washing resolution. Senator Mitchelrs
own low partner "peacned" on him
and virtually substantiated every
charge made against him. State Sem
ator John L. Rand, of Baker county,
led the movement for the whitewash-
ing resolution, and since mas had little
to say in public about Senator Mitch
ell. 1t might be well for Cushman to
await developments before making
his fervent statements.

VALUE or MILK AS FOOD.

There are scores of users of milk
value as food. Touching this matter
the American Dairyman gives some
facts that will interest many. 1t says.
Comparatively few use whole milk
as a regular diet. If we use it, we
do not do so as freely as its nutri-
tive values and its cheapness warrant
We are content that the infant and
the sick shall have it freely; but we
are prone to look upon milk as a lux
ury for the well. This is a great mis-
take. 1t is the cheapest food pound
for pound that can be used.
1t contains all of the nutritive in
gre lients needed for food, and they
are about in the right proportions for
proper nutrition. These nutrients are
easily and completely appreciated. the
consumption of milk would be dou-
bled; for 1t is a complete and perfect
food and is very economical.
1t will surprise the majority of peo-
pie when they are told that one quart
of milk contains as much digestible
nutrients as are contained in any cne
of the following:
In one pound Of beef chuck.
In one pound of fowl.
In one pound of veal shoulder.
In one-half pound of beef loin
In one-half pound of beef ribs.
In one-half pound of mutton leg.
In nine ources of beef round.
In nine ounces of veal cutletl
ia nine ounces of veal loin.
In TWO pounds of Goldfish.
In two pounds five ounces of solid
oysters.
1t takes two pounds five ounces of
bluefish, or one pound five ounces OF
potatoes to equal one quart of whole
milk in digestible nutrient value.
Now let us consider the cost of fur
nishing the nutrients from one quart
of milk and the other articles of food
we have named. Milk costs from 4
to s cents per quart. One pound OF
meat, its equivalent in nutritive value
costs from to IS cents, according to
the market 1t is bought In, and the
quality of the meat. We see that the
quantity of meat necessary to equal
the nutritive value of one quart OF
milk will cost from two and a half tC
three times as much

The bridge with the longest span in
the world is at present that which
crosses the rushing waters of the
Firth of Forth near Edinburgh, Scot
land. But the central span of the new
bridge now building across the st.
Lawrence at Quebec, is 1900 feet in
length, 30 more than that of the
Forth bridge. The total length of
the latter. however, exceeds that of
the Canadian structure which is to be
1920 feet.

AS the people of Umatilla county
come to understand the profits of
milking for the Pendleton creamery.
more and more of them are beginning
to furnish butter fat. Every day some
farmer orders a cream separator and
announces that he will quit imposing
the burden of making butter upon
himself and family, and will hereafter
send his separated cream to the
creamery. This is one of the most
favorable dairy districts in the west
and the creamery industry must In
time become one of the leading indus
tries. There are entire counties in
the northwest where not pound OF
cream or butter can be produced for

must come from such we'll situated

if the projects could be found which it
could handle. Therefore, we cannot
expect much further development.
This is the time when the whole valley
should get together and work. 1t is
now that our business men should
wake up to the Importance of this mat
ter. 1t is not the time for sharp prac-
tice, or to attempt to get the best of
some one, or of the government. The
The government says just what it will
do, and we know just what we must do.
Our part really needs to be done first,
because the Sunnyside option cannot
be cared for without the adjustment of
our matters, nor can the Indian reser-
walton matter be taken up without this.
Therefore, it is very important that
our people should proceed at once.
The Sunnyside option expires Jan. l,
and unless an extension of time can be
secured, we must adjust our rights by
that time. l would suggest that our
people take up the matter Of the extern
sion with Mr.. Blain. | cannot help but
believe that, with the approval Of the
Sunnyside project by the secretary,
Mr.. Blain will be perfectly willing to
extend his option, possibly one or two
months longer. This is a matter that
our people should take up at once if
they want more time. l cannot say
more than has already been said of the
Importance of this matter to our peo-
pie. Every one certainly appreciates
it. AS your representative have done
my part, except as 1 may be able in
the adjustment of matters which can
be adjusted here, and in this certain.
ly shall not relax any efforts that may
be necessary for success. The respon.
sibility rests now with the people at
home. If there is failure in this l cam
not be blamed.
Some have criticized me in the past
for not having done anything for our
section, l feel now that / have done
more for this section than l have done
or ever can do for any other section of
the state. The people of Bellingham
are determined to raise l,400, 900 to
secure railroad, If the spirit that
animates them could permeate our
whole valley, this matter would be set.

they may have, which will assist you

"The Irrigation Committee, North
Yakima, Wash: Gentlemen was
great pleasure for me to send to you
telegram today notifying you that
the secretary of the interior had APP
proved the Tietan project, and had al.
l0tted therefor one million dollars, and
the Sunnyside project, and had allott-
ed therefor S150,0O0.
It has taken hard work to secure
$3.50, 600 more than the amount in our

therefore hand you a copy of the let
ter from the secretary of the interior,
which will show what has to be done.
That letter we published last week.
Editor. The first, second and sixth
conditions are practically the same.
These are things that will have to be
done by our people. The Sunnyside
and the Indian reservation propositions
are matters largely that are to be adj
iusted here, and | feel that it will be
very easy to take care of both OF these
if our people do their part. 1t would
seem that it ought not to be difficult to
secure satisfactory adjustment of the
fourth proposition. | should think
that our stale officials, when they are
convinced that the secretary means
business. and intends to begin work in
onr valley and state if things are ad-
iusted will not stand ia the way of this
yreat enterprise. do not anticipate
anv trouble la this respect, and would
SUGGEST that our people would take the
matter up with the state officials, and

rotary of the interior assured me un-
eouivocally that he would do every
thing in his power to help us along, to

the areas now irrigated by the
Washington Irrigation company, one
OF the oldest and largest appropri-
ators and users of the Yakima river.
Inc appropriation of this company
is 1850 second feet. The showing
made by the company in the past
apparently legalizes its full appro-
priation, although in August, 1905,
it utilized but G3l second feet. In
the event that it should have desired
to extend its canals and make use of
its full appropriation, subsequent ap-
perpetrators of water who are at
present irrigating lands in other
parts of the valley would have been
deprived of their supply. The po-
sitiOn of the company was exceed
ingly strong, and with large finan-
cial resources for defending its
claims, it stood as a menace to the
entire valley. Until the appearance
of the reclamation service, it seemed
probable that another years short
water supply would certainly result
in extensive litigation, regarding the
result of which nothing was certain
except that it would be bitter, cost
ly, and tedious, and that it was like
ly to be accompanied by physical
violence at headgate division points.
The government plans in regard
to this division of the Yakima valley
contemplated the purchase, enlarge
ment and extension of the canal sys-
TEN, and in connection Herewith the
construction of suitable storage
works at the upper Yakima lakes, so
that besides 5000 acres of company
lands to which water right at
taches, some 10000 acres of other
arid lands may be reclaimed.

the government holds are that the
