slang and chewing gum We're punish
able offenses.
Have you ever watched a girl chew
ing gum? She does not look very
pretty, does she? If you must chew
gum, do it in the privacy of your own
home; not in the street.
Every girl wants to be considered
ladylike and it is the observance of
small details that makes her appear
so.
The real lady does not use slang
or chew gum or make herself conspic-
uous in any way. She Is modest and
quiet in manner; her voice and laugh
are well modulated.
Men Don't Like TO Hear II.
Men use slang. 1t has become part
of their vocabulary, but they do not
like to hear it from a woman.

active steps are being taken towards
the irrigation Of the present dry farm
ing section. Last saturday meeting
was held in La Grande and farmers
decided to adopt scheme that has
been under consideration for the past
two years. The plan is to dam Beav-
.er creek and thus secure water for
the irrigation Of 10000 acres.
The plan that has been adopted in
Union county was first suggested by
Hon. Waiter N. Pierce. In speaking
edi,orlany Of the status of the project
the La Grande Observer said:
There has been nothing of a pub,
lie nature in many months that is so
important to the Graude Ronde valley
as was the irrigation meeting Of sat
urday at which time the pierce" idea
of districting the valley for the pur-
pose Of promoting irrigation was
practically adopted.
This does not mean that the wa,
ter question is settled and work will
begin at once on the physical plant,
hut it does mean that the first step
has been taken toward an end that
means an increased valuation in this
valley as a whole and every individual
who takes the water in particular.
The plan To sell what has been
done on the irrigation project to new
parties who are interested at actual
cost. is a feature that cannot be over
looked. This project as it stands, is
worth a great deal of money. 1t is
the main artery Of life for this valley
ia the future ana means the key 70
situation which in time will make
it one Of the most valuable undertake
ings in the northwest
In the work the people Of the
Grande Ronde are doing Umatnla
county farmers should be intensely
Interested. The same work may be
done here. Adjacent to the Umatilla
river and to streams like Mckay
creek, Birch creek. Wild Horse and
Pine creek there are thousands Of
acres that need irrigation. This land
needs irrigation more than does the
land of the Granie Ronde valley be-
cause our natural rainfall is less.
Over there the land is now used for
diversified farming. our land is used
exclusively for wheat raising.
We also have the water and have
i; in abundance. At this time the an
uual discharge Of the Umatilla river at
Umatila is over 100000 acre feet, or
sufficient to water 100000 acres of
land to a depth Of one foot. We are
now watering less than $4,000 acres.
The rest Of the water is flowing to the
sea and is being wasted.
What do you think gentlemen? Is
it not time for the people of the
Umatilla valley to give some earnest
attention to the subject Of irrigation?

NT|-GiMBLING
ZONE On BORDER
Also an Anti-SaloOn Zone on
Mexican Side, According
to This Story.

The st. Louis GIobe-Democrat Of last
Sunday, under date of Eagle Pass. Tex.
prints the folloEing:
The establishment of an anti-gam-
bling and anti-saloOn zone, TO extend
the whole length OF the interna tional
border on the Mexico side, is being ad-
vocated by the prohibition and moral
reform advocates on the American side
Of the boundary line. The movement
has received a great impetus recently
by reason of the race meeting that is
being carried on opposite FL PasO in
the town of Juarez. 1t is claimed
Americans flock across the Rio Grande
in great numbers and indulge in wild
excuses of gambling and drinking.
This is alleged to be particularly true
on Sundays, when the saloons in the
Texas border towns are closed
Petitions are now being framed bv
the leaders of this movement for the
establishment of prohibitory zone, and
when enough signatures have been OBJ
tanned TO give them weight they will
be presented tic president Diaz, with
the request that he establish the zone
by executive decree. If il is found
that congressional action is necessary.
the matter will be laid before the law
making body Of that country
Zone % Niles Wide Planned.
1t is planned that this zone shall have
uniform width of about 25 miles and
that II shall extend from the Pacific to
the Atlantic oceans Within this zone
all forms of gambling and liquor SELL
ing shall be prohibited
Already gambling is prohibited in
most Of the Mexican border states. ex-
cept upon special occasions, such as
during religious fiestas and the Christ
mas holiday season
The fact that the saloons in all of the
towns on the Mexican side of the bor-
der are kept wide open on Sundays and
are the gathering place for many
Americans from the dry" towns on the
United States side, practically nuIIifies
the effect Of prohibition in all that
scope OF territory situated close to the
line. 1t is claimed by these prohibition
and anti gambling advocates that the
government authorities of the state of
Chihuahua, including governor Enrique
c Creel, are Disguised with the racing
game as il is now being conducted at
Juarez. and that, unless the owners OF
the concession adopt some radical re-
forms governing the sport, the order
may be issued for the adjustment Of
the track
1t is stated that. since racing was
opened at Juarez, that town has become
the rendezvous for the .riffraff of the
American gambling element from all
over the country; that they have spread
down into the more interior parts of
Mexico, and are giving the police Of the
different towns no little trouble. A
number Of them have already been ex-
peeled from the country under the per-
nicious foreigner act.

zona and New Mexico are also inflicted
