This was promptly denied by Mr.. Parker,

DEFINING a REPUBLICAN.

The Republicans OF Indiana held
n state convention last week. The
chief appeal Of the plaform was
made on the temperance issue. the
principle Of county option being
strongly indorsed "A new code 're-
viving and simplifying the practice
W. the courts and abolishing tech
nicalities" was demanded - a de-
mand for which late events have
taught Oregon decided sympathy.
a revision Of the tarin was declared
fnf, ON basis that will protect wage
eaTners. the convention asserting
chat the Republicans Of Indiana
Shave never desired higher rate
than would accomplish that pur-
pose.

ve't policies. which are really. after

cago only those who might be de-
Ipended on to fight for the mainten-
ance OF true Republican doctrine
and support real Republican poll
cies. The incidental statement OF
the indianapolis News, of all the
greater value because II was mani
festly so unpremedltated, accurately
defines what constitutes a good Re-
publican In this year OF doubt and
difficulty. A good Republican is one
who lines up with the Roosevelt pol
icies, because the ARE really, after
all, the policies of the party" The
conclusion Is unavoidable that one
who opposes the Roosevelt policies
oppos s the Republican party, since
the Roosevelt policies have become
the party's policies.
Let this test. then, he applied TO
those who. pretending TO be Repub-
lican. seek the distinction OF repre-
senting at Chicago the Republican
party OF the state. Are they loyal
supporters OF the Roosevelt policies,

cies? VIII they support and defend
them faithfully? II these questions

The people of the Upper Project
are now signing up their lands, and
Il is very probable that IL the bids,
or either one OF them, should be sat
isfactory that actual construction
work may be begun on the Clear
Lake Dam this year. A decided eff
fort is being made to get all land
owners to sign up at once SO that
the delay will not be the fault of
the people, IL any delay should fol-
low. Several parties have recently
visited the parties who have not
signed their lands for government
irrigation and chances are that the
required percentage will be secured
within a few weeks.
The local Reclamation Office has
been advised that but two bids were
received on the Clear Lake Dam.
The work is divided into two sched-
ules, the first being the dam proper
and the second the dixie at the lower
end of the lake. The bids received
were as follows:
Mahoney Bros, of San Francisco,
schedule 1, s84,950; schedule 2,
$40, 500; total, $115,770.
Nancy Bros, OF Winnemucca

The contractors bidding on this
work are the same that bid on the

we're the lowest bidders on that con-
tract, while the other contractors
are the lowest bidders in this case.
The bids on the SotSh Branch are
still in the hands of the Secretary Of
the Interior awaiting his action. The

so be submitted to the secretary for

WHAT WAS BANKER ROSS REAL
