meaning of this was borne in upon me: it was only

there was sermon lecture, w hole polemc, in
stone accurately and strong Y thrown from the
hand of the Hired Man.
One day the Hired Man riding about on the
reaper and binder at the far end OF the lot and as
of the women watched him. she said
"A primrose by the rivers brm yellow prinn-
rose was to him, and it was nothing more
There was certain swing and beauty IN this re-
mark that, despite the disapproval of the tone,

every possible disapproya OF that Hired Man; put
it. | have learned though, that when thing
along that you don't understand it's likely
to be something valuable; ust think how telt
first about those barbed wire fences,-hated
them, used up all the adect1ves in the Bovine
language, and invented lot of ones to talk
about them,-and now Well, if there is anything
nicer to run an obstreperous calf against than

So L felt about that woman 5 remark Just as L

L thought about it good deal while was getting
my cud chewed that day, and even during the
night. So the next morning went down to the
edge of the brook if | could find primrose.
That's the way have: always trying to get at the
root of things 1t is very interesting to me to see
how logically my mind works Besides telt that

the real thing before me. But there was not
primrose in sight, and l discouraged till l

yellow and growing by the rivers brim, they
must be about the same thing anyway.
Well, as | say, | sat down to look at those cow

yellow primrose to the Hired Man, and to blame
him for it But the longer l sat there the less 1
could imagine what else it could be. There were
those cowslips, blooming away like anything, and
not trying to be anything else than cowslips And
why anyone should want that Hired Man to think

Why Men Gamble
Continued from page s

YOU his master,-has there ever been greater salts
faction? See the happy self satisfied expression on
the face of the girl who has first prize at
whist party, and you will get an mixing OF what
the serious gamblers feelings must be.
Again gambling satisfies old superstitions
and notions about luck which stored away in
the cellar of our mental structure like ancestral
heirlooms Try your uck! barks the faker at
the fair, and, whether he knows it not, he is APP
peaing to the oldest propensity in our souls. Who
will spend few cents to find out whether he is
lucky and how many men trusting in the wheel of
fortune as the Greeks did in the Delphic oracle.
have launched into business ventures which they
otherwise would have hesitated to undertake?
Superstition turks in all of We like to think
that we are the favored of Fortune. the chosen
ones of the gods; but in the gambler these super
stitions become almost religion. Beau Brummel,
who died in utter poverty, attributed the reversal
of his fortune to his having given away by mistake
a silver siXpenCe with hole in it which somebody
had given him years before with injunction to
take good of it. everything would go well
with him so long as he did, and the reverse if ne
should happen to lose it. A whole book might he
written the superstitions of gamblers and the
many absurd things they do in the belief that it
will bring them good luck. But the gambler has
only in exaggerated form that which exists in all
of us.
Another why gambling is SO fascinating
is because it has the power to drive dull care and
ennui away. Many INDUCES in it at first to
get recreation after the monotony of his routine
work, and others do to forget their business
worries and domestic troubles The leisure class
find it an excellent weapon with which to kill time.
and the poorer classes take to 1t they do to liquor
because it transports them from the hard world in
which they live to regions of blissfu forgetfulneSs.
If it was not to become slave to it. much
might be said in favor of intellectual spree of
this sort.
Its Greatest Charm
FINALLY its greatest charm to many is that they
can thereby acquire wealth without working To
ones bread by the sweat of the brow is no dis
grace; but there not many who would not pre-
fer to it in easier ways. and anything that
holds forth opportunity to do this will necessarily
be powerfully fascinating. Money is power, and
despite all that moralists may say, there
few things in this world that men desire which
not be purchased with money. The great problem.
therefore, is how to get the most money in the short
est time. Many have successfully solved the prob
lem by gambling: others ask themselves. Why not
try the same method? Who knows what luck will
have?" And the goddess Fortuna registers another
name in her Gamblers Directory.
Such the motives and impulses that lead men
to gamble. How to remove these motives AMI
withstand these impulses other problems.

HARVEY IRRIGATION PROJECT.

Joseph Jacobs, consulting en-
qiueer OF the U. S. Reclamation
Service. and J.. /. Davis, an
assistant, are here investigating
the irrigation possibilities. Con-
siderable preliminary work was
done here by the government
several years ago W IL the Sill
vies valley resei Jir site was
withdrawn from entry and sur
yeys made Of the lands suscepti-
bic. but the project was finally
left and work begun upon other
irrigation schemes.
AIR. Jacobs gives out no en-
couraCer 6 for any definite ac-
ton by the government in the
immediate future, but says that
the Hemiston project is practi-
cally completed and the Klamath
irrigation scheme sufficiently ad-
vanced that the reclamation SER
vice is looking for other fields of
labor While no money of any
consequence is now available for
the undertaking of a project of
any great magnitude. the recla-
nation fund is accumulating
quite rapidly and soon there will
be sufficient funds to begin oper-
ations on some project.
Mr.. Jacobs states that he is
here simply to familiarize him
self with this section so as to be
in a position to make suggestions
at the proper time. He has visi-
ted the Silvies valley reservoir
site and pronounced it one of the
finest he has seen. Yesterday
he went out in the valley in COM
pany with Mr.. Davis and they
are expected back here today.
The gentlemans time is limited
at this time and he will have to
take his departure Monday for
Shaniko where he will meet
other Representatives, but he will
return here later for a more eX-
tended tour and examination of
this project.
The Tinies-EIerald views this
visit as portending some action
by the government in the near
future. although Mr.. Jacobs gave
out no information that would
lead 10 such q conclusion. The
time is ripe for such a move and
the service would find local peo-
pie more than ready TO do their
part toward the reclamation, or
rather irrigation Of this great
valley.

What n blessing il would be ia

What a blessing it would be to
have the government take up
the irrigation project here at
once, make a reservoir of Silvies
Valley and take over the land
now embraced in the Harney
Valley Improvement Co. Carey
Act segregation together with
other available government land.
This is a good season to talk
government irrigation as the sea-
son has been exceedingly dry
and those who have wanted to
hog all the water have found
they do not require one-half the
amount they have used in former
years. It has made them see
that our water supply is more
adequate than they thought and
that wchavc sufficient to irrigate
% vast body of thirsty land if
properly handled.

A most damnable attack upon

condemn such unreliable articles

acter that once grated people

pie as il is not likely there is any
thing back of the News if il is

Senator from Benton, if possible,
to have his bill indorsed by the
good roads conference and with
such an Endorsement it might not
be difficult thing to have it
passed by the Legislature next
January over the veto of the
Governor The author of the
bill took the floor to champion
the measure recommending that
it met every practical purpose of
the good roads advocates. In
his arguments, Senator Johnson
was zealously supported by ST
Senator's T. 3. Kay. of Marion,
and N. Whealdon, of Wasco,
who spoke earnestly in favor Of
the Johnson bill.
Senator Kay warmly approved
the measure for the reason that
.it assessed one-third of the cost
to the property that was benefit
ed by the Improvement He re-
garded this the most valuable
provision of the bill, insisting
that such improvements greatly
enhance realty values and for
that reason it was only just that
the owner of such property should
be assessed the cost of road con-
