By Arthur Perry.
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. ' .()' f :' V.

OSTENTATION.

I LOAD my aunls wilh preeihus stones', I hung vich furs upon
their bones, and send them through till! town; "The fact that
I am heeled," I say, "with coin cuoitgli to, load a Ufay, must havo
a wide renown. 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.

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

that county called me 'Oregon Bill,'
because I talked so much aboui he

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

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

I accepted with alacrity. He said:
.My name is Captain A. T. Andreas.
I am president of the Lakeside Pub

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. All
of jmy people are republicans. I was
the only democrat In our family. In
1878 I ran for the Oregon legislature
on the Democratic ticket. There
were two wings of the democracy
that year the Pinto3 and the Bour
bons. ,'i I was defeated by nine votes.
