Nor is the editor of the East Ore
gonian supporting the extension be-
cause he owns lot at Hermiston. He
has a much larger investment in PEN
dleton and from self interest as well
as duty is under first obligations to
this place. Nor is this paper or its
editor under the slightest obligations
to anyone concerned one way or the
other in the West Extension. The
East Oregouian in this matter as in
all others is as free and untrammeled
as it could possibly be-a fact that is
quite generally understood.
Among other things the anti-ex-
tensionists are unfortunate in the
character Of their chief newspaper
supporter. They should have secured
some paper somewhere that had at
least a semblance of good standing.
The use of Pendleton's dirty and con-
temptible journalistic prostitute for
their purpose was in one sense fitting
yet it may prove unwise. It's appear
ance into the game was a needless
insult to the visiting board If nothing
else

A NEEDLESS INSULT.

Unable to make satisfactory answer
t. the expose of the manner in which
they misused the name of the Una
tilla River Waterusers' Association in
the West Extension the op-
ponents of the project resort to SLAM
der and abuse of those who have been
working for the improvement.
They say C. S. Jackson endorses the
project to befriend the Ladds. Yet it
is we'll known Mr.. Jackson took up the
matter at the instance of committee
from the Pendleton Commercial club
that had been trying in vain to get
Portland assistance until Mr.. Jackson
came to their aid. The Hills" also
were brought into the game by local
men. The East Oregonian well re-
members when two distinguished To-
cal lawyers were sent to endeavor to
interest the Northern Pacific in the
fight. This paper also remembers
when a distinguished body of repub-
lican leaders went to Portland to
work upon the political end of the
line. There was no cry against the
prophet then. The people were for
it almost without exception. The
bugaboo had not yet been manufac-
tured.
How the Hills and the Ladds" will
fare IL the extension is carried out
this paper does not know. The East
Oregonian is willing to rely upon the
reclamation service and other offici-
ais, headed by the president, to see
that such private land as there may
be under the extension will be watered
under conditions that will be just to
settlers. 1t is up to the government
to handle that matter and no doubt
It will do so in a proper manner.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1912-01-31

ance of good and worthy reasons why
the extension should be carried out.
These reasons are we'll known to all
who care to know them and are inter-
ested in the matter from the stand
point of the public welfare.
To begin with the West Extension
will mean the reclamation of some
thing like 10000 acres of desert land
through use of water that flows to
waste. 1t will mean in the neighbor
hood of 5000 new homes in eastern
Oregon. 1t will mean the addition
OF many millions to the assessment
rclls of U'matilla and Morrow coun-
ties. 1t will mean work for the work
less, homes for the homeless and
more foodstuffs for the consuming
public in the northwest.
The construction of the project by
the government will mean it will be
a success. The work will be done
with view to efficiency and perma-
nency. The dam and the bitches will
be built by capable engineers. The
work will be done promptly and well.
Uncle Sam is always thorough
workman and he does work promptly
because he has the men and the
money with which to work.
If the government builds the pro-
ject it will not be "get rich quick
scheme" 1t will be built with view
to serving settlers, not to skinning
them The government will put four
millions in real money into the enter
prise. The settlers will have the use
or that money without interest and
will have ten years in which to pay it
back
II the government does the work
there will be no promoters hung in
effigy as was done on a private pro-
ject out in central Oregon. The gov
ernor of the state wont have to exert
all his power and influence to make
some promoter do his plain duty by
the settlers.
If the government does the work
there will be no bitter and disrupting
personal quarrels; no million dollar
suits for damages, no wholesale fore
closures Of mortgages. There will be
no nervous breakdowns, no flights to
the orient, no sensational charges of
misuse of money, skullduggery or
| fraud.
The question now up is as to wheth-
e. or not the government shall come
into the field and do work of great
benefit to eastern Oregon and the
state or whether it shall be kept out
through opposition and chickering's or
iGinated, developed and organized by
q clique in and near Stanfield that
opposes the extension from purely sell
fish reasons.

