FARMS WAITING KOR SETTLERS
IX ORE«ON
The Tumalo district in Crook
county, Oregon, naiued after Tu
malo creek, comprises an area of
about 22,500 acres of land partly
irrigated by private enterprise and
partly by the state. The entire de
velopment project was taken over
by the legislature of 1313 at a cost
of J4M00, and the price of land
per acre was fixed at $40, payable
on the same terms as those grant
ed by the government to bona fide
settlers. In this transaction the
sute is desirous simply of reimburs
ing itself, witk interest. All the
work necessary to the operation of
(aiming is now complete. About
7000 acres have been taken up;
bout 15,000 remain to be occupied.
This tract Is divided Into forty
ncre units, but one person luay be
come the owner of more than a
»ingle unit There is really no
price oi the land: the ?40 an
acre covers cost of water,
but one cannot obtain a title to
the land until the water assess
ment is paid in full. Only citizens
o' the United States, or those
who have declared their intention
to become such, can obtain
titles, and no title can be taken
until one has actually resided
ninety qs-jb on me iauu. iut
ments fcr the water may be made
on various terms, runniug over a
•period of ten years, but not less
than $4 an acre must be paid
when application is mad<» for an al
lotment From that time two years
may elapse before the next payment
is called for, the purchaser in the
meantime to put in. and harvest
hlr crcps, build, Hake other im
provements, buy nectary machin
t ry, and so on.
Steady, industrious people are
welcome to share this enterprise. It
is said hat good crops and good
returns on the crops are practically
JSiurel in reward of labor. The
!a!*ds have now been oj-en to settle
ment for several months and sur
prise is expressed that there >s
net a greater demand for them.
Perhaps they have not teen proper
ly advertised. The desert land
board, Salem, Ore, will furnish
any interested person who may ap
ply for them with partUulars. It
would seem as If this opportunity
should be placed before town and
city dwellers that are looking for
farm home* on easy terms in a
new and promising country.
ACADEMIC DRIFT TO TEMPER
ANCE.
The (.ontroversey new under way
among Harvard undergraduates
as to the exclusion of beer from
class gatherings of a social and
semi-educational sort, says an
Eastern exchange, originated with
undergraduates and not wtth the
university administrators or with
teachers of the young men. Har
vard's traditional laissez-faire,
individualism on matters of mor
als as well as of pedagogics,
vould preclude imposition of stand
ards from above, even if the offi
cials or the teachers were con
cerned with the issu* involved.
No! The challenge of tradition
and custom and the assertion of
fn ideal of temperance by a
growing minority comes from the
youths themselves; and, . as the
Harvard Bulletin intimates in its
current issue, the fact of the
protest and the size of the min
ority indicate a marked change Of
opinion in a conservative insti
tution proud t its Weals of lib
erty. Along with the general so
cial tendencies, economic as well
as ethical, which are making for
prohibition of manufacture and
use of alcoholic beverages, and
which account in part for the chang
lnj[ point of view at Harvard, there
i must bo Included certain factors
I that are influential In this particu
' lar case. Harvard's department of
socia. ethics, founded by Prof.
Francis G. Peabody, has steadily
proved to students, by indisputable
evidence drawn from many quarters
of the world, that sobriety and
abstinence are rational ends to
be sought by educated men. The
city of Cambridge, with all its re
cent deflections from civic Idealism,
nevertheless has not ceased to
stand for exclusion oi the saloon.
; Under new terms of admission the
i Diversity is now drawing a larger
J proportion of its students from re
gions of the country where "prohibi
: tion" prevails and from homes and
| schools less fashionable but more
1 serious-purposed than some institu
tions and some social circles, which
for generations have dominated Har
vard customs and fashions.
What a state does that really as
sumes responsibility for the wel
fare of its college men and women
^ may be shown soon by Michigan,
where the legislature has before
it a bill which would prohibit li
quor sales within five miles of any
state °<lucational institution. The
campaign of strategy of the cham
pions of this bill includes direct ap
peal to parents of all students to
labor for the propose d law, and
j this many of them will do for pru
I dential reasons.

Guests Come Late to
Dinner to Attract
*
Attention
By CHAUNCEY M. DEPEW, Former
United Slates Senator
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
COMING late to dinner is a
form of egotism. It is a
pose, usually affected to com
mand attention. The person who
comes last to dinner and very late
knows that all the other hungry
guests will be in
\ formed wno it is
that is late an-]
that his or her
entrance will be ,
an event.
WITH SOME
PEOPLE IT IS A
SORT OF AD
VERTISEMENT
["OF HAVING RE
MEMBERED
ONLY WHEN IT CHAUNC" DEPEW
WAS TOO LATE TO GET READY IN
TIME BECAUSE OF SUCH A MUL
TITUDE OF ENGAGEMENTS.
Many years ago there was a
prominent lady who was always late
for dinner. Her excuses were in
numerable and always occupied the
attention of the whole room, like
a speech before dinner. I sent her
an invitation to one of my dinners,
fixing the time half an hour before
the hour named for the other in
vited guests. CONSEQUENTLY
SHE WAS NOT TIIE LAST TO
ARRIVE AND DID NOT KEEP
THE COMPANY WAITING. SnF!
NEVER FORGAVE ME.
Foreign Objects In the Lunge.
Sir William Millionu exhibited at a
recent meeting of the Koyal Society of
Medicine a damson stone, a carpet
tack and a coin, all of which bad been
inhaled into the lungs and been re
moved with forceps after several days
»f suffering on the part of the persons
who had been foolish enough to put
them into their mouths.

After reading the public state
ment of this fellow-sufferer given
below, you must come to this
conclusion: A remedy which prov
ed bo beneficial years ago, with the
kidneys can naturally b^ expected to
perform the same work in similar
cases. Read this:
Mrs. L. E. Erickson, 21 Second
St., Astoria. Ore., says: "About
three years ago I began to have
trouble with my kidneys. I went
from bad to worse aud about three
months ago my back began to
trouble me. It ached awfully and
was very sore. My head ached con
stantly and I was right down sick.
I knew I had to do something, and
reading that Doan'i Kidney Pills
had helped others so much, I got
some. Pour boxes ' benefited me
wonde.'iully.'"

simply for a kidney remedy—
