Ing to show and illustrate what Mr..
Roosevelt means by good and bad
trusts. He means to introduce ben.
evolent despotism in which he means
to select the trusts which he thinks
ought to continue and smash those

one OF these pleasant arrangements

tfary power and is most useful in

maintenance of power that is hardly

Il attempted to follow the policies
OF Mr. Mr., Roosevelt as understood
them and one of these was the CON
tinued prosecution of the trusts which
have violated the law. He did not
prosecute the steel trust and he did
not prosecute the Harvester trust,

Perkins now why he did not prose

Mr.. Perkins is a strong supporter
of Mr.. Roosevelt now and is con-

Taft defended the Standard Oil and
tobacco decisions as effective, then
continued:

virtue Is so intense that it is sufficient
to purify anyone when he becomes q

Mills g. Sheldon had an expert horti-
culturist from Hood River prune their
young orchard last week.
The foundation has been started for
the new Catholic church to be erected
on the hill side near the Guy Crow
home. The building is to be 30X60.
Major Creek settlers are complaining
Of cattle running at large. to the det-
riment of young trees Of orchardists.
One man had Is acres of trees badly
damaged. This section Of the country
has ceased to be range country and
owners of cattle should be at pains to
see that they do not damage others.
About 80 guests were royalty enter
tained at the ranch home of Gordon
Forbes and Arthur Sherwood last Sat
urday evening, when their new and
commodiOus home was thrown open to
the neighboring populace fer house
warming.
Frank Mann and family, who re-
turned few days ago from California
where they spent the winter, are set.

modern house ON one of the prettiest
sizes in the valley. Laurie & Mann
were a mercantile firm in New York
City and fter retiring came west to
make their homes.
The Veteran editor, Hon Thos. Har-
Ian, has founded new paper at Ro-
chester, IhUrst0n county, which will
issue its first number April l6, 1912
He has proved "a success al founding
newspaper plants. In 1883 he founded

neer; in 1904, the White Salmon Enter

r. G Nelson who was associated
with Herbert Simpson in the sale of
White Salmon lands, has bought the
Smalley homestead of a quarter section
near the Underwood place in the Snow
den district and viii plat it ard retail
/ it in small tracts. This is said to be a
good piece of land. The deal was
made by r. Field. Mr.. Nelson was
accompanied by his wife, having mar
ried in January. They have just re-
turned from tour of eastern points
and in Canada.
Nat Wilkin. Of Camas Valley, was in
White Salmon and Bingen the first of
the week Mr.. WiIkin can pretty
nearly lay claim to being one of the
very first settlers, coming here in 1874
He took a homestead up the valley
at what is now the Husum district and
could he have seen the development
which has since taken place he would
not have sold. From there he went
farther up the country and bought
eighty acres of land in Camas valley.
He has some of the best acreage i'm the
district. MIR. Wilkin is one of several
from Switzerland who came to this
section in its early days The roads
up the country for several years were
merely trails and little could be hauled
by the oxen. There was no road
around Bald mountain as at present,
settlers having to follow down along
the canyon towards the Thornton place
and then climb or descend Chimney
hill.
Site No 3 is now being prospected
by the Northwestern for its proposed
dam on the White Salmon. First the
Narrows was selected and a lot Of
money spent trying to locate bedrock
on the east side of the river Not
finding ideal conditions they moved up
to the old bridge back of the Cameron
farm and have done considerable sluic-
ing, besides drilling the bed of the
river for its formation. In the past
few days they have moved up about
1900 feet to THE Jaws" a rock can
yon measuring about 40 feet at its
base. 1t is directly back Of the Adams
tract and where Little Buck creek
tumbles into the river. At this point
only 50-fo0t dam can be built, says
Engineer Walsh, while at The Narrows
they contemplated a 100 foot dam.
Mr.. Walsh says AL the work is purely
exploratory, the Company owning too
much property to confne itself to Just
one site. Anyone who will turn in at
the school house and follow up the
river along a road from The N rrows
to the Jaw" will fud it very inter
estlug.

TERMS

padded cells, daffy because of too much
thought given to electrical terms is
interesting to Hood River people, who
had the pleasant tasks last year of
trying to figure out why and how much
they were paying for electric lights.
The Telegram says:
Sing song of amperes,
A socket full of watts:
-Four and twenty drop-hghts
Give man the dots
When the juice is burning
Your pocket feels the iults;
All you need to find the rate
Is, live on ohms and volts.
Dad was some musician in his day,
and when he got up the other morning
and took couple of turns around the
padded cell he burst into the foregoing
song, playing an accompaniment of
several bars on the steel-upholstery of
the cell. He told the attendant few
minuets later he would have finished

THE LOAN OF HONOR.

