Phone Main 202. Monmouth, Oregon Arizona is said to bs the dryest state in the Union but some of the thirsty who live there aver that Arizona just at present is not so dry as the region that has always looked to Milwaukee and St. Louis for moisture. It is to be noticed that the pro test against the peace treaty ana its articles are growing less pro nounced. It will be ratified one of these days for only the most stub born of minds would hold up the pea:e of the world and the pros pects of business to negotiate an other treaty. As to its wisdom and the practical workings of the agree ment, that is a matter for the fu ture to determine. One of the best things which the chautsuqua offered was Mr. Whit ney's reading of "Turn to the Right". Not only was Mr. Whit-, ney possessed of astonishing talent as an impersonator but the charact er of the play itself was most satis fying. It was something on could sit through and enjoy every minute. No problem of doubtful propriety were offered to offend the senses and abash your laith in your fellow men. No sensations with Impossi ble climaxes with' no justification other than the mere hope of creat ing a thrill. Just a plain homely story of plain homely people sea soned with wit and garnished with rich humor. It was exceedingly good. In his addresses Mr. Bryan tells how he found when visiting the ranama canal that the slides in the Culebra cut continue and force is constantly employed in clearing away the resulting dirt. He asked how long the slides would continue and was told it would be until the wallof earth on the sides of the canal had reached the "angle of re pose". This is a felicitous expres sion and has hundreds of applies tions in every day life. It is that for which people constantly seek. Some people are unable to reach the angle of repose because they are not resting on the right sort of a foundation. As fast as the tides f time tear sway the pro jecting surface that overhangs the gulf of necessity, the ground also crumbles beneith them becsuse it is not of s substance to withstand the elements. Thus the sliding process is repeated snd thus they seek in vain in a lifetime for that repose so ardently longed for. ICE CREAM All of the Popular Flavors Books. Stationery Candy, Cigars, Etc.

When that time comes, let us hope county people will mingle more and in time cul tivate a tolerance and friendly spirit, just the reverse of that ex hibited when the county voted against the reconstructionfact that would have added $100,000 in state We couldn't imagine a bett time to consider a proposed sddi tion to our water system than right now. While the pumps are doing their best and the patience snd to! erance of the patrons in the city are fine, yet all must realize that some change is imperative. Grav ity water is not ss good ss well water, but it has the merit of quantity, offering enough for the fullest domestic use ss well as for lawns and gardens. Not only would it yield very much more ws ter but it would be cheaper. There are also. Important prospects for commtrcial irrigation that could be developed and with the through highway conveniently at hand we could develop an important market garden industry. There are com' mercial industries, such as canning, condensing and packing to which an amDle sumly of water would be at tractive. We must realize, how ever, that the proposal to secure gravity water entails heavy respon nihilities and financial problems and these are the things we must con sider and consider carefully before we act.
