AS the Congressional race nears its
close. Hopkins county has suddenly
and Unexpectedly become one of the
storm centers. with a formidable
and active opposition to Judge c. G.
Givens. the local candidate, led. by
some of the most prominent men in
the district. Ruby Laffoon, candi-
date for State Treasurer two years
ago; John B. Brasher, himself a can
Gidate for Congress in 1903 and now
chairman of the Democratic County
Committee; DR.. |. N. Vickers recent
ly Mayor of Madisonville, and other
prominent men are out against
Judge Givens.
Mr.. Brasher in his paper, the
Journal. says he is not supporting
Mr.. Givens because he is not good
Democrat, saying:
when the editor of The Journal
was the Democratic nominee for
Representative of Hopkins county,
Judge Givens aided Thomas E. Fin
ley, the Republican nominee for said
Office to defeat the Democratic NOM
inee and because of this defeat there
is today a Republican and also a
trust attorney in the United States
Senate, from Kentucky in the per-
son of w. o. Bradley, who defeated
Governor Beckham by one vote, and
If the Democratic nominee for Rep
resentative in Hopkins comfy had
been elected instead of the Republi-
can nominee this would have made
a gain Of two votes in favor of the
Democrats in the Legislature, which
would have secured the election OF
Governor Beckham, therefore the
treache y of Judge Givens to the
Democratic party is responsible for
w. D. Bradley being in the United
States Senate.
If Judge Givens were a loyal Dem
ocrat, the editor Of The Journal
would give him his earnest support
and also the support of The Journa
as matter of county pride, regard,
less of any personal differences. But
he is not a loyal Democrat and the
editor Of The Journal never compro,
misses with the Republican party
Hence he is now opposing Judge
Givens.
These are grave charges, but the
editor of The Journal is prepared to
prove them and these are his reasons
for not supporting Judge Givens."

REVOLT AGAINST GIVENSI
IN HOPKINS COUNTY
Hustler's Estimate Electing Judge c. c.
Givens BY 300 Majority Makes
Hopkins Close County.

DR. /. N. Vickers, ex-Democratic
mayor of Madisonville, says he is not
supporting Judge Givens for Con-
gress because Givens had urged him
to support Tom Finley, the Repubi.
can nominee for Representative of
Hopkins county against John B.
Brasher, the Democratic nominee.
He says that Givens approached him
two or three times during that cam
paign and urged him to stand by
him (Givens) to defeat Brasher with
Finley.
Mr.. Laffoon gives these reasons
for opposing him:
My personal reasons for not sup.
porting Mr.. Givens are as follows:
About the beginning of this con-
gressional campaign, he, Givens,
came to see me and we talked over
personal differences that had existed
between US for years. 1t was un-
derstood between US that Mr.. Givens
could say to those who knew about
our differences that they had been
amicably adjusted and that while
had not pledged him my support in
this race, was not actively opposing
him, and that / would make the
same statement to any friends who
were interested. With this under.

Givens would have nothing unkind
to say about me in connection with
his race, but my hopes were vain, as

numerous friends in various portion,

has repeatedly made about m,
which was uncalled for and is un
true. The statement referred to I

Jim Crowder, another prominent
citizen, gives the statement that Mr.

Monday, on his way to Joseph. In
an interview Senator Oliver express
ed the firm conviction that within
ten years Wallowa county will be
raising as much wheat as the famous
"Palouse" district in Washington,
if not more.
This expression from one we'll ac-
quanted with the potential quail
ties of Wallowa county, coming on
the heels of the persistent advocacy
of this paper, makes us feel good"
1t goes to show the strong probabil-
ity that the wheat production of
Wallowa county will within a brief
term of years prove a vast store
house of wealth for this county
Wherever the wheat raiser has
stopped on the Wallowa county hills,
he has not only made the hills look
like a paradise, but he has gotten
rich enough to beindependent.

annual migrationS. 1t was the sane
historic sod that Chief Joseph and
his followers delighted to turn their
ponies loose upon. In fact it was
the same old uncultivated mould
that was heaved up originally and
formed by disintegration and water
action. But today it waves green
with barley, and the alfalfa to which
the 100 acres were seeded with the
barley, is sprouting vigorously all
over it, and promising future har
vests of a hundred and a thous-
andfold. Today, then, after only
three months of we'll directed indus
try, barren wilderness waves with
barley and sprouting alfalfa and the
sight is as balm to the weary eye Of
the believer in the agricultural fu-
ture of eastern Oregon.
In addition to this, Messrs. Calvin
and Roe are now installing large
centrifugal pump, just arrived, that
Will lift water 12S feet to their high
CT reservoir and 80 feet to the lower
reservoir. From these reservoirs the
entire 100 acres can be irrigated
and will be irrigated.
What Messrs. Calvin and Roe have
done anyone with industry and
little money can do, almost anywhere
in Wallowa county. The land is
here and the opportunities lie just
under the wild sod. Waving fields
in single season can be made to-
supplant barren and profitless pas
ture lands. The "call'' is from
the soil.