where wages and opportunities are
larger. The germ of the whole sys-
tenn of manual training is considered
by the Prussian Ministry of Com
merce and Industry to be in the
awakening of the boys aspirations
for life above the ordinary. This
awakening is much more of a prob
lem for the children of the unskilled
or the nearly unskilled classes than
for those of the higher artisan class.
The surroundings and the tone of the
home life of a superior workman
usually settle the inclination of the
boy to be at least equal to his faith

Lawyer Stephenson Tries To
Throw Judges Hat in Ring

AT meeting of the San Luis Valley Bar
association held in Del Norte last week. the
following resolution was adopted:
"Be it resolved by the members of
the Bar of the Twelfth Judicial Dis
triCt here convened, that the Hon. c.
{. Holbrook be and is hereby re-
quested to be candidate to succeed
himself as Judge of said District at
the election to be held in November
of 1912"
OF course the resolution was so mild that
no attorney present could oppose it. When
the vote was announced Judge Holbrook sug-
gested that the association take vote on sec
ond choice for candidate, but no notice was
taken of the suggestion.
Had the name of Jesse Stephenson or anv
other cipher been proposed, it would have met
with a similar endorsement
1t will be remembered that six wears ago
Jesse Stephenson was a delegate to the demo-
cratic judicial convention and secured proxies
enough to endorse Judge Holbrook as the
Democratic nominee, since which time Mr..

Quebec, Nov. 9.-Nine hundred pas
sengers of the Royal George, a Cana

which went ashore on Thursday dur
ing fog, one mile east of Point st.
Lawrence, Isle of Orleans, arrived
here on tender. They were taken to
Montreal on special trains.

does not thing the liner is in dan
genous position. She went ashore on
bottom of sand and gravel, and only.
her fore part touched bottom.
The North, an old ferry boat which
brought the load of passengers tc this
city, returned to the Royal George,
but strong wind from the south pre-
vented her getting near the wrecked
liner to take off the remaining pas
sengers. The Cruiser, the big tug of
the Canadian Pacific railway, also
failed to reach the Royal George.
The remaining passengers were res
cued from their perilous position by
vessels belonging to the government
service.
At this season the chanel becomes
narrower and the photographic maps
indicate that steamers should not run
more than four and half miles an
hour. The Royal George, it is esti-
mated by some, was running at
speed of eighteen knots an hour in an
effort to get to Quebec before the i'm.

Constantinople, Nov. PA further
statement was made public Sunday
from the Sheik-Ul-Islam, who issued a
manifesto to the ulemas and hodjas
proclaiming holy war. He says:
"On the initiative of the military
council and with the approval of the
council of ministers, a commutique of
the grand vizier has been issued or
dering the dispatch to Hadeukeui of
about 100 eloquent and influential ule-
mas, with the object of uplifting the
moral state and exciting the warlike
ardor of the imperial army now being
concentrated at Tchatalja.
The ulemas are to exhort the
troops in words easy to be understood
by the common soldiers. These ora
tors have been chosen from among the
most distinguished professors of the
ology and ulemas in the capital. They
are now preparing to leave for the
headquarters of the army.
Reports circulated contrary to the
spirit of this communication are false
and should be considered worthless"

nous numbers. Already there are some
$4,000 of them in the city. They are
continually being added to by fugitives
from all the devastated places in
Thrace. Their misery and want is
APPALLING and demands a charitable
effort which cannot be on too large a
scale. The scenes of restitution and
despair among these unhappy people
are heartrending. Many camps in
isolated corners on the shores of the
Bosphorus are absolutely without the
necessaries of life-no shelter, no fuel
and no milk for the innumerable
babies. Hunger and privation are
everywhere.
An epidemic of cholera, which
threatens to spread to terrible proper

the more imperative.
