WHAT LANE PROMISED.
(oregon Journal }

AOlcSOn JouIudi J
There ought to be a fair square
understanding between the Umatilla
reclamation farmers and the secre-
tary of the interior. In order that
there may be no misunderstanding il
is necessary for The Journal to cor
rect certain misleading statements BY
the Oregonian respecting Secretary
Lanes promises at the Pendleton
meeting.
The Oregonian report indicates that
the whole Umatilla extension is to be
taken up. The only promise was that
the first unit of the $4,000 acres
would be taken care of out of the
100000 appropriation already made
This unit will be fed by a diversion
dam direct from the Umatilla river.
The reservoir dam will not be neces-
sary until the remaining 10000 acres
of the project is financed.
The Oregonian says the project of
20O0 acres is to be increased to 10. 900
acres. The first unit has always been
10000 acres.
The Oregonian talks about a So
600 extension. The total now contem-
plated is not $4,000 but 10000 acres
The Oregonian says Secretary Lane
promised TO take care of the settlers
on deferred payments. What he said
was that he would ask congress to ex-
tend their time.
The Oregonian quotes Secretary
Lane as saying experts would be sent
to examine the water supply so that
each settler would get his share What
the secretary said was that he would
assign an expert to determine what
the sandy ground from which the wa
ter drains too fast would grow best,
and how the heavy loss of water and
damage by seepage could be prevent
ed.
The Oregonian says the secretary
promised to ask congress for a bond
issue of $30,OO0.O 900 for reclamation.
What he said was that the govern
ment would have to spend $4,000. 900
TO complete projects already COM
menced. that the revenues for the next
| four years would be s35, 200, 900, and
that the remainder could not be done
Iniess congress authorized a bond is
sue. No amount of bonds was men,

Sweeter far than Arion's shell
Touched to soothe the savage sea!
Who will answer this to me,
When I ask IL any deem
That the poets song and dream
Have not reaches unexplored-
Deeps nsounded-heights unsoared
Nay! To every race and tongue
There are lyrics yet unsung,

So. say, as I have said:
There are lyrics yet unsung-

CAPITALIZED BALL PLAYERS.

That the market for baseball play
ers is still on the upgrade clearly
appears in the reported purpose of
the Washington teams manager to
offer 100000 to the Detroit club for
Tyrus Cobb, This is the largest fig
ure at which a ball player has ever
been capitalized.
Is he worth it? He is still under
thirty years of age in the full tide OF
great fame and drawing power for
the grandstands and bleachers. But
To be worth it he must have a draw
ing power for the Washington club
equal each year TO his salary now
said to be $12.5OO, and a sum addi-
tional which for a short series of
years will sink this capitalized value
OF 500. 900.
He is like bond bought at a heavy
premium which must yield to the buy.
er good market rate of interest and
enough more TO amortize the premium
before maturity Or he is like a
slave whose capital value depends up
on the time during which his present
earning power may be expected to
last If the great Tyrus can for ten
years be worth to the Washington
club his salary of s12.5OO and $4,000
additional plus the yearly interest on
the unpaid debt. he will not be a los
ing investment to that club.
But in any case, when the great
American game develops such finan-
cial magnitudes and speculative pos
sibilities as this. some way may have
to be found for wider distribution
of the burden and risk by incorporat-
ing individual ball players and hav-
ing their stock and bonds listed for
trading on the New York stock ex-
change.-New York World.

a part of his campaign fund is not
made in sincerity. If Sulzer used
some of that money or if his wife did
1t was wrong. But IT was an indis-
cretion more than anything else. II
he is TO be tried for such an offence
he should have fair trial. He
should not be sandbagged by Muir
phys henchmen in that legislature.
Those who like TO see a public Of
ficial strive to do his duty will SYM
pathize with Sulzer. Those who IA
vor government by bosses, Doodle and
bribery may well sneer at him and
gloat over Tammany's advantage in
the fight at this time.

