water was turned into the new irriga-
ton bitches near Echo, and this was
the fancy that guided his pen:
STANDING on the bank of the govern
ment irrigation canal yesterday near
Echo, admiring the great volume of
water flowing toward the reservoir
which is to reclaim %, 900 acres of sage
brush land in western Umatilla county,
an old pioneer declared that he could
scarcely believe it is the same old UNA
tilla county, the same old sage brush,
the same old hills,
Here through the waste land which
has been the haunt of the rabbit for
centuries, the current of the river is
now flowing, like a lifegiving spirit,
awakening the verdure, starting the
pink of the peach bloom, spreading the
green of the alfalfa through the domain
of the sage.
Utah has Seen the same TRANSFORMED
ton. Idaho has been stripped of her
ancient habiliments. Wyoming is a
new state. Nevada is breathing again
with renewed life. Colorado is vigor-
GUS queen under irrigation. California
is dream of bloom and beauty and
Oregon will become model of the new
world development when her rivers and
deserts are united in irrigation.
"Itis almost unbelievable until you
stand on the bank of the canals and see
the water flowing through the sage
brush wastes. Green grass is growing
where nothing green has ever been
seen before. Shrubbery is starting up
vigorously where never a tree lifted up
its arms in gladness before. Flowers
are blooming and crops are thriving
where no verdure ever looked up to the
god of nature before, and it is all on
that same old desert, among that same
old sagebrush, on those same old bar
rem hills.
at is the marvel of water, the SER
mon of the flowing river, the dream of
the ditch maker, the realization of the
poets fancies, the fruition of the hope
of the irrigation crank who has been
laughed at in every age, but who is yet
the greatest civilizer known to man.

WOOD LOTS or JAPAN.
Example Furnished Of Tree Growing
on Small PIo4s-

In these times of great drains on the
timber supplies, caused by the heavy
demand for forest products of all
kinds, Americans may see in Japan an
example Of what can be done In grow
ing wood on small plots.
That country contains 21OO0,OOO
wood lots, about three-fourths of which
belong 20 private persons and one
fourth 10 communes. The average size
Of the plot is less than nine-tenths Of
an acre. They usually occupy the
steepest, toughest poorest ground. In
this way land is put to use which
would otherwise go to waste and If
unwooded would lose fits soil by the
wash Of the dashing rains.
From Japan's wood lots the yearly
Yield Of lumber rs about eighty-eight
feet, board measure, an acre and three
fourths OF a cord of firewoOd. In many
cases the yield Is much higher. More
than 500,O0O.OOO trees are planted year
~ to make up what Is cut for lumber
and fuel.
With all the care In cutting and the
industry In replanting II is by no
means certain that Japan's forests are
holding their own. II the preservation
OF the forests is doubtful there, 1t is
evident that depletion must be alarm
ingly rapid IN other countries which
cut unsparingly and plant very little.
On the other hand, II Is encouraging TO
see what can be done with rough. steep
and poor land. The United States has
enough Of that kind 10 grow billions Of
feet OF lumber Pathfinder.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES:


There was a man who went through
life and found
The way both dark and hard-Fate
willed it so;
And facing much that others could
not see,
He overcame much that they did
not know.
Because he smiled, perhaps, but once
a day,
''He is a pessimist,7 his friends would
say.
Another man there was whose lines
of life
Were cast in pleasant places; not a
care
He had. While others struggled help
lessly,
The world to him was always bright
and fair,
Because he smiled so much, men
would insist
That he was just an ideal optimist.
Which, think you, of the two, deserved
The greater credit? Whose side
would you take?
The man who fought his fght-and
sometimes smiled,
Or he who smiled-but had no fight
to make?

The Travellers Protective association
Of Washington and Oregon, in meeting
in Portland last week, declared them
selves in favor Of sheets nine feet long
in all hotels, and the associations being
a non-partisan organization it will get
what it wants. If the voters would
by their ballot create little opposition
in politics, instead Of gulping down the
whole ticket and platform of a single
political party year after year, public
demands for needed reforms would be
as effective as are the demands of the
Travellers association.

Train lnlures Deaf Mute.

Shawnee, Okla, May l6.-Aiter hav.
ing been knocked down and run over
by an entire Katy train at Shawnee
today. George Barry, deaf mute, is
still alive and has good chances to
recover. Barry stepped on the rail-
road track and started to walk north,
not seeing a train approaching from
the south about fifty yards distant,
and not hearing the whistle, made no
effort to get of the track. Before the
train could be stopped 1t had passed
over him. One of his legs was hro%'
en- and his head badly bruised, but his
skull was not fractured, He was
conscious when picked up and car
ried on sign conversation.

A Machly ovcr..ted show.

The much heralded and widely
discussed drama, THE Devil" was
offered at She1ton's opera house Fri
day night before one OF the largest
audiences Of the season, and those
who went with the expectation of
seeing a rare dramatic treat were
disillusioned of that idea before the
end OF the first act. There is little
in the plot and less In the dialogue
to commend the play to the public.
One is not long in forming the con-
clusion that the piece has been
greatly overrated by the versatile
press agent. The story ia as old az
the hills and 1t Ia not necessary to
80 to the theatre to see, portrayal
OF the characters which are featured
In THE Devil sss
The ladies in the cast wore beau
tiful costumes and some of the stage
settings were handsome and while
the leading parts are not very exact
ing, still they were interpreted In a
capable manner. Lionel LAwrance'e
impersonations OF the role of 1.-The
Devil" were good. He is an actor OF
ne physique. with a voice OF range
and deepness. Walter G. Percival
and George l.. Stout were quite
clever in their respective roles. Mar
ion Sheridan was quite acceptable as
Olga Holman. and although she had
the leading feminine role. she was
greatly excelled by Salome Park as
Elsa Berg and Josie Slayter as Mimi.
