OLD COURT HAD DAVE
LAVENDER As ENGINEER
ADAMSITE SHOWS INCONSIST-
ENCY IN CRITICISM OF
G. III. MARTIN.
Adams. ore, Oct. 30, 1914.


Editor East Oregonian:
The would II he Could be" county
Judge, T. P. Gilliland. criticised the
present county court in his speech
here few evenings ago and brought
them to task for having employed Mr..
C. H. Martin. a competent road build
er. and placed him in charge OF the
road work in this county. He called
his audiences attention to the fact
that the county was paying this ''in-
terloper" as he termed him, the
fabulous sum OF $4,000 per month
and then went on to say that Martins
head would come off as soon as he.
Gilliland. is elected.
We people up here are wondering
II Gilliland thinks we are all fools or
that our memories do not go back to
the time he held the position he so
earnestly covets at the present time.
We quite distinctly remember that
he employed one Dave Lavender plac-
ed him in charge Of the road work.
with the title of road master. payed
for his livery hire. with the county
funds). and paid him a salary equal
TO the amount that is paid Mr.. Mar
tin.
Every body knows that Lavender Is
not an engineer never had any prac-
teal experience as a road builder and
had no knowledge or training to fit
him for the position he held.
Mr.. Martin has had years OF ex-
perience in road building; was county
surveyor for four years. was for many
years a railroad engineer and is a
practical bridge engineer.
He draws all the plans for bridges
for the present county court and su.
perintends construction OF all work
of this character and has in this re-
spect saved the county many hund.
red dollars that under the Gilliland
regime went to the man who had a
monopoly OF the bridge business in
this county.
Gilliland is making a desperate ef-
fort to get back on the county court
again but We have too vivid a reco-
lection of his mismanagement OF the
county affairs when he held the Of
flee of county judge to vote for him
again. ADAMSITE.

FLOCK To MARSH
FOLLOWING G|LULAND EXPOSE

Thoroughly impressed with the
truth of the damaging exposures pub
lished by this paper against T. p
Gilliland and incensed that such
methods were followed by the old
county court republican voters are
flocking literally by the hundreds to
the support Of c. H Marsh for coun-
ty judge. This is shown by scores OF
individual statements received BY
Mr. Marsh in person and by phone
and letter. Also by reports brought
to the city by men who have been In
various parts OF the county during
the last week.
So plain and clear has been the ev-
idence against Gilliland that the facts
have sunk home and he Is denounc-
ed by all save those prejudiced
through extreme partisanship or for
other reasons. In his speeches the
exjudge has made use OF lmpassioned
oratory 20 defend himself. but Impair
tlal men who have heard him say he
has presented no facts sufficient

OREGON CITY. oct S1.-Dr.
james wIthycombe's description in
his speech here last June OF ex-Gov-
ernor sylvester Pennoyer as "dema-
gogue" for the part he played during
his life in the early days of anti-Chi-
nese agitation. aroused considerable
comment among local residents who
had a part In those stirring times,
DR.. withycombe had for the sub
ject OF his speech "A Program for a
Greater Oregon" and in discussing
the agricultural possibilities of the
state, he said that our people had
made a great mistake In driving out
the cheap Chinese labor.
He said "The Chinese harmed no
body and did their work well. II they
had been permitted TO remain they
would have cleared the land at from
SIS to $50 an acre, and much more
OF the Willamette valley would today
be in cultivated farms"
Pennoyer. who had not then been
elected governor, presided over a
mass meeting IN portland, called 10
consider the Chinese problem, and 1t
was for his part In this meeting that
he was particularly flayed by DR.
Wthycombe. II was in this connec-
ton that DIR. Wlthycombe spoke OF
Pennoyer as that demagogue Penney
err" DR.. Withycombe said the ex-
citement OF the times was the work
of agitators.
"a mistake was made" he said,
that our people did not have the
courage Of their convictions and per-
mlited themselves 20 be swayed by
mob rule"

PARIS, Oct 31.-Unless the allies
meet with unexpected reverses, the
seat OF the French government win
be transferred from Bordeaux to Par
is November 2eth. II was stated on
unofficial but reliable authority to-
day.
BY that time II was predicted by
General Gallieni's aides. the Germans
would have been compelled to evacu-
ate French territory.
Messages from the front said that
the kaiser's troops nowhere had sue
seeded in resumlng the offensive and
that in many places the allies had
succeeded in occupying trenches
which the Germans held a week ago.
French military experts did not
think the. Germans would be able TO
strengthen their lines. They express
ed the opinion that the kaised played
his trump card when he threw his
crack regiments into the User con-
flict.
Military men asserted that the al
lies were winning notably at last but
official claims were made IN the most
careful language.
II was generally believed that the
Germans planned TO Withdraw their
troops from Russian Poland to the
first line OF defenses inside the east
Prussian frontier and the theory was
that the Teutonic forces released win
be rushed westward
The Bordeaux war office claimed
continued gains were interspersed
with few losses. An official commu-
nication declared the allies had made
important gains east OF Ypres. after
n vigorous attack by the Germans
had been repulsed.

CAST ASPERS|ONS
ON RUNNING MATE
GILILLAND INVOLVES COCKBURN
By CRITICISING WILD HORSE
ROAD WORK.

BY attacking the Wild Horse road
improvement last night ex-Judge Gill
liland assailed Messrs Cockburn and
Waterman. both republicans who con-
stitute the majority on the present
county court and one Of whom. Mr..
Cockburn, is running for reelection.
The incident is resented by friends Of
Cockburn.
In his talk last night Gilliland also
made false claim that when he was
on the court he favored building a
road straight down Wild Horse and
leading down to the Lee street bridge
on the north side of the river. The
truth is that such road as that was
asked for in 1904 by farmers and bus
mess men and the matter was put 20
the court which turned the matter
down flat as being impractical There
fore Gilliland's claim last night he ia
vored improving the road is untruth-
full.
At the same time the court refused
to take up improving the Wild Horse
road the court. then under control
OF Messrs Gilliland and Walker. spent
as much money improving the road
TO Bingham Springs as would have
been required on Wild Horse. The
court had plan under consideration
to make a substantial highway from
here to Bingham past the w. J. Fur
lish home and was only stopped when
he Farmers Union protested.

In a fast game of basketball at the
high school gymnasium Friday evening
the school Eve defeated the older and
heavier Y. NJ. c. A. team by score OF
20 to IS. The school team proved too
fast for the association boys. and won
handily. The team work Of the winners
was a feature. and was much better
than that of the losers.
The work Of the Y. NJ. c. A. was bril-
liant at times, and Lindstedt was the
star Of the team. All Of the members
of the winning team played brilliantly
and gave a much better account OF
themselves than was expected consid-
ering the handicap under which they
played. The result was surprise to
the followers Of both teams, but the
high school victory was deserved. The
teams lined up as follows:
High school-Moyer, left guard; Nc
Creary, right guard: Packer, center:
Newcomer. right forward: Cummings,

guard; Lindstedt. right guard: Nyce,
