'THE OPEN RIVER MUST COME.

some danger of complicating the two projects the canal
and the railroad both of which were, intended to acconv
'plish the same purpose, though with much advantage, in
time of construction in favor of the railroad. It might have
been just as well to have completed the first project be
fore the second was undertaken: but as that was not the
-as it U now nuite artoarent that neither the one nor
the other can be dropped, and both must be worked to a
degree in conjunction. While the permanent relief will
undoubtedly come from the canal, and that must be built
r to" accomplish all the results, that are hoped for. it is ap
parent to every ope that no immediate relief could possibly
be expected from this source. When "almost a score of
years were occupied in building the Cascade locks, it could
scarcely be expected that the vaster undertaking could pos
sibly be completedJwithin less than half a dozen years, even
. with the conditions favorable and the appropriations flow
ing regularly. To maintain' the existing conditions Would
'simply be intolerable. What is needed is a result which.'
will make itself felt within the coming year. If all the pre
Hminariesjar settled so that work could be'seriously begun
in the spring, there is no good reason to believe thajt the,
eight and a half miles of road necessary to bridge the gap
between the Big Eddy and Celilo could not be filled by the
'railroad by the time next fall's crop movement begins.-
The results which -would flow from the. accomplishment
iof that purpose would be Immediate and probably far
reaching. The little portage road at the Cascades cost

cheapening of freight rates. A small reduction in rates
caused by the construction of the portage road above The
iDalles would accomplish precisely the same result in the
ctma erva M tim . Hut it wiiiliLtiece&sarilvmeanrrtore
than a small reduction, and would lead to other results not
'now quite so generally foreseen. . Indeed, to be perfectly
frank, the growth of the whole river country is retarded by
the combination which exists between the O. R. & N- and
the Northern Pacific and Great Northern.. The people of
the Inland Empire have, paid to have' their wheat moved to
Portland by a water-leVel route precisely what is charged
to carry at terrific expense and" under .extraordinary diffi
culties the same wheat over the mountains to the Sound.
So long as the arrangement lasts, and so long as the people
stand it, doubtless it will all be perfectly satisfactory to the
railroads' concerned. Of all the states in the. west, none
has been quite so complaisant with the railroads as Oregon.
It has simply taken whatihas been handed to it -It has
been liberally fed on promises, and these it has usually been
forced to accept as performances. . It has accepted them
"with the best grace imaginable, and so long as it continues
to do so its past history of retarded development will be re
peated indefinitely and perhaps emphasized. ';..
'Jn the matter of the open river it need not be expected
that anything will be accomplished without bitter and, im
placable opposition; It may now , be accepted as a fact
- that whatever is accomplished must be done in the face of
this opposition, whether it be manifested in open or covert

L-KbtnxMii one escape? That la the pre
clae axpreaalon of that mental condition,
which in the offlclaj and Journallatlo world
la translated tnto the words "For the Faith,
the caar and the fatherland." Those who
abandoning their hungry famUlea. go to "ut

