Like to the falling of a star,
Or as the flights of eagles are,
Or life the fresh spring's gaudy
hue
Or silver drops of morning dew.
Or like the wind that chafes the
flood,
Or bubbles which on water
stood
E'en such is man, whose bor
rowed light
Is straight called in and paid
tonight.
The wind blows out. the bubble
dies.
The spring entombed in autumn
lies,
The dew's dried up, the star is
shot,
The flight is past, and man's
forgot.

DUTY ON GRAIN HAGS.
In the United States senate on June
26 Senator Jones of Washington made
an effort to have grain bags placed
upon the free list. Of course he was
unsuccessful, for the men who are
changing the tariff are not revising
il for the benefit of the consumers.
But the discussion which aro.e over
the Washington senator's effort in be
half of the farmers of the inland em
pire makes interesting reading.
In the past the duty upon products
from Jute yarns was five-eighths of a
cent per pound. In the senate the
other day Senator Aldrich reduced the
tax to one half a cent per pounl.
Senator Jones moved to exempt stand
ard Calcutta grain bags from duty.
He then explained regarding the
method of disposing of the wheat crop
of eastern Oregon and Washington,
stating that it is necessary to ship th
wheat In bags; that practically no
grain bags are made upon the coast
and that it Is necessary to Import
some 25.000.000 or 30,000.000 bags
annually from Calcutta. He showed
that as grain bags are used only upon
the Pacific coast the tariff on bags
constitutes a local tax. Furthermore
since the wheat Is mostly exported the
tariff is In reality an export rather
than an Import tax.
In support of the move for free
grain bags Senator Tillman of eoutn
Carolina joined with Senator Jones.
He called attention to the fact that bo
the south some 4,000,000 tons of fer
tilizer is used annually. This ferti
lizer has to be sacked In order to reach
the farmers and it takes 10 sacks to
the ton. So the south uses annually
40,000,000 burlap bags for this pur
pose. As the sulfuric acid in the fer
tilizer rots the sacks they may be used
but once.
But the plea in behalf of the farm
ers fell upon deaf ears. Senator Al
drich insisted he could not stand for
placing the grain bags upon the free
list since some grain bags are made
In America, and lined his minions up
with the following, "Of course It is ab
solutely impossible from my stand
point that any protectionist shoula
vote to put these articles upon the
free list." It was with difficulty that
Senator Jones secured a yea and nay
vote and then the result stood 33 to
26 against the placing of grain bags
upon the free list.
Thus it happened that the farmers
o' the west and the south were less
influential with the United States cen.
ate than were the few concerns that
manufacture grain bags in the United
States and therefore stand to profit
by a continuance of the duty on grain
bags.
almost CONQUERED.
if the helicoptre has proven a suc
cess, as is claimed, then the problem
of aerial navigation has about been
sr.lved. The helicoptre Is an air trav
oiler that lifts itself off the earth by
dynamic power. The machine ha
been devised by a couple of men liv
ing near Washington, D. C and when
they made their first trial trip last
week the helicoptre sailed into the
air, receiving no impetus save that
from its own propeller.
The aeroplane, devised by the
Wright brothers, must pa launched in
to the air at considerable speed be
fore It can sustain itself. Before ris
ing Into the air the aeroplane must
run for some distance along an en
cline In order to get up speed. Con
soquently aeroplanes, as now made
may ascend only from aeroplane
sheds.
For successful aerial navigation It
may readily be seen that a machine
must be devised that will be able to
rise by Its own power alone so that it
may ascend from any manner or
place. It is inevitable that In cruis
ing through the air the airship of the
future will have to descend to the
earth at random points. So it is high
ly necessary to have a machine that
may rise at will. It Is also necessary
to have a machine that may sustain
Itself in the air without forward or
backward motion. This the aeroplane
cannot do as yet.
If the helicoptre proves the success
that is hoped for It we will then have
a machine that may sail to moun
tain tops, alight and then soar away
again; may be carried aboard ships
and used for countless other purposes.
If the inentors of the helicoptre,
whose names by the way are scarcely
mentioned, can but perfect their ma
chine so that it may be put to practical
use they will come into fame equal
li If not greater than that which now
surrounds the Wright brothers.
RECLAIM nils LAND.
It is Interesting and encouraging to
know that the government is busy
on work looking to the reclamation ot
more land in this county. It is true
the work now being done is of a pre
liminary nature and it may be years
before another project Is undertaken
in the west end of the county.
But that the reclamation service will
eventually undertake another project
in this section can scarcely be doubt
ed. In the west end of this county
and in the northeastern part of Mor
row there lies about 200,000 acres ot
desert land. All of this land may be
made into beautiful and fertile farms
If It can but be watered.
The land spoken of lies at such an
elevation that It may be watered from
the Umatilla river. Furthermore there
is enough water in the Umatilla to re.
claim at least 100,000 additional acres
provided storage reservoirs are used.
According to the government reports:
the flow of the river at Yoakum am
ounts to 602,0011 acre feet per annum.
At Umatilla the annual discharge am
ounts to 303,000 acre feet. It takes
from three to four acde feet of stored
water to reclaim an acre of desert.
So it is to been seen that the flow of
the river Is sufficient to reclaim be
tween 150,000 and 200,000 acres of
arid land. At this time the combined
projects of the west end embrace a
total of only about 50,000 acres. In
other words as a reclamation stream
the Umatilla is now being used to but
one third of its capacity.
With the water flowing down the
river and with the thirsty land along
side the stream It is Inevitable that
further irrigation projects will be un
dertaken In this county. Seemingly
the greatest problem now is that per
taining to reservoir sites. May the
reclamation men easily solve this
problem as well as all others and soon
proceed with the reclamation of land
west of the Umatilla.
The Indians camped at Cayuse af
forded some good entertainment al-
though the "stage management" Is
poor.
The rain cooled the atmosphere,
settled the dust and helped the spring
grain. Nature was very kind.
The reclamation service has done
well with one project in this county.
May they now try another.

