' THE TITANS BUILD NATURE! has grasped the hand of man and commanded him to write an epic of titanic reclamation In the interior basin of the Columbia. She has laid the land, 2,000,000 acres of it, out under the sun, parched and dry, but in exhaustless upland reser voirs she has Stored the water needeoT for the redemption and the fructifi cation of the area. To "bring the water and the land to gether is. the task that nature has al lotted to man. It is an enterprise that should unite the West. No one community is equal to it. All work ing together must supplement (heir own efforts with the aid and support of the government. . -I ? " ; ! Preparation has already been made. The lands embodied in what is callel the Columbia irrigation project are crossed by all the transcontinental railroads that serve the ports of the Columbia and Puget sound. The Co lumbia and , the Snake rivers, , great transportation . arteries, sources of water supply, means-of drainage, and containers, of a quarter million poten tial hydro-electric horsepower, will render possible the reclamation, of the, region and then float its products to tidewater. The conception which allies the principal cities of the Northwest in promotion of the Columbia Irriga ton project has large appeal. ; The rewards assured from the success of the effort are larger. Irrigation is no longer a theory or a dream.. It is an actuality and a success. The Twin Falls project in Idaho cost $11,000,000. The yield of the land reciaimod at Twin Falls last year was valued at ftS.OOOiOOO. The Yakima project cost $14,000,000, but the products of the Yakima valley last year sold for $54,000,000. The lands about Twin Falls and Yakima were apparently , as perma nently dedicated to drouth-stricken desert as the arid lands of the Colum bia basin project appear "now. The water is the life giver and the trans former. " ; 'f; ..... i The size-of. the project becomes ap parent with the estimate that the cost of reclamation will be $300,000,000, But it Is also estimated.that a year's yield of staple crops from the land claimed w ill be equal JLo the expense fof installing the project.. Judged by results from Yakima and Twin Falls the estimate Is over-conservative To Portland and other ports3 of the Columbia the plan should be excep tionally attractive.' It will stimulate not only the business In which com petitive cities of the Northwest will share, but it will result in the produc tion of grain and fruit and feed. which" can move more economically by water than in any other way."

' : - ; ... - First honors in the sugar imbrog lio go to tie housewives.: The price has dropped to "about 2$ cents pound wholesale and hasn't reached tha bottom.- The reason assifnied is not -an Increase in the supply but the refusal of the home buyers of" the country to pay extortionate prices. Let the campaign go on. The testi mony of the sugar manufacturers Is that their: om profits are included in a price of 8 to 10 cents a pound under present operating; conditions. Su-ar should not cost the consumer more than 11 to 14 cents a pound. THE MARKET COMMISSION BILL. THE 6tate market ' commission measure is to be on the November ballot. It was filed with the secre tary of state Wednesday. The pur poses of the commission are defined as follows: -. To act as adviser for producers. consumers and distributors, assisting them In economical and efficient dis tribution of any ' products at fair prices. ' j . . . " To gather !ad: disseminate im partial information concerning supply.l demand,: prevailing , prices and com mercial movements, including com mon and cold storage of any products. To promote; assist and encourage the organization and operation' of co operative and other associations and organizations for "improving the rela tions and services among producers. distributors, and - consumers of any products, and to protect and conserve the interests of toe producers and consumers of products. ' : To foster i and encourage .coopera tion among , producers, distributors and consumers of any products, in the Interest of ' the general public. To foster and encourage the stand ardization, grading, inspection, label ing, handling,' storage and sale of any products. ' : To act as a : mediator when re quested by either party or as an ar bitrator, when requested by both parties to a controversy or issue that may arise among producers, distribu tors and consumers of any product. To certify, for the protection ; of owners, buyers or creditors, when so requested, warehouse receipts for any products, verifying qnanUUes and qualities thereof, to take from any common or cold storage warehouse. whether privately Or publicly owned. seal and certify; when requested, samples of : any . products, . and to charge for such service fees sufficient to make the service at least self-supporting.:. : j ' - ' .'