in accordance with unbroken practice
along the border. ANY one seeking
refuge or claiming asylum is received
and protected. FrequeILy dLIleu par

asylum If not found by our patrols,
they cross back at conVeuI5hI tlLle ana

are disarmed and either held or put

Another COnundrdm

Hood River, April !, 1914.
To the Editor: Some folks seem to
think that the people of the valley are
scared at themselves. II has been said:
"lf those who are so bitterly opposed
to the City of Utility would read Ma
sons Utility plank and then help to
elect him to the legislature, we would
get Just what we want. d" It's another
canundrum whether we would or not.
Mason hasn't gone to the legislature
yet, and if he does he may get all the
legislation he proposes passed. and
then again, he may not.
And it his also been said the City of
Utility is only desired for the purpose
of holding water rights and that no
"niggers" are in the wood pile.
IL il takes a town seven or eight
miles square to hold one little water
right, what would it take to hold two?
There's "niggers" in the wood pile ali
right, and we have got to smoke them
out, and the way to do it is to go to
the election and snow the thing under.
Anyone who knows how many white
beans il takes to make five knows that
it doesn't require the formation of a
full fledged municipality with over 1000
population to hold a small water right.
If the people within its contemplated
limits allow it to go through by stay
ing at home and not voting they will
regret il later. NJ. X. Noble.
