The Improving Water Situation

Whatever apprehension there may have been last spring and summer regarding the irrigating water situation passed away some weeks ago when a statement by President Orme of the Water Users Association made public, showing that less had been used this year than during the pre- vious year; that 15,OOO had been rri- aated that crops fields were the better for the more economical of water. and that, altogether, the farmers in much better shape than they had appeared be on the corresponding date of last year.
 We have some figures to show that the situation is still improving. Yesterday morning, Oc- tober ,, the elevation of the water in the Roose- Welt dam was 1852 feet the contents, 165,274 acre feet, with the water still rising.
 On the morning of October ,, 1913, the stage of water in the dam 116.50 the contents 1SOO76 feet, but the water was falling and it steadily declined rapidly that by October 23 it had fallen stage of 112.21 feet the contents 159, 1S3 feet It still going down, that ten days later, on october 30, there 11O feet of elevation.
 The Republican predicted weeks ago that within few weeks the apparent position of the water would be better than it was a year ago. That prediction is already verified It is cer- tain that there will be water in the dam by the middle of this october than there was the mid dle of last October
 But the real position of the water users has been vastly strengthened. Not only has the visible situation improved but the water users them selves have improved by their better knowledge of the of water. If not another drop of water should into the dam this year, there would be plenty of water, with ideas using it to better advantage than did before. But water is still running into the dam, and the ind- cations that many thousands of acre feet will run into it before heavy drafts will have be made the deposit.

Strange Bed-fe!IoWs

We do know whether it has to the public that the late republican reorganization in this state furnishes another illustration the saying that politics makes strange bed-felows. The chairman of the state organization of the protestants against the Tucson steal in 1912 when the will of large majority of the republicans of Arizona was Overthrown. How great that majority, We have means of knowing for the men who consummated that steal had been powerful enough to suangle popular expression in some of the counties. But wherever there expression, It was overwhelmingly against the the bosses afterward took. That course of the decid- ing causes of the catastrophe the republican national convention which precpitated the organza tion of the progressive party
 Judge Kibbey, who have said protested against that crime at Tucson, estranged from the men who committed it, and he doubt be- leves now, just earnestly as he did then, that it was crime which had a aton-wde disastrous effect Yet, he finds himself associated with the men who committed it. and they have given sign of They have brought forth no fruits for repentance"
 In November, 1912, the rank and file of the republican party in this state indicated their re- sentiment against the who put the Tucson deal through. We think that they will show next month that their resentment has not abated.
 If there had been some sweeping change in the control of the republican party; if managers of the stripe of Judge I<bbey had been put in, that might be taken as an indication that the party had genuinely reformed. But it must be evident that despite the position leadership into which Judge Kibbey has been placed. machine bosses who directed the Tucson affair have seen to that their control has been impaired.

EMPLOYMENT BUREAU
 |S RE-ESTAbL|SHED

In the short space of sixteen months,
 the McCausland Business Exchange,
 under the efficient management of Miss L. F. McCausland, has developed from d one party business to the point where three persons are regularly em- ployed. and eight or ten others given frequent employment for a week or two at a time. In an interview Miss Me Causland said, T have been trying to get away from the employment busi- ness, for the past few months, but find | it impossible owing to the efficiency of the advertising placed with the Repub- lican and other papers. Many nave learned to depend on the reliable and efficient help from this office and con tinue to call here, so in self defence l will re-instate the employment depart ment, not only for trained office help, but for all classes of employees as we'll" Miss McCauSland has also put in a real estate department to take care of
 the numerous calls that come for rooms, houses and small homes. A ! man will be in charge of the real es- tate end of the business as he'publicity business and office work requires all of the time of Miss McCausland. We are going to change the name of the business, for the reason that not one person in hundred can remember my name, and a smaller number than that pronounce it correctly, then too a short name is better business. It is very probable that we will incorporate li!- ! tie later with a capital of about s10,- G00," said Miss McCausland. 'Busi-
 ness is good in our line, it is merely question of going after it, and we be- l leve this to be true of most every line. There is no reason for the Phoenix business man to get cold feet, now is

