PEOPLES FIGHT IN HOUSE
OF REPRESENTA- TIVES

Is no reason why he should have
this inquisitorial power. Eventually
he will be bound to recognize any
member entitled to the floor.
The fight is on and will be on
every day of the coming congress.
Don't imagine that this adoption of
the rules postpones the fight for
two years more. There are several
ways in which the speakers power
and the power of this system can
be broken. 1t is only necessary that
the public UNDERSTANDINGS they are
beginning to understand-on what
this power rests and the uses to
which it is put. 1t is within the
party's power at any time to re-
move the speaker from the rules
committee. ! believe that 1t will be
regarded by the party as political
necessity to take this course be-
fore the next congressional cam
paign is on.
And there are other ways. Just
what these are those who are try
ing to maintain the speakers pow
er will discover at their leisure
This is winning fight. There is
not a man among the 81 insurgents
who is not glad that he took the
course he did. There is not one
that does not feel that he has
fought winning fight. There is not
one who will not keep the battle
going. And there is daily evidence
that our ranks will be recruited
from other members who have felt
the pressure of the people in their
districts. t.- ~ ~ .

SALEM, Ore, March 27.-Work
on an irrigation project embracing
from 10000 to $4,000 acres Of land,
some with IA miles of Baker City,
will be started Immediately. For
weeks the state engineers office
has been working secretly on
plans. The land board asked the
government to withdraw the tract
from entry so 1t would be avail
able. This is already done. 1t is
not decided whether the tract will
be reclaimed under the Carey act
or by the government reclamation
service.
The tract is oen of the most val
liable in eastern Oregon. The prof.
ect will reclaim a large tract now
practically arid. It lies in the
lower Powder valley, townships z

REFUND COIN #
SALOONS WIN

The appeal by the country saloon
keepers from the "dry" verdict
rendered at the recent township
election, will come up for a hearing
before one of the judges of the su-
prior court next week.
IL the court should hold that the
consideration OF the saloon ques.
tion was improperly before the vot-
srs, as contended by the counsel
tor the saloon men, it is probable
that the 10 saloons in the county
closed by the dry" vote of the
townships will be reopened.
In case the court holds that the
matter was rightfully before the
people, the county commissioners
must refund to the saloonmen an
amount equivalent to the unused
portion of the license.
The law requiring this refund
was passed by the last general as
sembly and is intended to protect
saloonmen who are put out of
business by township option before
the expiration of their licenses.
The prospect Of having to return
several thousand dollars of unused
license fees Is not pleasing one
70 the county commissioners, who
are inclined to believe the best pol
Icy would have been to have each
saloon continue In business until
their license had expired.
II the courts will grant the right
70 continue until the expiration of
their licenses there will be no
further appeal by the saloonmen.

GRAVES HAS
A FIGHT ON

The chances of Jap P. Graves
securing his franchise across the
Fourth ward for his stub for the
Spokane, Portland & Seattle are
most remote, and the general at
.dtude of the council in the COM
mittee of the whole was antagon-
istic to the move.
The best indication of this was
when Councilman Robert Dalke
passed the lie to Jay P. Graves in a
point blank manner when Mr..
Graves insisted that he was asking
for a franchise on the same terms
rs was granted the Northern Pa
eific, o. R. & N. and other lines.
Oalke pointed out that the rail-
roads did not ask for wholesale va
cations and the use of the streets
tor their lines, but came in over
private property. Dalke favored a
e5 year clause, while Graves
sought a perpetual franchise.
The attitude of the council
seems to be that the franchise
should be for a limited time only,
and that If the company gets the
use of the streets a big price
should be paid for the privilege.
Mr.. Dalke also raised the point
that the company asked for two
lines west of Division street, and
evidently chose to elect which
route was considered preferable.
