Ten years ago It dwindled down to English and French, and to dry the English mother tonguo stands alont ns th,e unlversnl tonguo which reaches Into tho farthest riuartors of the globe.

Hack from my summer vacation, in tho noisy old town onco moro, Away from tho vicious mosquitoes And the chiggors that sting and bore, With my neck all raw and blistered And my noso ns red as a beet, I find that the city Is welcome And that life In town is sweet. Pari from my summer vacation, Away from tho worms that creop, Ami tho gnats that crawl down my nock-band, And bother 1110 while I sleep, Afar from tho flics and tho spiders And tho June hugs that biff and pelt, I am glad to get back from the country And tho loneliness I have foil. H:ti:k from my summer vacation, And tho soggy old stuff to eat, Where n restaurant meal is a pleas ure Ann a table d'hote is a treat. Where there's something to do be sides grumble, And something to do besides wait, Where I get my papers each morning And they're nover a whole day late. One Hundred Dollars Reward. LET US "You nover can tell what a thought can do In bringing you hate or love. In thoughts are things, and their airy wings Are swifter than carrier dove. Thoy follow the law of the universe; Each thing produces Its kind. And they speed o'er the track and bring you back Whatever goes out of your mind." Selected. iu tlio good old town onco more, Afar from tho oppressive silence, To tho crush and the rout and roar. In the city -there's something doing. There's Joy in tho meet of tho might And tho soul expands with tho struggle grows in tho shock of fight.

He will not , lay tho blame lor tho ignorance of begin operations in any state where the East at our own doors. there Is a possibility of failure through lack of co-operation on the part of the people or through incom plete irrigation laws or absence ot Irrigation laws. The reclamation of the desert is a big proposition, and Mr. Newell Is not going to risk a trial of the national act where there is the slightest doubt of Its full fruition. This may seem an exacting rule to apply to some seemingly favorable districts, but the people demand that their money be expended properly and employed in trado with tho United States.

Uetween 1821 and 1S24, strikes were few and unimportant, but In the yvar 1835, says the report of tho com rafuioncr of labor issued in 1901, "strikes had become so numerous as this is what sir x'nu-oii snomo ,i,inr. ! to call forth remonstrant comment mined on dolnir So lot Oregon iret from tl,e pub,1 preSS- A mlmbt'r mined on doing, bo let Oregon get ()f str,1es occllrre(1 , the thIrtos, in position to receive this responsi-1 moa, of wnIcn ha, lor tne(r objects bliity.

The Standard Oil monopoly actually con trols the production of that necessity of life and the poor people who cannot afford gas or electric lights, aro con tributing in unjust and outrageous prices, these princely dividends that are declared regularly by the octo pus. The Rockefellers cannot possi bly use the millions they are piling up In Idleness, from tho hard-earned incomes of the people, yet the prices of oil continue to advance and the dividends continue to Increase in magnitude. How long will such an accursed system oppress tho poor and stultify the rich? The Shepherd's Bulletin, a Boston sheep publication, which Is authority on wool, "sheep and kindred subjects, says that the Oregon wool now reaching the Boston markets is tho best grade over produced In the state and superior to any wool of a like class produced in tho United States. Tho clip this year was lighter In dirt and grease, making It a better buy for tho mills, tho quality is unexcelled In toxturo and uniformity of fibre and taken all through, the crop ot wool just sold In this state touches tho top notch as a result of constant care and grading of sheep, and also as a result of improving methods In handling sheep and wool crops. Tho chlofest feature of tho wool crop this year was that it brought a higher price than for a number of years and was sold out to the last sack. This la clear ev idence that It pays to bo progressive, It pays to bo right, It pays to build up, and It pays to tako carp of stock In a systematic and scientific manner. No business will over reach tho best stage, If allowed to drift, without ap plying thought nnd labor to It. tin participants. The demand ot tho men for shorter hours had, grown in 1S72 to the extent of asking an eight hour day. From 1S81 to 1900, according to the leporls of the commissioner of labor, there were 22,793 strikes, involving 177,509 establishments and 0,105,694 employes wero thrown out of employ ment. The duration of these strikes varied within wide limits, tho aver ago for 20 years being 23.8 days. Dur ing this period there was lost by the employes concerned in wages, tho sum of ?257,000,000 and to the em ployers $122,000,000. Considered by states, 28 per c.ent of all strikes occurred In New York, 12. per cent In Pennsylvania, 11.6 per cent in Illinois, 7 per cent In Massachusetts and C per cent in Ohio, In Now York city 5090 strikes wero recorded, in Chicago 1737. m Tho leading American strikes have been tho great strike of 1877 on the Baltimore & Ohio railway system which spread to tho Pennsylvania and other railroads, In which much dam age was dono to property and troops were called out; tho strike on tho Gould Southwestern system which occurred over tho discharge of a union man and was so complete as to crip ple the system for weeks; the strike of the workers in tho Carnegie Iron works at Homestead, Pa., in 1892, the bitterest in Amoricna history, In which a battle occurred between the strikers and their sympathizers nnd Plnkerton specials is said, defeated the republican pariy In the presiden tial election that year, electing Clove land for his second term. The strlko of tho American Hall way union followed In 1894 and made a nowly elected democratic president a marked and bated man by union men because of his firm stand for law and order and tho Bending ot regular troops to prov.ent tho strikers Interfering with interstato commerce. tlon of parliament for widening nnd deepening the navigable channel by which these docks are approached.

After a dry weok, during which time no water has been used for irrigat-ln:,-, Superintendent Crossen unnunoc es that a limited supply will bo al lowed -for that purpose tomorrow. Not that the extra supply has at length arrived, but on account of the condition of lawns It Is necessary that some irrigating be done. That all may share alike, and at the samo time not too greatly diminish tho sup ply It has been arranged that irrigat ing bo done on the bluff tomorrow morning at tho usual hours and below thoibluff In tho evening.

"Since the homo woman Is the In dispensable woman, It Is a pity she so often nllows herself to fall In her full development and reward," says an editorial In Harper's Bazaar. "She Is apt to bo so unselfish and so con scientious that sho lets tho four walls of homo narrow about her, and the simplest remedy is to have at l.cast ono.outsldo Interest.
