when one year ago the Supreme
Council enacted the tables of assess
ment. now usually called the new rate
system, IL was only after the most
careful Investigation and consideration
The necessities of our fraternity, how
ever, made some change imperative.
What that change should be. and
whether the same should be permanent
or temporary, were matters Of anxious
and prolonged thought and resulted in
the adoption Of the plan that has now
become familiar 10 the membership. SO
radical measure, il was apprehended,
might meet with some opposition due
10 honest differences Of opinion as to
the eXpediency or necessity of the
change But il was candidly believed
that a better understanding of the sit

ciples Of permanency and adequacy un-
derlying the system would readily
prove satisfactory to the brethren. II

BETTER IRRIGATION LAWS.

There is a mission ahead of the
/ Umatilla County Development league
if it grasps the situation and develops
| the opportunity that is now at hand
1t stands as the industrial representa-
tive of Umatilla county. Anything
that will promote the interests of the
county is a part of the work of the
league.
The state of oregon is in need of
more comprehensive irrigation and
water right laws. The present laws
are complicated and actually block
ade development in the irrigated dis
tricts. because of the uncertainty of
water rights and the opportunity that
is furnished corporations under this
law to monopolize the priceless water
rights Of the state.
By agitation and education the
CmatiIla County Development league
can secure the passage OF a new irri-
cation law. intended to meet the pro-
gressive era which has come upon the
state.
The citizen should be assured of his
rights. There should be no uncer-
tainty. No man would wish to cuIti-
vate farm for years and bring it to
a high state of development through
vast cost in labor and money, only to
have his rights swept away by court
decree at the last. This is a chaotic
condition, and a law should be passed
which will get down at the bottom OF
matters and give every home owner
the assurance of his rights.
To secure such a law is part of
the mission of the Development
league. Umatilla county stands as the
representative of the arid district in
oregon. Irrigation is being brought
to a higher state of development here
than in any other section Ul the state,
and in order to secure the best posi-
BILE surroundings for irrigators. and
to insure perpetual and well known
rights for every owner of a home, a
better law regulating irrigation should
be passed.
The candidates for the legislature
are urged to meet with the develop
ment league, discuss the wishes Of
the county and make an effort to
frame a law which viii meet the
needs Of the state.
The development Of the state de-
pends upon the wisdom of the laws
which govern 1t. New settlers will
hesitate to buy land which is standing
on uncertain ground, as to its water
rights. Capital must be sure of its
rights before it invests and thus Ore
gon is held back by the very uncer-
tainty and complication of her water
right laws.

their children, spend their salaries in
the community and form one of the
most substantial ana never-failing
sources of business.
While earning their own salaries
and enjoying their homes they are at
the same time ma,Ing business for
others, and thus tn permanent pay
roll is the greatest a7~cJ ~ the COM
mnnity.
The list of manufactured articles
produced in Umatilla codaty is sur
prising when 1t is considered that the
county is less than half century old.
Many of the older counties in the state
produce much less than Umatilla, and
the era of manufacturing has actu-
ally not arrived in this county yet.
When power is to be had in greater
quantities and at less cost and when
new type of capitalist comes, then
the true manufacturing age will have
arrived.
The present manufactures of the
county include blankets, Indian robes,
wooden garments. shawls, rugs, yarn.
lumber, SASH doors, structural iron,
castings, special cereal foods, corn
meal bottled goods brick building
blocks of cement. brooms, sorghum,
bacon, lard, cured meats, vinegar,
butter, cheese, candy, bakery prod
ucts. Indian ornaments and curios and
Indian baskets and moccasins.
Think of samples of all these arti-
cles being seen on display at Port
land next week! No other county in
the state could make a better show
ing. considering relative development.

ARE WE BEING EFFF.MINIZED? :?

In tho the United States there are
at least 100000 more men than wo-
men, and only one-tenth of the wo-
men are at work outside of their own
homes. Yet the stamp of feminine
mind is upon everything American,
and in many of the higher phases of
culture wcmen take the initiative.
This rule of women in the United
States begins in our public schools,
where boys and girls are educated to-
gether, and wher the teacher is al
ways, in the lower grades. at least,
a woman. In the great cities the fem
mime influence goes into every nook
and Granny of social development.
A woman has been suggested as
mayor of Chicago, and the "civic
creed" of Chicago was composed by
a woman, and is recited every day by
thousands of school children. Women
compose, very largely, the reading
public and no current novel can sue
ceed without their patronage. Some
of the most successful magazines are
devoted to their interests exclusively.
and those given to scientific and phil
osophic discussions seldom exist long.
or they become the organs of small
and detached organizations of men.
Art exhibits are conducted by wo-
men, and women hold executive Off
ces in worlds fair committees. They
serve as chairmen of school boards,
and they torment, through their muni-
cipal leagues. the party leaders. They
are notable as charity workers, and
they have made regulations as doc
tors, lawyers. magazine editors, news
paper reporters, preachers, political
speakers and labor organizers and agi-
tators. Indeed, where IN the United
States do We not find the woman
with her influence, battering at all
doors?-The Worlds Work.

THE MOCkING BIRD.

He didn't know much nTcsic
When first he come along;
An all the birds went wonderin
Why he didn't sing soDg.
They primped their feathers in the
sun,
An sung their sweetest notes;
An music Just come on the ruS
From all their purity throatsI
But still the bird was silent
In summer time am fall;
He jest set still an listened.
An he wouldn't sing at all.
But one night when them songSters
Was tired out an STILL,
An the wind sighed down the valley
An went creepin' up the hill;
When the stars was all a-tremble
In the dreamin' fields o. blue,
An the daisy in the darkness
Felt the fallin' o. the dew.
There come a sound o. melody
No mortal ever heard
An all the birds seemed singin'
From the throat of one sweet bird
Then the other birds went Nayin
In a land too fur to CALI
Fer there w6rn't no use in stayin'
When one bird could sing fer all.
