Women's -Clubs and Their Work
. ' JLditcd by Mrs. Sarah A. Lvans :
HIS veck vt finish the committee
report and begin the publication
i of the Individual club reports that
were given at the annual conven-
;. tloij of the Oregon Federation of
Woman's dubs, recently held at La
urande.
It ruayseem a far call from irrigation
to the Woman's club movement, but
when one considers what irrigation
means to the women and children of
the rural districts, - It will readily be
seen the close connection of the two,
and therefore the following very Inter
esting report that was given- on irriga
tion: The prosperity of our state depends
not on the city, but on the country; the
prosperity of the country on the pro
auctions of the soil. Land has been so
cheap end climate so suitable that only
of recent years, less, than a doaen, has
the thought of increasing the yield of
our soil been agitated.
Irrigation has become the accepted
means of this adding to our wealth.
Even in the Willamette valley which is
supposed to be abundantly supplied with
moisture, experiments -have been car
ried on the past year which prove that
the yield of the land may be doubled
biiu in Bums itbbcs inureaMeu inrep una
fourfold by ' the application of. water
aunng tne growing season. The sugar
beet factory at La Grande was closed
a number of months this year for: the
lack of water for irrigation purposes.
And not only. IS the yield of a I single
crop greater, but a succession of crops
may be grown on the same land! in
some places three or four crops have
been harvested between April and No
vember. How much more profitable to
the farmer. is three crops that one? Less
land is needed. In fact, it Is claimed
thnt one man cannot cultivate more
than 40 seres advantageously.
, This irrigation means smaller and
better cultivated farms; denser popula
tion, better social and educational ad
vantages, more profits, less drudgery,
Won comforts and giving the wife and
mother more time for self-improvement,
and family life. Much has been said of
recent years about the boy leaving the
farm. Better homes and less bard work
are factors in overcoming this evil.
. Much can be done for the land now un
der cultivation: more for the unsettled
and arid portion. Many hundred acres
re now watered by our various irrl-'
Buttons systems. More are to be re
clnimed, but at a greater cost, for nat
urally those parts which required the
least labor and expense were the first
taken. But all Is not smooth sailing.
Our water laws are found Insufficient
and inadequate. The titles to our land
rights are absolute; the titles to our
water rights are otherwise. It la said
thHt the buying of a wRter right is the
buying 6f a lawsuit, and when a decree
is secured there Is no way of enforcing
. The lack of definite water luws has
been an open door for speculators which
thy have not been slow to entar. These
and numerous other faults have retard
ed the development and settlement in
pans already Irrigated. One thing
. which will menace the progress of irrl-
nation Is the use of the streams by
power and manufacturing companies.
Air in Inexhaustible. Not so our timber,
minerals and water supplies. If we do
- tint look to their preservation, we may
look for them In the hands of monopo
lies in the future.
Madam President, I have here a set
of resolutions Indorsed -by another or

have the committee on resolutions pre
sent to this body for consideration.
I would urge the women throughout

Whereas. Our present water laws can
vrto4 be found by a study of the statutes
alone, but must be sought for in a long
series of decisions by our supreme
court, and apparently are so conflicting
-mat our amest lawyers airier in opin

This law is Incomplete and inadequate,
and has been, and is. in a state of flux.
Disputes are decided by the logic of
judges, rather than by statutes of the

Oregon Federation of Woman's clubs
that it is the dutv of the state of Ore

codify and enact a complete, concise
and definite water law. leaving to the
courts only the mere interpretation of
this law on such occasions as it might
be brought into dispute, and be It fur
ther
Resolved, That such water law should
be based upon the best experience of
other states and countries, such as Wyo
ming. Idaho and Canada, and should
include the following fundamental prin
ciples: 1. That no-water right should become
vested except ny direct grant rrom the
state. .
2. To proVlde a system whereby the
priority and limitations of every exist
ing right to the use of water can event
uallv be ascertained.
5. To provide a reliable record In
some central office of all water rights
"as determined, and of new rights as
initiated.
4. That actual measurements of
ditches and streams be made as a ba
sis for the adjudication of existing
rights and the Initiation of new rights
to the surplus water, If any.
8. To provide a definite procedure
whereby rights to such surplus water
may be acaulred.
6. That beneficial use should be the
basis of all rights to the use of water,
and that water for irrigation purposes
should be made appurtenant to the land
irrigated.
7. All rights to the use of water fori
power development should be limited
to a period of 15 years, subject to re
newal under certain restrictions.
8. To provide an efficient administra

the distribution of the water supply
among those entitled to its use. Motion
of Indorsement carried.

