LITTLE DROPS OF
WATER WORK WONDERS

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. 16.-When John
Dewitt, poet laureat of the Inland
Empire of the Pacific northwest.
wrote Little drops of water, mingled
with the sand, make mighty differ
ence in the price of land" or words
to that effect, he gave conclusive tes-
timony that he had some experience
in the cost of orchard lands before
and after irrigation. Land is worth
what it will produce, and experts de-
clare that land will never be cheaper
than it is today.
The National Irrigation act is re-
garded by most observers of condi-
tions in the arid and semi-arid states
as the most beneficial statute yet
placed upon the federal books. Far
mers and orchardists in the western
country hail it as the second eman-
cipation proclamation, as it has freed
thousands from drudgery in the
thronged cities and made them in
dependent, prosperous and happy il
comfortable homes on fertile lands ir
the open country.

PLEADS FOR
PACIFIC FLEET
(By Representative william I
Humphrey of Washington.)

humphrey or WaSnlnBton.)
Washington, D. c.. Feb. 16.AThe
question that is constantly puzzling
the American people Is why our bat
tleship fleet is continually kept on
the Atlantic ocean. The Atlantic
ocean as compared with the Pacific
is strongly fortified. There is not the
slightest reason to expect difficulty
on our eastern shore, and even il 1t
should come, it would be practically
impossible for an enemy to effect a
landing. The centers of population
are near our eastern coast. Men
could easily and quickly be gotten to
the Atlantic for the purpose Of de-
fense. The Pacific is practically de-
fenseless. In case of hostilities an
army could not be sent to the Pacific
in many months sufficient to protect
1t from an invading army of any size
We have on the farther side of that
ocean our island possessions, the
| Philippines. All the indications OF
the present are that If unhappily
war should come again, it would be
on the Pacific.
The reasons for this belief are sc
well understood that they need no
be discussed. The people believe
that battleships should be kept where
they will probably be needed in cas-
they are ever needed at all. But tn,
navy department persistently insist
that our war vessels must be KEEP
as far away from the place Of prob
able conflict as possible.

GOOD ROADS PRESIDENT
SAYS WHAT HE THINKS
Passage of Legislation Desired Would
Have Brought Results in Umatilla
County-Lttle Prospect Now for
Much Improvement

Pendleton, Feb. 16.-(Editor East
Oregonian.)-As president of the
County Good Roads association I feel
very much disappointed with the re-
suit of the good roads legislation. The
two bills as passed by the house on
the 18th, which II passed by the SEN
ate, will become a law are in my es-
timation a blank as far as road max
ing is concerned. 1 fail to see what
use we have for the state highway
commission without the state aid bill,
which l think should have passed. II
the state aid bill appropriating $685.
600 had passed we would have had
some road building in Umatilla
county AS ii is now, with the bond
ing bill 1 venture to say that any at
tempt to bond Umatilla county for
road building will be voted down.
Why we have the opposition to build
ing better roads from those that are
benefited I can not understand. II
some of these people that oppose the
good roads movement would go down
to Multnomah county and have look
at some of the macadamized roads
outside of Portland and see the LOADS
that are hauled over these roads, l
saw while down last week, hauled sy
two horse teams 1-2 cords of wood
at a load and that was no load for
the team. l am a firm believer in
better roads in Umatilla county than
now exists, but how are we to get
them.
For the Knockers.
Now | shall have something to say
in regard to what Mr.. 5. r. Thompson
and I found after we arrived at Sa-
lem last week We were delegated
to go down and do what We could to
try to have the state aid bnl and the
commission bill passed as ammendec
by the senate We found our delega-
ton in the house favorable to th'
bills but found lobby of granger!
and farmers union delegates ther'
that seemed to be against any gooc
read legislation. Why those peopl
could remain there 40 days to kill an.
good roads bill 1 don't understand
but they must be paid for stayin
there. That is my opinion.

