"Not long since, while visiting in
Cuba, | had the pleasure Of renewing
an old friendship with the former pres
ident of the island, Cen Il. Estrada
Palma. said S. A. Sewer.
"Gen. Palma is living quiet, Sc
cluded life on his unpretentious coun-
try estate at Bayamo. He takes no
interest in politics, but devotes himself
to the simple affairs of rural life. His
chief pleasure Is in teaching little
band Of his neighbors' children to read
and write, and he devotes two or three
hours a day to that task, while at night
he gives instruction to class COM
posed of his farm laborers. He was
a school teacher for great part OF
his life and in his latter days finds
satisfaction In his old profession."--

the finding Of feasible projects. This
involves not only the feasibility of con-
struetlng the plant, but, also, the pos
siDility of securing good title in ad-
vance to the necessary water supply.
If clear title to sufficient water cannot
be assured in advance, ON account of
our poor laws, then we should not com
plain because Oregon's s rightful share
OF this fund is not expended within
her borders
State Control.
The conference of governors now in
session at Washington, D. c., to devise
some plan for the conservation of our
great natural resources will doubtless
have but little to say with respect to
the conservation of water on the non
navigable streams of the states. This
is entirely state problem and we
alone must be responsible for the use
or abuse of this necessity of life. Anv
new policy devised by this conference
for government control of navigable or
interstate streams can affect Oregon
but little.
The conservation of this great nat
ural resource in the interest of poster
ity cannot only be accomplished with
out sacrifice or cost to the present
generation, but to its great benefit and
profit, if we only will
We resented bitterly the offer of
President Roosevelt, through his recla-
nation department, to assist us in the
framing of creTitabe water laws. We
are now persistently disregarding the
warning of our worthy governor, who
has well said that "the great urcer-
tainty rs to titles to water, the wide
difference of opinion among the ablest
water lawyers as TO what the water
law of this state really is, and the vast
amount of capital that is already in
vested in this state in works depending
upon the use OF water, make it abso-
lutely necessary that Oregon at an
early date place upon her statute books
complete, concise and definite code of
law governing the use and distribu-
ton of water, patterned after the mod
ern laws of Wyoming, Idaho and Can
ada, where titles to water are as Sc
cure as titles to land. Oregon 8 sin, not
so much of commission as of omission,
in this matter, is becoming notorious
among the states of the west, where the
diversion and use of water is neces-
sary, and if persisted in will greatly
retard the settlement OF lands already
reclaimed, and discourage further de-
velopment of our great water re-
sonrces.'

QUERIES BY FARMERS.
Experiment Station Called Upon for
Advice on Various Subjects.
From the Washington State College. ?


A farmer writes from Seguin ask
ing for varieties of apples to plant in
that locality. He was supplied with
information as follows:
For winter apples, try the Bald
win, Spy, Northwest Grooming, Eng
lish Russell, Wagener and Grimes
Golden. If you desire a few early
apples, plant Yellow Transparent,
Duchess. Gravenstein and King. The
former apples are the commercial ap-
pies of western Washington The
experiment station has some knowl-
edge of both the Delicious ard the
King David apples. They are com-
paratively new and might succeed re.
markably well with you, yet your
planting them would be more Or less
of an experiment.
"The question of peaches in youi
locality is an undecided one. A few
growers report success with the Alex
ander, and this is practically the only
variety that has been reported as Sue
cessful from your section You will
have practically no trouble in grow
ing grapes, since some of the best
grapes we have are grown over
there"

Deafness-Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion OF the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitn-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in.
famed condition of the mucous lining OF the
Eustacnian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
ing, aud when it is entirely closed, Deafness Is
the resu t, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but,an infamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces. w
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can.
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

The story is told Of a clergyman.
who, after he had finished his sermon,
heard one of his congregation say,
"Yes, it was good sermon; but he
stole It."
A short time afterward the preach.
er called on the man, resented the ac-
cusation, and asked him to retract
what he had said
II am not" answered the man, 'like-
ly to take back anything that l have
said; but in this case will, for on re-
turning home and referring to the
book whence l thought you had taken
your sermon, found that it was still

government made for the people, made

all the people," Then in 1868 Lincoln
put the finishing touch and gave
democracy Its watchword.
