4 COW CRICK RIVAL.

The dood who bought the Two-Bar
ranch last fan
Has got a bronx that feeds on gaso-
line,
And he's been takln' her in that ma
chine
And my cayuse amt in the game at
all;
1t makes a man feel mean. and
mighty small.
When he Sticks up, and dons a
necktie green.
And then he meets her, comm like
sixteen,
And one swift nod is just the cow
boys haul.
1t seems sometough. when I, who ur
and rode
Old Steamboat at the Cheyenne
buckin' show,
Have got to give way to that Two
Bar boss;
Oh, Fate, you sure have packed me
with a load
A rival who would fall Off-and
KNOW
If he should try to ride a rockin
hoss.

TRUST THE PEOPLE.

In an interesting talk upon the
subject Of popular voting upon busi-
ness issues the spokesman-Review
says:
at is often questioned whether the
general public is qualified to decide
certain matters Of financial policy that
arise in the administration Of every
cltyg affairs. Intricate problems are
sometimes involved with which the
average voter ls not accustomed to
deal. and .t is held that the decision
Of such matters ought to rest with
experienced business men.
"The new styles Of city government
which include the referendum, risk
many of these questions TO popular
vote and are criticised for this sea-
son. Yet there are few matters Of
financial policy that the average voter
Is incapable Of understanding. If theS
are sufficiently explained 70 him. and
tee ness plans provide for complete
uublicity through a municipal publ
cation.
"In general It may be said that the
Judgment Of the people is reliable. II
is certainly the final remedy fol

ALFALFA.

That the growing of alfalfa is an
industry that is stiu in It's infancy :
declared by W. II. Daughtrey, a man
who has had much experience with
that forage crop. In the past, alfalfa
was regarded as being valuable only
for local feeding purposes. Now there
is an almost unlimited market for it
in the large cities Of the coast. Both
baled alfalfa hay and alfalfa meal
are IN great demand. Then there is
a heavy demand for alfalfa seed.
Farmers who desire to do so may
thresh their alfalfa crops and sell the
seed. At the present time nearly all
the alfalfa seed comes from Utah.
That there is a great demand for
alfalfa is indeed fortunate. As the
arid lands of eastern oregon become
reclaimed more and more alfalfa will
be grown. To irrigated farming alfal-
ia bears much the same relation that
wheat does to non-irrigable farming.

abuses Of political power Its mis-
takes have usually been due TO mis-
information, and the old party sys-
tenn Of city government has made it
difficult for citizens to know what
they were voting for or to understand
the inside OF municipal affairs"
This is true. Good judgment is not
all confined to big business men and
lawyers. Often it occurs that a small
is better informed upon
a current subject than are some of
his prominent neighbors, Then the
taken collectively, are honest
and will generally vote from a disin-
standpoint.

BREAKING AWAY.

It is well that the legislature has
broken away from hidebound opposi-
ton to needed appropriations, The
rank and file Of the people of this
state will applaud the action The
majority Of Oregonians are progress
slve people. They are willing to spend
money for the improvement of schools
and to better the state along indus
trial lines.
Had the legislature taken a stand
pat attitude. as the pessimistic ele-
ment desired. the development Of the
state would have been stunted. ore
gon Will grow largely in proportion to
the money that is spent in develop
ment work. If man has big
farm he can make It a more produc-
tive and a more valuable property by
the wise expenditure of money. He
needs good fences and good barns
and granaries. He must till every
acre. If he does this his place will
increase in value. If he refuses to
make improvements he becomes
known as a shiftless farmer and a
"back number"
It is much the same with the
state. If oregon will provide for
good schools; open its river improve
its land highways; provide for the
betterment Of its livestock industry;
establish experiment stations and
make possible the digging of artesian
wells. the development Of the state
will be furthered to that extent.
At this time the state of Oregon
suffers in a comparison with the state
Of Washington because oregon has
followed a niggardly policy towards
its educational institutions and be-
cause the state has not been vigorous
enough n demanding what is justly
due from the man who owns the
transportation system Of the state
The state has sat still and trusted in
God when it should have gotten in
and helped itself
It now looks Ike the present leg
islature viii break away, TO an extent
at least. from its feeble, parsimonious
attitude Of the past. If it does we
will soon have a greater oregon.

GERONIMO.

The death of old Geronimo at Fort
sill recalls a closed chapter in the his
tory Of the southwest. Years ago
Geronimo's name was one that
brought terror to the hearts of Arl-
zona women and caused their hus-
bands and brothers to look to their
rifles.
In the latter years of his life as a
prisoner Geronimo was a figure of in
tereSt and much maudlin sentiment
was expressed regarding him. But in
Arizona he was still remembered as a
bloodthirsty, murderous Apache who
had butchered women and children
and cut the hearts from dead mems
bodies. The same was true of the
inhuman Apache Kid, who came af-
ter him. The latter and his follow
ers would slaughter helpless families
and then flee across the boundary
line into Sonora: He was finally kill
ed and the people of the territory re-
io,ced as one does at the death of a
rattlesnake.
Geronimo is now dead and obitu-
aries are in order. If his biographers
tell the truth about him they will say
he should have been hung 20 years
ago

From appearances the normal
schools will not get the appropria-
tlons they really deserve. But if the
legislature will maintain them for the
next two years perhaps by that time
the state will learn that normal
schools are needed and will support
them better at the next session.

The minis were also white and green

FIRTH scHEFF AT THE GRAND.

Several factors combine to lift "The
Prima Donna" above all mediocrity.
First and most potent factor Is
FRITZ Scheff, her piquant charm, her
wonderfully controlled voice. Some-
thing of her vivacity was gone, II
seemed last night at the Grand, put
there was natural charm enough left
to elicit appreciative applause at her
every entrance. to make her out
genuine favorite from the first.

the star has figured here before. An
ANALYSIS of the new opera. however
discIoses a disparity In the construc-
ton of the nrst and second acts that
leads the observer TO the conclusion
that the efforts of the author failed
utterly with the climax Of the first
act. After that, with the exception OF
one or two musical numbers. the opera
Is a disappointment
The first act Is the excellence OF the
show; the second sort OF an anti
climax. In construction. strength. dra-
matte qualities. there Is no COMPARE

hussars. "A Rose in the Garden OF
Love-" was one of the charming bits
OF the show.
A spectacular ensemble In the frst
act. depicting the throng In the dance
hall and its realistic behavior, adds
novelty and ,attractiveness. The cli-
max OF the first act. which is. embod-
led in the scene between the Prima
Donna and the drunken Captain Borde-
nave, possesses dramatic qualities at
higher order than most comic operas
can claim.
Every line was light. but the espe-
ciai lightness of the humorous parts
made good for the principal comedian.
