Three distinct Irrigation proposi tions are under way each covering a separate field, and we should all be well Informed as to their future. - ' The Gravity District Improvement company, composed of landowners, will construct a gravity ditch to cov er the bottom lands' west of the city, approximately 8,000 acres, and the landowners expect to have the ditch in operation ior me ii irrisuuuu season. This Is a landowners' propo sition pure and simple and the land owners expect to do the work with such financial assistance as has been pledged. The landowners under the north side ditch are arranging to provide water for their lands for the coming season, and possibly extend the ditch for a mile or so to take in addition- . 1 W.TBBKI3. The landowners on the southside of the river have organized a dis trict and propose to irrigate their lands under the district plan. All three plans are practicable and feasible, and all will become realities providing the proper sup port is given to each of the enter prises. ' ' The businessmen and citizens generally of Grants Pass are as vit ally Interested in providing irriga tion as the landowners themselves. It Is, therefore, to their interests, both from a business and a social standpoint, to Join bands with, the landowners and extend aid in every way possible. . It is not a question of whether we ought to have irrigation, but rather a proposition, "We must have Irri gation," and with the proper cooper ation between the citizens of Grants Pass and the landowners the ques tion will be easily answered in the affirmative. It is not always necessary to ex tend aid in the shape of money or other things of material value. Moral aid and support will go many times further in many instances and Is the best kind of aid that can be offered, and the citizens of this community should Individually and collectively avlan ia( Anlif ifli&ft mnwal aid tint wherever possible, their material support, to these irrigation mbve- PICK A FEW OF OUR 10c Specials ALWAYS ASK FOR NUMBER 18 COFFEE KINNEY & TRUAX GROCERY.

Each is worthy of such sup port, and the landowners, who are working to solve the irrigation ques tion, should be told, "I am with you, and will do all in my power to aid you." . Such support must neces sarily bring the desired result. We are at the dawn of a new era, and we must determine which way we are to go forward or backward we cannot stand still. : WHAT PENALTY? Many are the letters pouring into offices of city dallies, from persons of all walks of life, setting forth the manner of death, to be Inflicted up on William Hohenxollern. Some, would put the former kaiser at hard labor for life; others would burn him In oil or at the stake, and, here are a few other ways various citizens would dispose of him: A fresh coat of tar and feathers every week; behead him; cut blm to pieces; any sort of a lingering death; death Is too good for him let him live in agony; hang him; cruci fy him; turn him over to the out raged women of France and Bel gium; solitary confinement; blow him up with dynamite, etc., etc. Jnst think of it, and these peo ple Americans, too. But they cannot be blamed for wanting to inflict tor ture upon this man Hohenzollern this -devil Incarnate yet, America Is a civilized nation. For the al lies' to practice cruelty even upon our enemies would not be enlight ening to us. These are military times; the Hohenzollerns have al ways 'been militarists, therefore there Is but one proper place to try him, a military court. We can all guess the outcome.

Such action is entirely unwar ranted and detrimental to the best Interests of the fighting men and their loved ones. Because of delay in receiving in surance certificates, many soldiers believe that they are paying for In surance protection which they are not receiving. This is Incorrect. Government insurance Is effective re gardless of the receipt of Insurance certificate provided proper applica tion has been made and premiums are being paid. The certificates is no part of the contract of Insurance; It is merely evidence that the con tract exists. NOTICE I will be In Portland until Janu ary 1st, for the Johns Manville Co.
