for the immediate construction and
final completion thereof. The mat
ter was laid before several bonding
companies and they approved the
bonds In a sufficient amount to con-
struct the entire system.
The changes 80 contemplated re-
quired the survey OF the lands within
the watershed and the submission
thereof to the county court for It's
approval.
In view OF the statute quilting the
method for this. some twenty days
extra time was required before the
hearing on this question could be
submitted TO the court. During this
twenty days. in order TO demonstrate
the feasibility OF the proposed drain
age system. Mr.. Fred J. Kiesel. OF
Ogden. Utah. was induced by the
board OF supervisors to construct a
little over a mile OF bitches upon his
premises under the method approved
by the engineer OF the district. this
work was laid out. constructed, ap-
proved and II is to be seen now by
any person desiring to do so. Also,
during this time, steps were taken to
secure for the district drainage ma

purchase and operation, and can be
had within twenty days.
Therefore, you might sum up the
matter as follows;
That since the 26th day of Feb

practically reorganized; the boundar-

thousand acres of land excluded and
eighteen hundred acres other lands
benefited by the system added to the
district; a Typographical survey of
the new lands has been completed so
far as necessary by the engineer Of
the district; the revised system OF
drainage has been installed; sur

FINAL REPORT ON
DRAINAGE. SYSTEM

Nyssa. Or, June 2s. 1915.
To the Landowners OF the Nyssa-
Arcadia Drainage District:
Gentlemen-In regard 10 what has
been accomplished by the board OF
supervisors since the 2sth day OF
February. 1915. l desire on their be-
half 10 present the following facts.
being In a position to know the work
accomplished by them during the
four months following said date.
The district was organized septem-
ber 2, 1915. and up to the 26th day
OF February. practically nothing OF
value was accomplished. for upon
that date It was ascertained that the
manner OF drainage as heretofore
laid out was too expensive and prac-
tlcally inefficient as to manner and
method; that the outlet was in the
wrong place and necessitated the un-
necessary expenditure of a large
amount OF money; that the one now
selected could be. and has been Sc
cured practically without cost; that
the lands adjoining the district on
the north and south and lands all
within the same watershed and over
lying the lands of the district, should
have been included with the original
district; that the lands lying conti-
guous to the district on the east were
practically of no value and could in
no manner be benefited by the pro-
posed drainage system and therefore
should be excluded.
Confronted with these facts, 1t was
apparent these evils must be RENE
died; that there was pending in the
county court objections of some ten
property holders attacking the dis
trict.
The supervisors realized that II the
for approval in a day or so after the
appraisers have been appointed and
district was going to be success,
some changes must be made. That
there also existed in the board of su-
pervisors a difference of opinion as to
the method of drainage; the exten-
sion OF the boundary lines; what
should be embraced and what lands
should be excluded.
Notwithstanding all this. the board
OF supervisors took the matter in
hand. The legality of the district
was presented to the district court
and the supreme court of the state.
and approved. placing the district in

AS THE EDITOR SEES 1T.

Patriotism is in the air these days,
and II extends from one end OF the
country to the other, and embraces
all classes of citizens from the mii-
lionaire TO the pauper. That is pa
triotism TO ones flag and country.
But there Is still another kind of pa
triotism that is of quite as great
importance but is not so generally
observed That is patriotism to the
home town. to the schools, the
churches, the lodges. the business
men, in fact, to everything that per-
tains to the home life. The more
prosperous the home communities Of
the country. the greater Is the power
OF the country as a single unit. The
man who exerts his influence In be-
half Of his home town uses as great
a brand OF patriotism as tire one who
mounts platform and starts the
eagle TO screaming. As matter Of
fact. there is no comparison between
the two. for IN nine cases out OF ten
actions speak louder than words.
Patriotism to country is commenda-
BILE, but that to both home and coun-
try Is even better.

WOULD BENEFIT OREGON AMI
WASHINGTON.


There is a great irrigation project
awaiting development. II is at the
junction of the Snake and Columbia
rivers.
The success of this project would
mean the canalizing of that portion
of the Snake river where rapids and
shallow water prevent continuous
navigation between Portland and the
Lewiston country.
II is possible to reach an under
standing with the government under
present laws for damming a naviga-
BILE stream for installing locks and
canals.
But there is no legal authority for
compact giving the right to the
dam builders to generate power to
pump water to the irrigation project
Here would be one of the most eff
fective combinations conceivable for
upbuilding the great Columbia basin.
The enterprise would. while Il re-
claimed much land OF unsurpassed
richness. improve waterway to the
distinct benefit OF a much larger
territory TO the east and extend It's
beneficial influence west.
Thus Is presented a potent afgu-
ment for the passage OF the Shields
bill. a measure which permits such
development yet safeguards the in
terests OF the public.

MAKING TIMES PROSPEROUS.

Prosperity to a considerable de-
gree rests upon the whims OF the
business interests of the country and
upon the people themselves.
II they are optimistic and believe
in prosperity and work faithfully to
that end. prosperity will be with u.s.
regardless OF conditions In other
countries. We are self supporting
people and are not dependent upon
the whims or eXertions OF others
But II we become pessimistic, and
constantly predict disaster and force
ourselves to the belief that II is TO
come. then we are likely TO get no
more than that which we predict.
A few people through the constant
use of their tongues can in time IN
still into the minds OF others the
same atmosphere of gloom that per-
vades them. and this is spread to
others. and yet others, until COM
munities and states and whole ma
4ions suffer from the effect
