CONCERNING GARDEN ROSE
Not Plant in soggy Ground Nor on Cold Day and How to Keep
 Them.

It is not yet too late to plant out roses. especially those ordered from the florist Those fresh from the green house need to be gradually hardened to the outdoor air; but if they have been hardened already by the florist. a5 is usual, by being kept in cooi house, they may be dealt with less tenderiy. Never plant roses in wet. soggy ground, and il is best not to set them on a cold, windy day If the plants come to you when the weather conditions are adverse, put them away in the cellar, or other dark. cool place, with little earth piled over the roots until you can plant them: this is es- pectally intended for field-grown, or dormant roses, of the two or three- year-old size. For the little things sent out in the "dollar=a-dozen" pack ages. more careful treatment is ad- vised. They should be left for half an hour or more in a vessel of tepid water. Some amateurs advise laying the whole plant, root and top, in the water. while others advise putting only the roots under the water. un-
 
 til the plants are sliyened" up. and they can then be taken out of the package and either set in the border. with proper care as to shelter from wind and sun, or potted Hrtil it is safe to put them out in the border These dollar dozen" rose plants are tiny things and need good care. but are so well packed by the florist that, with ordinary care, they will nearly every one of them live If you dc not know anything about the treatment of such roses, study carefully the direc- tlons the florist usually sends out with them; or. take the catalogue which he will send for the asking. and study all the directions given therein. The first year these tiny plants will give you few beautiful roses. but it is the later seasons that see them in their glory. Keep them growing thriftily the first year. and do not let them bloom over much. Then, if you know how to keep them through the winter. the second season will find them estab- lished and ready to delight you as nothing but a thrifty rose bush can do But they are like the children their needs must be met and their natures studied-The Commoner.

Yellow Bathrooms.

Yellow bedrooms are especially cool and fresh-looking in summer. Select a pale yellow. not the warmer shades Topples tulips and small roses are to be had in wall papers. There should be plenty of green foliage. and the ef- feet is better if the white ceiling be brought down as far as the picture molding, which, in turn, should be no higher than the tops of doors and win dows. With the yellow paper green stained furniture is very good, or white enamel may be used. In such a room the narrow iron bed had a covering of pale green sateen over which was laid a dotted swiss spread. The furniture was white, and cushions. etc. were plain green. The one rug was of braid ed rags in several shades of green

The Evening Telegram gives the
following review of the frauds prac-
ticed by alleged homesteaders in ore
gon, as revealed at the land fraud
trials
Evidence adduced by the govern
ment in the trial of Jones, Potter and
Wade for conspiracy to obtain lani
speaks eloquently of the lax enforce
ment of the homestead laws in ore
gon. An utter disregard of the spirit
of the law has been shown in many
cases, but in the main the efforts of
entrymen have been directed toward
getting within the letter of the stature.
Nowhere in the state, it is said, was
the effort to get control of the public
domain so tainted with fraud as in
the Siletz district. where notorious
fraudulent transactions have been
carried on, and the government has
been repeated victimized.
The chief reason of this it is ex-
planned, is the special law governing
the Siletz, whereby timber claims can
not be acquired within the reservation
and the land is open to homesteaders
only. The country is heavily timber
ed. and compliance with the home
stead law there is said by residents to
be extremely difficult. To clear Il
part of a claim to raise agricultural
products is a Herculean task which is
seldom attempted. The almost trop-
ical growth of all kinds of trees and
. underbrush makes travel difficult. and
the cutting of trails expensive.

is said, to be appreciated. Trees
tower 800 feet into the blue, and
stand so closely together that no sun
shine ever warns the ground. People
who live in that vast jungle grow pale
and wan.
The trial reveals what makeshift at
tempts the entryman made to furnish
a showing sufficient to make proof
and acquire title to their claims. Pitt
fully scant improvements on the
homesteads are made to represent an
agricultural beginning. Three OF
four hills of potatoes are called field
on the proofs; little grass is harvest
ed and called hay. a half dozen seed
ling apple trees constitute an or
chard" for purposes of final proof
but Uncle Sam, the honest entrymar
thought he was doing no wrong.
But it is in the construction OF
cabins that the ingenuity of the Sileti
entrymen found its best expression
All sorts of structures were built il
the effort to delude the government
and every claimant swore that thes'
rude cabins were their homes. where
they made continuous residence.
The cabin claimed by j. L. Wells, th'
first witness in the case, is show

RECLAMATION ACT
It Results in Controversy Between
 Public and Private Enterprise

The relation between public and pri- vate enterprise has been the subject of some controversy since the passage of the Reclamation Act. It was assumed by many that the reclamation engineers would confine their operations to de- velopments which offered no attractions to private enterprise, such as the con struction of storage reservoirs on over appropriated streams, or the building of canals to divert the water from un- used streams into rivers where scarcity existed In other words, that the rec lamation service should be confined to operations which would tend to the isting in the arid regions, without com ing into commercial relations with the land or people benefited by it's action. While this would be vastly more satis- factory to those charged with the execu- tion of the Reclamation Act, it would not carry out the provisions of the law that the amounts expended should be repaid by the lands benefited. This provision of the Reclamation Act makes it the first duty of it's executives to sell ect for its operations feasible projects, in which the owners of the land can afford to repay to the reclamation fund the actual amount expended in their reclamation.
 The fact that the funds used under the Reclamation Act are relieved from interest charges makes many projects feasible which could not be profitaby cared out by private enterprise, but this is more than offset by the peren- nial hopefulness of the private promo ter. Every possibility of irrigation de- velopment in the arid region has been at some time by somebody, and if it should be held that the Rec lamation Service should not interfere with private enterprise, it must either

cease it's operations or confne them to projects so utterly chimerical that there would be no human possibility of the return of the money expended.
 While it should be the policy of the service to cooperate with and assist all legitimate private irrigation develop ment, it should not allow false sense of fairness to deprive any community of the opportunity to effect it's develop ment along the broadest possible lines, and it would be anything but fair to such community to decide that an attempt to irrigate it's lands had created a mortgage upon them, and that they must be left to be exploited for private profit, regardless of the wishes of those most vitally interested. It is the rule that whenever the reclamation service has started it's investigations, it has found some part of it's project ovealapp- ing lands which are being exploited by private enterprise. In such cases if there is a reasonable probability that the enterprise will be carried out, it's lands should not be included, unless their exclusion would cripple the pro- ject and in this case some equitable arrangement should be made with the interests nvolved.-Times.

Matthew Green brought to our office this week a broken plowshare which he dug up on his lot, corner of Eighth and G streets about two years ago. When found it was buried about one foot deep in the earth. The plowshire is of the "chilled point" type, which proves that it is not very antiquated, as this type of blow is not more than twenty years old. There was an attempt made in 1893 to colonize the desert. A num- Der of parties from San Bernardno comprising the undertaking.
