Selected. can hold out under the present laws and win. Athenn lias throo times as much money Invested In church property as Milton, yet public sentiment In Athena has not yet turned against the saloon. This comparison Is drawn to show that temporanco Is not strictly a church movement'. There Is ono featuro of tho coming Irrigation law which tho East Ore gonlan bellovcs should bo clearly de llnod. That Is tho provision for win ter Irrigation, In districts where tho summer flow of streams Is owned by old ditch owners but where tho streams furnish nn abundance of water for Irrigation from November to May. An Injunction, rendered by Judge Ellis In tho circuit court of this county, In tho Hudson Hay and Freowatcr ditch case, which permit ted the use of flood waters on terri tory not covered by tho summer flow of tho Mttlo Walla Walla rlvor has reclaimed at least C,000 acres of rich land, which was Idlo and unused bo fore. While tho summer How of the stream will not permit of the con stant Irrigation- of this new tract, the court injunction, which entitled these new settlers to uso waste waters from November to May, Is a munificent and beneficial order ana this very principle should bo Ingraft ed Into the Irrigation law of tho state. Tho lands and tho streams must bo rated and graded, and where the summer How will not permit of any extension over now territory, tho law should say how long and to whnt , ! extent tho flood waters of each I stream shall be utilized. It Is now an established fact that too much j water Is being used In Irrigation in Eastern Oregon. It is also an estab lished fact that winter Irrigation will reclaim much of the Idlo lands of this section, and tho Irrigation com mission must make this one "at tho leading features of tho coming law. MILTON, A MODEL CITY. Temporanco In the city of Milton has not Injured business, and It has Breatly benefited the morals of tho community. For 17 years Milton has had no saloon. The sentiment of the com munity has gradually come to recog nize that there Is no necessity for the saloon. No one is suffering be cause of Its absence, and many are rejoicing. In two years there has been but ono drunken man In the city jail, and he did not get his liquor in Mil ton. The drug stores are not accus ed of handling whiskey, and the citi zens of Milton believe that temper- Tho Spokesman-Itevlow, a staunch republican paper, tho leading organ of the party In Eastern Washington, has bolted the republican ticket and will support the state ticket of tho democrats. The Iloviow will take enough republicans with It Into the democratic camp, this fall, to over throw tho railroad ring, which is tho cause of the spilt In tho ranks In that state. Tho stand of tho Iloviow is commendable. It refuses to sub mit to the lash. It chooses to exer cise Its own mind and voice In the Interest of the people and Its action Is a standing oxamplo to independ ent papers all over tho West. Tho day of tho narrow partisan paper, which will swallow the wholo pro gram of tho bosses Is past. A news paper that will not take a stand for the people, Instead of any faction or anwH iuikiis mere miner ine surrace, - . -,,, , . ,, , , , I party, deserves little respect. Tho as It does outwardly, for peoplo havo j l)drly '.,,. , nnv ntv simply been educated out of tho -drinking habit, and do not encourage 'its Illicit sale. Milton has no police court expen--ses arising from drunken brawls, and carousals. The city marshal works on tho streets, attends to the city fire apparatus and does overythlng but 'keep order, for his services aro need ed but little in this last task. The population of Milton has In creased steadily, despite tho argu ment that anti-saloon towns are dead towns. Tho population of tho city was given as 808 In the census of 1900, while the school clerk's census of this spring shows a population of "1,100. The morals of the town are beyond question. It has attracted & large population of well-to-do people, who camo there for school purposes, "because of tho pure moral atmos phere. Ninety-five per cent of the taxpayers of Milton are now temper ance advocates. The anti-temperance vote Is said to bo confined almost ex clusively to the floating population. Another featuro of the temperance element In Milton Is that the prohibi tion strength does not correspond ex actly to tho church membership. A largo percentage of tho prohibition vote of tho city Is found outside of tho church membership, showing that It Is not tho religious sentiment exclusively, that Is responsible for temporanco In Milton. Tho tax lovy in the city Is but 10 mills, and tho city Is now completing arrangements to begin work on a mu nicipal electric Hfiht plant to cost 48,000. Tho limit of the tax lovy Is 12 mills, which Is not as high as tho levy in Uaker City, ono of tho most notorious saloon towns In Eastern Oregon. The peoplo pay tho tax di rect to tho city, Instead of paying It to tho