Tho spirit In 'which Iboy havo taken hold of the work shows clearly that tho club has selectod Its govornlng body well. Presumably tho directors arc ma turing plans for tho club work, which will bo nnnounccd from tlmo to tlmo for discussion and action nt tho weekly meetings. In addition manors not previously considered will nrlso during tho coursu of tho year which demand immedlnto attention. Wo bollovo, howuvcr, that to produco tho best rosults tho club should adopt n definite schedulo of work to bo nc compllHhed nnd wo venture tho fol lowing as mnttcrs worthy of having n. placa on tho program I 1. Rural delivery to Tumnlo from Rend. Tho mall to Tumalo now goos from Deschutes, where thoro is no station agent. According to our Information the arrangonieut Is un satisfactory to tho people of Tumnlo and thoy would lie glad to Join In a petition for a change TIiIb would servo to link the two communities closer and Improve business rela tions. 2, Kroo express delivery. At present express Is delivered by prl vuto wagons and a chnrgo Is mado which amounts to n largo Itom In tho business .costs of tho town. In many cities tho oxpress companies mnko froo delivery. Wo do not know wliut tholr sentiment before, thoy aro frankly Interested In Oregon now, And tholr Interest may vory caBlly do- volop Into flOlds other than Hioro simply concerning football. Thoy havo their eyes on Oregon. 80 It Is when a school, or a col- logo or a town has an especially high roputatlon for successful nnd clonn athletics. Take Raker, for Instance. Tho high school there won practically every basoball game nnd track meet for a dozen years and novcr had Its goal lino crossed In football for Ave years, as wo recall It. That put Raker on tho map. It attracted young men to tho town. Thoy wanted to attend a high school with such a record. Hero In Rend wo aro Just getting started, but wo havo n good start. Wo hod a splendid football team, and next season wo can havo another as good or bettor, and probably moro games will bo arranged. Wo had n crcdltnblo baseball team, and this year's will be better. And now basket ball Is coming to tho fore, and a rat tling good quintet will do much to liven up Intercut In things athletic and afford opportunity for healthy competition with other communities. It all pnys. Just from tho stand point of community publicity, If from no other, development of athletics should bo encouraged. It Is good In tho grado school, good In tho high school and good for tho "oldor boys." Thoro never was a community where tho young men wont In for Bports strong, and whero tho public sup ported sports willingly, that was not tho better for It, morally as well as physically. And It all holps to mako folks keep tholr eyes on Dond. DOLLARS THAT TRAVEL. Lnst senson 1,749 automobiles vis ited Crater Lake.

What is probably tho worst plcco of nowB that tho peoplo of Paisley ovor had Is tho report of tho aband onment of tho local Irrigation project by tho promoters. Tho net means the posslblo loss of their Investment and tho end of tholr expectation of making homes In a favorod spot. It wilt como as a discouraging blow. To tho town, also, tho nows must spell disaster, or at least suffering. Undoubtedly It has been living In tho hopo of seeing tho project completed and tho growth of a prosperous and contontcd population on tho irrigat ed lands. Now that hopo Is blaBtod and tho only growth to bo expected will bo such as may como from tho development of tho segregation as a dry farming area. Ono other project Is also affected, tho Oregon, California & Eastern railroad, now being promoted by Rob ert E. Strahorn. Over a year ago, Mr. Strahorn said that his succoss would bo In a large measure de pendent on tho settlement of Central Oregon Irrigation difficulties, nnd Ihn rnnnnntlnnf Hnvnlnnmnnt nt fhn country. Undoubtedly his calcula tions havo Included a promise of ton nage from tho Palsloy project, which now must vanish, unless a way to savo something from tho wreck Is found. Presumably tho Irrigation com pany's attorneys havo good grounds for their abandonment of tho case and yet It would seem best not to gtvo up nt this stage. Many a casa has been won on nppftil. If tho com pany, the settlors, tho people of Pals loy, and possibly those Interested In scolng Mr. Strahorn succeed, could Join In tho expense of an appeal, Judge Daley might bo revorscd nnd tho project snved. Indeed, slnco the company is n con tractor with tho state, nnd tho stnto Is morally responsible to tho settlors as well as to tho United States, It might properly came In In plnco of tho company to tnko the appeal. THE PAISLEY APPEAL. Tho decision of the company back of tho Palsloy Irrigation project to probecuto an appeal from Judgo Daly's decision, giving all tho water of tho Chowaucan river to n local cattlo company, indicates a return ing senso of responsibility. Tho only wonder Is that tho company should over havo let Itself go so far as to announce an abandonment of its manifest obligations. And yet, In tho fact ot what ap pears to havo been an unusual decision, to Bay tho least, It was per haps only natural that tho company should havo momentarily lost heart and thrown up Its hands. Tho grant ot four acre feet to a cattlo company to water Its marsh lands Is so plainly preposterous that tho company must havo felt that thcro was nothing It could do to gain a Just decision. As wo understand tho case, tho cattlo company was wholly unablo to show a prior appropriation and beneficial use, tho only grounds on which tho decision in Its favor could be given, It being Impossible toi uso four aero feet beneficially on. tho cattlo lands. Even In this section, ono and olght-tcnths and two and four-tenths acre feet are considered sufficient on tho C. O. I. project and tho Tumalo project, respectively. Plainly, tho company should tako tho appeal, and tho Land Hoard and nny other ngency which hns Influ enced tho company's change of henrt should bo congratulated on tho ef fort made In tho settlors' behalf.

