State Aid for Irrigation Enterprises.

An Idaho irrigation district asks
for an appropriation of $500, 1000 to
erect an electric power plant to pump
water. If this. precedent is estab-
lished there will be other irrigation
districts demanding similar grants
from the state for various purposes.
Before the state puilds a power plant
for any one district, there should be
careful and painstaking investiga-
ton into the feasibility of the pro-
iect from a commercial standpoint.
The president of the district testified
before tne Public Utilities Commits
sion that 80 per cent of the water
pumped III feet from the Snake river
was lost by seepage in The main canal.
If such condition exists the solution
of the troubles of the district lies not
in state power plant, but in stop
ping the waste of water and conse-
quent waste of power. The district
that asks state aid to the amount OF
$500, 600 is only one of many irriga.
ton projects which are in struggl.
ing condition and need help. The
state must fully consider whether il
is good business policy to help one
district, when it may be called upor
to do the same for many other dis
tricts. Once the program of state
aid is started, demands will be made
by other districts. If the state help
one it must help them all. And the
expense of government is becoming |
greater burden than people like tt
bear.

~ LAZON Coiumbia's emblem.
The bounteous golden corn!
Dons ago Of that great suns SLOW
H. And the toy Of the earth twas

From euperior's shore to Chile.
From the ocean Of dawn to the west,
with IT'S banners Of green and silksn
II sprans at the suns behsst:
And by dew and shower from hs natal
hour,
With honey and wine twas fed.
TN on the slope and plain the gods were
fain
To share the feast outspread.
Ter the rarest boon to the land they
loved
Was the corn 30 rich and fair,
Nor star nor breeze Ger the farthest ssas
Could ffnd its like elsewhere.
In their hottest temples the Incas
Offered the heaven sent maize
Grains wrought OF gold In q silver foSd.
For the suns enraptured case;
And it, harvest came to the wanderins
tribes
AZ the gods own gift and seal.
And Montezuma's festal bread
Was made Of it's sacred meal
Narrow their cherished fields but ours
Are broad as the continents breast
And, lavish as leaves, the rustling sheaves
Bring plenty and Joy and rest,
Tor they strew the plains and crowd the
waine
When the reapere meet at morn,
Till .blithe cheers ring and west winoa
sing
A song for the garnered corn.
The rose may bloom for England.
The lily for France unfold;
ireland may honor the shamrock.
Scotland her thistle bold,
But the shield Of the great republic.
The glory of the west,
Shall bear a stalk Of the tasseled corn
The suns supreme bequest!
The arbutus and the gOldenrod
The heart of the north may cheer.
And the mountain laurel for Maryland
It's royal clusters rear.
And jasmine and magnolia
The crest of the south adorn.
But the wide REPUBLICS emblem
10 the bounteous golden corn!

A WOMAN.

~ He IL woman, but of spirit brave
To bear the loss of girlhood's gid
dy dreams:
~ The regal mistress, not the yielding
slave
OF her ideals, spurning that which seems
For that which is and, as her fancies fall,
sniling-the truth Of love outwelghs them
all.
She looks through life and with balance
just
Weighs men and things beholding as
The lives of others; in the common dust
She finds the fragments of the ruined
star;
Proud. with pride all feminine and sweet,
No path can soil the Wilderness OF her feet
Strikes dead deceit, laughs vanity away;
She hath no room for petty jealousies
Where faith and love divide their ten
der sway.
OF either sex she owns the nobIer part;
Mans honest brow and woman's faithful
heart.
She is a woman. who. If love were guide,
Would climb to power or in obscure con
Sit DOWN accepting fate with changeless
pride
A need in calm in storm a stan unbent;
No pretty plaything, ignorant Of life,
But mans true mother and his equal wife
-Bayard Taylor.
PERvERSITY OF WOMEN.
ROYS will be boys
~ Until twenty-one-no more.
Girls remain girls
Up to twentyfour.
