IRRIGATION EXTENDS
RAPIDLY IN STATE
Engineer Swigart Well Pleased
With Development of Teton
and Okanogan Projects

Supervising Engineer Swigart. who
has just returned from a trip into the
Okanogan and reports himself to be
greatly pleased with the conditions as
he found them, under the new irri-
cation project there. Part of that
project went under irrigation a year
ago and the balance, the present year.
Mr.. Swigart reports that already
over so per cent of the area availa BILE
is under irrigation and that over 40
per cent of the total is set to fruit
trees. This, Mr. Swigart thinks, Is a
splendid showing for so short time
Speaking of the Teton, Mr.. Swi-
CART announced himself to be we'll
pleased with that also. the fact that
1900 acres have been placed under
cultivation of the 10000 acres avail
able, being a splendid proportion in
the time that has elapsed since the
land reached the stage of cultivation.

The Grange and Education

The agricultural education of the
farmer in the past has been sadly
neglected, and the results obtained
by the Grange in this direction are
among its grandest achievements.
The Department of Agriculture, Ex-
pertinent Stations, Mechanical and
Agricultural Colleges bear testlm ony
of this fact. In many localities con-
solidated schools have been estab-
lished. wherein elementary agricul-
ture and domestic science are taught
thus fitting the boy and girl of the
farm for their chosen profession, CIV
ing them technical knowledge which
today is as essential for the farmer
as for any other calling. The public
tered and improved by the efforts OF
the Grange, while to the membership
within the Grange a knowledge and
discipline has been impaired that has
gained for the farmer a prominence
that was unknown before.
Men who had little school advan-
tages have been fitted through the
Grange for the press, for the plat
form, for the caucus, for the assem-
bly,, and for statesmen 1t has been
truly said that the Grange is the
practical high school for the farmer
and his family as it assists all and
gives education, strength and Gull
ture to those who were not able to
secure them elsewhere.-The Grange.

A NURSERY ROMANCE

Once a fve-cent paper dolly met a
five-cent paper man,
And there and then the romance of a
tragic age began.
The fve-cent paper dolly was a mold
en- a la mode,
The fve-cent paper dandy would his
tale of love unload.
He told her of cottage with a vine
beside the door,
Where they could live so happy and
forget that they were poor.
The dolly was romantic, as all paper
dollies are
Who first behold the glory of loves
pale and lovely star.
SO this one shyly simpered and her
apron strings did twist;
The hve-cent paper dandy did like
others, leaned and kist.
This completed all the story, and, as
paper dollies should.
She smiled through tears in answer.
that was all a dolly could.
So they met a paper preacher, and
with gentleness and glee
They sought a paper church that
stood beneath paper tree.
He married them on paper, in the
paper dolly way.
And so they sought the cottage, where
they lived for many a day.
But this is not the romance, for 1t
CHANGED that after while
The five-cent paper dolly yearned TO
dress in greater style.
This five-cent paper dolly, to be
truthful as one can,
Was asked once to his auto by ten
cent paper man.
And after that no longer would her
five-cent husband do,
Nor yet the hats and dresses that she
was accustomed to.
And so i'm time. quite human, with
her heart OH riches bent,
She took paper Pullman and to
paper Reno went.
There is no more, no moral, none Is
needed for today:
The world is full of marriages Of pa
per made that way.

PROTECTING FROM STINGS

Many beekeepers feel themselves
immune from harmful effects, though
bees may sting them, while others
may have no fear of the bees. and
both classes laugh at the precautions
taken by the more timid, but when
one considers the discomfort, If not
absolute danger sometimes following
bee sting, we think discretion is the
better part OF valor."
In this we are supported by the
views of beekeeper who says that Il
pays in the long run to be well armored
for extensive work in the apiary, es-
pecially if a great deal is to be ac-
complished. We have often had argu-
ments presented to us to show that II
is not so necessary to be protected alb
solutely by a good veil and by gloves
While all this advice may work very
nicely with a few colonies of very gen
tie bees, we have not been able for
many years to work in our own apiar-
les in that manner. While we did
not believe in wearing even u veil
during the first eight years of our
Bookkeeping career. bearing many a
painful sting unnecessarily, we do not
now work in the apiary without
gloves. The wells we have adopted
are much more subtantial than the
flimsy makeshifts with which we were
satisfied at first. These are now made
of wire cloth, very much like the
Alexander veil, but so that they can
be worn with a hat--a thing that we
must do here in the south. With
such a veil. gloves on our hands. and
everything else bee-tight. we have
stood our ground when the other
fellow" was retreating from a sudden
onslaught, OF course, we realize that
our bees are much more vicious than
ordinary. This ia generally the case
where they are handled in hurried
fashion. In this respect we believe
they are very much like the Cogge-
shall kind of which we used to read
so much, and we venture the assertion
that where bees are handled by light
ming operators to any extent, they arc
not the gentle kind that can be
handled without wells and gloves
1t has been argued that slower ma.
nipulations should be practiced in
preference to the rapid lightning
methods of some of our most extern
sive beekeepers; but we have found
after trying this, that unless we get a
more lightning-like move on us we
were not able to accomplish as much
And in our mind this is the only bust
ness way of wholesale beekeeping-a
system whereby the maximum
amount of work can be done in the
shortest length of time, by which
every cut-and- dried shortcut and la
Dor saving method can be put into
play with good results.

