NO MONOPOLY OF, RESERVES.

Since the meeting of stockmen of
eastern Oregon at Sumpter a few
weeks ago, cattlemen Of Cmatilla
county who have ranged in portions
Of the Blue mountains forest reserve
adjacent to their homes, for long
periods, complain that their range
has been allotted to sheepmen and
that they have either been removed
to far distant parts Of the reserve
where they have never before rang
ed, or else are shut out entirel'.
This looks like a monopoly Of the
forest reserves for the sheepmen and
is strictly contrary to the regulations
of the department of agriculture in
the management of the reserves.
Regulation No. 46 of the use
Book" for 1906, which regulation is
now in force and has been in force
Knce the range leasing system was
adopted, says:
Applicants for grazing permits In
forest reserves win be giver prefer
ence in the following order:
"(a) Small nearby owners.
persons living in or close to the
reserves whose stock have regularly
grazed upon the reserve range and
who are dependent upon its use"
The same regulation goes on to say
that after all of this class Of appli'
cants have been provided for, then
and not until then, shall other appli-
cants be considered.

TO WHOM IS THE CREDIT DUE?

In an editorial ridiculing William
]. Bryan and his reform measures, T.
7. Geer, editor of the Pendleton Tri-
bune, takes all the credit to his own
party for the reforms in popular legis-
lation which have come to Oregon in
the past few years.
The facts are that every one Of
these reforms was bitterly fought and
ridiculed by the leaders of Mr.. Geer's
party in Oregon, including himself,
when they were suggested by the
populists.
Now that the people have adopted
them, Mr.. Geer claims them as tri-
umphs of his party and ridicules Mr..
Bryan who has always stood for these
principles.
The East Oregonian remembers
when Mr.. Geer referred to the refer
endum. now in force in this state, as
the "referen- dunn -dun," and ridicul-
ed the idea of such measure ever
being adopted by the people of Ore
gon.
Mr.. Bryan has always stood fer
popular government and his princi-
pies are being appropriated annually
by the republicans who see in them
a remedy for the avils Of republican
policies of the past.
Mr.. Roosevelt, an excellent man.
has been opposed by powerful ele-
ment In his own party in enforcing
MIR. Bryan's principles in his admin
istration.
Let US give Bryan credit for what
10 due him, at least.

TRAGEDY OF THE DESERT.

In a fight for water, which meant
life to them, out on the Arizona desert
Friday, one prospector was wounded
and the owner of the waterhole with
its slender and insufficient supply of
water, In that barren region priceless,
was killed, says a dispatch from Ell
Paso.
After two weeks of prospecting for
gold on the desert, two brothers and
Lynn Desplain, nearly perishing from
thirst, came upon a waterhole known
as Bears wells" 25 miles from Sa-
lone, Arlz.
An old man named Jones had taken
possession of the waterhole and for
bade the prospectors filling their
empty kegs. Refusing to obey him,
continued to replenish their supply
from the hole, when Jones seized his
rifle and opened fire on them and the
fight begah. When 1t was over Jones
was dead and Bill Desplain was badly
wounded.

THE ONLY WAY.

No unwelcome tasks become any
the less unwelcome by putting them
off till tomorrow. 1t is only when
they are behind us and done, that we
begin TO find that there is a sweetness
to be tasted afterwards, and that the
RENE mbrance of unwelcome duties un-
hesitatingly done is welcome and
pleasant Accomplished, they are full
Of blessing and there is a smile on
their faces as they leave us. Undone,
they stand threatening and disturbing
our tranquility, and hindering our
communion with God. If there be
lying before you any bit or work from
which you shrink, go straight up to
1t and do It at once. The only way to
get rid Of 1t is to do it.-Alexander
MacLaren.

but the enforcement of the regula-

contrary to this spirit.
The East oregonian has heen furn-

cattlemen Of Umatilla county who
own land adjacent to or in the vicin-
ity of the Dark Canyon district in
the Blue mountains forest reserve,

range for many years and in most of
the cases have used no other range.
These men are hCmeowners, home

in Umatilla county and whose use of

they were building up the cattle in

MUST SERVE THE PEOPLE.

The people of the United States will
not complain because the members of
the United States senate voted an in
crease in their pay to $500 per year.
The large duties that rest upon men
who have capacity to be senators for a
nation as progressive and prosperous
as ours is sufficient justification for
the increase in pay.
There is, however, one thing about
which the American people are going
to be more particular in the future
than they have ever been heretofore,
and that is to see that the service for
which they are paid is actually rem
dered.
The American people have not only
the best but the exclusive right to the
entire service of every man elected to
either branch of congress, and they
are unwilling that part of this serv-
ice and probably the best part OF II
shall be given to corporations in which
its legislative representatives are in

HOW NEBRASKA WOMAN
BEAT GRAIN TRUST.

From Platte Center, Neb., comes a
story to the atlanta Journal, which
tells of the life-work of an intrepid
woman "trust-buster," Mrs. Kate Ke-
hoe. After years of competition with
the Nebraska grain trust, Mrs. Kehoe
was still glorying in her independence
when the trust was forced to dissolve
by the interstate commerce commits
sion, and in the proceedings she was
one of the most important witnesses
against the trust. "She is on deck
vet" we are told, "doing a business of
not less than 100000 q year" The
dispatch continues:
But she had hard fight of it. How
close she was pressed is only now
coming to light. She thanks the 10y
atty of the farmers hereabout for the
victory.
Mrs. Kehoe Is a widow who has
lived here since 1883. Her husband
was an accomplished business man.
who taught her his work before ne
died, and she continued it with sue
cess.
But this woman was not allowed to
conduct her business in peace. She
had to reckon with the Nebraska grain
trust It began picking" on her 10
years ago. She was warned to get
into the trust The feminine in her
made her determined not to. Warm
ings given by agents and in letters
were ignored, and then she found she
could not get cars when she wanted
them from the Union Pacific. How
ever, the freight department of that
road heard from her so persistently
that she was able to get some cars,
enough to keep her business going,
although it CALLED her to see her trust
competitor across the tracks appar-
emily getting cars without difficulty.
The next move of the trust was to
bid up the grain at her depot, offering
about l cent higher than the Omaha
prices, which were the ones that pre-
vailed. Mrs. Kehoe was compelled
to have the quotations wired to her
several times day to keep tab on the
market, but this did not enable her to
bid ruinous prices for grain.
For quite while she simply existed

selling it to brokers at points as re-
mote as Memphis, Chicago and Kan
sas City.
The fact that she still clung to the
business made the trust desperate
and she was again besought to enter
the combination.
The fight had been going on for
over two years when what looked like
a Knockout blow for the gritty widow
came. A fire destroyed her storage
houses with their contents of grain
What caused this fire is a mystery tc
this day.
Mrs. Kehoe's answer to this disaster
was characteristic. In a few days the
carpenters were putting up the frame
work of a new elevator. She redou
bled her attention to business, buying
early and late and making promp
settlements with the farmers and Civ
ing them a square deal all around.
For their part they gave her al
support possible. They began to make
1t point to help her down the trust
Year in and year out she kept up tn,
fight, sometimes even losing none,
and drawing upon her implement bus
iness to bolster up her grain trade
In its arrogance the trust aroused re-
sentiment all over the state and {
great exposure of it was made by for
mer agents.
