FULFILMENT.
Xo, no, the falling blossoms Is
no sign
Of loveliness destroyed and
sorrow mute;
The blossom sheds its loveliness
divine;
Its mission is to prophesy the
fruit.
Xor Is the day of love forever
dead.
When young enchantment
and romance are gone;
The veil is drawn, but all the
future dread
Is lightened by the finger of
the dawn.
Love moves with life along a
darker way,
They cast a shadow and they
call it death;
But rich is the fulfilment of
their day;
The purer passion and the
firmer faith.
George Meredith.
PROTECT THE SETTLERS.
It will be too bad If the glory of the
Furnish irrigation project is in any
way clouded by the litigation that is
now on between W J. Furnish and
his associates of the Inland irrigation
company and Dr. II. W. Coe, head of
the colonization company.
The Furnish project is a great en
terprise and for a time it looked like
It would be the one private irrigation
project In eastern Oregon to go
through without trouble. The land
under the project Is good land and
well adapted to irrigation. With the
completion of the reservoir at Horse
shoe curve the problem of the water
supply seems to be fully solved.
At this time most of the land under
the project has been sold and a con
siderable body is under cultivation.
Within a few years It is going to be
highly productive land and will sus
tain a large population. Needless to
say the fertility of the land under the
project will not be affected by the
litigation that Is on.
It is also satisfactory to note that
the suit Just filed secm3 to represent
a. controversy purely between Messrs.
Furnish and Coe and does not particu
larly affect settlers ujon the project.
.Still their test interests will be served
by a -speedy settlement of the disputes
that are on. It is incumbent upon
both sides to the controversy to see
that settlers do not suffer losses.
Those who know W.' J. Furnish and
his record as a business man of this
city will grant that he will do his ut
most to "s'jve harmless" the people
who have invested in the project that
bears his name. Doubtless Dr. Coe
will do the same for it was through
r.W work that the project was colo
nized. wixtkh shout ronjsK.
"I -n't waste your own good years
trying to solve problems that other
men have alrtaJy solve'." This is the
slogan of those who are backing the
farmers' short course that will soon
be given at the state agricultural col
lege at Corvailis. The courses begin
January 3 and last for a period of
six weeks. The courses are open to
all people over 16 years of age; no
tuition Is charged nor are there any
entrance examinations. The short
courses have been a big feature of
the work at O. A. C. for many years.
They are Intended to give needed In
struction to practical farmers. Last
year 600 people took advantage of
the Instruction offered and this year
accommodations are provided for
double that number. Here Is a fine
opportunity for farmers to obtain val
uable Information. The courses are
especially valuable to those who en
gage in intensified farming or In hor
ticulture. SUPERVISION NEEDED.
"If supervision over the city teach
rs Is good then supervision over
country teachers is better," said State
Superintendent i. H. Ackerman In
addressing the school directors of this
county nt a meeting at the court
house Saturday. This Is an Intima
tion that at the present time there Is
inadequate supervision of the country
schools. It was a timely remark for
it Is notorious that country schools
are not closely supervised.
It Is also pretty clear to well In
formed people that we cannot have
much supervision of county schools
iindor the system now followed. In
Oregon county school superintendents
are offioemen rather than school su
perintendents. They do not employ
the teachers In the various districts.
nor can thov discharge tnem It tney
find them Incompetent. They do well
if they visit each school once a year.
Would it not work an improvement
to have the clerical work of the county
superintendent done by a clerk and to
have the county superintendent made
a superintendent in fact as well as in
name?
THE "PEXPLETOX PLAN."
The saloon ordinance Just adopted
by the Pendleton council Is receiving
praise abroad. Commenting upon
the "Pendleton plan" of saloon regu
lation the Oregon Journal says:
"A new ordinance in Pendleton Is
rigorous in its regulation of saloons,
It fixes the license at $1200 a yenr
and prohibits the use of all blinds or
screens. There can be but a single
room, and there must be no loiter
ing. Many rigid restrictions of sim
ilar character seem to give assurance
that the saloon business In Pendle
ton will closely approximate the mod
ern idea of saloon regulation.
"By contrast, the Pendleton plan
evidences the transformation that Is
going on in the liquor traffic. It is
useless' to claim that the widespread
agitation of local option and prohl
bitlon has not been effective. The
proof that it has been an agitation
with definite results is seen in the
ccntrast between the future Pendle
ton saloon and the dives and dead
falls that used to be familiar sights
in all towns and cities."
It might be added that it Is also a
part of the "Pendleton plan" that the
oidinance shall be enforced.
KEEP IT NEAR HOME.
Naturally there is something thrill
ing in the thought that the stars and
stripes wave above the heads of over
100,000,000 people. But the flag of
this republic will wave more peace
fully and securely if it is not taken
too far away from home. There are
many people who would like It
better had Old Glory never been
hoisted to the breezes farther west
than Hawaii. Where the flag Is once
raised there we must defend it and
the experience of Russia shows It Is
b hard matter for a white power to go
into the orient and wage successful
war with the people who live there.
Perhaps there will never, be any ne
cessity for the United States to wage
another war In the far east. Yet
there may be.
Br. II. W. Coe is sueing W. J. Fur
nish for $1,400,000. When he files an
answer to the complaint surely Mr.
Furnish will thank the doctor for the
compliment.
During the past ten years Wash
ington gained 623,000 new people.
That is nearly as many as Oregon has
a: this time. Why is this?
Seattle people made money on their
exposition. That is what many visi
ters thought at the time.
Saloonmen who want licenses un
der the new ordinance should "look
before they leap."
Shop early and get what you want.

