Bay Ditch company, organized by pio-
neers Of Umatilla county last week, is
another step toward that ultimate per-
fection which is in store for the county.
1t is one chapter in the story,
This ditch company is working upon
the same theory held by the people now
planning extensive irrigation works near
Echo; that is, that winter irrigation,
thorough flooding, complete saturation
Of the sandy soil, once during the winter
and early, spring, is sufficient to grow
three excellent crops OF alfalfa without
the aid Of surface irrigation during the
summer. The Walla Walla river will
not furnish sufficient water to supply the
ditch during the dry season. The ditch
es now in operation own it and use 1t all
during the irrigation season proper.
$50
But this company has faith in its
theory, and viii ask for water privileges
only during the winter months while
the river banks are full. The lands to
be irrigated by this company will be
flooded thoroughly while water is
plenty, and the sub-irrigation resulting
from that soaking process will be de-
pended upon to grow the crops for the
ensuing season. In this body Of land
between Freewater and Hudson Bay are
something near 1000 acres. In its pres
ent condition it is worth $l5 to $40 per
acre. AT cost Of SIS per acre it can be
converted into productive land worth
in that locality today from 500 to S175
per acre for fruit growing. Near Echo
are 100000 acres Of this semi-arid land.
he water that is now going to waste
might be proftably employed at this
very season Of the year, to lay founda-
tions FOR tons Of alfalfa per acre.
These bodies OF idle land can be made

The fate of hm who waits too
long before declaring his affec-

the Minnesota young man who
had been writing to a girl for
three years, intending some day
10 ask her to marry him. The
other day he received a letter and
a picture from her. The letter
announced that she had been
married two years, and the pic.
ture was of her baby. My hus.
band and | have enjoyed your let,
ters very much, she wrote, "but
| guess you had better stop writ
ing now, as | have to spend all
my time caring for the baby" "

young man used after reading
the letter would shock field OF

ways and whose passionate devo-
ton may never flag. He must be
tall and broad shouldercd and
handsome, with dark, flashing
soulful eyes, and, if need be go to
the ends of the world for my
sake.
At twenty she said: 81 want a
man who unites the tender sym
pathies Of a woman with the bra
very of a lion. | don't mind his
being little dissapited, because
that always adds a charm. lie
must be, however, accomplished
to the last degree and capable Of
any sacrifice for my sake. "
AT twenty-five she said Il
want a man who unites with au
engaging personality complete
knowledge Of the world, and if, of
necessity, he happens to have a
past, he must also have a fu-
ture-a man to whom / can look
up and with whom | can trust
myself at all times without the
slightest EN- barrassment. "
At thirty she SAID: 81 want a
man with money. He can have
any other attributes a man ought
not t. possess, but he must have
money, and the more he has the
better shall like 1t. "

What's all this stir In among the toys,
The rustic and stir? The donkey
creaks,
The paper rustlcs, the little ball rolls,
The round drum rumbles. the rabbit

There's not a toy but means to see,
In all the closet, from wall TO wall.
The wedding between the Jack-in- the-box
And the prettiest china doll of all.
She looked so timid and he so proud.
And both were as happy as they coulG
be.
And the moon shone In through the closet
door:
II was really a beautiful sight to see.
But when II was over and all the toys
Had settled again upon the shelves,
Where Jack and the dolly could not hear
They talked about It among themselves

Sighed as he shook his naNeu head
"'Twould have been all right for wood

But she might have done much better"

Twas a very stupid and slow affair

Smiled at each other tonderly
They did not hear. and they did not care.
But both were as happy as they could
