Would he not also form a combination with cap italists that wnnt valuable privileges Just as Dia has done? It Is very like ly he would. South American and Central American patriots are usually very virtuous while they are out of of fice. When placed In power they usu ally make the most of their opportu nities to build up their power and to enrich themselves. ry becoming rich they become more powerful. Mexico cannot well have a truly republican government and a good one until the mass of people become more enlightened. Mexico's government, like other governments, must be what the people make it. It may be though that Mexican intelligence is Improving and that it is now time for an im provement in the government. THE HOLLY. The boughs are all bare save the holly bough there; Cry hey, cry ho, for the holly! How Its leaves show their sheen in the Christmastide air. As green as the spring and as fresh and as fair! Crey hey, cry ho, for the holly! Oh, the berries are bright as the morn's vermeil light, Crey hey, and cry ho, for the holly! A boon in the noon do they seem to the sight; Like the gleam of a dream at the droop o' the night! Crey hey, and cry ho, for the holly! Let us deem them a sign of a - dawning divine Crey hey, and cry ho, for the holly! As the branches we hang, as the branches we twine Of His love for mankind that has ceased not to shine! Crey hey, and cry ho, for the holly! Clinton Scollard. TllE MONEY MARKET. Throughout the northwest at this time a slight money stringency is noticeable. It is generally attributed to the unwillingness of farmers to dispose of their products for the prices offered. This is evidently the case for it is a fact that there is much wheat still in the hands of the grow ers. In his last weekly financial review Henry Clews speaks of this situation in the west but says it means nothing serious. In the east money now ap pears to be easier. As pointed out by Mr. Clews this Is due to the contrac tion of credit, retrenchments in ex penditures, dullness of trade and les sened speculative activity. Because of these things the supply of loanable funds is steadily Increasing and there may soon be a glut of idle money. This Is the usual condition following a period of extreme activity. It is also one of the best cures for business depression. Money does not like to remain Idle. In the financial world as elsewhere the tendency is for na ture to cure improper conditions and this it usually does when nature is al lowed to take Its course. BOLD THE M'KAY PROJECT. Chicago. Religious authorities es timate that the population of heaven will eventually be Increased by half million souls as the result of .the great religious revival which has stirred Chicagoans to the utmost. There Is scarcely a person in the city it is said, but has been affected by the crusade and induced by precept and example to lead a better life. Chicago. Gamblers and sporting men of Chicago believe that the com ing year will be the most prosperous In the recent history of the city for their ilk. The report has gone forth that 1911 will usher In a "wide open regime," with pugilism, racing and gambling going on with the lid off. The racing interests plant to reopen three tracks and to resume bookmak ing, reviving the past glories of the game. f In striving to irrigate their lands through use of the flood waters of McKay creek the farmers of that sec tion are showing enterprise and it is gratifying to know they are staying with their scheme even though they have met with obstacles. It should be possible to use the wa ters of McKay creek for irrigation purposes. Adjacent to that stream is land that may be greatly improved through the use of water. The flow of the stream is such that the water may be placed upon the land. As to how this should be done is an engi neering problem and the farmers have had a capable engineer in the person of J. T. Whistler to advise them. But if the McKay project cannot be carried out one way it may by an other. If it cannot be carried out up on a large scale it may be accomplish ed upon a smaller scale. If a reser voir cannot be constructed so as to provide perennial irrigation at least the flood waters can be utilized for winter irrigation. Experience in oth er portions of eastern Oregon show that winter irrigation may be carried on with good results. Winter irriga tion means annual crops instead of bi ennial crops. It means diversified farming instead of wheatraising. Put the proper amount of moisture into the soil during the winter and spring and then conserve it by tillage and good yields may always be obtained. If the McKay creek people cannot afford a reservoir at the start they might try winter irrigation for a few years. If they do it is the belief of this paper that their land will soon become so productive and so valuable that they will be able to build a reser voir and obtain perennial irrigation if they wish to do so. H'-re's to the McKay creek farmers and their project. Stay with the Job gentlemen and you will win ' out. Nothing that's good is easy. At Rexburg, Idaho, a school build Ing caught fire while 600 pupils were busy at their desks. But the children were 'well drilled for Just such an em ergency and they all marched from the burning structure and none were injured. It was a triumph for disci pline, for the building was entirely de stroyed and therefore there was real danger of a panic among the children Judge Bean's successor as circuit judge will .doubtless be very glad