CITY I REVELRY
! IVIODERNIZf
WASHINGTON, D. C, Feb. 1.
Tjiirty days by carnvnn from Con
stantinople, near tho Persian fron
tier, in Turkish Arabia, and removed
1o the westward but fifty ruiles from
tho Gnrdcn of Eden, man's birthplace,
stands the once splendid city of rev
elry, ancient Bagdad, for centuries
tho capital of tho Mohammedan
world, and now the second city of im
portance in the Ottoman empire.
Withered by its riots of pleasure, nn
ensy prey for Mongols in 1258, gen
erations asleep and behind-hand, tho
spirit of modern progress has recent
ly taken hold there, and from ltugdnd
tho flower of the Turkish array, of
ficered by young incn of highest mili
tary and scientific training, is pur
suing nn invnsion of Persia. In ono
of n series of studies of lands af
fected by tho war prepared for (he
National Geographic society, Freder
ick and Margaret Simpich describe
the city of Caliphs as it is today.
On lUilht Side of Itlvcr.
Bagdad, they say, is built nn both
sides of tho river Tigris. On the west
bank is tho old town, with streets so
narrow that it is often impossible for
two donkeys to pass ono another in
them. The new town, with its gov
ernment offices, barracks, consulates,
prisons and great government nrmj
factory, lies upon the east bank.
Around, as far as the eye can reach,
stretches tho vast, flat, treeless,
empty plain of Mesopotamia. Twenty-five-
thonsnnd Turkish soldiers nre
stationed nt Ilngdud, and this divis
ion of the Ottoman army apparently
is as well trained as the model war
machines of Europe.
Tho older houses arc hnddled to
gether, bo.x-hhuped, with flat roofs,
and almost windowhws. Arabs spend
the sultry summer nights on these
flat roofs with tomtoms, flutes, wa
ter pipes, and dancing women. Banked
with flowers, fragrnut with scent,
rythmic with eastern iiiumc, the roofs
of Bagdad in the days of its luxury,
when it bore tho distinction of being
thq most recklessly wicked city in the
world, presented nightly broad acres
pf wildest rovolry to tho cloudless
heaven. The license, tho indolence
and tho insecurity of old Bngdnd are
gone. Today, tho city is ns commer
cial in its spirit ns New York. It has
a largo foreign trade; is n distributing
center for all tho country around.
Bngdnd s becoming more business
mid loss romantic the hard riding,
fit ice fighting rioters of former days
Inning gono forever.
Modem Methods.
Modern methods nro creeping in
with modern business. The bazaars,
however, are conducted the same as
(hey woro in tho time of Marco Polo.
They are held in struofs like tunnels,
arched with brick to keep out the
heat, and are faintly lighted, surging
with experts in intensive haggling,
thick with stifling air, mingled in
wjich ure all tho distinctive, discom
forting odors of tho past, a potpouri
of all the agonies of smell. The iudi
viduul shops arc no larger than tele
phone booths. Tho shopkeepers sit
cross-leered within, their wares piled
high around them. Tho shoutim; of
of few rivals tho nowo of an' Ameri
can fair grounds, "Appease your
mother-in-law," tho flower vender
sings, out, nnd the other salesmen are
as rhetorical.

THEIR OPPORTUNITY
SOiMM of our citizens bopouio very enthusiast it and get.
mighty busy when it eonies to killing a project, of any
kind, hut never do anything along creative lines. They
waste tieir energies in destructive, not in constructive,
work. "
Lately, if a person tries to do anything, no matter what,
for eonnimnity betterment or development, he is at once
assailed by this element, his motives impugned, his charac
ter assassinated, his assertions distorted, even though he
be only trying to find a way out of the slough of despond
and the valley of despair.
Those who, merely from altruistic, motives, devoted
time and energy to formulating a new charier, with no pos
sible selfish motives, were bitterly assailed and maligned,
principally by those whose own selfishness blinds them to
anything but selfishness in others.
Similarly those citizens who have devoted .weeks of
their time, spent money and energy freely in the securing
of acreage for a beet sugar factory, for the benefit of the
entire region, a remarkable display of public spirit, mot
determined opposition and even abuse from those who
would be most, benefited. t
Those who have been worst maligned, however, are
those who, acting upon instructions of a mass meeting of
property owners suggested the district irrigation scheme
as the best means of irrigating the valley, putting it up to
the people for discussion. If they had bben criminals they
could have received no more discourtesy, more abuse or
invective and all because they showed public spirit in
bringing before the people a possible solution of a prob
lem that has got to be solved.
The irrigation question has to be solved, and solved
soon, or else the Valley drift back to its former condition,
supporting a few thousand people instead of ,0,000. Pre
vious efforts to secure water by long-time payments failed
opposed by the same people who oppose the district
plan. They admit irrigation is essential, but fail to show
how it is to be secured.
One thing is certain irrigation costs money. It can
not be secured for nothing. It
the cost to most of the property attectcd. lnle a crop
is certain in a wet year, it is a certain failure in a dry year,
and problematical in any kind of a year.
