THE CENSUS.

It is interesting to study the census
returns TO: oregon and note the Sec
tions that have been benefited by
the 62.7 per cent gain in population
during the past ten years.
Naturally the greatest gain has
been in Portland. During the past
ten years, and especially during the
last five, the metropolis has grown
rapidly. other sections of the Will
lamette valley have also become more
closely populated. Clackamas shows
a gain of 10000 Marion of 10000,
and Lane 1900. Southern Oregon
has done quite as well as the VILLAIN
ette valley. Jackson county now has
$4,000 more people than it had ten
years ago. Coos county shows an in
crease of 1900 despite the fact that
Coos has no railroad. Medford has
surprised everybody with a popula-
ton of S4OO.
Eastern Oregon has increased its
population but slightly during the de-
cade. Crook county heads the list
with a gain of over 5000. In some
other counties the gains have been
fairly good. Umatilla makes gain
of 225O in spite of bonanza farming
and the Canadian migration. This
county's gains have been made in the
irrigated sections. Baker county
shows about the same increase as
Umatilla. Union county's population
is practically the same as ten years
ago, but this fact and some of Ba-
kers growth may be attributed to the
transfer Of a part of Unions area to
Baker.
In general way it may be said that
eastern Oregon shows an increase in
those sections to which railroads have
been built and in sections where irri-
CATION is being undertaken. In older
communities where wheat farming
and livestock raising are followed the
population has decreased. Grant
county's population as a whole is now
less than it was ten years ago.
From an eastern Oregon standpoint
the census returns this year are not
very gratifying. Yet it is well to look
the facts squarely in the face. The
lesson taught by the census is that
population follows development. Be-
fore eastern Oregon can grow, rail-
roads must be built to the isolated
sections; irrigation must be under
taken wherever possible and in the
dry land regions the farmers must
take to raising something aside from
wheat.
Great forces are now at work for
the further and closer development
of eastern oregon and ten years from
now it may be our time to boast

FALL AND WINTER IRRIGATION

The Statesman has received a COM
munication from w. H. Scheneck of
Homedale, Ida, on the subject of
winter irrigation. The writer is an
experienced irrigator and he narrates
that in Colorado one fall he irrigated
so acres of oats stubble. The next
year he planted the entire so to corn,
used no water on it during the grow
ing season, although cultivating it
thoroughly, with the result that he
produced better corn than had ever
been grown in that section. Coming to
Idaho Is years ago he put out a small
orchard near Caldwell. He made it
a point to irrigate the trees as late
as he could get water. THE trees
speak for themselves" he adds, "be-
ing now the Polo orchard" He con-
tinues: Il find where 1 am now
that spring wheat, barley and any
other farm crop that natures early
will make a fair crop from fall or
even a winter irrigation. 1t did it for
me last year as dry as it was. Where
alfalfa is old and we'll rooted a win
ter's irrigation will produce two good
crops. But this cannot be done on
soil underlayed with pan (the red,
impervious clay). My orchard was
of this latter kind of soil, but fall
irrigation was a great help.
These observations may be consid-
cred with profit in all irrigated Sec
tions. While not a new theory, it is
apparent few farmers have ever ap-
piled it. The usual course is to ir-
riprDfa only in tho UrnVNinu
While all soils may not produce like
results from fall or winter irrigation,
if the ground can be thoroughly sat-
uraed, the capillary attraction in
springtime will bring the moisture to
the surface as it is needed. making
crops in dry seasons more certain and
conserving the water supply.-Boise

BRIDGE WHIST AND INSANITY.

The incident of a Philadelphia wo-
man, a bridge whist fiend, having
gone insane, as alleged, is being used
to prove that the bridge habit is re-
sponsible for her mental breakdown,
with the inevitable suggestion that
there are others on the way.
In court it was testified to that the
woman in question forgot the trump,
played out Of the wrong hand, and
looked at tricks taken several leads
back. That may hardly be accepted
as conclusive evidence of insanity. A
lot of people forget the trump and
play out of the wrong hand who are
not really insane, at least 1t Is hoped
they are not. The Philadelphia mat
ron may have experienced a mental
disorder from playing bridge inces-
sanity, for too much card playing Is
liable to lead to NERVES" and a nerv-
GUS condition might easily affect the
brain. But the misplays would neith-
er indicate insanity nor, is 1t existed,
would they point to the cause Of a
breakdown. Many game has been
broken up thereby, but no physical
disabilities have followed, that is per-
manently. Occasionally the heart Is
made sore and the soul perturbed, but
the brain works right along normal
ly.
There Is a "craze for bridge" and
In one way many women may be said
to have "gone crazy over bridge" but
It may hardly be taken literally. Card

wholesome recreation, IL not carried
to excess. and when gambling is not

THE POULTRY SHOW.

When the first Umatilla- Morrow
county poultry show was held last
year all who attended were astonish-
ed by the splendid showing that was
made. Many people had previously
uEderestimated the Importance of the
poultry industry in eastern Oregon.
The exhibits showed conclusively that
while this is not known as a close
farming country much poultry is be-
ing raised. The show last year also
opened the eyes of people to the fact
that the raising of fine poultry is a
science and cannot be accomplished
by haphazard work.
It is safe to say that as a result of
last years show the industry has been
stimulated to a considerable extent in
the counties of Umatilla and Morrow.
So there should be a greater exhibit at
the coming show than was possible
before.

man. In other words the saloonmen
are seeing to it that minors will not
testify against them for fear of be-
ing punished themselves.
If Portland wants to make sure of
remaining wet then its city admins
tration should go in for true clean
up. 1t will not do to rely upon the
fact that the home rule amendment
was adopted and state wide prohibi-
ton voted down. This was a wet
year" In Umatilla county ten per
cent of the voters did not pass upon
the liquor question. The men who
did not vote were men with dry ten
denotes. Every saloon vote was got
ten out. If the proper regulative
steps are not taken during the next
two years the same fights that were
waged this year may be waged again
with entirely different results.

The fact that Diaz has been making
peace overtures to the insurgents in
Mexico indicates that the revolution
has not been as completely quelled as
American press reports contend. 1t
is possible the people of Mexico have
endured the Diaz dynasty about as
long as they care to and are now out
to change presidents. In those semi
tropical nations it is the custom for
new president to fight his way in
to office. When driven from power
he is either exiled or shot.

FRATERNAL RELIGION.

In delivering his annual memorial
aGdress to the Pendleton Elks yester-
day, Judge L. T. Harris dwelt elo-
Cuently upon the principles of the or
Ger and showed how observance of
that creed means right conduct on
the part of the members. No man
has ever gone wrong by following
the teachings of Elkdom.
1t is the religion of this and other
fraternal orders that their members
should worship God by being true to
themselves and thoughtful of their
fellowmen. Surely it is good religion
for it is written that men serve God
who serve their fellow men.
