moters-and how socn after the
last spike is driven do we appear
before the Commission?
Do we, as a matter Of fact,
make the same effort to maintain
the good will and friendship Of
the road, and to work to its inter
ests after we get it, that we do
before?
If not, why not? Is there any
good reason why we should not?
Is there really any sane reason
why we should be harsher and
more antagonistic to our railroads
than to any Of our other business
enterprises and Institutions?
Do those who are clamoring for
cars to load, or loads to be placed,
and for the prompt movement of
freight, realize that for every one
OF them who are unloading
and releasing cars speedily, the
lrecords show there are two who
are causing unnecessary delay
and blocking yards and tracks and
congesting traffic?
DO those who are Indifferent in
these matters know that the rail-
roads are not the Only-ori indeed,
the principal suffers by the un-
necessary detention of cars?
A better feeling, a little friendlier
spirit, an earnest and general
effort to cooperate with the
roads, will do much to relieve
many of the present troubles.
Is it too optimistic to hope that
in the near future there will be
as great a change in the feeling
of the general public toward the
roads as there has been on the
part of the roads toward the pub
lie, in the recent past? Or, if it
be argued that the change upon
the part of the roads is due to the
Commissions entirely, will it be
expecting too much to trust that
such eminently fair, practical and
sensible action upon the part of
the various Commissions, will
eventually result in a more liberal
spirit and a better feeling upon
the part of the public?
We, of Greenwood and of the
entire Delta, are cresting the
waves of prosperity, and while,
metaphorically, it may sound a
little inconsistent, we want all the
roads we have, and all we can
get, and it behooves us to extend
our heartiest friendship and CO.
operation in every fair and honor
able manner.
Anything more than this is not
to be tolerated. Anything less is
indefensible-especially from the
viewpoint of sound business sense
and reason.

The organization of the Mimbres
Growers and Warehouse Association
with man like John Humid at its
head. means much 60 our farmers.
II means just exactly what we wan,
to make things move and bring cash
into the country for farm develop
ment.
In an interview with the GRAPHIC,
Mr.. Humid expressed the belief that
the organization of a warehouse
company in correction with a grow
er's association would do much to
encourage farmers to raise
marketable crops of, every kind,
knowing that they can obtain the
top price on any product.
The superiority of Mimbres valley
products is we'll established and the
demand is sure to exceed the supply.
Our alfalfa, grown under pure wa
ter irrigation, brings a particularly
attractive price and will be more
eagerly sought for than other grown
in the Southwest, and it is fast be-
coming known that the flavor of
every product of our soil is superior
to the flavor of other sections of the
country, irrigated, or otherwise.
This is due to the altitude and per-
petual sunshine.

meeting Saturday afternoon and
il was the opinion Of all present that
a brick building 80 y 100 feet in

DIR. o. o. Osborne is manifestly
dee-lighted over the success Of his
splendid well three miles east of
town. Il was the first well dug by
McMath Bros, who came from a
California irrigated district where
the "stove-pipe" system of non-per-
forated pipe was used with great
success. 1t is quite natural, there
fore, that both operators and own
er he deeply interested in the out
come. The boys completed the well
some time ago, hut the pumping
plant has only just been installed.
The well differs from all other
wells in the valley. in that it has no
screened casing. A ten.inch pipe
commences at the bottom of the 30
foot pit and extends to 65 feet,
shutting off the first stratum of wa
ter and going well into the second
stratum. which has ten feet of grav-
el. The pipe is here reduced to six
inches and put down to the third
stratum, l25 feet. This smaller
pipe extends into the larger one
above about three feet. and the
pump, which is of the horizontal
centrifugal type, is screwed into the
pipe, making an air-tight well, none
of the pipe having any perforation
whatever.
The pipe arrangement precludes
the possibility of sand settling in the
lower pipe and the upper pipe nat
urally clears itself.

STAYTON
TO AMEND
CHARTER

Samuel H. Heltzel, of Stayton, has
been in the city for several days look
ing after business connected with the
proposed amendments to the city
charter of that thriving little city. A
special election is to be called there
soon to adopt or reject the amend
ments proposed by the citizens, the
legal part of which has been attended
to by Mr.. Heltzel. If the proposed
amendments carry it will be possible
to make street and other improve
ments and have the cost thereof made
lien against the abutting and ad-
iacent property, the same as is provid-
ed by the Salem charter, under what
Is known as the Bancroft act.
Should the election carry it is the
intention of the city council to begin
proceedings at once to improve the
streets and during the coming spring
and summer there will be considerable
street work and other improvements
undertaken in that progressive city.

A MUCH NEEDED COMMISSION.

Among the bills to go into the Oregon legislature one for
commission to save steps,
The farmer and the farmers wife waste great many steps
in going about from place to place
The abOring man, it is estimated by commission sharp,
wastes about onefourth of his steps.
The steps wasted much dynamic force lost and all
added together amount to millions
Millions of horse wasted and lost by this process
and commission conservation of steps is wanted
Such commission with appropriation of ten thousand
So could save the people all this lost force
1t is believed that school children economze the
steps now wasted that could be put into athletics
The loss Of energy Of taxpayers going the house and
hlEtling around to raise taxes could be mnimized
e primary object Of all commissions is to protect the tax
payer, and this grand idea is one of them.
Let the Marion county delegation get behind this idea and
taxes will come down whole lot.
