Clark Learns city Ways.

Clark Nelson, always law-abiding
citizen when he made his residence in
Pendleton. has acquired police court
record since he moved to Portland.
The newly appointed state manager
for the Equitable Life Insurance COM
pany just can't remember all those
little trkffic regulations which the
city fellers have imposed and three
times he was taken to the police
court for violations of ordinances.
Not only was a fine imposed, but Mr..
Nelson was forced to wait his turn and
this took few golden hours out of
the day. Finally a speed cop ac-
costed Mr.. Nelson while he was mo-
toring on Terwilliger boulevard and
announced that he was exceeding the
speed limit. But we're out in the
country" pleaded Clarke. thinking
of Dhe weary nours in the police
court.
'Country?" was the reply. Don't
you know the city limits?"
And the argument was over.

The Red Cross canteen in Pendleton
will continue its activities for some
time although canteens in many parts
of the northwest are closing save for
special occasions. such as the arrival
of troop trains. Because trains pass
Pendleton during the break
fast, luncheon and dinner hour. it is
thought advisable to keep the canteen
open for the regular meals as well as
for the arrival of special troop trains.

CE RMAN PEOPLE
TOLD To MOURN
FOR FULL WEEK

tsr MORNING JOURNAL spHci-t LEASED wiRE1
Berlin, May (Friday, by the Asso
ciated Press. "A week OF mourning
has been decreed by the government
to give expressions to the sorrow and
depression" called forth by the an
nouncement of the peace terms The
week will begin Sunday.
The decree provides that public fri
volity must be stopped for a period of
eight days. It's provisions affect the
first-class theaters as well as the pop
ular cabarets. Dancing, horse racing
and gambling will be suppressed and
the occasion probably will be used to
put a definite end to the gambling
frenzy which is holding Greater Ber-
lin in its tentacles. A season of soul
searching would seem to be the most
palpable reaction to the frivolity and
gambling which has been in progress.
On the day the peace terms were pub
lished the Karlshorst took in more
than 10000 marks in gate receipts,
while the betting sheds distributed
$500, 900 marks
During the week of mourning the
cabinet expects that the federated
states will give loyal cooperation to
its endeavor to have every city, town
and hamlet observe the occasion.

Hot Springs. N. NJ. May 1l.--Never
before did this part Of the Rio Grande
valley look better nor seem TO have
more favorable outlook for develop
ment alons either mineral or agri-
cultural lines The finding of oil in
large quantities is uppermost in the
minds of most OF the people in this
quaint little mineral water town,
If one has never strayed down be-
low the great Elephant Butte dam
and suddenly rounded a curve and
entered the little town of Hot Springs,
one has a western frontier thrill COM
ing. The delusion Is only apparent on
closer examination Houses and store
fronts, set any old place down the
diagonal side of hill and old timers
seated about the stoops, might lead
one to think that the Hot Springs
was the original setting for Reming-
toms AN Argument With the Sher-
if" However, 1t is all delusion, for
when most of these old timers get up
to walk away one sees that they are
crippled. Around certain adobes of
the town there are always number

Just now the Hot Springs has taken
on a new activity and every faithful
residenter who can afford the time
and persuasive qualities is opening an
office and selling oil stock. and some
OF these promoters are doin@ lara
office business. How much actual oil
there is in and about this part of the
valley is yet undetermined. Where
there is so much smoke there IS sure
TO be some fire, and so one may look
to hear in a few months of some gen.

richment about. around and in the
Elephant Butte and Hot Springs sec
ton.
Yearly this section is developing its
agriculture. The one great drawback
at present in the section below the
dam for miles seems to be that there
are certain property owners who like

for the agricultural bone, so rich with
meat, but are determined no one else

intended to he. The h!g land holders
do not want to pay any water rates
and it has been rumored that one

establish pumping plants to irrgate
the land, rather than to pay any
money to the government for water
privileges, a threat which. 4 : said.
the government would take action
again, if such water came from tn.
Rio GTande.
Soil Very Fertile.
About Las Palomas Il is so fertile
that the establishment of permanent
water would. if the land was open to
settlers, instead of being in the hands
of few. blossom like the rose. The
land in the vicinity and on down the
valley is not only very rich, but is high
enough in elevation so that it will
never be water soaked from over
flow or seepage. There is also much
| less alkali here than in many other
sections and alfalfa beans. wheat and
corn can be raised in abundance, Be-
sides these products all kinds OF veg
etables and fruits grow we'll, and even
cotton and sugar can are not relucta n.
to respond TO the tickle of the plow.
1t was the intention Of the govern
ment in constructing the Elephant
Butte dam, of course to omen the
country to the real settler and to af-
ford him nominal water rates so that
he could develop that section, and il
was never intended that few men
should possess great tracts, even
though they may have come into such
possession legitimately, especially
when such owners have not done any
thing to encourage the development
of the land by paying water rates or
encouraging the buildings of a high
| line canal.
Thousands of Acres Held.
The result of it all is that there
are thousands of acres which would
be Immediately taken up by active
and wideawake ranchers and farmers
and put under cultivation, which they
cannot buy. nor will the present own
ers do anything in common with the
majority of the ranchers to obtain
the needed water for cultivation. by
the construction of the higher canal.
They lay IL waste, these lands. and
it has been reported that the owners
have said they would let orchards die
and rot before they would ever let
a poor tenant keep them up for what
profit he could get out of them.
