When foreigners see our
American women, note their
'self-poise ami knowledge of
affairs, they shake their
heads and wonder that the
whole social structure doesn't
tumble Into ruins. The old
Idea that home-loving and
-r home-keeping must be allied
to slowness and an amiable
sort of stupidity. Is yet with
them. Thoy do not know
what enlightenment on this
subject these women repre-
sent, nor what is the back-
ground for the substantial
character they eo much ad-
mire and marvel at. Hence
they write those absurd
things about the American
man and woman in their so.-
cal life. Eufina C. Tomp-

OREGON'S BEST WORK.
The state Irrigation committee is
Teally the most useful body of men,
working under the state government
today. If the program of the com
mission are fully carried out.
Nature has supplied Oregon with
an abundance of mountain streams,
fills them with water for a greater
portion of the year, and sends them
through the barren tracts, only wait
ing the regenerating touch of man
to complete the, great plan of utlll7
log the waste waters of the earth.
If this commission can provide a
general code of Irrigation laws for
this state, by which the water can
be apportioned among the farmers,
justly, equitably, fairly, In such a
manner that each man will have
just what he needs and none to
waste, it will perform the greatest
work ever done In the state.
' The distribution of water among
the new and old settlers, the recla
mation of every possible acre of
land with the natural water supply
of the state, through just laws of
distribution, Is one of the most glo
rious tasks before the state,
That will bo a happy time for Or
egon in which there will be no waste
water, but in which each mountain
3tream will be carrying its full bur
den of civilization, without waste of
energy.
At the present time, the streams
are Hooded for three months In the
year, when the land does not need
the water. Then tho "suven years
of famine," or the dry spell pomes
and the farms need that wasted
water ami tho streams are cmfity.
Tho mission of the Irrigatlonlst Is
to confine those waslo waters,, jjtoro
ffiem away, husband them, lay out
feeders ami canals Into the highest
mountains and gather in tho fresh
ets that now go to waste, and save
them up for tho dry season when tho
earth Is famished for a drink and
tho crops uro crackling in tho sun.
No moro glorious task was over
undertaken by man than this, It Is
tho conquest of nature. It Is tho

utilization of the lillo forces of the
, world for man's benefit.
I In the mountain RorBos, nature
lias nouoweii our. muurni sues air
reservoirs; In the heavy snowfall of
winter season she ilcposlts a golden
treasure for man: It Is man's small
IKirt In the plan to Rather this treas
ure In nature's ready mado storano
resenolrs, nnil parcel It out under
just laws when he needs It, In place
of permitting It to run to waste for
three months In the year, and then
permit his crops to die for want of
water, because of his waste.
AGE OF COOPERATION.
If a shipbuilding trust Is good, a
hodcarriers' trust is good. If It is
right and just for capital to cooper
ate and gain advantages by union of
forces, It Is just and proper for la
bor to unite and Imitate the arro
gance of Its brother.
If it is right for the salt trust to
gouge the woolgrower by a combina
tion of Interests, if It pays to join
hands and sell salt, It will pay to
join hands and sell wool or not sell
It, Just to suit the grower.
One thing the woolmen of Oregon
lack Just at the necessary time. Is
union. The Woolgrowers' Associa
tion is good as far as it goes. Its
purposes are all right, but they stop
too soon. Everybody believes In the
organized strength of tho associa
tion, after the wool clip is sold and
the season for good results past.
Hut what Is needed Is n union
that binds while the season's clip Is
on the market and tho buyers aro In
the Held.
The woolmen should sort their
wool at the pens this year, put the
grades In separate bags, and be sure
that there Is no mistake In tho
marking. Then every man should
haul his wool to tho warehouses,
and tho entire clip of tho county
should be sorted Into grades. Every
man should place his wool in the
pool, the different grades in the
marked bags, and not a pound of any
grade should be sold unless all the
wool in that grade is sold.
There must be some co-operation
and system among the woolgrowers,
If they expect to get tho best re
sults for all their members. If tho
buyer is permitted to go into tho
pooled wool and tako his choice,
somebody Is going to be loser and
the significance of your organization
falls flat.
There should bo a pool this year
that will be binding on every mem
ber of tho association. Care should
bo taken to see that the grades nro
properly sorted at tho pens, so when
a buyer cuts Into a sack of first
grade wool In tho warehouse, he will
find It a first-grade article.
If tho buyers are allowed to dis
criminate and choose tholr pur
chases, to tho detriment of members
of tho association, the organized
wool pool might as well be dissolved
and each man sell his own clip and
take his chances.
What appeared to be a Japanese
defeat on Wednesday, was a bril
liant Japaneso victory. It was moro
than a Japaneso victory, It was an
American victory. Tho Japanese
Imitated the Hobson and Alerrlmac
strategy at Santiago, and sent lour
of their old hulks Into the channol
leading to tho harbor of Port Arthur
and blow them up to bottle tho Rus
sian fleet in tho harbor, Americans
deplored tho loss of theso Japaneso
vessels at first, thinking that it was
a portion of tho Japanese fighting
fleet, but tho rejoicing Is universal
when It Is learned that tho Japan
ese turned a most graceful Ameri
can trick on tho Russians,
Tho Salem Journal says tho regis
tration law should be abolished. It
deprives many voters of tho privil
ege of voting, because thoy don't
havo sufilclent Interest In tholr
country to walk to tho dork's oflleo
and register. If tho registration law
prohibits ono Illegal voto in tho
state, each election, It 1b good nnd
should remain on the statutes. If
tho bona fldo cltlzon don't tako suf
ficient Interest In tho wolfnro of his
country to register nnd try to pro
vent fraud, It Is Inttor that ho lose
his vote through negllgoiico than
that ono Illegal voto ho cast. Thoro
nro not enough ttafegunrtlH around
tho ballot now. It Is too easy to

