6. A. R. Pays Tribute to Departed
COUrdde.

O0Wfd0c
The members of Captain Trego
Post No. 1877 G. A. r. having learned
of the death of one of its members,
Comrade 0. w. Lahman, on August
20, 1905, are profoundly grieved.
Comrade Lahman was one of the
most active members of this organiza-
ton, having held numerous official
positions in the order, and when
transferred by order of our Great
Commander was Senior Vice Com
mander of the Post. Has been prom
inent as citizen, useful in fraternal
affairs, affectionate and beloved by
his family. His life was singularly
exemplary and his loss is mourned
by all who knew him.
Captain Trego Post offers its deep
sympathy to his wife and family and
adds this tribute of esteem for the
virtues of Comrade Lahman.
''HumanitY profits by the life and
deeds of its noble heroes. We ap-
plaud their valor, cherish their coun-
sci, revere their memory and sorrow
as they pass to the unknown. May
we meet again in glorious reunion.
AS we close up the fast thinning ranks
of our order, and continue our wav
down the western slope, tears dim
the eyes OF the veterans, whose vision
age already impairs.. The assembly
call is heard on the other shore. The
Great Commander summons, the
march is but little way"
1t is ordered by the Post that copy
of this memorial be presented to the
widow Of our late Comrade, published
in our local papers, spread on the
records of the Post, and that Post
headquarters be draped in mourning
for thirty days. >.

pect to put TO practical use. Both of
these streams are fed by the eternal
SHOWS of the adjacent mountains, and
are in such close proximity to those
SHOWS that there is seldom, even in
the heat of summer, very much dimi
mutton in the volume of water.
LII the Deschutes in particular there
is at all seasons of the year steady
flow which keeps the stream at practi-
cally the same height the year round,
the extra volume of water occasioned
by the quick melting of snow in the
springtime disappearing in the sub
teranean caverns which are numerous
in many of the canyons through which
it sweeps. Navigation in mild kind
of way is possible over portion of
the Deschutes river, and at a number
of places the stream makes terrific
drops, creating immense power which
will some day be utilized for manu-
featuring purposes. Neither for navi-
cation nor for the development of
power, however, can this stream ever
prove so valuable as for irrigation
purposes, and if the day ever comes
when all the water it carries can be
advantageously used for irrigation
purposes, its usefulness in other direc-
tions can be easily sacrificed.
If the plan of Engineer Davis proves
feasible, the waters of the John Day
can be used to advantage on fully
200, 900 acres of land in Umatilla,
Morrow, Sherman and Gillian coun-
ties. Land of the class that will be
reached by this mighty irrigation pro-
ject has, wherever it has been touched
by water, shown phenomenal yields,
and the successful carrying out of this
one irrigation project would add thou
sands to the population of Eastern
Oregon and transform what is now a
veritable desert into highly produc-
tive region. Irrigation has long since
passed the experimental stage in the
Pacific Northwest. The Yakima and
Wenatchee districts and the Snake
river banks, near Lewiston, have
demonstrated in the most effective
manner the magical power of water on
lands which few years ago were
practically worthless.
In neither land nor water is Ore
gon at disadvantage as compared
with the localities mentioned, and, as
soon as the work Of combining these
productive forces is complete, the dry
district east of the mountains will
enter on an era of prosperity such as
has never been equaled where Nature
was unaided in her work Of supplying
moisture for the soil.

WHAT oFsJAPANg
portland oregonian. ]

The eyes of the world are upon Ja-
pan. Not only are the problems Incl
dent to the present situation and
their bearings upon the immediate fu-
ture of that nation and Of the teeming
world of Asia attracting attention,
but their solution, as touching the fu-
ture in the trade and commerce of the
Western world, is of absorbing inter
est. From present Indications active
hostilities in Manchuria may cease
before many months, perhaps weeks.
Will Japan be strong enough in states
manship to make this peace, when it
comes, a lasting one, and one that
will insure her own expansion? If
so, what?
DR.. T. L. Eliot, of this city, who
spent five weeks, alert and observant,
in Japan two years ago, in brief sy-
nopsis of his Impressions of Japan, :"
gave it as his opinion that in social
and domestic life the Japanese will
assimilate very little from the West
compared to what they will retain and
develop in conformity with their ra-
cial temperament, Of which Shintoism
is the religious and moral expression.
Continuing in words that seem pro-
phetic, DR.. Eliot said:
"This same temperament and virile
ambition, will tend to make the Japa-
nese, after a while, as great CONNER
cially and industrially, as they have
already proved themselves capable of
being, in the world of art and of mill
tary discipline. 1t is not altogether
wild prophecy, that, in combination
with regenerated China, Japan may
within fifty years dominate Eastern
commerce and manufacture, and drive
| the West entirely out of its markets,
perhaps encroaching upon the Western
world However, the truer and hap
pier augury, is to predict an era of
good will and international respect,
in which these industrial and com
mercial strifes shall cease, and ex-
change of benefits shall be regulated
by the entirely natural laws of soil,
and capacity of production; and
through which the terms where hu-
man nature is universal and ascendant
over brute forms, will be more com
mon than the lower forms of war
fare and distrust. "
And when he adds, THE brother
hood of man and the love of God
are at the heart of both Eastern and
Western civilization, and together
they will surely move upward, work
ing out the beast, and let the ape and
tiger die, " he presents as a prophet
of humanity and of evolution what
may be termed "the hope of unknown
years.
