Salem.-With 100000 available, the
work OF making a detailed survey of
the resources of the Deschutes river
can be commenced just as soon as
John II. Lewis, state engineer, and the
chief OF the reclamation service agree
on the provisions of the contract be-
tween the state and the government
for the expenditure of this fund. At
present, the contract is being held up
because the state engineer wants to
have Its provisions broad enough to
cover other streams besides the Des-
chutes, and the chief of the reclama-

so az to confine the work to that one
river.
This fund of 100000 is made up by
an appropriation of $4,000 from the

Truest Folk Are Those Who
Stick to Old Friendships
One Likes to See Men and Women Capable of ar
affection that Lasts When Physical
Charms Fade.

\ And when that time comes, the tie that
is strong and lasting and royal never
shows a sign of weakening, because IT is
made up of things that do not wear out
the things that make for personality.
One may smile at the little maid who
loves her dolly, battered and worn to a
shadow of one-time glory; but, after all,
one should not smile. For she loves, not
the worn-out wreck that she sees, but
all that the dolly stands for. For in the
days when she rocked and sang that
"prettiest doll in the world to sleep,
! why, it just closed its eyes and softly
sang back again. And when she talked
to it, and dressed it over and over again,
it was sweetly responsive to all that she
said and all that she did.
So why shouldn't she go on loving II,
for it wasn't its red and white cheeks
that were dear, nor its pretty blue eyes,
nor its hair so charmingly curled-it was
just its little dollself. And that was left,
you know, when its splendor was all gone,
lost in the mishaps out on the heath.
Better Not Smile.
And one thinks she's better not smile
at all at the little maid and her abiding
love for her sweet little doll" rather
wish that the loyal little heart of her
may go on growing more loyal and true
in all this world of many true folk are
the ones who select their friends. and
those closer than friends, because Of the
self-under cover, and then go on finding
them lovable still when the physical self
has lost half, or more than half, of its
glory.
They are the ones who help form the
ties that outride the storm and stress of
time and last until the sure hand of death
cuts them asunder. For they are the
ones who look back of the lesser attrac-
tiOns to the things that stand for self,
and when the physical charms pass away
there is the self to go on attracting for
ever.
Yes, one likes to see the little maid
true to her dolly when its pretty cheeks
are only a memory, and one likes to see
grown men and women stand by when
there is nothing left but the half that
never dies.
And one believes that men and women
all over the world are glad and proud
indeed TO inspire that kind of affection.

Nv FRANCES sHAFFER.

: There is a bit of verse written by
Charles Kingsley and addressed to the
little folk he loved. 1t is called THE
Old Love" and in it he tells about "a
sweet little doll" that a small maid had
one time, the very prettiest doll in the
world Its cheeks were all red and white
and its hair was charmingly curled.
But that doll-she lost it on the heath
one day, and, though she cried for more
than a week, she could not find where it
lay.
3 She went back 10 play on the heath a
long while after, and there she found the
poor little doll, but, alas; She hardly
knew it. Everybody said it was horribly
! changed. with its pretty color all washed
away, its soft little arms trodden on by
the COWS, and the curl quite out of its
hair.
; But she looked at the wreck of her
sweet little doll" and for old time S
sake it was still to her the prettiest
doll in the world
Perhaps it is a bit foolish and means
nothing at all, but it always seems pro-
.phetic of something loyal and true in the
days to come when a little maid gives her
heart to a beautiful dream of dOll-love-
illness, and then goes on loving it just the
same when the soft pink cheeks, big blue
eyes, curls, and all, are lost forever in the
wear and tear of play.
For there are little maids like that, you
know. And one likes to think that as the
years speed by and as friends, and those
who are closer, come to take the place of
dolls they will be just as reluctant to
drop the old for the new, if the old are
really worth the loving.
Prettincss Soon Fades.
And there are grown-up maids like that,
we are glad to say, and they are scattered
all over the world, maids and men as
well.
If there were not-well, there would be
more trading of "old wives for new"
more changing about of husbands and
friends For the time is bound to come,
sooner or later, when mere pTettiness
fades away and when everything else
worth while goes with it, unless the tie
is more strongly Cemented than by beau
tful eyes and golden hair or by some
thing else that passes as quickly.

