WAON'HIt, N. U. WALK bill, 117 THE ALL-IMPORTANT PROBLEM Till' PORTLAND TELEGRAM rails attention to the fact that a proper system of drainage Will convert the Willamette valley into the richest aprieiiltural area of similar size under the sun. "Within the boundaries of the valley lie 3,(XM),(X)0 acres of agricultural land," two-thirds of which could 'he -doubled in productive power by drain age. That, in effect, would be adding 2,000,000 acres at the present standard of production to the ' agricultural lands of western Oregon. The Telegram laments the fart that nothing has been done by the people of the Willam ette valley to take advantage of then' opportunity, and laments the lethargy and lack of progress shown, " i " The Willamette Valley, tho much larger, is not Us fer tile, not as prolific proportionately as the Rogue River valley, which has superior soil and climatic resources.' In the Rogue River valley the one thing needed to make it the richest and most productive valley for its size on the coast is water yet but little progress has been made in solving the problem. ' ':''"' The necessity of irrigation here is self-evident.' One has only to compare the yields of irrigated and non-irrigated tracts. One has only to walk thru the orchards and alfalfa fields of the watered and unwatered tracts to real ize that the water is worth as much as the land, much of which, without the water, is valueless. ' " ' ' We expect sloth and inertia in the Willamette valley, where ultra-coiitservatism has always successfully fought progress. We do not expect it in the Rogue River valley, where the people have led the state in progressiveness.' ' The Telegram says: "There is really no excuse for in action or for the lack of public interest in this great con structive work to be done in the Willamette vnllcy.' ; Tlte reward to be gained by the people of the valley, by the people of the state, is ample." Likewise there is no ex cuse for continued inaction upon irrigation in the Rogue River valley. ' ' ' '" " ' " ,;' We have all experienced the bitter fruits of lack' of water meagre yields, crop' failures, depreciated. values and hard times. The remedy lies in our own hands; If we have not sense enough to apply it, we deserve the results, for in tho Rogue River valley, as ye water, so shall ye harvest. '' ' ' r ; " " " ROOT AND 17 LI11U ROOT has alwavs polities: Robert M. La Follettc has represented pro gressiveness. Hence the Mail Tribune opposed the forincr and supported the latter. . . ' " Now, however, the country is at war and' patriots have forgotten partisanship. Greater issues are at stake :thah local politics the existence of democracy, the life of the nation. He who places petty partisanship above patriot ism is a mighty poor American. Root has honorably represented his country iii Russia and shown that he passesses a high type of patriotism as well as the sympathy for the oppressed that distinguishes a true democrat. Real Americans are proud pf him. La Follettc has proven th,at his sympathies are with the en emies of his country, with the autocracy whose creed is the oppression of humanity and hence is a fake democrat. Real Americans are ashamed of him. As Mr. Root, the conservative statesman, saj's: "As sure as the sun rises tomorrow, if this war ends with the triumph of Germany, our people will be a subject nation of the German ruling nation." Yet we find Mr. La Fol lettc using his position and influence to oppose needed war measures, to create division and discontent at home, to keep the nation from prosecuting a vigorous and success ful war and doing what he can to aid and comfort the enemy, lie could not do more if in the employ of the kaiser. No wonder he is heroined by German sympa thizers. La Ft die tie's course has chagrined and astounded his supporters, alienated his following and blasted his future. All the excellent work he has done will be forgotten and only his sedition remembered, for Tho evil that men do lives after them, ' Tho good Is oft interred with their bones, j . LOST BY CRUELTY LONDON", Aug. 8. Four Ameri cans wero lost on tho British steamer Belgian Prince, who was sunk on July 31, by a (lermnn subinnrlno. One American is among tho survivors. Thirty-eight of tho rrew of the Hleamer wore drowned nnd three oth ers were roscucd by a putrol boat and token to a British port. Tho surviv ors soy tho submarine shelled the ves sel, after which tho commander or dered tho crew to tnko to the boats nnd go nlnngHldn tho submarine. Ac cording to the survivors, tho Germans removed the lire belts nnd clothing from all the crew except eight, smash ed tho 11 fo boats with axes, then re entered the submarine and closed the hatches, leaving tho men on deck. After traveling on the surface for sev eral mites, the L'-boat submerged. The Americans who lost their lives were William Crlssey (or Hughes), .1 a mi's Shew, Thomas (illmorc .Mer rick, Massachusetts; Ben Csln, negro. Norfolk, Virginia. The sole American survivor Is William Snell, a negro. The American consul at a llrlllsh port today heard (roin his lips the story of the murder of the crew. MEDFOKTT-MATD TRIBUNE, v SrEDTQTtD; iOREflCVN LA FOLLETTE represented stand-pattisnt iri I SALE OF HONORS LONDON, Aug. S. A lively discus sion arose In the house ot lords last night on alleged scandals connected with the distribution of honors. The Henri of Selborne, calling attention to tho bestowal of honors In return for contributions to party funds, moved that hereafter tho reasons for rewards should be published and the premier, in recommending recipients should satisfy tho sovereign that no payment or expectation of payment was asso ciated with tho recommendation. The house came to no vote on the subject Supporters of the motion, Including Huron llerosford and Karon I'harn- wood urged the adoption ot the Amer lean system ot auditing nnd publish lug party funds, Baron Berestord sold that a large portion ot the money went not Into party funds but Into the pockets of those who offered the honors for sale. lie added that this war would be fa tnous for the large numbers of honors anil awards betsowed upon people who had foiled disastrously. Karl Carson, government leader In tho house of lords, admitted the grav ity nnd Importance of the subject, but thought tucru was exaggeration. CHURCHES TO AD. . AiSII! ! l -.

