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

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. Ore

greets you at every turn of the road,
a salute to prosperity and success?
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

of the high hills, and the slopes are

It is doing it right now, and cheer

Total cost to date $3,500,000

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.

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,

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. (37th Ann. Report, Direc
