Irrigation Urged.

Do we need irrigation? is the
question of the hour, to judge
from the following which apear-
ed in the Telegram:
The possibility of increasing
the agricultural and dairy pro-
ductiveness of the Willamette
Valley by irrigation occupied the
attention of the Board of Trade
at a public meeting held in
Eagles Hall last night. Re-
vision of the irrigation code of
the state so as to facilitate irri-
cation enterprise was discussed
at length, and a letter from
State Engineer John H. Lewis
to Secretary J. B. Laber, advo-
ing steps to procure the services
of an expert from the depart
ment of agriculture in making
an investigation as to the feasi-
bility of irrigation in the William
cite Valley, was read.
The discussion embraced al
most every phase of irrigation
work, and the subjects were
handled by such well-known
authorities as w. w. Cotton, who
spoke on "Vested Rights" H.
l.. Holgate, late legal counsel for
the Government Reclamation
Bureau, who gave an interest
ing review of the results accom-
plished by the department in its
reclamation work; C. C. Hutch
inson, the organizer of the Des-
chutes Irrigation & Power Com
pany, who discussed the ''pro"
side of the Carey act, and Chair
man G. w. Allen, of the excu-
tive committee of the Board of
Trade, who spoke upon the
"con' side of the question.
A. H. Dever's topic, was ''The
Portland Business Mans Inter
est in Irrigation in which
points were brought out showing
why the business interests of
this city should lend every pos
sible encouragement to irri-
cation.
President Nash, of the Board
of Trade held that the product
iveness of the valley land could
be increased from % to Is per
cent with an adequate supply of
water during the growing sea-

In Western Washington, where
the rainfall is at least as great as
in the Willamette Valley, the
people speak proudly of their
state as the Evergreen Seate, y
and they have no sobriquet of
scorn TO bestow upon its citizens.
Oregon has been singularly
in what may be terned
family pride in this respect, and
in the stupid reiteration of stale
Jokes about the climate. It is
silly enough when a Californian
-bumptious and self-satished-
declares that it rains thirteen
months of the year in Oregon;
but we can accredit this exag-
|gerated speech to his ignorance
and intense desire to be funny al
our expense, and let it pass.
But when Oregonians accost each
|other on an unusually stormy.
disagreeable morning with the
words, 'This is Oregon wealth
er." or "Oregou is herself
again." and similar remarks re-
fleeing unjustly upon the climate
of Oregon, they betray a dis
Loyalty which deserves rebuke
and of which they should be
ashamed. State pride should
forbid such expressions, even il
truth were not disregarded, as
it is, in making them. Let Ore
gonians retain from these belit.
Ting expressions. State pride is
closely allied to family pride, and
they who disregard the prompt
ings of the one or the Other
make blunder of which de.
cency and self-respect are asham-
Ied.-Ore gonian.

One cF the sensible things lef
70 the credi. of the Oregon De
velopment League and the Ore
goE Press Association is the
force:ul protest against the term
"Webfoot," as applied in face
tious vein to the State of Oregon
and that of ''mossbacks" as ap.
piled in the spirit of alleged
fun" to Oregonians. The peo-
pie of Oregon are themselves to
blame for these designations,
though perhaps in the outset they
did not intend to cast slur upon
their state, its climate or It's peo-
pie by accepting them. These
terms have, in the light of truth
and civilization, become re-
proach, and instead OF rebuking
their utterauce and the slur that
that the words imply, too many
of our people have echoed them,
Or joined in the laugh to which
they have too often given rise.
It is high time that these terms
were discontinued, and the mis-
representation of the climate and
energy for which they stand be
.obak~5 by .oya. OIegonians.

GOOD INDICATION.

GOOD INDICAIIOH.
It seems that a moral wave is
sweeping over the entire coun-
try. In nearly ever city and
hamlet Of the United States we
hear of steps having been taken
for the suppression of vice, cor
ruption politically, and boodling
in general. The signs of the
times appear favorable. There
is every Indication of a great
reform along all lines.
The movement, whether it
proves lasting Or not, is indica-
tive Of the temper of the COM
mon people and is reassuring.
The time beyond doubt is ripe
for such a movement. These
expressions are the result of
sentiment and are more or less
epidemic. Reform movements
come about much after the same
fashion as a money or financial
crisis. When times are good
and the general condition of the
financial world appears bright
men gain courage and speculate
more rashly until almost every
thing is on a false basis-then,
crash! Conservatism, or in
some cases ultra-conversatism,
rules again and it takes a long
time to reach a state making
possible another crash. But it
comes just the same in time.
Just so. with reforms and
moral waves. These are good
things, but unfortunately the
public in time becomes lax in it's
duty and corruption again gets
the upper hand and affairs, moral
and otherwise, have to tester un-
til qualification sets in before
public opinion demands a thor
ough purging that we may be-
come as white as snow.'
just now we are in the midst
of the task of "cleaning up"
When we each and all have done
our duty we will rest from our
labors and fancy the job is for
ever done. But, alas! like a
cancer, the root of evil at once
begins to take new life and ere
the public is aware has assumed
menacing proportions. Another
battle is on. So it has ever been
and so it will always be. An
eternal warfare must be waged.
At present one would think
that corruption would be stamp
ed out forever, but tits not so.
Here in Oregon we have had our
land frauds and dealt with them
as best we could. Public senti-
ment has been right and demand
ed punishment tor these crimes.
In Portland a war of extermina-
tion has been waged for a year
or two against all manner of
conditions that promised i'll for
good morals-such warfare is
still on. In many towns in Ore
gon similar struggles are in pro-
gress. Oregon is not alone in
her effort to secure better con-
ditions as the people of nearly
every state in the union are en-
deavoring to solve the problem
of how best to better conditions.
All Of which is a good sign.
