AXI) The Fair Board wish to call atten tion again to the fact that pupils who are ot club age must do project work If they expect to compete In the con tests at the fair. This Is the plan adopted in nearly all the counties in this State and also in Washington. There will be some prizes in a mis cellaneous class for those who are under nine years of age. The reason for adopting the above plan is to en courage the club work. The State Superintendent and his field workers, Mr. Maris and Mr. Harrington, and the Extension workers of the O. A. C. feel that the only way to get really valuable work done in the industrial lines, from an educational standpoint, is to have-it done along the project lines. If any clubs or individuals have not received the information sheets from the O. A. C, they should write to Prof. H. C. Seymour, Corval- lis, for them. The bulletins furnished this year are of more than usual val ue. Some inquiries have come In in re gard to the "tin can irrigation scheme" mentioned by this pape some time ago. This is a plan used by a little Jap down in Texas last year. He planted his garden in rows Between the rows, a few inches apart he set tin cans, such as tomato cans, in the ground until they were almost buried. He had used a can opener which left a sort of lid, which could be closed so as to keep the 'water which he put into the cans, from evaporating so rapidly. However, this is not essential where the water supply is not very limited. He had punched two small holes in the sides of the cans just above the bottom. These holes were opposite each other and next to the rows. The water oozed out of these holes, thus making a sort of sub-irrigation. He kept the top of the ground worked fine, form ing a dust mulch which prevented evaporation. According to the ac counts given, he raised some wonder ful vegetables. The only water which the Jap had for his garden was the waste water from the washing of hands and faces, the dish water, and the suds and rinse water used in washing the clothing of the members of the family. The part of the coun try in which he lived was exceedingly dry and hot. The scheme may be worth trying on the dry lands. a .pestilence that had raged un checked and unconquoreil for more than a century to poise its black wings and flee away; to open schools for the young; to command order and obedienc? to righteous laws; then finally steady the people to pre pare a government for themselves and then to lower its flag which in the meantime had taken on a majesty indescribable, and calling its agents aboard its ships and they wit! a final salute with their hushed thunders sailed away, make a picture grand enough to thrill heaven and earth and cause the angel of Justice to smile and the angel of Mercy to weep for joy. After centuries of misrule Spain left Mexico. Her misrule had cor rupted the people and now for a hun dred years it has been there as it was in Cuba to millions in their pover ty and want and degradation it has seemed as though there was no God to answer praf ers. But as affairs are culminating the point . has been reached when one more overt act will make It Incumbent upon our nation to repeat what was done in Cuba. It will require all the skill and pru dence of our soldiers on the border to prevent something which if it hap pens will make the people of this country demand war in a tone which no further vacillating in Washington can postpone. War is a cruel instru ment with which to stop outrages and command the right and compass justice; but the power that awakens the cyclone to cleanse the fetid air. does not hesitate when ' the hour strikes to vindicate eternal justice, to set the needed forces in motion. On the world's foundations we find inscribed on the primitive rocks the record ot how more than once that power has found it necessary to set its elements of destruction in motion, to shatter the earth's crust and de stroy all animal life on the planet, that a new beginning might be made, The inference is that this is liable to be repeated until at last a race may be produced that will be worthy to walk in God's image. In imitating these forces war for Mexico may soon become the most merciful agent through which the re demption of that land may be ac complished.

Mayor James Kyle of jjtanfield, who is seeking the republican nom ination for the office of public service commissioner, has chosen for his slogan "Encourage capital, regulate, should It become.' oppress ive." This is a comprehensive plat form, but those who know James Kyle best say he Is the one big man to carry out such a program should he be elected. Mr. Kyle has been ac tively engaged in shipping for many years, being a commission merchant in the Umatilla city. Geographically he is the only candidate from this side of the mountains and will no doubt poll a large vote in this sec tion. How to Save Two Hundred Million a Year and Insure Development of Western States, The members of Professor Motley's class In manual training held open house as it were, on last Friday after noon at the high school and during the course of the afternoon about fifty patrons ot the school called to view some of the excellent work this department has been turning out. The first three months of the course is devoted to the preliminary work, where the fundamental and basic principles of the manual arts are taught. This for the main part is the instruction In the care and handling of various tools, ot which the local department at the present time is fairly well supplied. The work on exhibit ranged from the more simple forms of carpentry disDlayed in foot stools and hall racks to the more difficult work wherein the knowledge of mortise nnrl tenon work was displayed. In the book cases and hall seats, the latest work which the boys have turned out. Center tables, work done by Henry Peterson and Chas. Barlow, are es pecially worthy of mention. For fin ishing, the class used varnish ot their own make, a cheap and simple for mula giving them an excellent stain The exhibit was a surprise to many of the patrons and all were delighted with the results which are being ob tained from this department. Another year or two and the class In manual training will be supplying furniture of the best quality to the entire town Discussing an editorial in the Spo kane Spokesman-Review under the heading, "Railroads want Water Power for Electrification of their lines," the writer gives the one great reason why all our water powers should be developed. He refers to the saving annually by the CUlcago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad by the use of electricity as over the use of coal of over $1,- 200,000. The writer further states that If all the western railroads were to use electric power they would use $50 000,000 worth of electricity per an num, making a per annum saving over coal of $129,600,000 In other words, if the water powers of the west were allowed to be de veloped there would be saved per an num narly $200,000,000 in coal In the one item of railroads. If the other industries of the west use as much coal as the railroads i there would be another $200,000,000 coal saved annually or an annual For a hundred years Spain heaped saving for posterity of $400,000,000 cruelties unspeakable upon Cuba, in coal for the west alone Three generations died under the be- j It begins to look as if the coal bar- lief that they had been forgotten; ons have something to do with the that there was no more a God to an- ' fight on our water power develop s-wer prayers. ! ment.

A western community elected the local undertaker trial justice, chiefly because he had more ltesure than any other citizen; but the new judge took his position very seriously and soon made a record of never dis charging any accused person who was unfortunate enough to be brought be fore him. Not long ago a prisoner was ar raigned, charged with forgery. "Well, Jim Brown," snarled the judge, "what have you got to say for yourself- Are you guilty or not guilty?" "Why, judge," answered the pris oner, '"course I'm not guilty. Why you know yourself I can't even write my own name.' "Nothing to do with It," barked the judge.
