A POS9IHLE PROQRAM
Tho determination of tho now
Commercial Club directors and man
ngor to maka tho club n greater
forco In tho development of Dond
luring tho coming year1 will bo wel
comed by all who havo tho Interest
of tho city nt heart. 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.

ono thousand short of tho number

DAD NEWS FOR PAISLEY.
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.

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

The war has literally forced women

From many of these, new positions

She is active In science, In tho arts

And hero In Oregon women havo

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.

A MAN WE HAVE FORGOTTEN.
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.