cally, nnil no relaxation on tho stiff
restrictions of tho ballot law Rhoulil

In 10 years from today, It Is safe
(o say that the Echo district will
celebrate the anniversary of the
planting of tho first boot crop there
All the experts say tho soli and cli

tho growing of sugar beets, If iho
farmers show n willingness to culti

THE WHOLE CHEESE.
John 1). Rockefeller Is taking the
the cheese cure for Indigestion.
News Item.
If I were only Rockefeller,
How I should delight
In eating two-Inch golden bucks
At twelve o'clock at night;
And then I'd seek my downy bed
And feast my eyes upon
Red rattlesnakes and prong-lulled
gnus
Until the breaking dawn.
If I were only Rockefeller,
What a Joy 'twould be
To make a breakfast of nilnco slips.
Spread thick with fragrant llrle!
And when I took my morning nap
I'd hear tho horrid screams
Of loud carousing crocodiles
(Jo surging through my dreams.
If I were only Rockefeller.
Nothing could compare.
When thoughts of supper crossed
my soul.
With toothful Caniombert;
And firmly ballasted with that,
Tho vasty deeps I'd dare,
And bid a bold defiance to
The dread of inal do mer.
If I were only Rockefeller,
The grindstones that thoy make
In foundries in far Switzerland
I'd much prefer to steak,
While Edams red and Roqueforts
green
And Pont I'Eveqiles decayed
Within mo like a pousse cafe
In layers would be laid.
If I were only Rockefeller,
All tho rest of you
Would sleep serene and dreamless
sleeps
The long night hours through;
For I would buy on every hand
All cheese, both great nnd small.
And how could you have food for
dreams
When I had got u all?

WHITNEY'S USE OF WEALTH.
William C. Whltnoy left a fortuno
estimated at J25.000.O0O. This Is n
lot of money. Vet It may conserva
tively be said that he might have
left twice as much had he desired.
Wonderfully endowed with the
monoy-making faculties, ho was one
of the very few men of great wealth
who found moro pleasure In spending
money than In making It.
He was no philanthropist In tho
common sense of the word. He
built no libraries and endowed no
colleges or hospitals. Vet It cannot
be said that his abundant distribu
tion of riches was not In effect n
phllanthrophy of tho most practical
sort, reaching almost every conceiv
able form of human need,
He was a lavish liver. Ho spent
a small fortune each year In enter
taining his friends. Ho built man
sions, maintained many country es
tates, bought art treasures, kept
racing stables, belonged to a dozen
or moro costly clubs, and in general
squandered his monoy in unproduc
tive and unprofitable things.
From ono point of vlow, It was nil
very foolish and very selfish. It was
a waste of money and n perversion
of energies. Tho same time and
thought nnd capital might havo
created great commercial or Indus
trial enterprises that would havo
survived to bless tho world long af
ter ho was gone,
, And yet, from tho viewpoint of tho
artist, the builder, tho landscnpo
gardener, tho stable boy and tho In
numerablo host of othors' who wero
glvon employment, encouragement
and Incomo through his extrava
gances, his course was tho wlso ono,
tho broadmlnded ono nnd tho ono
most truly philanthropic. It holpeil

serpent sinks its fang's into the flesh nnd nliuostTtistnntly the poison passes
through the entire body. Contagious Wood Poison, beginning with rUittlc
ulcer, soon contaminates every drop of blood nnd spreads throughout the
whole system. Painful swellings appear in the gtoins, a red rash nnd
copper colored splotches break out on the hotly, the mouth nnd throat
become ulcerated, nnd the hair nnd eye brows fall out ; but those symptoms
are mild compared to the wretchedness nmt suffering that conic in the latter
stages of the disease when it attacks the hones nnd more vital parts of the

PARISH DANCING LESSONS.
What would have been thought n
generation ago of a professional
dancing mnstor as an agent of
church missionary work? His services
are now In demand in several city
parishes. Ily the report of tho roc
tor of Calvary Episcopal church,
thoy have pitived valuable as cotin-tor-attractlnu
to public-hall dancing,
where the associations nre often
evil.
The Calvary experiment was In
lino with that begun by St. Ilartholo
mow's church. Saturday evening
dancing classes were organized in
tlie church gymnasium, and In these
many young people at once showed
themselves interested, the attend
nnco Increasing through the season.
Their success assures their continu
ation next year.

work which is at present most pro
