S-'O Great Development of Crook County "Land, water and muscle will make a targe number of Rixxl homes on the lands surrouuding Laidlaw in the Tumailo irri gation district," said J. X Tel last night after having inspected the property in company with Governor West, Engiueer O Laurgaard, A. H. Devers and others. "The irrigation project appears feasible and desirable and there appear to be no ob stacles in the way of its prose cution," says the Journal. "This is the project for which the state of Oregon has appropri ated 450.(O0 and Governor West is proceeding with the greatest of caution that it may prove suc cessful en every way. The land is productive and there seems no technical obstacles in the way now.

"As this is the first project to be undertaken by the state, and 8ny 8tate the greatesf Precaution will be taken that mistakes may be avoided. The land when placed under water will be sold to actual settlers at a low price and on terms that will be invit ing. Governor West is very en thusiastic in the matter and is giving it his most careful at tention. "In my opinion Central Ore gon is really just now at the be ginning of its development and it will be followed by others, for if the Tumello project proves a success the people will be greatly encouraged to extend this kind of work." Camps will be established at once and workmen will be en gaged. Engineer Lauregaard re mained in the district to com plete the organization. It is planned to build several 'large tanks to bold the flood waters of Tumello Creok so as to supply sufficient water for the 27,000 acres to be irrigated. Death of Jerome Knox.

I am a believer In the love match, not only from a romantic but from a eugenic point of view. In a very large proportion of marriages love plays no part or only a very subordinate one. Rank, social Influence, ambition and what Carlyle calls the cash nexus are dominant factors, but marriages thus made are not the most likely to produce favorable results In the next generation. Our aristocracy, the late Profes sor Laycock used to say, has been saved by Its occasional al liances with actresses and milk maids. There must be deep phys iological significance In the spon taneous. Inexplicable attraction that Instantly draws two persons into sympathetic union, and the offspring of unions thus brought about are. I believe, more likely to be healthy than the offspring of those who have allied them selvea In cold blood from mer cenary or sordid motives. T-ove at first sight of the right blesses him who has experienced It and Is charged with blessings for those who come after hlra.