Those interesting public prints, the Daily Con-
sular Reports recently contained illuminating con-
trbution the subject of the innate honesty of
kind.
1t appears that number of French phanthro-
pists decided to establish society called The Loan
of Honor. Its purpose to lend money in small
amounts to clerks, operatives, and others in the
humber range of life, taking interest whatever
and asking security except the borrowers solemn
word of honor that he would repay the loan within
given length of time The loans were to range from
six to sixty dollars and during the fiscal year which
has just closed 1874 people were accommodated.
Unfortunately we are not told what was the entire
amount of the loans but obviously it could not have
been less than $780, and if take something like
the average between six and sixty, the whole amount
must have been more than $4,000.
At the end of the year when they stopped to fig
up the returns they found that all the loans had
been paid back-or were being paid back-except
$780,
1t is true that the borrowers had to answer a Ger.
tain number of questions which threw strong light
on their character, and it is not claimed that
every applicant accommodated. But even so, the
results reflect the highest credit upon the fundamental
honesty Of human nature and give US higher opn-
ion of the world in general.

THE FLORIDA LAND INQUIRY.

1t is a striking and serious matter for a Con-
gresham to charge that great quas-public enter
prise, conducted under the patronage Of his home
State, is being used as cover to a nationwide
fraud.
That is just about what Congressman Frank
Clark Of Florida has charged concerning the Ever
glade drainage and land sales projects.
Florida has gone into partnership with the SELL
ing agencies to reclaim vast area Of the historic
old swamp. Remarkable claims have been made
concerning the value and productivity of the lands
The conflict of expert scientific, and official testimony
together with efforts to color and suppress public
documents has terminated scandal Fairness alike
to officials, land buyers, and the State demands that
this be cleared up, and, accordingly, House COM
mittee has undertaken that task
Many hundreds Of people in and about Wash
ington have bought Evergade lands Tens Of thous-
ands throughout the country have done the same.
Millions Of dollars are involved.
Just one thing seems reasonably certain, in all
the Of conflicting testimony and that is that the
people selling the lands getting mighty high
prices in proportion to what they paid This does not
necessarily imply fraud, but it does warrant circum
spection on the part of buyers and justes the in
quiry now being started
The Washington Times initiation, months ago,
opened up this whole subject. Its persistent demand
for daylight and frankness has brought forth good
deal of illumination already, and has forced the in
vestgaton that certain to give every investor
chance to judge accurately whether he has been
given square deal.

SCIENTIFIC ACCURACY
OF THE DELUGE STORY

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
In questioning the scientific accuracy OF
the story of the deluge, J. B. 8. desires to
learn how q pint Of water can be- made TO
fill a quart bowl to overlooking. With
apology to ]. B. s. for so doing, I will
amplify his query and ask some solon
in these matters to reply through the
Mail Eeg. AS science announces that
the waters of the earth can cover the
land to a depth of two miles, how, in
Client quantity to be six miles in depth
over all the earth, which is required to
submerge all land to its mountain
heights? Furthermore, leaving out the
ocean-how can the laws Of gravity per-
nit water on land to be Just deep
enough in a country at its mountain
tops and shores to drown all animal
life? Does science support Moses in all
Of his imagery? 1t seems that the
eGte, sane. and satisfactory solution of
The Deluge" is that Moses has en-
named Noah 90. who was fortunate in
getting his family and a few cattle,
pigs, chickens, etc, aboard q houseboat
during an exceptionally heavy rain
storm and river overflow-like happens
in our land frequently-and after float
ing around for four, not forty, days he
succeeded in making a landing: to
which may be added that this incident
probably occurred in the Valley of the
River. Jordan. and the Dead Sea, which
Is below the level of the surrounding
country. Undoubtedly Moses was an
expert in diluting his preparations as
the story of the destruction of Pharaoh
and his army further demonstrates.

THE DICKENS CENTENARY.

No event of purely literary character, in re-
cent years, has attracted so much attention and
elected such widespread interest as the celebration
Of the centenary of the birth of Charles Dickens,
which is taking place throughout the civilized world
today.
The reason for this is not hard to seek. He
was the first English novelist to break away from
the spell of romanticism and to devote himself to
the deneaton of the life and customs of the people
of the humber sort and to bring home to the world
at large better understanding of chow the other
half lives" That many of his characters were ex-
aggerated almost to the point of carcature is unde-
niable. Therein, a matter of fact lay much of
their humor. But even sketched on a broad canvas,
they were types which awakened instant recognition
and quickened sympathy.
And what a panorama it was which passed be-
fore the eye Of the master In the vanguard I'm.
doubtedly marches the immortal Pickwick attended
by faithful Sam Weller and Mr. Wrinkle and all the
worthless Of the club whose posthumous papers have
delighted more than two generations Opinions
will differ to those next in the order of
sion and yet each Of them stands out clear and dis
tinct, invested with a special power to charm.
The novels in which Dickens attacked the edu.
cational system, imprisonment for debt, and the
scores of minor abuses which hourished we'll along
into the early reign of Victoria purpose novels,
to be sure, but how they differed from the studio;
