Portland, Or.-"We ought to make
it just as easy as possible for a man

That is the conservation policy of

of the interior, who is inspecting the
proposed reclamation enterprises OF
the Deschutes country.

Many Years Loss of Memory.

A Nevada case is reported where a
man wandered away FROM his wife and
three children For ten years he was
not heard from. Passing through the
state again something seemed to snap
in his head and he knew himself
again. He had gone to Texas, mar
ried and had another little family.
His wife had died only the week be-
fore his knowledge of his real self re-
tuned. He attributed his loss of MEM
ory to overwork while figuring on
complicated contracts.
