positively instructs the legislature to

vote in the general election. We can
thank Bourne for the presidential

Especial correspondence

Hermiston, Ore, April 1S.-The
settlers on the project are very slow
in taking advantage of the gradu-
alton of the water right payments
The last day of payment is the SOth
/ day CO April. All settlers wishing tc
| take this graduation must appear be-
| fore the secretary of the Water Us
/ Vs' association and make a new con-
/ tract with the government. This is
/ an amended contract making the
/ building charge $40 instead of $50. .
/ In the case of homestead lands the
contract made by them does not have
to be recorded. There is a rumol
about the settlers will not comply
with the wishes of the register in hav-
ing this contract recorded as they
feel that this is a great injustice tC
the people, not only on account of the
| amount of $3.50 that 1t costs to have
this contract put on record but also
on account of placing another mort
gage on their lands for the water
| These settlers have already a first
mortgage on the land for the water
right. In this new contract it states
that "No officer, agent or employee
OF the government can have any part
in this contract. The secretary of the
Water Users association took this
matter up with the Secretary of the
interior. Under this ruling by the
government even a ditch rider would
not be allowed to have any part OF
this contract. The secretary of the
interior has therefore directed the as
sistant secretary to omit this from
the contract, therefore this will leave
all government employees in a po-
sition to accept the graduation of the
water right payments.
Very few of the large land owners
have made the new contract to date
and only about five homesteaders
have accepted the graduation of the
payments. In accepting this gradu.
alton the settlers in the first, second
and third units have to pay $500 per
acre instead of $500 per acre, but
they have $1,000 per acre more to
pay at the end of ten years.
1t is supposed that the Water Us
ers' association will make an assess
ment of $1,000 per share of the capt.
tai stock of the association in order
to make all the land pay the extra
$1,000 per acre. This money will be
used for drainage, cement lining of
the bitches and for the further pur-
pose Of bringin. water to the land.

Administration of "Teddy" Would Be

RY z w MI1KEY

Oregon Roosevelt National Committeeman
This is paid newspaper advertise.
ment in the interests of the candidacy
of Theodore Roosevelt for the Repub-
lican nomination in Oregon for Presi.
dent of the United States.
1t is paid newspaper advertise.
ment because the newspapers for their
own reasons decline to print actual
news, now that Colonel Roosevelt is
a candidate. A few weeks ago moth
ing was too good for him; now revile-
ment is in order.
In fact, the Interests everywhere
are afraid Of Roosevelt.
The reason is, they know Roosevelt
will force them into line: they know
Roosevelt administration will be an
administration of the common people,
Is Big Business for Taft?
Hounded by their advertisers, the
newspapers hear the call for Taft.
Is Big Business for Taft?
But what the everyday man wants
to know is, Has Taft been a good
President?
No one doubts that Mr.. Taft is a
fine citizen, a great lawyer, but
Is he the man we want, Oregon
wants, the country wants, for Presi,
dent?
By an overwhelming voice Illinois
said no. Illinois, the index to the
whole progressive West. declared for
Roosevelt
Yet even in Pennsylvania, where
Penrose boasted that he could swing
every delegate, the machine bucked.
People Want Roosevelt.
For the common people wanted
Roosevelt. Having the primary, they
made that clear.
With Pennsylvania and Illinois for
Roosevelt, with Oregon and the other
Western states for him tooth and nail,
the great presidential machine in the
South, with its machire-elected dele
gates for Taft, will be smashed.
1t is smashed now Not even the
most ardent Taft man admits in his
heart that Taft can win the conven-
ton.
The people have risen in protest
not against Taft, but what Mr.. Taft
represents.
Mr. Taft does not think the people
are fit to govern themselves; in fact,
he thinks they do not even have sense
enough to nominate the right men for
office.
And that is because Mr. Taft has
the judicial mind'-instead of the
mind OF the everyday man and the
everyday woman.
Sentiment No Guide.
There has been some sentiment
against a third term for President.
If that is the case. has the United
States grown great on sentiment?
This country has grown to be what
it is because it has at last come to a
realization that 1t knows its own mind
and intends to get its own way.
In this case. getting its own way is
the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt
by the Republican party.
Already, Roosevelt has almost twice
as many delegates as Taft. La Fol
lette is dead letter.
What Will Oregon Do?
Therefore. does Oregon want to
climb in with the loyal Roosevelt men
and women?
l think so. think, too, that by far
the greater number of people in this
state know that Roosevelt is square
honest and, above all, is Presidential
timber.
So | am convinced that next Friday
they will vote for him when they &c
to the polls.
In this way will Oregon say tc
Roosevelt: Keep up the good work
we know you're right"

twisted fragment of humanity, pitifully

His heart was still beating; but his white,
