OF water grabbing, the East Oregon
ian vehemently advocated the passage
of the irrigation law drafted by the
state irrigation commission at the
last legislature. 1t was told that it
was too radical. That such a law
could not be passed and that it
would hinder the development of the
state.
such claims are not true. 1t would
be much better for the streams to lie
idle. and yet belong TO the people,
than for them to lie idle, increasing
in value constantly, after being appro-
priated by private concerns and then
he sold away from the people forever,
Selfishness has a thousand hands
and voices with which to defend its
rights" Unless the state actually
takes the water over as public prop
erty. irrigation. manufactures and
other future developments will be
made the toy and playthings of pri-
vate companies seeking nothing but
self aggrandizement.
The people should own the water.
Water grabbing should be as illegal
as land grabbing. Use should be the
only title to either land or water.

The advice of Walter Pierce to the
young men and capitalists of Una
tilla county to stay at home and
grasp the chances offered for money
making il this county should be ra-
peated at the breakfast table in every
home in the county every morning.
OF the 100000 sent out of this
county in foreign investments in the
past 20 years, scarcely a dollar of it
brought back another dollar to keep
it company and many thousands of
dollars did not even send back inter-
est. The only great fortunes found in
the county today have been earned
here. Poor men who were sheep
herders and ranch hands 20 years age
are the sheep kings and big farmers
| today. The same opportunities are
| here yet. Poor men with small means
can rent land today, or lease stock
| take up homesteads and work, and In
time be wealehy. 1t requires time, il
| is true, but the rich men in the COIN
| ty today came here when they were
boys and are today wearing the eal
marks of age about their temples Il
takes time. But you must live some
where, somehow, and much better
here than in a country in which the
inducements are less and the com
petition greater.

MAKE READY FOR THE PEOPLE

Bryan sounded the first gun of the
1908 presidential campaign at the
jefferson day banquet in Chicago,
when he called attention to the in
creasing perfection of railroad man
agement, in making ready for public
ownership.
Men of brains and honor, the high
est to be found in the world, are at
the head of the great railroad sys-
TENS of the United States. President
Roosevelt has twice within the past
year recognized the efficiency of rail-
road men by making Paul Morton
secretary of the navy, and by max
ing Wallace chief engineer of the
Panama canal.
The best ability of these able men
is being concentrated in perfecting
the management of the great systems.
Aside from their profit gathering
policies, the railroads are rushing to-
ward public ownership.
They are completing and polishing
their internal organization; they are
organizing and regulating with mil
| itary precision, the vast throngs OF
employees; they are making rules fol
promotion, moral conduct, graduated
salaries, and other vital arrange
ments, and in the course of a few
years more, the transfer of the it'll
to the government will be the onl.
thing necessary to install successful
government ownership.

NO FEAR OF CENSUS RETURNS.

Pendleton is not standing on one
foot nor sleeping with one eye open
in fear of the census returns showing
a decrease Of population, as they
have done in other eastern oregon
towns.
The increase in population and
business has been steady and perma-
nent. There has been no mushroom
growth nor frothy addition to popu-
lation. Every man, woman and child
found in the city will be able to give
good reason for their appearance
here and will be branded as fixed
residents. ,-tas
The population as given by the fed
eral census of 1900 was but 44OO, q
showing at that time far below the
estimates, but there will be no sucf
disappointment in the returns of the
present census.
Conservative estimates in advance
fix the population of the city at 100
The school population last year wa!
1921, and it is thought that fully 1SOl
will be mustered on the rolls thi'
year.
And this is the most favorable sea
son at which Pendleton could submi
to a count. Several hundred bona
fide residents have moved to thei
farms for the summer. Allowance
should be made for this.

HARVESTING THE LAMB CROP.

Colorado men who fed lambs this
year are very happy. They have a
big balance and 1t is on the right side
of the ledger. Most of them were able
to buy their lambs right last fall
and the phenomenal advance in
prices this past winter permitted
them to realize the largest profits
ever secured in this line of business.
Since the middle of January these
lambs have been coming to market
freely. but the harvest is still on,
though close to rs per cent Of the
lambs have been marketed. The
highest price reached this season was
sS.25. The top last year was $3.50;
in 1908, $3.50; 1902, $3.50; 1901,
$3.50; 1900, S7.55.-Chicago Livestock

WATER GRABBING PROCEEDS.

The news columns of Oregon pa
pers are filled every day with ac-
counts of the grabbing of the, splen-
did streams of the state by private
corporations, for speculative pur-
poses.
The Santiam is the latest stream
appropriated, over 100000 inches of
water having been filed upon by pow
er and mill companies within the past
month, in that stream.
This is developed, to be sure, but
is it the right kind of development
for the benefit of the people Of Ore

Cities and towns along the Santiam
are now without power or lighting
facilities, and yet city councils have
either been asleep or hand in glove

gain perpetual control of the price.

little girl on his knee, looking at
the spectacle of death as presented by
a little white coffin. In which lay
the body of a little child, in response
to the little ones question as to the
meaning of death, the poet could only
answer: "I don't know The fol-
lowing poem was the result:
The Two Mysteries.
We know not what it is, dear, this
sleep so deep and still,
The folded hands, the awful calm,
the cheek so pale and chill;
The lids that will not lift again,
though we may call and call;
The strange white solitude of peace
that settles over all.
We know not what it means, dear,
this desolate heart pain;
This dread to take our daily way and
walk in it again;
We know not to what other sphere
the loved who leave us go,
Nor why we're left to wonder still,
nor why we do not know.
But this we know, our loved and dead,
if they should come this day
Should come and ask us, what is
lfe?" not one of us could say.
Life is a mystery as deep as ever
death can be;
Yet oh. how sweet it is to us, this life
we live and seei
Then might they say-these vanished
ones-and blessed is the
thought!
$50 death is sweet to us, beloved!
though we may tell ye naught
We may not tell it to the quick-the
mystery of death
Ye may not tell us il ye would, the
mystery of breath"
The child who enters life comes not
with knowledge or intent,
So those who enter death must go as
little children sent.
Nothing is known. But 1 believe that
God is overhead;
And as life is to the living, so death
is to the dead.

Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due to anemic
nerve centers. The nerve centers are
the reservoirs of nervous vitality. These
centers become bloodless for want of
proper nutrition. This is especially true
in the spring season. Every spring a
host of invalids are produced as the di-

This could be easily obviated by the
use of Peruna. Peruna strikes at the

the senate has decided that the treaty
should be reported as soon as posi-

in two sessions of the committee the
proceedings were with a view to re-
porting the treaty today, if possible.
The amendments offered in the com

desire that the measure be kept from
