GENTLE AND KINDLY
ACTS ARE IMPORTANT
Little Things in Life Count for
Most After All

Those who have made a study of
human nature and its effect upon exist
ence in general find that the little
things count for much in the intimate
relationships of life, and are a potent
force In shaping a persons character.
The world at large has been unques-
tionably benefited by the deeds of great
men, some of whom have left an ever
lasting impress upon their nations his
tory, says the Charleston News. 1t is a
splendid thing TO have performed an act
which will benefit thousands of persons
The wonderful figures that pass
through life's drama, scoring their tri-
umpns before an enthusiastic public,
serve their purposes admirably and in
struct and entertain many hundreds of
their fellow creatures, but their
achievements count for little in COM
parison with the humber sweeter
more wholesome contentment derived
from the numerous minor incidents
which form so large a part of everyday
existence.
1t does not seem TO matter how Won
derful a mans achievement-the gla-
mour wears off after a while, and the
reality, cold ana stark, seems somehow
to lose some of it's attractiveness and
the triumph some of its glitter. 1t is

Sixty years ago General Green came

worked for the future. He was a
philanthropist and he had that to dis
tribute in which the millionaire is
poor. He gave his ideas and his un-
selfish devotion to this valley and to
the state. He knew that water must
be brought in and placed on these
parched lands so that they could pro-
duce. 1t was he who planned the build
ing of this irrigation system which
is now entering the county. He might
be called the father of irrigation He
planned a mighty system that would
reach from Red Bluff to the Carquinez
straits. He was the grandest man the

COLUSA. May 30.-At the Colusa
celebration today Judge John F. Eli
son delivered an address on the work
ramento valley development associa-
tion. He declared that to him the
Sacramento valley was one OF the
wonders of the world-a great fertile
stretch of land lying between two vast
mountain ranges. with a climate un-
surpassed even by that of the valley
of the Nile or sunny Italy, it stands
unrivaled as a habitation for man.
The speaker added:
"In its combination of soil, water.
climate and scenery it presents a pros
pect for health, wealth, pleasure and
good living that cannot be found any
where else in the known world. and
suggests the thought that it is des-
tined to be the home Of many millions
of happy, prosperous people with a
civilization equal, if not superior, to
any that has hitherto appeared any
where or in any age"
PIONEER GROWERS
Judge Ellison then referred to the
pioneer grain growers lack of appre-
citation of the value and necessity OF
Irrigation.
''The Sacramento pioneer was slow to
note the change that was taking place
in the conditions surrounding him,
added Ellison. Along in the early
eighties he should have noticed that the
land as a grain producer was becom-
ing exhausted; that the price of grain
was decreasing and that labor was get
ting higher, and soon, if there was not
a change, grain growing would cease
TO be profitable.
"One man saw these changing con-
ditions and had the prophetic vision TO
suggest to the land owners what was
coming and also to suggest to them a
plan for radical change in the use
of land and water, and that man was
your honored townsman, w. S. Green
In 1887 Green proposed an irrigation
scheme, but it was years before ne
could get the necessary support of
farmers Ellison continued:
Acting under his suggestion and guild
ed by his resourceful brain. an organi-
zation was formed in Oroville in April
1900. and christened the Sacramento
Valley development association. Since
then it has at all times maintained
permanent offices at the city of Sacra-
mento, and its 10 years work for the
unhuiIding of the valley is a proper
subject for review and criticism"
MUCH WORK DONE
Among the things accomplished were
the following: Induced committee of
congress on waterways to visit Sacra-
mento valley; in 1907 induced Garfield.
Pinchot and others to look over dam
and reservoir sites for valley irriga-
ton; leading factor in inducing govern
ment to start OrIand irrigation project.

LEAGUE IS NOW
ON SOLID BASIS
President Read Calls on
Local Magnates.
SAYS OUTLOOK IS ROSY
At yYT - ~
Newark Welcomes the New
Owners.
Watkins Has Already Commenced 90
Say League Is Outdrawing All
Other Minors--A Word of Praise.

President Robert NJ. Read of the
Ohio state league, called on local
magnates today while passing through
the city enroute to Lima where he
will view today's Newark and Lima
game.
The president Is enthusiastic over
the situation I'm the Ohio State lea
que today; he says that the clubs are
drawing better than any of the other
minor leagues when population of the
cities is taken into consideration and
he expects the last half of the sea-
son to be more satisfactory than the
early weeks.
Mr. Read says that owner Watkins
believes that he has a money making
proposition at Newark and is deter
mined to give the Molders a winning
squad. Already pitcher from the
Kitty league and several others who
are owned by indianapolis are on the
way to join Newark.
The president has had many con-
gratulatory letters and kilograms
from Newark fans and owner Wat
kins has also been given much en-
couragement. With a winner Newark
is a good town and will pay returns
on the investment
After Read had departed Secretary
Allen took occasion to remark that
the present chief executive of the
league is the best that either the Ohio
state or Ohio Pennsylvania league
has never had. He said that Marion
magnates expected the Ohio State
league 10 expire about July Fourth
when the start was made this spring.
Instead they found that a real leader
was in charge and that i'm resource
fumess. sound business judgment and
hustling endeavor he surpassed his
predecessor, Robert quinn, who, all
will admit, was mighty successful
president. Reads work has put tho
league on frmcr basis than IL has
ever been and six cities i'm Ohio may
today thank the president and his
able assistant, Joe Carr, for the base
bali they are enjoying. There were
some perilous moments but they are
past and tn future Is certain to bring
about better things.

hammering until the side was retired

caster kept hitting with regularity
but most of the attacks were for

Baxter Is an unusual pitcher. He
seems not to worry about the oppos-
ing athletes making merry on the
sacks but goes along and pitches just
little harder when danger impends.
Scratch Mcclure, once a Digger
but taken away by Lancaster, found
his old pals rather savage. They op-
ened up on him in the first inning
and got runner around with some
pretty smashing and then added an
other pair in the second. Mcclure
warded off damage for five chapters
but in the eighth Marion got another

Lancaster scored the first run in