A Tactical Error

It is really none of our business what the pro- hibitionists and the anti-prohbitionists do ther their respective in the present wet and dry campaign, but cannot refrain from mpartialy pointing out the mistakes which think both parties make from time to time.
 Some time called attention to what believed mistake in official communica- tion to this paper from the dry side But think that the most serious tactical has been committed by the vets in exhibition on the billboards of a poster, in which former President Taft declares that prohibition is foolishness" The former president is noted for his tactlessness His public life has been distinguished for his utter lack of tact which became serious that his advisers dreaded his every public appearance lest he should put his foot into it again. But he tactless the who have displayed this poster.
 The of the former president is not one conjure with anywhere in this country and, least of all, in Arizona, where the memory of his stub- born opposition the state constitution is still fresh. It is remembered here that he would have denied statehood to Arizona, and that his unwilling signature finally forced by political exigencies among reactonary democrats and by the progressive spirit revolt in his own party which was rapidly rising against his administration
 On those who determinedly against prohibition, the words of Mir Taft will of course, have effect. But there thousands of voters who do not much way the other-men and whose votes will be swayed by the slightest currents
 To many Arzonians, whose resentment against the former president is stronger than their tions on the subject of the liquor traffic. the quo- tation from MT. Taft will be strong current to drive them to position directly opposite to that he has taken. It may be strong enough, indeed to repel many voters who have been inclined to doubt the propriety of prohibition
 The think of it, the prised that the prohbitionists did think call the former president to the stand for the repellng effect his presence would have upon Arizona jury.

vON BERNSTORFF TALKS
 PEACE WITH BRYAN
German Ambassador Confers Then
 Leaves With Bundle of Treaties
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1spArcHl

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH
 WASHINGTON, oct 5.-Count Von Bernstorff the German ambassadorsat the state department where he con- ferred for half an hour with Secretary Bryan, aroused much speculation in diplomatic circles here tonight as to the possibility that further efforts have been set in motion by the ad- ministration indirectly at least, to bring about peace in Europe.
 It is known the diplomat made a special trip from New York in response to a telegraphic request sent by Bryan. He left the secretary's room burdened with copies of the peace commission treaties negotiated by Bryan with var ious countries and is understood to have been asked to forward these promptly to Berlin. The treaties are typical of all the peace convention upon which Bryan has been at work al though they differ somewhat in de- tail
 There is every reason to believe the conference was confined entirely to discussion of these various treaties and that the European war was mentioned only in passing, if at all. It is re- garded here as significant, however that Bryan should undertake negotia- tions looking to the inclusion of Ger many among the nations with whom the United States made peace conven- tions at this time, when the country is engaged in war.
 Such treaty would commit the Ger man government to recognition of the propriety and reasonableness of dealing with international issues by peaceful means It is pointed out that the sug- gestion is not lacking tonight that the underlying motive for the administra- tion's effort might be a desire to smooth the way at this moment for conference that must. in the end, term mate the war in Europe

The convention voted to exclude civil ians. but invited Luis Cabrera, Carran- zas agent to go with the delegates. He was accorded the right to speak, but not to vote.

GREATER ACTIVITY

Nicholson and Kelly Urge
Quakers to Make Sacrifice
to Promote Principals in
Actual Life.

.JTpon what shall the emphasis be
laid by the Society of Friends the
YEAR," is the subject of symposium
appearing in the December issue of
The American Friend, published by S.
Edgar Nicholson. Two Of the articles
are by Timothy Nicholson and Presi-
dent Robert L. Kelly Of Earlham col
lege.
Writing on Friends and Civic Pub
lie Service" Mr.. Nicholson says: Il
have long felt, and occasionally ex-
pressed conviction that the Friends in
This country have fallen short of their
duty and privilege and sadly failed to
exercise that influence for good in
their respective communities, which
as Christian citizens they should have
done.
I'VE have uttered and published en-
phatic protests against destructive
evils and civic unrighteousness. and
proclaimed our ideals OF righteous
principles, but we have not made the
necessary personal sacrifice Of active
participation in municipal and nation
al affairs to render these protests ef-
ficent"

