REWARD FOR TELLING TRUTH
Portuguese Statesman May Not Have
Been FIattered, but at Least He
Won One Vote.

Senior Costa, the Portuguese prime
minister, is eXcusing himself from MAX
ing a speech on the ground that he was
no orator, told an amusing anecdote at
luncheon party given in his honor
during his recent visit to London. It
appears that when he first put up for
the Portuguese national council he
prefaced his opening address to the
electors by abiding frankly to mis-
lack Of oratorical gifts. After he had
finished man pushed forward. grasp
ed his hand warmly, and said:
Senior, I've beel a lifelong oppo-
nent of yours, but at the coming cleo
ton / shall vote for YOU
"Thank you,' said Costa, much graf
fled. MAY I ask the particular rea-
son for your change Of views?"
Because you are the first speaker
on either side that have heard tell
the truth" was the reply. "You said
when you began that you couldn't
make much of speech, and by heav-
ems, Senior. you can't"

EASTER FESTIVALS
IN SPANISH CITIES
Fontarabia Always Gay With
PROFESSIONS and Festivities
Gorgeous Celebrations in Sc
vile the Order for Centuries.

NPAIN, lying at peace in the heart
of war, need not be disturbed in
the celebrating of holy week, and
SO will continue to be first among
the nations honoring Christ in realistic
ceremonial. The little town of FOn-
tarabia, a stones throw from French
soil, is almost as old as the present
government of Spain. Religion and
war have been the greatest forces in
its ancient Streets and fortress with
many battles to it's credit yet guards
the quiet people whose greatest time
Of the year is that which is close upon
Easter Sunday.
Professions are the chief feature,
and the images of Christ and the
saints, which figure in these process
sions, are the treasures of the small
city. The gay city Of Seville has the
most gorgeous celebration of Easter
perhaps in the world, in the matter of
symbolic ceremonies in the streets,
and as the most beloved city of the
Spaniards' its practices have had a
wonderful influence over the little
towns, so many of which nestle against
the mountains or sun themselves along
the sea.
Rome, Petrograd and Venice have
| caught the ear of the world with the
music of their services during the
week Of the Passion, but in the COM
bined gravity and colorful symbolism
with which the little towns of the
| Spanish peninsula go about observing
Easter there is no superseding. The
images of st. Anne, the mother Of the
Virgin; of Mary Magdalene and the
| Savior are the most popular and the
most revered, and those which are
| most adored in the procession. The
| figure of the Christ in Fontarabia is
very old.
Poland and her Easter feasts are
heralded widely. Blessing the food
at Easter time is fully as ancient a
custom and is more familiar. It is
now spoken of as purely a Slavic
! feature. In the houses of the prosper
GUS, before the war, the tables fairly
| groaned with viands for the Easter
dinner that followed close upon many
| days Of very abstemious fasting Be
fore the meal was prepared in any
household, great or small, the food was
brought in baskets to the churches,
where priests sprinkled it with holy
| water and gave it their blessing. A
lamb cooked whole formed the center
piece of the table, as much as a goose
| in Germany or turkey in the United
| States at Christmas dinner.

