marvellous frequency that it has put the elderly and hard featured woman out of business.
 Every woman in commercial or pro- fessional life soon learns that 1t pays to put on her best bib and tucker, and make herself look as well as Providence per mits, when she has to deal with men in a business way. This Is not because men are firtatious for the American business man is very seldom that or sentimental in office hours, but he un- conciously adopts a different attitude towards pretty. well-gowned woman from that which he displays towards an ugly woman in dowdy clothes. Uncon- sciously. he succumbs to the softening influence of youth, and beauty and grace. To one he Is all suavity and complaisance. She can sell him the life of somebody he never heard of in seven- teen volumes, or get him to repaper the house she has rented and put in exposed plumbing, or do any other thing within the bounds of reason and gallantry, whereas he instinctively treats the other woman whose appearance grates upon his aesthetic sense with the brusque di- rectness he woulde show to another man and a man who got upon his nerves, to boot
 The place, however, where a womans ogod looks bring her in the heaviest div idends Is just in the common courtesies of life. Nobody ever looks at pretty
 woman like they do at an ugly one, or adopts the same manner towards her.
 The ugly woman has to fight for her rights If she gets them at all The pret-
 t ywoman has all the perquisites of ex- istence handed to her on silver salver.
 If a man gets up and gives his seat on
 a crowded street car to homely woman he does 1t with the air of an early Christian martyr. and looks as if he
 thought he ought to have a medal for
 doing his duty but the minute pretty
 girl enters a car a dozen men are on
 their feet, and she might have half the
 car if she chose And it's the same way
 throughout life It's the pretty girl in
 the family who gets the good clothes, and reigns a little queen, while the ugly sister is a foreordained Cinderella from all eternity. No man married to pret- ty wife treats her as the man does the homely woman he has espoused, for none of us handle Sevres china like we do Delft Back of all reason is the feeling that the proper place for bric-a-brac is in the parlor, while the kitchen is good enough for the article that has no pre- tense to beauty but whose justification is its wonderful household character. And there" as MT. Henry James would | say, you are"
 1 All fthese things good looks mean to a woman. and it is no wonder she as- sesses the loss of her beauty high. Beauty Is a free pass through life, and
 while the most of us manage to get along
 without 1t, nobody can deny that we have to work our passage.

 Sacred to the memory of
 MARY ELIZABETH MIX
 Wife of Capt Charles Mix.
 Died May 26, 1S44. Agei 51 years
 Capt. Mix was one of the earliest com manders Tt the old frontier military post of Fort Gibson, I. T., when this whole vast region. now under the influence of civilization, was only wilderness. oc- cupied only by wild beasts and rowing bands of wild Indians.
 Capt. Mix had plenty of work to do in affordng protection to the scattered whites and in resisting the wild tribes of the plains, with whom he was in almost constant turmoil. The captain had come from the east, and was accompanied by lis wife She was fine horseback rider end enjoyed outdoor life, often riding out with her husband on the prairies around Fort Gibson, engaging in the hunt some times on expeditions against the indians, thus making life to her an almost contin- ral round of romance and adventure.
 In one of the military expeditions against the fierce Sioux. in which several companies of the United States were en- gagged, Cant. Mix was ambushed and kill ed with rumber of his command The sad news fcemed to have changed the whole tenor of the life of Mrs. Mix, who was inconsoate for the loss of her hus- land and companion. She brooded over the matter, and came to the conclusion to revenge the tragic death of her hus- band. She assumed male garb and never missed an opportunity to Join an expedi- ton against the Sioux to fight them being daring and reckless almost to mad hess, distinguishing herself in many a hard and bloody fight
 Mrs. Mix in her male disguise as scout continued her warfare of revenge for about eight years, undergoing many hardships and dangers and becoming noted for rockies bravery and good for tune. SO that she attracted the attention of head officers of the army and others
 In one of the expeditions against the enemy the whites were ambushed some killed and others captured. among the latter being Mrs. Mix. She managed to escape from her captors, and after a long journey through the wilderness in winter weather reached the fort in a famshed and almost dying condition when her sex became known. Although possessing a strong constitution she nev- CT recovered from her journey through the wilderness. becoming a physical wreck, and died at the fort about a year later.

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1904-11-30

Pendleton, Nov. 29.-(Editor East
Oregonian. IL read with great inter-
est an article contributed to the Ba-
ker City Herald by "Irrigator," re-
printed in your issue of November IS,
and your editorial comment of the
same date on the irrigation law pro-
posed for Oregon by Mr.. Bien, and
printed in the East Oregonian of No
vember Is, 1904.
My attention was arrested by your
declaration that "the East Oregonian
believes the Bien law is about as per-
feet as such a law could be made"
since this is the first time I have
heard such an opinion from anyone
who has read the Bien law. Irrigators,
and by this l mean those. who have
| irrigated land or are engaged in ir-
rigation enterprises. nnqualifiedly
condemn it.
Present Law Is Satisfactory.
One reason why the law proposed
is without merit is that it contains
not a single good feature that is not
the law in this state today, and con-
firmed and fixed beyond any question
by the supreme court of this state.
Tt is the law in this state today, that
! % The use of the waters of the lakes
and streams of this state for irrigation
purposes is a public use.
(2) All unappropriated, non-navi-
gable waters within the state are sub
ject to appropriation for beneficial
use.
(3) No person or company can re-
tain the control or occupancy of any
water that is not beneficially used.
(4) The rules for determining the
priority to the right to use water, as
well as the quantity of water that any
claimant can beneficially use are
clearly defined and easily ascertained
CD Every drop of water in every
-navigable lake and stream may
be diverted and used for irrigating
purposes.
(6) Any individual, by complying
with very simple regulations, may
bring to his aid the right of eminent
domain vested in the state to secure
the right of way for bitches, canals
dams and reservoir sites.
All this the Bien law proposes tC
wipe out, and in most cases provides
no adequate substitute. 1t is mani
} fest folly to destroy what is now tn,
law of the state, broad and salutary
, as in the six principles that l hav'
.. stated. If any change is made, i
, should be by adding to the presen
comprehensive and equitable law o
the state.
} Your suggestion that the burden ol
the state for the additional boards an
. officers would be about $4,000 pc
year, is unfortunate, since in Sectiol
! 81 of the act, an appropriation o
} $40, 900 is called for to start the thing
, and l will defy anyone to determin
, from the act itself, or by any metho
. of calculation based upon the ac
} what the new machine would cost tn
, taxpayers of the state, without con
) sidering at all the extraordinary an
, unlimited burdens the act empower
= the various officers and boards to la
direct upon the unfortunate waite
users.

