THE SETTLERS RIGHTS.

Pilot Rock, Ore, Nov. 80, 1911.
Editor East Oregonian:
l notice you are taking a great in
terest in securing water to irrigate the
lands on the Indian reservation for
the poor Indians, who do not seem to
want 1t, as it seems they have made
little or no use of same up to this
time, and then only when some white
renter does the work for them. But
you have little or nothing to saw in
regard to the governments action in
haIing all water users up in court, AS
criminals, for using more than two
and one-half acre-feet of water
which the government fxes as the
maximum amount on land that is, and
has been. unGer ditch for years, and
on which people built homes and
spent money on to develop. I have
but eight acres of land under culti-
yation at the present time, and am
trying to make an honest living for
myself and family on same. Do you
not think l should have all the water
need for this land? / am irrigating
through ditch taken out 16 years
ago, but it seems the government has
bought out some old waterright or
other in some ditch started in 1894
or thereabouts, and although they
have never made any practical use Of
same, they claim prior rights to all
water in the tributaries of the UNA
tilla river. Myself and hundreds of
others who must irrigate their land in
order to make living must either
hire lawyers and stand court expenses
or submit to the governments arbi-
trary allowance of one-half miners
inch flow Of water per acre. AL
though we know it to be insufficient
to raise maximum crops. Is this a
square deal Would II not be better
vo'rs uD in the foothills and along
these streams, to insure US water dur
ing he entire season for all land now
under ditch, and also that could be
irrigated in the future, than to cut us
down TO scant supply Of water for
land now under ditch, leaving US
nothing for future improvement? We
know Oregon has some claim on the
money in the reclamation fund but
II 1t is to be used in taking the water
from people now using same. and
could use more If properly stored, and
poring 1t in the said, it were better
10 have the reclamation service use
It in some other state, for Il we are to

.ENFoRelNe SUNDAY LAW.
obliuins Man Who Sold Tickets for
: chiidrsn's Entertainment Fined e
s. and Costs.

Wednesday morning in police court
Oliver 6hArker was arraigned before
Deputy Judge James A. Shea, charged
with violating the Sunday law last
Sunday in selling tickets for secular
entertainment in Loomer opera house,
that was presented by a cast Of ANA
tours fer the benefit of st. Mary's
church. He entered plea of guilty.
Prosecuting Attorney e. Frank Bug
bee stated the circumstances to be
unfortunate, as the entertainment was
put on by party of young people for
a worthy object, the money raised to
be used to defray expenses incident to
st. Mary's school, that is run in con-
neetion with the church.
Since. the strenuous objection and
complaints entered by the w. c. T. U.
and others against running moving
pictures on Sunday evenings. the stand
has been taken that no secular per-
Grated on Sundays, and the case was
simply brought to establish q prece-
dent. In the particular case of Mr..
Sharker the conditions were unfortu-
nate. as he had gone to the opera
house with the intention of witnessing
the performance, but was asked upon
his arrival il he would sell the tickets
in the box once. which he did. Mr..
Bugbee said that the state would be
satisfied with a small fine. The court
therefore imposed fine of 81 and
costs, amounting to $3.50, which was
paid.
In all probability, II anyone else at
tempts to run similar entertainment
in the future not only the ticket sell
er but everyone connected with the
cast and even those attending the
prosecution may be hailed into court,
which could have been done in the in
cident just closed.

the Baptist church was held Tuesday
evening in the church vestry. Reports
of every society connected with the
church were read to the meeting and
each one reported that cash balance

with. This was most gratifying to the
assembly as was also the fact that the
church itself was free from debt and
could report as the various societies
had la relation to the financial stand :
ing. This is a remarkable record In
asmuch as the church has given more
during the past year for the mission
airy budget than in any year previous.

BAPTIST CHURCH sTEEPLE
STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
"wednesday Nights Thunder Storm
Did Considerable Damase-Power
Plants Out Of Commission.

The severe thunder storm Of We'd
nesday night between 7.30 and 945
o'clock did considerable damage in and
around Willimantfc. The city was in
complete darkness at 7.45 O'clock. when
the lightning put the plant of the I'm
cas- Power company, which supplies the
city, out of commission. The Will
mantle Gas and Electric company's
local plant was badly handicapped, as
the big boiler had just been prepared
for the inspector and the fires were
drawn, leaving but q small boiler, with
only 10 pounds of steam on, at the time
the lightning did its damage. The
residential and business circuits were
switched on to this boiler and there
was light for about Is minutes. But
the load was more than the little boiler
could carry, and the city was soon In
darkness again. Amusement houses,
theStheater and business concerns were
greatly hampered. The picture houses
had to close their doors, but the thea
ter finished out the performance with
gaslights. Business men tried to fur
nish their trade with the aid of the
light of candles and lanterns. The
boxing match at the Windham A. G.
was declared off. The local fire alarm
and telegraph systems were Temporal
rify put out OF commission, the various
circuits being badly tangled and ring
ing in alarms several times. Many Of
the local telephones were also put out
Of commission. The electric light COM
pany was able to get up suficient
steam to furnish lights from 10 o'clock
until 11.30 in the residential and bust
ness sections, bat there were no street
lights after 7.45 o'clock and the city
was in complete darkness before mid
night
During the height of the storm a
bolt of lightning struck the steeple of
the First Baptist church on Union
street, tearing q great hole in the
southwest side Both shingles and
boerds were scattered over the old
Posteffice square pavemsnts for 200 or
more feet in all directions. Many
pieces of flying debris narrowly missed
pedestrians who CHANGED to be near.
Rev. r. G.. Hartley, pastor of the
church, was conducting Lenten SER
vice in the vestry, at which about. 100
were present. No one was aware that
the steeple had been struck, although
people several hundred yards away
experienced shocks of greater or less
degree. One woman In the congraga-