LEILA OGBURN
BADLY INJURED
HORSE TAKES FRIGHT AND
RUNS, RESULTING IN SAD
ACCIDENT.

Friday night last, while returning
from the theatre in Enterprise, Miss
Leila Ogburn, youngest daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Ogburn, sustained a
serious injury that leaves the pa
dent still in a very critical condi-
ion. At last reports she was slow
y regaining consciousness, though
)nly at intervals, and remains for
part of the time in stateof insen
Jibility.
Miss Leila and her brother Floyd,
together with a hired workman at
che place, attended the Madison
Square theatrical troupe's show at
the opera house here. On the way
home, in about the neighborhood of
Judge Olmsted's ranch, one of the
hills is reported as falling down.
The man in charge sprang from
the rig to hold the horse which be-
came frightened and went tearing
away and got loose from the man.
The little girl partially sprang and
was partially thrown from the rig in
the neighborhood of the L. ]. Jor-
dan ranch, and struck on her temple
and side. She was picked up un-
conscious and carried into the Jor
dan home, where she remains. She
remained insensible until Saturday
noon, when signs of consciousness
became manifest, but since then she
is unconscious at intervals. Meth
er her brother nor the hired man
were injured.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Ogburn live
on the ranch owned by Deputy
Sheriff Grow, on Alder Slope, where
they have resided for several years.
Their many friends and the friends
Of Leila sympathize with them deep
y in the sad affair, and hope that
he little girl may recover fully and
rapidly.

Landseekers continue to pour in

Saturday the three left for Lostine,
where they will look over the valley
lands, and may possibly continue a
further search through the county.
Wallowa county lands are attract
ing wide attention among those who
seek good lands for a comparatively
small outlay of money per acre.
Within a few years no Wallowa
county lands will remain. The set
tier desiring to secure good land at
a minimum price per acre, is COM
PEELED to do so at once-not in
few years from now. Any climate,
almost, can be found in the county,
owing to the varying attitudes of the
county. This summer should witness,
with proper advertising. constant
influx of settlers, especially from the
East, who desL home locations.

WHAT WORK AND
BRAINS CAN Do
RAW LAND is CONVERTED IN
THREE MONTHS TO SCENES
OF PROFIT.

To the Eastern man who finds an
opportunity in his thiclily settled
section, and incidentally finds about
5000 individuals all rampant and
pell-mell after the solitary oppor-
tunity, it will come as a millenial
promise to see what has been done
here by some of the wide-awake
newcomers who saw raw lands teem-
ing with opportunities. A case in
mind is that of the transformation
wrought by Carl Roe and w. l. Cal
vim, within the brief space of three
months, on a piece of land on the
outskirts of Enterprise. This land
for years lay in pasture-and very
poor pasture at that. AS a matter
of course, all old settlers looked up
on this land as upon all other land of
a similar formation and in a similar
raw state. Naturally, it was pro
nounced and firmly believed, that the
land wouldn't grow anything" 1t

hundred acres of it might feed half
a dozen steers. 1t could grow grease
weed and thistles and wildflowers.
Besides there were hundreds of
thousands of acres OF just such land
in Wallowa county, and if it was
worth anything for agricultural
crops, why hadn't somebody found it
out, generations ago?
But the story of reclamation is
now completely told, and this 100
acres in one field, as broken and
seeded and ditched by Calvin and
Roe, shows a picture of plenty and
promising prosperity that is des-
tined to advertise this section OF
Oregon.
On the first of March the own

Of this kind is increasing here. AL
though there was nothing by way
of a public celebration, and although
the travel and transient trade was
merely at its normal, one night dur
ing the past week six transients
were compelled to seek rooms
wherever they might find them, ow-
ing to the filling of all hotels. This
increase, moreover, is growing. and
