BURNED-OUT THIS
MAN COMES BACK

As an example of what man can
do when misfortune overtakes him,
the record of E. F. Marks since coming
to Pendleton little more than a
year ago stands out conspicuously. A
prosperous and happy farmer in the
Occur dAlene district of Idaho, in the
course of few days he had seen his
home, crops and all of his material
possessions swept away by the raging
forest fires that devastated so many
miles of rich land in Idaho in the fall
of 1910.
His land was left but he had no
funds with which to repair the dam
age done and, so, without wasting
time in mourning his loss, he secured
temporary quarters for his wife and
two children, bought ticket for PEN
dleton and arrived here with only 40
cents in his pocket.
The day he arrived he heard of a
job on the Osborne farm, walked
there at once and secured employ
ment for a few weeks. The money
he received was sent at once to his
family and he started in search of
other work. Encountering John Mont
gomery, the grain buyer, and noticing
the X. of p. pin which he wore. he
made himself and his object known
With true fraternal spirit, Montgom-

Umatilla county hunters can con-
tinue their quest of ducks until April
1, without violating the game laws
OF the state. the published statement
in another newspaper that the open
season would close on the 18th of

nah counties the season closes on
January Is. but in the counties of
Umatilla. Morrow, Union, Grant Har-
ney, Malheur and Wallowa ducks re-

"OLD GUARD LEGISLATORS ABANDON
LOSING FIGHT AGAINST STATEMENT NO, |

with the date for the primary cleo
ton only three months distant and
with the Umatilla county legislative
ticket now in the making, news Of
what is transpiring elsewhere in the
state will be of much interest here.
A story in the oregon Journal Of
yesterday tells of the situation in
many counties and shows the aban-
donment by the old guard of its fight
upon statement No. /. The story Is
as follows:
From all parts Of the state evidence
is accommodating that the adherence to
Statement No. / will be an almost
universal doctrine among candidates
for the legislature this year. Stand
patters are stampeding into the
Statement No. 1 camp, preparing to
pledge their votes for the peoples
choice for United States senator even
though it be Jonathan Bourne or a
democrat.
Statement No. syrup does not
taste well to many of the standpatters
that will swallow IT. But they have
reached the conclusion that they must
recognize it as an established prescrip-
ton in oregon. They are ready to
admit that the people cannot be in
duced to look with favor on those who
will not pledge themselves to carry
out the will Of the people in electtne

child from the 800 acre farm near He

the deceased husband and father but
title to which was held by the elder
Zeuske.
In her defense, the widow claimed
that verbal contract had been made
between her husband and his parents
whereby he was to have title to the
Hand and in corroboration she pointed
out that he had been in possession 6
number of years and had made i'm.

Under only four feet of snow, the

years" said one of the ladies this

Will Take Long Route to
Establish Right of Local
Indians to Water.
WILL USE STATE COURT
Enemies of Indian Rights Hope for
Change of Sentiment by Supreme
Court-Case Now Before State wa
ter Board Awaiting Hearing.

John McCourt, United States dist
rict attorney for oregon, will endeayor
to establish the reservation water
rights through the adjudication suits
now pending before the state water
board. He will not take the shorter
and quicker course of trying the case
before the federal courts unless in
structed to do so by the attorney gen.
eral. Nor will he join forces with
anv individual and take the case into
the federal courts unless he is speci-
ficially instructed to do SO. At this
time William Caldwell is ousted from
the federal court presumably because
he could not make the government
party to the suit without the district
attorneys consent.
In an interview given an East Ore
gonian representative in Portland
few days since McCourt explained his
attitude in reference to the reservation
/ cases. He still holds that under the
ruling of the United States supreme
court the Indians of the reservation
are entitled to use water upon their
allotments. He advises the Indians
to make use of the water and says he
will defend them in their right should
they be molested However he de-
clares he will not protect renters who
seek to use water upon rented land.
Before State Board.
According to the United States at
torney the Indian cases are now be-
fore the state board for adjudication
because of the answer he filed to the
contest brought before the state board
by Sophie Byers. In that answer NC
Court sets UP the right of the Indians
to water and holds the Byers claim
to be secondary to the rights of the
Indians under the treaty.
However it will be some months be-
fore the cases can be tried before the
state board as the Indian cases VIII
come up along with other adjudica-
ton suits from this section. After
/ the water board has passed upon the
case it will then be subject to the
Jurisdiction of the circuit court, of the
| state supreme court and later of the
United States courts.
Asked as to why such a roundabout
course should be taken instead of the
more direct course of trying the mat
ter in the federal courts, District At
torney McCourt asserted the propriety
of trying the case before local trib-
unal, despite the fact the great point
at issue in the reservation cases Is a.
federal question. -
Hope for Reversal.
Apparently there is hope in certain
circles that some day the United
States supreme court may alter the
ruling made in the Montana Indian
cases. According to McCourt govern
ment irrigation official told him not

tributed to the different needy per-

This department of the church is
planning on making this a perma-
nent and systematic part of its work
and in order to perform more intelli-
gently this work. the committee
would be glad to have any one who

washington, ID. C., Jan. IL.
President Commercial Club, Pendle-
ton, Oregon.
Bids on proposed federal building
far exceed appropriation made. Today
I held conference with treasury de-
partment and Supervising Architect
Taylor. Situation necessitates either
endeavoring to secure $4,000 addi-
tional appropriation for utilization OF
plans already drawn or redrawing
plans for smaller building than con-
ditions in your city require to serve
the postal business there. Suggest
you call meeting of your association
and citizens and discuss subject. Tel
graphically notify me whether Pen
dleton people prefer delay on expec-
tation of securing larger and better
building or prefer redrawing plans to
make building come within present
appropriations. Personally. I believe
better results for government and
Pendleton would be achieved even al
cost of delay by securing additional
appropriation though I cannot guar
antee there will be a public building
built this season Desire information
based on meeting Of your association
and citizens. Wire reply collect.
