Then the surface OF the ocean, like

can see porpoises swimming along the

\ PROSPEROUS TRIBE.

The East Oregonian takes pleasure
in calling the attention Of Commission
eg Francis E. Leupp, Of the Indian
department. to the excellent financial,
moral and mental condition Of the
Umatilla tribe Of Indians.
This tribe has a greater proportion
Of educated and enlightened Christian
Indians than any other in the north
west, unless 1t be their cousins, the
Nez Perce. A large proportion Of the
tribe conducts their own affairs, buy,
sell, trade and traffic with the whites
and are highly capable Of caring for
themselves and becoming citizens.
The tribe Is in better condition now
than ever before. Old contentious
have been wiped out, old animosities
destroyed old factional fights forgot
ten and the reservation is peaceable
and progressive and is a credit to the
state and to the nation and to the In
dian department.
For the past few years, after the
departure Of Major Charles E. wilkins
and before the coming Of Major Nc
Partridge, as agent of the Umatilla res
ervation, matters were in chaos there.
A number Of agents and special
agents gave up the fight in disgust
and the entire tribe was in an up
roar 1t was the worst period on the
reservation since its organization 40
years ago.
But Major McFatridge has cleared
up conditions admirably. He has sue
ceeded in enforcing the rules of the
department with the least amount Of
friction. There are but one or two
miserably small fights being made
against him and the great mass Of
the people Of Pendleton and Umatilla
county are with him.
1t seems that it will be to the vital
interest Of the tribe to keep Major
McFatridge in charge Of affairs there
as long as he will possibly stay. The
salary should be raised and it should
be made a position which will attract
and hold a man OF ability, vigor and
honesty such as Major McFatridge
has proven 10 be.

for some time. employed by that gov
ernment to investigate the possibili-
ties OF irrigation.
The reclamation OF 100000 acres
between the mountains and the sea
has been pronounced feasible. The
rivers are not large, and the projects
in Peru would not compare for size
with some OF the great irrigation
schemes in the United states But the
marvellous fertility Of the land in the
South American republic. and its fine
climate, assures success in the highest
degree.
The arid lands OF the URited States
with five or six inches Of rain a year
might be considered well watered II
compared with some OF Perus dry
wastes which are TO be reclaimed.
The showers that visited them are few
and far between-once in from 10 to
IA years
But when water is put on such land
its fertility is phenomenal The soil
has lain inert for centuries without
any run-off TO leach out the fertility
stored from time immemorial. This
has been found true in our own west.
The drlest region often has the strong
ost soil. once It IS brought under irri-
CATION and its salts dissolved and made
available for plants.
Peru's rivers. which are to be utiliz-
ed. flow down from snowy mountains
and cross the arid country just as
many Of the rivers Of our own arid
regions do. To that extent, the west
ern part Of the United States and the
western portion Of Peru have many
features in common and the engineer
ing experts who have gone down there
from this country can make good use
Of the experience and technical
knowledge gained at home.

OPEN THE RIVERS.

The first report Of the Inland
Waterways commission appointed by
President Roosevelt last spring, shows
that there are now in the United
States $4,000 miles Of navlgated rivers
and an equal distance that may be
made navigable by proper action OF
congress.
Forty-two states, including Oregon,
Washington, and Idaho, boast of nav
igable streams, and the commission
finds that practically every one OF
these ~ states and territories have
non-navigable rivers, the use Of which
would be a direct benefit to the peo-
pie at large.
oregon is fortunate in having a
representative in Congressman Ellis
on the rivers and harbors commlttes

DISCOURTESY TO WIVES.

A well-known Spokane man met
two women, stopped and conversed
with them. AS he did so he raised
his hat in salutatlon and removed his
cigar When he left them his hat was
again raised. In this he did as every
well-bred gentleman would do.
Soon afterward he met his wife on
the street and stopped to talk with
her. but there was no motion OF hand
to hat either at meeting or parting
Everybody knows that the incident
is by no means unusual. Yet Is there
any reason why the wife should not
receive the same courteous recogni-
tion as the mere acquaintance?
When a girl takes upon herself the
marriage VOWS at the altar is it right
that she should thereby give up all
claim to the little courtesies OF life

HOW LONG DO DREAMS LAST?

How long do dreams last? A Ger
man savant is investigating the mat
ter. A writer in the London Chronl-
Gle says: "The dream comes in the
few seconds before the awakening.
and has no relation to time or space.
This is clear enough to the man who
has ever been placed under an anaes-
thetlc for a short while and found
time and space eliminated.
AS an experiment this writer was
placed under a whiff of chloroform by
a doctor. Absolute unconsclousness
supervened. Then a return OF con-
sciousness, the question OF the uni

ness. with always the feeling. Now l
have solved it''-and the mo" and the
yes" alternating through centuries Of
thought. And then the quizzical face
OF the doctor-remembered after a
million years. ." How long have
been UNDER? The experlmenter
struggled up. and saw the doctor with
his watch in hand. Ten seconds the
doctor said And the dreamer had
been outside time for a time that has
no measure"

IRRIGATION IN PERU.

