Fourteen Year-Old Boy Would Not Be
 Outdone by the Older Girls.
 New York. July 29.-Two sisters and a brother of Minnie Mertz of Bloom ingdale, \. J.. who was horribly dis figured month ago by some unknown fiend who threw vitriol on her, gave up portions of their skin Thursday, which was grafted on the girls face
 The terrible wound would not heal. owing to the extent of the burned sur face. and when Dr Mccoy. resident physician of the General hospital of Paterson. gave the opinion that skin grafting would have to be resorted to, the two sisters, Gertrude, 24 years old. and Annie. IS. readily agreed to have skin removed from their bodies.
 Then little Walter. IA years old, in- sisted that he. too. should help his sis ter. and stoutly declared that as he was the man of the family he was not going to let the girls take all the suffering. They told him that it would be painful, but he said he was not afraid of pain.
 All three went to the hospital Thurs day morning and warmly greeted their sister They did their best to cheer her up. and she told them how good they were to suffer for her sake. Then all four were taken into the operating pavilion and made ready for the or deal.
 Each one suffered severely. but not sound escaped them. Little Walter. not to De outdone by his sisters, smiled steadily throughout the opera ton. About eighteen inches of cuticle was transferred and it is believed that the grafting will prove successful

"way down dar in Georgia" about 12 miles from Athens. is located "Smithonia.' Smithonia Is not q town. Smlthonia is just great big farm. farm of 23.0O0 acres. the an nual crops of which yield their owner something more than sl0.00O per an- mum. and the management of which centers in just one man, Colonel James M. Smith of Smithonia.
 Colonel Smith is now 6i years old He began farming just after the war on 6 of the thousands of acres that he now owns. His first years exper- fence cost him just Si00. His harvest was just two bales ar cotton and J0 bushels of corn. Now his farm pro duces each year. 5000 bales of cot ton. 25.Do bushels of corn. 12.c00 bushels of wheat. 16.GC0 bushels of oats. 6Op0 bushels of cowpeas. 5000 bushels of sweet potatoes. 10000 bushels of turnips. J0 tons of hay and forage. ....
 These are merely the crops he har- vested in the fields. Hogs. mules. horSeS. beef cattle and dairy cows find pasturage on his farm. the dairy department of the great enterprise turning out annually 2ps0 pounds of butter for the market Smithonia on the whole Is q remarkable example of what one man can do when he eoncent-ate< his energies inteIligentIy on one thing

oRFGoN's STATE FLOWER.

In connection with the recent gifts
of oregon grape sent by the Portland
Commercial Club 10 prominent East
ern people, George H. Hines gives
an interesting account Of the origin
OF the shrub. and its adoption as the
state flower Of oregon.
The first known reference To the
shrub is in Parsh's Flora of North
America. published by James Black
& SON. London. England. 1916. and it
is there first called "Oregon Grape
or "Holly-leayed Barberry'
while considered q shrub the ore
gon grape sometimes attains a height
Of II feet. with diameter OF four
and a half inches" SAYS Mr.. Hines. u
have a sample OF that size in my Gus
tody now. The flower blooms in
April. is very handsome, though deli
cate and is a bright lemon yellow In
color. The fruit grows in small clus-
ters. resembles small dark purple
cranes. and. while edible, is very
sour. but makes excellent jelly.
1t was unuN my uoLlohs dl q li't'
ing Of the Oregon Horticultural Socie-
~ in 1899 that the question Of adopt
ing state flower was first raised
my personal choice being the Oregon
grape ON account of it's permanent
LEAKAGE i'm variegated colors. accord
ing to its exposure to the sun. and III
marvellous adaptation for decorative
purpose at all seasons Of the year.
After consideration by the abov'
society for two years in which th'
claims Of other flowers were urged !
was adopted on July IS. 1892. Tn
women's Federated Clubs Of Oregon
secured the passage Of resolutions b.
both houses Of the state Legislature o
Oregon. 1899 formally declaring tn
Oregon grape to be the state flower.

committee appointments and IN
PROMISES ON legislation. which actu-
ally amounted TO a victory TO the
democrats. considering their small
minority.
Nottingham. the anti-machine cam
didate for president of the senate,
was supported by the democrats, and
had the Kuykendan forces not con-
eeded to the demands of the anti

have won the day. but rather than
tie I'D the senate for a day, the Not
tipgham forces and the democrats
accepted the concessions granted by
the Jack Matthews crowd, and sac
rificed the presidency of the senate
to the good of the state.
Even though the Portland machine
won the day. from all outward ap'
pearances. yet it won it at the price
of some of its most cherished ideals
and the state is better off because
of the deadlock of "a hours.

TWO EXTREME SENTIMENTS.

1t seems strange to think that the
two opposite extremes of irrigation
sentiment. as represented in two bills
now before the Legislature. should
both come from Umatilla county
members
In house bill No. 81. known as the
Cole bill. or the irrigation commits
sion's bill and in senate bill No. -,
known as the Pierce bill. the extreme
poles of irrigation thought are rep
resented.
The Cole bill contemplaJes the
state ownership of all unused waters,
and makes water a property Just as
land. to be under strict regulation.
just as the unused public domain
the Pierce bill says that water is alb
soiutely no mans property. and that
every man has a right to go upon any
stream and set up a notice that ne

water. The Pierce bill recognizes no
authority except the courts, while
the Cole bill says that the state is
the owner and the custodian Of all
unused water. and that proprietor
snip can come only through regular
application TO the state authority and
a granted property right. just as a
man acquires land from the public
domain. after ne establishes mis- pur-
pose to use il for a beneficial use.
The Pierce bill leaves the irrigation
code Of the state where it is today
declares that water is public prop
erty. leaves the entire question dis

courts. while the bill prepared by IN

by Representative Cole, organizes tn
subject of irrigation on a practic'
basis. makes all unused water II

BILE board OF commissioners. who

ficulties and grant water rights and
really places irrigation on distinct
basis. as one OF the great arms Of
the Industrial interests OF the state,
The Pierce bill encourages specu-
lation in water. creates an owner
shin in water that cannot be used
by the appropriation. except as a
marketable commodity. while the
Cole bill makes the water appurte-
nant to. and part of the land. AND
MAKES USE THE ONLY PRoPRJE-
ToRsHIP.
The Pierce bill says that an appro-
priator may. by posting a notice ON
a stream. become the owner OF any
amount of water not used by prior
appropriations. thus placing the water
in every stream in Oregon at the
mercy of private ditch and irrigation
corporations. to the exclusion OF the
actual settler. while the Cole bill says
the water is part OF the land, that
any title to water must be founded
on use. and that no appropriation car
claim or acquire title TO water that
the land which he owns does not neec
nor require.
The bill formulated by the irriga'
ton commission and presented by
Representative Cole. conforms TO th'
ideas of the reclamation department
on the subject It is practically th'
same law in force in Idaho today
and il is something near the form
that must be adopted by oregon.

Oregon has received q straight til
on this point, several times within tn
past year.
The time has come for the or
ganization Of the irrigation industrr
in Oregon. II may cause losses L
private owners. So would the bust
ing of the beef trust cause losses L
private owners
1t is a fact that cannot be dodged
that the government is determined l
make water a part of the land. an
thus destroy all speculation in tina
which belongs to the people.
Oregon can either get on that ba
sis. or make up her mind to foreg
the immeasurable benefits TO com
from the government irrigation c

the bills. and knows that the plan

things TO do. THAT Is TO GET I