Ttf Heu of a president's report, the
1 Salem delegation beg leave to sub
mit the following report to the ladies
of the state federation:
Greeting The Palem Woman's club
had the great privilege and honor of en
tertaining for the first time last Octo
ber the State Federation of Oregon. I
am sure lasting good resulted to our
Club rrom tnis meeting, tor instance,
our club this- year appreciated the ad
vantage of having the club represented
at the annual meeting, and as we had
a considerable distance to come, the
club voted to pay the traveling expenses
of the delegates. Last year for the
first time in our history, we had no de
partment work, but we have started
two departments this fall, art and his
tory. Salem naa naa tnis experience,
there Is never a lack of competent lead
ership, but the rank and file do not care
for serious study.
In the line of civics, our club can
report progress. About a year ago our
ciud oriered to oeaucny uie aepoi
grounds. We offered to provide appro
priate plants and shrubs. As it was the
property of the railroad company, we
preferred to have them superintend their
own improvements, but they -declined
the offer, saying it would Interfere with
traffic. A year ago the Willamette
University laid a new cement walk
along their campus on State street, and
In order to conform to the city grade
established for. the street, it was feared
a noble line of trees would have to be
sacrificed. The Woman's club came to
the rescue, a compromise was effected
with the committee on streets and high
ways of the common council and the
trees were saved. Last spring Mayor
Rodgers who ts a progressive man, ap
pointed a cleaning up day and the club
women were asked to help in connection
with the publio schools. At the Cherry
fair In Julv our club was prominent In
committee work and solicited for a
visitors' lunch. At tne state rair, Mrs.
Ravmond had charge of the art tent.
Salem has had several boosting meetings
and our women or the ciun nave been
asked to cooperate in all lines and we
have promised our aid. We have asked
however, that the bicycle ordinance al
lowing bicycles on - sidewalks be re
pealed. The women feel that our lives
and limbs are in jeopardy under exist
ing conditions.
Through the efforts of Mrs. Dodd the
subject of ethics - has been Introduced
in publio schools. ..-
During the year the club enjoyed sev
eral attractive programs, among them
Mrs. Dodd gave a talk on the "Pictures
of Europe, that Impressed .her -when
abroad-. W had a lecture by Prof.
Hudman of Portland, on "Oliver Crom
well," and a lecture by. H. B. Thellson
of the Board of Trade on "Civics. -.
Several years ago at Astoria where
I attended as a delegate to the state
federation, our delegation was almost
astounded at the activity of a club in
southern Oregon, mey appeared to hold
functions daily or nightly and were
fighting the common council on a Car
negie library proposition At that time
Salem had .worked along department
lines only. In the midst or things, Mrs.
Julia Mftrqnara said: "I think It is bet
ter for a club to do one thing well In
five years, and really accomplish' some
thing, than to try to do manv thlnes
and probably accomplish nothing." The
remark made a deep impression on me,
and today, I come to tell you that Salem
club has made good the last five years
in the establishment and maintenance of
a publio library which was started in
1904 under the auspices of the Women's
club. We made a very humble begin
ning. In fact we had no visible means of
support except the Woman's club which
is not a financial institution, for about
two years. We began with a nucleus
of books secured at a book social at
Governor and Mrs. Geer's. In a periodi
cal fund, we solicited on the street for
three successive years; for librarian's
salary the same method was adopted.
We petitioned the common council for
tue use of the council chamber for li
brary purposes. We did some lobbying,
but when the vote was taken on the
library proposition, all but oti man
voted against- us, but the mayor who
was favorable to us. secured a recon
sideration of the subject and we were
permitted the use of the room which
we still occupy. The last two years,
the city council observed we were suc
ceeding, and we have had little trouble
in getting our budget loaned. Our
fourth annual report showel a circula
tion of 28,474 volumns. We stand sec
ond to Portland In point of circulation.
Our percentage of fiction has been re
duced from 83 per cent first year to 60
per cent last year. We have a library
of 7200 well selected volumns. For In
stance, our children's books are as good
in kind as in the Portland library, the
aama is also true of the history, sociol
ogy and other departments. Our , card
catalogue is about completed. We allow
the grade teachers in tne public schools,
teachers' cards with as many as SO
volumns issued, thus helping the school
rooms in their supplemental work. Last
winter, though our mayor, Mr. Carne-
rte's secretary made us an offer- of a
14.004 library building, which, proposi
tion the library board respectfully de
clined on the ground that it was In
adequate for the purpose Intended. We
have not a poor public building in the
capital city and we do not propose be-
? tinning with a poor public library build
ng, but will trust the future for one.
The aim of the library board is to do
effective work with our present plant.

