REMINDER OF HAPPY
DAY TWO YEARS AGO

There are great many people IN
Grants Pass who will doubtless re-
member two years ago Wednesday
water flowed down SIKH street frcm
the 200-foot contour irrigation ditch.
On that occasion Grants Pass was get
ting over three-day Fourth Of July
jollification and the tuning in
OF the water at the upper end of
north Sixth street was the crowning
event of the wonderfully successful
celebration. The irrigation company
had worked hard with a determina-
ton to bring down the water on that
day If such a thing were possible,
but the undertaking was OF huge Ill
mensions and it was finally decided it
was unsafe to make the promise or
put the event on the program. so 1t
came as surprise to everybody ex-
cept the persons Immediately concern
ed.
There was q procession formed W
Superintendent Garner at the north
end of the street ami this consisted
of all kinds of dltching machinery
drawn by powerful aorses aud one OF
the wagons carried huse bulletin
board upon which was written the
story of irrigation. At the right mo-
ment the band marched up the street
and headed the procession and the
directors of the company, in an auto
mobile, led the way into the business
portion of the town. The water kept
even with the procession In the west
gutter Of Sixth street. When 1t had
reached the Coe corner, a vast con-
course of people set up cheer that
made everything ring and when 1t
came to the White House grocery, q
lot Of young as well as a number of
middle aged men, picked up some
prominent citizens and rolled them
into the water. The good clothes Of
the victims did not restrain the mer-
ry revelers. The water found an
opening which had been prepared for
it, under the railroad tracks and went
on down toward the bridge and all
the way 1t was cheered as II 1t were
a thing of life, which, in fact, 1t was.
The procession finally turned west on
X street to Fifth and down Fifth to
Front and back TO the north side. 1t
is question If there was ever an oc-
casion when the people Of the city
of Grants Pass were as happy over an
event or as united in securing the
success of a public achievement.
That was in the day when there
was unity of purpose all along the
line and every one worked In the
good cause and those who had money
to spare offered it for irrigation as
freely as II 1t had been water itself
Since that time, these people have
too often INDUCED in personalities
and questioned the Intentions OF theil
neighbors, but this was only for {
season, while they were discussing
the repairs to be made on the dam

PROBLEMS IN
POULYRYDOM
ARE DISCUSSED

CORVALLIS, July 5.-"The three
problems in poultry raising that trou-
BILE the farmers of Oregon more than
any Others, says Professor James
Dryden, of the Oregon Agricultural
college poultry department, ARE
first, gettingI the eggs in winter;
second, lice and mites, and third.
raising the chicks.
Last week we gave the farmers
opinions as to whether there was
profit or not in poultry keeping. The
answers to this question, this week
are designed to show why there Is
not more profit In the business. Out
of 333 answers we received the fol-
lowing replies: Sixty-two said the
problem was, how to get eggs in win
ter; 60 lice and mites. Sc, raising
the chickens; "a, hawks; six, coyotes;
81, other vermin; four, rains or wet
weather; 20, feeding; nine, hatch
ing; 5S, miscellaneous difficulties.
ITO make the hen lay In wintcr is
apparently the real problem; and yet
its solution depends upon the solu-
tion Of other problems. 1t is not
merely question of caring for or
making the hens lay. The problem
goes back to the making Of the hen
II the hen were made right there
would be little trouble in making
her lay. How to make The hen lay
in winter resolves itself largely into
a question Of making the hen.
II am inclined to think that the
Sc who said that the raising of the
chicks is the hardest problem, came
nearer hitting the nail on the head.
To get profitable egg yield undel
any conditions, the flock Of layers
must be frequently renewed. The OLD
hen doesn't pay. For commercial
purposes II seldom pays TO keep hel
more than two years. This meani
that in few years the farmer hal
raised several generations OF fowls
and any mistake In the breeding o.
raising is very soon evident. To b.
successful q poultry raiser must b.
able to maintain offspring with thu
same vigor and vitality as the par
ent; otherwise, there would soon b.
no eggs In winter because OF lack o
constitutional ylgor In the stock.
But, II Is not all In the raising
There Is probably more in the breed

some hens don't lay, because the!

an hour before the theater was opened
only to be crowded out i'm the rush
No entertainment presented in this

Prochaska is most interesting talker

Owing to the fact that one of the

street. entirely outside the theater
blew out at just the wrong time. the
pictures could not be used for the sec

DEMOCRATIC OPPORTUNITY.

The election is not yet two months

months of extraordinary demoraliza-

ability to gather Itself together for

! again and again been the despair of

reports of renewed cooperation be

well be regarded by democrats who are
| thinking seriously of the future of poll
tics as marking the end of that halycon
and vociferous time which the land
slide of November inaugurated Even
from the first. none but persons of in
durable boyishness of spirits could
have had any idea that the victory
meant more than great opportunity
an opportunity that had come through
combination of circumstances. and
that might be thrown away with ex-
tremely little difficulty. Now that one
of the chief Of those circumstances
seems in fair way of being profound
ly modified. the warning becomes ten
fold palmer Whatever else may be
on the carpet i'm 1912 to help the Demo
Gratis, the chance of their having a
Roosevelt issue to play as one of their
trump cards has now become extremely
slight CMF'W UP UP UPU
Sight
But in truth the position of the par
ty is very much up i'm the air. Nobody
knows what kind of stand it is likely to
make in 1912, nor who are to be the
leading influences in it. II is in the
next few months that the situation will
be taking on its character. What that
character will he depends. above all
things else. on the use the democrats
will make of their newly acquired pow
er i'm the important northern states i'm
which they won their remarkable vic
tories. In Woodrow Wilson, for exam
pie il has suddenly acquired that most
valuable of possessions for a party, a
party leader who strikes the whole
country as a remarkable figure. Ac-
cording to the development of events

he NAV become a chief asset of the par
ty in the nation or may be allowed to
go to waste.
To forecast at this time the nature of
the presidential campaign of 1912 would
be absurd. But there is one thing that
