ElSWWiriSRK iw lmnktM-s of iModronl apponl lo (ho
farmers ami fruit rowoi-s (o sii;ii up Tor water so
thai an irrigation system ran he eonstruetetl.
The advice is excellent. 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.

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

There Is no question but more edu
