BIRCH and M'KAY CREEK FARMERS SHOULD
GUARD OLD WATER RIGHTS SAYS. ATTORNEY

That the farmers on Birch and Nc
Kay creeks who are making addition
al filings on water should act with
care so as to avoid any danger of sac
rificing old rights is held by Col. j. H
Raley who has been actively connect
ed with the water proplem in this vi
cinity.
II notice." said the colonel yester-
day that the East Oregonian has ask
ed why lawyers did not advise farm
ers to file on water before this" and
he then set forth feature of the case
not previously mentioned.
There is a chance that some farm
ers may lose by asking for more water,
according to Colonel Raley. There is
this danger if farmers file upon ad-
ditional water when such water is
desired to irrigate land for which the
farmers already assert they have a
water right. The danger comes from
the fact that the farmer might some

new POLICE CHIEF
NAMES PATROLMEN

John Kearney, Pendleton's new
chief of police, today announced the
appointment of his assistants on the
police force as follows: Alex Manning,
day patrolman, BILLY" Sheer and Ira
Hughes, night patrolmen, and the Of
ficers have already entered upon their
duties.
Sheer is the only one of the three
appointees who served regularly un-
der Chief Gurdane although Hughes
acted as substitute officer for some
time past. Sheer has been police
officer in Pendleton for the past fif-
teen years and is regarded as one of
the best men who ever wore a star
here.
Manning, who takes the place held
recently by Charles Myers, is one of
the men mentioned prominently for
the office of chief before the caucus
and was a member of the police force
six years ago. Lately, however, he
has been doing carpenter work in the
employ of Gibson & Cole, we'll known
contractors.
Hughes takes the place formerly
held by the new chief and is looked
upon generally as a man with quail
fications adapting him for the positi-
on. During the time he has served
temporarily. he demonstrated his eff
ficiency and his appointment comes
in recognition of the ability he has
displayed.
Altogether. the new police force of
the city is regarded favorably by the
citizens.
Chief Kearney declared this morn
ing that he would endeavor to the
best of his ability to enforce the laws
and ordinances of the city give to the
citizens of Pendleton the protection
they desire.

day have his old right contested and
have his new filing used against him
by the contesting party.
In the view of Colonel Raley a far
mer is entirely safe to file upon water
for the irrigation of new lands, or In
other words land for which there has
been no water available in the past.
But ranchers should not make new
filings in order to get water for land
that can be watered under older
rights.
AS to the filings that have already
been made before the state engineer
through Attorney Frederick Steiwer
it Is understood that all the land for
which water is asked Is now land ly-
ing to the west OF Birch creek. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Steiwer none of his
applicants may water any of this land
under the terms OF old water rights
so they have not jeopardized their In
terests by their recent filings.

In order to assist in staging wild
west show in Los Angeles, If condi-
tons are as represented to them, j..
Roy Raley, ex-president and James
H. Gwinn, secretary of the Roundup
association, will leave tomorrow or
Saturday for the southern California
city. in perSuance with their arrange
ments with the corporation just or
ganized in Portland and of which
they are stockholders. This was the
announcement the two gentlemen
made this morning upon their return
from Portland. where they have been
comforting with the promoters of the
project.
The company. which has been
formed for the express purpose of
putting on an annual frontier show in
Los Angeles is incorporated for $780,
geo, the majority of which is Oregon
capital. Railroad interests are back
of the movement and will be the chief
factor in it's exploitation 1t is the
intention of the promoters to make
the show a big mid-winter drawing
card of southern California and al
ready they have secured an option on
the Lucky Baldwin ranch near Los
Angeles.
The company has been in the pro-
cess of incubation for the past two
months. Not many weeks after the
close of the Roundup. one of the
promoters of the new enterprise ap-
peared in the city and held consulta-
tions with Messrs. Raley and Gwinn
relative to securing their assistance in
forming the organization and staging
the show.
At that time the matter was brought
UP before the board of directors of the
Roundup and, no objection having
been made, the two men began Sc
riously to consider the proposition
made to them with the result that
they have been enlisted among the
stockholders, will be given much the
same positions they have held with
the Roundup and will, in fact, take
leading parts in the presentation of
the show, if, after an investigation at
Los Angeles, they are satisfied with
conditions.
Declare Loyalty to Roundup.
While their connection with the
new wild west show company was
made purely from business motives,

ing a point short distance from Una
lila, when they were captured today
by a Umatilla officer and turned over

stable Whitworth at $3.50 o'clock this
morning. He went to the home OF
George Pearsons, relative, and learn
ed that the men had been there fif-
teen minutes before and had secured
three revolvers and left. II was learn
ed that they tried to board the mail
train here, but were unsuccessful

having seen the men one mile west
of Stanfield, walking westward.
Constable Whitworth Immediately
organized a pursuing party and start
ed after them, reaching Umatilla q
few moment after the men had beer
taken into custody by officers who
went to meet them.

prisoners managed their escape and
it is considered probable that they
were assisted by some one from the
outside.

KISSING A DOG

1t may be all right in a certain
sense to kiss a poodle dog, if you
have nothing else to kiss. 1t
never seemed very brilliant. cute
or becoming for any one pretend
ing to be lady of sound mind
and passing responsibility to hug
and kiss an offspring of the ca
nine family. But then we adj
NIT that we are not 80 thorough
ly versed in the changing science
of etiquette and in the demands
of polite society.
Ii is not only non-sensical but
rather risky to rub your face
against that of a dog and kiss it,
or allow the dog to lick your
face. Man is not guilty of such
craziness because he may have
some sense and less affection
than the fair sex. But we, can I
see what pleasure or satisfaction
there is in such a "doggone''
caressing. No matter how
clearly the doggie may be kept,
he is by nature a scavenger anC

fuse. Therefore, the saliva OF
a dog often contains a deadly
microbe, which may be commu-
nicated to human beings attack.

Of course there is not g
woman in Lubbock that would
do such a thing, but it is often
done, to the shame and disgrace
of the woman who does 1t.

1T PAYS TO BE GOOD

The editor likes boys. they are
often abused unjustly. And he
often regrets that he hasn't the
power to emphasize this fact:
A boy can have better time as
polite and well-behaved boy
than as a rough. Having pass
ed through the mill, we know.
When we were boy, we did so
many unnecessarily foolish
things that we spend most of
our time now in blushing.
There is one thing that boys can
think of with profit: Good boys
are always admired. BY good
boy we do not mean sissy or a
mollycoddle. A good boy can
have a better time than a boy
whose parents are always wor-
rying about MIN. There is moth
ing which promises a good time
that good boys may not do. The
mean things boys do always
causes them trouble. And we
firmly believe boys are becoming
better all the time. A boy
should always bear his future in
mind; he is rapidly becoming a
man. and it uncomfortable to be-
come an unsuccessful man. There
fore, boys should remember that
good boys are the first to be of
fered positions. Employers are
always contending with each
other for the good boys. But
employers always say of a boy
with a bad reputation: He
isn't worth powder and lead to
blow him up"

The good book says that a man
who does not care for or look
after the welfare of his family
rs worse than an infdel. " This
may be applied with equal force
to the man who takes no interest
in the town in which he lives.
for in a very real sense the
town is his home which he shares
with the other people living in it.
Therefore to speak adversely of
ones town, 10 say no word in it's
favor, to habitually go else
where to trade and be Indifferent
to home business all this is not
only unpatriotic. but it is very
much the same as if a man
should go around to his neigh
bors and find fault with his do
mestic home and every member
in il.
