! INt pdll lllE- lltAtotH H. A@s @NbeNiAAa7s ! To the Qualified Electors of the Tenn De Union High School District: ! Whereas there appeared an article
 printed in a recent edition of this paper purporting to show the advan- , tages of one location and the disad- vantages of the other location pro- posed for the site of the Tempe Un-
 ion high school, and as there were tstatements made in this article, both | incorrect. and misleading; it is the purpose of this article to show the same
 l. It is stated that the location proposed for the site of the Union high school in East Tempe, lies east of Goldman addition in a field fac ing what is known as the Nichols road Whereas, as every one knows that is familiar with this proposed site, as were the writers of the other article, that this site does not face the Nichols road, but faces the Tempe normal school grounds, also it begins with lots lying in Goldman addition proper which are exactly two blocks esq of the normal school grounds in direct line with the Girls hall on the normal campus.
 2. The article speaks of the extra expense of ridding the ground of it's growth; exactly what is meant by that is not known. as the two pieces of gror nd are exactly the sarne in re spect; both being in alfalfa at the present time.
 9. As to the expense of running city water to either site, the proposed site for the school in East Tempe has the advantage of the proposed on the Syndicate land. form the fact that though the distance from the city water mains to each is the same. the line of pipe necessary to cover the distance in East Tempe would run down a street builded up with resi- dences, while the pipes necessary to cover the same distance along Mill avenue would pass no buildings at all. and the town would receive no revenue whatever outside of the ren- tai from the school.
 4. The size of the grounds in the proposed East Tempe site is not 300 feet in width by 1400 feet in length. but has frontage facing the normal school of 400 feet by length of HOO feet
 ,. The statement was made also that there were no streets provided for in the site and that the necessary streets would have to come out of the purchased ground: Whereas, the fact is that never at any time since this site was proposed has there been any question as to the streets as it has been designated in the plot made of the ground and there is no extra cost for them.
 As the writers of the above men toned article seemed desirous of making it appear that the East Tenn pc location is at a great distance from the town, and the public thor oughfare, 1t is well to note that it is the quietness of the surroundings of a school that is conductive to it's best interests as is the normal school surrounded and. not as it would be on the proposed Syndicate site with all the noise of the traffic, and travel along Mill avenue.

CURED, BUT UNGRATEFUL.

Miss Frances Wynne, of this city,
is a shop girl, healthy and withal
beautiful. says a New York item. One
morning about a year ago she went to
the department store where she was
employed and was greeted with
sneers. grins and giggles on the part
of her companions. The reason for
these manifestations of levity was sup
piled by a sympathetic friend, in a
newspaper advertisement, illustrated
with a picture of the beauteous Miss
Wynne.
Reading the advertisement the fair
girl discovered to her horror that she
had been suffering with divers pains,
aches and maladies and that she had
been jerked from the jaws of jeop-
ardy and an untimely grave by the
medicine manufactured by a femin-
inc philanthropist of Lynn, Mass.
SO it came that Miss Wynne
appeared in the United States circuit
court, asking for $4,000 as a salve
for the mental anguish and mortifi-
cation she had endured.
She declared that she had never
suffered from the pains and aches de-
scribed in the testimonial, that she
had never taken the vegetable COM
pound of the feminine philanthropist
and that her picture had been OBJ
tanned by false pretenses. The jury
decided, after hearing all the ev-
dence, that $4,000 would cover the
damages.

THE DAY WAS DEAD.

The day was dead, and the flowers
swayed
In the bitterness OF grievlng;
And twilight came with her eyes of
shade
As the spirit fair was leaving.
The zephyrs crooned in a requiem
And the echoes low, replying,
Sang softly sweet, as is wont with
them,
In the music of their signing.
The night came slow, while the sob
bing sea
Swept on in its stately surges;
The undertone of lullaby
Rose up from its mellow dirges,
The night came down to the sleeping
day
That seemed of its noon-glow
dreaming
With starry candles in rich array
The tomb of the day was cleaning.
The day was dead-and the word
went forth
To the farthest silent spaces;
To the stars that stand west, south
and north
And forever have their places,
The word went forth and the word
went on
Till it lost its tone of sorrow
And it broke in light at the gates of
dawn
And awakened a tomorrow.

ANOTHER FOOL BILL.

Many fool bills are introduced in
congress in the course of a year, says
an unknown writer, but fortunately
only few of them ever get out of
the committees to which they are re-
ferred.
one of the most insane bills thus
far introduced in the present house is
that of Congressman Cowdrey, which
makes a publisher responsible for the
representations made by advertisers
in his periodical. The name of the
advertiser is published with every ad-
vertisement and he can be held re-
sponsible by the public.
To make it imperative for every
newspaper to go into the stores of its
advertisers and see that every article
is what the advertisement says it is
would mean the ruination of the pub
licity business of the country-Eu-
gene Guard.

PORTLAND.

The Oregonan, in burst of patri-
otism and home pride, which Is high
~ creditable and worthy of the paper,
gives a few center shots on the vital
progress of that city which are wor-
thy of being repeated throughout the
state. Here they are:
The North Bank road is building at
Portland the largest wheat ware
house in the United States. Meier &
Frank are beginning work on the ten
story annex to their department store,
and Olds. Workman & King are plan
ming one to cover an entire block.
Work on the largest packing house
plant west of Chicago is steadily pro-
crossing.
Another national bank has been
added to Portlands list of financial
institutions. The largest commercial
club in the united StdleS HdS HloNeu

building. The o. r. & N. has Issued
orders to rush work on the Wallowa
branch Of the road.
Wheat is selling very close to the
dollar mark and another record
breaking crop is rapidly getting into
a state Of absolute safety. Hood River
has just begun marketing a 1OO-car-
load crop Of strawberries, ETC., etc.
These are just few Of the reasons
why Portlanders smile even when
they read the baseball scores.

