The altitude of" Four-Mile lake is 3800 feet, just J000 feet above Fish lake. The dam at the latter lake is a massive structure, the rocks used in the base of the retain ing wall being so large that thev had to be handled with powerful derricks. The earth fill is xovy heavy. The tenacious clay for the puddle core was hauled a mile. The dam was built a quarter of a mile from the lake shore in a narrow depression practically on a level with tho water surface of the lake at an average stage. 1 1 will store water to a depth of twenty-five feet, but will later be raised an other twenty-five feet. From the hike the water is carried sixteen niileS in the channel of the north fork of Little Butte creek to the in take, at which point it is diverted into, the canal system. Near Fish and Four-Mile lakes is Lake of the Woods, which lies too low on the Klamath side of the divide to be utilized for Kogue Htver valley irrigation. Tho greater part of its flood waters, however, can bo utilized for .Fish Jako by diversion ditches. These lakes, nestling in smiling valleys of verdure at Ihi) foot of forest-clad slopes, with snow-capped Mount J-oughlin towering above, are surpassingly beautiful and mum rucrumiuu spots joi' summer vacations. i nmnrnmuMmnrMKiiy mm i ii m ii I I I1 11 1 1 iii uumnwiouiy ur i . . .

The Portland Oregonian, with its own infallible logic, reverses this judgment and gravely announces "that pov erty is not the cause of vice: vice is the eause of poverty." Moth statements are true in a measure the latter in a more limited way than the former. One might just as truly say that the drunkard is the eause of the saloon instead of the saloon being the cause of me (irunKarti. If is true that poverty does not lure the strong female character to vice any more than the saloon -tempts the strong male character to drunkencss. Hut both lure the weaker characters. Poverty produces most of the misery of the world. In directly or directly it produces mentalinoraj and physical weakness. The illy clad, scanty nurtured, poorlv educated child of the slums, reared amid squalid and vicious envir onments, does not develop the strength of character neces sary to withstand temptation, and fheir miserable off spring are even more poorly equipped without competent parental training or vigorous mentality. jmi oi us are products ol heredity and environment. Most of the world's crime and vice is due to ignorance and feeble-mindcdness, degeneracy and parental incompet ence, due in turn to poverty. Hut n great deal of immor ality, if not created, is at least perpetuated bv wealth, for the idle rich also produce degeneracy and fcebU-minded-ness. The real fause of immorality is social injustice, the great cause of poverty, to remedy which we must rebuild our civilization upon a foundation that gives to every indi vidual that which he produces, and only that. 3 tltV W.

The Uiilnlgnled Lot 1 Six ncros of thi amo tract, plant ed to corn, bonus and melons, pro duced nothing. Not only did tho soil refuse to yield a penny's worth of harvest to holp pay the taxo on It. but it cost the renter a soason of 'work for which be recolvcd no re ward. Had it been Irrlaated, thus onllvonlug the soil grains, by chemi cal action, to produco plant food for 1bt growing crop, It should have yielded a harvest or $080. The ren 'ter and the owuor lost that amount uf money through Inability to wntor tho IhiuI during the crop-growing Reason. The problem Is, therefore, resolved Into this simple propesition: Tho wntor noceary,to Irrigate thi slx iici'e tract was north $U30.

I feel sure that we in lottth- eni Oiegou cnlcrtaiat ideas akin to our northern neighbors. I believe iliii i nn opportune time for uk to demand h change in the policy of the local theater. Anyone rending thi; iidverlihemenU would come to the eoueluiiou that the diffeteut Iiouoei were enmpeting n. to which tint could oioeure the ino.-t uggetie title mid M't'iicN.

Now I umiutniii that a picture which w harmful to u child of ten years i even moie injurious to u youth of sixteen, bceausu tlie hitter Is more capable of interpreting tho sugges tive scenes. Tlie ''movies'' can be made either helpful or harmful to a community. 1 believe 1 am voicing the opinion o( the groat majority of people in the valley when I say, let us demand pic ture of a higher standard. 1 take the liberty of suggesting this motto to the Medford theaters, "to interest, to elevate aud to amuse." If this motto i adopted and such pictures procured as will he in harmony with it, no one need he forbidden to enter.
