The Milton Eagle takes the follow
ing logical view of the water suit
brought by the Peacock mills against
that community; The action of the
Peacock Mill company to restrain
Milton citizens from using the waters
of the Walla Walla river has been the
all absorbing topic of conversation on
the streets this week and the COM
pany has been the object of much Sc
we're criticism. There is some excuse
for the prevailing excitement, for if
the claims of the company are sus-
tanned it will render practically val
ueless a considerable portion of the
fruit land tributary to Milton. 1t is
too early in the game to predict just
what course the matter will take, but
we believe that it will eventually
prove to be a good thing for the COM
munity. The many conflicting water
interests will be adjusted by the
courts and the rights of the various
riparian owners fixed. 1t will cost
something to fight the case in the
courts, which will work a hardship
on many small property owners. The
most unfortunate feature of the af-
| fair, however, is the injury it will do
/ the country to have our water rights
under litigation this summer during
the Lewis and Clark fair.

Once more the days of the Panama
hat, the tan shoes, the white and
mottled vest, the sllkilene shirt and
the anti-sweat powder, have arrived
at Pendleton and no city park, no
rustic seat nor band stand, nor even
a rough board bench for a resting
place has been provided. The only
promenade in the city is along the
sidewalks, the only band stand is
group of chairs carried by the mu-
sicians to the middle of the street,
and the only way the populace of
Pendleton can rest itself while en-
joying the band music is by changing
from one foot to the other while
standing in the setreet. Let the civic
improvement club be revived. Under
the auspices of the Women's club the
city council and the Commercial as
sociation, some sort of public rec
reation ground should be provided.
II nothing else is in reach the county
court should be petitioned to allow
the use of the court house grounds
for arbors rustic seats, a band stand
and walks. This can be made tenn
porary park that would pass muster.
Very little expense would be incurred
in preparing it and the county court
would surely give permission for its
use. Anything for a smiling oasis in
the long, dusty summer.

Mrs. Jane Stanford, practical and
pessimlstic as she was, so fully rec
ognized the growing demand for the
scientific investigation of psychic phe-
nomena and spiritualism that she had
long ago planned to establish chair
of spiritualism at Stanford University
and would have carried out her plan
had she lived. She gave public ut
terance to her candid belief in the
presence of the spirits of the dead
within hailing distance of the living
and one of the most remarkable eX-
periences ever related of spirit COM
munication, was her declaration that
many of the plans of her busy and
useful life were suggested to her by
the spirits of her beloved husband
and son, who came to her in hours of
perplexity and doubt. Such eviden-
ces,, such thrilling assertions, such
matter-of- fact declarations from one
so practical, cool-headed and non
emotional are mystifying to the sor-
did and dollar-worshipping world.
The skeptical professors who will
sway the management of the univer-
sity will perhaps smother this noble
woman's ideal project but they can
not drown the mystic whispering
that steal over the borders of the
spiritual into the realm of the ma
terial world, under certain circum-
stances and in the hearing of rightly
attuned natures.

FIGHTING THE NORMAL SCHOOL

The demagogues who are directing
the fight against the normal schools
in this state are misleading and de
ceiving the people. They demand the
referendum to tie up a million, and
give the money-lenders at Portland
and Salem a harvest.
Among the items included in the
general appropriation bill of the state
legislature of Washington, now in
session, is 246 for maintenance of the
three normal schools of that state.
This is over $121,O0O apiece. Thus
each of the three Washington normal
schools (provided this appropriation
is divided equally among them) will
receive over $4,000 more than was
voted by the Oregon legislature for
all four of the normal schools of this
state.
Yet there are people in Oregon who
refer to the comparatively small pit
tance allowed for normal schools in
this state as a graft" and talk of
invoking the referendum for the pur-
pose of cutting off entirely the state
support of these schools. Oregon is
seeking Eastern immigration, and can
not afford to be niggardly in the sup
port of educational institutions II We
expect to attract the better class of
citizens.
There are no appropriations made
in Oregon that return SO large a
proportion of value received as those
for normal schools, where every dol
lar expended is to fit some young man
or woman to become a better teach
er in public or private schools. The
same legislature spends or wastes
| $2T,O 900 on useless clerks, and there is
no talk of referendum.-Salem Jour
nal.