1t always contended that in case
of war our battleships could be Ia
ken around to the Pacific and, there
fore, it is nat absolutely necessary
that they be kept on that ocean for
the protection of our western coast,
but IL war were to be declared today,
our battleship squadron could not be
sent to the Pacific. For this state
ment 1 have in writing the high au-
thority Of the secretary of the navy
himself In letter sent to me under
date of September Is, 1908, in ans
wer to one that I had written him,
complaining against the employment
of foreign ships to carry our coal for
the fleet when 1t made its trip
around the world. In that letter, he
says:
1.-THE navy department has also to
inform you that it would have been
physical impossibility for the fleet
to have made the voyage to the Pa
cific had not foreign bottoms been
employed"
Those on the Pacific who believe
that the battleship squadron will be
kept on that ocean after the canal
| is completed are dreaming dreams
| that will never be fulfilled, unless
| they bring about change in the pol
Icy of the department, for the COM
pletion of the canal would only be
used as an additional argument to
keep the fleet on the Atlantic.
/ Financial and Social Reasons.

nancia and social. The navy is KEEP
on the Atlantic in order that the

Navy Now Useless.

The policy of the department is to
keep the navy located in times of

useless in time of war.
We have today on the Atlantic
every one of our battleships and in
active commission for service four
first class cruisers, ten submarine
boats and twelve torpedo boat de-
stroyers. On the Pacific we have in
active commission two marines. nine
torpedo boat destroyers, SIX armored

not a battleship, not a torpedo boat

coastline from the Golden Gate to the
Aleutian islands is protected by one
lone cruiser, the Colorado, of 1850
tons, which is now in Puget Sound.

PITlFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA

"a few days after birth we noticed
an inflamed spot on our baby's hip
which soon began spreading until
baby was completely covered even in
his eyes, ears and scalp. For eight
weeks he was ~bandaged from head to
foot. He could not have a stitch Of
clothing ON. Our regular physician
pronounced it chronic eczema. He Ia
a very able physician and ranks with
the best in this locality, nevertheless,
the disease began spreading until
baby was completely covered. He
was losing flesh SO rapidly that we be-
came alarmed and decided to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment.
Not until l commenced using CutI-
cura Soap and Ointment could we tell
what he looked like, as we dared not
wash him, and I had been putting n
application after another on him. On
removing the scale from his head the
hair came off, and left him entirely
bald, but since we have been using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has
as much hair as ever. Four weeks
after we began to use the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment he was entirely
cured. l don't believe anyone could
have eczema worse than Jul baby.
Before we used the Cuticura Rem
edies we could hardly look at him, he
was such a pitiful sight. He would
fuss until 1 would treat him, they
semed to relieve him so much. Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment stand by
themselves and the result they quick
" and surely bring is their own rec
ommendation." (Signed) Mrs. T. B.
Rosser. Mill Hall, Pa, Feb. 20, 1911.
Although Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment are sold by druggists and deal
ers everywhere, a sample of each,
with 92-page book, will be mailed free
on application to "Cuticura," Dept

CARING FOR TUBERCULOSIS
Thirty-Nine State and IA Local sana-
toria Provided, but These Are
Only a Beginning.

In spite of the fact that state .sana-
toria and hospitals for tuberculosis
have been established in 81 states, and
ia municipal or county hospitals in
26 states, vastly o public provision
Is needed to stamp out consumption,
says the National Association for the
study and Prevention of tuberculosis.
Nearly every state east of the Missis-
sippi river has provided a state sana-
forum, and west Of the Mississippi
river, state sanatoria have been es-
tablished in Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri,
Arkansas, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana
and Oregon. There are 38 sanatoria
provided by these states, Massachu-
sets having four. Connecticut and
Pennsylvania three and Texas two. In
Guiding special pavilions and aims
houses, there are ia municipal or
county hospitals for the care of tuber-
culous patients.
Apart from these institutions, how
ever, and a few special pavilions at
prisons, hospitals for the insane, and
some other public institutions, a grand
total of hardly 200, the institutional
care Of the consumptive is left to pri-
vate philanthropy.
