GKTT'U irrigation is only half tho hnttlo. Making it pay in Ihc
other and more important halt'.
The decision to have u series of irrigation conferences in Jackson
county during the winter is, therefore, nu excellent one. Not only
the proper use of water, on different soils, the proper arrangement of.
inside ditches, etc., Imt what crops are nest suited to conditions in
this valley should ho emphasized.
Water will mnloulitcdly place orchard property for the first time
on a permanently prosperous basis, but considerable acreage w ithin
the district, is not adapted to fruit. What crops therefore, should j
be concentrated upon becomes a question of the very first importance.
The best men in the state along this line will address the irriga
tion conferences. Hut the meetings can only be a success if they ro
largely attended, and the best business! and agricultural ability we
posses is available for the prompt and proper solution of the problem.
Irrigation is today everyone's business. Its success is ns import
ant to the business man as tho rancher. The people of the valley Ss
a whole should, therefore, unite upon making irrigation a complete
success; for only by united and harmonious action, can complete
success be attained.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
ConftreH.t has turnotl down tho pica
ot China for grub. I'niike Uustsia,
China was llot a RJ ruanor ilurius
the war. nor a couv.toteat hellraiscr
afterwards. Neither have the leaders
of China e?er announced their one aim
in life W be the destruction of the
American form of soveronient. Yet
they have the gall to ask for assistance.
THREE years ago today Theodore Koosevelt died. Since his death
there has been a steady growth in bis prestige and funic. Men.
v ho cursed him, alive, have fallen over themselves to deify him, dead.
This is natural, no doubt, and strengthens one's belief in the even
tnal justice of things, lint a certain over-emphasis of the deification
busiuess is to be deplored, for it softens and sentimentalizes the true
Uoosevelt into a meaningless and unreal abstraction.
The dominant note of Roosevelt was bis vital, robust humanity.
He was no frescoed Saint, lie had faults, many of them, but they
were- the shadows of his virtues, the faults of a strong, earnest Man
Foolish to exaggerate them, but let's not forget them. For they,
in a subtle sense, strengthen ones natural respect and admiration by
the bonds of genuine affection. .
Good Old Teddy! Not Theodore the Great.

Oh! yon Medford fellows,
V'ho are looking for a wife,
Why don't you choose Home Products,
It's a lot less strife. '
There are many homegrown women,
Who would take you on a bet,'
And would let you have an interview.
Without that luring net
Here I am for Instance,
And there's the girl next door.
And if you're growing Interested
I could name yon many more.
I am not yet 36,
In fact, a decim less.
But I wouldn't take your money.
And leave you In a mess.
My hair is not so curly,
Neither is It black.
But I can sew a button on,
In front or in the back.
I have no Montana ranch,
Or pure, blue-ribbon stock.
Though I caa bake a biscuit.
That Is cousin to a rock.
My feet are large and heavy,
Which would hold you down.
And my famous disposition
Can't be. matched in any town.
I only hare a few housand,
What elsse I will not tell,
. But if you feel inclined to write,
.Address me LONESOME NELL.
