IRRIGATION OF
SANT|AM LANDS
CONTEMPLATED

About 40 Santiam valley land
owners representing approximate
ly 1000 acres met at AumsVille
Yesterday afternoon to discuss the
formation of an irrigation district
under the state laws. Joseph Nc
Allister, from the state engineer
office, and Mr.. Mcdonald, repre-
senting the Willamette Valley IT.
rigated Land company. met with
the farmers in an effort to assist
them.
In order that no time be lost be-
fore the feasibility OF such a plan
be determined, a permanent work
ing organization was formed with
Clarence Browne as president and
J. II. Mckinney as secretary. T. e.
Thomas, A. E. Bradley, j. N. Dun
can. Harry Colgin and j. w. Nc
Kinney were appointed to make
an exhaustive report of the water
rights and bitches of the old VIII
lamette Valley Irrigated Land
company, and draw up plan foI
operation to be presented at the
next meeting to be called at the
discretion of the president. They
will also ascertain the cost of the
water, estimate the operating
costs, the probable acreage, the
sufficiency of the water rights
and all other points which are
necessary to know.
When the reports of the com
mittee are received it will be de-
termined if the organization shai
go ahead with the thought o.
forming an official bonding dis
trict. 1t has been estimated thai
between 10000 and $4,000 acres
would be irrigated should thu
proposition be carried out.
The problem facing the organ
ization is the adjusting of thu
water and disch rights of the
Willamette Valley Irrigation com
pany which are still in litigation
The company has approximately
100 acres of deed land up tht
valley not far from Aumsville
With adjustment accomplished
before the opening of spring i
would be possible to deliver watel
to most of the farms for next sum
mer. At present not all of th'
land is susceptible to irrigation
but could be made SO very easily
The valley is said by surveyors tt
have slope of about 20 feet to th'
mile, much more than 1t looks t.
the casual observer.

Something to Think About
By F. A. UALKER

Rather than do mean things, put
forth your hand and lay hold of the
cosmic forces all about you and be-
come strong and high-minded with
them.
There Is no barrier between these
forces and you which cannot be over
come; no height to which you cannot
ascend when once you move with them
In perfect accord.
Touch the little riIl of friendliness
and observe how 1t grows into a limpid
sea of love, on which the great ships
Of life sail to and fro on their kindly
missions, bearing to all mankind their
precious cargOes and helpful tidings.
Pitiful, indeed, is the soul-state of
the man or the woman who, through
selfishness or blind indifference, can
not see the beauty of friendly acts,
or sense the vital effect they exert on
humanity.
Most of us are prone to sit in our
houses of clay and discuss with one
another the faults and frailties of our
neighbors without giving thought to
our own.
Instead Of paying tribute and
touching hearts with kindness we do
the opposite, and then wonder in our
more serious moments why the world
is so cold and uncharitable.
It is a big world through which we
are travelling, and there is big work for
l. ~
touching of the stream which flows In
to the hidden sea Of happiness every
where around us, eager to cool our
fevered flesh and gle us peace.

PUT FORTH YOUR HAND

WHEN you put forth your hand to
" feel the thrOb of the laughing
water of little mountain stream you
touch the waters Of the whole world
So do you come in contact with the
universe when with a hard word you
touch the heart of child, dear
friend, father or mother and leave
a scar which in later years you would
gladly give all you have to obliterate.
Words and water flow on and on
forever, carrying with them their
songs Of cheer or their dirges of sOr-
row.
They purr In the sunlight or snarl
In the storm, doing good or evil, leav-
ing in their wake gladness or desola-
ton, never stopping in their swift run
to the great sea of eternity with which
unconsclously all human lives are in
touch.
Consider this and get from the
thought a principle for honest judg-
ment and noble action.
When tempted to blurt out an ugly
word, hold your tongue.
When inclined to ridicule, be care
full lest you humiliate, discourage and
rob the miserable victim of his or her
last ray Of hope.

WHAT OTHERS HEAR

WTHAT man isn't on the level"
- said very experienced Judge
Of humankind recently. "When he
talks he doesn't mean what you hear"
Talkatlve, even persuasive people
who don't mean what you hear are
considerably too numerous in the
world.
Their words sound plausible, con-
vincing. You can hear them. But
you cannot hear the silent thoughts
that are going on in the head of the
man who is talking to you; the
thoughts that do not check up with
the words at all.
You will learn in time that such
men are not to be depended 1pon.
Unless you are shrewd or widely eX-
perienced, you are likely to learn too
late.
But never mind that. You will
profit by what your first mistake
costs you. And after that you will
be a little bit cautious about words,
unless you know that the thoughts
behind the words agree with them.
OF course it is impossible for you,
or for me, or for all the forces in this
world, to make every man mean what
we hear him say.
But we can. at least contribute to
the general sum Of frankness and
honesty by always meaning what the
other fellow hears
AS it always pays to be on the
level-a thing no crook ever seems
to be able to discover-it will pay us
to make our words express our
thoughts, and nothing but our
thoughts.
It is not necessary to pour out our
hearts to strangers and acquaint-
ances. 1t is not necessary to acQuaint
our friends with everything that is in
our minds, although most men are
far more secretive than is at all nee
essary.
When we do talk, whether much
or little, we ought to speak our
thoughts and not continually make
mental reservations as we go along.
The writer knows of an able and
brilliant man who might have gone
far In the world but for reputation
for mental thickness that he earned
deservedly long ago.
He Is not dishonest. He means

notes, and presently they have his
measure.
Today he earns in his profession
about half the salary he ought to
earn, and stands about a quarter as
high as he could stand chiefly be-
cause he never means what the other

Words are an imperfect means of
expressing thought, but they are all
we have. If we use them to conceal
thought we are getting very little out
of them, and incidentally doing very
poorly by ourselves.

THE FRIENDLY PATH

- Wa IN - hSDiN0ONs
A IN high.
a IF you hit the mark, you
must aim a little above it; ev-
cry arrow that flies feels the at
traction of the EARTH"
This was the advice of the great
poet, Longfellow. BY following
this rule he won lasting honor,
and scattered sunshine through
out the world. But even with
all his success, one finds con-
elusive evidence In many of his
writings that he was never sat
isfled. He never quite gained
the place he aimed to reach, ac-
cording to the estimate placed
upon his work by himself.
A man is unfortunate If he
is absolutely satisfied. This as
sertion has been widely contra
dlcted. But proof Of its logic
is found in the careers Of all the
truly great.
If he is satisfied with what he
has done or is doing, he never
is likely to get much further
unless pushed ahead by sheer
luck.
To everyone there comes a
feeling Of satisfaction and hap
piness whenever he accomplishes
something which brings him re-
turns In gold or honor. But
there may still be something
lacking to make his joy COM
plete if he does not see the ben
ef1ts Of his labors reflected In
the smiles Of the world.
No matter how high he may
go in the opinion of others.
there is certain to be a feel
ing Of resentment in his own
breast If he believes he is leav-
ing undone some service which
win add to the joys Of his fell
lows.
The most inviting pathways
are bordered by blossoms. The
happiest lives are surrounded
by smiles.
Let us aim to deserve the
honest praise Of thankful
friends.
