The Frinsed Gentian.

Children gladly welcome you,
Blossoms OF the royal hue,
Frightening the dullest room
With your wealth Of purple bloom.
On damp glebe or messy ground
In the autumn are you found
Opening your chalice tall
Where the cheerful sunbeams fall.
When the summer flowers fade
You adorn the narrow glade,
Weaving in your texture bright
Sapphire from the streams of light
Children linger where you grow
And your green leaves are aglow
With the message from above
Teaching us that life is love.

Letter Is Proof That
Some of Them Go Crazy

Chief Welsh has received letter
from former Salem boy, Harry Me-
Bride, who is now buglcr in Com
pany C, Ninth United States Infantry,
and stationed at Laredo, Texas, saying
that he is campod - yards from the
Mexican line and that he can see the
Mexican soldiers across the Rio
Grande, which is as muddy as when
Rip Van Wrinkle went to sleep. He
says the days are hot and the nights
freezing.
Many of the men he says 90 crazy.
One man looked down the barrel Of his
rifle TO see whether it was loaded and
pulled the trigger He found 1T was
loaded. Another set fire to gasoline
tank to see whether it was empty; it
was not. A cavaryman called up his
colonel and said he was going to shoot
four of his friends. His colonel de-
mandA his name and he hung up the
telephone, went cut and shot four com.
rades. Two are on marble slabs and
two in the hospital, he says.
The letter was sent to the chief
along with one.peso bill of Mexican
money. He says he was not personally
acquainted with the writer, who says
he wrote at the request of other boys
formerly of Salem.

Move to Reclaim
Swamp Lands Help Up

In order to find out the exact pro-
cedure to take to get title from the
United States government to the 90
900 acres of alleged swamp land of
Harvey Lake, the state land board at
meeting this morning decided to ask
the aid of the attorney general before
granting permit 10 c. b. Mcconnell to
reclaim the lands in question.
The matter of the reclamation was
brought up by the application OF Me
Connel for a permit to reclaim under
the Thompson Swamp Land act passed
at the 1913 session of the legislature
There is difference of opinion as +"
whether the $4,000 acres are really
swamp land as in some seasons of the
year hay can be grown on them while
in others they are covered with water
This is the first application made un-
der the swamp land act, and the matter
of title of the state to the land is the
question to be settled. If it is proved
the land is swamp land then the title
is in the state and a permit can bC
granted.
To decide this question, it is prob
able that nearing will be called to take
testimony of the state and government
This will take considerable time anc
lis said to be complicated. The matter
is Of great Importance as the improve
ment of the lake land is a big project
and has been under way for severa
years.
1t is proposed to drain the land nov
alleged to be swamp land. 1t is als'
proposed to take the water of the rive
that feeds the lake and irrigate th'
country in the vicinity. This will III
volve deals with big cattle owners am
squatters and will require a great dea
of negotiation.
