So that, as the Americana assemble In their churches on the day set apart for expressing na tional gratitude, they will rejoice above all else that the nation of free men has adopted as its motto: "Whom the Lord makes free Is free Indeed." Let them rejoice that America Is bent upon proclaiming liberty to the entire tonnds of the earth.'

ORH)N IRRIGATION DISTRICT Continued from page 1 -of patented unsold land, valued at $45 per acre; i.OOtf acres of un sold excess acreage, valnod at $80 per acre, and $30,000 uncollected maintenance. All lands In the Dis trict are to be relieved from all in cumbrances and delivered to the dis trict title free. In the matter of water rights, the district Is guaranteed all the water that can be taken In at the head gates. This practically means a prior right to all of the natural flow of the Deschutes river and a term of year is named In which the district baa to determine how. much of this water Is needed. Under the terms of con tracts to settlers 1.8 second feet Of water per acre was permitted each year. Many farmers have declared that this amount Is not sufficient to irrigate the land tor all crops, and under the contract five years are given to determine this feature, state or federal officers to make the de cision. In the event that it la uut sufficient an additional amount It to be granted. I The guarantee of all the water that may be taken in at the head gates, accordng to the officials, should make it poesble tor the district to sell water to other lands lying in the neighborhood of the canals. Through the improvement of the canals, which will prevent seepage. It la estimated that the flow can be Increased to a greater extent than will be necessary to operate the lands of the district. "It muBt be understood," Mr. Thompson declared today, "That the company had previously sold alt of Its rights to the North Unit district. The Central Oregon Irrigation dis trict had previously tried to deal with the company and were unable to do so. Following the purchose of the company rights by the North Unit district, that district had no use for our rights, and because of this fact it was impossible for us to secure a bet ter bargain than we could have hoped to gain in dealing with the company alone. The contract is entered Into with the North Unit district and the Central Oregon Irrigation company jointly. This will Insure this district that In the event the North Unit peo ple fall t live up to the terms of their contract it Is still effective with the company." The Central Oregon Irrigation dis trict embraces approximately 50,000 acres of land, of which nearly 8,000 are now under cultivation. Under the control of the district and nth ted the company eliminated It Is expect that the number of acres under cultS vation will be greatly Increased dur ing the coming year. As soon as the contract has been signed by the company and the North Unit district, a district election will be held to vote bonds for the amount necessary to take over the holding of the company. This election will be held sometime early In January." w. a. i. THE EFFECT OF WORRY t Some of the best physicians in the United States have agreed that the most harmful thing that can be done in connection with the Spanish In fluenza situation is to be afraid of the disease, worry about it and at tempt to run from it. Prlneville has indeed been fortun ate in connection with the disease, and Individuals should be none the less vigilant In avoiding conditions that would encourage Its spread. Physicians have stated freely for years that victims of disease are those who are in the poorest physical or mental condition to withstand attacks which are easily and many times un consciously thrown oft by a more healthy and vigorous Individual. From an editorial In the Inquirer If Philadelphia we extract the follow ing: "Panic Is the worst thing that can happen to an individual or a com munity.. Panic is exaggerated fear. and fear Is the most deadly word in any language. The fear of influenza is creating a panic, an unreasonable panic that will be promoted, we sus pect, by the drastic commands of the authorities. Let a person become excited over the dally reports of new cases; let him brood over them; let mm snaice nis nead in dismay and with every little ache or pain that vasty be harmless in itself give himself over to dismal imaginings, and he Is providing a fertile field for attack. His mind fears it, becomes receptive to it. Invites it." w, s. KING SOLOMAN IN OUR MIDST After a trial replete with-objec-tlons to the relevency of testimony of a witness on cross examination, the case of the State of Oregon vs. Chas. Thornwalte, charged with as sault and battery upon the person of Frank Winer, was brought to a close this morning when Justice of the Peace Eastus, sitting as a committing magistrate, refused to bind the de fendant over to the grand Jury, but dismissed him with a severe repri mand for attempting to take the law In his own hands. The court ex plained tnat while be thought the de fendant had nverntpnnpri Ma .ltita yet he did not think that the ends of justice couiq De any nearer approach ed by carrying the case to the grand Jury and causing the county to spend a hundred or two dollars in investi gating and prolonging a personal fight between the parties. The com plaining witness, Frank Winer, Is a horse trader from Prineville, and the trouble arose over a horse trade. Yea, verily, we say all the Solo mons are not dead yet. Bend Press. w. .
