was found unfeasible and abandoned
it. howl went up from the duped set
tiers, but what could they do?
An enter prising government irriga-
tion expert reported favorably on a
project down in Malheur county, and
acting on that report, the interior
department withdrew from entry big
tract of land for irrigation purposes.
Immediately there was rush of set
tiers to the borders of the reserved
tract, and they are there yet, waiting
for Uncle Sam to make good. It's
about time for the avuncular gentle
man to announce the unfeasibility Of
the Malheur scheme.
The nearest approach to a govern
mental irrigation enterprise in Oregon
is at Ontario, where the government
board of engineers and the Malheur
Water Users association have been
endeavoring for the past eighteen
months to jew each other down. Not
long ago terms were finally agreed on
and thousands of acres of private land
were signed up at $50 per acre to help
defray the cost of reservoir, lateral
bitches and maintenance for ten years.
And now the whole scheme is up in
the air again, because the govern
ment has raised the price to $40 per
acre, with no explanation of the boost
ed estimate. Therefore, another period
of pickering must follow before the
water is made to run.
It's all well enough to haul $4,000
colonists from the effete east into Ore
gon, but why is it necessary to dump
them off at lonely water tanks on the
sagebrush desert with directions to
chase some irrigation will o'-the-wisp
over the horizon; or bundle them into
the already over-crowded hop gardens
and apple orchards Of the Willamette
valley, where hop raiser and apple
grower has resided until his toes are
webbed and he wouldn't sell forty
acres for paid up insurance in para
disc?
Why not push couple of thousand
colonists off at the depot in Baker City
with advice to hit the trail to the
gold ribbed Blue mountains, or to the
beautiful valleys in. the Panhandle
more fertile than the fabled Nile?
Or why not bundle a bunch of home
and fortune seekers off at Pendleton
and let them wander over the Una
tilla table lands where wheat is king
and where each quarter section is
gold mine?
Oregon is a great big, broad and tall
state--bigger than dozen Delewares
or score of Connecticuts. There is
room here for hundred times $4,000
colonists before hanging out the S. R.
0. sign. So what, it you please, is
the use of bundling the very first COM
ers into back seats? Why not give
them the best in the house? Put 'em
up near the orchestra and maybe
they'll send out and tell their friends
to come in and see the show.

THE ARMY CANTEEN.
MADAME Magazine. J


'The Army Canteen" is the object
of unceasing warfare by large body
Of good and well-meaning women in
America. They have succeeded in
having the Canteen done away with
by the government officials, but un-
happily the favorable results of the
action so fondly anticipated do not
appear to have materalized. General
Grant recently took occasion, in one
Of his reports, to inveigh against the
abolition of the Canteen, and the
weight of opinion among army officers
generally is that the morals and dis
cipline of army life are best subserved
by the continuance of the Canteen.
An official report was recently made
which affirmed that one out of ten of
the enlisted privates in the service
desert, and that the chief reason
which the men give for this action
is that privileges which were freely
accorded them in civil life are un-
necessarily cut off by army regula-
tions, and their manly pride induces
them to desert rather than be subject
ed to such indignities. Madame is not
concerned as to the merits of the plea
made to justify the crime of desertion
from sworn duty, but there seems
little doubt that the abolition of the
Canteen has proven a failure in the
endeavor to improve the morals of the
army. 1t seems only necessary to
point to the old axiom AN ounce of
prevention is worth pound of
cure" As we cannot legislate morals,
we also cannot check the outporing of
stream by damming it up. A re-
form, to be effective, should begin at
the source of the evil, and the co-rela-
tion of cause and effect must be recog
nized. There is strong tendency in
this country to attempt moral reforms
by means of force and deprivation.
Men are not led to conquer evil appe
tites in this manner. The very oppo-
site effect is usually the outcome. The
object of the opponents of the army
Canteen is to stop the use of strong
drink III the army--the reports of
army officials indicate that desertion
and various other evils are the result.
Are the morals of the army improved
by the new order of things? Zeal in
a good cause is always commendable,
but zeal should be tempered with pru-
dence and thought, and armed with
the sword of Justice. that she may
best serve her ends.

