The growtli. development and prosperity of the valley is dependent, largely upon water. The hankers set this forth and should lead the way ly signing up all their stoekholders. If we want to interest eapital, we must increase the productivity and output of the land. We must utilize the idle tracts and douhle the production of those now farmed and the only way to do it, is by irrigation. If we want to make a surety of tho iuterurban trolley line, we must guarantee it tonnage by increased -production, which comes only from irrigation. If we want to double the population, wc must make it possible for people to live on small tracts, which can only be done by irrigation. If wo want to raise values and maintain the present values of our lands, we must justify this valuation bv in creased production, which can only be done by irrigation. If we want to insure our orchards ami farms against failure from drouth and insure our crops, irrigation is essential. "We have got to come to irrigation some day, every one admits it, and the longer we delay it, the worse for us.' We only spite ourselves and depreciate our property by delay. The Pajaro valley, California, with one-sixth of our area, offers an instance of what water will do. Last year. "Watsonvillo shipped G000 cars of apples, 123 carloads of dried apples,. 20,000 barrels of vinegar, 1-10.000 chests of strawberries, six carloads of canned strawberries, and many carloads of apricots, sugar beets, potatoes, onions and other products. There is nothing grown in the Pa j aro valley that cannot be grown better in the Rogue River valley. There is no reason why the Rogue River valley should not grow and ship much more than the Pajaro valley ships. The soil is just as fertile, the climatic conditions just as favorable. 3ut two essentials are needed water and industry. The Rogue River valley will become far more populous, tar more productive, far more famous than the Pajnro val ley, because its natural soil and climatic advantages are far greater, its natural resources of greater variety and extent, and its area of cultivable land far greater but the initial step for this development is irrigation, and until thu entire valley is under water and the wiUer in use, the valley will remain in the A B C of its development. "With irrigation will come the subdivision of farms, with water will come intensified farming and diversified production. "With water will come population and pros perity. EIFERT'S HARA KIRI. "The Logging Professor' HE Mail Tribune regrets the stand that Mayor Hifert lias taken attempting to use the uuthoritvof his of fice to build up a personal political machine, .lie might expect opposition, not only on the part of the council but also on the part of the people. He has only himself to thank for the opposition which he is hiiusulf creating with every fresh move. The mayor's attack on the public market was unjustifi able and unwarranted. He lost public sympathy and sup port when he made it. He is losing it every dav he con tinues it. The charter gives the mayor no authority to appoint committees of investigation unless authorized by the coun cilyet Mayor Eifert assumed this authority and the re port resulting is a boomerang to his assertions. It proves conclusively that it is worse than folly to attempt a change fn management of the public market. The city engineer's office is usually immune from pol itics. What has politics to do with engineering skill and ability? And if an engineer has made good, his familiarity ivitk conditions and improvements already existing are an asset to the city. Realizing this, changes' in municipal en gineering departments are rare. R. II. Thomson was city engineer of Seattle for a quarter of a century. Andrew Rosowator was of Omaha for a longer period and numer ous instances might be cited. There is no complaint against Mr. Arnspiger. Tt is admitted that he has made extensive improvements satis factorily and is conversant with the situation. There is then no reason for his removal, save that the mavor wants to use the city's offices to pay political debts. The majority of the council are to be commended for the stand they have taken against the conversion of the city hall into a political machine. Mr. Eifert represents the 27 per cent of the votes he received the council the other T.i per cent. Before election, Mr. Eifert published the following pledge: "If elected, my lime and services will always bo available, to tho public aud suggestions and criticisms will at all times receive most careful consid eration. When over It Is apparent that the majority of our citizens aro united In opinion opposite to my individual views, I will yield to tho ma jority, regardless of my personal uplnlous." The petition presented the mayor, and public sentiment ought to convince Mr. Eifert that it is time for him to ''yield to the majority, regardless of personal opinions." Mr. Eifert should live up to his pledge and not commit political hara-kiri. (Datlns ObeHncr.) A bill hiK been lulnHlurrd In the Ifllthdnttiro to approprlulo nmn $0a. 000 to oiuilo a protocol' ot IokkIuk at tho agricultural roUoKC. Now 0t In aomvthlng like It. our youtm uuni will bo able to acipilro practical knowledRo of an ImltiNtry that will be ot very material benefit to them In the days to come, one which they can utlllio from a number of different point of view. Of course. If the) rvnlly detdre to take up hucIi a meth od of inakluK a IIvIuk. they could Ket a Job with "Old Cut-l.oiW up on the l.ncklatuuto and he eoutd tearh them lit a few weekn what It would tnko tho college proriwsor maybe a year to do, and prolmbb earn a Rinall wage at tho same time. Hut the otudent would not have the benefit of environment at the muno time, lie could not belong to the football squad, the glee club, nor any of the fraternal societies; neither rould ho acquire tho college o!l. or haw tho benefit of the mysterious Influence of the roods on oung life, which many times leads to Vancouver aud afterward to the dhorco eouit. Again the college needs more pro fessors. 120 Is nut enough. It dors not cost any more to collact double the tax wo are now payliiK. and many of our bright )oung men could ac quire professorships for various thing. Kducatlou at our large col leges la being ueitleuted In different was a. For luMunro, wo would be wllllim lo wager that but ory few ot our otherwise learned fit'shinou, Hophmorca or upor classmen really could nripiitliit us with the difference between geo and haw, nor rould they probably let us know the right side on which to approach a cow for milk ing or to get on or oil a horse. Not ono ot them could probably touch their grandmother how In pluek a goohii, and many would prove defi cient In hitching up a team, although they probably could run up no auto as Hwlft hh the next one until ho Mio coeded In In eaklniC up tho umohluo. There Is no question but more edu cation Id the crying need of tho times, and that wo should have more edu cators lo proiwrly Instill tho minds of our jouug men. Wo especially need more loggers. TJioso now lo lis hud are too tincrttnlii. They of course know their business, but on nay day they are liable to fly the coop aud suspend work until the ef fects of the morning after are over, A college man would be (liferent. When you put him on tho mountain side he woUld probabl) know no more about felling u tree than he did be fore ho took the eolege course, hut with his superior mind ho could soon Invent some way In which tho trees nud logs would come to hand without labor, and thus ronseno all needs, (live us a logging professor.
