LOCAL RIGHTS COME FIRST.

Unless the extension of the UNA
tilla project can be made without in
jury to settlers along such streams as
Mckay and Birch creeks and without
jeopardizing the rights upon the
Umatilla reservation the East Ore
gonian. is opposed to the extension.
Most local people will be.
1t must be plain to all the rights of
the settlers and. of the Indians are
entitled to precedence over the ex-
tension The settlers on Birch
creek, Mckay and the Umatilla be-
tween Pendleton and Butter creek
have been here for years. They own
ranches and are actually residing up
on them at this time and cultivating
them. Those men are justly entitled
70 all the water they need. They
should not only be allowed ample wa
ter for lands they have been irrigat-
Ing but the government should and
could consistently grant them water
for irrigible lands that may not now
be under ditch provided the settlers
agree 10 bring such land under irri-
cation within a reasonable time. The
great aim Of the reclamation service
is to bring land under water. Why is
Il not just as well to irrigate land near
Birch creek or Mckay creek as in the
west end Of the county? Why should
the government go to trouble and ex-
pense to use water down there IL set.
tiers are willing and anxious to use
that water for similar purposes upon
their own ranches
The reservation rights should also
have precedence over the extension
and # has been a source Of surprise
TO this paper that the government at
torneys have not given the reservation
more consideration in connection with
plans for the extension. II is held by
some pretty good authorities that the
Indians Of the reservation have a
right to water any or all OF their all
Gifted lands. Then sssuredly the gov-
ernment should make allowance for
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1911-12-06

the establishment of those rights. The
water should not be taken for the re-
clamation of the extension until it is
known whether or not the govern
ment is entitled to use the water for
for that purpose.
1t is asserted by some people that
there will be ample water in the river
t. irrigate the reservation, meet the
needs of the settlers and carry out
the extension as we'll. Very likely
this contention is true for vast am
cunt of water is now allowed to go
to waste. If there is plenty of water
ali will be lovely. But since there
is some doubt the danger should be
borne by the extension, not by the
territory in this vicinity The govern
ment should look nut fully 70. the
rights in this section and then take
what water may be left for the ex-
tension. But old settlers should not
be robbed in order to provide water
for newcomers.
As for the Stanfield opposition to
the extension that is another story.

EAST AND WEST.

Discussing the trip of the western
governors and the subject of what is
east and what is west the New York
World says:
The Western Governors who have
set out to evangelize the East do not
quite agree as to its boundaries. Gov.
Hawley of Idaho thinks that the East
ends at Pittsburg, and other opinions
variously assign Chicago, Kansas City
and Denver as its Western limit.
No such doubt has ever existed
about the South, the ocation of
which was fixed by Mason and Dixons
line, the Ohio river and the Missouri
compromise. Nor is there any mis-
understanding of the designation
down East" AS respects East and
West, a constantly shifting boundary
line has necessarily caused some con-
fusion. The cowboy of the story
thought he was about as far East as
he cared to be when he got to Chey-
enne, while, on the other hand to
some native-born New Workers any,
thing beyond the North River is West
Indiana, which now contains the
centre Of population, might logically
advance the claim that it is the bor-
Ger state between East and West. and
its production of poems best sellers
ard Broadway drama heightens the
analogy. But in Western opinion gen.
orally the East is where Wall street
and Fifth avenue are, and such 1t is
likely to remain. That Is the part OF
the country a Westerner has in mind
when he takes a trip East" and ii
is assumed to be the main objective
point of the western governors.
