FRIDAY, JULY 23. 1909. TIIK CltlTIC CltlTICISKlt. A CJem of Poetic Prow Kruptid Knmi the Depths of Killlorlal Kmotlou 81(1X111 l'p In Mcilfonl. It doe one's soul pood at times tn loosen up the restraining strings or conventionalism anil jrt away from the all-prevailing commercialism of affairs In general. The Milfonl Trib une editor recently Indulged himself In a slmon-inre burst uf Inmost feet' fag that Is worth)- a place among the gems of English literature. An anonjmuus communication Is ever an object of contempt. P.nrt'ly Indeed arc they of Interest. Yet one has come to our desk .which Is of passlug Interest owing to Us subject matter. Its wrltir rays: "Your reader would he far bet ter satisfied If )ou would cut the sentimental gush which occasional ly fills )our editorial column. I refer to jour Issue of July 5, and there are many other Instances, and confine jours-lf to topics und problems of tho day. I speak not alone for msclf, but for many of )our readers." The writer signs himself "An Ob server." The editorial In question Is ono having to do with the value of a vaca tion. Doubtless the "many other In stances" refer to similar editorials which have appeared from time to time In this column. Evidently "tho topic and problems of the day" so far as "An Observer" la concerned, have nothing to do with the ripple of running water, the hum of bees, tho songs of birds. Rather tbey have only to do with the strug gle and strife of the modern actlvo business career, with Its continual quest for power and gold. May heaven pity the man who goes on year after year piling up a fortune, missing opportunities to add to his happiness, allowing competitive busi ness to dry up his sympathies and tighten the bands round the heart until he recognizes not that a day In the wood Is of benefit a a restora tive; that tho topics and problems of the day are not all of life; that an anonymous letter Is a thing of con tempt! So long as a man live he should hope to preservo that spirit which leads him to commune with nature the source of all that Is beautiful and best. A unuestcred nook where tho tnll trees shako shimmering shadows down, where tho perfume of (lowers steals In upon the senses, where the song of the birds and the hum of In- ects creeli through the tangled w Id wood, and the glint and glenm of the sun on the back of the trout as ho leap to catch the carelw fly these lime as much to do with llfe.as tho topics and problems of the work-n- day world. Probably "An Observer knows nothing of tho glorious peace nnd Joy of the flower-clad slopes. across whose undulating bosom sweep tho summer winds, perfume laden with the boneved breath of many flower, rich In the tonic tint soothes the tired nerves and rests the dust-clogged brain. There la no time for such nonsenso while there Is trade to be acquired and competition to bo conquered. "An Observer" needs our smpathy. We are far more fortunate who see about u the fields, the streams and the forests, and there find freedom from the dirt, the grime and grind of tho modern business field. Umntttln Indians nrc rounding up a big band of Horses for shipment to Montana. A generation ngo there was not much on the Umatilla reser vation to be rounded up except horses nnd Indians, but In the change that has taken place It Is somewhat sur prising to learn that there are enough ponies left to demand the services of one hundred Indian cowboys for the roundup. The Indian cayuse Is one of the hardlesi members of the horse family, and for his weight Is hard to beat for any kind of work. Ills val ue, however. Is not sufficiently great to permit $100-per-acre wheat land being used exclusively for grating purposes, and the Indian pony Is dis appearing because the land from which his sustenance Is gained Is more valuable for other uses.

Wow is the time to open as account with the The, I lint Trait and Savings Bank IIOI'SOVS AXSWKU ItKCKIVKO. (Concluded Front First Page.) tors of the Association. Several ot theso havu not been satisfactorily re fctitiKrrlbtd. Other subscription con taining a condition were made. All of these matters so far us tho lands affected nro within tho limits pro posed to tie Irrigated should be at tended to and vnlld subscriptions l.iado and iipproved by tho directors. At this time It Is not deemed netes miry In go Into these matters In de tail, but If the general outline of the government' requests nro fnvurnblv viewed by the Association, a list of these miscellaneous matters can read ily be prepared with the help of the lecretnry ot the Association. (lit I am nimble lo state nt thin time what the estimated rust pr acre for tliu reclamation ot the Upper I'rojwt Mill lie. tiurvevs aio In prog ress, nnd estimate of cost will pioli nbly be completed within n few months. We will probnhl) consider the reclamation of the lauds In ques tion upon two cost bases, (1) with the lleeknian, Katston nnd condi tionally subscribed areas omitted, nnd it) with theso lands Included It Is my desire when these estimates shall havo been completed to submit them to the consideration of the As locution and tho settler. It Is plain that the cost of water rights In the Upiwr Project will be much more per cere If the Bcekman, Itatston and other land now uniubscrlbeed re main out. than If all Irrlgablo lands should come Into tho project. I would like tho settlers thomsclve to decide by a voto after they have the estimate oi cost wnctner titer want work to go ahead on the Upper Proj ect or not. For my own part I will frankly stato thai I will recommend that all plans for development of tho upper rroject be given up If the set tlers so desire, and would further recommend that In such a case all stock subscriptions under tho Upper i-rojeci oe canceled and tlio lands re leased from obligation. It should be distinctly understood, howoror. that I am voicing my own opinion only and cannot commit the Director or the Secretary ot the Interior on a matter ot general policy of this na ture. It I my present belief that me unsubscribed lands In tho Upper Project will become subscribed short ly after the estimated cost ot tho work shall have been announced. I base this belief on tho necessities of the Upper Project lands for water at any reasonable cost, nnd tho fact that no land owner can afford to withhold from large areas of prospectively val uable property It only practicable betterment. Kconomlc reasons will, i irusi. constrain an lands to become subscribed or Induce purchasers pre pared to subscrlbo tho lands to secure possession or sucn as still may re main oui. In tho event, however, that the es timate of cost prove reasonable and the settlers declare themselves satis fied to bear tho prospective building charge I would be prepared to rec ommend construction of tho Upper Project even with tho unsubscribed lands omitted. (c) My belief at present Is that tho cost under tho East branch will bo about 30 per acre. Conditions fixing the cost of water rights for these lands are supposed to bo Iden tical with thoso of tho first unit, and unless tho unforeseen occurs and tho East branch canal construction devel ops unexpected difficulties this cost should obtain. You will understand, howover. that this Is only a general opinion based upon approximate es timates. Tho cost that will bo fixed by tho Bccreetary of the Interior will be baied only on actual cost a as certained at the time. (d) I cannot make, any statement In regard to the cost of water rights under the West Side branch, leading from the Upper Lake to Keno. Wo havo met many unforeseen difficulties In obtaining rights-of-way and tho necessary franchise; moreover, It Is poislblo we may have, to radically alter our plans for this canal. Tho area under It Is small, howover, and I would especially llko to seo tho work beaun. ns it ! n rin, m iri.. ath Falls.
