There are good reasons for hope or
the part of those who would like to
see irrigation

Irrigation. ton. Secretary
Lane takes the
view that even should the state water
board rule adversely to the Indians in
the case now before the board that
action will not stand when the matter
is taken before the federal courts. II
will be remembered that the federal
courts in similar cases in Montana and
in Texas upheld the Indian rights and
the supreme court of the United
States sustained the decision, ruling
that non use should not serve to jeo-
pardize a water right when the land
in question is held in the name of the
government as is still true with all
the unpatented allotted land upon the
reservation.
If the secretary's view is right, and
incidentally it is the view of all law
yers who are not retained to uphold
the other side of the case, then there
is no reason why the Umatilla reser-
walton should not some day be irri-
gated. 1t is a question of procedure
more than anything else.
There are two courses that appear
open. The easier and simpler course
looks to the irrigation OF the low
lands along the river, some 5000
acres. The other plan would be
larger in scope anj would look to the
reclamation of a large portion Of the
reservation through use of stored or
flood waters.
II those on lands bordering the river
wish to get water for the irrigation OF
their allotments the way seems clear
for them. If they will ask for their
rights in the matter it will be remark
able IL they are not granted
However the benefits would be much
greater If the project could be under
taken upon a larger scale and the
flood waters stored. In that way a
much larger acreage would be water.

would be the greater and any possible

BY THE SCISSORS
SOME SUMMERS OF THE PAST

(Atlantic Monthly
For those of us who are forced to
spend most of our summers in cities
there are a few consoling thoughts.
One is that the severest heat does not
prompt men to crime, as the social
statisticians have found that the Sc
verest cold does. Another is that the
worst temperature we are called upon
to face falls long way short of the
endurance limit of the human body
and brain, as proved by French ex-
periments at the 250-degree level. An
other comes from the discovery
through the newspapers, with every
prolonged hot wave. that We are
breaking the record" in some line
or other.
This ought to be stimulus to our
pride; and If we wish to carry further
the beneficial influence of mental sug-
gestion. all we need to do is to COM
pare what is happening to us with
what has happened to various other
peoples at various other times. For
instance, when the encyclopedias tell
us that in A. D. 627 the heat in
France and Germany dried the water
sources and a multitude of people
died of thirst; that in the battle of
Bella in 1869, more soldiers were killed
by the sun than by the weapons of
the foe; that in 1903 three great rivers
of western Europe went dry; and
that in Odessa, in 1889, the noon tenn
perature reached 144 degrees and a
sunshade was necessary at 5 in the
morning. we are bound to conclude
that we are not so badly off after all.

power supply would be improved, not
reduced.
This is a question upon which peo-
pie here should get together. 1t is
a matter where the interests of all,
redmen and white, milling men and
others are Identical if the thing can
only be seen in its true light, 1t is
time all should lay aside prejuiices
and suspicious and work in unison on
a proposition that has possibilities of
great benefit for everybody.

The public properly sympathizes

LABOR COSTS AND THE TARIFF.

Chairman Underwood, of the Ways

stating at recent hearing that
"labor cost. even when considerable,
is one of the smallest considerations
in solving the tariff problem" Ameri-
can wages. when expressed in terms
Of hours. days or weeks, are compare
lively high, but when they are set
forth according to articles produced
or services performed. they do not
anpesr in such startling contrast with
rates Of remuneration in other coun-
tries. The economies Of production
on a large scale and the reduction or
labor costs by the invention and in
stalIation Of remarkable mechanical
appliances are the unique features of
American industry. Very small taTiH
duties would serve to Offset such diff
ferences in labor costs between this
country and other industrial nations
If the present tariff bounties were al