- -'J' :-'f "':" To issue : labels bearing the - seal of the state market commission on request of the: producer, packer, can- ner or distrlbujor, ' for any products for which state labels have not other wise been provided by law. ,v; To act on behalf of the consumers of any : product in conserving and protecting their interests in every way. -: J ': v-$t ' : To' improve, broaden and extend in every 'practicable -way the distribu tion and sale of any Oregon products throughout the markets of the world. -' To promote in the Interest of -the producer,-' distributor, and consumer, economical and efficient distribution and marketing of all or any agricul tural, dairy and farm products, grown. raised, manufactured or processed within the state of Oregon. .. To gather and disseminate, through a monthly bulletin, impartial inform ation concerning the supply of, de mand for, cost of production of. pre vailing prices of, expense of . distribu tion of, commercial movements in intra-state and inter-state commerce of any products, including quantities thereof in common or cold-storage. To supervise all cooperative asso ciations existing under the, laws of the state. ;i . -. ;T:: "v" ' To keep the producers and consum ers of the state Informed of the sup ply of and demand for, and In. what markets: products can most advan tageously be I disposed of Or piir chased, i y : Could such a- commission be more needed? -And ; could . its "; efforts be directed toward better purposes? To avoid a 10 cent streetcar fare in Tacoma it has been proposed that the city have joint supervision over operation of, the railway properties through a - commission and that fixed charges, such as payment of gross earning taxes and cost' of free transportation' of city employes, be waived for one year. . - A similar pro posal made in Portland was defeated at the polls and fares went to 8 cents. 'Both were attempts to meet the railway problem through reduc tion of expenses . rather than in creased revenue. . " A POLICE JUDGE'S SERMON THIEVERY Is often spoken' of as the "easy way." Generations of the light fingered gentry are heroized in sensational fiction for their ad venturous and opulent lives. : But Judge Rossman down at police eourt - the other, morning said that among all the drab throngs that have passed before him In the three years of his present-experfenee he; has yet to see a single prosperous Or happy thief. - - '. ;l; ' v He was talking to a boy a : boy who' had stolen. - He told him what many would know with less sorrow had expf-,nce not been their teacher, that no man gain. anything,by, steal ing, i If detected therif' Is Immediate embarrassment. If the theft is un observed there" Is an immcJialj temptation to steal again. Self respect Is lowered. Conscience is blunted. Success is impossible. " v. , Some day, the judge continued, the convicted Vthief may meet a woman lo .whom he would pay the highest honor, but who will withhold honor from him if she finds he has a crim inal reeord. J k' ;. . You may want to take a civil Service examination and there 'you must answer the question. "Were you ever convicted of a crime?" You may. 20. years from now. be a witness In a ease, and some attorney may -try. to belittle your testi mony and bring this mistake up to you and you must admit the tact, though you then occupy a high business and social position. You will find that this convic tion jriU have a habit of bobbing up In your life in the most Inopportune times. What can you do to correct this mistake? - Begin today to live such clean, wholesome, manly life that day by day nd year by year as time awes by your fellow men may see that what you have done was not because you were bad at heart but was the mistake of a thoughtless boy who had forgotten for the moment the teachings of his father and mother. . ; Recently it was suggested that preaching is falling Into disrepute be cause the expositor Is ; often on a plane below: his i audience and- his lecture subjects better discussed in secular balls. If the sermon and the person need ing it could always be brought to gether so well as In this Instance, preachers; might find their : greatest usefulness as police Judges. . ' If section : 28 of the Jones mer chant marine act becomes effective, if Japanese and other foreign ship lines withdraw in favor of British Columbia ; and f Atlantic coast ports rather than -attempt to - absorb the rate preferentials proposed in favor of freight caried in merchant marine vessels, and if the shipping board is no more generous in its allocation of merchant marine' vessels to this port than It has been in the past, then how is this port to maintain its shipping? s A