The reason Vinol cures when all
other cough medicines and prepara-
tions of cod liver oil fail is because
it contains in a concentrated form all
the curative, strength creating ele-
ments of cod liver oil actually taken
from fresh Gods livers but without
any oil or grease to upset the stom-
ach and retard its work.

I do not offer these suggestions in
any spirit of carping criticism, but
only that we may all look before we

that somehow surrounds the name of
Bien, gentleman, that many of us
never heard of, most of us don't

is any good in his draft that is new

CURE OF A DANGEROUS COUGH
BY VINOL.
The Brock & McComas Co. Say Vinol
Is the Best Cure for Chronic
Coughs and Colds Known TO Medi-

Said Mr.. Brock. of the Brock & Nc
Comas Co.: THE unquestionable tes-
timony which we are constantly pub
lishing-our opinion so often express
ed in regard to the remarkable cura-
tive value of Vinol--our guarantee to
return money in every case where It
fails, and, above all. the fact that 1t
is not patent medicine but a pure
cod liver oil preparation without oil
or drugs, should lead every person in
Pendleton suffering from chronic
coughs, colds or bronchitis, to at least
try Vinol in preference to anything
else.'
Miss Baker writes: For more than
year 1 suffered with hacking
obstinate cough, from which 1 could
get no relief. Cough medicines did
me no good whatever and upset my

Must Measure Streams.


There are several items, each an in
tegral part of the scheme. worthy of
special note. The items are too num-
erous to be mentioned in detail in a
short communication like this, but one
item is that photographic surveys
must at once be made of every stream
in the state (no limit on expense or
means employed) and as quickly as
the survey of the streams is complet-
ed, the attorney general must within
60 days enter suit (Sec. 15) to de-
termine the rights of every water
user in that stream system.
To he sure, the act graciously pro-
every water user in the system, indi-
vidually, must pay his own costs and
attorneys fees, and in no case is it
permitted that the unfortunate water
user can recover any costs from the
state in the suit the state has brought
against him, and this, whether there
is a drop of water in that stream un-
appropriated or unused, or not or
whether or not every irrigator on that
stream is using only the exact amount
of water he owns and needs to use
and every other water user in the
system is satisfied! This feature of
the Bien law provides splendid feasts
for the water engineers and lawyers.
whether the farmers or taxpayers
like it or not.
Another feature is that every irriga-
ton stream system will be controlled
by a wonderfully and fearfully con-
structed system of officers and
boards, having its head and seat at
the capital, Salem, from 800 to 500
miles as travel goes, from the irri-
gated lands of the state. f
Favors the District
AS the law is in the state today
each stream system, or all the people
irrigating from a common source, may
organize themselves into a municipal
corporation, clothed with the powers
of the state, for the purpose of regu-
lating the beneficial use or all the wa
ter in their own district. Thus, the
users OF water from the Umatilla
river or any portion of it, can regulate
their affairs within themselves, with
out interference from Salem, or any
water users on the walla Walla river;
and SO can those irrigating from the
Walla walla, or any other stream IN
the state.
Condemns the Law.
I am unable to discover single
good feature of the Bien law that is
not now the law of the state, and 1
am wholly unable to discover any ad-
vantage to the people, the state, or ir-
rigation, that will be obtained for the
enormous expense burden the pro-
posed law imposes upon both the state
and the water users. Before anyone
endorses the draft, he should read 1t
carefully and calculate the effect ana
cost of its adoption as a law.
II there is any probability that the
next legislature will seriously consider
the draft submitted by Mr. Bien, be-
lieve that some one should first point
out some feature that is better than
the law as 1t now exists, and then

SAD DEATH.

The community was shocked
Thursday morning of last week to
learn of the death of Hardin +.
Wilson. Only the day before he
was at his post, attending to his
duties as depot agent. He had been
suffering from severe cold for
several days and the day previous
to his death, he was compelled to
take his bed. The sudden END was
a great shock to his devoted wife
and children, to his aged father and
mother, sisters and brother and to
us alI-for he was one of our most
popular citizens and was held in the
highest esteem by everybody who
knew bin. He was honorable, no.
BILE, true to his friends and faithful
to every trust imposed.
Deceased was ~ years of age
He was a son of j A. Wilson, Sr.,
and was born in the 5th district OF
i this county. Almost bis entire life
was spent in Bolivar He married
Miss Rosa Redd. daughter of w

survive.
The remains were buried Friday
morning in Uni)n Cemetery, Rev
