SAVE THE WATER. Water Is going to bo a precious liquid in Pendleton before the dry weather yields to Jupiter l'luvlus, from present indications. In view of this fact, it would he well for the city to make arrange ments with the Hoss Ice plant and Cohl Storage people to utilize tho overflow water lrom the plant for street sprinkling purposes, anil thus save the city water for household use. The overflow lrom the Ice plant amounts to about 10.000 gallons per day and is running to waste in tho sewers. This water is pure as tho filtering and purifying processes of science can make it, and contains no refuse matter whatever and could be economically applied to street sprink ling. Get after it. save it, turn It to use. There art- streets in town that have not been sprinkled all summer, and the dust is, ankle-deep in some of tliem. Hecauso they are on the hill side, out of the sprinkling zone is no good excuse for causing the resi dents upon these streets to suffer the intolerable curse of dust all season. Th property on Thompson, High ami Tustin streets near the school bouse pays taxes Into tho treasury and. Is entitled to the same protection as other property. Water may be scarce In the river and in the municipal well, hut here Is 10,000 gallons of available water go ing to waste overy day In the week. This water can be had at small cost and the streets of tho city need It. The use of It will save water In the reservoir for home use and fire protection and some arrangement Jhould be made lo save It and utilize It. The cost of connecting pipes to tho overflow pipes from the plant would bo small, the location Is central and would he convenient for loading and it is the most economical water prop osition over presented to the city. LEGISLATIVE BUNGLING. It now dawns upon tho trainers of the bill by which tho prlco of school land was to have been raised from $1.2fi per acre to $2.50, that the j words school land, wore omitted from the title of the act, nnd that tho law as applied to school land Is in operative. The bill Included school and In demnity land In Its provisions, hut through some inexcusable bungling, the tltlo was worded wrong and tho law does not ralno the prlco of school land, us Intended. Attornoy-Oeneral Crawford has re dered un opinion on the hill which discloses its utter weakness and emp tiness. IIo says tho state hind hoard cannot enforco tho provisions of the would-be bill, and thu price of Oro gou school laud remains at $1.2.1 per xcro. However, tho board has charged fiJiO for all school laud sold since the bill went Into offect, and each member has expressed tho willing ness to follow the Intention of tho legislature and soil all school land at $2.50 per aero. Of course, the land grabbers uro kicking at this and claim the right to secure valuable school lands nt $1.25 per ncro. H Is the opportunity of the grafter to get In some hard licks before another legislature meets to change the meaning and title of the act. The people of Oregon are In hopes the land hoard finds legal grounds for following the Intention of the law. The cream of the school land area of the state has been skimmed off at a shamefully low price. The leg islature, after 10 years of lethargy on the subject only nwnkos lrom Its Inactivity to make a mistake and a bungle. So far as the people are concerned It might have allowed the matter to stand as it was, ami it would have been much more compli mentary to the business qualifica tions of the legislature. This is not the only bungle made , even with persons in whose cms, by the Oregon leg.s.ature In the past.

A Huston critic, .Mr. Frederick Lawrence knowles, has complied a , it-. ..i- ........ i... n ..... .i i...... ' list oi wiiiii lie cuiih me an ueai American poems. Need It be said thnt his list is made of for tho most part by bards who frolicked with the muse In and aiouud Iloston7 We ilnd that the 50 poems which the lJos- tonlan selects. .10 were written by Longfellow, Emerson. Holmes, Whit- tier. Lowell, Mrs. Howe, and T H. j Aldrlch lirynnt comes In for two and I'oe Is credited with eight, probably because the latter Is regarded by Kngllsh critics as the foremost Amer ican poet. What the Kngllsh think well of Is not lightly passed over in Iloston. .Mere Is the list n lull: "Thanatop sis" and "To a Water Fowl.' Ilryant: "Israfel," "To Helen," "The City in the Sea." "The Haunted Palace," "To One In Paradise." "The Sleeper." "Annabel Lee." and "The Haven," Poe; "Divlna Comniedla." "Nature.' "The Skeleton In Armor." and "The Discoverer of the North Cape," Long fellow: "The Problem," "Days." "The Hhodorn." "Concord Hymn " "The Humble Hee," and "Each and All," Kmerson: "Skipper Ireson's Hide." "Telling the Dees." "In School Days," "Ichabod," "The Eternal Ooddoss." and "Playmates." Whlttler; "Hebe." "She Came and Went," "To the Dan delion," "Anspex. Die Courtln' " and "Peace." Lowell: "The Cham bered Nautilus." "The Last Leaf." "The Living Temple," and "Old Iron sides." Holmes. "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard llloomed" and "Out of the Cradle Endlessly Hocking," Whitman: "The Marshes of Oiynn," Lanier; "Hedoulu Song." Haynrd Tay lor; "Abraham Lincoln." It. II.

"Sleep." and "Unguarded Oates." T. H. Al drlch: "Sesostris." Lloyd Mifflin; "An Ode In Time or Hesitation." William Vaughan Moody. The last named In the list Is that of a Chicago poet, hence this city has one representative against Itostou's 30 odd. Perhaps we ought to he grateful to the Hoston critic for let ting Chicago in at all, In view of the fact that he has shut out Indlnna with her wealth of poets und doesn't' t give the Sweet Singer of Michigan or Ella Wheeler Wilcox even honor able mention. We do not believe the list will glvo much satisfaction outside of a certain When thu hot days of sum mer como the cook stove Is to he avoided and well it can ho witlt tho slock ot summer deli cacies.

Jinny eminent men have given to thu world their respective Impres sions of Leo's temperninunt and per sonality. P. Marlon Crawford, tho novelist, thus described him: "As ,n man, he possesses the sim plicity of character which almost al ways accompanies greatness, together with a Healthy sobriety of temper, habit and Individual taste rarely found In those beings whom we might cull 'motors' among men. It Is com monly said that the pope has not changed his manner of life since he was a simple bishop. He Is, Indeed, a man who could not easily change either his habits or bis opinions; for he Is of that enduring, melancholic, slow-speaking, hard-thinking tempera ment which makes hard workers, and In which everything tends direct ly to hard work as a prime object, out of humanity In the rough state For he Is a great pope.'
