FIRST WATER -GOES
OVER THE .
OCHOCO DAM
On the Ochoco irrigation project of
Prinveville Friday was a banner day.
as it marked the first day that the
water began to pour over the spillway
of the giant Ochoco dam, where the
conjoined volume of stored-up water
totals more than half a million cubic
yards, according to W. P. Brown, sec
retary of the Ochoco Land company.
Mr. Brown, who will leave Friday for
Prinrllle, to inspect the flow of water
spent the afternoon Saturday confer
ring with Secretary ,QuayIe of the Ore
gon state chamber of commerce in re
gard to the project.
There is room for mlore than 200
families on the project at present,
according to Mr. Brown. The land 1
being sold in 40- to 80-acre lots, and
carries with it all water rights.
Twenty families have taken up land
in- the project since November 1. oi
last year.
The land was placed under irriga
tion by the creation of an irrigation
district under the state laws, in 1917,
and the entire system including the
"storage reservoir and canals - baa
been completed this year. A part of
. the land has been under irrigation
for some time and the most of them
have been cultivated for many years.
A feature of the project is the fact
that artesian wells can be struck cn
any- part of the distric more than
a dozen strong wells already produc
ing water on the lower levels at a
depth not greater than 265 fqet.
The entire distric lies within a
radius of three and one-half miles
from the railroad, said Mr. Brown.
LAD THROWS
ROCK, INJURING
WOMAN IN AUTO
Mrs. W. H. Wetlauffer, of the
Clatrkes neighborhood, was injured
about the head from a flying rock
thrown by a Portland la da short time
ago, while she and her husband were
motoring home, from church. Mr.
Wetlauffer had occasion to rebuke
some boys in church far disturbing
the speakers, and after the services,
he and his wife started to d-'ive home.
They encountered a number of la Is
in the road, who made way for the
Wetlauffer car, and after the machine
had passed by a short distance, it was
bombarded with rocks by the lads.
Mr. Wetlauffer had several of the
boys appear before Judge Cross, and
it was brought out at the hearing that
a lad by the name of Robert Zwahlen,
of Portland, was responsible for the
rock-throwing. He skipped out of
the neighborhood after the incident,
and could not be located.
ANGLERS FROM
PORTLAND GET
$25 AND COSTS
Clyde Hill and H. T. Johnson, both
of Portland, were arrested by War
den3 Meades, Christensen and Clarke
Sunday. for fishing at this point for
salmon without a license. Both men
were fined $25 and costs by Judge
Noble. A third man in the party was
also taken in for having; a 1920 li
cense in his pocket, but explained that
he left home in such a hurry that lie
took the wrong one with bim. After
verification - of the statement, the
judge let the angler off.

Workman Has Leg
Injured By Falling
Pulp Here Monday
Marshall Fenton, of Canemah, re
ceived an injury to his leg Monday
morning at the Hawley' plant from
falling pulp. He was taken to the Ore
gon City hospital, and an x-ray will be
taken today of the bruised limb to
determine the injury.
HONEST ADVERTISING
An honest advertising bill is likely
to receive early attention in the extra
session of Congress. No one has been
able to postively define "honest ad
vertising." though it has been a sub
ject of controversy since Gutenberg
inked up the first rollers used In print
ing. Congressman Rogers cf Massachu
setts, has an idea that he knows a
good deal about the subject, and hear
ings have been - held on his bill. It
would apply to all commodities the
analogy of the pure food law io pre
vent misbranding.
THIS IS THE MONTH
To make garden.
To set out trees.
To breed ewes for winter lambs.
To give the cows a few nips of 1921
grass.
To spray apples and pears for scab
and leap spot-
To set the turkey eggs for Thanks
giving market. -
To plant shrub3 and flowers and
beautify the yard.
To cash in on the first poultry. Top
prices for broilers this month.
To gather the first garden "sass"-
radishes, onions, lettuce and pieplant.
To make a last complete inspection
of fencing. Carelessness now makes
rovers next summer. '
To camp out in one's own bailiwick
the barn and wood shed until the
house celaning is done.
To plant corn. The old rule is to
plant wTien the beech leaves are the
size of squirrels' ears.
To keen the young stock in dry
shelter. Nothing can be more disas-
trou to young stock than a cold April
rain. Farm Life.
Normal Crop Is
Predicted This Year
Reports that reach us indicate near
ly a normal crop is being planted this
spring. Farmers are not "breaking
their necks," or going to unusual ex
pense to produce the high war acre
ages of the last two or three years
but there will probably be plenty cf
bread and meat for the world to eat
and at prices that will be plenty low.
In a few sections the crops have been
curtailed by voluntary agreement, but
most of the earlier talk to that effect
hft3 not materialized. The cotton
acreage is being cut a little, perhaps,
and the tobacco acreage also. The
organized "movement centered at Lex
ington, however, to restrict the plant
ing of burley tobacco has . fallen
through, because sixty per cent of the
members could not be induced to
"sign up." As long as nobody knows
how world conditions are igoing to
work out, the part of wisdom would
seem to call for a diversified and
normal crop, making it a point to keep
the cost of production down so that t
profit may be had even at a reason
ably low price. Farm Life.

