THE OLD, OLD STORY
No Vacant Lands in the Vicinity Of Ambrose but Many Good
Quarters Being Held by "Tra0sients" Who Are
Menace and Drawback to the Country.

Ambrose, N d., April 19, 1907
Editor Bowbells Tribune:
Dear Sir AS numerous letters being almost daily
received by parties here, many of these letters coming
through the Bowbes postoce asking about vacant land
in this vicinity and what the chances would be of
ing good homestead it would hardly appear out of place
to make general reply through the columns of your val
liable paper especially nasmuch idea to pre-
vail that there is still less vacant government
land in this vicinity The u.s. anything that is worth
the taking has long been filed on but that is not to
say that there is not large quantity of land being held
on the slmsest possible pretext homesteads and in
1act several good quarters are being held by people living
not far from Bowbels who have in no sense complied
with the homestead law in cultivation otherwise. These
lands subject to successful contest and while the
writer has frowned down the idea of contesting
homestead where the homesteader has been doing his
BEST even under adverse circumstances to comply with
the law, and has in slight particulars failed through
no fault of his yet do believe that contest under
circumstances which know to exist here is justfabe
and confidently look forward to lots of it. Some excel
lent quartes filed much than six months back

POLITICIANS

There is a no more honorable
calling in the world than that of a
politician. A citizen who is not a
politician is not a good citizen.
Every man should be politician
and every man should be his own
politician and should belong to him.
self. This fact has never been SO
thoroughly impressed on our minds
as it has during our brief sojourn
at the state capitol. 1t seems to
us that individualism is on the
throne and public welfare is on the
ash heap. The only way that any
measure has been passed so far is by
dicker. "You vote for my measure
and / will vote for yours" has been
the slogan. Public veal and well
fare does not seem to cut any figure.
"You scratch my back and I will
scratch your belly" is the rule.
There are score of meritorious
measures pending that are liable to
fall by the wayside because some
individual or local interests may,
or it is thought, may be injured.
Oh! for Lincoln, William Lloyd
Garrison, or Wendell Phillips in
the Minnesota legislature. Well
can our citizens cry aloud for a
leader who can rise above locality
and personal desire.

MURDER MYSTERY DEEPENS.
Horrible Crime I'm Marion County Is
Still Unexplained.

The murder of Mrs. Moore at Buena
Vista, Marion county, is still enshroud-
ed in mystery, and there seems to be
absolutely no motive for the crime,
says the Salem Journal. How it was
committed and when, seem plain
enough, but what purpose moved the
fiend who ruthlessly murdered the
crippled and helpless old woman is a
profound mystery.
Deputy Sheriff Mintor describing the
matter. saws he is convinced the first
attack was made with three-corher'
ed rock as the weapon, as such rock
was found on the floor at the dead
Noman's feet. The husband says 1t
was used for holding the door open.
Mr.. Minto thinks that whoever COM
mitted the crime picked up the rock
! ana struck his victim IN the face with
II. the sharp edges striking the bridge
| of the nose. which is crushed, and
then driven with great force, crushed
| through both cheek bones, which are
literally smashed, moveing under the

When the woman fell the murderer
picked up the knife and make sure oi
his victims death by making two
slashes across her throat. The cuts
extend from ear to ear, and are clear
" distinct and separate, though they
run together at one end. Sheflfl
Mimic feels certain these cuts were
made after the woman had been feilet
with the rock as, while there had Deer
a great flow of blood, there was not

Echo, Sept. 10.-At a meeting OF
the city council held Saturday eve
ming several important matters were
briught up for consideration. Owing
TO the resignation of a. L. Esteb as
mayor, John Dorm. who has been a
member of the council for some
time, was appointed to act as mayor
until such time as an election would
be held, and E. H. Brown was ap-
pointed to act as city recorder to
I'LL the vacancy caused by the resig-
nation of H. b. Gillette. who has
been recorder for some time.
The present excellent weather is
good for wheat hauling and all farm
work. The harvest is complete in
this vicinity, and fall work is begin
ming in earnest.
Richard Jones has returned from
Salt Lake city. where he had been
for several weeks for the benefit of
his health.
1t is understood that Mayor Esteb
and family will probably spend the
winter in California. Mr.. Esteb has
rented his home place here for a
period of several months.
Considerable wheat is being stored
in the warehouses of the Henrietta
Milling company at this place. In a
short time the mills will start grind
ing on the new wheat being brought
in.
Work on the new span across the
Umatilla will soon be under way
which will make the bridge more
safe for future floods.
1t is reported that no pains are be.
ing spared to make a good displa,
of the various fruits and stuffs raised
in the Echo country for the comm.
district fair.
School opened.
The public schools at this plac,
opened yesterday morning with
good attendance, and it is understood
that the increase in scholars is grea
enough to justify the services of an
other teacher at once. The following
corps began yesterday: Professo