AT THE recent national election Rev.
Anna II. Shaw, president of the
National Equal Suffrage associa
tion went to Denver to personally ob
serve the conditions on election day In
a great city where women vote. Here
Is what she says about It:
The day was beautiful. The sensa
tion as of a Sunday or Thanksgiving.
Not one man did I see intoxicated. All
saloons closed front and back. We
started out in an automobile at 8:30
a. m. and went continually until the
polls closed at 7 p. m. Not one man
did we see electioneering or pulling or
pushing, much less a woman. Order
was perfect; men and women fell in
line everywhere without display or dis
order. The first thing that impressed
me and remained with me all day was
the utter absence of sex consciousness.
There were no smiles or glances or
anything denoting the presence of men
and women. They "were citizens Intent
on performing their duty to state and
nation.
The per cent of women voting in
creased ;as one went from the slums
to Capitol Hill. In one polling place on
Capitol Hill the per cent of women reg
istering and voting was 65 and it ranged
from that to !7 per cent in the residen
tial and Industrial parts of the city.
In the slums, the real tenderloin, out
of 700 registered. 100 were women and
only 20 of these voted. In the next
slum district, out of 450 registered, 80
were women and about 80 voted, show
ing that the vote of women increased
as one ascended the scale of industrv
and intelligence. One of the "kings of
the tenderloin" told tne there was ''noth
ing doing In women's votes": that they
did not vote In the tenderloin any mor'o
and never had except when the corrupt
police forced them to. He told me not
to fear the bad women's votes; that thev
would not vote unless forced to do so
to get police protection for their busi
ness. Another "king' of the same dis
trict warned me against the bad wom
en's vote. I could trtt but smile for
It is always that kind who are afraid of
our morals.
The traffic In the votes of 'unfortu
nate women seems to have been very
effectively stopped. Two men were ar
rested for rounding up the votes of the
slums (votes of men and women alike)
and were imprisoned, one for six
months, the other fdr nine." That ended'
that sort, of business.
More than half the polling places
were in the sitting rooms or parlors of
houses. They were all In houses, not
one In a saloon.
The absence of excitement was
marked, espeolally as it was such a
close election.
The women of all parties scratched
their tickets for Judge Llndsey and at
a breakfast given us by the Why club
where there were B0 women. Judge
Llndsey asked that he might come to
express his gratitude to the women
who elected him. It was a woman's
triumph, The night before election I
was at a dinner of professional women
and out of 49, only 2 did not say that
they intended to vote for Judge Llnd
eey. , -.... ., . -.. .i - :
I am so glad that I went to Denver.
Conditions were so good that if any one
had told me anything like the . real
truth, I would not have believed him.
It was so much better than I dreamed
as election could be. Oh! it was a great
day and one long to be remembered!
H H K . '
ALTHOUGH the alms set forth In the
constitution of Forest Grove are
social and literary , the members do
not wish to bold themselves apart from
the broader work of the Oregon federa
tion. It was, therefore, with Interest we
entered into plans of the federation for a
campaign in the Interests of the Open
Air sanatorium and to present to the
citizens of Forest Grove the dangers
from tuberculosis. , A meeting under
our auspices was addressed by Dr.
Pierce and also by Mrs. Trumbull of
the Portland club, who spoke more es
pecially in the interests of the Visiting
Nurses' association.
a Since our organization three years ago
we have interested the directors of the
public schools in manual training. The
success of the work amply justifies tho
appropriation we made towards equip
ment. Our club, which now consists of 60
members, maintains four departments of
special study, each under a competent
leader. Household economics in particu
lar receives enthusiastic support. Dur
ing our three preceding years most of
