BENEFITS Story.

Charles G. Bennett of 2771 Twenty
fourth street, oan Francisco, a pas
senger, remained on board the Clallam
until she sank and witnessed all Tie
principal scenes, both before she foun-
dered and sank and Immediately af-
ter, when the last life raft was launch
ed. Bennett had not recovered from
the effects of the exposure and scenes
incident to the wreck when ne arriv-
ed on the Dirigo and seemed to be in
a half dazed condition. He collected
his thoughts, however, sufficiently to
recall what was probably one of the
most thrilling and pathetic incidents
of the wreck. This was the action of
man unknown to Bennett, who, after
his wife and two children were drown
ed before his eyes, became frantic anu
plunged headlong into the sea. He
was undoubtedly lost, as neither Ben
nett nor any of the crew saw him come
to the surface and no life boats were
near him at the time.

No duty, however hard and peril
ous, should be feared one-half so
much as failure in the duty. People
sometimes shrink from responsibility.
saying they dare not accept it be-
cause 1t is so great. But in shrinking
from their duty they are really en-
couraging far more serious condition
than that which they eyade. It is u
great deal easier to do that which
God gives us to do. no matter how
hard 1t is, than to face the RESPONSE
bility of not doing 1t. We have
abundant assurance that we shall re-
ceive the strength we need to perform
any duty God allots TO us, but If we
fall out Of life of obedience and re-
fuse to do anything which we ought
to do, we find ourselves at once out
Of harmony with Gods law aud Gods
providence, and cannot escape the
consequences of our failure.-J. II.

rounded pile Of wood in front Of
the deer yelling and waving his hat,
which frightened and caused him to
return TO the water. He was soon
surrounded, when be started up the

We now have him alive.

Who crIes for Personal Liberty

1t is well known that the liquor ele-
ment resonts and resists anything that
interferes with the so-called personal
liberty of those who wish to profit
financially by the manufacture and
sale OF intoxicating liquor. Rarely
have we had q moro striking illustra-
tion Of this than in tho recent effort
to repeal the midnight closing ordi-
nance Of Chicago. It would seem
that II a business which has to be
licensed in order to be tolerated were
allowed to keep open doors all day
and until midnight, that would be
enough to satisfy the demands Of eyen
tho unroasonably ayarlcious trader.
The midnight closing ordinance OF
Chicago was generally violated Gas
all restrictive and prohibitory laws
against tho liquUr traffic aro), but
when the danger Of violation Of law
was brought home to Chicago through
tho terrible Iroquois thoater calamity
that touched so many hearts and
homes, the official conscience seemed
to be aroused and the results Of non
enforcement OF law were considered
AZ never before. Then came foW
weeks of enforcement Of the midnight
closing ordinance, aud this action II
said "to have reduced tho volume Of
nocturnal crime very materially.
From whence, then, followed The

A GOOD WORD FOR OREGON
Let People Know You are Proud
of Your State.

One feature of the Oregonian
character which is remarked by every
newcomer is the lack of enthusiasm
manifested by the residents of the
state when the state itself is under
consideration. In other sections the
moment & newcomer mentions either
city or state he is ready for display
of enthusiasm, while at the same
time he may prepare himself to dis
count some of the widest stories.
Oregon, however. is the unique ex-
ception. If the inquiring stranger
mentions Oregon. he is less likely to
arouse enthusiasm than though he
mentioned any other conceivable
subject. 1t seems to be taken for
granted that everything the resident
knows about the state is an old story
for the stranger and so wet blanket
is promptly thrown upon budding
enthusiasm and the stranger is allowed
to depart with an impression of the
state not nearly so good as it deserves,
1t seems to us there is happy
medium between the two extremes,
between over.enthusiasm and a rea.
sonable regard for facts that are in
controvertible. Naturally and climat-
ically there are few grander states
in the Union than Oregon. 1t is
noted for many resources and 1t is
pre-eminent in some respects. Why
should our light be hidden under a
bushel? Surely our lumber, wheat,
flourishing interests, sheep, hops,
fruit and the score of other industries
are worthy passing mention? 1t is
precisely this that the intending set
tier wants to hear. He wishes to
know something about the various
sections, their adaptability to GER
tain enterprises, the opportunities
for investments or the chances for
home building. Everything that he
hears increases the stock of his use
ful knowledge and no citizen Of Ore
gon should be above extending him
the information at his command.
Oregon is state TO be proud Of,
not something to apologize for as too
many are prone to do, and of all sur
prising things this is the most sur
prising experience to the strangers
within our gates who find on every
hand SC much to delight them ana
so many opportunities which are
elsewhere lacking. Oregon Journal.

WATER FOR IRRIGATlNG
Purposes viii Be Furnished
Free to Js ckson Farmers.

The jackson County Improvement
Company intends this year to offer
farmers living along the line Of its
ditch. an opportunity for the prac-
teal demonstration Of the value OF
irrigation. To this end they offer to
give to anyone, owning land covered
By the ditch. all the water they wish
to use. without any cost to the con-
sumer, upon application. The con-
sumer is not restricted to any stated
quantity, but will be allowed all the
water he deems necessary. This offer
is made with the expectation that the
result will cause the company to
gain many steady customers, how
ever, there is no obligation on the
part of the consumer to use the water
after this season, but the company
relies upon the results 1t feels sure
the use of water will accomplish TO
hold the majority of the users.
The water will be used upon the
5000 acre tract owned by the corpor-
alton this summer. and piece of
land upon which-to use Mark
Twain's remark about New Hamp-
shire hill farm-one couldn't even
raise a disturbance" is expected to
produce bountiful crops.
The value Of water on semi-arid
lands will be fully demonstrated on
the company's farm this year, and
many "doubting Thomases" Will be
convinced before another 12 months
goes by.
Last year the same offer was made
but nobody took advantage OF 1t. 1t
was rather discouragiag to the ditch
people, and one Of them made the re-
mark "If we can't give the water
away to these people how are we to
expect to sell it,"
The 5000 acre tract before men,
toned will be divided into small
holdings which will be sold on terms
SO favorable that a purchaser, If he
has a fair amount of energy and
muscle can make the land pay fol
itself, besides affording him a living
in the meantime. The class of people
that will settle ON these lands are the