Fire Hydrants
May Be Installed
at Gladstone
GLADSTONE, April 8. One of the
most important measures considerea
by the Gladstone council Tuesday ev
ening was fire protection.
At present Gladstone- lias no fire
hydrants, only' on Portland avenue,
and only three there. Through 'the
efforts of CoUncilmen O. E. Frfeytag
and C- A. Chambers it was proposed
to buy the chemical truck of Oregon
City, which is not in. use since that
city bought the "hew fire phfeine. This
chemical truck may be bought for
$200 and according to the A. J. Long
Co., of Portland, Is valued at $400. It
has two tanks of 30 gallons each.
Several "months ago "Wm. Raul call
ed the attention of the people to fire
protection at the Parent-Teachers as
sociation meeting and offered his ser
vices to build up a volunteer fire de
partment, Mr. Raul has had much
experience as a fireman and fire chiet.

the council April 21, when the final
reading of the bills, for the improve
ment of Cornell avenue from Clack

CLEAN-UP WEEK
FOR OREGON CITY
STARTS MAY
The first week in May has been des
ignated by Mayor Shannon as Clean
up and Paint-up Week for Oregan
City, andTesidents clubs, organiza
tions and other bodies of the city are
requested to aid in. beautifying - and
actually "clean up" the communit,
from "A to Izzard."- Not only have
dirt and rubbish become grave men
aces to public health, but the accum
ulations of these factors have caused
many a bad fire in different locali
ties. Not only this, but the neglect
of using paint and making the prop
er improvements by residents and
home owners each year, has' caused
the depreciation of otherwise valua-
able properties.
Clean up your basement and attic
of rubbish, greasy raes. paper and
other refuse if your store or real
dence looks dingy, paint it. It will
not only pay you, but the community
as a whole will look better, cleaner
and a more desirable place in which
to live. Cooperation of every man,
woman ana cniid In the the corpor
ate limits of this city Is asked by the
mayor, who has Issued the following
proclamation:

