LAUGHS Saddened Him Sir Archibald Gelkio tells a story of a Scotsman who, much against his own will, was persuaded to take a long holiday. , He went to Egypt and visited the Pyramids.

This measure wns Introduced and supported by tho'.tackson poun ty delegation, who pointed out thai Jackson County had expended largo sums Of hioney on the Pacific Highway and that the state should show Its good faith and encourage tlioso rounties thnt liavn neon taking t no loan In this direction. The legislature evidently supported this contention tor there was little ncttve opposition. Hut since then various othur parts of the state havo been uttering mild notes of protest. Here we have the true Oregon spirit. Jackson county has spent, more than any other county upon highways. It is spending hair a million "dollars on tho state highway atone, which provides entrance into Oregon from Califor nia, yet because the Vawter bill diverts twenty per cent of the state highway fund, an amount approximating $-15,000 a year, towards the highway's completion, refer endum talk is heard. This highwa' is the principal trunk line of the state, and traverses its most populous centers. This particular section replaces a tortuous mountain toll road. Its grad ing alone has cost $130,000. Its construction is of benefit to the entire state and it should have been constructed in its entirety by the state, as the California connection is being constructed. Hut to wait until Orogon becomes pro gressive enough to build its out of reach for the present has takejj the initiative, spent co-operation irom mo state in its completion. ' The legislative appropriations and the continuing ap propriations total nearly eight billions of dollars for state expenses the eoininti biennium. Of this amount, the $90,000 asked in the Vawter bill is all that is spent in southern Oregon a little over one per cent, and about a third of what Jackson countv port the state. The balance, and for eastern Oregon lunatics, is spent in the "Willam ette valley. Yet because the one per cent goes to another part of the state, m permanent development ol the state, we hear talk of reierendum. Southern Oregon had a concrete demonstration of yis ionless Oregon when the Crater lake road appropriation, making accessible its greatest natural wonder, was enjoin ed and invalidated by the supreme court, which rules one way for southern Oregon and another way for the rest of the state. To spend $100,000 in making accessible a na tional park, where the federal government is spending a million, is a "local affair," and therefore unconstitutional, says the court, but to spend $-150,000 in building an irriga tion system that benefits acres is, according to the same court, a statewide affair and perfectly constitutional. "Wliy," asks the Portland Qregonian, "do the south pm Oregon papei-s talk of the southern Oregon counties seceding from Oregon to ;join California t Js it to roo Ore gon or to enrich California?" Neither. It is to benefit themselves. It is to get out of a state, where they arc evidently not wanted, a state with out a development program, a shite that denies a square deal, a state where co-operation is denied, a state where tjie knocker is always swinging the hammer against prog ress, into a state that does things, that co-operates, con structs and upbuilds. It lias been frequently said that it would be worth mil lions for southern Oregon to be in California, where its cjimatc places it, to escape the blight of Oregon. This is true, in a measure, for Oregon does little or nothing, and that begrudgingly, for southern Oregon's development, while the California policy is a broad and comprehensive one. But better than joining California would be the cre ation out of northern California and southern Oregon of a new state the proposed state of Siskiyou. A referendum on the Vawter highway bill is to be ex pected. The only obstacle is the expense entailed, although "Willamette valley reactionaries are usually ready to spend a dollar to check development if it will save a cent in taxes. The mere talk of referendum on such a project shows what a progressive community can expect in a vis- lonless state. When Is Your Soil (Hulletin U. S. Dcpt. of Agriculture.) WASHINGTON, J). C, Murch 15. "When U the proper time for pre paring to plant one's garden! " The United States department of agriculture's specialist Hnyn Umt in the spring its soon as tho noil has dried no that a handful when grasped in