" , , Th full social, power of (ho. 70, 000,00(1. jwoplo organized ''in the churches and their auxiliary . soci eties, is one of the lutant resources the nation has lonif neglected. : Ju these organizations there is n capacity for teamwork, a moriil pur pose closer to tho life of the people than any political institution. From the church to the home ore channels of communication' tho gov ernment docs not possess. To harness these forces to food conservation is the first step in the program of co-operation between the government and the churches: This work has been intrusted to Georgo A. Cullen, railroad man of New York, who has eome down to' Washington to put it over. ; , : ; . . . . He has met the representatives of nearly every .religions denomination and mapped put a plna by wliich the churches nro to keen up the enthusi asm for food saving, and keep tub on the actual results in every home. : 1 lends of the young people's or ganizations, the denominational ex ecutives und accountants, the relig ions publishers and others hnvo come to Washington to link up tho gov ernment nnd the religions forces. .... , While church co-operation in food conservation is the first practical step, it is only the beginning of the churches' work, i , The first cqnorete tiling is n sys tem of weekly reports from house wives, .to bo handed in to the churches when the plate is passed on Sunday. Tho . accompanying report blank will be supplied i by ' every church to nil its homes. These weekly repoi'U .will be for wnrded to denominational headquar ters, tabulated and forwarded to the secretary oi u national loou rcpon committee, appointed for 'each de nominntion. The results will lie sent to the food administrator nt Wash ington nnd published. Every pnstor, priest or rnbbi will put his full personal appeal behind the movement, and the rivalry of the different bodies is expected . to in sure nation wide Saving of food stuffs.

All mystory about John Longer DeSaulles Jr., the four and a half year old son of Mrs. Blonca DeSaulles, who shot and killed her divorced husband last Friday, when he refused to give up the child to her care, was cleared to day, when he was found In the caro of G.

Counsel for Mrs. DeSaulles was ex pected to make an appeal to Mr. Heck scher today that, the mother, who Is confined in the county jail here, on a charge of first degree murder, might be allowed to see her son. Should this appeal fail, it was said, legal ac tion probably would be taken. airs.
