But a star through the shad ows I see; Still the rude winds of the world sing a song; "My sweetheart Is dreaming of me:-' That is the dream Which in blessing Is given, Making the world Like an echo of Heaven'. Oh, the gardens of Life are not lost to the gleam. Though winter is wild in the skies; When summer has faded afar, like a dream, Still summer shines bright in her eyes. That is the joy Which in all thincs I seel In rales of Love's lilies he's waiting for me. Frank L. Stanton.

Person- of what may happen 'to the West Ex- ally I w ill never ned but little more tension. It was made very clear last j night that while the adjudication suits have a bearing upon the exten sion the two things come in separate categories and should be so consider ed when action is taken by the club. It is evident that the water rights of the entire state are to be determined and made as exact as land titles. This being the case it stands out pretty plainly that even should the extension be killed it might not help upper river settlers in the slightest. They would still be forced to prove their rights before the state water board and to compete with the Uma tilla project and other lower users for water. Under all the circumstances the East Oregonian will adhere to Its po s'tion that the local club should con tinue Its endorsement of the project extension with the qualification that the government should fully protect upper river water users In their rights and welfare and should make the extension secondary to such irrigation. By taking such action as this the Pendleton club will be standing for the development of eastern Oregon and for the greatest good to the peo ple at large yet at the same time will make known the fact that it is the sentiment of Pendleton that the welfare of the settlers on the upper riv.r should have first consideration SHOP KAIU.V. There Is sound reason for the agi tation for early Christmas shopping. It is for the benefit of the shoppers us well as the store people. It is not merely a plea for the shops and the tired, overworked salespeople !ehind the counters, but an appeal to the Interests of the shoppers them relves, who will benefit by going early, thus securing the pick of fresh goods, the advantage of a larger and more beautiful variety from which to Kelect, and the comfort of not being rushed at the crowded counters of the stores. The purely selfish side of the ques tion is perhaps the one that will have the most effect, for we are so con Mituted that a majority of us do not tare particularly how much trouble we give the other fellow, how a delay to the lie vent h hour congests busi ness in the stores and how every ex tra Wt rf union thrust on the pa tient shoiM-rs of the young men and j-oung wotnwn viO -at-r to our newl? in the stores adds the final straw that breaks down their abundant supplies of f,od nature and over-taxed energy.

We have engaged lawyers to resist the government's attempt to cut us don n to two and one-half acre feet on land we hi.e had under ditch for years. We do not object to the government using any surplus water which they may need for any project, water than I am now using, so nae t Uiltrtl imrir.-i in ...it.. - the surplus water. nut l an snow there are thousands of acres tributary to Birch and McKay creeks that can be irrigated if dams were built to hold flood waters of these creeks. One year ago last August some of the settlers along West B'rch creek had Mr. Whistler, formerly of the recla mation service, survey a p'te for a dam. His estimate was that it would cost $500,000, which you will see placed It bevond the private means of settlers along the creek. I also understand the people of McKay creek had Mr. Whistler survey and estimate for tem with about the same results. Whether these estimates had some thing to do with the lower Umatilla proiect I do not know but they cer tainly look suspiciously high. Now, all I wanted you to do was to call at tention to the fact that dams should hu'lt somewhere at the head of these creeks so water could be used along the tributaries of the Umatilla and not taken from se'tlers in need ft same. As Is well known all creeks drv un during the summer months and unless reservoirs can bebullt to hold the spring fresr-- :t will never pay to take out large ditches for one or two floodings. and then have the creeks dry and the crops burn up. If after due investigation the government finds it not feasible to build these dams alom? the upper Umatilla and its tributaries, then let them allow us sufficient water to properly Irrigate what land is now and has been for years under di'ch and take the bal ance wherever they wish, that Is If they can not help us. We do not wl1i them to rob us.