This governments active interest in
reclaiming arid land in the west by
irrigation Is not a solitary or excep-
tional movement in the world OF to-
day. Irrigation is as old as civiliza-
ton, but just now It is receiving more
attention than ever before, and many
gigantic problems are being worked
out by the foremost engineers.
Peru is one Of the latest to turn Its
attention to developing waste land by
bringing water upon 1t from rivers
which have always gone idle to the
sea. It is true that irrigation in Peru
has been carried on since before the
days of Atahualpa, 400 years ago, bat
not on a scale to be compared with
what Is now contemplated.
A report to this government by
Charles NJ. Pepper, special agent at
Lima, says experts from the United
States geological survey and from the
reclamation service have been in Peru

OLD QUESTION OF TAXATION.

The failure Of the state OF oregon
to collect S22, 900 state taxes due from
Yamhiu county. and the decision of
Judge Galloway Of that county that
the state tax law is unconstitutional,
opens up once more that world-old
question OF taxation with which Ore
gon has struggled since she was or
ganized as a territory.
In the first place It seems that It is
impossible to secure an equal and uni
form rate Of assessment in a state
as widely diversified as oregon. What
would be right and just in the valley
counties where railroads and market
ing conveniences are plentiful would
not be right and just for sparsely set
tied and Isolated eastern oregon
counties and so the legislature, human
as it is, is unable to make a law
which will be just and equitable for
all parts Of the great commonwealth
alike, It seems
II seems that the present table Of
proportions, under which the state
tax is apportioned from the different
counties. based on a five year assess
ment. is about as near right as it Is
possible to secure But Judge CAL
loway says this method Is unconstltu-
u7naL.
II the state tax is based on county
expenses, the sparsely settled coun-
ties having long distances with little
population, heavy court expenses and
much county road to keep up would
be taxed out Of proportion to the
property within their borders.
And on the other hand, the small,
compact counties having dense popu-
lations, short distances, small amount
OF roads to keep up, and compara-
lively small court expenses, would pay
an amount less than they should pay,
In accordance with their property
values
SO the law which would suit one
section, which would be just and equi-
table for one section would not be for
the other section and this question is
really one Of the big problems before
the people Of Oregon.
With 80 counties and each with
different schedule Of values and each
with different environment and diff
ferent needs, the state Of Oregon is in
chaos as 10 tax laws.
It seems that the final solution OF
the state tax question is for the state
to have a method OF levying taxes
wholly Independent and outside OF
county valuations or assessment. The
state should have a way Of levylng,
high and above the chaotic county
method.

It is worth $23,4OO, the amount
which Pendleton saloons would have
contributed to the city during the next
year in licenses, to know that for six
days there has not been a drunken
man on the streets of the city and not
a solitary drunken inmate in the city
jail. This is an advertisement that
should attract lot of those people
who have said they were looking for
a dry town in which to buy home
and educate their children. Pendle-

DEMOCRATIC HISTORY.

Seventy-six years ago the first DEM
ocratic national convention met in
Baltimore. The democratic party was
old, even then, but conventions were
new.
The most remarkable feature Of the
democratic party, historically consld-
cred, is its vitality.
1t came into a definite and separ-
ate existence during the second WASH
lngton administration and placed its
first candidate for president in the
field in 1895.
Four years later it was successful
in the election and entered upon a
lease Of power that was all but un-
broken for so years. 1t buried the
federalist party, witnessed the death
Of the wings, smothered a half dozen
smaller opposition parties and was
supreme until 1860.
Dividing within itself in that year.
the party permitted the success Of the
then four-year-old republican party.
The civil war followed, and for 4S
years the republicans have had prac-
tically unbroken control OF the gov-
eminent.

THE UNHEARD ANSWER.

"Oh, thou art hard" Youth cried, be-
seeching Life.
why dost thou force on me the
yoke Of pain.
And bow my shoulders, proud and
strong, today
Beneath the weight OF age? Oh,
would fain
with leaf-crowned head and laugh
ing mouth live on.
And praise you with my songs; with
happy eyes
Gaze on the vlstas where my dancing
feet
Will take me But you make me
overwise,
with knowledge, sadden, and with
tears bedim
My outlook till the world seems but
a waste.
Why hast thou made me fair and
strong and glad,
Only to wreck thy handiwork? ?
Make haste! Make haste!"
But Life. with eyes inserutable and
calm,
And quiet lips, deigned not the least
reply.
Youth, whom she loved, embittered,
ceased his plant.
And hurried past the serried years,
to die.
The lone, gaunt woman smote her
milklcss breasts,
And clenched her hands. Her moan
resounded far.
THE Youth I love may not nurse"
she cried
Il may not show him where the
right paths are.
II may not guide his steps nor ease
his care.
Nor raise him IL he falls, although
yearn
To be his aid. I his own mother. may
not even speak,
For only through my silence will
he learn"