that the east end water rights have been adjudicated. It took Judge Bean five years to learn what he knows about that case. See what mental effort the new man will be saved. Perhaps it would make the coal mln-s more safe if a law could be passed requiring the owners to spend a certain portion of their time down In the shafts. Now that the rates on upper berths have been ordered reduced there will be some satisfaction for the unfortu nate traveler who is forced to sleep near the roof. From all that is said it would look like the prospects for the engineers strike are very threatening. Still men seldom fight when they start in by talking about It Any Christmas package looks nicer and brighter with a Red Cross stamp upon it. THE FEMININE REASON. ill : Absolutely Pure The only baking powder made from Royal Grape Cream of Tartar Ho Alum, Ho Urns Phosphate AS YOU LIKE IT. HARDY ROSE BUSnES. There are several reasons why roses are not trellised around tne north pole, one of these being that Peary started before M. F. D'Arcy, of this city, had got far enough ad vanced in his scheme of "Esquemau" arboriculture to make the experiment worth trying. Mr. D'Arcy had a hundred bushes still blooming In his outdoor garden. One day last week a frost spread a lace-work of ice crystals over the ponds of Andover, yet the harly rose bushes put forth their frail buds of pink and white next day as if noth ing had happened. Yet the place where they bloom is exposed to the sweep of the autumn winds. There Is no magic about It, Mr. D'Arcy explains. It is merely a new justification of the habit of dally cold bathing. These bushes get a shower bath of unwarmed water every morn ing before sunrise. This prevents the frost from harming them. Their owner says one can make roses bloom at any time of the year with proper care. Mr. D'Arcy's rose bushes had two sets of blooms last year, the first starting In June and the blossomB of the second crop lasting until after Christmas. Andover. Mass., Special to New York American. HOW TO EAT WAFFLES. The recently defeated nominee for governor of Ohio is very fond of waf fles. "I have a regular formula for eat ing waffles," said Mr. Harding to a friend, "and I recommend It to every one. You eat the first fourteen waf fles without syrup, but with lots of butter. Then you put syrup on the next nine, and the last half dozen you eat Just simply swimming In syrup. Eaten that way, waffles never hurt anybody." Success Magazine. THE MEXICAN REVOLT. The charges made against the Dim government by such revolutionists as Az Cona are probably entirely true. There can be no doubt but that while Mexico has been a republic in name it has been a despotism In fact. Mexi cans have eleeti d o president at regu lar intervals or at least they went through the form of doing so. But the Mexican elections have not been like elections in this country. It U charged that the Diaz people have al ways taken steps to prevent formid able opposition. Whenever a danger ous rival to Diaz has appeared he has been shot on some trumped up charge thrown Into Jail or forced to leave the country. Under such conditions It Ik not surprising that Diaz has been re elected time after time. So It would appear that the revolu tionists hare ample grounds for try log to overthrow the government The question arises though aa to what Do you ever feel down in the dumps As cranky and cross as two sticks, When life seems a road full of bumps And your spirits are all in a mix? Would you know why you're in such a fix? Why with Inward forebodings you're gnawed? The reason, five times out of six. Is called Gladys, or Phoebe, or Maude, Did you ever feel light as an elf? As free and as blithe as the air? As pleased as old Punch with your self, .Without e'er a trouble or care? Would you know why the world keems so fair. And life's way so smooth and so broad? The reason (exceptions are rare) Is called rila lys, or Phoebe, or Maude. In short. If you feel gad or blue. Or your spirits with joy overrun; When you feel that with life you'd be through. And with the gray world you'd be done; When you're bubbling all over with fun, When from coldness your attitude's thawed, Tho reason ten chances to one, Is called iJiadyH, or Phoebe or Maude. X. Salsbury In Puck. WOMEN AS VOLUNTEERS. Mrs. St. Clair Stobert founded the Women's Sick and Wounded Convoy corps, which works In connection with the Red Cross in England. The wo men who Join the corps are all seri ous and the work is voluntary, and even the uniform could be said to ellrnct them, as it is very simple and unadorned. The women take train ing in their work, go into camp and so on, and hold themselves ready in any national emergency to go to work. WILL INFLUENCE FASHIONS. Tt Is possible that King Onorge and Queen Mary may be crowned on June 23, although the date has not been definitely fixed. It Is said, however, that It will Influence the fashions very much next summer and that purple fnd Its related tints of violet will be the popular early summer shades of to'or. London, of course will be the mecca of people from all parts of the world, and seats are already booked for the event. To AM Plnpiio Victims. A Christmas shop at the Waldorf- Astoria In New York, .has attracted large crowIs of society people. The funds raised will be devoted to the work of the Stony Wold sanitarium in the Adirondacks, where self-supporting women and little children afflict ed with Incipient tuberculosis are brought back to life and health.
