FURTHER RECLAMATION.

Because of the tangled state of af-
fairs into which the reclamation SER
wee has been thrown by the PinchOt-
Ballinger controversy it is difficult to
predict what will be given oregon in
the way Of further irrigation. 1t is
also evident that stories relating to
further work in Oregon are colored
largely for political purposes. How
ever, it is certainly to be hoped that
the report is true which predicts that
the Umatilla project will be extended
to lands lying west of the Umatilla.
West Of the Umatilla river there is a
great tract Of arid land and it should
be watered. Whether it should be re-
claimed with water from the John
Day river, from the Columbia or from
the Umatilla is a proposition that
must be determined by the engineers.
What eastern Oregon wants is further
reclamation. We are entitled to it
and no petty quarrel should be allow
ed TO deprive us Of the same.

HE Is PROGRESSIVE.

Just how strong Col. Roosevelt will
go in the matter of endorsing the
insurgent or progressive wing of his
party it is difficult to foretell 1t
seems very plain, however. that the
eN-president is with that element,
heart and soul. The many confer
ences between prominent insurgents
and conservationistS and the colonel
indicate this. Latest of these was the
meeting between Congressman Poin-
GeXter of Washington and Roosevelt
Though the colonel says the associ-
ated press garbled its report of that
meeting it is evident that he meant
70 lend encouragement to Poindexter
in the fight he is making for the
Washington senatorship. 1t is natur-
al he should wish TO aid Poindexter
and other insurgents. They are the
men who stood by him and helped
him to put his policies into effect.
Roosevelt is preeminently a progress
sive and while he was president he
put progressive ideas into effect
wherever possible. The ex-president,
more than any one else, is responsible
ment throughout the United States.

FIGHT THIS UNFAIR SCHEME.

Unless the people of Pendleton and
other sections Of the county opposed
to division wake up and wage an ac-
tive campaign there is danger that
the Orchard" county measure may
pass. This because the situation with
respect to this county is now greatly
misunderstood throughout the state.
When the "Orchard" county scheme
was first launched it went forth under
false colors It was announced in an
associated press dispatch from Walla
Walla that the move had originated
in Pendleton. The story was so word
ed as TO make the reader infer local
people had started the move in order
to be rid of the Milton-Freewater sec
ton because it is a dry stronghold
OF the county.
or course the story was point
blank lie and the circulation of such
q story reflects no credit upon those
responsible for its PRONUNCIATION.
Nevertheless that story has had an
effect in many places. A lie that is
not refuted sometimes has all the
power Of a truthful statement.
Another glaring mistatement made
by the divisionists was that the peo-
pie OF Weston and of Athena were in
sympathy with their scheme This
was proven incorrect at the very start
because the business men Of both
towns and the newspapers Of both
places came out flatfooted against the
proposition The people Of Athena and
Weston are as bitterly opposed to di
vision as are the people of Pendle-
ton They have good reasons for be-
ing so opposed.
But all this will avail nothing un-
less the truth is made known broad
cast throughout the state. All the peo-
pie Of the state vote upon division
measures and If Umatilla county is
70 remain intact then the people must
go out in a statewide campaign and
show up the true conditions. To do
this will require much work and much
money. The committee is now ready
TO raise the fund and upon the size
o the fund that is raised will depend
the strength Of the campaign that is
t. be waged against this unfair and
high-handed scheme.
Get ready to do your part. The
money is needed.

THE STUDY OF LIGHT.

Recent improvements in electric
lighting. giving vastly better light for
one-third the former cost. have arous-
ed public interest in illumination as
| never before. No more than twelve
years ago the title "s illuminating en-
gineer was unheara of and il took
i've years to get the electrical field
To recognize the new profession. 1t
was not until the present season that
the world had recognized the new
profession and the foremost colleges
are now preparing courses in the sci
ence of Illuminating engineering.
With the science of illumination
still in its infancy II is not strange
that very few people know anything
about the great laboratories where
lights are studied and improved for
che public good.
foremost in the world of articifial
illumination is the General Electric
company. and its great laboratories at
Schnectady, y. Y. are the most COM
plete in the world for the study of the
electric light. This laboratory is in
reality series of great dark rooms
specially equipped for the measuring
of light rays, the study of light ray
colors and replete with machines for
measuring the strength of all lamps.
registering the amount of light as well
as analyzing the various colors of each
light spectrum.
The first room of real interest is
that wherein incapdescent lamps are
analyzed to find out now many red
and violet rays each light spectrum
contains.
In another room Is located the
laboratory power equipment consist
ing of storage batteries which act as
voltage regulators to maintain
steady stream of electricity for the
delicate instruments. There are al
so the necessary motor generator sets
for producing the desired amount of
electricity and the large switchboards
for distributing the same.
The next room is a large workshop
where new instruments are designed
and made. This room also contains
a rotary sectional disk for reducing
the candle power of any lamp so that
il can be easily tested. The life of
the incandescent lamps are tested in
Il small room where the temperature
is maintained constant and the lamps
are protected by a wire screen. Here
each new lamp is given a test to see
how long it will burn and what the
candle power depreciation is during
its lifetime.
In large dark room is located the
incandescent lamp photometer This
device consists of two large revolving
mirrors before which is hung the lamp
to be tested. on "A long sliding scale
are located the reading disks and the
guide lamp. This device will give the
exact candle-power of any lamp.
In another room is located the va
rious types of luXimeters. These de-
vices can be set on the library table
and will register exactly the amount
of light given at that distance from
the chandelier. or. if placed on the
floor will tell the exact candle power
of the light at that level. These de-
vices are also used to determine the
candle power of street lamps at diff
ferent angles and distances from the
lamps

OUT OF SEASON.

Here's one farmer who does not be-
lieve in things out of season.
a number of cyclists were taking
ride through New Jersey. Becom-
ing thirsty, they stopped at a farm
house and asked the farmer if they
could get a drink.
Certainly" replied the farmer.
But I've only got buttermilk."
Great" replied the cyclists in
unison, Just what we're after"
The farmer then proceeded to bring
out the buttermilk.
Great stuff" remarked one of the
cyclists. But it would be better still
if it had some ice in it,"
Have you any ice?" asked one of
the men of the farmer
"Ice!" exclaimed the farmer, "who
ever heard of ice in the latter part Of
April?"