Mild

To a certain club in Chicago be-
longed an expert bridge player named
Jones, who had the reputation of be-
ing pretty severe with, less skillful
partners. A member named Brown,
with only smattering of bridge, was
very anxious to play as Jones part
ner for the chance of learning the
fine points of the game. He was
warned. but would not be deferred,
and finally succeeded in arranging it.
Later, Brown met some friends i'm
the billiard room, and one of them
asked him how he enjoyed the game.
First rate replied Brown with
some pride.
"Well, but wasn't Jones disagreed
BILE to you in anyway" pursued the
friend.

nice all the way through"
"And he didn't say anything to

make a misdeal. He said What s
the matter? Can't you even deal?' "

AT LAST

The world is wide and many folk,
Forsooth ,inhabit there;
And some are clad in costly stuff
And some, alas, are bare.
And some do think they're wondrous
wise
And strut in fulsome PRIDE
And some 60 forth with hearts elate,
Who will not be denied.
And some are good and some are bad,
Some great and others small;
But let US not forget one fact
THERE human after all.
And when they're lived the briefest
span,
-~ As sure as fate, they die
And all their little schemes and
n "a dreams
Ia graves forgotten lie.

1t is suggested that memorial be
erected in the city of Washington to
women of the war. That suggestion
will appeal forcibly to patriotic SEN
timent If the suggestion were real
lied in fact it would be only National
recognition of heroism and self-sac-
rifice that do not appear in the writ
ten annals. which despite that, were
important and compelling factors in
the great struggle. A life lost in the
field meant a son, a brother, a faith
err. husband or sweetheart sur
rendered for the cause. While beside
this offering of affection there were
the facts of service and of loyalty
that helped to give inspiration to the
fighting forces. Women of the wal
made the best American character.
istics in that conflict the more illus
trious.
But the hope obtains that the def
milton of this substantive term will
not be sectional. 1t now is time that
soldiers who fought under either flag
should be remembered only as Amer
lean soldiers; that heroism, whether
dressed in blue or gray. should be
cherished in National memory as a
common heritage; and that women
who served and sacrificed at home,
whether above or below the line,
shall be regarded as sisters who be-
lieved in the righteousness of their
cause and We're willing to give it the
best they had.
AS the memorial is suggested, it is
clear enough that only the women of
the North are considered But if
we are to have the memorial, there
never was occasion more fit for the
manifestation of broader patriotism
than in the opportunity we will have
of defeating a splendid monument to
heroic sisters in sorrow North and
Generous chivalry is not the least
among American traits. From the
South there must come honor for
the heroic women of the North; from
the North no less honor for the wo-
men who inspired Southern valor.
Upon the widespread, silent heroism
and sacrifice of each should rest the
final arch over the "bloody chasm -

On the poor and the rich, and the

On the christening robe and the

On human hearts hopes and human

On bodies of beasts, and on natures

ENOUGH WATER IN DUMPING
Yakilna Men Return from Trip Into

J. H. Hyson and F.. Il Fairbanks
have returned to the city from a trip
of ten days duration into the hills
above the Dumping lake country dur
Ing which they saw a number OF birds
-@rousa. etc, and deer. They were
on the Bump4ng river below the dam
and Mr.. Hyson reports that there are
lots of fish in the Dumping river and
that the water in the river Is very
low. There is. however. according to
his point of view, sufficient run of
water to give the fish all the water
and air they need, as several small
streams come into the main river be-
low the dam. They heard Of one man
who had caught several hundred
pounds OF fish, which he had cured
for winter use, but were not them
selves provided with a fishing outfit
and saw no way of picking the fish
from the stream as 1t is said some
have done. This phase of the fishing
