A law framed thousands Of years
ago by the ancient Romans, and the
only one bearing on the subject, may
have to be amended or wholly null
fled before airships go shooting about
through space at their own sweet
will This important fact was brought
out at a meeting Of aeronauts in
London only few days ago.
At present nobory has the right to
fly across occupied land. The world
is governed by the ancient Roman
law, "Usque ad Coleum." 1t means
that every land owner has a right to
the air above his head as far as he
chooses to go, and can get an in
junction to destrain any one from
flying through it. So far nobody
has attempted to put the law
into force. 1t would be most uncom.
Portable not to say disastrous. for a
farmer suddenly to emerge from his
barn or smOkehouse and pepper ones

the aeronaut from his lofty perch
might not be expected TO see the NO

mitigating circumstance with the ru-

BE AN AMERICAN.

1t is one Of the greatest weaknesses
of human nature that people will look
far and wide for things that lie close
at hand. Never was this truth better
illustrated than in the case of those
who are rushing pell nell into Can
ada. Like a band of sheep many
people from this county have rushed
up into the frozen north and invest
ed locally earned money in cheap
land. Canadian Pacific land agents.
who have been making handsome
commissions. have naturally applaud
ed their action.
But there is no earthly need for a
Umatilla county man to go abroad TO
make profitable investments This
county itself offers golden opportuni-
ties Down in the west end of this
county there are thousands Of acres
of land that is going to be Of almost
inestimable value. Land that may
now be had for 500 per acre, or a
trifle more, is going to be worth ST.
900 or more within five years time.
Does this sound like fairy tale? In
vestigate it and you will find it is the
truth. Canadian land agents are
claiming that Alberta offers golden
advantages for farmers. They are
paid to do such work. But compared
with the opportunities in the irrigat-
ed districts Of this county, Canadian
investments are a flimflam. The real
gold IS right near you if you but look
it up.
Just now the Canadian Pacific
people are circulating literature de-
rogatory to this county. They claim
Oregon offers no good inducements
for newcomers or for poor people.
This Is a SANDER that is unworthy
even a foreign real estate concern.
Compared with that bleak northwest
territory Oregon is a paradise. This
IS a land Of milk and honey. This is
a land where people live; where there
are schools and churches; where the
American flag makes a man a man.

HOLDING THE SIlEIN.

When Madge and | We're sweethearts
in the winters long ago.
We used to trace the future IN the
fires ruddy glow,
The pictures are forgotten, but the
memories remain
OF Madge the yarn winding, and l
Il held the skein.
/ watched her nimble fingers with
tips as red as wine.
And if the yarn grew tangled-why, it
wasn't fault of mine,
For I was building castles where my
little queen should reign.
While Madge the yarn was winding,
and II held the skein.
Demure as any nun was she, this lit
tie queen of mine,
Twas plain that l should be the oak,
and she the clinging vine;
She bent to every whim of mine, and
ne'er d'd she complain
In those days when she wound the
yarn, and II held the skein.
But since we now are married, and
our children Chamber round.
And find the fire pictures that so long
ago we found
And now that there's a frock to mend
and little socks to darn
She winds me round her finger as she
used to do the yarn.

THE WATER CODE.

There IS occasion for congratula-

legislature to take such step. 1t
was asserted that Oregon was with
out water laws and that the irriga-
uon interests We're not safe. But un-
tn this wear the appeal was i'm vain
This was largely because there were
many conflicting interests ana cer-

Bold as an invading ranger
And his boldness was his forte.

Worthy druggists everywhere sell

always ask for Dioxogen by name. Do not
merely ask for "peroxide of hydrogen" as this

How the PURE and the
IMPURE May Bear the
Same Chemical Symbols

Many people, and even many druggists, believe
that all peroxide of hydrogen is alike, because it
all bears the same chemical symbols H.Os. The
chemical symbol of plain water is H O, and dirty
water can be just correctly described by this
symbol clean water; yet, would want
to drink dirty water simply because its chemical
symbol is H @.
The cheap and inferior grades of peroxide of
hydrogen, suitable only for bleaching and similar
purposes, be and are properly described by
the symbol no.. 1t is, however, just as reason
able to these bleaching kinds for personal use,
chemical symbol as pure water.
ties in bleaching peroxide make it unfit for personal
e they are less expensive to make, they are some
