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.

funeral benefit, and an old age pension. There Is no forfeiture
clause la the passbook, and It Is under the owner's control at

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

government' requests nro fnvurnblv
viewed by the Association, a list of
these miscellaneous matters can read

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..
