IT JIHillT be well in this suiJereharm'd atmosphere, to east a reflec tive eye upon our fields and orchards and gardens, l'roperlv di rected the result will he eloquent with refreshment, hope and cheer. Kor in spite of a scorching summer, both politcally and climati cally, there are green orchards heavy with fruit, there are alfalfa lields, rich and green ready for cutting, there are truck gardens and corn fields defying the drougljt, and destined for a beautiful harvest. The answer is water. AVhcrevor there has been irrigation, the farmer and rancher wear smiles that won't come off. But for this pesky and pestiferous railroad strike, which President Harding is now exerting every effort to settle, the agricultural and horticultural outlook would, under the circumstances, be almost inspiring. If any people doubt this let them take a ride over the valley and pick out the districts where water has been available. Then let them look over those districts where water has not yet been secured. The contrast cuds all controversy regarding the value of water and its necessity. We haven't accurate figures available, but as a general proposi tion, we believe it may he safely claimed that half the total expense of irrigation will be balanced this year, by the increased value of crops, that in some instances the entire cost of water will be paid, by the returns, which water alone made possible. Just look the valley over, in the cool of the evening. Not only will your spirits be revived, but this hectic squabble with which this com munity has so long been afflicted, will withdraw to its proper per spective, it will be seen that while its essential seriousness can't be disputed, that fundamentally it is a passing phase and the Rogue River Valley, well and sound, is marching steadily on ta.its proper destiny.

I represent the newly. .rich, uncb having elain 'berod from the ditch up to a high ostate t want tho whole blamed world to know that I have every kind of dough piU down in keg and crate." My house is like a large hotel, and in it stately foot men dwell, a butler from abroad; witli jeweled tools I swat tho flies and all is done to advertise that I've a wad. My socks are brought from far-off France, and London tailors make my panee, my neckties come from Home; and yet, with splendor all around, I heave a sort of doleful sound, as I sit in my home. For all my efforts don't impress my mossbaek neighbors, I confess, and hence my weary sigh; those neighbors watch my trail of smoke and seem to size me as a joke, and smile when I go by. Old guns who sil in shabby nooks and paw the leaves of ancient books look on me with disdain, and residents whose only pride is that their dads for freedom died, observe me with a pain. With such a bank account as mine, with all around mo sleek and fine, my life should be a song; I am the man who cuts the ice, I am the one who has the price, nnd yet I don't belong. I By Fred l.ockley) Judge Colvlg's story Is here con eluded. A feature Is his account of his career as writer of local histories In eastern states and how he became such in the first place. His later career., after .his return to .Oregon, is traced' In, detail. . ; !' H - -.'1 ' -j. ; Judge William Colvig of Me'dford, came to Oregon by ox team in 1851. "After Dotting, in three years In the army,!' 88,1(1 Judge Colvig, "J was dW- cnarged at . Vancouver in 1S had saved over $700 and so I decided to see something of the world. I went to San Francisco, where I took passage aboard the steamer Moses Taylor for .Nicaragua From there 1 went to New York City. When I counted my money a few days out from Now York City I found I had $4S0. Just before arriving at New York city I looked again and found my $480 had been stolen. My total capital was $1.75, so my plans for taking" in the sights of the metropo lis went glimmering. As a matter of fact, I didn't have enough money to get a room at a hotel. .-, "Taking my revolver and some of my other possessions, I pawned them and raised $40. I went to Wheeling, W. Va., In search of work. . Not suc ceeding In. getting a job, I .went to Ohio, where I struck a Job. drilling an oil well 14 miles from Zanesville. We struck lubricating oil at a depth of 300 feet. ' From there I went to Burning Springs, W. Va., and helped drill the Louis Wetzel well. Wq struck oil, at a depth of .1750 foot. That became one of the famous pro ducers of that district. 1 landed a Job as expressman, .later wor. ed on a steamboat, ,and in the wlnte.- of 1867 I got a job on General Joe Shelby's plantation in Missouri. He had 1200 acres In hemp. Most of !i's workers were negoes. After a whila he made me foreman. "I saved my wages there until I had a few hundred dollars. I de cided il would get an education. Al Fremont, Tazwell county, 111., I found a little college called the Fro moiit Collegiate institute. I went to school there, and when my money ran out, Colonel Aquilla Dav!., a relative of Harvey Scott, gave mo a I'.b as school toachcr. Everyone in that county called me 'Oregon Bill,' because I talked so much aboui he b'&utlos of Oregon.

', ' : In the spring ofvl873, aficr t. y scl"jo was out, I went to Bloom'ng- ton. 111., to land a Job for tho 8 . -mcr.' The Job failed to materialize it is strange what a little incidt ' will ofteti change' one's whole life. I Pave always been ' very fond r Shakespeare. As I passed down the tlrt'-l after supper I saw a sign in front of the theater to the effect that !d:n Booth and his wife, Aj.nc: Booth, were to a.'i.ear that n'.ht u: 'H;mlet.' I iion 'n the play V.s: r.,ht and gr :i enjoyed It. 1 no next day I went to Peoria In search if work. Tlia night as I wr.lk. n down tho Btrcet I saw the Booths wore appearing there In 'Hamlet,' so I decided to invest another quatter and take it in. The man at tho tick et office told me all of the seats were gone and all he had left Was a box at $10. Naturally I did not fueUjke investing ' $1 0. As I stood there a prosperous looking ; inan stepped cj to the window nnd asked for a tick et. . He was also .told that all.sibts were' Bono! and that there was noth ing left but a box at $10. Pulling out a roll of bills, he peeled off a $10 bill and said: 'All right': I'll take a box." Turning to me, he said, 'I'll havo lots of room In my box: don't you want to occupy a seat with me ' I accepted with alacrity. He said: .My name is Captain A. T. Andreas. I am president of the Lakeside Pub lishing company of Chicago. What Is your name and where do you hall from?" I told him my name was William Colvig, that I was a teacher. and was looking for a Job during the summer, lie said: 'How would you like to write up the history of the old pioneers? I am getting out a state history.' I told him that was theJ very Job I would like. He hired pio on the Bpot at a very satisfactory salary, r ; At Mansfield, Ohio, f ran across Judge Itrinkerhoff,. who had a won derful memory of the early days and who had tiles of the early pa pets. I camped right at his place and secur- od tho data 1 needed. I have always writ ton a good hand, so I wrote out tho early history of tho county and sent it to Captain Andreas. He was delighted with my work and per suladed me not to go back to teach: ing. He made me advertising mana ger tor tho Btate histories he was get ting out of the states of Iowa and Minnesota. I worked with him for the next year or two, with profit to myself as well as to him. He sent me to San Francisco as manager of the Pacific Publishing company. After staying at San Francisco a while I came north to Jackson county to visit my people. That was in the fall of 1S75. . In the spring of 1876 1 visited all the old pioneers of Santa Clara and Sonoma counties In Cali fornia, and got out county histories. "That summer 1 came back to Ore- jgon and campaigned for Tilden.