SIX-MONTHS' . RECORD THE accident prevention campaign is a success. If the present ratio of deaths from automobile accidents continues throughout the year, a new safety record will be estabJisJied for Portlan0 In spite of a 35 per cent increase in the number of automobiles on the streets of the city, the death rate from accidents has been cut In half. ;: ' ! ; Figures for the first six months of this year, given out by; the traffic bureau, show that as : against 42 people killed In traffic accidents last year only 11 met. death between Janu ary and June 1 of this year. At the same rate" 22 fatal smashups will occur in 1920. -Is t Never before since records have been maintained, has the toll fallen below 28 jfor 12. months. Never before has it been so safe to travel on local 'thoroughfares. Never before has life been so generously spared, t i f The record to date has been 1 ac complished under unfavorable condi tions. There are more automobiles 10,000 more. There are "more pedes trians. This city-' has been host to big conventions, among . them ' the biggest Portland has ever seen. There have been new drivers and visiting drivers who had, no knowledge of our traffic rules. And, in spite of it all, Portland is on the way to the safest year in recent history. ' But the year is not ended. There are six months, left, and after this yer- other years. The death rate can still be lowered. The fatal accidents, and practically all other accidents, are avoidable. When machines are under complete control, and when: pedes trians comply with the rules' of safety. there is Seldom an accident Few are the instances, indeed,' where accidents occur that someone has not 'failed to regard , the laws of prevention. Portland has made a start. The be ginning has been made through educa tion and law enforcement. Killings have been fewer because the Port land traffic "bureau has functioned, and because - education has : been carried into' many of the homes of Portland. They have been fewer ! because pedestrians have been more careful and because the sane drivers have caught the spirit Of the campaign and carried it forward. Through these agencies lives have beeri saved. And the campaign will not stop here. Stock of the Standard Oil com pany of New Jersey was quoted at the close of 1919 at $608 a share, an increase of $24 a share in a year- The net earnings, were $77.72 a1 share. In the face of the gasoline shortage the company doesn't seem to be so poverty stricken after, all. DOWN ON THE FARM JAMES J.

UNCLE JOE, THE EVERLASTING By Carl Smith, Washington Staff Cor respondent of The Journal. Washington, Julir S. Joseph Gurney Cannon, - otherwise : known as . "Uncle Joe," has been renominated by the Re publicans of his district 'for the twenty fifth time and as he has failed of elec tion only twice irt it years., it is ex pected that he will be returned in fo vember. He does not need to be re elected to round out a longer service in congress than anyj other man has .at tained in the history of the government All he needs to dol to-set a new record will be to live to December 29 of the present year, on wich day he will pass the mark set by Senator Justin S. Mor rill of Vermont, who served 41 years and. 10 months. Twelve years of .'this time v Morrill was' a member of -- the house, the remainder of the time In the senate. Cannon ras first elected to congress in 1872 and took his seat March 4, v. 1878, the beginning: - of President Grai.fs second term. He has been elected 22 times and defeated twice, in Democratic landslides. Had his service not been interrupted by . these two. periods of retirement, he would already be mere than - three years . past the record xor service. In age Cannon is rnine months younger, than the oldest member. General Isaac R. Sherwood. of Ohjo, who will be 85 in August. Cannon is much more vigorous in body than Sherwood, and the Ohio veteran has to use an ear trumpet to hear what is going on in, the house. Cannon is wiry, makes frequent short speeches in the house, balancing on his toes and throwing his arms in windmill fashion. witn little less vigor than 'he used when he was the speakef and dictator of the bouse 10 years a Sherwood is the last surviving veteran of the Union army In the house, and the wonieoerate : side also has one repre sentative. General (Charles M. Stedman of North Carolina, who was 79 last Janu ary and seems in fjull physical strength, although he served I all through the war with - Lee's army down to Appomattox and was wounded three times. S ted man is one of the best liked men in the house. ) - These three Cannon, Sherwood and Stedroan with four other of the oldest members, met at lincheon on May 7 in celebration of Uncle Joe's eighty-fourth birthday anniversary, tendered by