-I 3AGE FOUR, THE HEPPNER HEXALD, QBEfiOH Tuesday, December Ii, 1923 (Ration i, it 5 V ' j 4 A Sentinel on Holland's Prepared by th National Genu rniihic So y clety, Washington, IJ. C.) ' The Netherlands, which celebrated Jhe silver jubilee of their queen re cently, usually g so quietly and ef ficiently on their way and have so few of the turmoils and alarms that in Jarge purt make up modern news, that lie outside world seldom appreciates thiit here Is a country Unit Is one of Die hest ripened and most wholesome of the fruits of civilization ; u land In which war has been transnjuted Into a Hiiecessful strife of science against jiHture; In which thrift has nil but conquered poverty; and In which kindly human nature lias developed a oelul system and governmental mit chlnery that seem to bring content ment to the whole spotless, busy, In telligent population. There are paradoxes In the Nether aJunds thut catch the eye more quickly thin the solid facts. Klrst Is the mat ter of the country's name. To the English-speaking world It Is "Holland." But this Is no more the correct name 4hun ".Virginia" Is the mime of our Union. "Holland" Is merely the name of two of the states of the United Netherlands. Anil this only begins the paradoxes. It Is a country where the rivers run, no to speuk, over the heuds of the Inhabitants. Populous cities rest be low the level of the seu, which per Istently clamors for admission. Culti vated Ileitis ure burled under unpro ductive sand, und marshes are drained to become fertile gardens. Holland's ,wy existence Is a purudox in physical geography. The face of the earth Is usually accepted as being nil her old In com jmrlson with limn and bis works. But not so In Holland. The Dutch have molded und reshaped and constructed the features of their land more rad ically tbim the most modern surgeon Jhis rebuilt the faces of inaiuled war victims. A large part of the country bam been wrested from (he sen anil Is held every day from Its :ij.gTessive waves. Everywhere there are canals, some eo Hinall that they barely uccommo date it rouhoat and others so large that they will limit an ocean liner. Primarily, most of the canals' arc drains, and the carrying of traflie Is n Incident, though In many cases a most important Incident, Elaborate Drainage Systems. Since most of the land is below the level of the sen, the soil must be drained before It can he tilled. 1 'Itches are dug. linn which the waier runs. Aa these become full, the water is fiumped Into others having higher bunks; then from the latter Into oth er! still higher, until linally sen-level reached. The laws of nature are reversed. The drainage is from lower levels to higher. In the early steps the water Is lifted by wind power, but onn the volume becomes so great and uch a lutge areu of land Is vitally concerned In Its prompt removal that Hie state erects a pumping stutlou and a trtmted otllclal sees to It that the water In bis canal does not remain abure its assigned level. Thus the drains become greater and greater and may be used as water ways. Their banks, made of sandy earth, must he reinforced hy being faced with stone or fortltied by piles, lu the case of the larger streams, these banks become dikes, and both stone and piles are needed In order to control the waters. There Is not a Hi one quarry In Holland, yet because of Its faced dikes It has more stone work to the square mile than any cither country in the world. Its for ests are too few to supply fuel to its Inhabitants; ,t It l,a oi'IKuns of great fee trunks underground, driven In to seme as building foundations ,,. bold In check the wash'ng waters.

At intervals In the canija one will see against the banks, projecting above the water, boards with black horizontal lines and figures that look like giant thermometers without the tubes of mercury. They are gauges which show at the top the bench mark of Amsterdam or the zero to which all water levels are referred. The num bers on the board have minus signs before them and Indicate the level of the canal water below Amsterdam. It means that the water on which you are looking Is running alon? below sea-level, a bit of Information that may make you shudder. Pumping Carefully Regulated. Since numerous small cunals are emptied by wind-driven pumps Into euch larger and higher one, there must be a limit to the pumping at eadi transfer station for water might be put Into a canal more rapidly than it could be removed somewhere else. Then, too, the canals emptying into the sea have their discharge limited by the height of the tide at their mouths. So It becomes necessary that at each station the height of water should have a fixed limit. The ofllclul In charge of euch station Is In structed not to pump after the wuter In the receiving canal has reached a certain height, und thut the witter In the lower canul should be kept below a certain level that Is, If It rises above that height there Is danger of an overflow. From this it can be seen that a local engineer might be etnburrassed by conflicting orders, lie may he for bidden to pump water into one canal because It Is ready to overflow, and know at the same time that the lower canal is dangerously full. Fortunately for Mm, he Is not called upon fb "worry about this. The latter condition has already been observed by the district Inspector, and notices served thut pumping Into this lower canal should cease at once. The canals still lower might thereby he In danger of over How, but that would cause the pumps still lower down to stop until the Indi vidual farmers would be forced to throw their wind pumps out. of gear. This might cause some tields to be come submerged, but the principle Is observed that it Is better for the water to rise gently over a few Holds than to have a large canal burst Its banks, and the rushing waters endanger life as well as property. This entire question of drainage, the conduct of rivers to the sea, and the protection of exposed shores Is under the direction of the Ministry of Water Affairs. Close to Amsterdam, less than a century ago, there was un Inland seu over which ships sailed and on which there was once a nuval battle. Now that body of water does not exist. In its place Is a beautiful, quiet, pros perous countryside of farms and gar dens, roads, meadows and canals. Here Is how the luke was "exor cised" and Its bottom added to the constantly growing Netherlands: An encircling dike was constructed, with a large canal on Its outer face. Great pumps, lifting a thousaud cubic feet at each stroke, poured the water of the lake Into the encircling" canal. After thirty-nine months the commis sion charged with this work made the laconic report, "The lake Is dry," and the mednf they Issued In commemora tion of the event contained In Latin the inscription: "Haarlem Lake, after having for centuries assailed the sur rounding tields, to enlarge Itself by their destruction, conquered at hist by the force of niaehinerv, bus returned to llelland Its 4 l,"SO acres of invaded bind." These acres are now occupied by about twelve thousand people, nuJ their products are the choicest of the bind. In this vast plain, so leeeutly the foraging ground of crabs, lobster and eels, straight roads are bordered with feathery-topped trees such i Mr-'-l-ema painted: substantial and " '-r-f.t f ir.ii !.o is..'s av.' vet: n NOTICE OP TEACHERS' EXAMINATIOX Notice is hereby given that the County Superintendent of Morrow County, Oregon, will hold the regu lar examination of applicant for State Certificates at the - Court House, as follows: Commencing Wednesday, Decem ber 19, 1923, at 9 o'clock a. ra. and continuing until Saturday, December 22, 1923, at 4 o'clock p. m.
