section of the Umatilla irrigation
projects main feed canal about rs
feet in length, washed out a mile west
of Echo Sunday morning and the
water is now shut off from the res
ervoir although the reservoir is now
over half full and the break will in no
way interfere with the program of
turning water from the reservoir onto
the land of the project next Wednes-
day as planned by the government.
The break in the canal bank was
caused by seepage through the porous
soil and for several months the gov
ernment had been planning on ce-
menting the canal at that point for
perhaps a mile or more. The canal
at that place runs close to the o. r.
G. n. railroad track and the seepage
has also softened the track and caus-
ed the railroad company much trou-
tle. - II %-AsE4W
The break occurred close to the ce-
ment waste gate and while it did not
wash away any of the railroad grade,
II weakened the track and trains now
run very slowly over the place.
The government engineers have de-
termined to cement a section of the
canal at that place and work will be-
gin at once on the repairs. 1t is esti-
mated that it will cost about s21, 900 |
TO cement a section long enough to
prevent danger to the tracks and a |
force of men will begin on it at once.
The water will be shut off from the |
reservoir into the distributing canals
on Wednesday and the supply in the
reservoir will be used in irrigating the
crops under the bitches.
The little break in the canal will in !

vastated the South, the selfish cor
morants whose patriotism has
never been touched save through
the pocket-nerve forced enact
ment after enactment of public
spoliation and robbery. The wip-
ing out OF the standard dollar
was the elimination of those in
quities, and this was what gave
force to the campaign of 1896. 1t
was merely contention on the
part of the common people against
the wrongs that had been ruth
lessly heaped upon them. Money
won then, but the contest is still
on and the question is the same,
though garbed in other phrase:
Shall the government be conduct
ed in the interest of the people or
remain in the control of their ex-
ploiters?

The August issue of WoMAN's
HOME COMPANION is full of de-
lightful stories-just the right
sort of midsummer reading. Just
to pick up the magazine and look

enhancing illustrations to give
you enjoyment for the entire
month.
Some of the authors are Temple
Baily, Juliet Wilbor Tompkins,
Marion Hill, Ruth Wilson Herrick,
May Isabel Fisk, Clinton Danger
field and j. O'Higgins. And
when we tell you that these stor-
les are illustrated by Orson Lowell,
Alice Barber Stephens, Charlotte
Weber -Ditzler and other famous
artists, you will appreciate what a
treat this summer magazine has in
store for you.
There are serious and practical
things, too. DR.. Hale talks help
fully about "Sleep and Re-Crea-
ton" "The garden in August"
many recipes for summer salads,
meats and substitutes for meats
by Fannie Merritt Farmer and
Christine Terhune Herrick, the
summer Fashions by Grace Mar
garet Gould, Sam Loyd's Own
Puzzle Page, are few of the
things that will interest most
every woman who reads the Au-
gust Woman's Home Companion.

The Ohlahoman tells q good story
illustrative of Protection induced
prosperity;
Perhaps, at last, the people of
this country have really awakened
to a realization of the fact that
prosperity, in some forms, is a
blight. Surely the last impressive
lesson as materialized in the re-
cent panic must convince the most
stubborn partisan that the boast
cd prosperity attaching to the Re-
publican doctrine of high protect
i've tariffs is a delusion and a
snare. 1t spells prosperity for the
few and misery for the many. 1t
manufactures fortunes for the
Rockefellers, Belmonts, Morgans,
Carnegies; and misfortune for the
millions OF plain people in this
land. The country's malady to-
day is prosperity-prosperity of
the Republican high tariff kind.
1t lis like the malady that killed
the Germans wife. An old Cor
man woman became i'll, and her
husband took her to the hospital
for treatment. 1t was necessary
for her to remain there, and the
husband called every day to in
quire about her. Chow iss my
vife?" he asked the first day.
"She is improving" replied the
doctor. The next day he again
asked the doctor. "She is improv-
ing" again said the doctor. The
third and fourth day the answer
was the same. "She is improv--
ing" was the stereotyped reply,
That was very encouraging to the
old German, bnt when he went to
inquire the fifth day he was told
that his wife was dead. In his
grief he sought his favorite saloon
to drown his sorrow. "Vat's de
matter?" asked the sympathetic
bartender, noticing his customers
despondent condition. each! my
wife ISIS dead !" replied the German,
$50? Vat did she die of?" asked
the bartender. "Improvements,' y

calling for another glass of beer.
