late for a day is but an cpit-
ome of a lifetime. We wake
in the morning with no knowl-
edge of where our souls have
been wandering while the senses
slept; with fresh vigor and in-
terest we enter upon the occu-
pations of our daily work and
fulfill our duties with an encr-
ry that begins to rail as the
evening shadows lengthen: as
darkness deepens weariness
comes down upon us and at
last we are glad to lay aside our
work and cares and to surren-
der ourselves to the sleep that
spirits our souls biick again in-
to the unknown. Charles Grant
Miller.
' UIU.I) A ItIG DITCH.
lunda JI7.500 damages from three
saloon keepers, who had ruined Hed
lunda with drink, Is a startling nnd
revolutionary stroke.
Why have not the calloused courts
awakened to this criminal practice
long ago? Why have families been
driven to poverty, crime, misery, In
sanity and suicide by this infamous
crime of the century, and tho crimin
als allowed to escape all penally, ex
cept to pay a license to society for
the prlvlege of continuing their busl
nses. When a railroad train chops off a
man's leg, whether through tfcelr own
or his negligence, the Injured man re
ceives ample damages; when a far
mer sends a man into a hazardous
place and Injury results, the farmer is
liable; If a contractor erects an Inse
cure scaffolding and it falls and crip
ples a workman, the workman can
recover damages.
But here Is this willful, premeditat
ed, licensed crime of the century, not
only rendering men incapable of
work, but taking away their minds,
their manhood, their self-respect, and
leaving families at the mercy of char
ity, without a protest from the courts
of Justice, until now!
"ROOMERS" Ol-' OREGON.
While the East Oregonlan does not
wish to assume the role of adviser to
iht reclamation department, yet there
are features of the East Umatilla pro
ject which demand public discussion
and which the people should be en
lightened upon. The engineers may
or may not have taken notice of these
features. Engineers are only human
and cannot foresee all the emergen
cies which might ariBe in a project
they undertake, and therefore they
should welcome public discussion of
the great work In which they repre
sent the people.
In this country of floods and fresh
ets In the winter season and of scanty
water supply ln summer, the depart
ment must build a main canal leading
into the reservoir, suffiicently large
to Gil the reservoir during a few
week of flood water ln the winter
and spring.
There will not be a surplus flow of
water to direct Into the reservoir
during the Irrigating season when the
streams are low and all other ditch
companies are using the limit of their
apportionments.
The flood water must fill the res
ervoir daring the season of plenty,
and for that reason, the canal leading
into the reservoir should be larger
than is needed to fill the reservoir by
a constant inpour during the entire
season
Br O'lildlng a large canal, out of
all proportion to the size of the res
trvoir, the government will provide
emergency facilities for filling the
rsertir In the shortest possible time.
Then should the flood season be but
Brief, or the snowfall be light in the
mountains and there should be but
one short season of plenty, the reser
voir would be filled and the settlers
under the government project protect
d from drought.
If there was a strong, constant
flow of water in the Umatilla river
during the entire season, with cer
tainty of a perpetual Inflow for the
reservoir, the ordinary canal, built ln
proportion to the size of the reser
voir, would answer, and be safe; but
m this country of emergencies, of
floods and dry seasons, ample pro
vision should be made to fill the res
ervoir while the tide is high.
In addition to providing safety and
certainty as to the reservoir supply,
the large canal Is necessary for other
reasons.
Bhould the area of the project be
increased In future, which is highly
probable, the larger canal will be
needed to supply the Increase. Should
winter irrigation of adjacent tracts be
undertaken, which Is also highly
practicable and remotely probable
the large canal will be absolutely
necessary. So, from an economical
standpoint. It Is cheaper to build
lg canal at first, than to enlarge It
afterwards. The smaller canal will
fill with slit quickly and the expense
of clearing it will be greater than in
the larger canal carrying more wa
ter, and having a greater tendency to
"scour" the bottom.
The Portland Telegram will be mis
understood when It calls Oregon edi
tors, "boomers" of Oregon. Oregon
Is not being "boomed" ln the sense In
which this term Is most often used.
The term is used ln all kindness, but
It Is misleading.
Oregon editors are advancing the
legitimate Interests of the state, up
building It, developing Its resources,
advertising Its Just and true advan
tages, and seeking to bring a sub
stantial settlement to the stute.