glory and greatness of Russia.
yesterday, from a peasant I know, I re
ceived two letters, one after the other. -,
This Is the first:
- r Dttr. L.yof Nlkolaevltch Well, today I
hava received the official announcement of
mv na.ll to the service, tomorrow I must pre-
uni mvself at the headauartera. That ia
all. And after that-r-to the far east to meet
the Japanese bullets.
, - "About ny own, and my household's grief
I will not teU you; It la not you who will fall
to understand aU the horror of my position
and the horrora of war, aU thlB you hava
long ago painfully realised, and you under
stand It all. How I hava longed to visit you,
to hava a talk with you. I had written to
' you a long letter In which I described tha
torments of my soul; but I had ''not had tlma
to copy it, when I received my Bummona.
What Is" my wife to do .now with her four
"children? Aa an old man. of course, you
cannot do anything yourself for my folks, but
you might ask some of your friends In their
leisure to visit my orphaned family. I beg
"you earnestly that If mywlfa proves unable
to bear tha agony of her helplessness with
, her burden of children and makes up her
" mind to go to you for help and counaei you
will receive and console her. Although she
does not know you personally she belleyes la
your word, and that meana much. ,
'1 waa not able to resist the summons, but
I say beforehand that through me not ona
' Japanese family shall be orphaned. My
God! how dreadful Is all this how distress
ing and painful to abandon all by which ona
- Uvea and In which one is concerned." , , .,.
, Tha second letter Is aa follows:
"Kindest l.yof Nlkolaevitch-Only ona day
of actual service haa passed, and I hava al
ready lived through an eternity of most d--
nerate torments. From o'clock . in tha
mnrnlns till in the evening we hava been
crowded and knocked about to and fro in tha
barrack yard, like a herd of cattle, the com
edy of medical examination waa three- time
repeated, and those who had reported them
selves ill did not receive even 10 minutes'
attention before they were marked 'satis
factory.' When we, thera 1,000 satisfactory
Individuals, were driven from the military
commander to tha barracka, along the road
spread out for almost a verst stood a crowd
of relatives, mothers, and wlvea with infants
In arms, and if you had only heard and seen
how they clasped their fathers, husbands,
sons and hanging round their necks, walled
hopelessly. Generally I behave in a reserved
way and can restrain my feeling, but I could
not nold out, and I also wept." (In Journal
istic language thla same la expressed thus,
"Tha upheaval of patriotlo feeling la im
mense." "Where la the standard that can measure
all this Immensity of wow now spreading it
self over almost one third of tha world? And
we, we are now that food for cannon, which
In the near future will be offered aa a sac
rifice to tha god of vengeance and horror.
.' "I cannot manage to establish my inner
balance. Oh, how I execrate myself for thla
. double-mlndedness which prevents my serv
ing one master and God." ;
This man does not yet sufficiently belleva
that what destroya the body la not dreadful,
but that which destroys both the body and
the soul, therefore ha cannot refuse to go,
yet while leaving his own family h jfr-omit)
beforehand that through him not ona Japan
ese family shall be orphaned; ha believes In
tha chief law of God, the law of all rellglona
to act' toward' others aa. oner wishes other
to act toward one's Belt Of such men mora
or less consciously - recognising thla law,
thera are In our tlma, not in tha Christian
world alone, but In tha Buddhistic. Mahom
edan. Confucian and Brahaminlo world, not
only thousands "but millions.
There exist true heroes, not those who are
now being feted because, having wished to
kill others, they were not killed themselves,
but true heroes who are now confined In
prisons and in the province of Takoutsk for
having categorically refused to enter the
Tanks of murderers, and who hava preferred
martyrdom to thla departure from tha law
of Jesua..' Thera are also such as he who
writes to me; who go, but who will not kill.
But also that 'majority which goes without
thinking,, and endeavors not to think of what
it Is doing, still In the depth of Its soul, does
now already feel that It la doing an evil deed
by obeying authorites who tear men from
labor and from their families, and send
them to needless slaughter of men, repug
nant to their soul and their faith; and they
go only because they ar bo entangled on all
Bides that "Whr can ona escape?"
Meanwhile those who remain at home not
only feel this but know and express It. Yes
terday In the high road I met some peasants
returning from Toula. Oner of them waa
-reading a leaflet a he walked by the aide-of
his cart. -
. I asked "What Is that? a telegram?"
"This Is yesterday's but her la on of to
day." y - .' v. ' '
Ha took another out of his pocket We
atopped. I read It, - L .--' .---v-
"Tou ahould have seen what took plac
yesterday -t tha Btatlon," h Bald,, "it waa
dreadful.
"Wives, children, mora than a thousand
of them, weeping. . They surrounded th
train, but were allowed no further. Strang
ers wept, looking on. Ona woman from
Toula gasped and fell down dead; five child
ren. They hava ainc been placed in varloua
institutions, but th father waa driven away
all the same. What do w want With thla
Manchuria, or whatever it Is called. There
la sufficient land. , And what a lot of people
and of property haa been destroyed."
Yes, the relation of men to war Is now
quit different from that which formerly
existed even so lately aa th year 77. That
which 1 now taking plac never took plac
before, .f t- ,
The paper set forth that during tha re
ceptions of th caar, who is traveling about
Russia for the purpose of hypnotising th
men who ar being sent to murder. Indescrib
able enthusiasm is manifested among th
people. As a matter of fact, something
quit different Ms being manifested. From
all sides one hears reports that in on plac
three reservists have hanged themselves;

about a woman whose . husband had been
taken away bringing her children to tha con
scription committee room and leaving them
there; whil another hanged herself in -the
yard of th military commander. All are
dissatisfied,- gloomy, exasperated .The
words, "For th faith, tha king and th fath
erland." th national anthem and shouts of
' "hurrah," no longer act upon th people as
they onca did. Another warfare of a dlf
' f erent kind the struggling conscienclousness
' ot th deceit and sinfulness of th work to
which people ar being called Is more and
mors- taking possession of th people.
Yea, th great strife ot our time la not
that now taking plac between- Japanes
and th Russians, nor Mat wnicn may oiue

that atrif which la carried on by mine,

which without ceasing has gone on and Is
now going on between the enlightened con

