The irrigators of Oklahoma have or
ganized into body and will be at the
National Irrigation congress at Boise
in force from September to 8. They

If there's any doubt in your mind
that Washington state can produce
the finest dairy cattle in the country
turn to the picture on the first page
of this issue. The picture depicts
dairy herd in Spokane county taking
their monday rest by a cool stream
in the shadow of big trees. Such
scenes as this are not uncommon
throughout the state.
Fruit canneries are not much
thought of when there is no fruit to
put up, but when the season rolls
around and the growers realize how
much they lose by not having a
cannery in their midst they begin to
talk about establishing one. If they
would keep up the agitation out of
season as they do in season they may
see number Of them built.

 The Reconstruction Period.
 That there might be reconstruction there must have been construction. An edifice, or government must be built | and overthrown before it can be re- built. Prior to 1861, the Southern States had as stable governments and as orderly society as any part of the United States As a result of the Civil War, the State governments of tho South were overthrown, the labor sys. tems demoralized. and social condi- tions left in chaos. This brings us tC the Reconstruction Period"
 The work of reconstructing the South of shaping anew its social, economic and civil conditions was an lmmens, one, and was filled with great dtficul ties.

ed in the plan to secure convictions for

the House and says that he has given
the names of all the men who took
bribes to District Attorney Moran.
Moran sees in this chance to run as
a radical candidate for Governor, if he
can only secure enough convictions of
Legislators for taking bribes to create
the belief that the whole political sys-

something of the same resentment which
the insurance revelations aroused in
New York last year. The regular Dem
oeratic machine is against Moran in this
ambition. but Hearst's Boston paper is
with him, and In view of the independent
campaign which Moran conducted for his
present office last fall the prospect for
an energetic and possibly successful
campaign is excellent The first step,
however, is the indictments Those have
not materialized as yet If the Grand
Jury does not take the same view that
Mr.. Gethro and Mr.. Lawson do of the
wiekedness under the gilded dome, poll

should be indicted. however, Massachu-
