RAINFALL CAUSES GATUN
DAM TO SETTLE AT CREST.

Colon, Panama.-Owing to the ex-
ceptionally heavy rainfall of the last
three weeks the earth on the crest of
the Gatun dam has settled in certain
places.
The Gatun dam, which is to hold in
check the waters of the Chargers
river, was, in the beginning, so feet
wide; It has now been extended to a
length of 900 feet. In view Of the
existing conditions, the settlement OF
the dam was expected. The reason is
the heavy weight Of the embankment.
There Is nothing to do to prevent this
falling in, and 1t will have to con-
tinue.
One portion of the Gatun dam sank
about go feet, permitting the Charges
river, which was damned at this
point, to overflow the railroad track.
On Sunday morning one train on this
track passed through about 16 inches
of water.
The official record Of the rainfall
at Colon this month Is 2S inches, the
highest record for the same period In
many years.

What Distressed Him.

An Elderly bishop, a bachelor, who
was very fastidious about his toilet,
was especially fond Of his bath and
requested particular care of his tub
by the maid,
When about to leave town one day
he gave strict orders to the housemaid
about his "bawthtub" and said that
no one was to be allowed to use it.
Alasl the temptation grew on the
girl and she took a plunge.
The bishop returned unexpectedly,
and finding traces OF the recent stol-
en- bath, questioned the maid so close
ly that she had to confess she was the
culprit, and was very sorry
81 hope you do not think It sin,
bishop" asked Mary in tears.
Eying her sternly, he said: Mary,
your using my tub is not a sin, but
what dstresses me most is that you
would do anything behind my back
that you would not do before my
face"

A full week devoted to local
teachers institutes and parents meet
ings, to be held in various districts
in Umatilla county, and in which he
will be assisted by State Superintend-
ent ]. II. Ackerman, Is planned by
County superintendent f. X. Welles
for the middle of December.
Mr.. Welles has secured the cooper
alton of the state superintendent, and
the meetings will be devoted to a dis
cussion of the methods of teaching,
and to promote a better understand
ing between the parents, the teachers
and the school directors in each dis
trict.
They will be purely local institutes
and the local teachers, as well as the
teachers from nearby districts will
be expected to attend, AS similar
meetings have been held in many of
the larger districts. the ones now
planned will be held in six OF the
smaller districts in the county five
of which have already been selected,
The first of the local institutes will
be held Saturday evening, December
10. at Echo. In the week that follows
Superintendent Welles and Mr.. Acker-
man will visit Pilot Rock and hold
a meeting, and in the east end of the
county will visit Ferndals, Fruitvale
and Vincent districts. One more meet
ing will be held, but the location is
not yet determined.
Mr.. Welles has found it impossible
to give more than one meeting to the
west end at this time and the Echo
meeting will be attended by the teach
ers of Hermston and Umatilla, to-
gether with the directors and such
parents and patrons from those places
who will attend.
Superintendent Welles desires to
make 1t plain that the meetings are
not for teachers only and issues a
cordial invitation to the parents and
other school patrons to make 1t a
point to attend the meetings,

WOMEN IN JOURNALISM.
One of Them Sees Her Opportunity
TO Save the Nation.


A woman can enter on journalism
more easily than on any other intel
lectual work. She needs not a college
degree A moderate education suf-
fices for beginning II she has as its
fruit readiness In making a plain
statement of fact, common sense. in
sight, adaptabillty and the saving
grace of humor.
Not only can she do some newspa-
per work as well as a man, but she
has created lines of work in which she
can have no masculine competitors.
Still more, the occupation by which
she lives enables her often to be a
powerful factor in the social uplift.
But to this good end she must respect
herself and her calling.
We are on the eve of perhaps the
most thrilling epoch of our country's
history, for now true liberty Is men,
aced by llberty's worst foe-llcense.
The anarchist has attacked the Of
flcer of the law on his hearthstone
and has murdered the spokesman OF
religion at his altar. All the evil
things which resent law and order
are coming to the light ready to turn
our whole land into a huge Paris Of
'93.
Believe me, the space heretofore
accorded in too many papers to the
pleasures and scandals OF multimll-
llonairdom will soon be strictly limit
ed in the interest OF matters Of more
urgent import.
And here the conservatism of wo-
men in private life and as exponents
on the press OF all life will be potent
In conserving the home and the ma
tion.-Katherine f.. Conway.

HAS FAITH IN
THIS COUNTY
DEPUTY RECORDER LEWIS
PRAISES LOCAL INVESTMENTS
People Can Find No Better Field for
Money Making Than in West End
Property-Believes Values in "Light
Land Section Will Go Upward-All
Local Property Good, Unless 1t BE
Cemetery Lots.

That Umatilla county offers a
splendid field for Investments field
so good that it is hard to find a bet
ter-is the belief of R. T. Lewis, dep
uty county recorder and son-in-law
of Recorder F. w. Hendley.
And Mr. Lewis is in a position to
know something of the merits of in
vestments in this county. Though not
a multi-mlllionaire, he has some good
pieces of property in various parts OF
the county. During the past few years
he has done much specializing in this
county, especially in the west end, and
he has made money in every instance.
There are some fine opportunities
for money making in this county,"
said Mr.. Lewis yesterday in discussing
his own experience as a real estate
holder. 81 am sorry that l haven't
more money to invest. l would not
look any farther than the west end Of
this county. Upon the purchases |
have made in the past year or two I
have been doubling my money. That
ought to be profit enough for any
one.
There is going to be lots of mon
ey made in the west end during the
next few years. People who go in
there now, buy property and keep it
until the project is settled are going
to get two or three dollars for every
one they invest"
Light Land Good.
And there are good investments to
be made in wheat land in this county.
People who want to buy cheap land
should go into the northwestern part
of the county, near the section that is
to be irrigated"
when the land under the Umatil-
la project is settled and watered l am
| confident that the land in the Eight
land section northwest of here Is go
| ing to go up in value. The cultiva-
| ton and watering of the land under
the project Is going to bring more
rainfall to the adjoining land. Then
the fact that this wheat land will be
close to the big irrigated tract will
cause the wheat land to go up in
price. believe that the wheat land
northwest of here offers better field
for investment than does raw wheat
land in Canada in view Of the prices
asked for land in the respective sec
tions."
According to Mr.. Lewis a man Is
safe in buying nearly any class Of
realty in this county. He Is conf
dent that the next few years will show
an advance in the price Of almost all
kinds Of property with the possible
exception Of cemetery lots.

any of the conditions of
country life. The commission desires
that a brief statement of the general
