COO SATURDAY, AUGUST 2. Can You Beat It ! Bli?gggfn Western Oregon Irrigation. For many years the idea prevailed that there was no need for irrigation in Western Oregon and that farming could bo as well carried on without as with it. We are at the dawn of a now day in this as in other things. Ir rigation has demonstrated its value in Western Oregon. The awakening to this fact is becoming general. Un questionably there is to be more and more resort to irri gation on Western Oregon farms favorably located for it, as there is to more and more resort to drainage, to in tensive cultivation and to soil renewal. ; Tie turning of water into the irrigation ditches on the L. O. Abies farm near Springfield marks a milestone in irrigation progress for this district. It is the first realization here of the actual bringing of water to the land by artificial means. This project will afford a field ior demonstration to .Lane county farmers of what irri gation will do. Such a demonstration cannot but have the effect of making resort to the watering bf the land more commonly practiced tnan it nas been. itesnlts at tained in irrigation districts elsewhere make valuable re sults here certain. Potentially irrigation is an influence toward intensi fication and toward subdivision of farms. Under irriga tion the farmer will be able to harvest crops as largo from a restricted area as he has been doing on a larger area unirrigated. This leads again to a more compact farmer population and a larger one. In the Grants Pass district irrigation has become a demonstrated success so much so that farmers on con tiguous lands are endeavoring to come in under it. At Salem there is being pointed out the benefits of irriga tion to the flax fields, where it prolongs the harvesting season and enables each flax pulling machine to cover a larger acreage than otherwise. Irrigation is a subject which it will bo well worth the while of Lane 'county farmers to investigate well It points a road to their in creased prosperity. didvjo He ai A What My ' HO.

Was it a High Price? : ' No other transfer of real estate in Eugene has caused io much comment as the recent sale of 28 feet frontage on Willamette street, just south of Eighth avenue, including a one-story brick building. Tne cash consideration in the deal was $44,000. By some this was considered a large figure. But was tho price high! ' Heal estate located in the heart of the business dis trict of as substantial a city as Engeno is in some respects in the nature of a monopoly. The locations cannot be duplicated. This is what gives such property its hisrh value. A fair method of arriving at a valuation on such a piece of property, according to investment men, is to Bonsider its net annual income as seven per cent of its value. Millions of dollars of six per cent bonds are eag erly bought in the United States yearly. None of them are more sound as an investment than Eugene business property. By that test then a price for Eugone business property which will net seven per cent is a fair price. Competent rental authorities estimate that tho par ticular property unaer aiscusBion snouia easily net sj.jJjUU a year in rentals. On this basis the value of the property is nearer $50,000 than the figure paid. , Thus tho answer to our question appears to be that the price was not high Bather it was low.. Marriage and Divorce at Home. In Lane county in 1923 there were 417 couples mar ried and only 85 couples divorced. In 1922 there wero S53 couples married and 72 couples divorced. Tho fiir tires are from a department of commerce bulletin just re leased. They show that tho Lane county percontago of increase in marriages in lyyj over 1922 was 8.5 per cent, while the increase in divorce for tho snnio poriod was 8.1 per cent Thus domestic felicity appears to have a shade the best of it. ; The report denotes a wholesome condition of nffnivs in this county as compared with a few other counties of Uregon. m Clackamas, for instance, during 1923 thero were only 279 marriages as against 319 divorces. In Clatsop there wero 146 marriages and 203 divorces. Tho Clackamas county Boat has long been known to famo as a looal lieno, but ono wonders what is tho matter down in Clatsop county. In tho entire state during 1923 there wero 7,132 ninr riagos and 2,894 divorces. In tho state as a whole divorce is increasing at a more rapid rato than ninrriage. For 3923 the increase as to marriage over 1922 was 9.1 per cent for tho state, as against Lano county's rate of 8.5 per cent. For 1923 the state's increase in divorce over 1922 was 14.8 per cent as against Lano county's 8.1 per cent. In Lano county, it theroforo appears, the, fashion of matrimony is not spreading quite so fast aa throughout Oregon as a whole, and the fashion of divorce is not spreading nearly so fust as in tho rest of tho stato.

If wo nil would drive sedately where the stream of traffic flows, going forward, Blow and stntely, aa tho truly wise man rocs, it would sure ly lessen greatly heavy tasks tho sexton knows.

TION. - ' CHAPTER 30 Leah reigned supreme in her tiny kingdom. Peter was her slave, and Peter hua a way of paying homage which could hard ly fall to gladden any woman's heart Leah was so warmed by Peter'a comforting companionship that she persuaded herself she did love Peter, after all. She refused to think otherwise. What she felt for Peter seemed sufficient for their happiness and she did net delve deeper into her dormant emotions. The thrill and Inspiring new ness of their marital broom was sweeping all the cobwebs of in compatibility and unhappiness be fore it. . Peter was exquisitely happy, and Leah had every inten tion of enjoying berseit to ine fullest The combination was sur prisingly successful. It was Just a question of how long tho new broom would keep from getting worn on the corners and jaggodly broken - and uneven along the edges. Not that such thoughts or pos sibilities ever entered Leah's head for a brief second. She had rush ed into marriage with Peter be cause she honestly believed for the moment that it was what she wanted. It promised a sudden re- relief, but she had not grasped the thine as a fleeting Joy of the mo ment which would fade and leave her unsatisfied and miserable. She dashed into marriage with Peter ns a refuge for her bleeding heart and she had given little thought to the outcome, either for Peter or herself. She had been honest in this. Leah had not meant to be cruel or basely unjust to Peter. She liked Peter: liked him Just as a little child loves the devotion of a big Newfoundland dog. And if Peter wanted her, and was happy, and satisfied with the kind of love she gave him, she did not think it necessary to question deoper. In fact, Leah was not thinking or worrying aDout tne future. How few of us do, and what cowards it would make out of us if we always did! Also there was another strange, deep truth which Leah could not realize, nnd she would not nave behoved it if the gods of fnte themselves had come down and whispered It to her. And that truth wan that if Leah had mar ried Guy Winton instead of Peter, she would have tasted the cup of regret and bitterness even before she did as Peter's wife. Peter's love for Leah was a masterpiece, and Peter took infinite pains to make their life together a beauti ful thing.. But life held strange, illuminating experiences for Leah, and her nature drew them down upon herself , with the relentless force of an unwavering destiny. m tne world "Oil soul was forced ,i J"hil only becausa of pl standing WB ,iLpr- f come sooner.