the 'regular club work was directed to
the study of American history and in
stitutions. The growth of department
work and the increase in membership
makes the plan of united study no
longer desirable. This year we have
selected topics along the line of local
Interests and the broader lines of fede
rated work. Our open meetings give
ample testimony that the Woman's club
Is appreciated as a social and intellec
tual factor in Forest Grove. We do
not open our doors so wide that the
pleasures of life may be enjoyed with
out its responsibilities; we are glad,
however, to make an occasional contri
bution to the community life of our
town. In the spring we shall hold a
special conference for our members
under the direction of Rev. Jeanette O.
Ferris, whose experience in legislative
work in Iowa makes her residence in
Oregon a valuable resource for our club
women. At the time of her visit In
Forest Grove Mrs. Ferris will give
under our patronage an open address
on "Bonnie Haetland."
One of our members was a delegate
st large to the biennial at Boston and
her report of that convention was given
the first meeting of the current year.
Through the biennial and the convention
at La Grande we expect a stimulus that
will give us a desire for closer partici
pation In the work both of Oregon and
the nation. Respectfully submitted,
, MARY F. FARNHAM.
President Woman's Club of Forest
Grove.
t
IT seems but a brief time since the
organization of the Alpha Literary
club of Baker City, and yet, as the
eighth president of that club I am re
porting the eighth year of our club life.
We were organized primarily to give
to Baker City a public library. The five
years' work to found, maintain and keep
up this library before the city accepted
the books and furniture of the trustees
of tho library asHoctrition ts a tale that
has been told, and wo would not now
allude to it were It not that we wish
you to know about our beautiful Car
negie library now in process of con
struction. Wo are proud, not only of the hand
some new stone building, but of our
books, now numbering over 3200, which
we believe are carefully selected, but of
our librarian, Miss Moser, whose faith
ful work makes it possible for our
library to have an average dally circu
lation of SO books In addition to the
reference work done.
In the three, years that have elapsed
since the city took the library we have
been able to do more for ourselves, al
though we contributed something each
year to the library for books.
We are now a sort of a department
club, although we still have our regular
meetings on alternate Mondays attended
by all member of the club. The study
work Is done in classes. One of the
largest classes Is the one studying
Shakespeare. This is the third year
for this class, which Is now reading
"Hamlet" The art department took
early Italian art the first year, Dutch
and Flemish art the second year, and
this year will take a course In modern
art. The Bay View class is studying
German. There Is also a department of
domestic science. The programs for the
general meetings are furnished by these
departments..
Year before last we purchased our
piano and paid for it. and contributed
something over $100 to the library for
books. Last year we felt the need of a
rest and were inclined to think, our
patrons would appreciate a rest also, so
we did not put forth as strenuous an
effort to raise money as we had been
doing.
Our only contributions for outside
work was 825 to the educational loan
fund and the purchase of a flag for the
local post O. A. R.
From the sale of the Alpha club
cook books we have about $100 for the
library fund.
In the gift of the flag to the veterans
of the G. A. R. the club felt that it was
twice blessed for the appreciation of the
old soldiers for the handsome new silk
flag, blessed those who gave as well as
those who received.
We have many plans and hopes for
the new year and faith to believe that
this meeting will be an Inspiration to
help us on to that higher life, the one
of our ideal, for
"No life can bo pure In its purpose and
strong in its strife.
And all life not be purer and stronger
thereby."gTJgAN W. MOORE,
President Alpha Literary Club.
