THE SAME OLD ATTITUDE.

If the government abandons the
proposition Of extending the Umatilla
project Oregon will have grounds for
complaint and no mistake. This
commonwealth has never been treated
fairly by the government for while
the state has contributed much to the
reclamation fund comparatively little
has been expended on Oregon pro-
jects. When the amendment was
passed freeing the government from
the necessity Of spending in each state
the amount contributed to the fund
balm for Oregon was handed out in
the form of an announcement that
the Umatilla project would be ex-
tended. Vow It seems there is danger
this announcement will not be carried
out Should the project be abandon
ed the government will only be follow
ing up its past attitude Of indiffer-
ence' towards Oregon.

tity OF the supply being assured, the
legal aspect OF the water right should
be scrutinized. In this scrutiny the
doctrine Of prior appropriation should
govern The investor should there
fore be satisfied that no attempt is
being made to pirate the rights of
others or interfere with their legiti-
mate development. The rights OF all
prior appropriations must be re-
spected by the new enterprise. other
wise disappointment and disaster are
inevitable.
1t goes without saying that the in
vestor should satisfy himself as to the
character and value of the land to be
irrigated This will involve consld-
erations Of location, transportation
facilities and nearness to markets.
The average business man will appre-
ciate the importance of these and
should be able TO form a reasonable
judgment thereon. Other considera-
tons. such as character and depth of
soil. subsoil, topography and probable
productiveness, are matters on which
expert advice should be obtained The

LIP WORSHIPPERS.

II is certainly amusing to see the
sylicltude with which the assembly,
ties regard the direct primary law.
Now that the assembly has been held
and the candidates-seIect must go be-
fore the people for endorsement they
are heart and soul for the direct pri-
rlary-to hear them tell it. But It is
lip worship only. At heart the as
Sc mbly politicians hate the direct pri-
mary and in moments of candor they
do not deny the fact If they did not
hate it they would not have held an
assembly. The assembly scheme IS
absolutely antagonistic- to the spirit
and letter OF the direct primary law.
The direct primary law was passed
for the purpose Of doing away with
b7ssism and with manipulation such
as attended the old convention system
and which have been revived under
the assembly A man cannot be an
assemblyite and yet be a sincere sup
porter Of the direct primary. You
cannot serve God and Mammon-at

business in its entirety. They DO not
mix with the people in their own line.
They can not do the right thing be-
cause they are not in a position 10
set broad view OF their affairs.
Many men who spend too many
hours a day in their offices get into
the habit Of wasting a great deal Of
time with callers-taIking doing all
sorts OF things outside oI business
whereas the man who spends only a
lev hours in his office is obliged TO
attend strictly to business from the
moment he enters until he leaves.
Everybody knows that his time Is
precious and that people who call
pAon him must be brief The result
IS that he makes his time count and
often accomplishes more in few
hours than the man who spends eight
or nine hours each day in his office.
The modern method Is TO do the ac-
tral business with dispatch. make
every minute count and then go out
and play with as much enthusiasm as
one had previously put into work"
Men who devote much energy to
their work must take steps to con-
serve their energy and to restore the
supply when It becomes low.

VACATIONS.

The following paragraph from a
current magazine sets forth the best
argument why men should take va
cations and should also take more
or less time for recreation each
day.
mo man gets the true perspective
sf his life until he gets away from
his usual routine. and gets a new,
fresh viewpoint from outside.

Here is a Communication that has
just been received by the East Ore

that is timely:
Editor East Oregonian:
why not star. a movement through

On the tower Or erect monument
somewhere on the dam Of the Cold
Springs reservoir in honor Of saxton
ard his discovery Of the site. saxton
had a splendid mind and a. spirit of
purpose and the sacrifice he made is
well worth this tribute to his memory.
Very truly,
E. P. DODD.
Surely 1t would be only right and
fitting to honor the memory Of the
dead engineer in some way. He rem
dered good and valuable service to the
people Of this county and especially
those OF the west end section. In
gratitude something should be done
to show appreciation Of that work
and also the esteem in which saxton
was held by all who knew him.
This paper suggests that a COM
mittee composed Of Hermiston and
Pendleton friends Of the reclamation
engineer take this matter up at once
with 4 view to having tablet or a
monument erected at the reservoir. II
such committee will secure esti-
mates as 10 the cost Of such an un-
oertaking and obtain the necessary
cooperation Of the government sure
u the money win be forthcoming for
this worthy purpose.

ALWAYS TALKING OF THE HEAT

Hear the folks in house and street
Always talking of the heat,
With humid sort Of humor as they
part or as they meet.
How they talk. talk. talk,
As they sit or as they walk,
or mosquitoes, and of breezes that the
suns attacks could balk;
How they weep
Over sleep
That won't come to them at night.
How the girls
Fret of curls
That will never twist Alright!
See the men rotundly fat,
Each with a cabbage lear in hat,
And with gaping shirt and vest
Wishing they were more undressed!
And the women, slim and plump.
Sitting down with angry bump.
Vowing that they know they'll die,
While they fan, and fuss, and sigh

Nor to drink the frigld liquids that are

Nor 10 walk where it Is sunny.
Not to think about our money.
Not 70 quarrel or TO fight,

Hush, They're firing and perspiring
While these things they are requiring,
And the people that they blame
Are replning just the same
And would fain stab through and

Oh the people that you meet
Standing with reluctant feet
Where the shade and sunshine meet
While they grumble and repeat

IRRIGATION SECURITIES.

The Investor should first satisfy
himself as to the sufficiency Of the
available water supply from a physi-
cal standpoint This should require
advice from a qualified engineer and
irrigation expert, because the points
to be determined are not only meas
urements of water that may be di-
verted, but knowledge Of the propor-
ton possible to be conveyed by canals
to the land in spite Of seepage and
other losses and the amount neces-
sary to apply to the land. The guam
