"If tub price of potatoes goes too

Tim urgent need of un elastic

one who has ever tried to make f
WO bill stretch to cover all the ex
fonses of a two weeks' vacation.
An Indiana man committed
suicide because his wife wont home
to her mother. This probably
completes the list. Men have now
committed suicide for everything
under the sun.
Ii the young New York banker
who has juBt made $3,000,000 on
1he bear doal in stocks is wise, he
will get out of the market per
aianently now and see how many
good things he can find in life.
Most of the old soldiers from this
section, who attended the Grand
Army Encampment nt San Fran
cieco, have returned. They report
buying enjoyed several days of as
good a time as they ovor did in their
JivoB. San Francisco did horsolf
proud as an ontortainer, and no ex
ipcinao was spared to make the old
warriors happy. Everything was
:reo to the old Boldiots. If a person
was woaring the blue suit and brasB
buttons ho couldn't pay streot car
:fares; ho couldn't pay ferry fares,
oor could ho buy fruits. All these
were thrown at him as frcoly as rolls
the waters of the groat Pacific. Jt
'is told that a couplo or throe of the
old boys from the east enjoyed tho
fetivitios to such an extent that
dhoy indulged too freely in spirits,
but thoso the policemen did not eeo
-3t rather did see but thore were
ao arrestB made they woro taken
care of as kindly ns a fond mother
gathers her prod'gal boy to her
learthstone only thore were no
illiastieenients; no bar h words
upjkon just a spirit of gunrdiun
sliip and protection and a deter
mination that no harm should come
to tho buys in blue while within the
borders of the Pacific coast .uotrot
oHb. Oi.n Okkiiok sold more govern
ment land last year than any other
woBtorn stale. Over two million
tiollur were recciwd from all
auurciM from giiverniiii'tit laud. Of
bia amount, nil, except five per
ont., which goos into the sclioil
fand, will be expended in reclaim
ing tho deseit bind of the state.
Several irrigating systems are now
fnipopod, and it will not bo ninny
years before the deserts of Hnatorn
Oregon will bo watered and made
babitiible and productive for the
thousands of settlers who will ac
quire title to tho land under the
desert not. The fact that Oregon
kaa now contributed between $2,
500,000 and ,000.000 to the re
clamation fund will no doubt serve
as an incentive to the Interior Do
f irtment to hasten its examination
f proposed irrigation projeote east
f the Cascade mountains, in order
that tho state may soon receive
onio practical benefit from its
'.herwiae active laud bttsinosa.
Certainly no Bin In is entitled to
more recognition than Oregon.
Once the government completes an
irrigation system in the state, the
kin Is openc.l up thereby will con
tribute lo the reclamation fund ili-
jct, at the law provides that the
settlers shall repay lo the Govern
si 'lit in ten annual installments
the actual cost of the construction
of storage reservoirs a d canals
built by Government aid. This
contribution, however, will bo in
addition to funds turned into tho
Federal Treasury each year from
tegular entries and sales.
