(Dy It. M. D.) Tho Hoard of Directors of Hurnoy Valley Irrigation District met again on tho ICth and Mr William Han ley filed hla bond and took tho oath of otllco after which the Hoard pro ceeded with Its permanent organic atlou electing Mr. Hanley as Presi dent. An Interesting featuro of tho meet ing was tho drawing of Iota to detur mini) who would hold tho ono, two and three year terms. Mr. Hanley drew first and secured tho two year term and Mr. Graut Thompson was second to draw and secured tho ono year term leaving thy three year term to Mr. A. It. Olson, Mr. Duncan waa continued for the time being aa Secretary tho Hoard feeling that It was not quite ready to select a permanent Secretary aa tlm work of ho District had not suf ficiently developed. Tho question of permanent quar ters for the district wau discussed and put over until a subsequent meeting. ' Tho Hoard of Directors adopted a resolution that Is inatlo a part of their records creating a Hoard of CommlHaloncra and giving thorn the powers and duties of properly auth orized agents of the Hoard of Direct ora. The Hoard of Commissioners HT. JOHKPIl IIOHPlTAIi Nearly all of our large Hospitals like the Ht. Vincent at Portland aro In charge of the Sinters of Mercy and It is Inconceivable that anyone should object to tho Sisters ef Ht. Joseph who have consecrated their llv)s to tho alleviation of human misery be ing placed in charge of St. Joseph Hospital at llurns. Nn ono will fall tn recognlo the mission of these sinters an one of mercy, lovo and honuvolonco, whoia Impelling motlvo Is to bring comfort to tho heart, protect every human r rout uro from helpless Infancy to d crcplt old ago, to feed tho orphan nnd nurso tho alok. Thero is no plms'j of human misery for vhlr,i they do not provide some remedy. , Tho sisters mako no, distinction of person or nationality or color or creed, for truo charity embraces all; thoy do not labor for worldly gain, but In every ono you havo a mluistur ing angel moving along tho path of duty, and like the angel Raphael, who concealed his namu from robins, the sister hides her namo from the world. Her only umhltlon la that tho rocordlng angol may be her biog rapher; that her name may bu In scribed in tho book of Life, and that Bhi) may recelvo hor rccomponao from Him who has said; "I waa alck and yo visited mo, for as often aa yo did It to ono or tho least of my hrothorn, yo did It to mo." Kvory fraternal organization and every christian body havo beon and aro today zoaloua promotem In the work of christian bonovolonco, nnd lot uf) nil Join and do till wo can in the cause of humanity. Every maw has u mission from God to help his follow being and thero is one plat form on which wo stand united and that la tho platform of charity and bonovolonco. We cannot, indeed, llko our devlno Master, glvo sight to tho blind, and hearing to the deaf, and sponch to thedurab, and atrenght to the paralyzed limb, but we can work miracles of grace and morcy by rellovlng the distress of the flick and bring sunshine to heart that nro dark nnd desolate, R.

The Hoard of Directors and the Commissioners spent some tlmo In a goneral discussion of tho varloui rcaturos involved, particularly aa to tho typo of worka to ho constructed. All wero agreed that tho construc tion of a reservoir was tho Drat neces sity, tho location la to bo worked out later. This no doubt will dopond largely upon tho report of tho engin eer and a careful weighing of all the factors bearing upon tho project. Tho Hoard did not select an Kn glneor at thin mooting but In still looking for the right man. It was generally oxpressed that half of tho brttlo waa In selecting tho prop" i an for this important poat. The Hoard adjourned to moil, again March 2Hrd fonturthor dlscu slou and Investigation. No assessment ban yet been made for preliminary expenses and this la beforu tho Hoard and has boon taken under consideration. Tho Hoard and ! Commissioners aro a unit that thero l should unt.hu oil) cent of cxpjui") that could be nvnld'id i.iul that tho , levy for preliminary expenses should ! bo Just aa light an posslblu. FORE8T PROTECTION Vleifal fra several angles It appeaf'to 'the Forent Trotortlon Conmlttee of the Portland Chamber of Commerce that -elimination of our annual Ioas through' forest flrel must have the serious thought nn cooperation of every citizen of Ore gon and the whole Northwest. In thla Western Country wo ure Just beginning to realize that what ban been long prophesied regarding tho community valuo of our forests Is coming truo. Extension of exist ing operations nnd Installation of many now onoa In well under way, whllo plans nro being mado to open up now sections In tho noar future. What this munus to tho State needs no explanation. Every citizen shares In tho increased activity whether he owns timber or not. And back of all thla Hen tho In disputable fact that we will profit from tho lumber industry Just so long aa there ia raw material to keep it going. It la with thla in mind that the Federal Government, the Stato and private interests yearly spend largo sums to. protect forests against fire. Hut tho public must get back of their efforts if the annual losses aro to bo reduced. Forest protection la not tho business of any apodal class, It is ovorybody's busi ness and ovorybody should make it tholr business. Attention has beon .called to poa slbllltlca of Oregon having an ouor moua tourist trndo. Forest fires nro Insoparlbly linked with efforts to sc ouro this for tho Stato. A smoke lndon atmosphoro from July to Sep tember tho tourist mouths means Inability to show people coming hero what wo havo to offor. We are told thut tho autnmor of 1020 will see a largo number of visitors here asldo from thoao wo know are coming. Shall wo let them go back East and advertise our 8tute or view the uaual blankot of smoke and accuse ua of misrepresenting our attractions? It'o up to tho people of the State to d cldo this, to grasp an opportunity ov cast it aside. It ia with 'tho Idoa that here in Oregon wo Bhould overbook no oppor tunity that Forest Protection week Ib bolng planned. Wo don't want to wait until a lot moro of our tirobor hi burned boforo uwalconlng to tho fact that it la well worth saving.
