I'ONOR SAXTON'S MEMORY.
Here is a corr.rnunication that has
Just b-en retel-.ed by the East Ore
pr.nlan and it contains a suggestion
that is timely:
Editor East Oregonian:
Why not strirt a movement through
" ;
on the towe.- .r ere,-, a monument
ainewl'.ere or. the dam of the Cold
Fprlng reservoir in honor of Saxton !
and his discovery of the site. Saxton
fiJul a splendid mind and a, spirit of
purpose and the sacrifice he made is
well worth th.s 'rlbu'e to his memory.
Very truly,
E. P. DODD.
Hur!y it would be only right and
fitting to honor the memory of the
dead e: zir.eer in some way. He ren
dered good and valuable service to the
people ui tj,js county and especially
those of the west end section. In
frratitule something should be done
tc show appreciation of that work
and ai.-io the esteem In which Saxton
V3H held by all who knew him.
This paper suggests that a com
mittee composed of Herrniston and
Pendleton friends of the reclamation
engineer take this matter up at once
with a view to having a tablet or a
monument erected at the reservoir. If
sii-h a committee will secure esti
mates as to the cost of such an un
dertaking and obtsln the necessary
Cf -fiperation of the government, sure
ly th money will be forthcoming for
tM;i worthy purpose.

The following paragraph from a

man gets the true perspective
f his life until he gets away from
his u-'ia; routine, and gets a new,
fr-:h viewpoint from outside.
"No great artist will artempt to
work constantly on his masterpiece
i;n'll It Is finished. He works while

frin to dim or his energies to lag, he
qiiitit. because he knows that every
Mt o work he does while his thought
Is not fresh and vigorous will be In
ferior and will only Injur his pic
ture. "A great many men bury themselves
sr completely In their work, Veep their

thy can not get the proper perspec
tive of their situations. They work
hard, but they work to a disadvan
tage because they do not aee their

SAGAMORE HILL.
Time was when the newspapers be
hoved they were indulging in good
humored fun if they referred to Saga
more Hill as in any way a notable
spot in the United States. Yet there is
no question but today 'it is at least as
well known as Monticello, Hawarden,
or Karisruhe. Within the last nine
year" the owner of Sagamore Hill has
become the greatest figure of the
present generation and perhaps one
of the greatest in history. It is no
wonder, therefore, that the public
manifests an interest in the little es
tate at Oyster. Bay, In its owner, and
in the daily life he leads there. And
truly, the life which Theodore Roose
velt leads upon his hill Is In itself so
absolutely wholesome and so typical!-,-American

doctrine of prior appropriation should
govern. The investor should there

being made to pirate the rights of

It goes without saying that the In
vestor shoved satisfy himself as to the
character and value of the land to be
irrigated. This will Involve consid
erations of location, transportation
facilities and nearness to markets.
The average business man will appre
ciate the impprtance of these and
should be able to form a reasonable
judgment thereon. Other considera
t'ons, such as character and depth of
soil, subsoil, topography and probable
productiveness, are matters on which
expert advice should be obtained. The
ffect of elevation, vicinity to cold

ALWAYS TALKING OF TIIE HEAT
Hear the folks In house and street
Always talking of the heat.
With a humid sort of humor as they
part or as they meet.
How they talk. talk, talk.
As they sit or as they walk.
Of mosquitoes, and of breezes that the
sun's attacks could balk;
How they weep -Over
sleep
That won't come to them at night.
How the girls
Fret of curls
That will never twist aright!
See the men rotundly fat.
Each with a cabbage lear In hat.
And with gaping shirt and vest 1
Wishing they were more undressed!
And the women, slim and plump,
Sitting down with angry bump.
Vowing that they know they'll die,
While they fan, and fuss, and sigh
Of the heat, heat heat, heat, heat,
heat!

Tell you How to Keep Cool;

Xor to drink the fr'gid liquids that are

X'r to walk whiTo it is sunny.
Not to think about our money.

Hush! They're tiring and perspiring
While these things they are requiring.
And the people that they blame
Are repining just the same
And would fain stab through and
through
Him who comes and murmurs: "Oohl
Is this hot enough for you?"
Oh. the people that you meet
Standing with reluctant feet
Where the shade and sunshine meet
While they grumble and repeat
"Darn the heat, heat, heat, heat,
Heat, heat, heat!"
