REQUIEM OF THE BIG HEART.

BY Charles Badger Clark, Jr.
In Pacific Monthly.
Up the sun-beat hill We will carry
him;
Meath a grim, spiked yucca wen bury
him
And his grave will be hard TO find;
But his pet hawse whickers the whole
day long,
And the boys speak soft and the work
y goes wrong,
And the night don't bring neither
laugh or song,
For his heart was big and kind.
There's never a woman to cry for
him:
Just the dry range wind it will sigh
for him.
And us few that he's left behind.
There's never a parson to talk and
Nor hint of grief in the glarin' day,
But We frown while we shovel the
sand away,
For his heart was big and kind.
All his tale will go to the sand with
'Cept the part that showed like a
brand with him
For his mouth never Dragged nor
whined;
But We read on the face that is still
and pale,
How his game was to lose and his luck
to fail.
And his life was a night on a rain
swep' trail,
Yet his heart was big and kind.
There is some that would see only
wrong in him,
Cause that thirst of hell was so
strong in him,
And his good they would never
mind;
But we all take falls from the trail
We plan
And, though mebbe he slipped in the
race he ran,
When he fell like a beast h"'d set up
like a man,
And his heart was big and kind.
It's the last of the good, bright sun
for him,
And the last, dim chance :; is done
for him,
And the rest of his trail is blind;
So the poor, blurred life, that we
KANT see through,
With its weak and strong and It's
false and true,
Our God of the Open, Wen leave to
You,
For Your heart it is Big and kind

THE PREFERRED CREDITOR.

A member of the commercial swim
ding fraternity lately called his cred
itors together and offered them in
settlement his note for four cents on
the dollar of their claims, payable in
mour months. His brother, one of
the largest creditors, rather kicked
but the debtor took him aside and
said:
do not make any objections, and
1 will make you a preferred creditor"
So the proposal was accepted by all.
Presently the preferred brother
said: s
"Well, I should like to know what
is coming to me-"
"Oh," he replied" you won't get
anything; they won't any of them
get anything" ~
:But 1 thought I was preferred
creditor?"
$50 you are. These notes will not
be paid when they come due; but 1t
will take them four months to find
out that they are not going to get
anything But you know it now.
You see you are a preferred creditor"

THE MIGHTY UMATILLA.

In a book just issued by the state
engineer some very interesting data
is given regarding the water resour-
ces of this state The data relative
to the Umatilla river is of especial in
terest. The statistics gathered by TIE
men engaged in stream gauging show
that the annual discharge at the
mouth of the Umatilla amounts to
over 100000 acre feet. At Yoakum
the flow amounts to slightly over 500
600 acre feet, at Gibbon the flow is
475,OOO acre feet.
These figures show that the Una
tilla as a reclamation agency is not
being used to anything like the maxi
mum of its possibilities. According
to the information given by the state
engineer it takes. in general, from
three to four acre feet of stored water
to reclaim an acre of land. So it is
to be seen that through the use of res
ervoirs the Umatilla may be made to
irrigate from 125,OOO to 10000 acres
of land. At this time there are about
$4,000 acres of land in the combined
projects of the west end. The river
is capable of reclaiming from $4,000
to 100000 acres in addition to that
now under ditch.
Some day the Umatilla will be fully
utilized. 1t is simply a matter of time.
There is land to be reclaimed and
there is money to be maze in irriga-
ton enterprises. In the course of
time men with capital will appear
and they will take advantage of the
opportunities offered. They may come
quickly. Z

morning paper chuckles because II
believes the election of Simon will be
step towards the undoing of the di-
dect primary law. That the. forces
backing Simon are opposed to the d.
rect primary seems plain, but even
should they succeed in electing him
they will fail in their main purpose
if it is the overthrow of the primary
law. EH
There are so many good features
about the direct primary and it has
worked so successfully that its over
throw will be difficult tack. The
direct primary law has cleansed the
political life of oregon in manner
that is pleasing to the rank and file
of the people 1t has put political
machines and party bosses out of
business and placed power directly in
the hands of the people. 1t has done
away with senatorial deadlocks; it
has placed a better class of men in
public office and has caused officials
to become more watchful of the pub
lie interest for the simple reason that
officials now owe their positions di-
rectly to the people and are respon-
sible to the people instead of to po-
litical leaders.
In Washington the same situation
exists. Under the direct primary law
the people of Washington have a new
United States senator of their own
choosing. He is an able senator and
he was elected without long drawn
legislative fight, marked by the old
time log rolling, money using meth
DDS. The state of Washington has
strong, capable business man for
governor. He is now cleansing the
stables of the preceding administra-
ton, that of Mead, man who while
unknown was named for governor
by party convention dominated by
railroad influences and whose cleo
ton to office the people of the Ever
green state now have good reasons
to regret.
OF course there are good honorable
men who really doubt the efficacy
of the direct primary system. This is
not surprising because the old meth
DDS had been used SO long that many
came to regard them as necessary.
But the bulk of the opposition to the
direct primary law comes from dis
gruntled politicians. Their motive in
opposing the system is plain and the
direct primary law will stand in spite
OF their opposition.

GO HIGHER.

Within a few days commencement
exercises will be held by the high
school and by the two local academies,
As usual a group of young people will
be turned forth into the world. But
few of them will be old enough or
we'll enough trained to enter at once
upon the battle with the world. Be-
fore engaging in that struggle they
should receive the benefit of instruc-
ton in higher schools of learning
in colleges, universities or in techni-
cal schools.
There are some who will not agree
with this advice. There are people
who scott at higher education" be-
cause they themselves have succeeded
without it or because they know Of
men and women who have done so.
But these people would have succeed
ed even better had they been blessed
with the advantages of more COM
plete education. At least this is true
in normal cases and it is by these that
we must judge.
The world is fast becoming world
of we'll educated people. Each year
the percentage of college men in high
places becomes greater. In the fu-
ture the percentage will be greater
than it is now. Training that suffices
at this time may not answer in five
or in ten years hence. The high
school graduates of today will live in
the future, not in the present or in
the past.
Perhaps the greatest argument in
favor of attendance at higher schools
is that it is in such schools that stu
dents become broadened and bal
anced. Higher training is usually an
effective cure for personal defects,
whatever they may be. Universities
and colleges are miniature republics.
While attending them students OBJ
tain a glimpse at the world in which
they are to live. They learn what will
do and what will not do. 1t is a valu-
able thing to learn.
At this time the blessing of higher
education is something that is within
reach Of practically every young man
and woman. Higher education is as
free as is instruction in the grades.
Young men and women go through
colleges and universities entirely up
on their own resources. Any young
man or woman in good health may
do SO if he or she but has the proper
ambition. Where there's a will
there's a way"
Don't be contented with an elemen-
tary education. Go higher.