Glen Echo Park.

Starting on Labor Day the week fcl-
lowing will see free vaudeville added to
the attractions Of Glen Echo Park. As
the special feature of the bill the man.
agement announces the engagement of
Nils and Rosa Regnell in their high and
double fire. diving act
In their act the performer will use a
sixty-five foot tower and a shallow tank
containing four feet of water. As a
climax to their fancy and high dancing
stunts the pair takes the fire dive. -
With their clothes saturated with oil and
set afire they leap from the top of the
tower into the tank in which oil is fiercely
burning on top of the water.
Sunday afternoon and night there will
be the regular series of concerts by the
Soldiers Home Band.

OLD BOUNDARY ROW UP AGAIN.
Commissions from Virginia and
Maryland to Confer.

Two commissions. one from Maryland
and one from Virginia, will confer within
a short time for the purpose OF reaching
an agreement as to satisfactory bound
ary line between the two States along
the Potomac River. The commissions
were provided for by the State Legisla-
lures last year.
The boundary line controversy is as old
as the early settlement of Maryland, and
has continued from time to time
throughout the long span of years since
then. George Washington took an active
part in attempting to settle the contro-
versy, as did many other men of promi-
nence.
In 1877 an arbitration commission de-
cided that the dividing line should be
Iow-water mark on the southern shore.
This places the Potomac wholly in the
State of Maryland. And yet, according
to a compact drawn up in 1IS5, Maryland
is restrained from legislating in regard
to fishing rights in the Potomac, except
by the consent of Virginia.
AS a result of this condition. the Poto-
mac has become a waterway where per-
sons may fish or dredge for oysters in
season or out of season practically with
out liability.

COPPER TINTS THE
RAGE In PARIS
Az of the Couturiers Who Have
Shown Their Gowns Have
Featured Them.

It has taken over six months for the
copper tints to become successful, but
since their introduction at the early
spring openings they have made great
strides and at the present moment are
the rage in Paris All OF the couturiers
who have shown their gowns have fea-
tured~the They vary from the light
copper to Chaudiere and mOrdore, which
is a warm copper tone with a deep gold
cast. The copper shade is trying unless
one has a good complexion, but it may
be combined with harmonizing tones and
made possible for almost every woman.
Another poDular tone is the new Bakst
green, named for the Russisn scenic
artist whose success with the Russian
ballet has been phenomenal. Bakst used
lots of green in the costumes for his
ballet, and likewise in the gowns which
he designed for Nine. Paquin. and II is
fitting tribute to name the popular
green shade in his honor. Kitty Gordon
has also been honored in the same way
one of the rich. deep greens, a green as
limpid as creme de menthe. bears her
name. The greens with a yellowish tinge
are quite as popular as the more intense
shades, the olive being particularly good.
While the yellow shades are not as
chic as during the summer. they are con-
sidered smart, especially the tilleul
which resembles an unripe lemon more
than any other color. The canary and
the sulphur tones are also fashionable,
particularly for trimming, and where
merely a dash of color is required. For
instance. there is a very stunning new
vesting in 4 bright yellow tone with
conventional flowers in red which has
been ordered by the knowing couturiers
Before leaving yellow, the soft beige and
biscuit shades should be mentioned, as
they are very well liked in the light
weight cloths and in silks, such as char
meuse and satin.
New Blue Series.
Blue has lost none of its prestige. and
some authorities say that the new blue
series should be given first place rather
than the copper tints. OF the blues. the
new blue a shade deeper than peacock
blue is a great favorite, and also the
corbeau. The soft blues on the Natter
and Dutch order are very desirable. and
the very dark blue shares the demand
for SOmber Colorings.
The red shades vary widely. There is
a very bright red, an almost barbaric
red, that is very well liked by the coutu-
riers, who go in for vivid colOrings, but
the majority of reds blend into the dregs
of wine tints and others.
