Five million young men Of the
"Uncivilized" class are dead in the
war, though the highly-ciVilized
group Of highbrows who started it
have managed things so that they
haven't gotten a scratch on their
prominent. noses. The crown prince
of Germany has been MANNED ever
so often, lost arms, legs and eyes,
lost his sense, ETC., according to the
newspapers. It's all bunk. The
crown prince is healthy, wealthy and
wise.
Civilization is to blame for the
war, that's true, and much so be-
cause it has allowed brutal money
power to grow over its head. If civ
ilizatiOn don't put brake on NAM

waged between riches and poverty.

from Northern Siberia to be mus

THE HIGH WATER

The water which is already high
and rising every day with the dan
ger line, reached in many places,
with many local rains, make
the people living in the low Sec
ton fear that they will be trou-
bled by the rising water. The wa
ter is already getting into some
fields, and as the water remained
high all last year with three or
four rises during the year, the
planters in those sections subject
to overhows do not seem to know
what to expect with the present on
dltion of the rivers that are now
pouring upon our low sections.

fered a great deal with all kinds of
farm work. 1t delays cane plant

Boom in Hop Trade.

A buying movement Of unusually
large proportions has struck the Pacific
Coast hop market. In the three states
trading has become extremely active
and prices are on a firmer basis than
any time this year. A large part Of
the buying appears to be for export
account. There are also indications Of
urgent short covering. That some of
the purchases represent new business
with Eastern brewers is also certain.
Hop men are at loss to explain the
sudden boom in trade. It may be
partly in consequence of the clearing
off of pooled hops from the market,
but 1t is more than likely that the de-
mand for association hops 10 an effect
rather than cause of the furry. A
place abroad for large quantity of
American hops has evidently been
found. Whether the stocking up is in
anticipation of small foreign crop or
is to avoid the import duty that Eng
land is likely to impose is not clear.
At any rate, the buying has become
urgent and supplies in the hands Of
Coast growers are sharply reduced.
Oregon holdings in first hands, outside
the association, are'now estimated at
10, 500 bales.

Will Drain $1,000 Acres in
Fertile Long Tom District

Eugene-A meeting Of business men
and landowners has launched plans for
the drainage of bewteen 10000 and
900 acres in the Long Tom district
at an estimated expense Of $3.50, 900.
About 20, 900 acres of this land is In
Lane county, the rest being in Linn
and Benton counties.
The commercial club at recent
meeting pledged its support TO the
project and will, it has been an
nounced, give $1,000 toward getting
the work under way, provided the ma
jority of the landowners vote to create
drainage district as authorized by
the Oregon law, within which assess
ments may be levied. The district will
be authorized to issue bonds.
This project has been proposed a
number of times by individuals, but
the action of the club, cooperating
with landowners, is the first organized
movement to accomplish the drainage
of this land, which is almost worthless
because it is covered with water q
great part of the time, but which
would be among the most valuable
farm land in the state If the water
was eliminated.

State Joins Fight on Federal
Control OF Vacant Public Lands

Salem-with other Western states.
Oregon viii join with Utah in the bat
tie to determine whether the Federal
government has exclusive control over
vacant public lands in the Western
states. N
Believing that the case now on ap-
peal from Utah TO the United States
Supreme court, in which the Beaver
River Power company is enjoined from
operating q hydro-electric plant on
lands in the Federal forest reserve, is
of vital interest to Oregon, Governor
Withycombe has requested Attorney
General Brown to appear in Washing
ton, d. c., as friend Of the court,
and give oregon's attitude in the ques-
tion Of government control Of water
power resources on Federal lands.
Utah was the first TO intervene, and
since then Idaho, Colorado and num-
ber of other Western states have de-
cided to be represented.
The question involved in the case,
according to officials here, 10 whethe,

preparation and use of water within itf
boundaries are controlling and exclu.
sive of any other control.

Reaction in Wheat Market Feared.

The recent swift upward movement

asking whether or not the top has been
reached. Sooner or later the high

they were one year ago, but It 10 just

reason there has not been the keenness

the preceding week. II 10 also this
uncertainty that is causing millers to
refrain from advancing flour prices at
this time.
Country wheat bids were unchanged,
but at the local exchange offers were
raised from to II cents. Coarse
grains were about steady.
Bradstreets estimates the worlds
visible wheat increase at $50. 900 BUSH
