A city may go along for year; serenely free from contamination when suddenly its day may come and it may he attlicted. A prevention is belter than a cure, and it should be a constant policy to safeguard against the possibility of infection. 1 ins Lu gene has not done. It has carelessly allowed things to go along until the microbe came and struck hard: but it is a live city, one of the most progres sive anywhere and it will arise equal to the occasion, and in a few years the water of Kugenc will be as pure and clean as any to be secured. The absolute demand for it will bring it lint cifirs without epidemics need to look ahead all the time. $20,000,000 FOR CONSERVATION. President Taft's release of the $20,- (XKJ.LlXJ appropriated fur reclamation work, just announced from Washing ton, is goml news to many sections of the Pacific Xorthwest in which por tions of the money arc to be spent, .Under the law the entire sum must he used within live years so that work will soon begin. The Northwestern projects which will be immediately benefited and the sum to be spent on them are the Payette project in Ida ho. $2.(XK),0()0, the Umatilla, Oregon, .$325,000; the Klamath, Oregon, $600, 000; the Sunnyside and Tieton, Wash ington, $1,250,000 and $SG5,000 respec tively. Funds sullicient for mainten ance or operation arc to be allowed jor the Kittitas and IJenton units of the Yakima project, and an allotment 'from the general fund will go to the pkauogau project in Washington. ; BACK TO THE PEOPLE. Carnegie lias now given away $180, 750,01X1. That is he has returned to the people sonic of their money. Through an extortionate tariff he has . ticcti able to aeeuiiiiilalc an immense fortune, millions ami millions, the penile paying for it through the high priees charged by the iron mills of the Scotchman. His income has be come so large as to stagger the arith metician, ami in self defense lie has been giing some of it away, lie is doing eminently right, and it shows the right spirit. Were he and Kock crfeller ami a few others to keep all they made through the instrumental ity of congress they would soon own most of the v. oiM. n:- at lr it an im mense slice oi it. Ily giving back sonic of their . .,1th they help to even things U" - tncwliat, ami arc . entitled to credo o r doing that much for Ihc world, sonic of the things done being improvements to the world that otherwise would never have been received. Is it possible that there is a system ill the madness of modern finance, working for the1 good of hu manity, even thohgh some of the money is tainted. A NEW YEAR EEGUN.
