And speak of myriad things, and seldom say The full, sweet word that lies Just In our reach Beneath the commonplace of common speech. Then, out of sight and out of reach they go; These close, familiar friends who loved us so; And, sitting in the shadow they have left, Alone, with loneliness, and sore bereft. We think with vain regret of some fond word That rnce we might have said, and they, have heard. Selected. A SCHOOL TOWN. It is now but five weeks until the opening of the schools in Pendleton and country people are already mak ing plans to move here for the win ter in order that thein children may have, the benefits of good instruction. The Pendleton schools should be filled this fall more th'an ever before, for the town is more deserving of school patronage than in the past. In former years Pendleton was fre quently criticised as having too many saloons to be a good school town. This complaint can be made no long er, for the liquor business has been .wiped out completely. The law will be enforced. People of Umatilla and surrounding counties who wish to educate their children in a town where the moral atmosphere is good are Invited to this city. Here is a thriving, lively place with ample school facilities and a splendid teaching corps. Why look further? Pendleton Ijas always taken pride In Its educational work. The tax payers have freely spent the money necessary to provide modern buildings and competent instructors. Aside from Its grade schools and an excellent high school, Pendleton has two acad emies and a business college. No town In the state of equal size can make a better showing than this. No element Is more appreciated in Pendleton than the school people. The town is loyal In supporting high school enterprises and the people are genuinely proud of the little army of boys and girls that is annually en rolled on the school registers of the city. The school board Is composed of leading men who give thoughtful, conscientious attention to their duties and it Is their constant aim to make the schools better. SALOONS GO; HOMES COME. Inasmuch as discussions relating to "dry'" towns and good towns have occupied considerable space In the different papers of the state recently, the following from the Portland Jour nal Is of Interest: A queer phase of public spirit Is manifest at Corvallis. According to the local papers of that town the commercial body and prominent citi zens of that town are engaged In the unusual errand of trying to provide enough houses for people to live In. Increase of population has outgrown the Increase In dwelling houses, with tbe result that a public movement has been Inaugurated to supply the defic iency. The commercial body Is hold ing public meetings, and a commit tee of prominent citizens Is at work In the effort to aolve the dilemma. A part of the plan Is to personally so licit men or means to build dwelling" for rental purposes, and the aucceaa has been such that a strong move ment haa aet In, with a promise that the emergency will be fully met Tbe cellmates of a committee of the Com. mercial club is that SO to 76 houses aoust be thui provided In order to meet the shortage, and the present movement, It Is asserted, will provide, that number of buildings not other wise provided for. Of 100 buildings now In process of construction, but 25 of those vacated "a result of their construction will be available fur rental purposes. The town added two years ago 13 fvr cent to Its quota of residences, Ss per cent list year, and since Jan. uary 1 this year, 100 buildings have i-it her been completed or are now In process of construction. Property In the residence section Is declared to have doubled in-value within the past two or three years. ' An Interesting feature of the situ ation is that Oorvallis and Benton county was one of the first In going dry under the local option law, Whether the fact aided In the pres. ent great growth U not stated, but evidently the growth came in splto of dry conditions. A probable large, if not a chief factor In the steady growth, is that four years ago the city installed a system of mountain water, municipally owned, in which the water supply Is piped 15 miles from a mountain stream far up the slopes of Mary's Peak, giving the I town one of the best water supplies in the country. Altogether the situ ation is Interesting at Corvallis, on account of the present activity of i the Commercial club and prominent men of that city. BREAKING IP LARGE FARMS. The following editorial on a sub ject of vital interest to Pendleton and Umatilla county, is taken from the Portland Oregonian: Dispatches from Linn county con vey the information that the large grain farms of that county are being cut up into small farms and sold to new settlers, who will conduct opera, tlons on a different plan from that which has prevailed In the past. Linn has been slower than most of the val ley counties In realizing the advantage of cutting up the large farms. Though it was one of the first to begin de creasing the annual drain upon the soil Incident to grain growing. It has until lately retained the policy of maintaining the large