Sena tor Carroll S. Page (of Vermont, who was 77 in January. The others were Senator Knute Nelson oV Minnesota, 77 in Febru ary, the last veteran of the Civil war in the senate; who is proud that he was a privates Senator1, William P. Dilling ham of Vermont, who will be 77 in De cember next, and Representative William S. Greene of 'Massachusetts, who was 79 in April, v ta , Passengers on a convention-bound train from Washington to Chicago mar veled at "Uncle Joe's" disregard of con ventional bedtime hours. ng after most passengers .were tucked away, in their berths he was engaged in a card game In the smoking compartment -with some of his cronies! Some of these pas- sengers may : have marveled the more when they saw hifai appear before the convention In murky heat, swinging his arms in the familiar way. and using a voice that showed ho strain in reaching to the far corners) of .the great audi. torium. Portland's Hospitality From the Astoria Budget. All Oregon should . feel pride tn the manner in which Portland . acquitted herself as hostess to the many thou sands of visitors attracted from all parts of America by the Imperial Shrine con vention and her Rose Festival. It is a distinction not onr to Portland but to the whole state that the visiting nobles should declare with unreserved enthusl- In the United States has ever given them such entertainment as did the Rose City of Oregon. To' care for 100.Q0Q strangers, provide them with eating and. sleeping accommo- entertainment - for every hour of their stay is a monumental task. It requires efficient organisation. months . of preparation and a - mint of money. but most of all it. - requires a heart that glows true hospitality. With the warmth of The unprecedented success of the week of festivities and the extravagant words of praise from the lias of departing Ernests prove that Port land had not overlooked a single essen tial, was not lacking: In any of . the re-t qulrements for the perfect host. The citizens . of Oregon's metropolis spent several hundred thousands of dol lars In entertaining the Snriners and the Rose Festival guests. The returns on this Investment are not to be meas-' ured merely in the money spent by the visitors during their stay. The larger returns will come from the new concep tion of the beauty, the - industrial life, the opportunities and the spirit of Port land and Oregon jwhlch the thousands of happy visitors iare carrying- back to their homes. In these returns the whole state will share, for it is inconceivable that Portland should benefit to the ex clusion of the state of which she is the metropolis. . j 1 ' We of the smaller cities of the state are prone to complain of and criticise Portland, and many times we have Just cause, but., after all Portland is the big city or our state and an incomparable achievement such as has been hers this week should give every good Qregonian a thrill of pride, j The Budget chooses to believe that it is expressing" the feel ings of the great majority of the people of the state in saying that we appreci ate genuinely that she has done an ex traordinary thing Jh a most extraordi nary manner, and that we give1 her great credit and 'great honor. . , - --.. ' , : " :, - i WELE TREATEDl ; From the If anhfield Reeord.' - - Take your hat off to Portland; she's entitled to it. Joej Williams, who came back this morning, stated that there was not the slightest indication of overcharg ing in any way during the celebration. The cafes, theatres, hotels and stores treated the strangers in the best manner possible and there Was not one comDlaint heard. ' It is said by all that the Shrine conclave was an axiair which win do a lot of good for all the Northwest. Port land advertised herself, the state and all of this part of the Pacific coast, and those who returned east were one in say ing they had not' expected to find what they did nor receive the. treatment ac corded them. , -Things were not overestimated by the newspaper accounts of the Shriner con vention," said Joe Williams, on returning this morning. As an Instance of this, you wlU recall that the highest estimate the. papers made of .visiting Shriner bands was 75. I watched the parade and counted the bands' and there were. ex actly 86. It would take a -volume to tell of all the novel things , we saw in the Rose 'City," he said, "and as for being good entertainers. Portland established m reputation that can never be forgotten or excelled. The occasion was specially notable for the absence of kny sort of inclination to. overcharge sit the hotels or eating houses and in these days of profiteering that is saying a great deal, when with the temptation the Portland era had. they refrained and sent people away with a very high regard for their hosts."

