Water Question.
Hood ltlvor. There Is great re
joicing among tho farmers of Hood
Klver, and tho thousands of people In
tho United (Hates who have come to
look to this little garden spot of Ore
gon for their big red strawberries,
need worry no longer about their
supply of fruit, for the crop thin year
will bo larger and better than ever.
Tho water question, which has been
cauHlng tho farmers so much trouble
the past three weeks, Is practically
settled, and tho Irrigation ditch will
hereafter belong solely to tho faTmcrs.
To pay for the ditch and mako nec
essary repairs to Insure a supply of
2 i00 Inches of water will require an
expenditure of about $(10,000, equal
to 2,000 sharer. Where farmers are
pot prepared to fa sh for water

made to secure loans from the state

London, Feb. 24. The Nagasaki
correspondent of the Dally Telegraph,
cabling under date of February 22, re
ports that the Japanese squadron has
captured four Russian torpedo boats
at Fort Arthur by using Russian
signals. This dispatch appears to
confirm reports from various quar
ters of a fresh attack on Port Arthur
by the Japanese. The report reached
Nagasaki from Chefoo, and It adds
that the Russian crews of the four
torpedo bouts have been transferred.
No other news of this attack has
been received In London, but the
Crefoo correspondent of the Morning
Post, in a dispatch dated February 22,
says the statement is current that the
Japanese torpedo-boat destroyers in
the attack on Port Arthur on Febru

battleships, In addition to the torpedo
boat already reported.

Purchasers of Umatilla Timber Land
Sell Wood Wholesale.
Pendleton. Charles Wllklns. agent
at the Umatilla Indian reservation,
nays that during tho past six months
there has been wholesale consumption
of timber on ceded lands, which prac
tice Is a violation of the laws. The
lands were sold some time ago In 40
ncre tracts at $2.25 an acre, but the
purchasers were informed that it
would be unlawful to convert the tim
ber into wood or lumber until two
years after the date of sales.
It Is said that many have paid but
little attention to this stipulation, and
ecently have sold large quantities of
wood to Pendleton dealers. One man
lc said to have delivered 800 cords
of wood to a fuel firm of Pendleton
slnco last fall.
Mr. Wllklns says the timber lands
are out or his jurisdiction, ana ac
cordingly It Is not within bis province
to prefer charges against the alleged
violators. The lands are In tho dis
trict governed by the Itnd Office '
t-it Grande and It will be for the I .and
Inspector to Investigate the Irregularities.
A great deal of apprehension Is felt.
It Is believed that mnny prominent
amount of their wealth. Some wish to
avoid heavy taxation and give false
returns. A not tier man may have made
his money In a business not commonly
aupiKised to lie especially lucrative and
he does not care to have his aflluence
blazoned forth to arouse competition.
There are also some rich politicians,
but It might arouse suspicion if they
stated the exact amount of their
wealth. And there Is another class
the men that have their piles in call
ings that might be frowned upon In
the circles they wish to enter pro
prietors of gambling-bouses, saloon
keepers, owners of dives and other re
sorts. They don't care to have others
know how much they have accumu
lated.
"So while It is Impossible for us to
tell exactly how many millionaires
there are, we would not take the num
ber of those who are known to possess
a thousand thousand at least, and then
multiply the number by ten. For that
U what Senator Do pew seems to have
done in bis anxiety to urge Mr. Rock
efeller's young men to get rich."

There were three of them, and they

were all talking at once, as Is char

florist poked a bunch of violets under

nice on lady dress."
"They are pretty," said the young
thing. "How much?"
Tbe Greek smiled w ith courtly grace.

"Three for seventy-five?" asked the
girl with lightning calculation.
Three for a-seventy-flve if my lady

The bargain was clinched, and tbe
three young things were arranging the

who bad been wearing a pu.zled ex

said:
'It ut h It oughtn't to have amounted
to seventy-five tents. Didn't he say
twenty cents a piece?"
There was an awful silence while
the three young things laUirlously
worked the problem out Iu mental
arithmetic. Then Huth. with her
checks all aflame, turned to the smiling
Greek.
"You'vt overcharged me," she said.
"It ought only to have been sixty
cents."

he said with a Chesterlleldlan wave of
his hand.

Ry some observers shyness Is at
tributed to vanity, or to self-consciousness;
others, taking quite a different
view, attribute It to dltndcnce or hu
mility, or to an anxious desire to be
loved. We confess that we hsve often
baited between these two very opposite
opinions. At last we bare come to a
conclusion which has at least the merit
or demerit of being entirely our own.
We believe that shyness mainly pro-
eei-ds from the d.wlre of lelng under
stood. There Is nothing thst mankind
or womankind desire m much as to bo
understood. We like thone who under
stand us. To be understood Is the
great o t delight of every human being,
and the pa union descends Into our mil
tact with society. There also we tin
Ire to be supremely understood. All
oor shyness proceed from a fear that
wo are not umlcntiod by flume by
whom we happen to be surrounded al
the time.
