POCBTLESS TRUE.
asserted that
While the attention of the country
was fastened upon the war and
events growing out of it. the House
of Representatives passed bills of the
first importance to the country, es
pecially to the West. These are the
bills providing for lease of water
power sites and of coal, phosphate,
nil cas. Dotassium, and sodium land
on the public domain, commonly
known as the conservation bills.
Passage by the Senate and approval
by the President of the law providing
that Alaska coal land be leased
nrnves their acceptance of the leas
ing policy. Hence we may expect the
Senate to pass the other bills at the
session beginning in Decemebr, if
time permits. The Government will
then be launched on a new career as
a trreat landlord, and the Secretaries
of War and of the Interior will begin
to do the greatest rental business in
the world.
There are two water-power bills,
one relating to construction of dams
on navigable rivers and the other re-
lntine to Dower sites on public lanu
along non-navigable streams. Both
provide for lease for fifty years at
rentals to be fixed in the one case by
the Secretary of War, in the other by
the Secretary of the Interior. Leases
mav be renewed at the Secretary's
discretion or the plant constructed
under them may be acquired by the
Government after three years' notice
or may be leased to a new lessee,
states, cities and counties having the
nreference. The former lessee is to
ABSTRACT OF THE OFFICIAL COUNT
Of the. Vote Cast in Each Precinct of Morrow County for State,
District and County Officers, on Tuesday, Nov. 3, VA4.
It has been often
when Senator Chamberlain was on
the ticket, there was little use for
onv nther Democrat to aspire to an
election. Republicans even had the be compensated for tangible proper
temerity to call attention to this, and
during the campaign jusi ciobeu,
pointed to past history to prove the
assertion. The following, under the
heading, "The Only Chance," is from
the Oregon Messenger, of Salem, a
stand-pat Democratic weekly, and
acknowledges the corn, now that the
election is over and "Our George"
comes out the only Democrat of the
entire state ticket having a majority
recorded in his favor and entitled to
a certificate of election. The Messen
ger says:
"Sometime, when Chamberlain
dies, if he ever does, maybe there
will be a chance for some other Dem
ocrat to be elected in Oregon. Why
it is so, nobody knows, but it is a fact
that no other Democrat has ever
been elected in this State when run
ning on the same ticket with Cham
berlain. He seems to be a Jonah to
the party, but a Jonah that always

is so well known that his name on
the ballot completely overshadows
every other candidate. If he should
decide ever to locate in New York,
he could be President. If he lived
in Germany, and Kaisers were elec
ted, he would be wearing William's
crown the next day after the first
t,.iw was taken on kings. From
this on, we are going to vote for
Chamberlain until death separates
us."

As indicating the splendid and
substantial financial condition of
Morrow county, attention is rallett
to the statement of the First Nation
al Bank, published elsewhere in these
columns. We doubt if there is an
other institution, representing a
similar field, in the entire Northwest,
that can make such a showing. The
statement is interesting from several
points of view aside from indicating
the prosperous condition of this
county and the adjacent territory

such as good will. The value is to
be cost, less depreciation, and is to
be fixed by the Secretary and the les
sees, or, In case they disagree, by the
United States Court. Combination is
forbidden and not more than 50 per
cent of the current generated at any
plant is to be sold to one party.
Leases without charge may be given
to mumnicipal corporations or not in
excess of twenty-five horsepower to
individuals or associations for ao-
mestic. mining or irrigation use.
The question around which most
controversy has raged is that of rate
and eaDital regulation. The House
voata rnntrol in Secretary of War
or of the Interior in the case of les-
opos servlne a territory or two or
more states, or a single state which
has no regulative body until such a
body is created, but in the case of
nower sites on public lands provision
is made for regulation in the future
by "such body as may be authorized
by Federal statute."
The contention cf those who advo
cate state regulation is that rates
should be controlled entirely by the
states. Where power Is transmitted
across state lines, they favor agree
ment between the states on rates, the
constitution permitting interstate
treaties with approval of the Gov
ernment.
The. rovalties from waterpower ns
well as from coal and other mineral
lands are to be used in reclamation,
and when repaid by settlers, are to
be divided equally between the Gov
ernment and the state. The latter
are to use them in education ana
public works.
The passage oi mese umo, u.

We could produce phosphate in many

could manufacture all the nitrates

About the worst piece of uncen
sored war news that has come to our
notice is that which tells of the
-Pronr-h Hiireeon-maior who
woo wounded 97 times and is recov
tha
ering. It seems, aixummB
dispatch, that none of the vital or
gans were touched. He says that
he no longer has the desire to die
that first beset him. He says that
ing of his wounds he says, "Luckily
no vital organ has been touched. It's
true I've lost an ear; I can hear no
innsr on mv right side, and my head
is all sewn up; my right arm is
pierced through to the bone; my
back has as many holes in it as a
sponge; my ribs are all cut about,
and my unfortunate legs are tat

artistic. But here I am. Have you

shells are not up to much."
The recent election In Oregon has
had a wide spreading influence and
has called forth comment from all
ir,, nf the country. The chief
OCVUUHO " - -
subjects of discussion have been
"Oregon Dry" and the reelection of
Senator Chamberlain. The following
extract from a letter received in
Heppner from a former Oregon citi
zen now residing in Texas is typical
of the impressions formed at that
distance from the scene of battle.
The letter reads:

will be a lot of Texans who will have

to say nothing of that great army in
Kentucky.
But again out of the maelstrom
is the beautiful sign of a reduction
in the swashbucklers majority In
both houses. In the House 19 will
be the majority, yet Democratic op

endorsement of the present ad
