EDITORIAL I BRIDGES Y OU cannot cross, a bridge until you come, to it, but you can't, cross the river with out it. The great bridges that span the Niagara River may be of little Use to the New Yorker, but when he wants to go to Canada he finds them a necessity. Every successful life is built upon the prop osition of preparedness. The man who refuses to acknowledge the fact that some day he will be in need, is going to find himself in a serious predicament when he least expects it. The great trouble with many men and women is they live from day to day, with no thought of tomor row. Today's earning are spent as soon as earn ed or before. Much 6f the world's poverty is due to this hand-to-mouth existence. We get into debt and never get out. We get behind and never catch up. We run bills until the butcher and the grocer go broke trying to pay our way for us. Bridges were never meant for ornaments; they were meant for use. They start some where and get somewhere. They are meant to carry loads. A bank account is a mighty good bridge. It will tide you over many a troublous stream, and see you safely on the other side ; bu many men must flounder around in the cur rents of adversity, tossed hither and yon, be fore they will acknowledge the truth and begin to get ready. If everybody did as some people do, spend the dpllar as fast as it is earned, the human race would go fast to destruction. Every man who earns should save. Every woman, no matter how safe may be her lot now, should look the future in the face and see if she were left alone could she manage single-handed to make the world give her an existence.. You cannot cross the bridge until you get there, that is certain ; but you can build the bridge that you surely will need some day, and lucky for you if you have the bridge and can use it, and still more lucky if it is there and you never need use it, but you can be safe either way. As a rule we do ' not spend our money in large amounts, but in small sums. A certain lawyer who had been unable to save any money and at forty-five found himself a thriftless man, endeavored to analyze the reason for his inabil ity to get ahead. For a month he kept track of his spendings and found that his money got away from him in driblets a nickel here and there, dimes and quarters handed out on every side until the sum total was amazing. It is sur prising how much our frivolity bill is when we come to reckon it up. And if you are unable to save money it may be because of wasteful hab its. In fact, many people would not dare to keep an expense account, lest the figures prove facts they do not care to face. Every street railroad in the country, every summer resort, every soda fountain, every ci gar store and every saloon lives by virtue of the nickel and dime multiplied indefinitely. But in the multiplication of nickels comes the millions. The lesson we all need to learn (and it is not an easy one) is the art of conserving little things. If you doubt the facts above stated and fear to face them in cold figures, get a little pocket bank and every time you are tempted to spend money for that which is unnecessary, drop it in your little bank and watch the results. They will prove interesting if not surprising. The Southern Pacific Bulletin. HEALTH INSURANCE $25,000,000 A YEAR I r lALIFORNIA compulsory Health Insur l I ance Commission will rpnnrr. n hill rn mi the legislature to raise by taxation a fund to pay medical bills, care and part wages of laborers when not well. Funds are to be raised, 50 per cent by state, 40 per cent by employers, and 10 per cent from employes who get $100 a month or less. " It is estimated sickness costs California la borers $25,000,000 a year. At hearings held by this Commission labor representatives, while favoring health insur ance at public expense, opposed paying any part of it. Fraternal orders objected on grounds that they already tax: themselves to insure their members, pay their medical bills and attending physicians and benefits. Medicine, doctor bills and other benefits are to go under this bill, to laboring men, their wives, children and other members of their families when sick or out of work. It is expected that Christian Scientists and some other systems of healing will object to be ing taxed for any scheme of health insurance. Insurance against sickness and non-employment will bo brought before other western leg islatures. The load beinrr niled un looks like a stair- fgering burden for the taxpayer to carry.