lsh Friends for surpass those in Am
erica in public service, and hold many

Kelly Wants Members.
President Kelly in his article sug-
eests that emphasis should be lald
on Increased membership
He says: Il should say that we
should unite in long pull and
strong pull for increased membership,
and this because of the three follow
ing conditions: First, we need con-
scientious task that will appeal to ev-
erv member of the church. Second,
we should cultivate the friendship of
those about us who are without church
connection and invite them to join our
church fellowship. Third, we have
more work outlined that we can care
for with our small membership. Let

visited Mr.. Coad's place the other day,
and remarked to The Observer after
wards that he had never before seen
a finer lot of Strawberries than Mr..
Coad's Magoons.

new kind of artichoke, and it will
be exhibited at the State Fair this
fall. The artichoke referred to is for
table use, and the "good part" is

Among Polk County
Farmers and NtOckmeu

1t was that beautiful June day
Wednesday, the tenth, at W. o. Nor
rows of Independence, that you miss
ed a good time with the members of
lthe Polk County Jersey Breeders
association. They were there from
Perrydale, Luckiamute Sievers-all
points of the county-with their fam
lies and dinner baskets. Among the
visitors outside of the county were
Ed Cary. president of the Oregon
Jersey Cattle Club; J. M. Dickson,
secretary of the Linn County Jersey
Breeders association; L. E. Warner,
a Jersey breeder of Douglas county,
and Prof. R. R. Graves of the Oregon
Agricultural College, dairy depart
ment. The day was crowded with
interesting things and the auto races
scheduled to appear on the program
were overlooked owing to the popular
Jerseys attracting so much attention.
After most of the nicnickers had
gathered. Mr.. Morrow passed around
printed lists of his cows with ages
and records of each, and supplement
ed these with explanations of breed
ing, at the same time pointing out
the various individuals under discus
sion. Some time was spent in study
ing the different animals.
Just preceding the dinner hour the
officers and directors of the associa-
tion held a business meeting in the
dairy house beneath the cool water
tank. This location must have been
chosen to avoid heated discussion al
though if we were to ask one of them
for information we might be told to
the contrary. The dinner was spread
on the rustic tables provided in the
grove on the banks of the La Creole
from which La Creole Farm derives
its name. Here in this beautiful
place all were permitted to sit and
feast on Jersey products and view the
animals themselves grazing on the
grassy paddock just over the fence.
We had Jersey butter spread upon
bread enriched with Jersey milk. and
Jersey meat sandwich. Luscious
Jersey cream made the Strawberries
more edible, and the Jersey cream
cake and pies were the last partaken

in the evening. In fact Jersey prod

was too rich for our health.
Following the dinner spread we
were shown the "young stuff" and
the owner received many compli-
ments on the condition an tidiness
of his stock. A class of four aged
cows was selected and under the sup
pervision of Prof. Graves, a vigorous
Judging contest was carried on. Each
man was requested to give his plac-
ings of the animals and reasons.
Judging from the amount of discus
sion Messrs. Dickson and Lynn must
have been awarded grade of 997
per cent by their worthy school mas
ter. Next class of heifers in milk
were judged and many questions
were raised as to the true meaning
of type, production, characteristics,
etc.
After cooling ourselves down to
normal temperature again with Jer-
sey ice cream business meeting was
held and several things of vital in
terest to the association were consid-
cred. Interesting addresses were
given by J. NJ. Dickson, Prof. Gentle,
Prof. Graves, Hon. C. L. Hawley and
F. E. Lynn. After the adjournment
each hustled to his conveyance and
home on "high gear" for milking
time was near.

tess and pleasant memories of day
well and ioyously spent we look for
ward to many such meetings that

mum and teach us to become better
