THE MNANIARAS.

When the McNamaras made their
confessions last Friday they shook
tie country as it had not been shaken
in many months. The confession
clears away all doubt as to their guilt
and is a splendid thing from a public
standpoint. The world now knows the
truth and had the case been tried out
the result might have been different.
There was so much prejudice on both
sides of the controversy that many
would have proclaimed the McNam-
aras innocent no matter what sort OF
case the state might have hal
against them.
Organized labor will suffer by the
confessions but the chief blame may
be attached TO labor leaders who
urged their followers to flock to the
defense of the McNamaras when they
were first arrested.
When the arrests were made this
PAPER, along with many other news
papers, urged laboring men not t,

WILL THEY USE ur NOW?

Andrew Fielder. of Pilot Rock, has
written the East Oregonian letter
ir which he sets forth some ideas
about his irrigation rights. Appar-
entity Mr.. Fielder has just awakened
and he has not yet fully grasped the
situation.
Were Mr. Fielder well Informed he
would know that the East Oregonian
has been doing the very thing he asks
us to do now Many months ago
when the adjudication suit was first
started, this paper repeatedly warned
the settlers to assert themselves and
look after their water rights They
were told that their rights were of
great value and that they should be-
stir themselves and find out what was
going on, or words to that effect. Very
likely Mr.. Fielder was blissfully
sleeping just then. as were others,
and did not hear the call.
In the view of this paper settlers
along the Umatilla and tributary
streams are entitled to all the wafer
they need This paper has criticised
the governments attorneys for striv-
ing to limit them to two and a half
acre feet per year. This paper has
also urged that the. government should
establish the reservation water rights
50 as to permit Of the irrigation of the
splendid valley just east OF Pendleton.
The great difficulty to accomplish
ing anything has been the Indifference
o. those who should have been most
concerned In the case Of the reser-
Vation some government officials, who
are in the role Of guardians of the
Indians, have not been eager to pro-
tect their wards In the case OF set
tiers such as Mr.. Fielder their chief
fault has been in not making use Of
more water in the past. The Pilot
Rock man says he irrigates eight
acres at this time. He should have ir-
rigated more and 50 should his neigh
bors. BY proper utilizing the flood
waters II Birch creek many thousands
Of acres could have been made highly
productive. But the land barons IN
that country have been content with
their lot and scoffed when advised to
resort TO irrigation. Had they made
Use Of the water that flows through
-heir region they would now be in
better position. The law requires
hat people must make beneficial use
of water in order 20 hold their rights,
though the supreme court has held
this rule does not apply to Indians
holding water rights under treaties
with the government.
For the benefit Of Mr.. Fielder IT
may be said ne is in very slight danger
