The obser valice of this feK.vl is traced hack to the time of tturor Comniodtia in the latter putt of the second century aJW$,Christ. While In this country it is given more or less religious signiuVaiice. many Christ inns entirely rej.u that a petit of the. celebration as a "human inven tion". The Atootch Presbyterians and English dissenters are among these. It is highly probable that the popular Christinas would soon become u dowl institution if it were not for the part taken by St. Nicholas, or Santa Clans, or Kris (Cringle.

If Roosevelt could be put iu nomina tion right now it would go far to relieve the business tension of a presidential year, for there would be no doubt about his re-election. Such improvements as Mr. Wiest is making for his poultry yard are important to the community. He is organizing a really productive industry, an industry of the kind that makes the individual and the community self supporting or bet ter. We have the elements of self support' if we will but use them; but so long as we depend on the outside world for the necessaries of life we will be industrially weak. The homely developments of the small farmer will make any country strong. an easy, off-hand manner, without manuscript or notes. His delivery was pleasing, and his remarks, which were easily heard iu the re mote corners of the Senate chamber, were attentively followed by a large circle of interested senators, and by the large crowd in the gallery. At the conclusion ofhis speech Senator Pulton was warmly congratulated. The days have not yet gath ered increased length enough to invite tjvlliglit strolling in Uend, as the dkl song might warrant, but the winter solstice is past and from now on the days will grow longer till the tropic of cancer shall halt the northward sun next June. The season of lengthening days is the buoyant time of year, inviting hopeful, aggressive work. We have six of these buoyant I months now before us. "What will they bring us? Sheriff C. Sam Smith, who is president of the Columbia Southern Irrigation Company, with a segre gation of 26,000 acres in the Tumello valley, has bought a h'a'f interest in a 3000-acre reclamation enterprise over in the eastern part of the county, just west of Buck mountain. This, also, is under the Carey law. Storage reservoirs will be built for the water. These irri gation projects will soon transform Crook county from a desert range to one of the most fruitful in the state. It is already a market worth cater ing to. William Casey, of Powell bmtes, 33 miles away, brings his chop feed, apples, xatches and pota toes here. Pent McCallister, of Cove orchard, 45 mites north, comes here with his apples ami peaches. Ranch cured boms, shoulders and bacon were teamed iu from Tygh valley, 100 miles north, in the fall. The up-river catllemen look to the Hurid market to take n considerable part of their stock. Gradually the whole Deschutes country is coming to recognize Heud as a growing market for its produce and trade is definitely set ting tliis way. Partners buy mer chandise where they sell tlieir produce. The Crook County Journal can see nothing to rejoice over iu tbe announcement that tbe Columbia Southern railroad will advattctt to Hsnd 'iiwet o'oar. It affects to be lieve '(& the announcement was designe & stimulate a towusite boom or something else but that there is no intention of building a railroad. The Prineville Review discusses somewhat ijuerrulonsly the effect the Bond railroad will hae on the county seat town. We regret to sec such spirit exhibited.

If appears, 'however, that the titles "nnVtb Mr. jjtjuusbu'person'ally uhd 4,iiot Hb J.( President I.ytfe's announcement that Harriman has signed the con tract for financing the Columbia Southern extension to Uend and that construction of the road will begin iu the spring seems to re move all doubt about the matter The survey made by the Columbia southern, however, npiMjars not to be entirely satisfactory to Mr. Har riman. Doubtless the mileage is too great. By putting more ex pense into construction the mileage between Shaniko and Bend may be mrfterially reduced. Certainly the "f route may be made 10 miles shorter, possibly 15 miles could be cut out. The cost of the road would be no less because of this reduced mileage but something would be gained in running time and ease oi operation when completed, and those con siderations are important iu modern railroading. The great care taken to have this line in all respects up to the best railroad standard is as surance that it is to .be no mere local feeder. It probably uiontis that'the, alignment "and grades of vauccs. .More him larger towns arc inevitable as the country In comes developed, and a neighborly spirit of helpfulness will be to the advantage of all.

If Prineville weru getting one or a doseu railroads Heud J would be right glad of it. And she is bound to have a railroad before many years nm. TtMber IamA, Act JtMM j, MfS.
