TO-DAY MAY BE TIE
ONLY DAY You HAVE

William Johnsto on, writing some
very sound advice in the June
American Magazine, says:
Good days and bad days exist
only 10 your own head The
weather has nothing to do with it
Each day is what you make it fo,
yourself. Bad weather is only ali
unfortunate opinion.
"Suppose it is raining pitchforks
You get word that your salary has
been doubled or that a forgotten
uncle has left you a million dollars
What do you care about the wealth
er then? Or suppose the person
you love is dying. Unexpectedly ?
turn for the better comes. The
doctor says your dear one will live
What if it is hotter than Tophet?
1t is good day, great day, a
happy day.
Its what you think and feel
about it that makes each day what
it is. You, within yourself, can
make each day, every day, a good
day. Put down in the note book
of your soul the poet Runeberg's
thought:
Each day is a life
"When you get up in the morn
ing throw back your shoulders,
take a deep breath. Meet the new
day like man. Say to yourself:
" Another day another life"
"For all We know it may be the
only day We'll ever have. Let's
make it the best day we can. Let's
strive to see that it is day worth
while. Let's move step forward
in our work. Let's do all the goot
we can. Let's get all the happi-
ness we can to-day.
Right now is the only time you
can control. Yesterday is a rec
ord. Tomorrow is secret. To
day is yours, is mine"

STERILIZATION
BILL PASSES IN
STATE SENATE

Salem, Ore, Feb. 13.-With just 16
votes, the number needed for pass
age, the Lewelling bill for steriliza-
tion of habitual criminals, moral de-
generates and perverts went to vic
tory in the senate
DR.. Owens Adair of Astoria, who
originated the bill and has lobbied
for it at succeeding sessions of the
legislature, was a witness to it's final
success, and she has been invited by
Governor West to be present in his
office when it is signed.
Senator Day, who first voted against
the bill, changed defeat to victory by
changing his vote at the end of the
roll call. While reconsideration may
be moved on the day after a bill has
passed, there is believed to be little
prospect of reconsideration in this
case, as three senators were absent and
one, or more of these are believed
to favor the measure.
The debate on the bill Vas short.
Farrell led off in its favor. Kellaher
said he had heard no good reasons
given for its passage, and Butler ex-
pressed the idea that the bill is un-
constitutional, because If the punish
ment is not cruel it is unusual.
Joseph supported the bill, and Wood
who has before opposed such legis-
lation, said he believed the present
bill does not have the defects Of its
predecessors. President Malarkey de-
clared against it, because, he said, it
doesn't do the things it is supposed to
do, and doesn't deal with the insane.

is Life is a funny proposition, after
ALL and when you come to think OF
it, it is a funny proposition. Take
the sheep business, for instance. Two
years ago sheep were high. Every
body imagined they could make their
fortune by going into sheep, and the
more people wanted to buy them the
higher the price got The conse-
quence was that so many people went
into the business, that the next year
the price was low and a lot of the
amateur sheepmen went broke. They
couldn't meet payments on their bor-
rowed capital, so they sold the sheep
for what they could get. The con-
sequence was that more sheep were
turned off as mutton and fewer sheep
were raised, so the price this year is
up again. Conditions in the sheep
business have changed so that the
price never will get down to the old
low price. Free grass and unlimited
range is thing of the past and sheep
can only be raised now on decided
land. There is only so much land
and they are getting more people all
the time, so the price of land is rails
ing until you can't afford to keep
sheep on decided land and raise feed
unless You can get pretty fair

haven't sold any of it. You don't
catch any of the oldtimers selling
land. They buy land all the time. l
presume 1 could get $50 or $50 an
acre for this land now, but none of
it is for sale. We oldtimers don't
have much use for these so-called
boosters, who come in and buy land
at SIS or 500 an acre and cut it up
into five and ten-acre chunks and
charge $4,000 or $4,000 an acre and
unload 1t on newcomers from the
east. 1t is too much like the old min
ing days when they used to sell salted
claims. OF course, the newcomers
kick at us, too. They say We old
timers are gradually buying out our
neighbors and that a big wheat crop
means that we put all the profit We
got out of our crop into buying more
land, and that in some sections of
eastern oregon there is less popula-
tion than there was 10 or Is years
ago, but the more land you have IL
You are wheat farming, the cheaper
you can produce your crop. We who
have been in the country for 40 or so
years don't much believe in these
boosting methods and the high value

to pay more taxes if land values in