';. VAST i world-wide movement is
now under way that promises
to completely change existing
M.uiAn vmaMk nf avrtlora-'
tton in the recesses of nature that have
rot been surveyed for 0 centuries are
now being opened up. The movement
began about 2i years ago, but attracted
lltue attention. Ten years later It was
heard of outside of limited circles; but
within the last live, yea, two years,
the research has gained great Impetus
and momentum. It is now expanding at
a most rapid rate, and in all intellectual
nations. In fact, its expansion is now
the standing marvel ef these . latter
ThY iramens ' new 'activity. 1 the
study of that Inscrutable mystery the
hsman mind. The hosts of the studies
of every description, kind and ramlu
catlon ar Included under one name
psychology, the science of mind. Socie
ties, classes, clubs and schools are now
springing up throughout the World and
complex laboratories ar Mf erected
at great expense, all for the study of
mind and Its properties and functions.'
Many obscure qualities of mind have
been discovered end latent faculties
that only await cultivation to expand
Into marvelous mental power. .The
most Intellectual races of antiquity de
voted centuries of attention to the study
of mind, and practically Ignored phys
ical science. The ancients made no
great Inventions. The modern races re
versed the process almost completely.
Thus: Blnce the revival , of learning.
A. t. K00. -men havs given tlw-lr lives
to physical, chemical and mechanical
sciences, ' developing railways, steam
ships, electric motors and lights, tne
telephone, telegraph, the telescope, wire
less telegraphy and the ocean newspa
per. View the 'nineteenth century. Men
used their minds with Intense activity,
but did not study them. They made
research into every known department
of nature,- exoept the greatest of all
mind. The explorations now going on
reveal new and Strang properties dally.
Dormant faculties are being discovered.
A few may be mentioned: Receptivity,
selection, storare. introspection, dlreo
tion, control and many others. Thus
A trained mind can receive all kinds of
thoughts and mental Impressions snd
then be sble to retain snd store them in
mental reservoirs or reject them en
tirely. - .
. Storage of what Is desired is a most
valuable acquisition,
r Introspection Is one of the marvels
of human mentality. . Thus a . skilled
Introspeotor ran recall a disrupted train
of thought; for should one be. Inter
rupted when writing, even in the mid
dle of a sentence, then after many years
be could finish the sentence ss original
ly intended. Two minds can be turned
to each other's "rates."- Then the per
sons can talk to each other-around the
world.. Telepathy waa common 40 cen
turies ago. The mind has many phases
how many la unknown.
The truth Is, very little Is known of
the human mind, but what is known
shows It to be far snd away beyond all
other subjects of study in Us magnifi
cence. Its mystical splendors are simply
Overpowering. It 1 so majestlo thai
even th boundaries have not yet been
traversed by th explorers. The mar-,
vels of Intuition, consciousness and per-,
caption have scarcely been studied so
far. '. ; , , . "; '..;'.'
Folse is a wonder. One having . it
has his mind under control as thorough
ly ss an electrician baa a motor. Il
limitable wonders ar comprehended
under the word concentration. The pos
sibilities of concentration are so greaf.
'that a book could be written - en the
subject. It was practiced by the an-'
clents for thousands of years. It is
perhaps impossible to Impress the minds:
of the readers with the magnitude of
this movement. , " .
They are actually studying the hu
man mind In our colleges now. In a
year or two doubtless aa much atten- -tton
will be given to it as to botany,
and entomology. Vast results beyond
anything that has . appeared i on earth .
aYe In sight. Wholesale changes ar.
due the moment the people . begin - to
realise the power - and properties ' of
mind. - - -
The first venerable'. Institution that
will be upset snd demolished so thor
oughly that the ruins cannot be mad
out in our present system of education.
Let it fall quickly. If a committee of
one from each of the planets in th
solar system should visit the earth,
with the intention of crushing the hu
man mind, for fear we should become
the "gods" and know more than they,
It woqld be Impossible for them ' to
devise a more absurd system of In
structing ths young man than that now
in dally use. The process of training
children from conception to birth and
to maturity should be reversed.
True child culture is at present un
known. Education now pays no atten'
tion to differences in th minds of child
ren, and laws of youthful minds are vio?
lated continuously. Kvery day minds
are ruined by forcing children, especi
ally girls,, to try to learn things which
their natures loathe. .The writer has
seen ' a refined poet weeping because'
she was forced to wear her life away
studying analytical , geometry, ' and th
mind of a sweet nature's artist almost
ruined by trigonometry. A born scurp
tor has been ordered to delve Into the
mysteries of differential equations. Trto
only approach to . teaching based on
laws of mind is Froebers "Kindergar
ten." ' The moment that the parents of
the United 8tates get a glimpse of the
laws of mind they will sweep our pres
ent sducatlonal system to oblivion. What
mother will permit her sweet, little,
delicate, nervous children to be placed
with coarse, rough, dull and phlegmaCe
pupils? f '
. Every court, from police trials up to
the supreme court of the United States,
will almost entirely change procedure.
Counties laws, ths rubbish of centu
ries, will be repealed. Total reversal
will be made In all kinds of prisons, re
formatories and penal institutions. Ab
solute change will be made in every in
sane asylum, poerhous and ehsrttabfo
institution.. The entire practice of
medicine will be upset the moment that
people find out about their mental na
tures. Upheavals and changes will oc
cur in civilization, drdiu, suiwru ana
lives, th Ilk of which is not recorded
In history.
The greatest of ' all changes, ' how- ,
ever, will be In the way of race-culture.,
the management of children, and be-
yond this, if possible, something new
the training of parents. - Parents will be
taught psychic laws for the first time
in SO centuries. Every person seeking
to be employed as a teacher Of any -kind
will be rigidly examined in pay-
"chology; If theyvknow nothing of th
laws of mind, certificates will be refused.
But now a sad scene ia presented. It
i h niiinno . iui tut www art ir.ii
movement Is Immediately beset and sur
rounded by harpies, fakers, ' swindlers
and deceivers. Our treat cities are in
fested with falters who display their un
mistakable signs, to impose upon th

