HOW RIErH GOT IT'S NAME.

Editor East Oregonian:
During the heavy snow storm in
February I was returning on the train
from a trip to Portland William
Bollons, superintendent OF the road,
got on the train at Pilot Rock June
tion and we happened to occupy the
same seat. Bollons had evidently had
some recent trouble arising from a
confusion of the names Pilot Rock
and Pilot Rock Junction. He said to
me. Il wish you would select some
short name, we are having trouble by
the names of Pilot ROCK and Pilot
Rock Junction becoming confused. We
want some short name for the june
tion, name that viii be easy to han
die over the wires" explained TO
him something of the history of tho
pioneer family of Rieth who former
ly lived there, and suggested the name
Rieth, and also the name Rodeo. Mr
Bollons subsequently submitted both
names to the proper authorities. and
they wisely selected the name Rieth.
trust this will settle all controver-
sy as TO how the name originated.
Respectfully,
]. H. RALEY.

THE FIGHT AGAINST
OLCOTT

us there no room in the re-
publican party of Oregon
for anyone except repub-
licans of the old guard-stand-
pat-assembly variety? Is it
high treason and heresy in the
thirty third degree for a state
official, though he be a life
long republican, to fail to kow-
tow before the Portland briga-
diers who think they dominate
the politics of the state?
These questions seem closely
involved in the fight being
made against the denomination
of Secretary of State Ben w.
Olcott. Mr.. Olcott has been a
republican all his life and he
has made a record as secretary
that justifies a reelection if eff
ficiency is an asset in politics.
Yet because he is not of the
old guard type the claim is
made that he is not a republi-
can and he should be massa-
cred, slain and slaughtered.
In taking this line of action
are not the old guard mana
gers drawing the circle too
narrow and wont they hurt
themselves? Would it be a
good thing for the republican
party to have its state mana.
gers set up the rule that no
matter how a man may regis
ter he is not a republican un-
less the old guard says so?
Would not such a condition
cause about half Of the repub-
licans of the state to be ostra-
cised?