Action on the part ot tho club might mnku It a reality Instead of n promise. 5. Opening tho Ilenhnm Kails segregation to entry. This subject was fully discussed In tho Wednes day Issuu ot The llulletln. It offers ono of the biggest opportunities In this section. 0. Commercial Club rooms, and gymnasium.

Probably tho av erago really would bo nearer 6.00. Hut uvou at J. 00, those 2,000 trans ients brought to Ilond f 8,000 In cash. All of which Is bused upon con servative figures. Wo havo taken Into consideration only tho automo bile travol which visited Crater Lnko. There Is moro thnn as much oguln which passes through Rend, staying horo for a night or loncor. which does not mnko tho Crater detour. Say, for Instnnce, thnt tho summer tourlsh nuto travol totals 1,500 cars, or e.000 people, of $24,000. It will do that. As our roads Improve, ns wo are bettor known, as tho number of nutoa Increases, tho revenuo will Increase. And wo ore especially fortunate because Ilend's splendid now hotel will go far to atlrnct now travelers and give tho regulars tho WOMEN TO THE FRONT. Nineteen women hnvo become of fice holders In Oregon. No loigcr Is It a "man's world" In politics, nny morn than In other fields ot nvorydny endeavor. Indeed, tho most notable social phenomenon of tho last quarter cen tury has been tho advance ot women to n world position Incalculably mora Important thnn ovor beforo occupied by them. And no doubt tho present decado wilt witness 'an even brisker advance ot tomlulno equality and, In deed, superiority In somo Instances. The war has literally forced women Into now nrtlvltlrH In the fields, fac tories nnd work places of Europe. From many of these, new positions sho will never retreat. Sho has como to stay, In our pwn country, In no florcor conflict thnn thnt of normal economic competition, women havo strodo for ward mightily. Sho Is not only our best nurso, but u physician as well. She is active In science, In tho arts nnd In business ot all kinds. Sio Is oven something or an adventuro-scek-or, nnd as recc'nt records show, can fly through tho air with the best ot them. And hero In Oregon women havo the snmo political rights as mon, nnd tho Mamo responsibilities. So It Is lo bo expected that tho number of women of flea holdors Is Increasing. J Each year1 It will become larger, for thora Is nmplo room for women In ourv public life, and ablo women to fill tho positions which will coll them. It Is an Inevitable development, and a healthy one. 1 . . . , (Now York Sun.) An early forecast of Undo Sam's spring presidential opening contains this pnrngraph: "A now fonturo Is being planned In connection with tho Inaugura tion that Is expected to attract widespread Interest. It Is pro posed to havo a mammoth exhibit portraying all phnBcs ot govern ment nctlvlty, nnd In tho organiza tion ot the spectacle tlio govern ment departments aro co-opor-ntlng." -- Now If "all phases of government activity" could bo exhibited Just ns they arc, without nny offlclnl varnish or whitewash, It would bo a highly valuable sight.

Matthew Fontaine Maury, Who Was a Really Groat American. Every ono who hns heard of Robert Fulton, certainly every ono who hns heard of S. P. It. Morso or Cyrus W. Field ought also to have heard of Mat they Fontaine Maury. Dut that Is not tbo case. For my part, I had never heard of Maury until I went to Vir ginia. I hnvo asked schoolboys if they have beard of him. None of them has. Yet Maury's scientific researches and accomplishments hnvo hnd an enor mous effect, not only In this country, but throughout the world. It may be said that Maury laid the foundation for our modern weather bu reau and that tho science of meteor ology begnn with him. Ho founded the nntlounl nautlcnl obscrvntory nnd the hydrographlc ofllce In Wnsblngton nnd discovered, among other things, the cause of the gulf stream nnd the existence of thnt plnteau In tho north Atlantic ocean which, If I am not mis taken, inndo posslblo the laying of tbo first Atlantic cable. Cyrus W. Field said with rcfercnccMo this, "Maury furnish ed tho brains, Englaud tho money, nnd I did tho work." Further than this, tbo charts of tho north Atlantic which Maury made years ago are today tho basis upon which that ocean is navi gated by nil untlons.