As a Start.
The proud confectioner had opened
his new shop and was putting a few
finishing touches to his stock.
The center of attraction in his win
dow was an immense sugar tiger,
and, that it might look as realistic
as possible, a pair of brilliant glass
eyes had been Inserted.
A crowd of children assembled out
side, and when everything was ar
ranged to the confectioner's satisfac
tion, he stood gazing in admiration at
his grand display. He did not notrce
the entry of a small boy until a smart
rap on the counter announced that
his first customer had arrived.
"Cent's worth '' tiger piece with
the eye In!" demanded the youngster.

THE KOCK-A-RY LADY.
The rock-a-by Lady from Httlhah)
street
Comes stealing; comes creeping:
The poppies they hang their heart
to their feet
And envch hath a dream that la tiny
and fleet
She brlngeth her popples to you, nvy
sweet.
When she flndeth you sleeping!
There Is one little dream of a beau
tiful drum
"Hub-a-dub!" It gooth;
There is one little dream of a big
sugar plum,
And so, thick and fast the other
dreams come.
Of pop-gdns that bang, and tin tops
that hum.
And a trumpet that bloeth!
And dollies peep out of these wee
little dreams
Willi laughter and singing;
And boats go a-floating on silvery
Streams
And the stars peek-a-boo with their
own misty gleams,
And up. up and up, where the Mother
Moon beams
The fairies go winging.
Would you dream all these dreams
that are tiny and fleet,
Theyll come to you sleeping;
So shut the two eyes that are weary.
my sweet,
For the Rock-a-by lady from Hush
aby street,
With poppies that hang from her
head to her feet,
Comes stealing; comes creeping.

ELECTRIC SPARKS.
The largest electric transmission
line In the world Is that of the Niagara-Syracuse-Auburn
line which
tiansmits 30,000 horsepower a dis
tance of 163 miles. The Colgate
plant, Yuba River, Cal., connects via
Oakland and Mission San Jose to a
line 222 miles In length.. This plant
has a capacity of 11,250 kilowatts
and there are over 100 sub-stations
on 1375 miles of circuit on the sys
tem. Some of the electric light and pow
er companies at Minnesota rent
vacuum cleaners to their customers
for a nominal sum each day.
Electric apparatus is used in Ger
many for producing hydrogen and
oxygen for brazing and weld.ng with
an ozyhydrogen blow pipe.

Snow slides, blizzards and rock

wireless systems will be substituted
where these troubles prevail.
A measure has been passed by the
Connecticut legislature providing for
the compulsory extension of tele
