The people of the fourth congres-
sional district have recently been es-
pecially impressed that William H.
Murray stands high with Chump Clark,
speaker of the house of representa-
tives. • vUtf
Mr. William Hickey, one of Shaw-
nee's foremost democrats and busi-
ness men, in response to an expres-
sion of surprise by u gentleman that
Mr. Murray evidently was so highly re-
garded by Champ Clark as a strong
congressman, was heard to remark,
not for publication, neither in confi-
dence, just merely remarking, in sub-
stance as follows:
"It does not take one long in Wash-
ington to observe that Mr. Murray
ranks well among the top notchers in
congress. Most any time during one of
the busy sessions of the house Mr. Mur-
ray may be seen being conversed with
by such leaders as majority leader
Kitchin, minority leader Mann and
other house leaders. Mr. Hickey
went on to say: "1 was in Washington
and sat in the house of congress some
time ago when probably the house had
up as portentious and highly excitable
an issue as in its history. It was the
occasion of the great question before
congress of whether Americans should
be warned by the United States to re-
main off of all neutral ships. All
Europe was holding its breath, watch-
ing the attitude of the United States
as would be expressed by congress
and whether congress would uphold
the hands of the president.
"Snemies of the democratic party,
of the president and powerful pro-
German interests were seeking in
every strategic way to embarrass the
democratic administration. The most
critical period of the Wilson admin-
>rs istration was at hand in congress. The
vo enemy was about to take every
no strategic and parliamentary advan-
tage posible to bring in the most em-
it barrassing manner before the house
TI the grave questions then threatening
im to divide the forces of the democratic
an administration. At this juncture
Mr speaker Champ Clark called Mr. Mur-
r ray to the chair."
Mr. Hickey said Mr. Murray so tart-
It* fully and according to all parliauien-
: tary proprieties forestalled the oppos-
ition in all of its efforts to embar-
: rass the government, the party and
the president, that it was not a great
while until the crisis had passed and
the opposition with all of its painstak-
ing organization had ceased to strug-
gle to effect a vote or to inject a de-
bate which would have had a tendency
to reflect on the purposes and inten-
tlons of President Wilson.

Jccts us a blurred mas
The -Medical Record comments on
"how little Is known as to the extent
of vision of tile farnlghted nnil still less
of the nearsighted." We have two eyes
In order that our vision may be stereo-
scopic. and it Is thill that we nre able
to Judge of the relative distances of ob
(ects, and it brings a greater Held be
foro the retina at one time, but the
Bight of two eyes is no keener tlian
that of one. "Indeed, If there bo re-
quired a greater intensity in a given
field it is a natural tendency to obscure
the vision of one eye." That Is why
most women close one eye when thread
lng n line needle and why men In firing
a rifle at a target shut one eye.
The Medical Rocord doubts the value
of uniform tests for eyesight, urging
Iliat tests be made In relation to defi-
nite occupations. For example, a very
nearsighted man would be totally Inca-
pacitated from work in the field of
transportation, yet admirably fltte'd for
such work as engraving. A very far-
sighted man. on tlie other hand, who
would be utterly useless as a proof*
reader or a gem setter, might be a
prize ns a field surveyor, a forest rang
er or even a locomotive engineer.
"Many misfits," Boys the Medical
Record, "can bo prevented by deter-
mining the kind of occupation the In-
dividual will be best fitted for. In the
last analysis It should be the aim to
educate the vision one has to greater
powers by calling to aid all sources of
orientation—to educate and train vis-
ual perception so that 0110 may per-
ceive more of the objects within the
field of one'B vision."

tage of rural school attendance.
If the rural school attendance were
raised from ti7.ti per cent the average
daily attendance in the rural public
schools of the ynlUd States—to 90.6
Pit cent, the average daily attendance
In the rural public schools of Oregon,
it would mean an Increase of the rural
school term in effect and in the ag-
gregate for the country at large of Z'i
per cent. It would seem that 9.4 per
cent of the actual enrollment, as In
the case of Oregon, Is a sufficient al-
lowance lor all reasonable absences—
such as sickness, necessity of pupils
being absent as wage earners in or-
der to properly support the family,
and all other reasonable excuses. Ore-
gon has found it so. What Oregon
has done every other state in the
union can do it it only will. Who is
ready to say that every state should
not do this for the farm hoy and the
farm girls? — J. L. McBrien, V. S.

highest dam in the world
Difficulties Overcome In Building the
Arrowrock, In Idaho.
The dam w mailt In n narrow, preclj>-
ltous canyon, through which the turbu-
lent Rolse river races. Its name Is
gained from a plpantlc rock In that
canyon, the Arrowrock, which had
won Its name from the custom of the
roving Indians, who shot arrows Into
the face of It to tell their comrades
which way they had traveled. By the
angle of the arrow the late comers
knew whether those In advauce hud
gone up stream or down or up one of
the many tributaries.
The construction of the dam com-
menced in 1011, although much prelim-
inary and preparatory work had been
done before that, the most important
being that of diverting the river from
the site of the dam while the building
was In progress. This was done by
cutting a tunnel through the canyon
walls for MX) feet and turning the,
river through that. This tunnel was
large enough to carry the river at Its
highest Hood and was lined with ce-
ment. When the dam was finished the
tunnel was plugged with solid cement
In order to rea« h solid rock on which
to anchor the dam foundation It was
necessary to go down ninety-one feet
below the normal.bed of the river. No
less than 225.0(H) ruble yards of soli
and gravel were removed to lay bare
this bedrock.
The dam as finished is .118 feet hlgL/.
240 feet thick at the base, tapering to
sixteen feet at the top. where there is
a line driveway, lighted at night with
artistic electric lamps. The length of
the dam s 1,000 feet, curving grace-
fully upstream with a radius of «MJ2
feet In Its construction ftlO.OOO cubic
yards of cement were used, sufficient
to make a column ten feet square and
twenty-seven miles high.—J. P. Strat-
