AN IRRIGATION COUNTY.

That n!ne-tenths of those who are
now coming westward under the ear
ly colonist rates are looking for irri-
gated land was declared today by one
of the homeseekers who stopped off
in Pendleton.
Throughout the middle states
much literature telling of the west
ern irrigation projects has been dis
tributed during the past year. The
booklets that have gone eastward
from scores Of counties in the north
west have told tales of fabulous
wealth to be made through the rec
lamation Of desert tracts The story
has set the people of the middle states
"afire" and they are now coming
westward to settle under the various
private and governmental projects.
From this flood of homeseekers
Umatilla county should be able to OBJ
tain its share. In the west end of this
county there will be room for hun
dred thousand people when the va
rious projects are fully developed. In
other portions of the county there is
room for many times the present
population. If newcomers wish to
settle in a region that is already well
under cultivation the Milton-Freewa-
ter country offers splendid attractions.
II irrigated land is what they want
Umatilla county has it in abundance.
This county has land that has already
been watered and is now producing
bountiful crops; land that has just
been brought under bitches and also
many thousands Of acres that are yet
to be reclaimed. To the world Una
tilla county Is known as a wheat rails
ing empire. But it is also an irrlga-
tion county.

AS DESIRED.

Recent stories from Washington
state that the recent anti-Japanese
agitation in California and other
states Of the west has been beneficial
10 the coast At least it IS claimed
the agitation will help greatly in pre-
venting a further influx Of japanese
into America. Furthermore, it had
the effect Of causing the government
to spend more money upon Pacific
coast defenses and to consider the
matter Of keeping a portion Of the
battleship fleet in the Pacific.
This is exactly what westerners
wanted. They did not want to pre-
clpitate any trouble between the Uni
ted States and Japan. But they did
want 10 let the administration and
the eastern part Of the United staes
know the feeling that exists out here
with reference to the japanese.
Among fasteners there was plainly
a misconception Of the seriousness Of
the situation Even President Roose-
welt failed TO appreciate the true con-
dition Of affairs.
Now the country knows that the
people Of the west want the Japan

MY CREED.

This is my creed To do some good
To bear my ills without complain
ing,
To press on as a brave man should
For honors that are worth the
gaining;
To seek no profits where l may
By winning them bring grie, to
others.
To do some service day by day
In helping on my toiling brothers.
This is my creed: To close my eyes
To little faults of those around me-;
To strive to be when each day dies
Some better than the morning
found me;
To ask for no unearned applause.
To cross no river till I reach it;
To always have a worthy cause,
To fearlessly and fairly preach it.
This is my creed; To wisely shun
The sloughs in which the foolish
WallOW,
To lead where l may be the one
Whom weaker men should choose
to follow;
To keep my standards always high,
To find my task and bravely do it,;
This is my creed-I wish that I
Could even live half way up to it.

THE EX-PRESIDENT

It is an inspiring spectacle when a
president Of the United States retires
from office as did ex-Presldent Roos-
evelt the other day Without pomp
or ceremony Of any kind the retiring
president laid aside the robes of pow
er and became a simple private citi-
zen. When he left the White House
for the depot his sole escort consisted
Of 500 members Of New York re-
publican club. At his home on Oys-
ter Bay Mr. Roosevelt is now enjoy
Ing the simple life. of which he has
been so long an advocate.
Now that he has retired from Of
flee Theodore Roosevelt will in many
ways be more interesting figure
than ever before. While president his
real personality was partly obscured
by the glamor that always surrounds
the presidency. As private citizen
Mr.. Roosevelt will be watched close
y, Whether or not his marvellous
is to continue will depend
largely upon what he does. He can
still further increase his hold upon
The affections of the American peo-
Pile; he can follow such a course as
to greatly lower the estimation in
which he is held.

THE IMPORTANT THING.

Whether the Commercial associa-
tion moves its quarters or remains
where it is is not of great conse-
quence. But It is important that the
issue be settled deliberately and in
such a manner as to produce the least
possible discord within the associa-
tion. The sentiment of the majority
of members should prevail and when
a decision is reached every member
should Loyalty abide by il
The important thing is to get the
association rooms improved; to COM
bine the association and the public
ity bureau and to get a good, capable
manager or secretary to have charge
of the work. While waiting for the
next monthly meeting the association
officers might well devote some time
to seeking out such a man, Such
men are not TO be found on every
street corner.

II is also said that soap received its name
from the town OF Savonna near Genoa. The

with olive oil, thus accidentally discovered

soap was unknown TO the ancIents but there
IS documentary evidence IN support OF the
contrary opinion
There is found no trace whatever OF soap
or an analogous substance among the Greeks
When Homer IN his Odyssey describes Pm
cess Nausica washing linen with her servants,
he fails TO mention any substance except
water used IL washing. Among the Romans,
however. soap was known from the first cen

use the soap invented by the Gauls, for CIV

In the runs Of Pompen soap houses have
been found which prove beyond doubt that
the preparation Of soap was known TO the
ancient Romans.