OLDEST COIN IN THE WORLD.

Pastor Lohmann, chairman of the
German society for scientific re-

WASTING OUR SUBSTANCE.

The Rural Spirit says of the waste
OF soil forces through the continuous
growing of wheat upon the land;
Where prices of farms should rise
by increase OF population, in many
places they are falling. Between
1850 and 1900 the land values of Ohio
shrank $6O,OOO,OOO. Official investi-
CATION of two counties in central New
York disclosed a condition of agri-
cultural decay
In one land was for sale for about
the cost of improvements and $50 va
cant houses were counted in a limited
area. In the other the population in
1906 was nearly 1000 less than in
1855. Practically identical soil con-
ditions exist in Maryland and Virginia,
where lands sell at from $40 to $50
an acre.
The richest region of the west is
no more exempt than New England OF
the south. The soil of the west is be-
ing reduced in agricultural potency
by exactly the same processes which
have driven the farmer of the east,
with all his advantages of nearness
| frO,,, fho fia1d
But the fact of soil waste becomes
startlingly evident when we examine
the record of some states where sim
gle cropping and other agricultural
abuses have been prevalent. Take the
case of wheat, the mainstay of single
crop abuse. Many of us can remem-
Der when New York was the grea'
wheat producing state of the Union.
The average yield of wheat an acre
in New York for the last 10 years wa;
about IS bushels For the first five
years of that 1O-year period it wa;
1S1-4 bushels, and for the last five
IA bushels.
In the farther west Kansas takes
high rank as a wheat producer. 1t;
average yield for the last 10 years
was 1416 bushels. For the first five
Of those years it was 1914 and for the
last five 1918.
Up in the northwest Minnesota
wheat has made name all over the
J world. Her average yield an acre fol
the same 10 years was 1896 bushels
For the first five years it was 1915
and for the last five 1878.
We precelve here the working oi
uniform law, Independent of loca'
ton, soil or climate. 1t is the law OF
diminishing return due to soil de-
struction. Apply this to the country
at large and it reduces agriculture tc
the condition of a bank whose deposit
ors are steadily drawing out more
money than they put in.
When the most fertile land in th'
world produces so much less thai
that of poorer quality elsewhere, anC
this low yield shows a tendency t.
steady decline, the situation become
clear. We are robbing the soil in al
effort TO get the largest cash return
from each acre of ground in tn,
shortest possible time and with th'
least possible labor.

BEGINNING OF THE PROJECT.

1t is often difficult to follow a river
TO its actual fountain head, among all
the rivulets which join to make its
rushing volume. 1t is difficult to de-
eide which one of the single rills'
having its source among the ferns of
a remote and Isolated mountain can
yon, may be properly designated as
the very head Of the stream.
The East Oregonian has tried to fol-
low up the Umatilla irrigation pro-
ject to its source and learn, If possi-
bic, who spoke the word, who gave
out the thought which gave BIRTH
It is difficult task but some progress
has ben made.
One day, shortly after the reclama-
ton law became effective in June,
1902. Judge S. A. Lowell and the late
Judge t. G. HALEY, while law part
ners in this city, were talking of the
vast idle sagebrush plains of eastern
Oregon and wondered IT, under the
new law, it would not be possible for
the government to bring water from
Snake river, across Baker and Union
counties or from some other source
to reclaim the land in Umatilla and
Morrow counties.
Turning to the stenographer' Judge
Lowell dictated a letter to Malcolm
A. Moody, then congressman from this
. district. asking him to request the
reclamation department under the
new law, to investigate the project of
bringing water from the Snake to
Umatilla and Morrow counties.
SO far as Is known now, that was
the very beginning of the Umatilla
Irrigation project Others had dis
cussed irrigation here, to be sure and
for years the problem of reclaiming
the idle lands Of the county had been
a favorite theme with many progress
sive and thoughtful citizens.
But this is believed to be the word
which brought this project into life.
Congressman Moody replied to the
letter favorably and requested an in
vestigation of the proposed project
and as a result Engineer Camp came
to Echo in 1903 and made prelimi-
nary survey Of the buttes south OF
that place, but failed to find res
ervolr site.
The Snake river idea had been
given up as not feasible.
Engineer Camp and a crew Of men
worked for several months without
results in the country south and west
Of Echo, and finally John T. Whistler
came and continued vigorous search
for a reservoir site south Of Echo, the
idea being to take water out on the
south side Of the Umatilla river at
Barnhart and carry it through canal
to a reservoir near the buttes south
of Echo.
Giving up the task Of finding a
suitable site on the south side of the
River, Mr.. Whistler finally turned to
the north side, had several score pros
pect holes sunk, made surveys, esti-
mates and examinations Of every
possible feature Of that section and
finally located the present Cold
Springs dam site.
His final estimates were made and
sent to the consulting engineers, the
project was recommended and 81, ,000,-
900 was set aside for its construction.
Bids were advertised for, plans were
set on foot for its completion and on
Wednesday. May 27, 1908, the gates
were formally opened and the pro-
ject delivered to the people.