am told the children form the habit
OF eating dirt because of craving
which comes from lack of wholesome
food. / think that Is true. Those who
have this habit are called dirt-eaters.
It's bad, very bad. for child to be
iirt-eater. I think that children
and grown people. too, for that matter
read dirt for the same reason, lack of
wholesome reading. Dirt-eaters-
dirt-readers.
What are you providing for your
children to read? Are you giving
them wholesome mental food, or are
YOU leaving them to their own devices ?
Wholesome food or dirt, which is it?
1; takes too long to raise man to
have him turn out waste product, or
worse, destroying agent. What are
you giving your child TO read during
the long time that he is growing up
in the home? This is a serious ques-
tion and must be answered now.
II is not a question of reading or no
reading, though no reading is bad
enough. 1t is a question of good
reading or bad reading.
You must provide wholesome
reading or you must have your child
and his reading in the chapter of ac-
cidents. We all know too well what
that means-it means reading dirt"
Every word of what the chancellor
says is true The great pity is that the
truth of it is not fully realized. The
dairyman is careful that his cattle
shall have pure water; the stock
raiser is careful that his colts shall
have wholesome pasturage. Even the
man who raises pigs prefers for them
to have sound corn. The mind of the
child is vastly more important than
the stomach of COW, colt or pig. This
is putting it pretty strongly, but it is
matter on which there is no room
for mild expression.

with clean or an unselfish thought.
1t is entirely creditable to Lawson
that he would help Sulzer in his fight.
The one and only charge against Sui

to Murphy. On that charge he is be-
ing impeached. He is accused of try

1t is amusing to note the zeal and
over secretary
The True Status Lanes visit to the
OF The Case. UmatiIla reserva-
ton, but if that pa
per knew the facts in the case it
would not feel such joy and would
not be so scurrilous.
Secretary Lane gave no decision on
the local case while here and was not
asked to DO so. He stated to Major
Swartzlander he was not well informed
on the matter and wished to take no
stand as yet. In other conversations
he expressed the belief that even
should the state courts rule against
the Indians that action would not
stand IL the matter should be taken
10 the federal courts. He pointed out
that on some reservations where the
land has been irrigated the Indians
corded them. But he did not say that
on that account there would be no ir-
rigation here.
The status Of the reservation case is
exactly what it was before the secre-
tary's visit 1t is a case wherein the
milling company is monopolizing the
river at the expense of the Indians
and at the expense Of this whole COM
munity Furthermore the mill COM
pany is injuring itself along with
others. II the reservation could be
irrigated the summer flow OF the river
would be increased and the mills
would profit thereby. Expert testi-
mony to this effect was presented
during the hearing at the court house
last spring. That testimony was to
the effect the irrigation OF the reser-
walton would benefit the projects in
the west end Of the county and not
hurt them.
The irrigation Of the Umatilla res
ervation is cause that should inter-
est every loyal resident Of this city
and county. It is not a move to in
jure the Byers company or anyone
else for the thing can be made TO
benefit the mill company. The com
pany is merely overselfish in its fears
and is acting the dog in the manger.
Those who wish to do so may stand
by that company in its misguided
course. The East Oregonian stands
for justice to the Indians and for the
development OF their reservation,
which fortunately means prosperity
for all.
The other day Chancellor Barrow
delivered an address at Sharon. Ca.
on Literature in the
DO Children Home" says an editor

could have understood him. and at
the same time so full of wisdom that

In the address Chancellor Barrow

retary be accused later OF violating
alleged pledges.

When the Sleeper Woke.

There is prominent lawyer in New
York who finds an after-dinner mar
an absolute necessity. He cannot keer
awake and the habit of drifting off for
a few moments, no matter where noi
how, brings him frequent embarra ss
ments. Recently his wife saw him
doze while talking to a distinguished
judge who was their dinner guest, but
she was clever and quick enough te
divert the visitors attention to her
self, so that the lapse passed unno
ticed at the time Unfortunately, just
as the host regained a stupid half
consciousness the guest rose to de
part. The lawyer stepped forward
with his most courteous greeting.
"How do you do, Judge?" he in
quired, smothering yawn. "Why,
never saw you looking better. I hope
you're going to stay to dinner with
us?"