tho hand and gripped iv tho fin ger, will hlowly fall npart upon being released, it is in ri1 fit inechunieal con dition to prepare for planting, -phiv or heavy soils should nevor be work ed while wet. More injury may be done by doing this than can bo over come ii heveral years of careful cul ture. When tho oil is found dry, an de scribed above, tho upper three inches, fihould be made fine by the use of tho hop and steel-tooth rake; all rubbish, stones nnd clods should bo removed and tho surface made, even, some what compact, nnd us level as tho contour of tho area will permit. It mny then bo marked off for planting in conformity to the general plnn of. .the garden. Much of tho soil in the average back yard is not only poor in plant food nnd deficiont in decaying vege table mnttor, but it is hard and un yielding. However, such is the basis which many a housewife or child has .to nso ror the making or n gnnlen. Teachers who plan school gardens for their pujnls also uv eumlur condi put on the ballot along with tho others Commission to Bpriul "nut to exceed'' own highways, put such a road generation, hence the county its money and asked modest contributes annually to sup except a few hundred thous directly only a few thousand Ready for Planting? tions to meet. Therefore, in order to get good results, careful attention must be given to tho preparation of the soil. Soils which are naturally moist are likely to be sour nnd so not in the best condition for the crop. Whether sour or not, it will be well to have tho pupils test them, which can be done, us follows; Secure from u drug store a piece of blue litmus paper; then take n handful of the soil slight ly moistened nnd place the paper on it. If Hour, the paper will turn red. To correct such a condition lime should be used. Cover the ground with a thin coat of uir-slnked lime, which cun probably he secured near by at small cost, nnd work this jn well. The use of tho lime, while not n plant food, will correct the acidity and will improve tho physical condi tion of the soil. If tho soil is clayey or n stiff clay loam and tho location is in n Section where severe freezing occurs, it will bo found a decided advantage to givo tho area u heavy dressing od dcom posed manure in the nuuumn, and be fore freezing weathor sets in spado tho land so as to turn tho immure under und leave tho soil in a rough, lumpy condition so as to secure the benefit of the digostivo action of the winter freczqs in reducing the soils. This should be repeated annually at Hi noi'tii. U 11)0 tfoil is ' l"'ut tiud T LOVE IN EGYPT TURNED TO Mr. una Mr'. SAN FKANT'SrO. C'"l., March IS. From the pyramids to the Golden Gute, neross fen. mid continent., (he tangle of their love nnd hnte lin hevu dragged by Frank tie Haimns Storey nnd his wife, nnd now both nrv ue inp for divorce here on .similar grounds of desertion.

Storey, not long alter her mnrriiige iit Cairo, Kgypt, fol lowed her liti-buiid to N'ew York, where he had filed allegations of abandonment. Meantime he hud dih appeared. The wife followed Storey west ncross the continent, mid a few nights ago Hhc found him here in the role of an netor in u skrtcli ho had written. It wns culled "A llnchelor'H Prcnni," nnd an Mr. Storey nnt in the audience hIic hhw the woman in the piny with her tiusbiiud imprint u "at age kiss" upon his lips. After the curtain hnd fallen the polico were no tified and Storey wns arrested. When' he was arraigned, however. sandy, a mulch of manure may bo spread over it in the fall and the spading delayed until i-pring. In localities where the soil docs not freeze, the manure may be applied in tho autumn nnd the soil repeatedly spadcil during the winter whenevor it is dry enough to ho worked. The value of freezing ut tho north can to an e.xtcul be attained by repeated spadingH at the south. The one gen eral precaution which should always bo observed is never tir the noil while it is wet. KLAMATH KAM.S. Or., March HI. The tribal coim-il of the Klamath Indian reservation has appealed to tho commissioner of Indian affairs to urge a cougronsioiinl appropriation of 1,()()(J,0()0 to finance the tribe in fanning its laud allotments. The council suggcnted that the government be reimbursed bv the sale of timber owned by the Klamath Indians, which is valued at $20,000,000. It is pro posed that the money asked bo spent under the supenisinn of the govern ment. It is said that an uvcrngo value of a Klamath Indian's property is about $23,000.
