With open mouth, uplifted, drink in the

And ne'er before had | beheld such

Their leaves and petals glistened, like
the jewels OF a queen;
The grassy beds in which they grew,
were swept by crystal sheen,
And in remorse and conscious shame,
felt my head bow low,
Beneath the heaven-sent reproof:
Rain makes the flowers grow"
That little speech went to my heart and
made me bless the rain,
And bound me TO that baby king, with

God bless that little preacher, may the
bounteous hand above
Forever flood its lawn OF life, with
showers of heavenly love,
For It's the love of heaven above and
love of friends below,
That causes such dear mortal flowers,
as that sweet babe 70 grow.

ALL ARE BENEFITED.

The statement in another column that
the Arid Land Commissioner has secured
for the state magnificent tract Of land
In this county, equal to homes for forty
thousand people, will be received with
pleasure. The work has OF necessity
been conducted very quietly-so quietly
that certain unthinking people have been
inclined to scriticise what they believed
was inaction. This was absolutely nee
essary for the success of Col. Howlett's
plan for the state, as any rush Of filings
in the region involved would have i'm
paired the project for the state without
benefiting individual applicants. 1t now
appears that the commissioner has been
working very effectively in the line OF his
silent campaign for land, and this county
as well as the entire state will feel the ef-
feet. The tracts selected form body OF
easily irrigated upland, extending from
the Yakima river, just opposite town, to
the Columbia fifty miles away. 1t has

would have been snapped OPP long ago,
but for the impossibility of controlling
the even sections as harmonious whole.
This the state can do and still sell to set
tiers much cheaper than they could take
it as homesteads and water it. In fact II
could never have been taken in that way.
The state has been saved thousands oil
dollars by the utilization of all previous
surveyed estimates, and has from the
hands Of Mr.. ii. X. Owens, who stands
in the front rank of irrigation engineers,
most thorough and reliable map and re-
Fort. The n. p. Land Department has
at the same time been going over this re-
gion With a view of facilitating the mar
keting OF its own lands at a low figure,
and it should be set down to the credit oil
the Commissioner that he had the wisdom
to take advantage OF the fact. Coming
at this time, few days previous to the
state immigration convention, this with
drawal acquires an added importance for
the state, as it helps to demonstrate the
advantages we have for large col.
onies. II the Commissioner can do as
well in securing the building Of the canal
as he has in getting the land, it will be
the best thing that can possibly happen.

Governor Bradley, Of Kentucky, the
new republican executive, has an oppor-
tunity now to show what sort of mettle
there is in him. When he was inaugu-
rated he publicly pledged himself to
punish any person who resorted to lynch
law or mob violence in order to avenge
alleged oGenses. No more shocking story
OF savagery has lately come from the
sonth than the tale of the firing OF o
dwelling near Lebanon, kentucky, by
"one hundred armed men," and the
shooting down of man who tried to es-
cape from the burning building and the
roasting to death Of woman who did
not dare to run the gauntlet OF the bullets
of her cowardly assailants. Sach das
tards merit neither mercy nor pity, and
Governor Bradley should bring his sturdy
manhood to bear to see that they receiy,
their deserts.