About five years ago one was dar ing enough to explode an old theory that corn could not be grown here, Some .one grew a bumper crop, and then others took it up. Last year 10,000 acres produced an average of 6Q bushels per acre. This year the acreage was increased 15 per cent, and the crop is of a kind to make an Iowa farmer stare. Having lived 20 years in the corn belt, I think know corn when I see it. Well, Yak ima corn is as good as any l ever saw. There are many evidences that the Yakima Valley is getting further and further away 'from a one-crop coun try. Its theroiighbred stock are blue ribboners in the prize shows. Hun dreds of new silos aro being built; larger areas are being put into blue grass, alfalfa, and corn. An active campaign has been made to establish a beet-sugar factory, and this is now assured, with a sufficient acreage al ready signed up. Experimental areas in beets show that the valley is in every way adapted to growing this crop, and the yields and quality are unsurpassed. There is a large area of the valley recently drained or soon to be', and now somewhat alkalied, which' is suitable for beet growing, The lowlands and gently sloping benches are excellent for this purpose. The commercial crops aside from the orchard products- which command attention are alfalfa, timothy, clover, grains, corn and potatoes. Of the last named there were 8.000 acres this year.- This is where tho big bak ed potato of the dining car" comes from, and it pays to raise this sort. Grown on land formerly in alfalfa, the yields range from 300 to 600 bushels per acre. Last year Mr. Skinner, of Outook, sold 100 tons -of diners to the Northern Pacific Rail way from a 10-acre tract. The price was $30 per ton. Mr. Skinner after wards sold from the Same land enough small potatoes to pay all tho cost of cultivatfon and seed, so that his re turns were nearly $300 per acre net. In alfalfa the Yakima project shows a general average yield of 6 tons per acre if new-plantings are not included. No. other nroiect exceeds this average. Time and space are too limited to permit more than a passing consid eration of the live-stock industry here. Everyone engaged in it is pros pering. There are 10,000 dairy cat tle on the project today, of which 500 are pure bred. The Holstein predom inates. Among these are. bulls and" cows "which have captured the big prizes at the Pan American Exposi tion and at the great live-stock shows of the Pacific coast. There are sev eral fine herds like that of Mr. Davis. The shorthorns are found here, and the notable herd of Mr. Duren will held its own anywhere in this coun try. Annual sales of these high-grade animals usually find the buyers right at home. Here is an ideal spot for cattle raising and dairying. The cli mate is mild. Blue-grass pasture is green for 10 months out of the year, and 2 acres will support three cows. Pasture and coi;n silage are the prin cipal food, tallage cuts from 16 to 25 tons per acre. I, saw one big field on the Davis ranch which will cut 30 tons per acre. Swine do very well here. Hogs pas tured on alfalfa, with just enough grain to keep them growing well make the cheapest pork in the world! On account of the near proximity or range in the national forests the sheepmen have flourished and waxed wealthy. Ranchmen in the valley are just eginning to raise sheep in a small way on tho farm, using them to clean up fence corners and ditch banks, i iu.u ,u,vuu iu ivj,vuv head are brought in from the ranges each win ter and fattened on alfalfa grown on the project. The average price of hay ior several years has been $8 per ton in the stack. With an average crop exceeding 5 tons per acre,, the alfal- ta grower has done very well indeed I have viewed tho project from end to end as one who saw it four years ago. In that short period the changes have-been remarkable. During that period the 'lieton unit has been trans formed from a sage-brush desert into a region of beauty. Prom the Yaki ma muge one looks over a rolling country dotted thickly with fine homes surrounded by thousands of acres of trees and green fields. There is no monotony in tho landscape anywhere on tne project, owing to the diversity of topography and crops. With its supply drawn from the up per reaches of te Tieton, the pipe mius onng tne water to tho very tons of the high hills, and the slopes are m covered with ranches. Tan tmnM - -..1 , ju.a iieii wiicn i nrnve nvnr tnis unit a school house of one room was enough for the children. Since mat time two schoolhouses havo neon built, the latest being a modern con crete consolidated school with several grades. To ease the minds of certain Hnnht. ing lhomases in. and out of Congress, it can bo said without fear of rnntm. diction that the Yakima project will pay its obligation to tho Govorment It is doing it right now, and cheer fully. Look at the figures. Tieton unit Total cost to date $3,300,000 Repayments 400.000 Delinquents under 20-ycar exten sion act, C out of a toal of 1,500 water users. Sunnyside unit " Total cost to date $3,500,000 Repayments . 