According to a report recently sent out from tho State Engi neer's offlco Silvics Hivor is sec ond in importanco in the statu so far as covering irrigated lands is concerned. This, too, without any storage system but from tho natural unobstructed flow other than local dams. Powder Kivor is credited with covering tho greatest area of any stream in tho stato and Silvies is second. In n press dispatch from Salem to tho Portland Journal says: "In Harney valley proper G5, O'JG acres of land are being irri gated from tho waters of the Silvies River, while M,633 acres additional aboye Burns are being irrigated from tho same stream. With one exception this is tho greatest amount of land in tho state being irrigated from one stream. Tho Powder river is the only one that exceeds the Silvics, furnishing water to 8f,112 acres. These figures are according to a report recently finished in the ofiice of the stafo engineer." Under proper handling of tho flood waters of Silvies River an enormous area can be reclaimed and it is thus that Harney Valley will come into its own so far as agriculture is concerned. We have our dry farm experiment station which will be a valuable adjunct as it will used to demon strate the propor method of cul ture to conserve the moistureand thus the water may bo used to cover a much largor area than ordinarily covered under irriga tion projects. We have enough water to cover the entire valley by economical use and right methods. Ida M. Tarbell Opposed To Woman Suffrage Ida M. Tarbell nays one of her chief objections to women suff rage is that "it will take the at tention of women from what I believe to bo their real civic duties by interesting them in tho political game, when they should be concentrating their attention on specific civil work." All right minded women want this work done, but differ as to the method. The suffragist thinks the ballot the panacea for all ills of society. The anti-sufr-ragist believes that the constant and effective influence now exer ted by women of legislation and public affairs is due to tho intelli gence of tho woman who advo cates good causes. A woman now interested in the matter of public welfaro is known to bo unselfish and with only the interest of her cause at heart. The same wom an under woman suffrage is only one of many political units, with ignorant and indifferent women yoters added to tho other ele ment arrayed against her success. A few women today idealize the ballot, while what will really solve juvenile delinquency, in temperance, tho whiteslave traf fic and the social evil is education, education and moro education in the homes and from ihe earliest hour of childhood, and therein Ilea the civic duty of woman, bigger than tho casting of any ballot, and absorbing enough to occupy all tho women of Oregon for all time. It is to keen tho all women of this State out of the "political game" and leave them free for this greatest of all their duties that we ask you to vote against the woman suffrage amendment at the coming election.

OUR GIRLS WEAR SOME WRONG CLOTHES That's Why They Have Spinal Cur vature More Than The Men, So Says The Oregon Agricultural Pro fessor, And Suggests A More Sane Apparel To Prevent Such Evils That girls wear foolish clothing and for that reason more fre-1 fluently have spinal curvature than men, was the assertion of i Prof. Miriam Thayer, director' of physical training for women I at the Oregon Agricultural Col-' lege in the first of a series of "health talks" before the young women of tho institution this week. Miss Thayer explained to the girls the sort of shoes they should buy for winter wear, and why some styles cause "fiat foot", of which she has found many cases in her examinations of the phy sical condition of the students under her care. Tight belts and tight clothing of all sorts, especially corsets, were condemned as the great cause of much of the spmal cur vature which occurs far more frequently among women than among men. In the last "few days a number of more or less serious cases of such spinal trou ble have been discovered among the girl students, and special treatments are being prescribed in the gymnasium to correct the uiiiicuiiy. In older to give the director more complete information on which to base her prescription of exercises for the individual girls, each ono was given two cards to I in- filled out, one to contain the! iH-rsonal and familv liistnrv tlw otfiera schedule of exercises to! bo taken regularly. I The history eard contains on one side a record of the illness or ailments to which the girl or her family have been subject. 111 effects following, strains, injur ies or operations undergone, pre vious physical education and two special questiens: Are you inter ested in having an erect carriage and perfect physique? and, Enough so to work hard for bet ter physical development? On the reverse of the card are the name and address, date and place of birth, birthplace of father and mother and their na tionality, the father's occupation when the child was born, resem blance physically to father or mother, if either parent is dead, a statement of the cause of death, tho health of the parent before the birth of the child and at pre sent, the number of brothers and sisters and, if any are dead, the cause, the number of years lived in the city, suburbs or country, the apetite digestion, susceptibi lity to colds, and whether subject to headaches or backaches. If there is any trouble as to breathing equally well through 'both nostrils, trouble with the eyes or ears, fainting or short ness of breath, it is recorded. Do you sleep well and how many hours? How many hours in the day are spent in the open air? Do you use stimulants in any form? These are some of the duestions asked. The girls must also state whether they habitual ly use medicines, drugs or head ache powders, the kind of work they are most often engaged in, (Continued On Last Page) THE FRENCH HOTEL JOHN R.