Portland, July 8. To the Editor of The Joornal Thirty years ago a young and enterprising , man stepped into my room in Mornlngside college at Sioux City, Iowa, and stated that he repre sented Oberlln college of Ohio or. rather, an organization within the col legeand that the mission of this or ganization was to send young students out during vacation to talk prohibition in country schoolhouses. In that way the nation, he said, could be benefited in two ways we should get a dry nation and poor young men could get an education. The plan appealed to my fancy, frpm several angles, and since there appeared to be no other solution to that social problem I became one of the speakers. Among other things we were supposed to tell 'was -that , the Democratic party contained all that was final in the booze vice, and that the Republican party was no better. This year 30 years from the time made my first prohibition speech in a country schoolhouse I witness in the national, .convention of the -Democratic party .a stampede of SO minutes under the inspiration of its great prohibition leader. Would Bryan have taken that position when we students flooded the nation in the country , schoolhouses Bryan was practicing law and was a good Democrat, and prohibition was as far from his mind as it wis from the Democratic party. Who were the lead ers hi prohibition we young students, or Bryan? It doesn't matter, only to point a moral, and that moral is that a few years later I realised ' that pro hibition was not. the only question before the world, but that something lay deeper,' something that prohibition could lot reach, and unless it was settled every thing would return to ashes, and that movement was represented by "Henry George. When shall wo witness a scene for single tax in a national convention as we did for .prohibition ' in the San Francisco convention? v The young students must answer that question. J. R.. HERMANN. Talking Along a Sunbeam Hereward Carrlngton in Leslie's. One of the most interesting accom plishments of modern science is a de vice which has lately been perfected, by means of which it is possible to talk over considerable distances, utilizing, in stead of wires, merely a ray of light, or a sunbeam, which is focused in a cer tain direction. A- strong beam of light is concentrated, by means of a double con vex lens and grid, upon a vibrating mir ror, which mirror reflect the light waves at another angle. These reflected waves are passed through a second "grid" and lens, and are thus r transmitted, in the form of a fluctuating . beam of light, corresponding to the vibrations of the mirror. The -vibrating mirror in ques tion, by means of which the light rays are reflected, is attached to a diaphragm and this is fitted into a speaking mouth piece very much like our telephone transmitter. Words spoken into this trumpet, or mouthpiece, cause the dia phragm to vibrate, according to the spoken words dike the telephone), and this diaphragm, in turn, causes the mir ror to which it is attached to vibrate in unison with the . spoken words. This causes the beam of light to vary or fluc tuate in exact accordance with the sound vibrations, so that the light-beam also fluctuates in exact correspondence. At the receiving station, these fluctuating light' waves are focused, by means of a lenS, upon a sensitive selenium cell, which is a substance exceedingly sensi tive to light. The cell in question Is con nected with an electric circuit, in which several batteries ; have been placed and to which is attached a pair of telephone receivers. The electric current gener ated by the batteries passes through the selenium cell, and: alternations In the cur rent are produced by the varying-reaist-ances offered by this cell to the light rays it, receives..-. These variations are picked up by the telephone receiver and car? be heard in the same way that our ordinary telephone receivers transmit electric changes or 'variations into ar ticulate sound, j; - y- In this way, the human voice Is trans lated into speech, after having first been converted into light waves and then elec tric currents, and back again into speech. In this way speech can . be conveyed across considerable distances, without the slightest sound being detectable by any listening ear, since the light-vtbra tions are, of course, soundless, unless re converted into sound by the proper mechanism, and travel in the ether (even a vacuum) and not in the air, as do sound waves. Olden Oregon Chief Events in Early Tlltamook' and Umatilla History.
