4 Correction.

No matter. how much we differ
in-politics from the other fellow,
we are always willing to make
corrections of any statement which
may be a injustice to some one.
And while the actions of Mr..
Chatter in the lower house Of the
legislature are not what:..,a very
large number Of his constituents
think. they should be, still he
should not be condemned for some
things. For instance, during the
last week.or ten days he has been
reported either absent or not vot-
ing on some very important meas
ures before the. house. for which
he.has been termed a dodger.
We have been informed on relia-
bic authority that Mr.. Chatter
has been ill, andss confined. to his
room, a great part of the time the
last ten days, and that accounts
for his not being present and ,,vot-
ing. This statement is made
without the knowledge or consent
of Mr.. Chatter, and..solely for the
purpose of dispelling any
erroneous idea concerning his
actions, resulting from what has
been reported. Give every man
a chance for his white ally.
Square dealing Injuries no one.
Parties who did not vote at the
special election held recently in con-
nection with the building of a new
school building, will be compelled to
register again or they can not vote at
the regular city election next month.
Call on the city clerk and register
tomorrow.

The Times. Herald has felt for
some time that the federation OF
the chauvlri custom here should
be checked. The incident the
first Of the week when one OF our
boys met with an accident that
nearly COS, him an eye shows the
veiousness OF the custom and is
proof sufficient that !, is barbaric
and should be stopped. It is not
confined to the particular friends
OF the contracting parties out for
a little fun, but by organized
gangs that go out to hold up the
groom for all they can get The
mans financial circumstance has
no consideration and tn writer
knows OF instances where these
boys have refused TO enter the
house and partake OF refreshments
like would be expected Of young
men in q civilized community, but
stand outside and demand money
Ii has really become a nuisance
and the city marshal should have
the support of the councilmen to
stop il.

II has been suggested that some
steps be taken by our business
men toward the establishment of
an employment agency in this
city. 1t could be taken up in con-
nection with other business and
made a great benefit. This sug-
gestion is not made with the idea
OF it beng taken up to pay the
promoters, but merely as a con
venience to the many new people
coming here to locate. Not a
few of these would like work
but they don't know where to APP
ply; on the other hand home peo-
Pile are looking for men from
time to time. A place for strang-
ers wanting work to register and
state the class of work desired
would be of mutual benefit.

The Telegram's special cores
pondent from Burns says that the
new settlers here are so anxious
that "land that has been looked
upon as worthless, such as grease
wood land, which does not even
produce good grass, is being tax
en- and is claimed by the settlers
from Colorado and Utah TO be
fine land for growing sugar beets.
II it proves true, Harney Valley
will be the greatest sugar produc-
ing section in Oregon"
One might infer from this cor
respondent that possibly there is
nothing but "greasewood land"
left for settlement in this section.
Such an inference would be a bic
mistake. II people are taking up
that class OF land il is from choice.
not because they have to.

influences he said the speaker was contin-

country to know the facts about the
measure.
Mr.. Tawney objected to the personal
attack on the speaker and said he would
object to further consideration.
ooh, it's not a personal attack on the
speaker replied Mr.. Lever. ITS an out
spoken statement as to where the objec-

and some of his henchmen are blocking
consideration of this bill and by the Gods,

it"
Mr.. Tawney replied that he was not
questioning the motives of the gentle
man from South Carolina, but he was
questioning the language used.
Mr.. Lever tried to make it appear that
the agricultural committee was unani-
mcusly in favor of the bill, but Mr..
Haughen of Iowa, with considerable
warmth, repylled that he had not voted
in favor of the measure and he gave
notice that he would vote against 1t il
the bill should ever get before the house.
You vote against four-fifths of the
good propositions that come before this

against the amendment, which was sus-
tanned, but not until Mr.. Lever had been
heard.