ONLY SMOKING TWENTY NOW
Scheme of Slave to Weed to Keep
Doctor From Cutting OFF
His Cigars.

Joseph Jefferson, Jr., repeats a yarn
that his father used to tell concerning
a friend of the elder Jefferson who
vas an inveterate smoker.
The man was getting along in years
and found himself afflicted with some
silment which caused him great deal
of anxiety.
"Why don't you consult special
lst?" Jefferson asked him.
After thinking it over he decided
he would. Several days later Jefferson
met him and inquired as to his health,
asking if he had seen a doctor.
Eyes, went to see one," said the
old man.
"And what did he say?"
well, you see, I'm great smoker
he answered, "and | knew he would
ask me the first thing how much
smoked and tell me to go little slow
l smoke about 20 cigars day, and
when he asked me how many | con
sumed | told him on an average of 40

number in half / am now smoking

FIFTY YEARS IN PRISONS
Old Enolishman Who Had Spent
Three-Fourths of His Life Be.
hind the Bars.

An extraordinary spectacle was pre-
sented in the dock at the London ses-
sions, the other day-a gray haired,
bearded man, Sc years of age, who had
spent three parts of his life-half g.
century-in prison for thefts which to-
day would call forth comparatively
trifing sentence. He was laborer,
named George Lawrence, and was
found guilty of being an habitual
criminal. He also pleaded guilty to
having stolen coat and other articles
from an Office in Chelsea. The Judge,
commenting on some Of the mans sen
tences-fve years for stealing coats
and three terms of ten years for steal
ing forks, a box, and an overcoat re-
spectively-said that for any one of
those offenses he would nowadays
probably only receive three months
i'm prisonment. It was an echo Of the
brutal system of years ago. tIn all
have served nearly 80 years in
prison." said the old convict "and I
don't suppose the things I stole were
worth $40 altogether. / have never
had chance in my life" The Judge
at first passed sentence of three years.
penal servitude for the theft and five
years preventive detention, saying it
was the minimum the law allowed in
such case, but later he decided that
the offense was one in which he could,
having regard to the past treatment of
he prisoner, pass a sentence of u
months hard labor, thus avoiding the
sentence of preventive detention.
When he heard the altered sentence,
the old man, bringing his hand UP to a
military salute, exclaimed, in tones of
gratitude: II will endeavor to make it
my very last, sir"

ADVICE FOR MEN TRAVELLERS
TWO Should Not Share Same Room In
Foreign Lands as They Can
Here.

eff you boys 60 abroad this sum.
mer," said one broker to two others,
don't for goodness sake, share the
same room, as you do when travelling
over here. Foreigners don't go in for
that sort Of thing.
"Jack and I shared the same room
last year in London. We never no.
ticed that the help was smiling at us
till one morning when the chamber
maid brought in Jacks shoes with the
hot water. had forgotten to put my
own shoes out, and the maid said to
us, with a mischievous smile:
"'Do you wear the same shoes, too,
gentlemen?'
"Yous see, she thought it as absurd
for us to occupy the same room as it
would have been for us to wear the
same shoes.
"And it is absurd-come to think of
lt--for two men to occupy the same
room. 1t robs them of their freedom.
They must go to sleep simultaneously,
They must get up simultaneously.
They'd be much happier in adjoin-
ing rooms. And they'd escape tons Of
ridicule.
"For this habit of two men sharing
room is exclusively American, and
abroad, when two Americans demand
a double room for themselves, smile
of contemptuous amusement always
fits over the face of the hotel clerk.
"That smile is hard for a free-born
American to stand"
