REPORT ON HARRIMAN.
tlvely few years a dense population
and enormously augmented volume
of traffic will be here? If they only
knew what the traffic exactions of
the future will mean, all Portland,
all Oregon, and all the people along
those streams, would be clamorous
for the Columbia and Willamette to
be quickly freed of every obstruction
and be opened wide to an unham
dust, and hitherto almost utterly
barren. Many farmers on the semi
arid plateau of eastern Oregon are
producing fair crops by the Campbell
method, and the more the soil Is
cultivated the better crops will be
raised, because the more moisture
will be conserved.
Mr. Campbell studied out slrapl
processes and operations of nature,
and adapted his work thereto, and lo
grain and grass Instead of desert
shrubs. Thus he will have practlc
ally created thousands of newMiomea,
and added millions to the country's
annual tale of products.

AS this coolness toward Vice-
President Fairbanks, not to
say this remarkable neglect
of him, on the part of Port
land Republicans, another piece of
evidence that the 0. O. P. has locally
gone all to pieces and Is practically
non-existent? Surely it was neither
on account of the cocktails story, nor
because the vice-president is a Meth
odist and as Brother Booxer says
"a great Christian." Portland Re
publicans are above the considera
tion of such matters in connection
with an exalted public character,
who is seeking the nomination for
president of the United States.
If the big secretary of war should
swing around this way, as he may
when he 'starts for the Philippines
this fall, would be be treated thus
cavalierly? And if not, why this dis
crimination? Is not the vice-presi
dent sound on that great American
principle, protection, while Taft Is
inclined to be a "free trader?" Is
not the tall sycamore of the Wa
bash Is It sycamore? entirely safe
and sane? Does he not also believe
In the Roosevelt policies? Has any
body ever heard him say he did not?
Or has he said anything else that
could offend anybody?
We cannot help feelirffc that the
Portland Republicans were not quite
hospitable to the distinguished and
eminent visitor. True, he was not
scheduled to make his principal ap
pearance at Portland, but on his
passage through the metropolis of
the Pacific northwest It would seem
to have been appropriate to give
him a little banquet and an oppor
tunity to show himself and speak a
little, at least. We fear Republican
enthusiasm Is at a low, ebb.

HOW THE RICH; LIVE
As to the Harm of Having too Much Jewelry
By Cleveland Moffett
Tbe more on looks Into this matter,
the more one's conviction grows that
never since vanity came upon the earth
have Bve's ' daughters decked them
selves with precious stones as they are
decking themselves today in America.
A rloh woman, Mrs. Leland Stanford.
died the other day, leaving 11,000,000
worth of Jewelry! Think of that! And
here la the government report showing
how amaslngly the demand for precious
stones has increased In the last decade.
and stating that we have actually Im
ported over 11,000,000 worth of dla-
monas a montn. cut and uncut, with the
total ror a year or over I2S.000.000
worth! To which must ha aditail the
coet of cutting, the cost of gold settings
and the profits or retailing, all borne
by the purchaserl Indeed, I am told
that every year we spend three times
as much on diamonds as on sewlnsr ma
chines. A pretty aubject there for a
sermon!
a e
Of course, no one oblecta tn women
having a reasonable amount of Jewelry,
what they can wear without ostentation
or any great concern for Its safety; such
modest possessions are sanctioned by
universal custom, and from all time
Jeweled rings and trinkets have been
symDois or love, and ahould remain so.
Besides, there Is a beauty In precious
stones Just as there Is In other stones
not called precious witness the opal,
the most beautiful of them all!
But when women value Jewelry neither
for Ita beauty nor Its associations but
merely for its costliness, when they
wear as much of It as thev ran. almDlv
to show that hey have been able to
buy so much or make men buy it for
them, when their pleasure In having It
lies chiefly In the knowledge that othera
envy them, then I aay the love of
jewels is an evil thing, based on arro
gance and selfishness. And I cannot see
what Justification any woman who
knows of the misery about her can And
for spending (600.000. or anvthlna like
it, on Jewelry! .
It should be noted, furthermore, that
the chief ' harm of this passion for
Jewels Is not In the waste of the mil
lions Involved, although that Is bad
enough, but In the stirring of envy, In
the prompting of extravagance. In the
urging to dlshoneaty. If we could
know what crimes have been committed
for the sake of diamonds we ahould aee
that there la some devil's hypnotism In
the glittering atones and would have
tnem all cast into the sea Cor general
aafety.
Certain It is that no house where
Sreclous stones abound Is free from evil

In front.
Like all men who do something
greatly to benefit mankind, he had
an idea, and faith in it, tnough no
body else believed in it. He had to
demonstrate that ' he was right by
many extended experiments, and
these seem to have proved that his
idea wis correct. It . may not have
been entirely original with him, but
he, it seems, is the one who tried
the Idea out, proved it good, and led
others to adopt it.
Campbell invented nothing, but
discovered that certain treatment of
arid soil would cause it to produce
crops, in spite of its aridity. This
treatment would not work, we sup
pose, on an absolute desert; there
must be soil, rather than sand, and
some moisture must fall during the
