IE URGES BETTER HI The following able address on the subject of Irrigation' and the need of a comprehensive Irrigation code for state of Oregon was delivered by Hon. Will It. King, one of the commission ers or associate Justices of the Ore gon supreme court, a well known at torney and popular citizen of Ontario, Malheur county, at the opening of the headgates of the Umatilla gov ernment Irrigation project at Hermls ton, Oregon on Wednesday, May 27, and that the readers of the East Ore gonlan may enjoy his excellent sentl mets, the address Is printed In full as follows: Mr. Chairman, ladles nnd Gentlemen: It is with much pleasure and sat isfaction that I have the distinguished privilege of being with you on this occasion. We have met to solemnize, for the first time In Oregon, the completion of Irrigation canals, constructed, not by the corporations, whose motives mny bo the enrichment of its members' by menns of a perpetual tribute, to be levied upon the water consumer, but canals constructed by and under the direction of that great and al wiiys reliable trustee of the people the government making the project the creation of the people, by the peo ple and for the people and built not for the good of any person In partlc ' ular but for the general good of all those who may become the homc bullders upon the lands to be watered by them. A .Monument to EiiiriiMi'rs. Especially do we feel honored by the presence here, today, of those who, under the reclamation act, have been Instrumental In the carrying out and completion of the work, And while they honor us, they In (return are honored; for they have here won reoresents the conversion of barren wastes Into fruitful fields and happy homes, unaccompanied by the evils, distress and misfortunes of for mer systems of warfare. This now method of warfare, these peaceful .conquests, mean progress. It assails the Inanimate, not the liv Ing; attacks the hill and mountain sides, removes the rocks from Its pathway, and tunnels the obstructions which have for ages precluded the parched soils from quenching their thirst from the mountain streams. By these great engineering feats rivers are checked in their hlthertofore ir reslstable march to the seas, and throueh th Immense trails, called canals, created by these peaceful ar mles in their steady marches, diverts the bubbling waters to the once bar ren wastes, making what had, for long ages, been deemed the worthless and unproductive lands, put rortn with life and under the(mornlng sun glisten with beauty. DcHtmcilon Means Lire. This kind of destruction means construction; It gives life, not death; progression, not retrogression; peace, Industry and happiness, not exter mination or distress. It signifies that the future generations will from year to year, devote less and less time to that Inhumanity toward man, characterltslc of the conquests In the historical past, and, in lieu of such wasted ambitions, devote their surplus energy to the Industrial contests so essential to the general good of all, and the victories thus achieved shall take the foremost rank among the achievements of the nation, an object lesson of which we here have one worthy of any country or nation. When, but a half century ago, the i migrants passed down and near this valley, with their slow trains, moving erected, and leave In commemoration i at the rate of from one to two miles of their names, these grand works, these embodiments of Industry, pa tience and skill, so conducive to the general welfare of our common wealth to serve as perpetual monu ments to their memories. It Is not the greut statesman, the great warrior, nor those occupying the high stations among the affairs of state, who alone are entitled to be crowned with the emblem commonly termed "success," but the one who whatever his calling or vocation In life- may be, can. at the close of his career, truthfully say, "I left the world better than I found It." The completion of this Immense system of canals, and Irrigation en terprise, constitutes another mile post in the progress of the civilization of the HRe. History will so record It. Every celebration of tho completion of an Irrigation enterprise of this class marks the successful outcome of one of the many hnttle.q in the peaceful conquosis, so characteristic of our day. ago and Rovernment. War t'Nii Kleinents. Py these munlflrent acts of our people, aethiR through the govern ment, as their trustee, In the em ployment on such works of legiouH of Its industrious citizens, are mak iiiK war, not as in the days of the an cients, upon one another, but upon the elements, upon the obstructions which preclude the deserts from yielding the vegetabb life so essential' to man's subsistence, heretofore lying dormant within their soli.

I began to doc tor him, and as soon as I got them healed up Inoneplacethey would break out in another. I was almost in despair. I could not get anything that would help him. Oneeven ing I read a tes timonial from a lady who had cured her little boy with Cuticura. I began to use the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and after using them throe times, the sores com menced to heal. He is now well, and not a scar is left on his body. Their have never returned nor left him with bad blood, as one would think. Cuti cura RemediM are the best I have ever tried, and they are surely great.

Again, it Is doubtful If any of that valiant party ever realized, or even dreamed that their ventures would be recorded In history as one of the lsadlng achievements of the century In which they lived, or that as a re sult of their efforts they were giving to the nation a terilory destined to excel that from whence they came. They "bullded wiser than they knew," Applying this example In carrying to completion such works as those here I IM'KUO. The adoption of the reclamation act marked a new era in our advance ment; and they, who were Instrumen tal In Its adoption, also "bullded wiser than they knew." Especially can this be s.ilil of those from the humid states, who gave the cnuse the bene fit of the doubt. Insuring the passage of the law from which these projects spring. Hy their votes in congress, they gave to the west an additional vital ity by which the already prosperous and growing inland empire received an Impetus, the beneficial outcome cf which can only be surmised. These blessings come not alone to the so called arid lands, but In time to all, for it will bo seen that even in the re gions blessed with copious rains, lr rlgatlon during the hot summer months will double the productive ness of their soil. . Wonderful Development Already. In former, times Irrigation was, in this part of the state, deemed Imprac ticable. No soil above tho valleys was thought productive. In the early seventies, wileil I p.it.fel my boyhood In this county (near Weston) over the hills and prairies only the bunch' grass, the 'Indians and their ponies, the curlew and Jack rabbits, could bo seen, where now we find the Immense wheatflelds for which this county has long been noted throughout the civ ilised world. I am reminded of a story told of Patrick Henry when on an outing in the Alleghanys. While nearlng their summit he was noticed to pause and listen. A friend observing his medi tative attitude, Inquired the cause. "I am listening," said the great pat riot, "to the footsteps of the millions who are soon to be the hosts that shall tread upon, and people the soil, of the now unexplored country west of where we stand." It dors not need the prophetic ear of a Patrick Henry In these days to hear the footsteps of the hosts to people the unsettled and unreclaim ed lands constituting the so-called arid and seml-arld west. It needs but the man of common observation, common sense and every day experience. He has only to look back a few years to be able to raise the curtain and peer Into the future, when he will see the flood waters, which for long ages have been accus tomed to flow at will in torrents through the fertile valleys, carylng the richest soil to the ocean's waste, conserved In the recesses of rugged mountains, with their destructive powers of the early spring converted into the constructive and fruitful ele ments of the summer season.

Fifteen years ago the lands along he extensive Snake river valley, the NHe of the west, were practically un settled and unknown; and well do I remember the time when the Owyhee canal upon Its completion was not deemed worth Its cost; and that when It was attached for the unpaid indebt edness of $30,000, Incurred In its con struction, Its owners were inclined to surrender it for the claim. This I urged them not to do and maintained that while the canal cost them but $75,000 it would soon be worth five times its cost; that lands COST PRICE For Colored Shirtwaists Colored shirtwaists in Lawns, Ba tiste and French Ginghams.