1,250,000 Delinquents, 3, with total of less than $200. There is no talk of repudiation, nor is there any sentiment in favor of tak ing over tho operation of the project from the Government, Directors of the water users' association selected 20 representative farmers from all parts of the project, who were re quested by the Board of Review to fltate the sentiment or the peoplo on this subject. The report showed 18 in favor of Government operation and 2 voted for a change. On the Sunnyside unit the water users authorized the directors to or ganize an irrigation district, the idea being that under a district plan it will be easier for the association to make collections from nonresident owners and also will produce greater devel opmont of the lands. The Reclama tion Commission is now considering the matter. It is not the purpose of the district when formed to operate the system. A very noticeable feature of the project, is the activity of the peopl in organizations both social and in dustrial. Cooperation Is sought along all lines of farming, and there are large number of active and progres sive organizations at work all over the valley. The development .league school clubs, good-roads organizations mothers'- clubs, girls' clubs, and oth ers are contributing toward the social and economic uplift of the communi ty. The community clubs are unus ually strong and have promoted many excellent ideas for betterment of tho people. The women having a vote are taking a prominent part in these movements. They have worked hard and unitedly in behalf of schools and the valley has now eight high schools, from which the graduates are permitted to enter the freshman class of the university. The activities of the women have had pronounced re suits in promoting better homes.- The number of handsome homes with at tractive lawns, flowers, and other adornments is strikingly largo. Both the Tieton and Sunnyside units have cooperative creameries. On the latter unit there are 3,000 dairy cows contributing to the plant. The creamery has held up cream prices paid for its entire plant, and in three years has become, strong and success ful. Prosser has a creamery only year old, but thriving. On tho Tieton unit tho cooperative spirit took root in a new way. A number of ranch men organized a sawmill designed to meet the needs of the commmunity in supplying common and planed lum ber. The shares are 20 each; capital stock, $3,000. This mill has sawed 150,000 feet b. m. of lumber from log: purchased from the Forest Service at 60 cents per thousand. This year the output will be nearly doubled. The cost of lumber to the ranchmen is about $5 per thousand; a great sav ing indeed. There are several cooperative fruit growers' associations. The swine raisers and potato growers are -or ganized. There are a number of cow- testing associations on both projects and grades aro maintained through rigid inspection and record. On the Sunnyside the association has taken over the work of rebuild ing a number of the laterals under the supervision of the service, On the Tieton the association makes all tho collections. T il. j. , ... auia associations domiciled wi the service, and the relations of both are congenial and harmonious. If you are npt convinced from this rambling description that Yakima Valley is about the topnotcher of the Government projects, then you must come to the valley and show the far mers. They are perfectly satisfied that there is no fairer spot and no other place where the contentment an prosperity are more abundant, jlaWjeur nterprfee County Official Paper.

S $ K $ S K K INFORMATION ith THE GEOLOGY OF PETROLEUM The far-reaching importance to the United States of an adequate supply of petroleum and gasoline has long been recognized by the United States Geological Survey, which during the last two years has made greater ef forts than ever before to assist in discovering and in developing new oil reserves. Brief accounts of the work accomplished, with titles of reports published or in preparation this year, describing the structure and oil pros pects in many new and undeveloped areas, especially in the Western States, in the Southwest, and in the Midcontinent region, will be found in the record of the geologic work car ried on in the several States. Even with all the funds which, with justice to other mineral interests, could be devoted to investigations of oil and gas, it has not been found possible to extend these researches at all in proportion to tho increase in public demand for information both as to old and to new fields. A recent edi tonal in the Standard Oil Bulletin states: "Time was when oil operators were strongly inclined to give little or no heed to the opinions of geolo gists, but that time is past," The value of tho studies of geologic struc ture in the search for oil is not only thus recognized by the great oil com panies, but most of these corpora Hons are now recruiting corps of ge ologists, if they had not already had trained heologists in their employ, Naturally, the information thus ac quired by these corporations for their guidance in leasing lands and in lo cating exploratory drill holes is not available to the public a fact which makes more pressing the need of the landowner and of the small indepen dent driller for all the information which tho 'Federal or State surveys can give.
