WE 01 OUR Ml TO GREEN NO OTHER CX)LOIt SO SOOTHING TO NERVES Red CauHCit Irritation Rclonco Has Demonstrated Effect of Green on Uto Hunuin Haoo Thin U Why a Stay n tlto Country It Beneficial. If It were not for the subtle har monics and 'eoothdng Influences of green rays in tne light or the sun we would all become raving lunntlcs and would soon destroy each other and the human race would become extinct. Science declares this to be true. The light of the sun Is composed of rays of various colors, which, combined together, form light. The three primary colors are red, blue and green. The older Idea was that they were red, blue and yellow, but this was based on experiments with color pigments. Science has discovered that the red and violet, or actinic rays In sunlight, are exceedingly Irritating to the nerves of the retina of the eye. And It has discovered that green rays are soothing and restful. That Is why there Is more crime In summer than In winter. The hotter ; the sun's rays the more murders, fights, suicides and quarrels there are, because In summer the violet rays predominate In sunlight. Shut a man up In a room where he will see nothing but red, and no green at all, anil he will in time be come a lunatic, says science. The reason Is that the constant Irritation caused by the red rays will eventual ly be more than the mind can stand. First, the man will become nervous. red, blue and yellow. Pigment do give these results; for a mixture of blue and yellow pigment will give green, and a mixture of red and green pigment will not give yellow, while the reverse Is the fact with light. "Pigment simply reflects the light rays which fall upon It; that Is, pig ment has the power of absorbing, and so rendering Invisible, certain of the rays which, combined, make up the white light which Illumines them and of transmitting others to the eye by reflection. Wo see, that Is, our nerves of sight are Irritated by, those rays which are not absorbed, but which are reflected. The pigment Is named according to those ruys which It reflects." The red bricks of the city, then, are not red; they simply absorb all rays of the light fulling upon them except the red rays and the bricks reflect these. And they reflect these Irritating red rays tetter and with more fierceness In summer than In winter, hence the Increase of crime In summer. But, although we do not see them, there are green rays In all sunlight, and It Is the presence of these green rays that saves us from madness. HOW OYEIt BILL. was again made. Mr. Busch went to then his manner will become Irritable i Europe before the case was settled, Brewer Bnwh and Dwtnr Disagree. St. Louis, Sept. 8. A trifling little difference of $20,000 in a doctor's bill for professional services may pos sibly result In a lawsuit against Ado, phus Cusch, the millionaire brewer. The widow and the son-in-law of Dr. Robert Luedeklng. In settling that af fair of state, discovered that the doc tor had not sent Mr. Hunch a bill for several ycares prior to the former's death, so they sent Mr. Busch a bill! for 155.000. Mr. Busch thought that a little high, and offered $35,000 In settle ment. "Hils offer was declined, and the demand for the larger amount i and he will be cross and peevish and ' and now those lnteresed In Dr. Lued- flnally he will break down. But take this man from his room of red and Its Irritating Influence and put him In the country where everything he sees Is green and he!1"" OF DAXt'IXG EQUALS eklng's estate are wondering If the bill will be paid before they have to sue for It. will quickly recover because tile green rays will soothe and rest him. Everyone knows how beneficial a stay In the country Is to a man who haa broken down In the city. The majority of doctors think, when they prescribe for a patient a rest In the country, that the benefit Is to come from tho peace and quiet there. HALE OF MARATHON Berlin, Sept. 8. According to sta tistics compiled by a leading dancing teacher dancing is the hardest work In the world. He says It requires tense control of the muscles. In fact, he asserts that an evening of danc ing Is equal to walking all day. Here I But science now says that it comes ' are n'8 f'sures as they appear In the! partly from the green light rays that! Eerllnger Tageblatt everywhere greet the ye. If the grass and foliage were red Instead of green we would all be lu nntlcs, says sclnce. The reason why so many city per sons break down, and tho reason there are more crimes of violence In the city than there are In the coun try In proportion to the population Is because In the city there Is a pre ponderance of red rays reflected from the red brick houses and pavements and the eye constantly encountering these Is constantly Irritated until at last the whole nervous system Is shat tered by It. Experiments have been made to sho-v the Influence of the violet and red rays of the sun upon animals and Insects. In London a scientist shut some ants In a box and put a pris matic glass over It so that the ravs or tne sun passing tnrougt It were broken up and only the ultar violet 'and red rays entered the box. The ants Immediately began to scamper to get out of the rays. They would huddle In a corner where there was green or blue, but as soon as the red rnys were thrown there they would scamper