vide 225,000-atre feet of water. The
-realization of the fact that "Little
drops of water on little grains of sand
makes a mighty difference In the
price of land," has been the means of
great development In tho Northwest.
The Idea when a farmer can step out
and turn a faucet and Irrigate his farm

are tumbling over each other to pay

An usual the Normal school problem
Is before the legislature. Bills for the
creation of two new schools and the
maintenance of a total of five, with
amendments to retain the three now
In existence and with a strong follow
ing to abolish all and provide for one,
and that to be located at Portland.
There Is much that can be said In fa
vor of this last proposition, and If
economy and excellence Is sought this
proposition will be the ono carried out.
One good school is much better than
three or five Inferior ones, and the
same money expended on one will
provide better equipment than could
be expected to maintain several.