MAYOR JAMES SHANNON.
DR. WIRT HELD
BEST SPEAKER
EVER HEARD
Dr. Loyal Lincoln Wirt, who gave
several addresses in this city Tuesday,
included as the main speaker on the
Live Wire program, was intensely in
teresting and his story "stuck" with
his audience long after he had deliv
ered the messajge of the destitute con
ditions of the Near East countries.
Probably never in the history of the
Live Wire club has that body had the
privilege of hearing such an eloquent
and convincing speaker.
Dr. Wirt's address before the high
school earlier in the day resulted in
pledges for Near East relief in the
neighborhood of $600 the faculty
pledging $60; Lettermen, $60; jun
ior students, $60; freshmen, $60, and
several individual contributions and
money is still rolling In to the com
mittee in change of the local drive.
TWO WOMEN
LOCKED IN ONE
ROOM 3 YEARS
HOBOKEN, N. Y.. April A
strange case of the voluntary exile
of two eldery women of moderate
means, who locked themselves in a
suite of three rooms in a hotel for
more than ' three years was revealed
to the authorities Thursday.
Until Friday, the women. Miss Car
oline Sunderland and Mrs. Fannie Mil
ler had not left their rooms since Jan
uary. 191S. They bad lived entire
ly on canned goods ordered by mail.
Their rooms were paid for by checks
thrust through a crack under the
door. Miss Sunderland the elaerj
of the two, was ill in bed. suffering
from tuberculosis in advanced stages
She may not live.
Mrs .Miller said they had shut them
selves from the world because "the
had to."
Run of Salmon
Reported to Be in
Willamette Now
According to authentic information,
the big salmon run for 1921 in the
Willamette hit Oak Grove Monday
morning and the fish are expected to
be in the waters here this afternoon
or evening. Fish wardens, who are
operating near Oak Grove, report that
practically every boat yesterday morn
ing had from one to the limit, and that
King Chinook was "a hittin' hard."
Several fine catches were made on
the river at this point Monday after
noon, although Sunday was a very
poor day for-" the anglers. By the
middle of this week, . it is expected
that there will be plenty of salmon in
the river.
Clackamas Hen
Establishes Record
For Mammoth Eggs
Another "Biddy" of Clackamas
county has made a record for herself
when it comes to laying big ekks. A
White Leghorn, owned by Peter Ver
nig. of Fifth street, Oregon City, has
laid an egg measuring 714x8 inches
and tiped the scales at five and one
half ounces.
The egg is on display in the win
dows of Burmeister & Andresen, at
ranged with other "jewels." and ig at
tracting much attention. With "Bid
dies" from Salt Lake City, Utah, Port
land, "Oregon and other places produc-.
ing large eggs, Clackamas hens are in
the running and first at that.
By Howard Hides
There's a foolish notion ruling that the time for "April Fooling"
Comes the first of April only, anj lingers but a day.
This is mightily mistaken for we woefuly awaken
To the fact that. "April Fooling" time is always here to stay.
If experience be our teacher, "April Fooling" is a feature
That happens often daily in her most expensive school;
If in aught we may be wanting there will come a teasing taunting,
A vicious, voiceless jerring that echoes, "April Fool!"
Life begins In January, "April '. oling the unwary
And continues never ceasing till Dember fades and dies;
We would fain do all the fooling, but we learn by bitter schooling!
That the ilde undeserving always draws the booby prize.
We may think we see exceptions where frauds and dark deceptions
Have triumphed over worth and truth and gained a regal rule,
But. as heaven is high and holy. Fate slips up slowly, slowly
