The Salton sea, which is now under
control, affords an unusual opportuni-
ty to study evaporation and connected
phenomena, and the geological survey,
the weather bureau and the reclama-
ton service of the United States have
combined for the most exhaustive study
OF the subject ever undertaken. The
body of water is to be accurately
measured, as we'll as the heat of the
sun over its surface, and the accom-
panying meteorological conditions will
be carefully observed. The theory
was advanced long ago that the pres
ence of such an inland sea would ex-
ert so beneficial an effect on climate
and agriculture that it would be worth
while to dig a canal to let the waters
of the Colorado back to their old basin.
The studies now undertaken should
show definitely whether that theory
was sound.

The pitiabIe clay of the worlds multi
tudes.
An anxious generation sends us forth
might.
From West and East, from South and
North,
Earth's children, weary eyed from too
much light,
Cry from their dream forsaken wales of
pain,
"Give us our gods, give us our gods
again!'
A lofty and relentless century,
Gazing with argus eyes,
Has pierced the very Utmost halls Of
faith;
And left no shelter whittier man may
flee
From the cold storms of night and
lovelessness and death.
Old gods have fallen and the new must
rise!
Out of the dust Of doubt and broken
creeds
The sons of those who cast mems
idols low
Must build up for a hungry peoples
needs
New gods, new hopes, new strength to
toll and grow;
Knowing that nought that ever lived
can die;
No act, no dream but spreads it's sails,
sublime,
Sweeping across the visible seas of
time
Into the treasure haven of eternity.
The portals are open, the white road
leads
Through thicket and garden, DER stone
| and sod.
On. up! Boot and saddle! Give spurs to
your steeds!
There's a city beleaguered that cries
for mems deeds,
For the faith that is strength and the
love that is God!
On through the dawning! Humanity
calls!
| Life's not a dream in the clover!
On to the walls, on to the walls,
On to the walls, and over!

PERHAPS THE COMING
BARD OF AMERICA

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, June 2s.-Her-
mann Hagedorn, Jr., of New York,
who was this week declared by the
Rev Francis Peabody to be the best
class day poet ever heard at Harvard,
i young looking for his age of Is,
slight in build and of dark complexion.
When he received his degree this week
from President Eliot it was summa
cum laude and every one gave him
hearty applause as he received the
xheepskin.
The class day poem was entitled "a
Troop of the Guard 1t follows:
There's trampling of hoofs in the busy
street,
There's clanking of sabers on floor and
stair,
There's sound of restless, hurrying
feet,
Of voices that whisper. of lips that en-
treat.
VIII they live. will they die. will they
strive, will they dare?
The houses are garlanded, flags Aut-
ter gay,
For troop of the Guard rides forth
today
Oh, the troopers will ride and their
hearts will leap,
When it's shoulder to shoulder and
friend to friend
But It's some to the pinnacle, some
10 the deep,
And some in the glow Of their strength
IN sleep.

And for all it's a fight to the tales
far end.
And it's each to his goal, nor turn nor
sway,
When the troop of the Guard rides
forth today.
The dawn is upon us, the pale light
speeds
To the zenith with glamor and golden
dart.
On, up! Boot and saddle! Give spurs
to your steeds!
There's a city beleaguered that cries
for mems deeds,
With the pain of the world in it's
cavernous heart
Ours be the triumph! Humanity calls!
Life's not dream in the clover!
On to the walls, on to the walls,
On to the walls. and over!
| The wine is spent, the tale is spun,
The revelry of youth is done.
The horses prance, the brides clink,
While maidens fair in bright array
With US the last sweet goblet drink,
Then bid us Mount and ride away!"
Into the dawn we ride, we ride,
Fellow and fellow, side by side;
lGalloping over the field and hill,
lover the marshIand, stalwart still,
Into the forests shadowy hush
Where spectres walk in sunless day,
And in dark pool and branch and
bush
The treacherous will O. the wisp lights
play,
Out of the wood meath the risen sun,
Weary we gallop, one and one,
Ito a richer hope and a stronger foe
And a hotter fight in the fields below
Each man his own slave, each his
/ lord,
For the golden spurs and the victor's
sword!
Friends of the great, the high, the
perilous years.
Upon the brink of mighty things we
stand
OF golden harvests and of silver tears,
And griefs and pleasures that like
grains of sand
CLEAN in the hourglass, yield their
place and die,
Like a dark sea our lives before us
| lie,
And we. like divers Ger pearl strewn
| deep,
Stand yet an instant in the warm,
young sun,
Plunge, and are gone.
And over pearl and diver the restless
breakers sweep.
On to the quest! Today
In joyful revelry we still may play
With the last golden phantoms of dead
| years.
Hearing above the stir
The old protecting music in our ears
OF f1uttering pinions and the voice of

The Mighty Mother, watching DER her
sons.
Today we still may crouch beneath her

Dreaming of unimagined things;
Tomorrow we part.
OF the worlds depthless, palpitating
heart
One with the living, striving millions
Whose lives beat out the ceaseless,
rhythmic song
OF joy and pain and peace and love
and wrong.
We may not dwell on solitary heights;
There is a force that draws men breast
to breast
In the hot swirl of never-ending fights,
| When man-enriched, despoiled, OPP

By the great titans of the earth who

Elk City roads and the action of the
Commercial Club, while you fill col

If it were not for pioneer 0rangeville
or other border towns along mount
aims foothills, the woodsman, mountain
'eer, and would be-miner" would never
venture into the vastness of the hills
beyond to search for hidden treasure.
Were it not for his being there no Elk
City or other city would build up COM
munity of people among whom "the
business men, would or could be the
heaviest subscribers to a road fund.
And, after all, is it not they who share
the public benefit of such improvement
equally if not in greater measure than
any class of the public masses?
Elk City really needs this road and
credit is due her people for the gener-
GUS result of the Road League COM
mittee.
Sites has certainly done nobly in her
own behalf and deserves recognition for
the energy and alertness in protecting
her interests.
Grangeville has done more toward the
building of trails and roads and popu-
lating the hills these highways give
entrance to than any other community,
and still she stands ready to assist to a
greater extent. But it does not seem
just to be denied the credit and made
little of by the only newspaper of the
mountain district.
Would it not be more in the spirit of
the Growing West" to do all you can,
be thankful for all you get, and lump
the whole efforts of everyone, much or
little, for the good of the majority?
Yours truly,
