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

From the Washington State College. Pullman
A farmer writes from Seguin ask.
ing for varieties of apples to plant il
that locality. He was supplied witt
information as follows:
For winter apples, try the Bald.
win, Spy, Northwest Greeniug, Elg-
lish Russell, WAGNER and Grimes
Golden. If you desire a few early
apples, plant Yellow Transparent,
Duchess, Gravenstein and King. The
former apples are the commercial ap-
plies of western Washington. The
experiment station has some kuowl-
edge of both the Delicious ard the
King David apples. They are COM
paratively new, and might succeed re-
markedly we'll with you, yet your
planting them would be more Or less
of an experiment.
"The question of peaches in your
locality is an undecided one. a few
growers report success with the Alex
ander, and this is practically the only
variety hat 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"

the finding of feasible projects. This
involves not only the feasibility of con-
structisg the plant, but, also, the pos
sibility 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 rightful share
of this fund is not expended within
her borders.
State Control.
The conference of governors now in
session at Washington, ID. 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 a state problem and we
alone must be responsible for the use
or abuse of this necessity of life. ANY
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 ereditable water laws. We
are now persistently disregarding the
warning of our worthy governor, who
has well said that "the great uncer-
tainty ms 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 hat Oregon at an
early date place upon her statute books
a 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
as titles to land. Oregon s 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-
5ary, and if persisted in will greatly
retard the settlement of lands already
reclaimed, and discourage further de-
gelopment of our great water re.

Product of Three Great Minds.

Although 1t was Abraham Lincoln
in his Gettysburg speech who made
famous the phrase, government Of the
people, by the people, for the people,"
the father of the sentiment was really
Daniel Webster, who, 80 years pre-
yiously, had spoken OF "the peoples
government, made for the people, made
by the people, and auswerable to the
people," The next stage In the crys-
utilization Of the phrase was in 1850,
when another great American, Theo-
dore Parker, alluded to "a government
OF all the people, by all the people, for
all the people" Then in 1868 Lincoln
put the finishing touch and gave
democracy its watchword.

Slate and government Reclamation.

Oregon has 100000 acres of govern
ment land withdrawn from entry,
pending reclamation by the state under
the provisions of the Carey act. This
area is equal to the combined area of
all irrigated land at the present time,
or nearly twice the combined area of
the klamath and Umatilla irrigation
projects of the government.
During the first six months of 1907
the state land board authorized the
sale of water rights to these desert
lands, amounting to s. 1862, ZOO. The
board put Off this action until after
the adjournment of the legislature,
hoping that the legislation which they
had recommended for the protection of
settlers might be enacted. The state
is now in the deplorable position of
authorizing the sale of a commodity
which it owns, but over which il has
no control, 1t is attempting to super
wise the expenditure of millions of dol
lars in the interest of future settlers,
without appropriating n single cent
for administrative purposes.
Already the state has begun suit
against one of these companies because
Of the sale of some 800. 900 worth of
water rights to intending settlers
where there is NJ water TO supply, and
the false economy practiced may ulti-
mately result in a demand upon the
legislature by these settlers that their
loss be reimbursed. In this matter of
reclamation by the state, or in any
public or private reclamation. we are
to build a great structure of
prosperity without adequate foundation
in law to support the structure.
Oregon has contributed more to the
reclamation fund of the United States
government than any other state, and
the return Of this money depends upon

Inter- ment was in St James's cemetery in Watertown.
 The remains of Bartholomew Cau- ley, who was killed yesterday by the cars in Greystone were removed to the home of his brother, Michael Cauley, South street, Bristol, to-day in charge of Undertaken Mulville. The deceased was born in Rhodes town, Bunninadden, County Sligo. Ireland. He was about 4 , years of age and came to this country twenty one years ago and located in Bristol. He was employed at the plant of the lngraham Clock Co for ten years and spent seven or eight years between the Sessions Foundry Co and Sessions Clock Co. The rest of the time was divided between New Britain and Waterbury. He was boarding at the residence of Mrs Woods, S3 East Main street, and went to work on the railroad yesterday apparently in the best of health and spirits. His death was purely accidental. He stepped out of the way, or tried to, in order to let the train go by, but fail ed to get clear of the track and was cut to pieces. His brother, Michael Cauley, a very respectable appearing man, came to Waterbury and had the remains sent to his home from where the funeral will take place to St Jo- seph's church tomorrow morning The family consisted of two boys who were deprived of their parents when they were children, but they man aged to get along and kept as near each other as possible, and the sepa- ration coming so unexpectedly and in such tragiCal manner, is rude shock to the surviving one.

Divinu For Fish.

An Arab pilot on board an English ship becalmed in the Persian gulf had been amusing himself in diving for oysters. After several attempts his search proved unsuccessful
 T will now" said he to the officers of the vessel he was commissioned to convoy, since cannot gather oysters, dive for and catch fish"
 All ridiculed the idea. He went down again, and the officers were astonished to see him after short time rise to the surface with a small rockfish in each hand. The Arabs own explana. tion of the feat was that as he seated himself at the bottom the fish came around him and nibbled at his skin. Watching an opportunity, he seized and secured his prey by thrusting his thumb and forefnger into their ex- banded gflls.