farms. Home seekers can find many good oppor tunities in Linn county. From the level lands of the region near the Willamette to the rolling hills near the foot of the Cascade range, there li awaiting the small farmer every character of soil and surroundings one can wish. From. grain farming to diversified farming and from diversified farming to Intensified farming is an easy course. To turn Immediately from grain farming to intensified" farming is more difficult. Most of the grain farms have been so badly managed that the soil Is In poor condition. It is unproductive and difficult to culti vate, not because It Is lacking In what may be called the mineral elements, but because it Is lacking in humus. Diversified farming brings rotation of crops. It includes livestock hus bandry by means of which fertility la restored to the soil. By dairying and proper rotation of crops the soil will U,,. r88tored to its original productive ness and mellowness, thus preparing it for fruitgrowing and production of other valuable crops. Linn is one of the best agricultural counties of the Willamette valley, but like other counties It hold too long to the gralngiowing practice. Its lands have not advanced in value as rapidly as they should. But the change will soon be experienced. Those who purchase small tracts In Linn or other valley counties this yea will find that within the next five years their lands will double In value by reason of Increased population, In. creased value of. crops produced, Im proved transportation facilities and progressive policies In general. t OREGON'S OPPORTUNITY. Under the above caption the August number of School and Home has the following: One can not travel about the state at this time without being Impressed with the rapid development noticea ble on every hand. Each arriving train brings from the Mississippi val ley and the far east, home builder who are coming here to stay. The great resources of the state, Its prox imity to the Pacific ocean with Its untold commercial' opportunity, and the equable climate of the coast ac tion all appeal to. thinking people and thousands are coming here to make their permanent homes. The spirit of progress dominates all plans for present and future development. Transportation facilities only are needed to start a yet more rapid ware of advancement. What Is the character of thl new citizenship? It la of the very beat. Men of great energy and buslnesa re source; women cultured and refined these are our new citizens. Not from one state, but from every state In the Union, they are coming, bringing tbelr Ideas of what should constitute a state's best endeavor. Their various and valuable ldoaa modified by con tact with .those who have helped to shape the state's development In for. mer years should and will crystaliie Into a very high state of civilization. Here traditions that have lingered In 'one's native state may be left behind and only the best Ideas from each find room; here, too, our institutions, like our architecture, may be modeled after the best and latest patterns. In this rapid development all should share and all should help. The "tearer down" has no welcome, for where structures are to be erected we need builders, we need optimistic Ideas and we need constructive activity. ..Talk for your state, work for your state and a new Oregon will soon ap pear and you will take pride In calling this "home." - PONT BE BLUE. Tho' some clouds obscure your view, Tho' your guerdons be but few, Tho' the world may seem untrue, Don't be blue'!

Albert was a solemn-eyed, spiritual looking child. "Nurse," he said one day, leaving his blocks and laying his hand gently on her knee, "nurse. Is this God's day?" "No, dear." said the nurse, 'thls Is not Sunday. It Is Thursday." "I'm so sorry," he said sadly, and went back to his blocks. The next day and the next, in his serious manner, he asked the same question, and the. nurse tearfully said to the cook, "That child Is too good for this world." , On Sunday the question was repeat ed, and the nurse with a sob In her voice said, "Yes, Lambie. This Is God's day." "Then where Is the funny paper?" he damanded. Ground Waters of Texas. The United States geological sur vey has been for some time engaged In ground-water Investigations In that portion of the Texas costal plain which lies east of the Brazos river and south of a line passing1 through Jefferson, Marion county. Tex., and a report on this area Is now In prep aration by Mr. Alexander Deussen, of the survey. This report will In clude chapters on the surface features of the region, the relations of the rock formations, the water-bearing strata, and the general conditions af fecting the occurrence of underground water. The uses of deep-water wells and history of development, the oc currence and relation of salt water la the costal plain and the local condi tions In each county will be discussed. The details will be summarized in tables giving the location, depth and diameter of each well and spring, the names of owner and driller, the height of water above or below the surface and the geological horizon of ..the water-bearing stratum.
