vice which the country is waiting to

the elimination Of the petty local
plum" system of distributing money
for improvements, not in accordance
with commercial needs, but in accord
ance with congressman's claims.
The improvement of the Illinois and
Mississippi water way is by no means
the only great development Of that
kind which the country needs. 1t Is
foremost among them, however, be-
cause of the great commerce available
the moment a modern water way is
provided. Commissioner Smiths re-
port shows more than ever the i'm
portance of an early start upon this
project.

no important inland water way traffic

it is not worth while to build any sucn
system, says the Yakima Republic. The
unfortunate Hennepin canal, begun on
antiquated plans, built not as a public
work but as a private fist-full pulled
out of the rivers and harbors grab-bag
and completed when even the memory
OF its original mission had almost been
lost, is frequently mentioned as a
case in point,
The report just made by Commits
sioner of Corporations Herbert Knox
Smith is valuable because it shows
to the full extent the futility of our
present inland water systems. 1t will
doubtless be seized on sophistically to
furnish arguments against water way
development, but only by the unalter-
able enemies of such development.
The real lesson of the report is, how,
ever, just the opposite, 1t not only
shows the futility of present water
ways, but it shows the reasons for the
futility. Varying depths of canals,
lack of connection between different
canals, lack of such arrangements as
will enable them to handle through
traffic; lack indeed, Of any such sys-
as the early railroads of
the country went through when they
were combined into the great through

at the bottom of the trouble.

FOR THE CHILDREN's SAKE.

The arrest of five boys yesterday
on the charge of pilfering junk calls
vividly to mind the fact that the par
ents and the officials of the city have
a never ending problem to deal with.
A problem that requires constant
thought and watchfullness. While
there can be no doubt that the great
est responsibility rests upon the par
ents, the tendency of many of these
parents to allow their children to have
their own way and do very much as
they please, shifts a responsibility on.
to the city which cannot be ignored
and which is greater than the un-
thinking realize.
The pilfering boy of today, If al
lowed TO 90 unchecked. is in a fair
way to become the thief and the rob-
Der Of tomorrow. Home training or
the lack Of it, is largely responsible
for the condition Of affairs which ex-
lists in this and every other city,
though it must be admitted that there
exceptions to all rules and that some
are exceptions.to all rules and that
some Of the most incorrigible boys
come from model homes,-homes
where the parents apparently make
every possible effort to bring their Off
spring UP right.
One Of the most difficult features
in connection with the problem is the
punishment Of the boy by the author
tiles after he has been detected in
wrong doing. Should he be fined or
imprisoned like an older criminal?
The East Oregonian believes not and
thinks that Acting Police Judge Haley
acted wisely in turning yesterdays
delinquents over to the Juvenile court
when he discovered the city ordi-
nances provided only the two alter
natives
The greatest endeavor of the au-
thorities, however, should be directed
along lines Of prevention, instead Of
cure. Commenting upon this phase
OF the subject recently, the Spokane
Chronicle says:
"The curfew ordinance, which will
come up for final passage at the next
meeting Of the city council, is likely
to be passed. The testimony Of the
authorities of the juvenile court Is to
the effect that a large percentage Of
the delinquents brought before that
court are boys and girls whose par
ents have permitted them to roam the
streets and frequent the public parks
unattended at late hours Of the night.
The new state law makes the parents
OF such children responsible for their

behavior and the passage and sensible

YOU SHOULD OWN LAND.


After declaring that it is time to
talk again about owning real estate,
the san Francisco Examiner says:
A good many of our readers have
bought land on our advice, many 9TH
ers win buy it.
or those that have bought, some are
glad and some are sorry. But only
those that bought absolutely foollshly.
without reflection or Judgment, win
regret their purchases in the long run.
There is just one thing that is safe
and permanent as an investment, and
that is the earth on which we stand.
While our system of private ownership
OF real estate shall last, the man who
owns no ground cannot call himself
free or safe.
Money saved vanishes suddenly,
stocks drop in value. Real estate lasts,
it rarely goes backward, it increases
in price nearly always.
The romances of real estate profits
are extraordinary all over the country.
In New York City, of course, they are
phenomenal. The other day Mr..
Burton of New York bought the north
west corner of Thirty-eighth street
and Fifth avenue for 1925, 900. His
own father had sold that piece of
ground not very many years ago for
forty-seven thousand dollars.
There is a lesson in the value of
land, and in the folly of selling it pre-
maturely.
Think about real estate, about COM
bining the saving of rent, the making
of a good, safe investment and big
future profits, and above all, a COM
Portable healthy home for yourself and
family.
Don't be in too great a hurry, but
don't wait too long. Little by little
the land in the best places will slip
away and go up in value.
Look the field over for yourself.
Read the advertisements of real estate
for sale, and write your friends in
the country and get any special in,
formation that you can.
Go out and look at the property.
Don't get excited and hurried or talk
ed into buying against your will.
Think everything over carefully, the
distance from your work, the distance
from the railroad station, the prob
able Improvement in railroad facili-
ties.
If you are not able to build now
buy your land, pay for it little by lit
tie if you cannot pay all, but don't go
beyond your means under any circum-
stances.
Build a small house at first, as you
get the money and live in it while
you are saving to make the house Dig
ger. You could easily start with Il
four-room house, small, modest, and
put on an addition without spelling
the looks of it.
If you have bought, or when you do
buy, don't get Discouraged because
you see grass and weeds growing in
the lot that was so well kept while
the real estate speculator was BOOM
ing it.
Don't be discouraged if you fail to
see dozens of buildings sprouting like