CURIOUS custom. prevails IN
~ Florence at Easter in the fight
of the Dove. It's origin is OBJ
scure, but the Rev. S. Barring
Gould, who has we'll described it in
his 'In Troubadour Land" says that
it is alleged by some to commemorate
the deeds of FlOrentine knight, who,
in the crusade led by Godfrey de
Bouillon, was the first to climb the
walls of Jerusalem and set upon them
the banner of the Cross. This knight
then sent back the news of the re-
covery Of the Holy Sepulcher to Flor
ence by carrier pigeon, and so it was
the first city In Europe to hear the
good tidings.
The caro-, huge black structure
on wheels, is garlanded with flowers,
and covered with fireworks. It is
drawn into the Cathedral square by
white oxen, also decked out with flow
ers. Then the following ceremony
takes place. A rope is extended from
the CARO- to a pole which is set up in
the choir of the Duomo, before the
high altar, right up the whole length
Of the nave. Upon the rope, close to
the pole, is perched white plaster
dove. At the stroke of twelve, while
the Easter eve Mass is in progress, 'sa
match is applied to a fusee, and in
stantly the white dove flies along the
rope, pouring forth tail of fire, down
the nave, out at the west gate, over
Ie - +31a
CAIRO, ignites fusee there, turns, and,
still propelled by it's fiery tail, whizzes
along the cord again till it has reach
ed it's perch on the pole in the choir,
when the fire goes out and it remains
stationary, But in the meantime the
match ignited by the dove has COM
municated with the squibs and crack
ers attached to the CAIRO, and the
whole mass of painted wood and flow
ers is enveloped in fire and smoke,
from which issue sheets Of flame and
loud detonations. Meanwhile Mass is
being sung composedly within the
choir as though nothing were happen
| ing without The fireworks continue
| to explode for about quarter of an
hour, and then the great garlanded
oxen, white, with huge horns, are re-
yoked to the caro-, and it is drawn
away
The flight Of the dove is watched
with keen attention and interest by
the peasants, for from it's style Of
flight they augur a variety of future
happenings. Thus, if the bird sails
along easily without jerks they say
the summer will be fine; while if it
goes sluggishly, and makes frequent
halts, they presage storms, late frosts,
hail, and, as consequence, bad crops.

Gain THROUGH SUFFERING.

Do not think. to triumph without
merging your life in the life of the
race. Come out from your monastic
cell; come away from your place Of
exclusiveness come down from your
hill of privilege and of pride. Live
the life of the world
And do not think to live the life of
the world without discipline of pain.
No suffering, no leigning; no tears, no
crown. The triu nph of the resurrec-
ton had not been except for the ira
vail of Calvary. Power is built on
pain. "He who loseth his life shall
find it."

Dav OF Victory.

Easter is not the celebration OF
serene and untroubled righteousness.
It is no festival of life always secure
in the enjoyment of mastery over ma
lign forces. Easter is the day which
commentaries supreme victory of
good over evil temporarily triumphant
and newly overthrown. 1t is sacred to
resurrection, and resurrection implies
at least the brief ascendency of death.

All Had Faith in Eternal Life.

The hope of Immortality was not
born on the first Easter. 1t has been
a universal aspiration. Views of the
future state have varied vastly, from
the fantastic to the sublime, but all
men in all ages, saints and sinners,
sages and simpletons, have had some
sort Of faith in life eternal.

common Easter Beliefs.

1t is considered by many unlucky to
omit wearing new clothes on Easter
day. To see lamb out of the window
on Easter morning is a good omen, es-
pecially if it's head be turned in the
direction of the house. To meet lamb
is lucky, as, according to the popular
notion, the devil can take any other
form than that Of lamb or dove.

But Mr.. Gard and A. d. Anderson,
secretary Of the district, and others
in the delegation did not see it that
way. They are enthusiastic over plans
for developing a great 200, 900 acre
project, by eoordinating a number of
projects in that section into n great
harmonious group.
At the request of the delegation the
desert land board voted to join with
the district in petitionng the govern
ment TO investigate the feasibility OF
constructing a big dam and reservoir
on the Benham Fan site. This res
ervoir, II feasible, will assure water
for all the land in the 200,000acre rad.
ius, declared Mr.. Gard.
As a part Of the petition to the
government, the desert land board
pledges the state to make an investiga-
ton Of the seepage losses On the Cen
trail Oregon irrigation project on which
an option has been taken by the North
Unit district, and to investigate the
proposed readjustment Of the Tumaio

In approving this petition to the
government, the board went on reeoru,
at the suggestion of State Treasurer
Kay to the effect that It's action
in no way binds the state to give
financial aid to the scheme, either by
guaranteeing the bonds for the North