saloon, to bo paid to the city In licenses, after passing through tho saloons, , This Is ono oxamplo of local solf government. Tho East Orogonian bclloves moro country towns would bo like Milton If tho local option amondment passes, to glvo tho peo plo more oxtonded powors In soloct ing their surroundings, Milton la an exceptional caso. Tho fight for tho present moral conldtlon has been long and bittor, and not many towns peoplo are greater than any party. The Interests of tho stato are great er than tho Interests of any individ ual office seeker. DRIFTWOOD. The Shadow on the Blind. Last night I walked among the lamps that gleamed, And saw a shadow on a window blind: A moving shadow, and tho picture seemed To call some scene to mind. I looked again; a dark form to and fro Swayed softly as to music full or rest, Hent low, bent lower, still I did not know, And then, at last, I guessed. And through tho night came all old memories flocking, Whllo memories like the snowflakes 'round mo whirled. "All's well!" I said; "tho mothers still sit rocking Tlin prndlea of tho world." W, h. Ogllvle, In London Outlook. The Uooklover recently printed tho following little essay on "Ladles' Tongues," by Washington Irving. "Tho apostlo of the Gentiles have very ably discoursed of tongues In goneral; but I shall confine my re marks to ladles' tongues In particu lar, and this branch of tho subject Is alone, methlnks, a copious themo. Tho placo assigned a lady's tongue Is well known to bo an enviable ono. Well concealed from vlow on ono sldo by a pair or rosy lips, and by sweetly blushing cheeks on tho other. It is placed In Its honored seat to bo tho unseen Interpreter or those love lv oven that beam so bright above but not for that only, for besides, It answers every other purpose, good and bad, under tho wholo heavon. "I shall not attempt to nnalyzo this llttlo organ, and show how curi ously It Is constructed; milllco It for mo to detail somo of tho many uses to which It Is put by Us fair own ers. In tho first placo, then, It does a wondorful sight of gossiping. In deed, It has such a wido rango and such full employment In riddling and sifting and oxposing its neighbor's nf fairs, that It is marvelous how It ovor finds tlmo for anything o'so. "For mysolf, I wonder tho llttlo ma chlno Is not oro now worn out with thifl vory business. Tho fact Is otherwise however; for In addition to this labor It has tho strength and capacity to, and actually turns off a deal of scandal In tho course of a 'year, and often In a much shorter I period, making every character with I In reach of Its notes blacker than I night. If anyone wishes to wltnoss , this part of Its performances let him repair to a ealublo, whore tho warm oxtract of the Chinese herb circulates I freely, and there ho will see It ox- hlblted in its fullest perfection; Wit ho will find It difficult, I weon, to mako his thoughts and perceptions keep paco with tho llttlo galloper, un less they can outrun a steamboat and keep up with a railroad engine, never theless ho may try it. "1 shall pass over many or the minor, though not Inconsiderable feats of this wonderful animal, and como directly to Its capacity for scolding. "Hut why need I dwell on what Is familiar to us all? Who has not seen jladles, fair as Aurora, In the very act of scolding a thousand times? Ah! who has nover seen It look blue nil around them? Who would have guessed such a charming being so lovely to look upon capable of this? Who would havo dreamed that she had but tb lift thoso rosy portals and such torrents of execration would rush out but to unloose that llttlo tongue and shako the firmament with Its thunder. "Is there such noise and contusion In woman's elements I would ask? Surely not; tho whole mischief Is In her tongue alono. and that not under her control. Could she curb that, all would be well, but alas! It often runs nway In splto of her, and all her ef forts to reclaim and soften Its madcap disposition havo hitherto proved un availing It is to bo hoped they may not prove so much longer. Hut, on tho other hand, that this little mem ber has, as I havo already hinted, many shining qualities, cannot be de nied. 'It Is that that sings such melting strains In the ears of tho gentlemen, and tolling them tho dear angel, whose thought and feelings It speaks, Is passionately fond o fthem when, in truth, sho cares not a whit about them, almost breaks so many or their henrts. ".Many other notable and praise worthy exploits It performs dally, not meet here to bo mentioned. In short, as by this tlmo tho reader must have perceived, It is unsettled question whether It bo nn engine more power ful for good or for ovll. And with out saying moro I will beg the ladles' pardon for having said so much on this fruitful subject: In all I havo said I mean no offense to them, hut only to their tongues and If for this tho latter aro not let loose upon me, I shall mako a most marvelous es cape.