away. It was the same with guinea pigs and mice. They tried to escape from the Irrltnting In fluence of the red rays. These are tho rays which cause sunstroke and heat. It has been demonstrated that these rnys will pierce the skull and that they have an Irritating Influence on the brain. Tho effect of red and violet rays upon animals Is again demonstrated In the madness of bulls when con fronted with a muss of that color. To scientists color Is simply the Ir ritation of the nerves of the eye by the waves of light. Different wave lengths gtvo different color sensa tions. Daniel Burleigh Parkhurst, lectur er on art In Dickinson college, says In his work, "The Painter In Oils:" "It Is the generally accepted theory now that there are three primary sensations; that Is, that the eye Is sensitive to three kinds of color, and that all other shades and varieties of color are the results of mingling or overlapping of the waves which pro duce those three colors and Irritat ing more or less tho nerves sensitive to each color simultaneously. "These three primary colors are now stated to be red, blue and green. The older Idea was that they were An ordinary walta causes a dancer I to cover 1200 meters. A quadrille with Its four turns causes each of j those engaged In It to travel two kilo- meters. In a mazurka the dancer I covers a distance of 20 kilometers, or 12.5 miles. "No wonder, then," he adds, "that when LI Hung Chang saw people In England dance and perspire he ob served: " 'If It Is such hard work, why do they not order their servants to do It for them?'" Texas Boosters Meet. Fort Worth, Tex., Sept. 0 Town boomers from all over Texas, with a considerable contingent from sur rounding states, met this morning In the annual convention of the Texas Secretaries' association. Three hun dred commercial clubs are represent ed at the session, which will be one of the most Important of Its kind ever held in the southwest. Terhaps no other state of the union Is so extensively nnd persist ently advertised as Texas, and a dis cussion of publicity projects for spreading the fame of the Lone Star state and Its municipalities through out the world will be an Important feature of the three-day conference. Other matters slated for considera tion Include the science of city build ing, the duties of commercial secre taries, good roads, county fairs, ru ral relations, public parks, railroad construction and Immigration. To Open Rosebud TainIs. Washington, Sept. 9. Arrange ments have been completed for tho opening on October lit of the lands In the Rosebud 'Indian reservation, In the southern part of South Dakota. It is expected that over 100,000 per sons will register. War veterans will be allowed to register through an agent, but applications from others will be required to be sworn to In one of several specified towns. Drainage, Conveinlon. Newborn, N. C, Sept. 9. Hecla matlon of state swamp lands In the' eastern part of North Carolina Is under consideration at a drainage convention opened here today under the auspices of the state geological board. All t"he news all ! the time In the East Oregonlan, t m mm nn i uuu J vi u Li U LnJ J On April 1, 1908, we placed on the market for sale about 7000 acres of dry wheat land and 5000 acres of irrigated land,' at prices ranging from $S to $150 per acre, and notwithstanding a partially strained fi nancial condition, resultant from the recent panic, we are happy to report that we have sold 1200 acres of the irrigated land and 4000 acres of the dry wheat land. J Of the land sold over 720 acres are under cultivation, and this Fall will mark the liveliest season for development in the Eastern end of the County, when 500 additional acres will be cleared and planted. q This is the result of our first five months' effort, and, with the addi tional improvement this Fall, it does not require much imagination to calculate the effect of this development on the value of the land. The majority of the sales have been in five and ten acre tracts, which assures an intensely farmed country as well as a rapid progress. J It is IMPORTANT that you keep in touch with this condition and bear in mind that every acre improved is a stepping stone to enhance values. The wisdom of this investment at this time, WHEN PRICES ARE LOW, is proved by the experience in Yakima, Kennewick and Wenatchee, where undeveloped land today cannot be bought for three and four times more than what we are now asking. I During the Summer the Furnish Ditch Co. has been working on the reconstruction of the ditch under the personal supervision of Mr. Marble, of Yakima, the work on which will be entirely completed within three weeks, when we will have, without question, as good a ditch as -can be found anywhere. No money has been spared to make the work absolutely perfect. . J As an investment, purely on the basis of a land proposition, the Furnish-Coe lands should double in value within one year. This in crease will not be artificially brought about, as we are not creating market prices, but will be solely dependent upon the development and improvement of the country. For the purpose of insuring this progress we will improve and farm the land of any purchaser at cost, plus 5 per cent, for supervision. My time is at your disposal. Columbia Land Company D. B.
