From the Milwaukee Journal.
The House committee on immigration
has reported favorably a bill which would
prohibit immigration. with certain speci-
fled exceptions, for four years.
The American Federation Of Labor
strongly urges this bill on the ground that
It is necessary to prevent q surplus OF
labor, tending to compete with labor al
ready here, and drive Down its standard
of living. This is no new attitude Of
organized labor 1t always has been
against an open door immigration policy.
&c. II Is not clear. in the first place, that
there will be q resumption OF Immigration
on the scale OF the years before the war.
In fact, authorities conversant with the
situation say that many thousands OF the
foreign born nov In this country will. as
soon as they can do so. return to their
native countries.
Besides being un%scientific in that It
takes no account of facts, the bill insults
the thorough going patriotism of our for
eign population. thousands Of whose
names appear in our overseas casualty
lists. Congressman Burnett, Of the House
immigration committee, a. that Amer
lea as q melting pot Is a delusiop and q
snare" Whose fault is that If not our
WI? What Is the meaning Of the wide
spread movement for Am~ericaniZation II
not a confession Of our own neglect, our
own inhospitableness, our own lack of re-
sponsibility for the immigrants welfare?
Representatives of the American FEEDER
alton OF Labor are now in Europe plead
ing for international standards for the
welfare Of the working classes, but that
does not hitch up with their attitude to-
ward immigration at home. To set VI
artificial barriers against immigration will
prevent the labor surplus of one country
from going to fill up the void in other
countries and thus will make for the very
evils which labor leaders desire to cure.

Places to Eat Will be Scarce.

To find place to eat in Heppner
will be serious question shortly.
The Elkhorn restaurant is the last
of the buildings to be razed to make
room for the new hotel, and the
house wreckers, Messrs. Baldwin 4
French will be after this building at
once. Ed Chin who has been run
ming the Elkhorn for the past year.
will store his furniture and fixtures
for the present and this will leave
the town with but one public eating
place, the Portland restaurant. We
understand that good board can be
had at one or two private houses but
these cannot begin to accommodate
the public. Ben Yen. who is part
ner of Ed Chin's. and who has been
spending the winter in China, is ex-
pected to arrive home at any time,
and upon his arrival a place may be
secured and the Elkhorn opened up
for business again. 1t has certainly
been a busy place since the destruc-
tion Of the Palace hotel last summer.

Case Held Up.

The Johnson-C -Colvin case was held
up for about day and half, and the
jury given liberty because of the
failure of a witness, Grover Andrews
of Ritter. failing to arrive on time.
A bench warrant was issuel for
him, and a deputy sheriff went out
from Pilot Rock and brought him in,
getting hete Friday morning. After
he had given his testimony In the
case, lie was asked to explain his
failure to answer the subpoena of the
court by Jndge Phelps, who reprl-
manded the witness severly, giving
him fine Of $50 and five days in the
county jail. In the future, no doubt,
Andrews will pay a little more at
tention to a summons to be In court
at a certain hour. He was formerly
a justice of the peace In his district
in Grant county.

by the Senior Glass, and large num-

well, rejecting credit upon them

JOHNSON WINS IN
AGAINST COLv|N
Damages In Sum of $4,000 Awarded
Case Will be Appealed.

A great deal of interest was taken
in the trial of the case Of James
Johnson against Ben Colvin, heard
before Judge Phelps on change of
venue from Grant county, during the
past week. The case went to trial
on Wednesday morning and occupied
the time of the court for the balance
of the week, large number of wit
nesses appearing for examination on
behalf of the contending parties.
Strong legal lights appeared both
for johnson and Colvin and strong
battle was put up. This case grew
ont of the trial of Colvin, with others,
for the larceny of thirty head Of beef
cattle belonging to johnson and
taken from his range during the
summer Of 1912. Colvin was tried
aid acquitted on the stealing charge
and later was tried again on the
charge of perjury, and of this crime
he was also acquitted, whereupon
johnson instituted suit for
damages, including in his claim the
value Of the cattle stolen, expenses
and punative damages. making a
total of $4,000.
After the testimony was all In,
Judge Phelps placed a limit on the
,ttorcoyc In tho nrocopt a tiou of th cir
arguments before the jury and the
case was handed over to that body
at o'clock Saturday afternoon and
after remaining out until o'clock
they returned verdict awarding
the plaintiff a total sum of $4,000.
Notice of appeal has been filed,
and no doubt the case will be fought
out fefore the supreme court.

Dist. No. o Has Box Social.

The patrons of school district No
8, Miss Cassie Doherty, teacher, had
a fine time one night the past week
when they gathered at the school
house for box social. To raise their
quota in the Armenian relief work,
and also their part of the Junior
Red Cross funds. the social had been
planned. Nineteen boxes were
auctioned off and the sum of $3.50
realized. This has been turned in,
and Phil Doherty states that the only
reason it was not more was because
the boxes run out. The people had a
big time and enjoyed the program
immensely. and the large sum of
money raised Is evidence that the
bidding was lively and competition
was keen.

WILL DEVELOP 400 TO
500 HORSE POWER

H. V. Gates, president Of Heppner
Light & Water Co.. has been busy
during the past two weeks making
survey and locating his pipe line for
hydraulic power, beginning at the
spring on the Yokum place about
five miles beyond the forks of Willow
creek, and his operations have pro-
ceeded so far that he now announces
that he will be able to develop be-
tween 400 and 500 horsepower at
the point near the forks of the creek
where he expects to locate his power
plant.
While ia town for short time on
Monday, Mr.. Gates took time to talk
the situation over with this paper
and give us an idea of what Is being
accomplished, and he is very much
pleased with the situation. Mr.
Gates is of the opinion that he may
be able to develop sufficient power
by the use of turbine wheel I'd
keep the plant running by water ex-
cept during the very dryest part of
the season, In order, however, to
Da prepared for all emergencies, it is
his intention to install steam plant
also and thus be insured against
breaks in conduit line or other un-
forseen accidents.
In the development of this water
power Mr.. Gates and his company
will be prepared to furnish electric
energy to Heppner, Lexington and
lone and all intervening points at a
rate much lower than that in force
at present. In fact, Mr.. Gates says
that it will be so cheap that it can be
used for cooking and hecting pur-
poses taking the place of wood and
coal and there will be an abundance
for mechanical and lighting purposes
as well. He has also found the fuel
situation in the mountains in the
vicinity of where the plant will be
built far better han he had antici-
pated.
Mr.. Gates has also been making
some preliminary surveys across the
divide between Willow and Skinner
creeks. and he may be able to bring
the water down Skinner, end in this
event about 700 horsepower could be
developed.

present time does not look good tl
those who contemplate carrying or