LITERARY NOTE.
The War Department has informed
Maor II. H. Sargent who is now sta
tioned In the Philippines that his
three standard military works, "Na
poleon Bonaparte's FlrA Campaign,"
"The Campaign of Marengo," "The
Campaign of Santiago do Cuba" will
hereafter be Included in the list of
books available for issue or sale to
the organized militia on requisition
being made for them and that they
are being Included In War Depart
ment circulars containing lists of
books thus recognized and used. The
books here referred to, which are
published by A. C. McClurg & Co.,
have for some time been regarded as
standard and the one dealing with
the Cuban campaign Is not only recog
nized as a remarkably well written
piece of work, but has taken Its place
as the one definitive history and text
book of the campaign.
IMPORTANT NOTE.
Troy and Margaret West Kinney the
well known New York artists, will
spend the winter In Spain, partly for
pleasure and recreation, partly to
study, and partly to execute an Im
portant commission placed In their
hands by Messrs. A. C. McClure A
Co. They are to make a series of
paintings for Messrs. McClurg to Il
lustrate the translation of Senor VI
cente Blasco Ibanez's- great story of
bull-flghtlng, Sangre y Arena," which
will be brought out next falL Mr.
and Mrs. Kinney are to make a study
of the scenes depleted, and it is safe
to say that the pictures will be one
of the artistic events of next Tars
publishing season. The story haa
been 'put Into English by Mrs. Charles
Frances Lummls, who ranks very
high as a translator from the Spanish,
and her rendering will hnve the ap
proval of, Senor Ihnnes himself. The
book will bo brought out under the
title of "Blood of the Arena."
POLITICS AM) POLITICIANS.
Washington rumor has It that his
hyskians have ordered "Undo Joe"
Cannon to lot up on the number of the
famous black cigars which he smokes
daily. Undo Joe is reported to havo
casually remarked that he has won
out in bigger buttles than u fight
igalnst cigars, and he expects to con
sume his customary number or the
fragrant weed.
The most important recommenda
tions in President Taft's annual mes
sage relate to the tariff, the Panama
canal, a federal incorporation law to
make more effective the corporation
tux law, a ship subsidy bill, reciprocity
with Canada and some effective form
of government for Alaska. -
Ex-United States Senator William
E. Chandler of New Hampshire, has
a pet sayinjr to the etiect that the
least important man in the world is
the man who has voted on election
day.
Uncle Shelby S. Cullom, senior Sen
ator from Illinois, is one of the old
guards of the upper house. He has
Just celebrated his eighty-first birth
day and has been In the senate with
out a break since 18S3. His term ex
pires in 1913.
New York democrats declare that
Colonel Roosevelt has a following
which will have to be reckoned with
In the republican national convention
ot 1912. Before that time rolls round
the Colonel, they say, will essay to
overtures to the Taft administration
or will endeavor to become hand in
glove with the wing of the republican
party led by LaFollette, Cummins,
Bristow and Stubbs. In other words,
according to the democratic theory,
Colonel Roosevelt and his followers
will go to the highest bidder.
In Rhode Island the fight for Sen
ator Aldrich's seat is going to be live
ly. Henry F. Llppltt, a prominent
mill man and republican has announc
ed his candidacy, while the young men
of the state are for Judge LaBaron
C. Colt, who has a wide reputation as.
a jurist and nn orator,
Henry A. Wise, United States Dist
rict Attorney, who is trying to have
the sugar trust dissolved, is planning
on a two-year fight before this fa
mous case is ended. Mr. Wise is cred
ited with having an ambition to rise
higher in the government service, with
a particular preference for an Assist
ant Attorney Generalship.
Governor-elect Woodrow Wilson of
New Jersey has already donned the
togs of a leader he hates the term
"boss." Getting down to the heart of
the situation In the democratic party,
he" found that the "machine's" candi
date was as much of a boss as the
most rabid old guard republican. Im
mediately he served notice that new
blood must be infused or there would
be 'nothing doing."
THAT AWFVL STOIIY.
Yes, it must have been a corker
In the Neolithic era
When some primitive New Yorker
Said: "Say, howdja like to hear a
Funny story It's the latest?
And he'd start, and they'd look
pleasant
(Though the female and the straight
Laced male persons were not pres

'Twas an aged tale, this hummer
(Though the teller always wort

It befell himself that summer
Nonsense! Faked up years before

In old Karnac (see description)
It was still retailed with laughter

In Its after-dinner glory.

