WHY NOT BRING IT ABOUT?

If the courts rule that the decision
CT the supreme court in the Montana
case applies to the Umatilla reserva-
ton it will bring about great posi-
bilities for Pendleton and for this en-
tire portion of Umatilla county.
Irrigation is what is wanted in this
section. This is admitted by all. 1t
is what Pendleton wants above every
thing else. 1t is what local workers
for the city's advancement have long
prayed for. 1t is what Athena wants
and has tried to get. II is what Wes-
ton wants and is now striving ear
nestly to obtain.
If the reservation water rights are
established it will be possible to bring
q large portion of the reservation un-
der irrigation. If the Montana decis-
ion applies here it will mean that the
water of the Umatilla river and of
creeks upon the reservation may be
used upon the Indians lands. There
will be sufficient water if properly
stored to irrigate many thousands of
acnes. There is money on hand that
might well be used by the government
for the construction of such storage
projects. In the tribal fund for the
Umatilla reservation there is some
thing like 100000 on hand. The
money is of no use at present. 1t
could be utilized in bringing the In
dian lands under irrigation. To irri-
gate the lands would mean to make
them more productive. Indians who
farm their allotments could make
more money than at present. Those
prices than at present. Those want
ing TO sell their allotments could sell
for higher prices. 1t would be a good
thing for the Indians and a good thing
for the white man. 1t would be the
salvation of Pendleton and it would
aid Athena and Weston.
The construction of a storage res
ervoir or Of several Of them would al
so preclude any danger that the irri-
cation of the reservation would in
jUre those further down the stream.
Storage irrigation would mean a
greater summer flow in the river. It
would mean more water for the local
mills during the low water season. It
would mean more water for the ranch
ers below the city. 1t would mean
more summer water for the Furnish
project, the Hinkle project and the
government project. It would help
everybody and injure no one.
Why cannot everybody in this
county from one end to the other join
forces, demand that the reservation
rights be established and that the res
ervation lands be watered. 1t is a
common cause.

THEY SHOULD SPEAK UP.

In a public Statement made during
October, Senator Robert L. owen. of
Oklahoma, and one of the progressive
leaders said
Il believe in questioning candidates
and l believe in candidates frankly
answering on every issue before the
people. This is the only way in which
the people can be assured of what the
candidates stand for. This is the only
way in which the people can hold
candidate to account if he fails to
keep his obligations. A candidate has
no right to receive votes of people
who expect one thing, while he in
tends to deliver them another.
Il think the questioning of candi-
dates is the true method of making
effective the reforms which are es-
sential to human progress, and that
mans constituents should right
fully demand of him to know in writ
ing where he stands on the vital is
sues"
This statement applies to the Pen
dleton mayoralty race. There are
two candidates out for mayor. vet
neither one has said what he will do
or will not do if elected. They
should be frank and tell the people
what their ideas are so that voters
may judge as to which one they want

SPOILING THE CANAL?

Is the ruling of the commerce court
on the question of coast freight rates
a step toward nullifying the effects
Of the Panama canal and a step taken
in the interests of the transcontinen-

conclusion.

hustler 80 far as finding ore is concern
ed. Less than three months ago it
took over the Purcell property, the
west halt OF the south west quarter,
section Ia, 1896, and the first drill hole
put down cut the ore. 1t also secured
an option on portion OF the Selden
lands. northwest quarter OF the north
east quarter section 80, 1876, and we
would not be surprised II ore was ship
ped from this property before the sea-

presentation The all together spirit is

now perfectly clear and are working
with a will TO make the cruise sue

Is Being Accomplished and
Col. Goethals's Prediction
Will Be Fulfilled.

COLON Panama. Oct. -Magnth-
cent is the word which might fitting
ly describe the progress made on
the construction of the Panama canal.
The statement of Colonel George y.
Goethals, chief engineer of the canal,
that the canal would be finished in
September, 1913. or over one year be
fore the date previously announced
for its inauguration, was at first re-
iceived with some hesitation. Now,
however, an examination OF the col
ossal work that is being rushed to
completion in Miraforas. Pedro Mig,
luel and Gatun, and the surprising
way the culebra cut is advanced has
convinced the most incredulous that
Colonel GoethaTs estimate Of compile
ton in 1913 will be borne out.
The point which seems to offer the
greatest difficulties throughout the
whole canal is the cut in the Culebra
hills and this, not on account of engi-
neering problems. but because Of the
many slides occurring from the loose
earth. These slides confuse estimates
as to the number of cubic yards to be