And puts the upstarts down at ia8t and whispers, 'xApril Fool!"
There are "lambs" who love to ramble where the bulls and bruins
gamble '
But they come back shorn and bleating, having learned "'tis not by -beating
'
The other fellow's little game are kings of finance made.
There are peanut politicians who would imitate Omniscience,
As on some campaign platform they drivel and they drool, ,
We succeed in being civil while we're drinking in their driveL
But talk is cheap great acts are not and someone's "April Fool!"
Life begins in January. "April Fool' the unwary,
We fondly seek to flimflam Fate and somehow beat her game,
But although or schemes are many, you may bet your final penny
That however the beginning, tho ending is the same.
Much is dimmed by doubt's dark curtain, but this much 3eems surely
certain.
Life is given to us freely not a plaything but a tool.
If we hold its guerdon cheaply we shall bitterly and deeply
Sorrow for our fatuous folly an an eternal "April Fool!" . ...
OPEN DOORS IN
BUSINESS
THE LIBRARIAN.
Almost every small town in Ameri
ca today nas its puDiic iiorary 01
more or less pretentiousness. These
institutions give pleasant employ
ment to many women and girls. The
work is nearly always done in large,
comfortable and artistic buildings.
One mJeets all sorts of people in a
public library, but most of all the
class who are lovers of reading. As
in most such work of a cultural na
ture and done under enjoyaDie cir
cumstances, the pay is not high. An
assistant gets about $50 a month,
heads of departments about $800 or
$1000 a year, head circulation libra
rians from $1000 to $1600 annually.
The catalogueing librarian from $1000
to $2000 yearly, and the head libra
an from $800 in the small town' to
$3000 in larger cities, in the Con
gressional Library in Washington
salaries range from $1200 a year to
$1800.
The work of a librarian consists of
many departments. ' The cataloguers
must label, and classify all books.
There is the repair and bindery de
partment, and juvenile department.
circulation department. The efficient
librarian must know current history
and fiction well enough to refer read
ers to what they wish to find, a3
well as knowing the principal char
acters and quotations in the world s
best literature. She must know even
more how to direct technical readers
into books along the lino of their
specialties. She must have an idea
of the index at least of every impor
tant book which comes within her
sphere of action.
Aside from this she must under
stand well human nature in order to
direct people into reading what they
wish and need . She must be amiable
and cordial and draw patrons into
using the library and feeling at home
there.
The hours for library work are
generally arranged so that each work
er has as many hours per week, some
being there on one evenins and some
on another with so many half days
off. After serving an apprenticeship
in the various branches of library
work and knowing, all to some ex
tent a girl may often pick out the
one in which 'she likes to work, or
she may be assigned where her helTJ
is most needed.
To prepare for library work a glr1
may go to a school, or if unable to
afford that she may enter a library
and work as a probationer. Some
time, the latter way turns out to be
just as good. To enter a library school
a" girl must be eighteen yoars old an-1
a high school graduate. Some schools
demand language or other qualifica
tions. Courses vary from one to four
years. The expense of attending Ji
brary school Is about the same as that
at any college.
While in library work the girl
must keep studying and be up-to
dale else she will not be able to di
rect the reading public or help them
find what they are lookir.'g for.

