ToRus met defeat here to Thurs
day at the hands of a fast Augusta
team. The game was fast and close un-
til the seventh inning, when the yisl-
tors made three runs on errors In the
eighth, Craig went into the box and
three singles netted them three more
runs. In the ninth the left fielder
muffed fly OF Parquette's, and the
two bagger of Cooper'S scored him.
Togus sot their runs in the fourth,
when Craig hit to deep left for hom-
er. and IN the fifth, Reynolds being
safe ON a missed third strike, Lizotte
hit safe, Kirk hit to right, scoring
Reynolds. Lizotte scoring next on a
passed ball. staples scored Kirk on a
single, but was thrown out at second.
Gould flied out to short. Craig hit a
long fly to center, which was dropped
by Stafford and Hopkins put up one for
Leighton. s,...
Both teams PLAYED fast 'bsffsan ND Only

O; the Aldrich banking plan has one
important qualification, says the New
York World It should not, he says,
permit bank in the Central Reserve
Association to hold stock in any other
bank His belief is that American
conditions are permanently opposed
I any semblance of branch banking.
This might serve to make the plan
more attractive to congress, but its
popularity among bankers would not
likely be increased. If they could not
more than at present put the small
institutions into the control of the
large, subordinate country credit to
that of two or three big cities and
forge chains of banks for speculative
purposes, then must the magnificent
work of the Aldrich plan begin to di-
minish in their eyes. This fair and
unworked garden of combination
which they have tried vainly to break
into through the plan devised by the
National City Bank would be closed
to them tighter than ever.
Still, there will be left for conso-
lation the elaborate machinery pro-
yided for a centralized control OF
American banking credit The am
everything in the business might
find a reasonable degree of satisfac-
eV erything without ownership. 1t is
something to be looked out for in the
/ perfecting of the plan.

KEEP THE PROMISE.

1t is very proper of course for local
people to agree to celebrate the lay
ing of the corner stone of the branch
hospital building. 1t will be an event
worth celebrating.
But Pepdleton can best show its
appreciation of the branch asylum by
doing its duty by the new institution.
The chief duty OF the city towards
the branch asylum is to provide the
institution with an abundant supply
OF pure water. When the branch asy-
lum was located here local people
gave assurance that a gravity water
system would be forthcoming. 1t is
up to the people of the city to keep
that promise and a further reason
for keeping the promise is the fact
that local people themselves want
mountain water.

A BEAN IN MCoURTs EYE.

John McCourt is credited with
speech before the state bar associ-
alton upon the subject of Duties of
the lawyers of the present day. in
which he set forth his personal views
on several current political subjects.
But people in this section would
like to have something from Mr.. Nc
Court ON the subject of the duties of
the United States attorney for Ore
gon in the matter of establishing wa
ter rights on the Umatilla Indian res
ervation.
Upon the Umatilla reservation are
something like 1000 Indians, men,
women and children. Through their
reservation flows the Umatilla river
q stream which if properly utilized
could double or treble the produc
tivity of the Indian lands. The In
dams have a right to this water un-
der the terms of a treaty and Mr.. Nc
Court says so himself. But their
lands have gone unwatered for nrany
years and are unwatered now be-
cause the Byers milling company
former client of John McCourt's-
claim the right to all the water and
has bluffed and bulldozed those who
have tried to use water upon reser-
Sation lands.
During the past year William Cald-
well, a reservation renter, has been
waging a fight to establish the right
TO use water from the river on In
dian lands. 1t is a fight in which
the Indians are much more interested
than is Mr. Caldwell. 1t is a fight
that means a million dollars to the
reservation Indians if it means a
cent The United states government
is the official guardian of the redmen
and should be upholding their legal
rights John McCourt is the federal
attorney for this district and he is
the man who should be doing the
work.
Mr.. Caldwell has gone 10 the Unit
ed States attorney for aid and he had
a right to expect aid. But it has been
absolutely refused. Instead Of assist
ing in the suit Mr.. McCourt virtually
snubbed Mr.. Caldwell. and has de-
clared, so Mr.. Caldwell says, that he
will not molest the Byers right un-
less he has to do so. He has how
ever seen fit to notify the city of Pen
dleton it cannot take water from the
reservation for municipal purposes
because of the governments early day
treaty with the Indians. In other
words he is enforcing the treaty
rights against this city but not
against his former client, the wealthy
milling company.
This is the position which Mr.. Nc
Court occupies upon this subject II
is the light in which he stood when
he gave advice so freely to his fell
low lawyers in Portland the other day
and criticised among other things the
Roosevelt prosecution OF trusts.
