A PLEASANT VISIT.

Chas, G. Starks of Berlin, who was
in attendance at the convention of
the Wisconsin League of Municipali-
ties in this city last week, has a
write-up of the same in his paper
Journal-of his home city, of which
he is editor and publisher, and also a
truthful report of the late flood at
this place. Among other excellent
things he publishes about this city
he has the following:
Wausau is fine town. There are
Corinthian column electric lights all
over the business portion of the town.
The decorations for this occasion are
hundreds of good sized flags stuck
tastefully into these light posts.
Wausau has street cars and beats
Oshkosh for metropolitan appearance.

Wausau was a long way of, and we

THE FLOOD AT MERRILL
That City Sustains Heavy Losses Last
Wednesday--Ex of Damages
Yet Unknown.

Heavy losses were sustained at Mer-
rill during the recent flood. The rain
fall recorded for that city on Tuesday
was 1l.26 inches, the most severe
downpour ever recorded at any point
in this valley, but fortunately this
terrific fall of rain did not extend
very far north of that city, the fall
at Tomahawk being comparatively
light.
AS result of this heavy rainfall
the river at Merrill rose beyond all
previous high water marks. A large
section of the Prairie river dam was
carried out, The released flood carry
ing with it thousands of cords of
pulpwood. The old Scott planning mill
near the Main river and in proximity
to the electric light power house was
washed away, as was also a corner of
the boiler room of the power house of
the Lindauer pulp mill, miles of track
were torn up; mill yards overlooked
and lumber and logs carried down
stream. IT, basement of the Starge
public library was flooded, also that of
the court house, as well as many
homes. The water mains burst, leav-
ing the city without fire protection
and the electric light power plant was
flooded and the city left in darkness.
All communication by telegraph and
rail was cut off for the time being.
As result of the flood nearly all
plants in Merrill were closed down for
several days, but are now resuming
operations.

A FRANK CANDIDATE.

There are many things about the
candidacy of Jerry Rusk to commend
him to the voters. In his race for
the republican nomination for con-
gress Mr.. Rusk is not relying upon the
support of politicians. They are
largely against him because he is a
staunch Roosevelt man and support
er of the Oregon system. Few poll
ticians like Roosevelt and few of them
care for the Oregon system regard
less of pretenses upon this score. So
they do not favor Jerry Rusk. In the
campaign now on Rusk is going di-
rectly to the people with frank and
open fight. He tells them plainly
where he stands and what he thinks,
He is making an aggressive effort to
win and his very aggressiveness
should commend him to those VINO
want to see eastern oregon well rep
resented in congress.

PLEASURES OF A PROXY

1t may have been observed lately
that college presidents are not ex-
empt from the annoyances of this
earthly existence. says a New York
letter to the Cincinnati -@Times- Star.
Recent occurrences have led a good
many people here to re-read with es-
pecial interest the speech delivered
by DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler pres
ident of the Columbian university, on
the occasion of the installation OF
Chancellor Brown of New York uni
versity. He told DR.. Browne that the
post of college president is really a
pleasant one.
you will live on a diet of profes-
sors," said he. "You will likely eat
professor of sociology for breakfast
and if your wife is wise she will have
man in literature for dinner. 1t is
really admirable and nutritious diet
1t is really admirable and nutri-
tious diet. Also, within a year YOU
will meet or hear from one-half OF
the wise men and all the lunatics of
the community. Then, if you are as
well equipped for this post as 1 be-
lieve you are, you will speedily be-
come a liar. All college presidents
are liars ex-officio.
Il remember that some years ago
when my dear friend DR.. Garfield
became chancellor of the University
of Nebraska, he was called a liar by
a local newspaper within 80 days
Garfield and President Eliot of Har-
ward and 1 were walking together on
the campus one Sunday afternoon
Well, Canfield,' said Eliot, 4 see
that you are a liar Yes said Can
field. I am And he added. 4 hope
DR.. Elliott, that they have often, called
you liar?' oh, yes, said DIR. Ell
lot, worse than that-much worse;
they have often proved it. &"

1t is commonplace for teachers to
prescribe "the best books" of course,
but Mr.. Bates insists that they should
do more than this, and he is of the
opinion that lit is of no use to forbid
book" Sympathetic direction of
reading, he holds, requires reading of
the books in question, comment on
them so as to point out merits and
demerits, and guidance upward and
onward through knowledge thus ac-
qUired That is not light task, but
its fulfillment should bring satisfac-
ton to the conscientious teacher or
parent.

FINISH THE DEAL.

The East Oregonian does not wish
to be boastful nor to pat itself upon
the back unduly but this paper is
proud of a suggestion which it made
to upper river farmers some weeks
ago. 1t was a suggestion to the eff
feet that those who wanted to get
water that the government had COR
rallied for. the West Extension should
proceed to file on such water as they
desired. Many of the farmers on
Birch and Mckay creeks proceeded
to do so after a further investigation
had been made in their behalf.
If this paper understands the situ-
alton Alright these men should be in
line to secure water in the event the
government does not use it all for the
extension. Evidently the government
is not going to use all the water. SO
there should be considerable for the
upper river men-if they will only
keep busy long enough to get it.
But in order to perfect his title to
water a farmer must put the water
to beneficial use. A filing on water
is little more than an option upon
portion of the stream and that op-
ton must lapse unless the water is
utilized.
