The agitation for prevention of fires
and the publicity recently given the
fire-bug through the efforts of Mr..
Charles E. Keller, State Fire Marshal,

cases must be considered greatly
responsible for such decrease. So
long as this question is being agitated
and called attention to in the press
there will be little of incendiarism in
the State of Minnesota. It is fire.
quently estimated that fifty per cent of
our fire losses are due to incendiarism.

BUSINESS OR POLITICS?

At the court house today the new
board of county commissioners is in
session for the first time. Two men,
bers, Judge Maloney and Commission
er Cockburn, are new at the work,
having been elected by the people in
November 1t will be of interest to
note the work of the board and to
see what economies and improve
ments can be brought about. There
is plenty of room for reform.
The county court is essentially a
business organization. The county
judge has few judicial duties to per.
form. He could be more properly
termed the chairman of the board OF
commissioners which he is 1t is an
administrative office and an import
ant one. Umatilla county at the
present time is collecting and ex-
pending something like 100000 every
year. So the members of the COM
mission have duties of Importance to
perform. If the members of the
court do right they will consider
themselves as the business agents OF
the county and Of all the people of
the county-not of any particular po-
litical cliques or factions. When the
people voted upon the new members
of the court in November they gave
more attention to the business side
of the offices than to the political
considerations involved. This is prov
en- by the fact that they elected a
democrat to the judgeship.
In performing their duties will the
members of the new court act as bus
iness men or as politicians? Time
alone will tell but here's hoping fol

ward. In the meantime the meat
trust and the other trusts still MAIN
tain prices at the top notch and the
managers of the different industries
gravely announce that it is difficult
there should be any reduction in
to conceive why in the near future
there should be any reduction in
prices to the consumers. The trusts
own all the sources of supply, all the
systems of storing non-perishable
commodities and are able to tell the
farmer what he shall take, as well as
to compel the consumer to pay what
they have a mind to ask. And so, we

Secretary Wilson says that the cleo
tions have nothing to do with the late
decline. 1t is the law of supply and

meat. This might be the case if this
law was allowed to exert its influ-

have given the trusts, the law is not

parts of this immense fruit engine.
were composed of large and beautiful
apples, of which thousands were used
in the completion of the work. AT
first a wooden frame-an exact dup
licate of a railway engine-was built,
and all over this We're places apples,
in tasty and artistic patterns. When
all this work was completed there
stood the perfect figure of big ZAP
pie locomotive" Under a brilliant
electric light the work presented
magnificent appearance-fairly daz-
zling. To build such a figure requir-
ed much care, artistic skill, time and
no little expense. The total length of
this fruit engine" is twenty-six feet,
while from the apple roadbed and ties
up to the top of the stack is nearly
ten feet. No detail has ben omitted
in the work. Every appurtenance be-
longing to a real genuine locomotive

AS TO THE EXTENSION.

Pendleton will join in protesting
against the failure of the government
to extend the Umatilla project. Our
protest will probably avail nothing,
it is true. But it costs nothing save
the expense of a few night messages
and some postage stamps. So surely
1t is we'll to make the effort.
The trouble is that Oregon is get
ting into this game too late. The
frenzied work that is being done at
this time by Portland people should
have been done last spring and sum-
rmer. Their work would have been ef-
.fective then. but they would not help.
AT that time the 500, 900 had not
! been appropriated and We had a
chance to get our share. There were
plenty of sound arguments why the
project should have been extended.
1t was a meritorious undertaking
q and is yet. This paper refuses to
believe the thing was defeated upon
, its merit. The word goes out that it
was turned down because it was a
new project But 1t is not a new
project; II Is an extension and extern
act.
In the view of the East Oregonian
there is an Ethiopian in the wood
pile" In other words the extension
of the Umatilla project was opposed
by some influence that has not been
disclosed. Why the extension was
opposed this paper is unable to say
Perhaps there are people who thought
it would have cast too much glory
on the oregon senator's had the gov
ernment done reclamation work in
Oregon. Maybe these men wanted
Oregon to be overlooked intention
ally for time so they could rush
forward and do something after the
senators had seemingly failed. Again
maybe the people who are now howl
ing the loudest because Oregon was
overlooked don't care a snap IL the
state is sighted but are merely cry
ing out so as to place the senators
In poor light. Who knows?
At any rate it will be interesting
to watch events and see what hap
: pen. 1t is gratifying at least to have
Portland people working in our. behalf
and enlisting such men as James ].
Hill in the cause. few months ago
the Hills were not doing anything of
this sort. At the time our local COM
mittee was striving hard to induce the
government to extend the Umatilla
project Louis w. Hill was openly fight
ing the reclamation service. He was
chasing over the state making speech
ee in which he shamefully slandered
and abused the service. He had
words of bitter scorn for governmental
reclamation. He practically advised
! that Oregon kick the reclamation ser

FOLLOWING THE FOOL"

Montana, the home of Clark and
DAILY and of Thomas H. Carter, is
now to join the states that are fol-
lowing the political lead of Oregon.
To the Montana legislature Governor
Norris has sent a message in which
he asks for the adoption of the direct
primary and of the "Oregon plan" for
electing United States senators. If
half the things that have been pub
iished regarding the political history
of Montana are true then it is time
that state was striving for the direct
primary and for other reforms. Mon
tana politics has been so rank that it
has "smelled to heaven" The politi-
cal life of that state has been shame
fully corrupt and the influences that
have been in control have been as
deadly to good government as the
arsenious gases from the smelters at
Butte are deadly to vegetation in that
vicinity.
Now that Montana has awakened
and is trying to get out of the politi-
cal mire it is significant and crafty
ing that the governor looks for lead
ership to Oregon-the state that has
been dubbed by the machine politici-
ans of this state and abroad as the
Fool of the Family
