We were given a ninety-mile, automobile
trip yesterday through the Langell valley and
Horsefly irrigation projects, and have a num
ber of impressions to air.
The first impression is of miles and miles
of sloping hills and crested mountains in all
their original glory of forest and sage, of far
away crests in snowy blankets, of purplish
haze overhanging the distant view, of sturdy
junipers, of splendid Oregon pine.
The second impression is of rich fields of
virgin loam, loam not heavy enough to ever
form gumbo, not light enough to blow away
or be easily exhausted, but brownish black
for want of better color names and sweet
looking, with none of that sour looking dank
ness that makes many midwestern soils so
(hard to work successfully. Soil that will ap
preciate the long-awaited draft of water, yet
v never was truly dry.
cals that make for vegetable life, soil that you
would like to feel between your fingers, soil
; even that you would like to tread barefooted,
soil of promise such as lighted the eyes of the
i, first weary travelers of
soil. ' '' ! " '"' ' :- ' ' ' '
. An impression, too, of hopeful industry, of
new settlers imbued with faith in the soil, with
faith in the system for watering provided by a
generous government, in the opportunities for
marketing, and in themselves.
k Impressions of careful engineering work,
of far-sighted planning well executed, of pub
lic moneys well spent, of facilities in produc
tion just waiting for the hands to turn them to
account to make the land yield rich harvests.
An impression of good trunk railway and
highway transportation, needing extension
,and improvement, of course, to keep pace
with the growth of the community agricultur
ally, but eminently superior for a district so
new.
Of incomparable opportunity for a start in
life for the man of little means. With land
ready to take the water at hand, needing
scarcely more than a plow, disc and seeder to
put in a crop, offered at the ridiculous price in
many cases, of twenty dollars an acre land
that five years hence will be worth five times
as much.
A total impression of inspiring natural
beauty, of bountiful richness scarcely touched,
of generous provision of every fundamental
facility essential for production and transpor
tation, of opportunity unlimited.
The citizens of Klamath county cannot
fail to catch the vision of her coming great
ness. They cannot fail to preach the gospel of
her future to all who will listen, even to those
who will not listen. .' There can be no question
that the great Klamath country is in very truth

What's in a name?
Very little in our own. if the
truth be told. ' Anjr other prob-'
ably would have done Just at well
and. carried us every bit as tar as
the one we happened to be christ
ened. Why not? Among us
"white folks" a name is nothing
more nor nothing less than a
necessary means of Identifica
tion a sort of tag that prerents
fate from permanently mislaying
us in life's check room. It hasn't
a thing In common with what we
do or bow we do it.
Babe makes his debut into the
world of affairs and Is ticketed
Perclral or Heieklah or plain
John, as best suits his ma's and
pa's fancy. When Percival turns
ont to be pug-nosed and pugna
cious and altogether unromantic, !
and Ilezekiah deserts the faYm ,
and forswears the ministry for a j
Job as chorus man in a musical
comedy, and "plain John" grows
op not plain at all, but danger
ously charming and reckless with
his wild-oat sowing, it is too late
to do anything at all about the
hastily bestowed misnomers.
As a race the red men are not
ao previous about such import
ant matters.
Literally as well as figurative
ly, an Indian is known by the
name he bears. Good, bad or in
different, it suits him. He has
Justly earned it!
Endearing though it may be,
what his family and friends first
call the little papoose does not
much matter. But there comes
a day when with all childish
things the youngster must put
this aside and make a name for
himself, a name that for the rest
of his days will set him apart
from his fellows.
Mrs, Ernest Thompson Seton
relates an amusing Instance of
how a certain young brare gothls
name. A buffalo hunt was staged.
The 1 (-year-old boy was glren
his chance to prore himself. As
he started out with the older,

Our Name!
seasoned hunters, vainglorlously
he boasted of his valor and his
skill. When he arrlred at the
scene of action his valor was
manifest, but his skill was some
what strained by the fury of the
buffaloes, the hcary dust, the
noise like thunder. In the midst
of the milling herd the young,
ster, determined though confused,
took aim. Twang! went the bow.
An arrow whizzed to Its mark,
but not the mark. Uninjured, the
buffalo aimed at thudded by; an
other buffalo fell In his stead.
'And from that day until he passes
to the final resting place of his
fathers that young brave who
shot and missed will bo known
throughout the breadth of his
tribal lands as the "Other Buf
falo." It is one thing to have a name
wished on as. It would be quite
another to win it. If custom were
reversed and we a well as our
redskin brother had to make our
name and wear it as a symbol of
our character and achievement
what effect would this have upon
us? We wonder!
Suppose good sportsmanship Is
a quality on which we are 'short.'
Ever since , we were very young
we have made it a practice to get
our own way by fair means or
foul, bullying the weaker when
wo could, tricking tho stronger
when we had to anything to
gain our point. Wt know tho
fault that la In us.but we've hid
den it from other people' more
or less successfully. Probably
the only ones with whom we
haven't 'gotten away with it' are
our long . suffering co-workers.
Suppose, however, that when we
were very young we risked being
branded some day to the world
at large as "the woman who
wouldn't play fair?" Would we
have clung to, cultivated our sec
ret vice or would we hare rooted
it out, stamped upon it and In
Its place planted a trait far more
pride wort by?
Fear In our heart! Few of us
would choose to be revealed as
cowards. Rather than take the
chance of showing tho "yellow
streak" In unexpected trial, while
there was yet time we would
probably substitute courage.
And so on, ad Infinitum. We
moderna cannot afford to be too
scornful of primitive ways and
means. Often these, In their very
simplicity, afforded quick and
sure solutions of certain prob
lems that a, higher civilization,
(ripped by Us own complexities,
finds eternally baffling.
Dinner Stories
William was not a faynrlto wllh
his rich uncles In vain did he try
to Impress him, but the old man
'was not Impressed.
One evening the young man
called at his uncle's house osten.
slbly to ask after the old gentle
man's health. In the course of
conversation he asked:
"Uncle, don't you think it
would be rather foolish for me to
marry a girl who was intellec
tually my inferior?"
"Worse than foolish, Thomas,
my lad," was the reply "worse
than foolish Impossible!"
A maid employed by a well
known actress approached her
mistress one day and said, "I've
lost my Instinct, miss!"
"But," said the actress, aghast,
"you must be mistaken. You
can't have lost your instinct."
"Oh, yes, I have, miss," repeat
ed tho girl tearfully, "I can't
smell anything at all."
A wife once complained lo a
clergyman of her husband's un
satisfactory conduct, when he
said to her:
"You should heap coals of fire
on his head."
To which she replied:
"Well I will. But I tried boil
ing wator once, and that did no
good."
