hum of a waking city is family heard the shad
fishermen row their boats with creakng oarlocks
to line Of poles picketirg the centre of the
Hudson and draw up nets that sag and shake
with quivering fish The men brunZed and
strong and little sleepy eyed because Of the mid
night task of setting these nets at the ebb tide
but they work with a briskness that is stimu-

high prices that prevail on account Of scarcity

river. and the fisherman who cannot work day
and night for such a period had better take an

BIG WATER FLOW IN
THE MORENO VALLEY
IRRIGATION MAY GIVE RICH
FUTURE TO REGION
Pioneers Tap Strata Which May Be
Underground Channel Supplying
the Perris Valley with
Water

DR.. H. A.. Atwood, who, with D. E.
Myers has succeeded in developing a
fine flow of well water in the Moreno
valley, is very enthusiastic over the
futures promise for that section.
The 12-inch well they have put down
taps fine looking strata of water
gravel to depth of $50 feet, and At
wood believes they have tapped the
main underground water channel
which supplies the Perris valley.
While their well is about 125 feet shall
lower than the Hendricks wells, and
their flow is not so great, still they be-
lleve that the flow they have struck
is q good and permanent one and that
the reduced cost in pumping, which,
of course is in proportion to the
depth of the well, makes their propo-
sition an excellent one.
They have flow of little better
than forty inches, with fifty inches
possible, and the operation of their
Pomona pump, using crude oil, makes
the cost Of the water just about 10
cents an inch. 1t doesn't cost them
any more to irrigate an acre of land
with their pump, Atwood says, than 1t
costs to irrigate an acre In Riverside
under the Riverside Water company.
Ine flow of water being developed at
present. will irrigate about 200 acres, and
it is proposed to sink other wells in the
same vicinity and utilize the larger
flow developed to about 800 acres
which is already piped and ready for
the water.
Under the we'll now IN operation,
DR.. Atwood and Myers have about 125
acres between them, which they pro-
pose to get out to oranges just as soon
as possible. Myers already has four
teen acres out, and both gentlemen are
planning on more planting at once.
'There are 900 acres Of the finest
orange land in the world In this part
of the Moreno valley" says Atwood,
"and I have every confidence that 1t
can be brought under successful and
highly profitable cultivation with
pumped water. In addition to this ex-
cellent orange land there are almost
10000 acres of good farming and fruit
land, and 10000 acres of the valley are
already piped with the laterals of the
old pipe line system which was put in
years ago, and which need only to be
connected to be brought to profitable
use."

THE PARTY SENTIMENT.

There are those who honestly
and sincerely believe the political
parties are necessary to good
government. They believe that
divisions among the people on
imaginary lines are absolutely
necessary to preserve the integ-
rity of the government and to
keep the wheels moving.
The East 0regonian just as
honestly believes that the party
spirit, the spirit of rivalry which
necessarily leads to the spirit of
revenge, is absolutely wrong in
government and that better gov
ernment can be enjoyed without
strong party alignment.
The essence OF the party spirit
is centered in the personal ambi-
tions of party leaders. Men for
mulate party platforms in the
hope that it will bring them and
their co-workes a following
which will carry them into Office.
Bitterness is engendered in the
party conflicts. corruption follows
party victory. no matter which
party wins, and the wheels of
government are absolutely block
ed while the party is dividing
the spoils and paying party debts.
If the people were encouraged
to think for themselves regard
less of party leaders and party
platforms. if they were encour-
aged to study the problems of
government and make legisla-
ton a matter of personal interest
instead of delegating all the pow
er and thought to leaders, gov
ernment could be conducted upon
higher lines that it is where par
tisan bitterness enters into every
law enacted and where each par
ty victory means an undoing of
everything done by the other
party.
Oregon is doing much to elm
mate partisan bitterness and
conflict. She is going ahead on
broad lines in which the indivi-
dual voter is an active unit in
the government. Better laws
will follow this plan; industries
will be developed. the state will
enjoy a freedom from the thral-
dom of partisan prejudice and q
model government founded upon
justice and wisdom and state
pride will surely follow this pro-
gressive tendency. East Ore

Open CEMENT MINES.

Development work mas been
started on the cement mines
near Cliffs. says an item from
the north bank. A force Of
men with powder, picks and
shoyels teams and other equip

large holes viii be dug and num-
erous bitches plowed and other
excavations made 10 reach the
cement formation At this time
the developments indicate that
the cement deposits cover a large
area, and that il is in the form
of a blanket ledge about eight
feet thick. and from outcrop-
pings at the surface 10 u feet
under the soil. Dynamite has 10
be used in removing the cement
that lies near the surface, but
where il is deep under the soil it
is easily removed with pick and
shovel.
IL is reported that the company
having the option on the lands
under which the principal depOs-
its are found is from Seattle, but
this is not confirmed by the
workmen now on the ground, as
they claim il is Portland capital,
but refuse TO say vino the princi-
pals are. Since it has become
known that the particular for
nation has been carefully analyz-
ed and thoroughly tested, great
hopes are entertained that the
discovery will prove a valuable
addition 10 the resources in and
around Cliffs.
Some of the old settlers of the
Columbia river valley have known
of this cement formation for
more than 20 years. but did not
understand its value, although
they remember that some of it
was dug out, treated, and then
hauled TO Goldendale, a distance
Of about 25 miles, and there used
in the first large brick building
erected in that town, which is
still standing in perfect condition.
