PROTECTING THE PUBLIC.

In an interview in Portland a few
days ago Clifford Pinchot outlined the
policy of the conservationists very
well with the following;
For years Congress has been
granting private interests rights in
perpetuity for the construction Of
dams and the development of water
power on public land without impos-
ing any special conditions under
which those privileges shall be op-
Grated. In the public domain these
rights are being acquired by merely
filing on the land. Recognizing the
wonderful value of this resource,
keen-sighted capitalists are rapidly ac-
quiring it. Unless this practice is
checked, the disposition of the water
power of the country promises to be
a repetition of the history of the other
natural resources of the country, ex-
cept that in this case the control Of
this resource will become the greatest
OF all monopolies.
"In no sense are we preventing the
development of water power. On the
contrary. we are very strongly in ia
yor of the development of this re-
source. What we are insisting on is
that the interests of the public be pro-
tected by imposing limitations fair
alike to the public and the interests
which are acquiring this power for de-
velopment purposes. We believe in
the development of these powers by
private individuals but think all such
projects should be under government
supervision"
What could be more fair or more
reasonable than this? Do not the
natural resources of the country prop
erly belong to all the people? Then
why should a few men be allowed to
acquire control Of all the water pow
ers, the coal lands and the timber
lands?
The acquisition by individuals Of
power sites, coal land and timber land
would not be so Objectionable if the
rights acquired remained with the in
dividuals. But individuals cannot
utilize these things. The average
man cannot develop power site,
engage in coal mining or In the man
ufacture Of lumber. So the entry
man is forced to sell out to corpo-
ration that can. He usually sells his
right for a small fraction OF its real
worth. Thus the coal beds, timber
land and the water power becomes
monopolized.
With the natural resources that yet
remain in the hands Of the govern
ment there is but one sane course TO
take-the government should retain
control until provision Is made for
development under such restrictions
that the public will share equitably in
the benefits to be derived.

KEEP ON DRILLING.

The finding of artesian water at
Athena is an event of decided import
ance. Though a sufficient flow has
not been secured at this time to meet
the needs of the city yet it is conf
IDENTIFY believed that plenty of water
will be found
If artesian water can be found al
Athena it may be found elsewhere in
this county and in other parts OF
eastern Oregon. Within few years
there may be scores of artesian wells
in Umatilla county. The effect OF
such wells upon the country would be
50 beneficial as to be almost inesti-
mable.

toward Col. Wood, editor of the Wes-

mayhap they will be within reach OF

it be great sport to take a dip into

FIELD DOESN'T NEED SPRING

Al G. Field is a great sportsman
Every time he visits Brunswick he
enjoys a little outing of some kind.
When here last year he shot over
the traps with the local gun club. He
is somewhat of an expert on blue
rocks, and always makes good scores.
Yesterday members of the club
again invited Mr.. Field to join them in
a shoot, but he very courteously de-
clined, announcing that he wanted to
go out on the river and get some of
those marshhens. The minstrel king
was informed that this sport could
only be enjoyed on spring tides, but
the tides didn't cut any figure with
him, and with negro, gun and plenty
of shells he went out

spent in the marsh and when Mr..

Arrangements are all completed to
begin on Monday morning the great
sale of the season at A. Zelmenovitz' 5
dry goods store on Newcastle street.
The entire winter stock is now open
ed and must be sold, regardless of
profits. ghis store has taken advan-
tage of Sle early season necessities
of its Customers, and has followed
the custom of reducing prices the
fist of the season-selling out the
seasons stock at the beginning of the
season instead of holding up prices
until the close of the season, and
thus trying to force sale by reduc-
ing prices. In this way the custom
ers have the advantage of the very
lowest prices when they need the
goods and must buy.
A. Zelmenovitz is offering some re-
markable bargains for two days only.
The popularity Of his sales assures
the success of this, which he intends
