Big Crew at Work
Near F0ur-Mile Lake

One hundred and fifty men are ad-
vertised for by the Rogue River Land
Company to be used in building the
fourteen-mile ditch which will con-
meet Fish Lake, the present source of
water supply, with Four-Mile Lake
and will increase the water supply
twofold. Twenty-Five men are at
present employed, but the force will
be increased to two hundred as fast
as possible, as the working season
will last less than four months long
er and the company hopes to COM
plete the ditch this season. The con-
Meeting ditch is to be six feet across
at the bottom and twelve feet across
at the top
Four-Mile Lake, the waters of
which will furnish reserve supply
for Fish Lake, is two and half miles
long and one mile wide, the depth
being unknown, a surveyors chain
having failed to find bottom at 1870
feet.
The company at present has water
to irrigate 10000 acres available,
most of which comes from streams in
the vicinity without tapping the Fish
Lake supply, which the company men
figure will supply 10000 additional
acres. Four-Mile Lake will care for
10000 acres more, and if necessary
the dams at the two lakes can be

Indian Lands To Go .
To Highest Bidder

Sixty allotments on the klamath
Indian reservation, north of klamath
Falls, belonging to estates of de-
ceased Indians, are soon to be adver-
tised and sold to the highest bidders,
according to Engineer H. w. Hincks
of the Indian Reclamation Service at
klamath Falls. Much of the land is
tillable and parts of it can be irrigat-
ed, Engineer Hincks said. Superin-
tendent William B. Freer of the
klamath reservation has ordered
surveys to be made of all the sixty
allotments.
Mr.. Hincks said that already this
season 665 acres of Indian lands on
the Fort Creek project on the reserv-
alton have been reclaimed to water
by the Indians.

Who Helps Those
Who Help Themselves

In March, 1913, F. H. Newell, di-
recor of the Reclamation Service rec
commended that $450,OO0 be set aside
to cooperate with the state of Ore
gon in reclamation work. At that
time Oregon had already appropriat-
ed $45O,O00 for work on the Tumalo
project, which work was begun In
June, 1913. In August of that year
Secretary Lane visited Oregon and
congratulated the state on its pro-
gressive work and reiterated his
promise to give us consideration
The $450,000 was never made avail
able and never spent, but it is not
the purpose, at this time, to enter
into any discussion of that matter,
more than to show that Oregon has
done more for herself in the way of
reclamation than has any other state
and has received proportionately less
from the federal government.
The state completed the Tumalo
project by direct appropriation of
S450,OO0. The state appropriated
$4,000 to be used with a like sum
from the government in cooperative
investigations. These funds were ex-
pended and surveys made. 1t was
anticipated by this state that follow
ing this cooperative work, funds
would be made available by the
Reclamation Service to carry for
ward some of this meritorious work.
The service has in the past allotted
to Oregon about S7,OO0,O0O, but has
actually expended only a little more
than $3,000,O00, the balance revert
ing to the general reclamation fund. |
From the fact that over $4,000, 900 |
has been put into the reclamation
fund from sale of timber in our ma
tional forests, it seems that Oregon
should receive more than a third of
that sum.
If the entire 40 per cent of the
Oregon-California grant land fund,
now apportioned to the reclamation
fund, were spent in Oregon, she
would yet have received less than
has been supplied to that fund. Mere
justice to the state should cause the
expenditure of that fund here, not
taking into any consideration Ore
CONS right to the proceeds of the sale
of these grant lands.

State Has S77,687
From Federal Fund

Oregon is to receive $7S,6S7 from
the federal fund provided by the new
good roads act, the total appropria.
tion for the first year being S., ,OOO,-
900. The state will receive its share
contingent upon the appropriation OF
like sum from state funds.
Texas gets the largest share, $291,-
927; New York is second, with $780,
72O; Pennsylvania third, $23O,644,
and Illinois fourth, $220,926A
Before making the division Secre-
tary Houston deducted per cent, or
$3.50, 900, set aside by the act for ad-
ministration. Then the $4,S5O,OO
was allotted to the states on a basis
of one-third respectively in the ratio
of area, population and rural deliv-
cry and star mail routes.
Among other state allotments are:
California, $151,O6S.
Idaho, $60,463.
North Dakota, $76,143.
South Dakota, $S0,946.
Utah, $56,950.
Washington, $71,SS4.
Wyoming, $61,196.
The first installment is for the fis-
cal year ending June 80, 1917. For
the four succeeding years the follow
ing amounts, to be apportioned in the
same manner, were authorized:
1918, $1O,OOO,OOO; 1919, $15,OOO,-
300; 1920, $2O,OOO,OOO; 1921, $685.
100000. In addition, $14,OOO,O0O is
appropriated each year for ten years
or the development of rural roads in
rational forests.

Some Poetry is Made to Be Heard,
Not Needed.

hOhhN ottAg 10
Not Needed.
In the August American Magazine
"Sid" says:
after lively day at the office
wedged into the subway the other
evening, opened up New York even
ing paper, and found on the editorial
page the following inspiring and
cheerful lines:
Ambition has but one reward for
all
A little power, little transient fame,
A grave to rest in, and a fading
name"
l began to wonder why | had gone
down town in the morning if this
was all | was going to get out of it.
Then tried to imagine what good II
would have done to stay at home and
sit in rocking chair all day. If my
wife went out and brought me my
evening paper, wouldn't | be just as
unhappy when l came upon the poets
words? If poets are going to make
fun Of me when | work and relatives
when loaf, what can | do? | can't
sit off at one side on a star and rum
mate on these matters. | have to
mix around on earth, where life !.
real and creditors are earnest.
Where shall l go and how shall I
manage? What do you recommend,
Mr.. Poet? I don't enjoy being a
poor miserable worm any more than
you enjoy seeing me one.
GAS a matter of fact, the little
power and the transient fame
which the poet complains of are first
class things to strive for. They are
the best rewards in the market. To
refuse to struggle for them is COW
ardly and unsportsmanlike. The hu-
man being who won't play and take
his part in the game of life is the
most useless of creatures. Here we
are on this earth NOW--not 100, 900
years ago or 100000 years hence,
but NOW. And here are others like
us. Here is work to do and here are
pleasures to enjoy. 1t is up to us
to take hold and accept those forms
of satisfaction which are available.
Perhaps we shall all meet again in
another existence where the rewards
of ambition are better or, at least,
different. If so, go after them
would be my advice.
"The poet who got up this dose of
philosophy probably has not the
slightest idea of swallowing it for
He had fine time writing |
the lines, and probably he hopes that |
they will live! No doubt If you stole
his poem and tried to palm 1t off as
your own he would chastise you. You
would not find him ready to have his
name fade yet. He would fight for
his rights, and fight to keep his work
from being annihilated-which is
what we are put in the world for.
Don't order your life on the plans
and specifications laid down by
poet. Remember that what poet
writes must rhyme. Often perfect
ly well-intentioned and optimistic
poet has to visit the gloom factory in
order to find some of the necessary
sizes in metrical feet A poet would
rather scan well than be president"

Helms, now of El Centre, CAL, was
recently arrested at Eugene by Dep

of conspiring to evade the bankruptcy
laws. The federal authorities claim
that Helms gave promiscuous deeds

order to defeat the claims of credit
ors. He has been sought for by gov
ernment officials since April. Helms

Don't put off until tomorrow what
