The train was held up Just outside the Portland city limits. ut only a trifle was secured.. Importance of Touch Scne. Physiology teaches us that "the sum of knowledge which may be de rived through touch alone is greater than that" which may be derived throuhg any other sense." A thor oughly developed sense of touch Is one of the absolute essentials of the prac ticing, osteopathlst. Without this one acquirement his work in practice can amount to but little. It is not to be implied, however, that the osteopath relies only upon the Bense of touch in his work, for his respect for ' other' methods of diagnosis Is as great as that of any medical practitioner; al though relative values of the different diagnostic measures may be changed. A carefully educated sense of touch Is the keynote to both osteopathic diag nosis and operative technique. From the very nature of the osteopathic con ception the physical body viewed as a mechanism whose disordered or diseased conditions demand anatomi cal readjustment it is Imperative that a delicate and educated sense of touch be acquired in order to logically and successfully apply Its tenets.

The extremely low price for which Grande Ronde land owners "can se cure perpetual water rights under the present system now being promoted here Is exemplified In the following from the Boise Capital News: The Idaho Irrigation company has made application to the state board of land commissioners for an Increase to $50 per acre for water rights under the Dietrich segregation, embracing 50,000 acres. The land board has taken the matter under consideration pending a report from the state engi neer. The application for an Increase from $35 to $50 is made on account of there being from 25 to 30 per cent of the first segregation of 100,000 acres, un salable land and not readily suscepti ble of Irrigation. In view ,of the fact that the company will be to about $650,000 expense in raising the dam, constructing canals and enlarging tho system, the application has been made to the state board of land commission ers for the Increased ' price. ' The height of the .dam will be Increased about 20 feet at an approximate cost of $150,000. The capacity of the retaining reservoir will be Increased from 150,000 acre feet to 180,000 acre feet by the addition to the dam. In order to get water to list No. 22 or the lands under what Is known as the Deitrlch- segregation, some 20 miles of main canal will be built, Cot tonwood slough enlarged and a diver sion dam constructed In the Little Wood river. The cost-of such con struction aggregates $500,000. The application has been taken un .eo.n9lderat.lon by the state board, pending a report from the state engi neer covering the features above out lined and included In the application of the Irrigation company.
