THE INDUSTRIAL CTl'RS
THE COl'XTV FAIR.
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.

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

On the world's foundations we find
inscribed on the primitive rocks the
record ot how more than once that

its elements of destruction in motion,
to shatter the earth's crust and de
stroy all animal life on the planet,

The inference is that this is liable to
be repeated until at last a race may
be produced that will be worthy to

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

A western community elected the

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

unfortunate enough to be brought be

Not long ago a prisoner was ar

"Well, Jim Brown," snarled the
judge, "what have you got to say for

"Why, judge," answered the pris
