The Soldiers Orphans Schools.

1t 10 said that tho Soldiers Orphan
3 chool Commission will be compelled TO
reject many applications for the admission
cf children Of soldiers into the Soldiers
orphan schools, because Of insufficient
room to accommodate them. The aggre-
gate capacity Of the four schools under the
supervision Of the commission Is about
1000.
This is owing to the failure OF the Legis-
lature TO appropristss 1926, 900, the amount
sksd to provide additional room to the
Industrial School at Scotland. and thus
abandon the other orphan schools. The
appropriation should not have been with
held, and was lost simply bscause there
was no one on the appropriation commit
tee sufficiently interested to insist upon
Il.
The schools at Uniontown, Hartford and
Chester Springs will. therefore, have to be
continued at least two years more. Un-
dor the law all destitute children of former
soldiers or sailors are proper subjects foi

For Home-seekers.

An effort is being made to reclaim
some of the arid lands between Cello
and Umatilla. A large tract of fine
land has been opened up by the Bailey
Ditch Company, which has about nine
miles of ditch completed, and water
covering about 1000 or 5000 acres. They
will rent these tracts to persons who
wish them. and furnish plenty of water
for one half of the produce raised. The
lands are on the Columbia river, few
miles above Coyote station, and the past
season the company has cultivated about
100 acres, and has raised some of the
finest garden truck that ever grew in
this section of the country; and for
fruit-raisers the climate and soil cannot
be excelled. Transportation and freight
rates to all desirable points for market
are reasonable and fair. Can ship to
the Sound. over the Northern, or into
Montana over the Great Northern, or
Spokane over the o. r. & n.
The outcome of the enterprise will be
watched with great deal of interest.
Further particulars can be had by ad-
dressing the Bailey Ditch Company at

The annual meeting of the New York
State Bankers Association was held in
New York last week, and several papers
were read and discussed. Ellis H. Rob-
erts, ex-deputy United States treasurer,
SAID, among other things: "There is
just now considerable discussion as to
what congress will do about the finan-
cial question. If one could learn the
earnest demands of the bankers of this
state and country, it would quickly in
dicate along what lines congressional
enactment should proceed. I am afraid
that. the bankers are not ready . for
mulate their demands. There certainly
seems to be lack of unanimity of SEN
timent. 1t is regrettable that no scheme
has been broached which would COM
mand the support of the majority of the
bankers. 1t is the duty of every banker
to create q sentiment as to financial leg
islation which will finally lift the coun-
try's finances from the present level"

COMMENT FROM OREGON AND
WASHINGTON EDITORS.

Eugene Register: Salem, with the
enterprise characteristic of the town,
will probably soon rebuild the woolen
mill. 1t is to be hoped, at least, they
will not be so long in rebuilding it as
Eugene was in rebuilding her Touring
mill. The loss was heavy one to the
Willamette valley, as there are few
enough manufactures in Western Ore
gon.
Walla Walla Statesman: From pres
ent indications the fruit-growers' con-
vention, which is TO meet in this city on
December 10th, will be gratifying sue
cess. A large attendance is promised
from many points in Washington, Ore
gon and Idaho. Our citizens should
manifest their interest in the enterprise
by giving the delegates hospitable
welcome, and attending the convention
in large numbers.
Puyallup Commerce Retrospecting
the year and its results, there are sug
gestions that the barns are filed to fat
ness with golden grain, and the hope
and promise of better things are potent.
There are those who sorrow, because
from the beginning the laughter of the
joyful has rung out amid the cry of
hearts made desolate. At this season
sered, fallen upon the ground, betrodden
under foot of man; but&he naked trees :,
through which the chilly blast of the
west wind now means, shall, with the
warming days of spring, put on new
beauty and freshness. So the days that
are to give assurance of peace to spirits
that may be troubled. The night comes,
but the glad sun is on its course, and its
rays will spread life and light upon all.