THE RUSH TO OREGON.
(Colonist In Maverick. y

(Colonist In Maverick. ."
The announcement is given out from
its Portland Office that certain big
railroad has brought not less than II, :
900 colonists and homeseekers to Ore
gon this season. Where did they go?
How many stopped off at Baker City?
Or at Pendleton?
Two years ago there was big rush
Of easterners into the northwest to take
up homesteads and timber lands. Be-
cause of the fact that the former form
Of realty has become scarce and the
latter decidedly dangerous sort Of
proposition to monkey with, many are
deferred from making entries on pub
lie lands in Oregon.
What, then, did those II 900 colo
nists whom the aforementioned rail
road dumped into Oregon this season
do with themselves? Did they all set
tie in Portland? Did they invest in
rose gardens in the exposition city or
purchase salmon farms on the Colum-
bia river? Figures do not lie, but
liars will figure. The statement that
one railroad brought 1000 colonists
to Oregon this season, with 5000 more
to follow before May 10, is believed
to be new sort of advertising dope.
II is probably true that number of low
rate excursion tickets from eastern
points to the Portland terminus have
been sold, but it is safe proposition
to bet on that 80 per cent of the pur-
chasers Of these tickets were headed
for Washington, Northern California,
British Columbia and Alberta.
Because of the large interest in
irrigation in this state of late years,
more settlers are establishing them
selves in the districts of Eastern Ore
gon given up to irrigation, thus lessen
ing the number settling in the Will
lamette Valley" says the Portland
dope artist.
Ratsl
Will the figure juggler kindly point
out where in Eastern Oregon there are
large irrigation interests attractive to
10000 colonists in one season? 1t is
true that Uncle Sam has been four
flushing pretty promiscuously in the
sagebrush belt of this Eastern Oregon
region for the past two years, but up
to date not clod of dirt has been
moved by the government hereabouts,
and with one or two exceptions, no
definite site for a governmental 'ir-
rigation interests has been selected.
1t is likewise true that last year big
rush of settlers was attracted to the
Echo country, where, the dope artists
announced, the government was en-
gagged in reclaiming couple of hun
dred thousand acres of arid lands.
Hundreds of homeseekers swarmed
out into the sagebrush and filed on
section after section of worthless des-
ert. When Uncle Sam announced
that after elaborate investigation and
detailed estimates the Echo project
The Athena press. [volume] (Athena, Umatilla County, Or.) 18??-1942, 1905-05-30

1t is announced that, beginning on
the first of June, passenger rates on
all railroads in Washington will be 3
cents mile; that the 10 cents extra
charged passengers on the trains who
do not buy tickets, will be abolished
and pennies used in making exact
change. Heretofore passengers have
been charged one or more cents too
much or too little, that is to say If
man travelled nine miles he paid 80
cents and if he travelled II miles he
paid 30 cents Hereafter the same
man will pay ~ cents and 3s cents
respectively. We are getting to the
eastern habit of exact change and out
Of the western style of ready reckon
ing. The nimble cent is taking the
place Of the slow nickle.

County seat papers give. E. H. And
erson credit for teaching the Athena
9Th grade class, when the credit
should be given George Marquis, prin-
cipal-elect of the Athena school. Mr..
Marquis has been the tutor of the 8th
grade pupils here for two years. Dur
ing that time Al of his pupils have
taken the 9Th grade examination and
80 have passed. He has the honor also
of seeing two of his pupils capture the
highest average of any school in the
county in this grade. Last year Miss
Minnie Naylor of the Athena public
school led the county, and this year
Cecile Boyd led the class and county
in highest average. Frankly speak
ing the Press believes that the Athena
public school ranks among the best in
the state, but that under Mr.. Marquis
supervision it is destined to be still
better. Experience has demonstrated
that Willamette valley principals do
not thrive well in Eastern Oregon
schools. Whether it is the scenery
that blights their energy, or whether
change Of atmosphere promotes the
species of lethargic desuetude with
which those who have been anchored
here have been afflicted, we will not
attempt to say, but of one thing we
are morally certain, and that is the
Umatilla county product has done
more for Athena's school than has
ever been accomplished by the past
masters from "the valley" that have
been employed here. This, without
exception, and the work accomplished
in the school will verifythe state
ment.
