optioned the Kouruo River Canal Company property to
construct a large irrigation system and furnish water for
irrigation purposes at .oO an acre, with 20 years in which
to make payments, with an annual maintainanee of 'J.fiO
per aero is a most reasonable one, is shown by comparison
with prices and rates charged in other localities.
A Californinn. who wishes (o trado an oranno urovo
near "Riverside for a Rogue river orchard, writes as follows
concerning the water supply:
Thcro is n $10,000 imuipInK plant belonging to 100 acres of land,
which represent 100 aliares, one- share with each ncre sold with tho land.
The plant runs by electricity and pumps 30 to 33 Inches of water.
AS near as I can ftr,uro tt Will cost In tho neighborhood of $6 or T

is pronounced cheaper than water under the ditch system.
Tho San Diego Flume Company charges were former
ly $120 an acre in advance for water and $( a year niain
tainance with not to exceed one-half California miners
inches of water for each ten acres. In dry years, the
amount supplied was cut in two. The rate has since been
raised and it costs even more, with land much poorer in
quality than any hi the Rogue river valley.
It the Jxoguo river valley had poor, miserable barren
soil like Southern California, that would not grow anything
without water, the entire valley would long ago have been
under irrigation and its output thereby increased tenfold.
But the soil is rich enough and there is moisture enough
t6 produce a partial crop in the dryest years and the fart
that some kind of a crop can be produced without water
has been the curse of the country and delayed its intensive
development a decade.

:V irold reserve in the Imperial Hank of $1175,000,000 and
a "war fund" of $90,000,000 is the aim of the government,
which was taught a lesson by the withdrawal of deposits
by foreigners in the Moroccean crisis in 1911.
Since 1S74, $30,000,000 has been rusting in idleness in
the "war chest" at Sandau. It itf now announced that
$60,000,000 more is to be withdrawn from circulation and
placed with it. Naturally the German people think gold
is the only money worth saving and are withdrawing it
from circulation and hoarding it.
The reserve fund in the Imperial Bank approximates
$200,000,000. There is about $35,000,000 new coinage
added annually. This new coinage is not to be put into
circulation, but added to the reserve. Paper money or
"green backs" will take its place. Under the laws, three
dollars of paper monev can be issued for every dollar of
gold on hand, which would give a total of $(515,000,000 on
hand for the crisis.
Whether any nation can long support an army of a
million men and immense nav, and withdraw a constantly
increasing percentage of its gold from circulation, is prob
lematical. It is a policy that sooner oi later spells ruin
and is most apt to briifg about that very condition it is
ninipil to nrevent at least so the lessons of history teach.
Germany's war lord seems to be creating a burden
greater than the nation can bear. Ho himself, with his
obsolete doctrine of divine rights, is an anachronism and
his army is a primitive fuedal survival into a democratic
age, fuedal not only in conception but in actual organization.

How can wo better pay our high
taxes, limn by lettiug'our hcrvicos to
the htute if not to receive Rome of
(he mictu salaries given for useless
work to out down or do nwny with
theo "fat" jMsitions. I refer to the
state school for feebleminded. Hun
dreds of dollitTs-per month in squand
ered. Excerpt from my sister's personal
leUer need no comment. She and her
husband, graduatu nurses from a
state honpital for the insane, hnve
been employed in Oregon S. I. F. M.
several cars.
"If I ever Imvo any influence in
the political world I'll use it to do
uwuv with this hchool (for feeble
minded.) I believe in tho stnto fur
inuhing them n home but the 'chool
ling" is nil a farce, jtibt nn absurdityl
You (nor do nny taxpayerW,- I sup
jMiho) lmo no idea whore tho money
U hpent in kecjiing up just such silly
nonsensical a thing' ag n "school for
such as- these."
"Is! it worth wliHo fiponding n life
time trying to educate them, who
never can ho of miy benefit to the
world or even any better fitted by
such trying? I never yet knew one
who could go out unci make bis own
living. There nre great strong boys
folding along in school who should
bo out working on the institution
farm earning their keep und learning
something that would bo far moro
useful for them if they should ever
bo placed out in the world dependent
on their own efforts.
Those who work nt the cottages
spend from 0:30 a, in. till 7 p. m.
(with sometimes V hour off during
tho day) teaching them to care for
themselves, uid in dining rooms, do
laundry work, cto., for which servico
(hoy receive $30 per month (men
$lJ..r)0.)
"Sec the injustice in paying largo
salaries to'tho'lerteudrs'in the school
who go to work nt 8:30 n. in. and
nre free at 3:30 p. m. with about
two hours noon. The kindergarten
teacher looks after 13 children 4Va
hours u dny with two days off it
week. All have board, room, laundry
etc., furnished by you taxpayers.
''It just makes my blood boil to
to school and dress these children
ns you cannot afford to dress your
own. They have three times the
(follies of ordmnry children. Of
fconrso the state furnishes gingham,
but O dear! They must bo just so
to go' to this school! If thcro were
any real good come from it, it would
be different, but there is none unless
you cull getting up nnd being made
u regulur fool of by swinging dumb
bells, etc. und going through it dunce
everv Tuesdav iifcht, worth it. If
jicoplo wibh to be entcrtuined I imag
ine they would prefer a. higher fcort
than theso could give. .
"I am Biirprifeed nnd ennnot uiider
sjlnnd why n stnlo should innintiiin
stieh a school and thus burden her
tnxpuycrs
"Can nny ono cite n pai title of
real benefit derived thcro from?"
I present these thoughts for tho
earnest consideration of all who must
help stop this- waste of funds.
Ilespectfully submitted,
