Desolation.

The wintry raindrops patter
Where the crowds were wont to chez
And the birds convene and chatter
In the grandstand, bleak and drear:
The grass lies brown and tangled.
And the cricket's note is heard,
Where of old the umpire wrangled
With the man who slid to third.
Oh, the ruined ancient city,
In its mute and cold distress,
Moves the soul to no such pity
For it's gloom and loneliness;
IT'S the old and mournful story
OF the greatness that must fall,
That we read, midst shattered glory,
Where they used to play base ball.

Indian Unrest.
m the New York Tribune,

Unrest in India is obviously becc ming
more ominous. That is confessed by the
government in it's enactment Of q sum-
mary Justice bill for dealing with sedi-
ton For weeks the news from that
empire has been almost daily marked
with reports of dacoity. or of assassina-
ton attempted or effected. Dynamite plots
have been discovered, bomb-throwing has
been INDUCED in and indictments to
wholesale massacre and instruction have
been and are numerous in the press. There
have been hints at general uprising in
April next. Whether they are fulfilled or
not there can be little question that the
government is now facing the most seri-
Gus problem which 1t has had before 1t
since the great mutiny of half century
ago.

Emperor William.

There is something rapt. mystic won

him and a torchlight parade an abomina-
ton He bids fair to become as con-
spicuous by studied inconspicuousness as
he has been for years on parade. 1t is
noticeable too, that his embowered re-
pose comes at time when another cele-
brated character is in fullest blast Is
there deliberate intention in this contrast,
or is the imperial hermit merely enjoying
a fresh role?

1T is NECESSARILY COSTLY.

III our farmers and land owners do
not realize that irrigation will cost a
goodly sum OF money per acre they
might as we'll wake up to the fact
that you can not double and treble
the price OF land without having 1t
cost something in proportion to the
financIal enhancement. The fact that
1t will bs expensive should not deter
any land owner from putting his
holdings under water, for the land

sion that irrigation is inexpensive.
1t Is quite amusing to note the
different opinions held regarding the
cost Of irrigation. One of our
farmers assured the writer that II
could be done for $40 an acre; an
other. THAT 1t would cost $25 per acre,
and still another was willing to pay
$50 and would pay $40 rather than not
have 1t. Still another said that ht
did not believe that we could secure
irrigation for less than $500 per acre
These opinions, 30 much at variano'
will gives fair idea Of how little II

ing water TO the lands Of the Rogue
River valley. The writer does no
pretend TO know how much our farmer
will be obliged to pay to have thei

that the very fact that part of tn,
