"A small expenditure in throwing a dam across the mouth of this valley will nable the water to be conserved for months, a natural reBervolr being formed which would hold enough water to sup ply the needs of the lower valley for a year it need be. Ditching would be made a comparatively light expense, too, because of the river bed which leads away from the upper valley." According to Mr. Flti Gerald it is this reservoir site that the government engineer will examine and report upon. He believes the report can not be other wise than favorable and that, as a result, within a comparatively short time the Harney Desert will be one of the best producing grain districts of Oregon.

The regular meeting of the Montavllla Boar of Trad which will be held Thursday evening at Aylsworth Hall on the Bass Line road, promises to be one of the most Interesting since the organ isation of the board. Although the avowed purpose of the meeting will be the talking over of plans for the cleaning up and the Im provement of the suburb, there will be a spirited discussion of the saloon question. There are two saloons within the lim its of Montavllla at the present time and one of the oroDrletors. William ftJrlrucs. Is encountering considerable difficulty In securing a renewal of his license, A remonstrance against the Issuance of the proposed paper has found ready signatures among the resi dents of the district and the friends of Grimes now say that the opposition to his saloon license has been brought about by an opposition saloonman, Cap tain Henry Schneider. The friends of Grimes are out for the scalp of Schneider and they are now at work with the aid of legal talent look ing Into the validity of the latters license. The fight between the opposing saloon keepers promises to be lively and there Is now a likelihood of the residents of the suburb taking a hand In the matter themselves and refusing to grant a license to any saloon.

Equally unostentatious are alJ the ac cessories and conditions of their lives. They have a nursery governess and a nurse to care for them, it Is true, but they often walk unattended, "and neither of these members of the household wears any sign of livery when seen In public. t'idike the Roosevelt' children, when at their country home the small Cleve l.mds do not attend the public school at Princeton. Tho two older girls. Ruth and Esther, go to a little private school which is kept in a humble frame houso by the sister of one of the university professors. No doubt the teaching In this small private school is of the best, but Its equipment Is of the simplest. The building, a low green house, sit uated at the corner of two tree-lined streets, has not been remodeled singe the days when It served as a privato house, and the little Clevelands trudge dally up narrow, winding, wooden stairs to their classrooms, hang their hats lit what waa meant for the pantry, and i Devoted to the Pony. In recreation Ruth is devoted, to the black and white pony wmch she owns Jointly with her brother and sisters. and to her bicycle. The black and white pony Is used both as a saddle horse and In harness to a tan dog cart. The dog cart, drawn by the pony, may be eeen with all four children and the nurse In it, moving slowly down the highway. Even Mrs. Cleveland metlne Join the party. Besides the pony and the bicycle the Cleveland children are particularly fond of outdoor sports on the Cleveland grounds, which aro beautifully kept. They rake hay. plant, dig up and tend garueo patches and conduct a serious game of baby play dally under the pleas ant group of pines and maples near their house. In this and In their pony expedi tions they are frequently assisted by Mrs. Cleveland and the former Presi dent himself frequently Joins the children on the lawn, and especially when the youngest. Cleveland takes to farming may his father oe seen lending a helping hand. Born In the White House. Esther Cleveland, the second of the children. Is now a llaxen haired little creature or aoout to years. She was born September 9. 1 893, and is the only child of a President to be born in the White House. At her birtn the liveliest interest was manifested among diplo mats and Cabinet officers, and affairs of state were forgotten when the affair was announced. Esther Is a very healthy loo-lng child, resembling her father more than her mother. She Is especially fond of animals, is a fearless little creature, and has. besides her one fourth Interest in the family pony, a flock of sheep of her own at the summer home In Buz zard's Bay, which she feeds from her own hands. Marion, the third daughter, was born at Buzzard's Bay July 7. 1895. Marlon Is 8 years old and has darker hair than Esther, although she, too, is in type a blonde. She Is a docile and affectionate child, affable and voluble with strangers and friends. After the family had been blessed with three daughters there was great rejoicing among the Cleveiands when a boy was born In 1897. at Princeton. The Princeton students straightway adopted him as their own and nt once put him down as a member of a future Princeton class. If this young man should ever chance to enter another university when he Is grown there would be weeping and walling In Princeton. No royal son and1 heir ever met with a more hearty welcome In tMs world than that vouchsafed to little "Dick" Cleve land on his birth. The Princeton students dubbed him "Orover, J'r.y" at once, and that he remains to this day. despite his baptismal name of Richard. The boy Is a sturdy, good looking little chap. He wears Russian blouse suits of linen and has his hnlr cut straight across the1 back. Little "Dick" and his father are the bept of chums, and Indeed the small boy rules the household, parents, sisters and servants bowing down to do him honor. Ho Wearying Trips. Except for flying trips to Philadelphia and New York, where the older children are taken occasionally to see the cir cus, the Wild West show or such enter tainments, the Cleveland children spend all but the summer months In Princeton. As soon as the commencement week of the university is over Princeton begins to lose Its wealthy colony. The great houses are shut up; the university staff, the students, all that distinguishes the town from an prdlnary country village, vanishes. When this time comes the Clevelands. too, depart for their summer home at Buzzard's Bay. Here the chlld reiT revel in even freer country Joys than j those afforded them In Princeton. They all go In bathing every day and tmy are particularly devoted to all things of the sea. following their father especially in his passion for Ashing. Their existence Is one long, untroubled series of good times, reaching from their beautiful old colonial home at Princeton to their other equally charming home by the ocean. J. M. ARTHUR & CO.
