IRRIGATION QUESTIONS.

Oregon, like Montana, is engaged in
the general discussion of irrigation leg
islation. The Raley law adopted in that
state two years ago, provides for the IN
corporation of private companies, gives
them right of way and power OF condem-
nation, and protects the rights OF water
consumers by reserving the power OF the
legislature to fix rates. Some develop
ment of the country has followed the
adoption of this law, but many hold
that it does not go far enough, and want
a measure like the Wright law OF Cali
fornia, which authorizes the formation
of irrigation districts, the people OF
which may elect boards Of directors with
mower to issue and sell bonds, to con-
struct irrigation works and assess all
the land benefited to pay interest on
the bonds and maintain the works.
The Oregonian, in discussing the pro-
posed changes, points out defects that
the workings of the Wright law have re-
vealed in California. 1t says, directors
elected by the population of irrigation
districts are not always good business
men. 1t has often happened that the
first series of bonds issued failed to COM
plete the work contemplated, where
upon it was found difficult to sell second
mortgage bonds, and the system re-
NAMED unfinished and useless. There
ia now demand for amendment of the
law SO as to permit the contract for the
entire work to be let at once, the con-
tractor being placed under heavy bonds
to finish and turn it over in working
order.
eff the Wright law works badly in
California, it would be quite impracti
cable in eastern Oregon, where the con-
ditions are much less favorable. In the
San Joaquin valley, where the expert
ment has been tried, for the most part
level land and abundance of water make
the expense of constructing works com
paratively small; while proximity to
large market makes the redeemed lant
? extremely valuable and so able to bea
easily the burden of taxation for inter
est and maintenance. One competen
estimate places the cost of irrigation i
this part Of California at $40 per acr
and the value of the redeemed land Il
$50 to $50 per acre, while placing tn
, cost of irrigation and the value of re
! deemed land in eastern Oregon at 81
and 1926 to $40 respectively. This is
r wide difference against us. It is a sis
y nifcant fact that the state OF Washing
n ton adopted the Wright law two year
L ago. retaining on its statute books tt
e old law permitting incorporation OF pr
vate irrigation companies, and that
steps have yet been taken TO utilize tt
o former, while several considerable e
It terprises are operating under the latte
. The conditions existing in eastern Was
ington are almost precisely Ike those
eastern Oregon, and very different fro
it those which prevail in California"
J. 1t is evident the Wrightlaw has fall
far short Of the expectations of the pc
a pie of California. Numerous amen
ments to 1T have been introduced at t
present session Of the legislature of tn
of state and the discussions of the questi'
will prove of interest to the people
is other states who have not advanced
IL far as California in this matter.

The latest effort of the republican
ORGANS to extract comfort from the re-
turns OF the late election consists IN re-
iterating the statement that Mr. CleVe-
land had clear majorities in only four
teen states, and in the others when
gave him their electoral votes he had
only pluralities. True enough. But
how does Mr.. Harrison fare IN such
comparison? Well, he carried exactly
seven states by majorities, and o OF
them we're little ones, too.

THE GOLD QUESTION.

WASHINGTON. April 29-No better indi-
cation of restored confidence in the finan-
cial situation is necessary than the fact
that DO gold exports were made from New
York today. and it does not appear now
that any large amount will go out on
Tuesday, and perhaps none at ali.
Gold offers continue TO be made, the last
city TO offer assistance being Little Rock,
Ark, which sends 500 900 in gold to be ex-
changed for legal tenders.
The statement OF Secretary Carlisle that
every effort Of the administration will be
eXerted in the direction of a repeal of the
Sherman law is regarded here as an anti
silver edict. and the announcement has
aroused and placed on the alert the free
silver advocates. The latter assert that
they are ready for battle, and everything
promises IA lively silver fight in the next
congress.
New York is no longer the gold center
of the country, SO far as the gold in
the national banks is concerned
remarked Il prominent treasury official
this evening. ''She has been playing
great game OF bluff and trying tc impress
the world with the fact that she can en-
barrass or relieve the present situation as
she pleases. As a matter of fact there is
less gold i'll the national banks Of New
y ork than IN Chicago, and the gold center
is west of the Alleghanies. Mr.. Carlisle
is now in Chicago, where the gold really
is, and will hold a conference with tn G
leading bankers there"

WHAT Is MONEY!

Weighed against that health it so often
fails to buy? Dross indeed. While we
can none of US claim total exemption
from that greateat of all ills to which flesh
is heir-ill health, we may do much to
lessen the chances OF incurring it, and this
not alone by the adoption of such sanitary
measures as are to be found in daily exer-
else, regular hours, prudence in eating and
drinking, and a wholesome diet, but also
by resorting to ludicious preventive medi-
cation when the system is threatened by
unhealthful influences. For Instance
residents or soJourners in malarious local
tiles should use Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters as a defense against chills and
fever, and persons who incur much out-oJ-
door exposure should employ il as a safe
guard against rheumatism. Travellers in
the tropics find 1t invaluable also as a
means OF arrestiug liver complaint and
and counteractIng the debili-
tatiDg influence of torrid climate.
