For reasons best known to them
Kclvcs some people have attempted,
from time to time, to blork the lease
of Summer mid Ahert lRl.es by the
S'ntn lo Jason Moore. And since the

To help these dry farm settlers to
Irrlgnto thrlr lands Is ' ut an adapted
form or rural credits. The state aid
extended would be a district for a
sIiikIo purpose, while under n rural
credit system, as the term Is common
ly understood, the aid would on ex
tended to croups of runners, each
perhaps needing money ror n differ
ent purpose. Hut In either case that
nftl would be the provision of cheap
loans for the purpose of raising the
productivity of the land lo the high-
eft stage.
"The rural credit Idea comes from
loiignislabllslied communities where
th6 larger problems of drainage have
bi'ell solved and Irrigation is not a
necessity. We have learned to con-1
shier rural credit as something apart
from nn encouragement to district
drainage or Irrlgi'tlun simply hecniiFO

Tuxedo Nights
by Walt Mason
When the day's work's done, nnd the good old sun
has sunk in the well known West, then I stretch my
form by the fireside warm, I sit at my ease nnd rest.
Then I take my pipe which is mildly ripe, as the pipes
of good smokers are, with a chortling soul then I fill
its bowl from my glass Tuxedo jar. And I smoke nt
ease, and my trouble flees to
the place where dead troubles
go; and my worries seem, in
my waking dream no longer to
have a show. 'And I say, "In
deed, it's a noble weed that
drives all the ghosts away, and
clamps the lid on the cares
that skid around through the
busy day. The worries and
woes and such things as those
in the daytime leave their scar, but there's rest at
night and a calm delight in my
glass Tuxedo jar." (hajP
More-
$10,000.
The old opponents to the entire
rn continued hi protest nnd tlitd
fault. They declnred now. not much
that tho lease was unfair to the fin
ancial best Interests of the state but
that behind' It was a wild cat stork
Jobbing scheme. The public must be
HAfuguarded, said they.
Then the second period expired,
and again Moore asked ror an exteu
s'011. Again there was no other or
fer. no other leasing proposition lin
ing put forward. Again the $1 0.000
was kept by the Honrd. And again
thuso out of sympatliv with the plan
proclaimed that the louse should ie
nb.iudoned.
The Laud Hoard granted another
ovtimsloti. stating this was to he
Moore's last chance He was to net
action or iUlt. and, Incidentally for
feit his $10,000 to the State Treas
ury for all time, further, to guard
against the possible stock Jobbing 1
which seemingly troubled the lease
opponents, tho Hoard told Mooro that !
he would have to Incorporate under ;
the laws of Oregon, wi that all stock 1
Hnlos, possible "watering" and cor-1
porate Juggling would be under the,
jurisdiction of our excellent and
Ktrlntlv elllclcnt blue sky laws. 1
And there you are.
Jason Moore is now showing some '
signs of life. He Is taking watr
f mm tho lakes for thorough testing,
upon a commercial scale, at eastern '
manufacturing centers. He still de
clare that he has a "good thing"
i.ud that his promised big develop
ments will become realities.
Mr. Moore, to tie sure, has not
'undo a very favorable Impression
111 large assurances have rath"
frayml out. lt Is possible that he s
Milely a promoter, and possible al
Hint his past record may lie unsav
ory. Hut 011 the other hand, he hus
vet ample time to make good, he mav
lie able to auconipllsli Just what he
has said he could, and what he h.is
don or not done In the past really
has next to no bearing u.hiii the pres
ent nnd the future. We hope he will
wnko a success of his lake loose, nnd
ww are willing to give hi in u geuerois
than co to succeed.
Hut whether Mooro wins or looses,
whether ho Is it financier or a fakir,

proprloty ot tho l.oilslaturo's action

Mooro fulls, tho money Is forfeited
If h sets his projtwl under way, Lu
ther funds come to Uie State. And
should he proceed tho public Is safe

tho Oregon laws.
And Aiiullv, the Hoard had no oth

nothing. At worst. Mooro meant
