And thanks to our inexpensive deep wells there's another million available. V Cherry trees in the Grande Rondo Valley are loaded with beautiful fruit. One cherry grower estimates that not less than 80 carloads will he shipped from the Cove anj Union districts this year and the price looks extremely attractive. This, together' with what some wheat growers say is the best grain crop in years, promises a prosperous season for Union county. Secretary Wilbur gave the people of Oregon food for thought when he recently urged the development of parks, the presei'vation of timber along our highways, the develop ment of those natural advantages that attract the tourist, lie emphasized the economic value of state and national parks, the tremendous dividends occasioned by tourist busi ness year after year, contrasting with the cutting of timber nnd the consequent destruction of existing capital. Timber resources must be utilized, but scenic resources deserve de- I velopment with equal enorgy. Tourist travel to the Paoifi; Northwest is increasing year after year. Patronage at Crater Lake national pnr.k jumps by leaps and bounds each season the means of bringing hundreds of thousands of dollars into Oregon. Assets of that character are, as Jlr. Wilbur indicated, too little appreciated In Oregon. NO SURPLUS FROM IRRIGATED LANDS Fear that irrigated lands will increase production and add to the present crop surpluses earned u broadside from Sen ator Steiwer when he arrived in Portland yesterday. It's an old notion, one that has been held by otherwise intelli gent agriculturalists, and deserves an even more concen trated explosion than Mr. Steiwer provided. Irrigated lands have about as much effect on t,he wheat surplus as the city man's vegetable garden. Tracts in irrigation districts are too expensive, too well adapted to more profitable crops, to be used for wheat production. Very little wheat is grown on irrigated land, as the senator pointed out, and opposition to irrigation on that ground is ridiculous. The Columbia River Hasin project is the subject of bitter criticism in the middle west and east because of the added acres that would Imj brought into production. Yet it would take twenty years lo complete it and get crops growing, with the natural gain in population in that time more than sufficient to consume many times what the Hasin would produce. As in Malheur county, practically none of the land would be suitable for the growing of present surplus crops. It would be devoted to specialized crops alfalfa, vegetables, fruits, berries. Dairy ing would flourish, and the increased consumption of dairy products at the present time, together with the consumption indicated by greater population, argue that profitable cows will be as much in demand thirty years from now as they are today. Irrigation, applied to thousands of acres of idle land in the Pacific Northwest, is uno of the most important con siderations in the development of this area. To have various projects go I'orwaid means sound prosperity and permanent growth for these states. To have them held back because of a senseless fear of crop surpluses is to destroy one of the vital resources of Oregon. The trouble is that distance lends itself to ignorance and misunderstanding. If we could bring some of the political wheat and corn growers of the middle west and some of the apartment house congressmen of the east out to see the Yakima country, for example, it would not be difficult to destiny that ideu of crop competition, No one who knows the rich and abundant yields of Yakima irrigated hinds can place any blame for a wheat surplus on that sec tion. And the hundreds of carloads of butter and cheese and eggs and xiultry shipped out of Southern Idaho irrigated districts each year, when known first hand, m scarcely be cited as a bad influence on the price of corn or cotton. Con trol of surplus crops is important, without question, but there are hundreds of crops of which this country produces an in adequate quantity. They should be promoted and devolo) nient of suitable irrigation projects is a fundamental part of that promotion. Fliers Inspect Plane; May Fly ; To French City i ItO.MK, July 12.

Th j work of packing in preparation for i the mblniK'H trip was actually j xtut-tinir before the show last niKht had ended, as Ih the usual custom, ' l-'eatures of the show included j 'Tunko" and "Mighty Tusko." the ' hiiKc ebmhants; the dainty and ex j peri Japanese wire walker, und, ! of course, the trained hor.scs und I their experienced riders. I Ninoinl llnhy Timers I tut there was more than tho rim; atti-actlons to interest the crowds this year. In the f?roup off caves housiaff the tlKers there were several baby cats that drew admir- ! iuK remarks from onlotdiors. One , liner Rave birth to three kittens In i Pocnteilo, Ida., recently, and, only In week old, the trio bears the name j of the Idaho city.. One. named J "Polka, " one "Telia" and the other ("Idaho." The other", kittens are about two months of ukc. i ' rnbpioCaiil Gume j ' A newspaper reporter yesterday j afternoon was guided around bo , hind the scenes at the circus, drop ' Jdnt? in on tho kitchens, dressing ; rooms. Mtables, power plant, bar j ber shop, sideshows, etc. In I he sideshow tent, while tho five-rinfc afternoon performance was under way in the bljr tent, a card game was beintr played that was, to say the least, unl(iie. Hih Hill, said to i be the tallest man In the country; u woman fortune teller, who of ; course knew her aces; the ticket ; seller, and tho armless man were i engaged In a pinochle contest. Hut it was the armless man that was I ho most interesting, holding' his I 12 cards, perfectly assorted accord ing to suit, between his big and second toes. When U came his turn to play, he flicked' the pasteboard onto the table with the other foot with ull the abandon of an ordin ary man. They, say he shaves him -Helf with his fct-t, and the reporter Haw no reason to express doubt af ter wntehlnR hinf play cards. The circus is complete in itself, having-all the parts of a small city. Jt could play In a sandy desert miles from anyone, without any inconvenience, unless one took In to consideration the lack of a "Kate." Large, dining rooms feed the more than l,uo circus men and the more than l.ooo circus men and midgets have a. table or their own, somewhat lower in height than tic' other. Hut there- was no tall tabl? for High Hill. Sanitary Measures Sanitation Is one of the big items In keeping a circus moving. The circus hero was equipped with everything to Insure the best of sanitation, and a doctor and nurses accompany it from town to town. In spite of the constant moving many miles per day, the show is kept "spick and pun," from eating utensils to sleeping quarters.- t is ready to pass any health Inspection ut any time. During the winter the circus goes Into quarters at Hollywood, break ing up in part, although many or the performers spend the winter perfecting new acts.