even after transportation facilities
exist.
Be deliberate, careful, keep within
your means, for debt and worry are
abominable.
But get good piece of real estate
and hold onto 1t if you can.

THE CALL OF THE WEST.

What has come over the resident of
the middle west cities and rural dis
tricts alike manifesting such interest
in farm homes in the far west, north
west, and southwest? asks the Chi
cago Tribune and then answers its own
question.
That city dweller welded to urban
life and looking upon everything out
side of it as terra incognita and not
worth while fails to understand It.
He appreciates the rush of the '49er
t1 the gold fields of California, ana
he understands the Black Hills ad-
venturer in the early 7O's. But as to
the present rush for farm homes in
that vast general section 'of the Unit
ed states which his primary geog-
raphy thirty years ago dismissed as
the Great American desert"-he is
all at sea.
He isn't awake to the fact that in
the last half dozen years the farmer
has been encroaching upon the Great
American Desert" in a manner to
make the geographer of a generation
ago ashamed of himself. He has over
looked that today, in the making OF
preparations for farming in a dozen
western states and territories, his own
national government is spending a
gold mine a month in salaries and
wages for the reclamation service. He
is ignorant of the fact that every year
the total value of crops harvested
from reclaimed lands makes the pro-
duct of the famous Comstock mine
insignificant by comparison.
But the nerve racked, brain tired
man of the cities and the farm renter,
paying interest upon farm investments
in lands valued at 500 to 5000 an
acre in the middle vest, has been more
awake to the something doing out
west. That old call of the west"
again has become as potent as it was
in the days of the gold fever, only
that it is so much less spectacular
since the passing of the prairie
schooner and the substitution of the
vestibuled railroad train at home-
seekers rates.
Back to the simple life" in these
last few years has proved something
more than the philosophizing of
dreamer. Just as years ago, after the
gold rush to California, it suddenly
was discovered that the states wheat
crop was worth hundreds of thous-
ands more than the product of its gold
mines, the present day seeker for
western farm lands needs only the
assurance of water on arid lands to
tempt him. And in the last three
years the national government alone
has spent s1OO,OOO,OOO to the end of
supplying water to 100000 arid
acres which need only the water to
make gold mines of the soil.
But where the government has spent
its $1OO,OOO.OOO toward eradicating
that great American desert" private
enterprise has spent nearly twice as
much and brought another 10000, 1000
acres of desert into fruitfulness. Tens
of thousands of settlers have gone
westward from the cities and farms
of the central west and tens of thou
sands more of them are making in
quiry and taking inventory of them
selves, their families, and their cash
resources, with the purpose of follow
ing.

CONCRETE BRIDGES DECIDED
ON FOR THE HILO EXTENSION

L. A. Thurston returned yesterday
on the Mauna Kea from three weeks
trip to Hilo where he went on bust
ness connected with the extension of
the new railroad from Hilo. He de-
voted his time principally to the Sc
curing of rights of way along the coast,
northerly from Hilo. The extension
begins at the foot of Waianuenue
street, near the old postoflice, and
crosses the Waikiki river in direct
line. The span is about 600 feet and
this will be crossed by bridge on
concrete piers, rock fill extending out
200 feet from each shore.
The line runs through Puueo, the
northerly suburb of Hilo, for dis
lance Of 1900 feet, when it strikes in
to the open country.
While Mr.. Thurston was in Hilo, w.
G. Irwin, who is largely interested in
the new company, and Manager Scott,
were on the ground and arrangements
were made with them by which the
grading of the railroad will go ahead
Immediately, the question of compen.
sation for right of way to be settled
later by the board of directors. The
securing of rights of way involves a
thorough examination Of titles as there
are lot of small native holdings to
cross. There are nearly fifty separate
kuleana titles in the first two and a
half miles.
The company has had the benefit of
the surveys made by the Wilder Rail
road Company, the Kohala-Hilo Rail
road Company, and those for Philip
Peck, in addition to those made by
| the company's own engineers, Messrs
Kluegel and Sisson. AS a result of the
combined information, a much better
line than any heretofore projected has
been secured. The main feature Of
the line, finally adopted, is that in
stead of going up into the many
gulches on one side and coming out
On the graded line on the other, near
ly straight line across the country
has been taken.
Another radical change from any pre-
viously projected line is that instead
of the gulches being crossed by stee
bridges, the projected line will eros

The construction adopted by tn
