can and Democratic, that he has
changed ground on the govern-
' inent ownership of railroads ques
tlon, that he has abandoned the posl-
. tlon he took less than a year ago,
in order to secure the nomination
for president next year. It is charged
that he has completely altered his
' attitude on this question because he
perceives that the Democratic party,
particularly In the south, will not
' Support him in it, and that he would
rather ..give up a position that he
still believes to be right rather than
sacrifice the nomination. "It is
said," to quote a Republican paper
, that believes in giving Mr. Bryan a
square deal, "that Mr. Bryan has
turned turtle; It ls said he has
gulped down a quantity of his own
rubbish to hide it from the resent
ment of bis party all in fear, and
all out of crazy desire to be again
. named by his party for the presi
dency." But the paper goes on to
say, "the statements to his discredit
! are carelessly made, by Republicans
in a narrow and peevish way, or by
, Democrats who seek to find faults
, In him."
In his Madison Square Garden
- speech nearly a year ago Mr. Bryan
did not, as his critics assume, push
.T uim Buiwumeui uwnersntp as a
necessarily paramount or prominent
latma next year. He said in that'
speech that be had "reached the!

crops, and a few years hence, with
careful, proper treatment, will be
producing fairly good crops and will
be worth 20 an acre and upwacds.
We speak of dry, non-irrigable lands.
Irrigated lands will be far more val
uable, but will cost more.
Those who go first Into that very
sparsely settled region will have the
best chances. They should select a
tract If possible where they can ob
tain water at a moderate depth, dig
a well or make themselves pretty
sure that water can be found, and
the rest ls easy. No, there will be
hard work, and some deprivations;
but up there ls the making of many
prosperous homes, on land now un
occupied except by livestock. Rail
roads are bound to come, and many
other settlers, and thousands of
farms will be developed on those
now vacant plains.
A yonng man with a team and
wagon and, say $100, can go into
that country how and by diligent.
Intelligent work in a few years can
have a farm worth anywhere from
2,600 to $10,000. Some young men
can do better, but many do worse
work for wages, save nothing, and
grow old without a home or prop
perty. There will be great develop
ment in that country during the next
few years.

So let us not sneer at Rainmaker
Hatfield. He says he can work elec
trlcal apparatus on or from the top
of a tower so as to produce substan
tial quantities of rain over a large
circumjacent area, and there Is some
evidence that he Is not mistaken
Down in southern California he pro
duced rain in large quantlttea ac
cording to contract, or at least the
rain materialized and people down
there gave him credit for It. Up In
Sherman county nearly two Inches
more than the average amount of
rain fell in the two months he oper
ated, and some of the farmers who
were benefited by It believe he In
duced It and will pay him to operate
again next year. These rainfalls
may be only coincidences It rained
more than usual at the same time
all over eastern Oregon yet Hat
field's theory and practice may not
be all humbug or delusion. If not;
If he can convince the government
that he has a ralnmaklng machine;
if it should be enlarged and improved
and worked on a larger scale In the
arid regions, and If It succeeds, he
may become one of the great bene
factors of the nation. We confess
to little faith In the scheme, or con
fidence In the results, but are not
going to scoff at It. Much more

Something of dawn
Went to thy making,
Something of night;
Fairy and faun
Watched for thy waking.
Brought thee delight.
Came this fair maid.
Gathered thee, peerless.
Wore thee a day,
TherK unafraid,
Petulant, careless
Threw thee away.
When thou didst rest
In sweet possession

Swsyed on her breast,
Did thy dim passion
Warn thee of death?
Poor, wistful flower.
Doomed by thy splendour.
Caught in Love's net,
Thou hadst thy hour
Death will be tender,
Love will forget!
