Governor West will find little op position to and little support for tho plan to hnvo tho government take ov er tho North canal unit so far as tho eettlcre thereon arc concerned, bo- cause there Are practically none on tho project at present. The work should bo done, however, nnd If con tractual obligations aro to be observ ed, it should be dono by tho ata whose sub-contractor has failed to carry nut Its promises. If the state avoids its obligations. It will bo mere ly another Inttanco of tho fact that contracts made by or with tho state through the Desert Land Hoard need not bo performed but may be amend ed, altered and changed at will. Tho settlers who have been Invited to Saturday night's meeting hero are not interested in the com pletion of the North canal unit. Some wont the canal finished so that they can havo water delivered, but they care nothing for the unit as a whole. What they do want Is a completion of the projects, already begun where water rights 'have Wen sold but no water delivered. They want enough water to insuie growth of their crops. They want enough water so they urn get patents to their lands, borrow money and make needed Improve ments; so they can sell, If need be, and give good title and not have their minds filled with tho thought that, In a few years perhaps, the land may revert to the United States and be opened to homestead entry by any one. IJeforo anything new Is start ed they want what has been begun finished. The answer, that the irrigation company will now give them what they want with the money from the North canal sale, does not satisfy. What assurance Is there that this will he dono? Who knows where the mon ey will go? Time and again the company has contracted with the state to do things, to do things by a certain day, and they are still un done; settlers are still clamorinc for water and for patents. When are they going to get them? The record to date of the state's dealing with the C. O. I. Co. shows that the atate cannot act In a super visory capacity; its record on the Tumaio, . project, on the contrary, shows that where It has full charge It succeeds. Let It take full charge here. It it to provide the money. Let it have the spending. Or if the funds are to come from Uncle Sam, let him watch how they are spent. To Governor West we say this: Take over the .North canal if you can, carry out the company's program; but whatever you do. see to it that set tles now here are taken care of; that water Is brought to them, and the work done that will give them their patents. Theodora Roosevelt, In lilt autobio graphical sketches In tho Outlook, Mr. Roosovelt writes of innny things, groat and small that "I" did while president, but wlum ho sots down tltnt thnl ho or any 0110 else prevented Tho Hague peace cort from becoming an ' amply farco" It bocomos dllllcult to swallow tho egotistic pill. Tho ordi nary man, who Is uotthor statesman nor diplomat, feels that after all Tho Hague Tribunal Is a farce. Porlup not. Wo hope not. Rut tho evi dence of continued wars among tho clvilted iintluus nnd the continued unwillingness really to trust tho trib unal with settlement of tho disputes, not to mention the orgnnUod Insanity of tho international annuitant race, all mnkes one wonder If, after all, Roosevelt, or any one else has pre vonted or can prevent, Tho llnguo Court from becoming an empty farce lbs. 5 ox., caught In Knliuiut Rlvor, Ore.

Why doesn't William Randolph Hearst go to war with Mexico him self? Arthur Hrlsbnne could be chief of stnrr, and all tho employees on tho Hearst papers might enlist. That would save tho taxpayers the liurdmi.i of tho Hearst-llnerta coulllct, the children and the women their bo-renvoments. THE OUTLOOK. In Its editorial comment on the outlook for the now year, the New York Times echoes a general senti ment qt optimism when it winds up the detailed review na follows: "So tho now year opens In hope, with opportunity, with certainty of good things, good business, and care free minds, if only the opportunity be availed of. .The tariff, that terror of the timid, is out of the way, tho Currency net, with Its proroiso of greater freedom for businoas and of protection against prostrating panics, will soon become effective.

Wo havo harvested crops totalling poarly $10,000,000,000 in value, tho nation's top record. The railroads of tho East have made out a convincing case for nn Increase in rates. Capital lias accumulated during a period of slackness and is accumulating. If there bo any unfavorable condition existing a3 the new year begins, It Is in men's minds. If the chief men of trade and industry will put doubt be hind them; If they will rid themselves of causeless fears, tho year 1914 will oeo a return of the country's pros perity. "It was under my administration that The Hague Court was prevented from becoming an empty farce," says OREGON FISH WINNERS. . Oregon sportsmen may be interest ed to know that five of tho six "big gest fish" In the rainbow trout class, awarded prizes In the "Field & Stream" content, wero caught In Ore gon streams. The first prize went to a Montana angler. Tho others were awarded as follows: Second prize Maude H. Reed, 13 pounds. Caught In Williamson river, Klamath Lako, Ore. Third prize H. W.

Tit for tat may not bo a pretty moral code, but It often Is efficacious. Among other things, tho now in como tax regulations speak of tho huBbaud "as tho hoad nnd legal roi- resentntlvo of tho household nnd gen eral custodian of Its Income."

The Bend Millinery Store MRS. S. McINTOSH EMERSON IN OLD AGE. Evn HI Falling Mtmory Could Net Mar HU Amiability. In Dr. J. K. Hosmer's "The Last Leaf." there Is n pathetic picture of Emerson In tils old age. when his mem ory hail failed while his other faculties remained strong: "I had as a fellow guest a man who bad long been Intl mil to with him and whom he wns very glad to see. Talking nfter tea In the library. Emerson said: 'I want to tell you about a friend In Germany. His name I cannot remember,' and be moved to nud fro uneasily In his effort to recall IL This friend nltb whom we have taken tea tonight, whose name also I cannot remember' here agntn came a distressed look at the failure of his faculty 'I cannot re member his name either, but he can tell you of this German friend whoso namo I havo also forgotten.' "It was a sorrow to see the breaking down of a great spirit and his agita tion as ho was conscious of his wan Ing ower. And yet. so far as I could see. It was only the memory that was going. The Intellectual strength was still apparent, ami tho amiability of his spirit wns iierhaim even more than- If cut than In the years when he was in the full M)McMlon of hlltim-lf. 'This cnino out In little things. Ho was overanxious at the tablo lest the hospitality should mine short, troubled about the supply of butter and applo saucn. nnd soon nfter I saw him on his knee nn the benrth taking caro that tho fire should catch the wood to alwite the evening coolness that was gathering In the room." 2 iiVL!

A Dover correspondent reports a cu rious incldeut which was witnessed at a farm at Elms Vale, on the confines of the borough. A flock of seagulls fly. Ing Inland hud taken possession of a newly sown field and were pecking away, when a still mora numerous flock of rooks swooped down nnd at tacked the gulls. Tho rooks, being about two to ruch gull, flapped and rushed tho gulls until they withdrew to a field somu distance off. The vic torious rooks then proceeded to enjoy themselves In the field, having llrst set what were apparently sentries along the aide of the Held. It was amusing to watch thcsi? sentries hustling away any gull which strayed too neur. It has been rioted by naturalists that this setting of sentries Is In accordance with the habits of rooks. l.oudon Ily stander Th Drink That Was Calltd Robur.