Messrs. A. C. McClurg & Co. have
under way for publication in the fall
of 1911, what promises to be one of
the most Important fiction enterprises
of the year. This is a translation by
Frances Douglas (Mrs.. Charles F.
Lummls). of Senor Vinente Blasco
Ibanez'tsgreat story of bull fighting,
"Sangre y Arena." Senor Ibanez
ranks very hinh among the novelists
of Spain and his story is a vivid and
realistic picture of Spanish life, and
especially of the national pastime,
which has probably never been ex
celled In literature. Mrs. Lummls Is
an accomplished Spanish scholar and
her English rendering will havo the
approval of Senor Ibanez himself.
The book will be brought out under
the title of "The Blood of the Aeni,"
and will be Illustrated In full color by
Troy and Margaret West Kinney who
are spending the winter In Spain part
ly to execute this Important commis
sion. If you want

At the ranges at which they had
been fought earlier In the day the
shell would follow the flash so quick
ly that one scarcely had time to move,
but now at twelve hundred yards one
could dive to cover if he lost no time.
Immediately after sighting Cayo
Hueso I had been climbing part-way
up on the parapet to the windward of
the smoke to observe the effects of
my own shots Whenever in this po
sition I saw the flash of the enemy's
gun I would yell "Down!" and would
drop Into one of the short ditches
with the others. Finally I took a fool
ish notion that this getting down with
such haste looked undignified, and
that I would do no more of it. So
when the next flash came I gave the
warning cry and stood my ground. A
couple of seconds later I was literally
hurled backward through the-air for
fifteen or twenty fet, landing on my
hend and shoulders and being half
burled under earth and poles and at
almost the same Instant heard the ex
plosion of the shell. I heard Menocal
cry out, "My God, ho Is cut In two!"
and a second or so later was half
drowned under a deluge of filthy wa
ter. Colonel Garcia had picked up a
bucket containing the water in which
the sponge used In swabbing out one
of the guns from time to time had
been dipped, and had pououl it over
me. About a year ago I Inquired of
him as to the object of this well
meant attention and was informed
that it had been the only thing handv
and that water Is always good for
people. This having been the color
and consistency of printer's Ink, I cer
talnly was not a very Inspiring ob
ject when helped to my feet, and was
not fit to appear In polite society
without a change or raiment and a
bath. The shell had pierced the para
pet about two feet from mo and had
burst some twenty feet beyond. Hut
my revenge was coming, and In about
two shots more the offending gun was
dismounted and the enemy left with
out artillery. From "A Defeat and a
Victory." by Gen. Frederick Funston,

ner. LITERARY NOTE.
The West, with Its history, romance
and heroism, Is developing Its own
writers and chroniclers, and of these
none display greater promise than
Joseph Mills Hanson. His first work
appeared about one year ago "The
Conquest of the Missouri." devoted to
the development anil settlement of the
Whites of the vast territory known as
'he Missouri River Valley. The lung
and deadly controversy between the
Whites and Indians Is graphically de
scribed, and It may be said that Mr.
Hanson's narrative of the Custer
massacre Is the best that 1ms yet boen
written. This fall Mr. Hanson has

thusiasm for his subject which makes
his book thoroughly readable
WHICH?
We have, then, three great forces
in the republican situation,' Roosevelt,
La Follette and Taft.
All summer President Taft has been
engaged In an attempt to hnrmonlzc
the progressive wing with the stand
patters. He had sent Senator Crane,
of Massachusetts, westward to effect
such harmonization; he had dispatch
ed his private secretary, Charles Nor
ton, on the lame mission. But the
conflict was as irrepressible as that
which brought on the civil war; the
progressives had for the time parted
company with the standpatters; and
within the republican party was be
ing fought a war which must inevit
ably result in the elimination of one
ff Its elements.
Either the progressives or the reg
ulars must dominate in the National
convention of 1912. There could be
no compromise. The movement for
popular government, In which Oregon
anil Wisconsin hud led the way, had
gained the necessary momentum that
some medium hnd to bo developed to
carry that movement to lis full fru
ition. If the progressives won con
trol of the republican party, probably
that party would be entrusted by the
American people with the task of
governing the country, for tho ensu
ing period. If the standpatters pro
cured the ascendancy, then tho forces
which have been generated for the
cause of popular government would
turn elsewhere. Nor the waning of
tho popularity of nny man could stop
It. It had gono beyond tho personal,
te the fundamental, beyond the hang
ing on the ' political fortunes of one
or more men, to the certainty of suc
cess with the people In tho saddle.
