J VST MEDICM.
I never loved
ambitiously to
climb.
Or thrust my hand too far into
the fire.
To be in heaven sure is a bless-
ed thing
But, At!as-likc,' to prop heaven
on one's back
Cannot but be more labor than
delight
. . . , . -
.-uch is the state of men in hon-
or placed,
They are gold vessels made for
servile uses;
High trees that keep the weather
from low houses.
But cannot shield the tempest
from themselves.
I love to dwell betwixt the hills
and dales.
Neither to be so great as to
be envied,
Xur yet so poor the world
should pity me.

Mil. XEWF.LL'S CRITICISMS.
U N 0 N ' i. A B E u
I partment were I65S.20; under the new
Director Newell of the reclamation j fl.rm 1230 6S an average monthly
service has made some very sharp gain of g9 per cent In the collection
remarks regarding inflated. land val-' f interest anJ royaUle8 . there to

for settlers on the meadows to say

government; snouia pay nai n

ervoir purposes. it uuuiu aisu ue
natural for those who have been sell
ing the project lands to reply to Mr.
Xewell that they have sold the land
for the highest prices they could ob
tain as business men usually do
ivren they have anything to sell.
It .s unquestionably true, as the di
rector says, that settlers on the pro
ject would have fared better had
they bought their land at lower
prices. Eut it Is not necessarily true
that the prices charged for land have
retarutd tne development oi ine pro
ject. It may be that the profits the
colonizers have made have caused
them to work with energy and settle
the project more speedily than it
would have been settled otherwise. It
i3 significant that high priced' land
has been sold when land Just as good
but held at lowef- figures has gone
untaken.
There are also a great many people
who will swear thnt the director un
derestimates the value of the project
land v.i.en he decrieg present prices.
It has 1'i.g been the claim of Her
niistor.iaris that land in that vicinity
is a better buy for homesteaders than
lb land under many of the private
proje.ts jn eastern Washington, east
ern Or. g ..n and southern Idaho. The
J.-r.d under the Umatilla project is
splendidly located with reference to
trari.-portat.ion, the altitude is right,
the temperature is favorable, the
character of the soil is goodand there
U an anile supply of water. These
very fac's have been mentioned be
fore by engineers of the reclamation
service. The chief engineer, or some
other high official, has long been
fju t-1 as having said that the pro
ject, i i its bize, is the finest the gov
ernment has undertaken. Such state
ments at- that have had much to do
with the good prices at which the
Umatilla project land has been sell
ing. . So t may be the 'Speculators"
are not the only people at fault.
Just why the director takes up this
subject now 13 not entirely clear. The
bulk of the land under the Umatilla
ptoject has been sold already. If the
g(vernment had a warning to Issue !t
might well be asked why It was not
given sooner? Why did the offi-
cialg Fit by while the project was be
ing colonized and then say In sub
stance to the purchasers, "You have
been soaked."
It is also of interest to note that Di
rector Newell has given words of en-
pany that Is out to develop power on
,riV tuu fiuiuii n U , uvw
the Columbia river, for irrigation pur-
Vs. Does he believe that company
i w ill refrain from "inflating" land val-
(ues. Just watch the Rimrock com
.pany. That concern will sell its lands
at the highest price obtainable just
!;is other people have been doing. It
the way the land business has been
conducted ever since private owner-

i'UOl lT IN COMMISSION RULE.
With the commission form of gov-
eminent in operation in Rartlesville,
K'Slahoma, for the last ten months,
lne llt.v administration have issued a
statement from the official records
showing the savings made since the
Id councilmanic form was abandon
ed, says the Walla Walla Bulletin.
I the record of the commission for the
nine months ending June 30, 1911,
also the record of the old form for the
nine months prior to the installation
of the new form.
Under the new form four facts
stand out pre-eminently:
The city for the first time has been
placed on a cash basis and city war
rants are paid on presentation at their
'face value.
: More public improvements are un-
, , . .
! way a contracted for than at
an-v previous time.
The police department, instead of
. i,t.ing ln debt at the end of each
I
month, now is seh'-sustaining, and In
' addition has enough money left to
Jpay half the expenses of maintaining
the fire department. The force is
about the same in number as under
the old form.
The monthly saving to taxpayers un
der the new system is shown to aver
age $512.92.
For nine months under the old
form of government the average
monthly' license fees collected were
S64.56; under the new, $152.63 an
average monthly gain of 136 per cent.
Under the former government the av

erating department, which Includes

monthly average $2,004.45 for the
old form, $3,420.37, a saving to the
taxpayers of $515.92 each month.
Is it any wonder that people take
to commission government?
AT COFFEYYiiiLE.
Coffeyville, Kansas, the hotbed of
insurgency where President Taft re
cently met the progressives face to
face and was treated corteously but
given no encore, has the commission
term of government. Coffeyville 13
a city of 12,687 people and it adopted
the commission plan on April 7, 1911.
In the first five months of the new
form the tax levy was reduced from
87 cents to 83 cents despite the fact
that the new levy included several
new items.
Writing of the results under the
commission form the mayor of Cof
feyville says: "I served as mayor
under the old system. There is no
one in the city that would go back
to It. In my opinion it is far ahead
of the old "
That is pretty concise language and
it tends to show that the commission
plan of government is a good thing
for a small city as well as for a large
city.
Germany and France have been
talking of war for weeks yet they
have not fired a single shot while
here comes Italy and Turkey with
scarcely a word and begin to fight.
It all shows that the Burgomaster was
right when he said he was not afraid
of Indians who wanted to kill him
and began by talking about It.
If that strike occurs the suffering
public may decide that they have
stood such affairs about long enough.
A big strike would be a powerful ar
gument for government management
cf the railroads.
Now for some hot news from Afrl-
liLISSKl'Li IGXOKAXCE.
Holden, the New Yok "bird man,"
lately had In his shop a taciturn par
rot. Day after day It sat silent on ;ts
perch, indifferent to every question.
At last a Cuban lady came Into the
shop and spoke to it In her native
tongue. The parrot brightened up
at once, opened Its beak and emitted
a jubilant volley of vehement Span
ish words. When the parrot finally
ceased speaking, the lady turned to
Mr. Holden and, blushing violently,
asked:
"Do you understand Spanish "
"No." he replied.
, "Thank heaven!" she replied, and
left the shop. Success.

CALL OF THE COOK.

her: "Can you cook?" j

"I know my little book."
And since that time she's fed me on!

With Sweden, Spain and' India thrown
in when there's a chance. '
I've breakfasted on waffles with jam
and mayonnaise,
For lunch I've seen spaghetti cooked !

And when I'm ca'led to dinner quite;
often there will be

But if I should confess It my wife
would call me "crude."
So all my meats are stuffed and brals-1
ea, croquetted and saute-d.
My vegetables au gratln-ed, my. des
erts are glac'd.
I'm steeped. In spice and curry. I'm
filled with crumbs and paste
(I'm pretty sure that nothing in our
kitchen goes to waste.)
And when, with all my hungry soul,
I yearn for Irish stew,
I hear the carol of the cook: "Just
taste this Swiss ragout!"
I Kigh for beefsteak simple, but my
sighing is in vain.
I'd give a whole week's salary to see
an egg cook'.J plain.
I love a boiled potato, but always,
'pon my .soul,
They're minced with peppers, nuts or
cheese, or served en casserole!
How I would relish pork and beans!
And O! what a relief
'Twould be to find upon my plate a
hunk of good corned beef.
But hark! A voice calls: "Dinner,
John! Come see what I have
made;
Here'a shrimp souffle with Creole
