Ingalls on "Opportunity" recalls the fail ure of this city to take advantage of conditions that come to a community but once in its history. The state is making arrangements to get a better water sup ply for the state capitol grounds. The last legislature installed apparatus to supply the members of that body with better drinking water. Several legislatures have taken action and begged the city to move in getting a better water supply. Several governors have pleaded with this city in their messages for a better water supply, and suggested joint ownership. Governor Benson and Governor West both argued in their messages for a better water system under public ownership. The state officials and the heads of the state institutions have been ready and willing to have the state co-operate with the city in getting public ownership and a gravity system. No city in the world has ever had the opportunities and the in ducements to take advantaage of the situation and help itself. There is not a city of any size in the state that would not bond itself for a million dollars to get the state capitol, and would covenant to supply pure mountain water to get the state institu tions. When the city spent thousands of dollars on surveys and ap pointed tne Capital Water Commission and a Water Board and voted $400,000 bonds it was doing right. The people were in earnest and did all that could be expected of them, and the state and the legislature did all that was asked of them, or that could be expected. But the whole matter has been defeated by the action of a capricious element in our city government that seeks to make horseplay of the most vital matters of public policy. A water plant that earned five per cent net on seven hundred thousand dollars investment could have been bought for half that sum ,and the first step taken toward public ownership. But all those opportunities have been thrown away, and all the state institutions are. to be given independent water supplies, and the city will have lost its ally and its best possible customer, if it ever does want to have public ownership. Such fatuous folly was never perpetrated on a capital of a state as has been accomplished in dealing with this matter. Those who oppose public ownership and an adequate water supply for the city and the staate institutions have done this community and the commonwealth an incalculable injury. Such an opportunity comes to a city and state but once for co-operation, and for doing the right thing at the right time and in the right way. The opportunity is perhaps gone for good, and the time will come when the most conservative element will lament that ac tion was not taken in time to save the situation and protect life and property. TARIFF BILL ' INTRODUCED TSITED FBESS LEASED WISE Washington, June 2. The Under wood tariff bill was introduced In the bouse today. Representative Burle son, of Texas, presented the Demo cratic caucus resolution, saying that the placing of a duty on wool was made a necessity through the "deple tion of the treasury caused by repre sentation extravagance." Representative Payne, of New York, father of the Payne tariff bill, took issue with the resolution. The house adjourned until Tuesday.

This is not unusual for he often gladdens Salemites that way, but he brought with- him this time about a dozen as fine trout as eve: graced a brooklet, set a reel's throat to singing or gladdened a fisherman's heart. Tom is the boss fisherman, Is personally acquainted with that part of the Salvetinus Fontinalis family whose home is in the Santiam. In fact Tom told us that he used to go to the same fish school that "Sal" at tended, and was an intimate friend of the whole Salmo family. The trout were a present to W. P. Bab cock. Tom, realizing that fish are a snlendidi brain food, and also that Mr. Babcock is a school director, thought the combination, would be beneficial to everybody, an opinion that Mr. Babcock will surely endorse, an thev tickle the gustatory nerves and his eyes seek the celling while his Adam's apple denotes by "every little movement with a meaning all its own.' that deglutition is taking place. Generous mlth, Lucky Bab cock, but "oh. you fish!" p, s. Since the above was in type the horse editor was presented a lot of those same fish by Mr, Smith. You will therefore pay no attention to the suggestion of their being bra'n food. o ' BANISH WEST INDIES VISITED BY EARTHQUAKE f UNITED mESS LEASED WIDE. St. George, D. W. I., June 2.

IRRIGATION Not only insures you a good crop, but double and oftentimes trebles your yieldB. It also enables you to raise various things which will not thrive during our long, dry summers without water, such as alfalfa, cel ery and onions. ' While many things grow In the Willamette valley without It, Irriga tion experiments at the Oregon Agricultural College have proven that it Increases the yields of everything experimented with, some of the in creases running as high as 180 per cent. An irrigation project lu this delightful climate should be worth double per acre, the price of projects east of the Cascades, where the surround ings are not nearly as beautiful to live In, and the climate much more severe, yet our prices are far cheaper than the majority of Eastern Ore gon and Washington projects.