it mlleafrom Prlnevjlle, Is certainly an
Interesting on at thla tlm When all
the energy which characterise a boom
town la in evidneei-nd the lltUe plaos
ia mwlng ahead at a rapid rate. On all
sides the sound of the hammer1 and the
stw la heard, and where but a very few
mnnths sgn but thre . business houses
were located, many times that number
are now In evidence and others are be
ing constructed snd planned, while resi
dences in like number are making their
appearance as rspldly as workmen can
accomplish their construction.
An' unstinted amount ofVdVertlsing
haa brought to that section would be
settlers from every state In the union,
who are lured thither -by the brilliant
Inducements offered: - As Is usual In
such cases some find their expectations
met to a certain degree, while others
succumb to discouragement while cross
ing th arid desert from Prlnevllle to
Bend and see. no grounds for the-brlght
future predicted for that section. How
vegetation can thrive where frosts make
their appearance every month in the
year la a mooted question, answered by
the claim that the effect of irrigation on
the atmospheric condition will solve' th
problem. Another drawback they claim
Is the coil of maintaining the land, the
cost of irrigating bejng a dollar an acre
after the land has seen secured, which,
together with taxes, etc.. will bring run
ning expenses yearly on 140 acres to
much ovsr f 200. i
A brief review of the fact as well ss
the claims for the future of this section
will no doubt be Interesting. -
An Irrigation company, composed for
the moat part of Ohio capitalists, among
thenl a coal man of great wealth, baa
acquired water rights, which, when de
veloped, will put under water 400,000
acres of land contiguous to Prlnevllle,
the water coming from the Des Chute
BndCjrnOkeL.rlvex.wAt tlt point the
t)es Chutes river f urnlahes more water
In the course of the season, according to
close observation, reinforced by govern
ment surveys, than the Willamette
river. . The bed of the river will not hold
aa many ruble inches of wster. but on
account of the swiftness of the current
more water Is rarrled past a given point
than by the Willamette.
' La at February the company mentioned
bought out two rival (, Irrigation com
panies and at one instituted th work.
which will probably develop Into the
greatest private undertaking ' In ' this
class in the United States. The com
pany haa now completed. a 10-foot ditch
covering 40.000 acres of land, which will
cover 44.000 more acre when enlarged
next winter.
It has now in eottrse" of construction
another ditch' 10 feet wide and feet
deep and ?0 miles long, and haa another
ditch planned which will be dug as soon
ss ths last one mentioned sbove Is in
operation, which will be 110 feet wide
snd feet deep and approximately 100
miles long.
Th company, under Its new "segre
gation," has set aside and withdrawn for
entry under th Carey law, 117,000 acres
of land-r-conalderably less thsn one-half
the amount the ditches dug, being dug
and which are surveyed and will be dug,
will furnish water for.
The contract with the. state specifies
that th water la to be put on the land
at an average cost of 110 per acre in-
some Instanoes the water must neces
sarily coat more than that sum, and In
many other case much less.
Ths stat engineer ha appraised the
land each 40 separately, valuing it at
from $14.75 forthe- best, to ae low aa
f HO. The contract with the state gives
the company a lien on the land for the
appraised value, Purchaser front i the
company of land under these 'various .
u . 1 t .v. i r in
stallments, or the purchaser, can pay
for It all at the time of purchase; or in'
part or entirely at any time that may
suit him. '
. Four railroads, all surveyed, are said
to be headed for the De Chutes coun
try; one from the Klamath laks coun
try will connect directly with (he north
ern California lines; snother rrom di
rectly west across the Cascades will be
built throuah to Ontario. Another la
projeoted rom th Columbia river due
south from the Dalle, and the fourth
will be an extension ' of th Shantko
brane .. ; , .
