The Umatilla County Development
league, which is not year old, is proud
of the distinction of accomplishing
very great results during it's short
career. l am proud to say to you that
upon the 30th., day OF October there
will be meeting OF the citizens of
Umatilla and Morrow counties. The
purpose of which will be to meet the
several members of both houses Of orr
legislature. The object of this meeting
will be a visit to the penitentiary at
Walla Walla with a view Of looking into
the feasibility of establishing a sack,
twine or jute mill for the benefit of the
producers OF the state OF Oregon who
have met with severe reyerses on
account of the unreliable quotations up
on that commodity. which has been en-
tlrely under the control OF spectators.
1t ID desired that you send as many re- /.
resentatives to Pendleton upon that
occasion as possible and that you lend
your hearty support and cooperation to
this most important movement.
Hoping to receive favorable reply
from you at an early date.
I am most truly yours,
JAMES JONES, President.

Jury county lands are incInded.

Curry county lands are inclnded.
The reserve covers over 700 900 acres,
or about 81 townships, reaching from
the California line 10 the Southern par
Of Douglas countv, taxing in nearly al
the western half Of Josephine county.
The state is stlected by the creation
of this serve by reason of the fact tina
within its borders are about 80 coo acres
Of unso'd school lands, which the state
can use as base ior the selection OF lieu
Iaud, thereby realizing about S6 to s. an
acre for the land.
Whether the creation of this reserve
Will also open the way for more scrip
ping" is not known here in official cit
cles. The Oregon d Caljfornis Rail
road Company has large amount q
i. .fant lands inside the reserve but the
i upressioD has been general that the
repeal OF the lieu aud act put stop to
the creation Of new ''scrip," !. recent
rAputlcation from the Department of
Interior touches on the subject in such
an ambiguous way as to leave doubt.
The Governor has also received notice
of the creation Of ;ae Fremont forest
reserve in Eastern OtegOn This re-
serve in situated in Crook and Klamath
counties, extending from point about
u miles south OF Bend southwest to tht
Klamath Iudian Reservation. This re-
serve comprises the greater part of Z.
tow ships, extending in irregular form

II and north and south from township
10 to township 33.

The Northwest is now suffering
from the greatest car shortage
ever known in the history of the
country, partly due to the unusual
activity in the rebuilding of Sap
Francisco, but mainly due to the
fact that the business of the
country is growing faster than the
railroads. If the railroads fail to
keep up with the pace, the situa-
f;on cannot be entirely relieved.

Of the voters Of a great state.
The direct primary law, while

tens which was not d sirablA from
the fact that the voice and will of
the people was trampled on. The

effective thai it was an easy
snatter 10 thwart the wishes of the

From the stand of the Optimist,
TIE Gazette would be justified and
might say that it is better to put
up the office of Senator at public
auction where all of the people
have show, then to return to the
old system of private sale where
the people have nothing to say.
The people were emphatic when
they spoke in favor of the law

No one denies the fact that Mr..
Bourne spent money to get the
Kcaaination. No one denies the
faot that every other aspirant for
the office of United States Senator
spent money. If Mr.. Bourne
bought the nomination, every

Roorne to spend money to exploit
his candidacy, then it WAS wrong |

not be helped for the reason that
it is impossible to make a cam
paign without spending money,
and no law can change it.
It is true that Mr.. Bourne will
not suit many individuals. 1t is
also true that the system under

not suit many, but are we to cater

The entire situation was discussed

which may bring about a partial rec
