COL. M'NAUGHT SAYS
WEST END SLEEPS

]. F. McNaught, head of the Max
well Land and Irrigation company OF
Hermiston, has been in the city to-
day He has just returned from a
visit to the irrigation projects near
the Columbia river over in Washing
ton. He was at Hanford, Two Rivers,
Alfalfa and other places. When asked
what he had learned upon his trip
the colonel said:
II found out great many things.
We have either been asleep down in
the west end of this county or else
there is something else the matter.
over on the Washington projects.
where water is secured by pumping,
they are selling land for three times
what the land under the Umatila
project is going for. Land under one
of the poorest projects over there is
selling for $400 per acre"
That the governmental provision re-
quiring residence upon land under
the Umatilla project has something to
do with the present low prices is ad-
mitted by Col. McNaught How
ever, he says this provision should
not bar Pendleton people from invest
ing since the vicinity limit has been
extended to include all points not
more distant than so miles from the
project He declares himself at
loss to understand why there has not
been more local interest in the west
end as a field for investment.

II was decided to take action this

Who support. tn. wifsY

Rev. Anna Howard Shaw and Mrs.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman had a debate
the other day in New York. the ques-
ton being, do husbands support their
wives?" Rev. Anna Shaw said that
they do not, but that in this semi
civilized country in thirty-eight Of the
States the title to the children rests.
not in the mother, but in the father.
Women cannot legally possess their
own children nor own their clothes.
The more work a woman does the less
her husband gives her. Mrs. Gilman
said that II stenographer earning
SIS a week married an invalid and he
stayed home and did the work while
she made the money, people would say
she supported him, and logically the
wife doing the same thing was sup
ported. The audience, however. voted
in favor Of the proposition Of DR..

Fun IL . Necessity.

Most people have the impression
that fun and humor are life incident

The Great American Woman.
A French literary woman and 80
biologist studying the big cities Of
America tells us that our civilization
will be the best the world has ever
seen, because of the influence Of the
American woman OH our educational
system and our club life.
1t is always pleasant to hear nice
things about ones own, and the Ameri-
can man is more easily and surely fiat
tered by praise of his wife and daugh-
tiers than by any other method. OF
course, we know that the American
woman Is the finest of her sex, but
1t is not every day that her European
sister will admit 1t.
The European man has always
known her superiority, and the num-
Der Of American wives in European
homes is proof Of his good judgment.
On the other hand, it is an encourag
ing sign of growing appreciation of
the American man that a real, titled
aristocrat from the old world has
found the man of her heart in Balti
more.
Who knows but one of these days
we shall have princesses and duchesses
and all that sort of thing in our best
society, keeping up the drawing room
while the plain American husband pro-
duces the shekels to do the keeping?
A vast amount Of American money has
gone to Europe with American brides,
and 1t Is no more than fair that
foreign title or two should come to
this country to even up.
Earls and dukes bolster up their
family fortunes with American wives
and money, so why shouldn't European
ladies Of title take husbands from our
goat American nobility to maintain
them in dignity suitable to their rank