i- RHU BARS'. SAUCE .
The choicest delicacy Spring offers
Is Rhubarb Sauce. It may be served
as such in dainty sherbet glasses
with a dash of whipped Cream 01
frosting on top, or it may skulk along
shamefacely as "plebiaa pieplant,"
soggy and sour.

'
t LISTS OF THINGS. .
...'".
It is only mercy for our husbands
APRIL FOOL j
which prevents us busy women from
wishing often that there were three
or four of us; then there would be
some hope of getting done the things
we have to do. It does seem that when
jobs were passed around, we ambi
tiously "copped" the lion's share.
We need to learn every hook and
crook which tends to efficiency, and
here Is one which we sisters used to
delight in when we were gfrls at
home. We would make out long lists
of the things we had to do: Clean
dresser drawers, mend all our stock
ings; return borrowed book, re-trim
black hat, write Aunt Lizzie, get
more tooth-powder, etc., etc, etc.
The larger the list the prouder we
were of it. It was like a game to
cross off the items, one by one. It
frequently kept us working over-time,
but enthusiastically; and the amazing
part of it was, that, whereas before
had felt burdened and. bewildered by
"oceans of things to do," when we
came to corral them and nail them
down, they shrank appreciably and
disappeared like hotcakes before our
energetic attack. (Excuse mixed
figures.) ' .
On Saturday mornings when the
children are home to help, each likes
to have a "Program," a list of the
things be is to do. Unknown require
ments are the most fearsome. There
is no quantity more dreaded than X.
The children feel safer and take a
pride and responsibility in their work
if each knows exactly what is ex
pected of him. This also saves their
time in gaining Mother's attention
and getting new directions each time
they have finished one task and would
begin another, and prevents their
forgeting some of the things to be
done. It is amazing how speedily they
will bring their lists with the jobs
all crossed off, really done, and done
right, and done with a vim absolutely
counter to their usual listless (who
ever invented that word was a moth
er!) manner of working about the
house.
And now I have found out what
the- two immense pockets are for
which are found in ready-nlade work
dresses. Formerly I thought they
were to carry a handkerchief in one
and wash-cloth in the other, for use
every time a toddler approached. Dut
I know now that one is built for a pad
and pencil to pot down ideas as they
occur to you, and thus rid your mind
of muddle, your nerves of kinks, and
your forhead of wrinkles. It maket
for poise to get things out of youi
memory and down on a sheet ot
paper; and it insures greater accom
plishment. One trip to town will buy
everything on the shopping list; on
trip to the cellar will bring up every
thing on the menu for the day; one
trip to the attic will bring down both
Johnny's spring cap and Ethel's white
dress.
Now, if ever, come perfect days
for lists: calling lists, sewing lists,
shopping lists, odd-jobs lists. While
going through closet, dresser and
cedar chest, ideas will flock thick and
fast. Clap them down on the pad and
forget them.
- But don't lose your list!
THE WOMAN CITIZEN "
Human Not Feminine.
Lamenting the failure to pars
of some laws In which "women have
shown particlar interest, I remarked
to "my husband, "Women are not
ttrongly enough represented yet in
government; only one woman in Con
gress and less than forty in. all the
state legislatures. There'll have to be
more women to make, our voica
heard and get women laws passed."
'Women." laws?" objected my
husband, who is the Father of five,
"Health laws are not "women laws'.
Don't you think the Public Health
Nurse and the saving of mothers
and babie3 concern the men as much
as the women? What we need is to
all pull together and not make any
clashing of sexes."
I think he was right; don't you?
. It is true that women take more
interest "in welfare measures; while
men are especially concerned, with
business; but this i3 because we have

entirely. It was a big or?er and has
kept their noses pretty close to the
grind-stone. If we give them a little
let-up" they will be able to give
more heed to welfare matters. Wo-1
man's organizations should be care
ful not to claim a monopoly on altru
ism; but remember that good men
who really are in the majority, de
sire the same humanitarian measures j
that women do. We have a good

more if men and women work to rwfi.iiv aaA ..,

It would be a calamity to foster any
spirit which makes for a schism be
tween the sexes. This is an argu-
ment against a Woman's Party.

WOMAN-I-TORIALS
Mothers Needed at Home.
Examinations in Warrington, Eng
land, show that when a mother is
employed away from- home, minor
ailments increase among children and
it takes twice as long to cure them.
The whole family suffers from cold
meals and the neceslty of foraging
for themselves and this tends to mal
nutrition. This demonstrates the wis
dom of making it easy for the moth
er to stay at home and care for the
family, instead of making Unnecess
ary for her to engage in industdiai
work away from home. In America
we are recognizing this and about
forty of the states have a more or
less adequate system cf Mothers'
Pensions or Children's pensions. The
family income has a definite effect in
raising or lowering family health.

Experiment Station
O. A. C. Developed
Method of Spraying
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis, April 11. How Ore
gon and other western growers 'got.
the bulge on their eastern competit
ors in producing high quality fruit,
by superior spraying is told by V
I. Safro. field manager of the Tobacco
By-Products and Chemical company,.
Louisville, Kentucky.
'The whole economy of spraying -
throughout the country is based on
I practices developed at the Oregon sta-
tion in 1908," he declared. "Up to
that time it was not at all unusual
for the grower to spray his trees four
times in quick succession for control
of as many different insect and dis
ease troubles.
"To save this extra labor and gain.
time for often if spraying Is not done
within a short, fixed period, it is wast-
ed th stAti Atn
"This new principle reached its-
high water mark of application three-,
years later at Hood River where iron
sulfide. was successfully added to the
combination."
. Lime-sulphur got it8 great impulse-
as a fungicide here through the in
vestigations of Dean A. B. Cordley.
"This great standard spray, often.
In combinations based on the O. A. C.
findings, is in use not only through
out this country, but In Australia,.