But there are no "boomers" among
Oregon Journalists. The East Ore
gonlan does not now recall a solitary
newspaper In the state which Is
((booming" a locality, as this term is
general understood.
To "boom" a place means to build
up fictitious notoriety, enlarge upon
resources and advantages and "fleece"
the unwary by unloading gold bricks
upon them In the shape of real estate
at inflated prices or mining property
that has been salted, if not with gold
dust, at least with hot air.
Very little of this sort of "booming"
Is now going on in the state. Every
paper Is founded upon a permanent
business basis, and every locality has
a substantial foundation which Justi
fies the wide advertising which the
state is receiving from the Oregon
press,
The gathering of Oregon editors at
Portland is not for the purpose of
"booming" the various localities. It
is for the purpose of forming wider
mutual acquaintance and understand
ing. With this end ln view and with
this purpose accomplished, the Influ
ence and power of Oregon editors and
Oregon newspapers will be widened
and strengthened.
The state Is yet young. Many of Its
richest sections are undeveloped. To
bring Its advantages before the world
properly, to give an intelligent pres
entation of facts, to set before needy
homeseekers the true and honest con
ditions here, are parts of the mission
of the press of the state but this Is
not "booming" Oregon. It Is prevent
ing the disastrous "boom" which has
wrecked so manv localities In the
past.
THEIR HARVEST.
The good wife's sons come home
again
With little Into their hands.
But the lore of men that ha' dealt
with men
' In the new and naked lands.
But the faith of men that ha' brother-
ed with men
By more than the easy breath.
And the eyes o' men that ha' read wl'
men
lit the open books of death.
Rich are they, rich iu wonders seen.
But poor In the goods o' men,
So what they ha' got by the skin o"
their teeth
They sell for their teeth again.
For whether they lose to the naked
skin,
Or win to their heart's desire,
They tell it all to the weary wife
That nods beside the fire.
Home, they come home from all the
ports.
The living and the dead; '
The good wife's sons come home again
For her blessing on their head!
Rudyard Kipling, "The Sea- Wife."
A TALE AND A MORAL.
Two birds flew out of the south one
day,
And over the Joyous world
Each flung a melody loud and sweet
And gladly Its tired wings furled.
And one bird high on the tallest tree
A place for Its nesting found,
While humbly the other built its home
Low down on the common ground.
A shrike fie wby and It saw the nest
That swayed In the branches high.
But the low built nest of the humble
bird
He saw not and passed It by.
Which points the moral I wish to
show:
Though fortune has cast your lot
Low down In the world with the hum
ble ones,
The Ills that strike at the mansloned
oft
Pass over the humble cot.
Lowell O. Reese In San Francises
Bulletin.
(t)li-ONT HAVE HELPED IT.
That the geographical area of the
United States is not fully compre
hended by the average foreigner. Is
illustrated by an anecdote told by
Jefferson De Angelis, the comedian,
An Englishman, accompanied by his
valet, had been traveling due west
from New York for four days. At
the end of the fourth day, master and
servant seated themselves In the smo
ker of the train, whence the man
looked steadily out of the car window.
At last his companion grew curious.
"John." he said, ''ot what are you
thinking?"
"I was Just thinking, sir, about the
discovery of Hamerlca," replied the
vnlf-t. "Columbus didn't do such a
wonderful thing when he found this
country, did he, sir? Hafter hall's
said and done, 'ow could re 'elp it?"

WHEAT YIELD DECREASING.
Twenty years ago the average yield
of wheat for California and in tne
Ran Jnaouin valley was 40 bushels
to the acre on winter-sown land,
while now a yield of 20 bushels on
summer fallowed land, Is considered
an exceptionally good crop, nnd sta
tistics only Indicate an average of 13
bushels per acre for the state of Call
fornlu. Not only has the yield of
wheat In the central valleys of Call
fornla fallen off fully one-half ln the
last 20 years, but millers of the state
complain of a marked deterioration
in the quality of the wheat grown
Thut Is, the gluten content Is becom
ing less every year, and the wheat Is
becoming more starchy. Statistics as
published by the Merchants' Ex
change of San Francisco, show that
the total wheat crop of California
has steadily fallen from 26,174,940
centals in 1888-89, to (,587,131 cen
tals In 1903-4. Orchard and Farm.
