OPTION TAKEN
ON BIG TRACT
Prominent Caldwell Men
Make Big Purchase
of Land.
H. W. Dorman and Col. Place Buy
10000 Acres Of Road Lands
Near Ontario.

One OF the largest land purchases
made in this vicinity in recent times
will be contaminated If Col E. r Place
and II. W. Dorman, Of Caldwell, fulfill
their option recently taken on 200. 600
acres Of land comprised in the road
land grant. The lands included nnder
the option lie in an almost direct line
between Ontario ard BErns, reaching to
within twelve miles OF the latter town.
They are a part Of the old Willamette
Valley and Cascade Mountain Military
Road land grant, set aside to the origin
al owners by the government, and which
lies in a strip twelve miles vide across
the entire state OF Oregon. This i'm
mense tract was bought something more
than a year ago by the Oregon and Wee
tern Colonization company, and ia now
being sold BY them in large and small
tracts.
Col. Place and Mr.. Dorman, both res
idents Of Caldwell, where they have
been connected with the Idaho Mort
gage and Security Company, are associ-
ated in the new enterprise for the pur-
pose Of bringing settlers to the lands,
which will be broken up into small
tracts and rapidly developed. Both
these men have handled some large land
operations, and have been instrumental
in bringing many new settlers to south
ern Idaho.
The two gentleman have been in On
tario and Vale much Of the time the
past two weeks looking upthe maps and
locations Of the properties involved, and
preparing to handle the colonization Of
the lands.
Col. Place has for some time past been
Connected with the colonization depart
ment of the Union Pacific railroad. and
has had his Offices at Omaha. Whether
il the present undertaking he is in any
way associated with the railroads is net
made public, but Col. Place has stated
that the Union Pacific promises assist
ance and support in colonIzing th'
lands involved, and viii issue handsome
literature to be used for the purpose
In consideration OF TIE fact that mucl
OF this land lies along the proposed Ore
zon Eastern extension Of the Vsl'
branch Of the o. 5. l., it seems prob
able that assistance ir colonizing tn
lands would be 4 natural activity to
the Union Parific and associated lines
! Whether the railroad is giving any NOR
substantial backing to the undertaking
IS not known.-Ontario Optimist-

A CHEAP IMITATION

We clip the following from the
Cambridge News:
"The News is beginning to lose
faith in President Taft. When
the people demand reform in the
tariff laws, he offers them reci-
proclty. When they demand the
recall of judges. he says it will
never do, that it would demoral-
ize the bench, but they ought TO
be impeached.. The fact is, the
man who offers you something
Just as good is generally class
ed among imitat0rs.
We take it that the sentiment
ex pressed in the foregoing IS a
sentiment which is growing and
which is becoming more and
more established among the re-
publican newspaper men of the
country. OF course, there are
few who have the nerve display
ed by the News, and who are will
ing to come out and admit that
their faith in the republican pres
ident is not what 1t once vas. 1t
is always advantageous for pa
per to be in line with the party
| in power. There are certain pc
lcuniary advantages which come
from allegiance 10 the party in
power, and especially from alleg-
lance tu the individuals who oc-
cupy public positions. But a
newspaper has its proper func-
ton to perform in a country
such as ours, and is morally
bound to stand for what it De-
Iieves to be of interest to the
state and nation, Irrespective oi
its attitude to either party or in
| dividuals. For our part, we be
Iieve that we should have as pres
Ident of our nation a man who
viii use his power to protect tins
masses of the people in then
rights as against the selfish in
terests OF the few. and in this re
gard we believe that William H
) Taft is a mighty cheapimitatioI
OF the real thing.

Distinction Without a Difference,

President Taft was very care
ful to state outat Salt Lake thas
he was travelling over the nation
not as a republican, but as ths
nations president. OF course ha
holds the position as president
and the expenses Of the trip come
out OF the national treasury. In
this respect he is travelling as ths
president" But how about his
utteranees7 How about tina
matters he discusses in his public
addresses They all tend to be in
defense OF the attitude taken by
the party in power, and his own
attitude as a republican presi.
dent. Such statements as he in.
dulged in at Salt Lake are very
clever political tricks. Following
the statement that he came ~
president, and not as a party
man, he launched out into q dis,
cussion ofparty doctrines. From
his introductory statement one
would think that he was to give
a discussion upon "The Philos-
ophy of the Old Testament" "a
few of the Advantages OF Old
Age" or some other such sub
Iject. 1t does not pay to adopt
such methods, especially when
addressing a western audience.
The western people are not SO
leasy.-Council Leader.