The business man who can increase his business by en
larged facilities docs not hesitate to borrow the money to
secure them, and makes the new business pay it back.
Irrigation must be treated similarly by the farmer it en
larges his output and the increased output will pay its cost.
Will the destructive statesmen who have knocked every
irrigation effort made kindly outline a plan for valley irri
gation? There will be a mass meeting Tuesday at the
public library and they are asked to formulate some
project.
ANOTHER MAILORDER MELON
D
UHING the past year the
nrofit enoutrh out of his
ered himself lucky. Many failed to break even.
Scarcely a merchant but carries a large percentage of
his customers on his books, tiding them over dull times.
The home 'merchant is usually a good citizen he pays
taxes, he rents buildings, ho maintains payrolls, he contrib
utes freelj of time and energy in public-spirited moves for
the community betterment, and gives to church and
charity.
During the past year, when the Oregon merchant has
had such hard sledding, what have the mail-order houses
been doing concerns which pay no local taxes and do
nothing for any of the communities they drain? They
have been very prosperous. They have taken so much
money out of Oregon, never to return, that they have
established branch coast houses in the large cities, to se
cure the advantage of carload shipments across from Chi
cago to coast terminals, and the benefit of zone parcel post
rates to customers.
While the Oregon merchant was carrying his customers
along during hard times, much of the cash in the country
was being sent to mail-order houses. The following dis
patch speaks louder than werds:
Chicago, Jan. 30. Directors of Soars, Itoobuck & Co. recommondoil tho
payment of a ?20,000,000 Btect: dividend to holders ot ?40,000,000 common
stock of tho mall-order corporation at a meeting hero today.
Tho now shares of tho 50 per cent dividend will bo Issuod against an
accumulated surplus of approximately J23. 500,000. a largo part of which
lias been reinvested In the buslne.s, It Is scld.
Tho recommendation adopted by tho dlroctors provldod that the dis
tribution should bo nmdo April 1 to Mockholdera or record March 15. A
special meeting of stockholder was callod for February 'J3 to approve tho
board's recommendation and to oto on a plan to Increnso tho author
ized amount of tho corporation's common stock from $40,000,000 to
$00,000,000.
At a time when all the stocks of all legitimate, well-conducted
enterprises are falling in value, due principally to
the paralyzing effect of the huropean war, the mail-order
stocks continue to soar. Why shouldn't they, when fifty
per cent dividends are declared and it becomes necessary
to water the stock fifty per cent to make the dividends
appear smaller? '
If the money sent from each locality in Oregon to the
mail-order houses was spent at home, Oregon would be
prosperous enough. Unless the people wake up, how long
will it bo before all the business of the state is done by tho
foreign mail-order houses, whose paralyzing effect can be
traced in dying localities and languishing industries?

The Knocker's Prayer
Lord, pleaso don't let this town grow or valley develop. I've
been bore for many yours, mid during that time I've fought every
public improvement. I've knocked everything and everybody.
No firm or iudhiduttl has established a Iiumihws hero without
my doing nil 1 could lo put them out of business. Ni man ever
held public office that I have not called n grafter. l'e tied about
everyone, and would have stolen from them if I had the courage.
I have done all I could to Keep tho town from growing mid the
vnlley from pi ottering, nnd have never spoken u good word for
anyone, as thou knowo-d. good Lord.
1'vo knocked hard and often, Whenever I saw anyone pros
poring or enjoying themselves, I've stalled something to kill the
iiuiimws or spoil the fun. Whenever someone tried to start some
thing I've done tnv best to throw cold water on it. Po t'oueht
irrigation in any, form, lest it make tho valley productive. Po
knocked the fruit business and lied about the orchards. I've
knocked the beet sugar factory and kept my ueipiuiutunoos from
signing un acreage, lost they make more than I do. I've knocked a
lumber mill and all other enterprises trying to put life into the
community lest someone eke makes something.
Lord, I've never bought a thing in town that I could get from
n mnil-ovder house. I've poisoned my neighbors' dogs nnd fed
my chickens on his garden. I'm against building a new church
even though I give nothing. Yet, in spite of all 1 can do, I am
nfraid the town is growing. Some day 1 fear 1 will bo called upon
to put cement walks in front of my place, and who knows hut
what T may lime to help keep up the slice's that run by mv
premises? This would be more than I can bear. It would cost
me money, though I have made all 1 have right here. Then, too,
more people might enme if the town grows, which would cause me
to lose some of mv pull, for when times nio dull the knocker
comes into his own. I nsk. therefore, to keep this town nnd val
ley at n standstill, that I nmv continue to he one of tho chiefs.
Gic us this dav our dnilv gloom; strengthen initio mm nnd
leaden my hummer, that the blows may fall more heavily upon
mine enemy, Progicss. 0, Lord, there has come into our midst
those who seek to foster progress and industry upon us that shall
mukcth us to labor and sweat, and Thou knowest that Thv servant
hast never perspired sufficient in lot lhoo many ,vcur to irrigate
the moss that .so flourished! on his back. Spare us, O Lord,
these innovations tltnt we may vegetate and hibernate in sweet
sloth. Amen.
