To tie extravagant is to spend more than one's income justifies, and to overlook the claims of the future in gratifying the demands of the present. Thousands of us are so extravagant at Christmas that we pay the penalty in inconvenience and imbarrassment during the rest of the winter. To sound a note of warning, to intimate a caution, is to make one’s self unpopular. The fact is that there ought to be a good deal more independence on this whole subject, and that people should have the courage of their conviction* in the matter of Christmas presents. To bestow a gift on one we love and to make children beatifically happy is a beautiful thing and in consonauce with the real Christmas feeling. But by de gree* the custom has grown and ampli fied until it has become burdensome, and a good deal of the heart has gone out of it. A good time to make a start is the present. Eliminate from the Christmas schedule the name of every one to whom you were intending to send a perfunctory gift, or a gift that you supposed might be an exchange. Next, decide definitely how much you can rightly spend, and limit your gifts to that amount. Then, leave out the grown people, and lavish your Christmas bountv on the children— uot only on your own children, but on the poor and the desolate.—December Woman's Home Companion.

JACKSONVILLE GIRL WINS Miss Peter Wins Prize Offered By Baker City Commercial Club For Best Letter. The Development league of Baker City has devised a unique way of adver tising the resources of that community. Each of the children in the higher grades of the school agreed to write, and send a letter to some one in the East, telling about the resources of Baker City and county. The folloing letter was written by Ruth Peter, who was a seventh grade pupil in the Jacksonville school last year. This letter was chosen for publication in the Morning Democrat, of that city, out of a list of two hundred and fifty. As the writer had attended the Baker school less than a month at the time of writing the letter, it goes to show that the quality of work done in the public schools of Jacksonville compare favor ably with that done in large and more pretentions schools. Baker City, Oregon. Octobers, 1904. To the Honorable James Wilson, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir:— The people of Baker City, who know the wonderful resources of our great west and realize the ignorance of Eastern people regarding our section, have organized a Development League and have asked the pupils of the gram mar grades to write to some person of prominence on the Alantic Seaboard, thinking this the best means to spread the knowledge that we feel sure Eastern people are anxious to know. I have selected you as my correspond ent because I feel that you being the head of the agricultural department, more than any other, are interested. The resources of Oregon are second to no state in the Union, and Baker County in some respects is the best county of the state. Our mines of gold surpass those of any other portions of Oregon. Scarce ly a year passes without several persons becoming wealthy and every year there are new discoveries in both quartz and placer mines. For the want of money much of this mineral wealth remains un developed. Before this, the mines and cattle rais ing have been Baker City’s chief source of wealth but during the last year the attention of the people has been called to irrigation, thereby, greatly increasing our agricultural wealth. Baker County has the best land to be found anywhere. All that has been needed to make it one of the principal farming sections of the Union is water. Men that have taken out ditches from the various streams that abound, have become wealthy in almost a year. Des ert ¡and bought from the government at one and one-fourth dollars per acre, with a few improvements and the using of water that can be got, is worth £50, and in manv cases has been sold to Eastern people at £75 and £100 per acre. One hundred and sixty acres of land bought from the government for £200 in a couple of years is worth £8000. So fertile is the soil that three crops of alfalfa are raised in a season. In Eagle and Pine valleys, fruit unsurpassed for size and flavor is grown and land in these farts can not be bought for £100 per acre, eaches, pears, apples, cherries and ber ries are grown. Thousands of acres of just such laud can be gotton from the government for almost nothing. Then, if few owners of this desert land go together, build reser voirs so as to use the waste water they will soon be wealthy. Trusting this letter will bring some one to this "Land of Plenty,” I remain, Yours truly, R uth P eter . Hotel for Sale. In a Rogue River town.
