By the rosy cliffs of Devon, on a ' green hill's crest, I would build me a house as a swallow builds her nest: I would curtain it with roses and the wind should breathe to me The sweetness of the roses and the saltness of the sea. Where the Tuscan olives whit en in the hot blue day, I would hide me from the heat in a Utile hut of pray. While the singing of the hus bandmen should scale my lattice preen From the golden rows of barley that the poppies blaze between. Narrow Is the street. Dear, and dingy are the walls Wherein I wait your coming as the twilight falls. AH day with dreams I gild the grime till at your step I start Ah Iive, my country in your arms my home upon your heart! Amelia Josephine Burr in Ju ly Scribners". THE DIVISION NUISANCE. Business men of Oregon will do ( well to take note of the innumerable county division bills being prepared for the consideration of 'the people next fall. Already so many division measures have been filed with the secretary of state that If half of them are adopted the map of Oregon will be so changed that It will not be recognized even by a native son. Furthermore the indiscriminate cre ation of new counties cannot fail to Increase taxation. This state can not create ten new counties and pro vide for ten additional sets of coun ty officers and hope to get uong with present levies. The divisionists make assertions to the contrary. Bui that Is "campaign' talk. That same aigument was advanced in favor of the creation of Hood Hiver county. Yet E. A. Schiffler, a Pendleton tail or who fiwns property in Hood River, found his taxes increased 61.4 per cent the first year of the new county's existence- It is the history of every new county that division brings on increased taxation. This is only natural. Another feature of these division lights is the fact thai division meas ures are sprung when the people re siding in the proposed new counties do not want division at nil. Take for instance the "orchard" county Btheme. Manifestly the people resid ing in the greater portion of that pro posed county do not want division. Two of the four towns included in "Orchard" county are hotly op posed to the division. They are Weston an 1 Athena. They have good reason for being opposed. Division will mean iti'-reased taxation and that business now held by Athena and Weston will be diverted to Walla W:ii!a. Milton people imagine they will cot that hu'inesg. But they wont: Milton is practically a sub urb of Wall;; Walla and such it will always remain. If "Orchard" county carries, that busin-i will he lost to this state. The Oreli:::d" county measure was drafted in secret i.y a little clique of MiH"!i bu.-ine.-s men. It is purely a selfish measure. Representative men living riht in Milton and in Free water are opposed to the proposition. In communications to this paper they have so declared themselves. Even the newspapers of Milton and Free water have failed to take up with the ptoposition. Neither the Freewater Times or the Milton Eagle advocates the division measure editorially and this fact has caused much comment. The Weston Leader and the Athena Press have declared themselves aa Utterly opposed to division. As to the merits of other division measures the East Oregonlan Is not Informed. It' is impossible to judge of those issues from a distance. But If they are anything like the division Pleasure that has been foisted upon Umatilla county then every bill should b.T voted down. They should be voted down and then a law should be passed providing for settlement of division problems by the people residing In the counties affected. EXTEND THE rROJKCT. It begins to look like Oregon may not fare so well as It should in the matter of further U. S. reclamation work. The law has been changed which required that money collected fiom the sale of lands within a state should be expended within that state. This may work against Oregon. Then the reclamation service has been so attacked by newspapers and by par ties opposed to government irrigation that Oregon's chances will be still further lessened. But if the government is to be driven out of Oregon the reclamation service should not go until the Uma tilla project has been extended to lands lying west of the Umatilla river. If no new projects are to be undertaken at least the government should complete its present project. The Umatilla project will not be complete until it is extended to in clude the land west of the Umatilla. FOLLOW THE LAW. According to the statement of President Schmeer of the bankers' association the assessor of Mult nomah county claims to assess realty at 75 per cent of its real ground val ue.' If this is the case then what is the excuse of the Multnomah county assessor for breaking his oath. Under the law he is required to assess prop erty at its actual value and he took oath to do this very thing. As a mat ter of fact the Multnomah assessor duos not even assess realty at 75 per cent of its value. It was disclosed at the recent meeting of the state tax commission that he has assessed country property at about 50 per cent oi its value and city realty at 60 per cent of its actual valuation. Would i! not serve to settle the assessment problem if every assessor in this state would rigidly adhere to the law and .issess property at its real value? ' HIGH-HANDED. Wenaha springs, where the visiting hankers were entertained today, is preeminently a Pendleton resort. It has always been and always will be. This because Wenaha shrines has close connections with this city. Yet the "Orchard" county bill places the resort In "Orchard" coun- This is an illustration of the judgment shown by those who drafted the division measure. They also in clude Athena and Weston in the pro posed new county despite the fact tliat the people of those towns object strenuously to being so Included. It is a high-handed scheme from start to finish. As entertainers Major Lee Moor l;r use and his "bloodthirsty friends from the reservation" are always ap preciated. President Taft says his administra tion has made good. But that sentl ricnt is not shared bv everyone. Some Salem republicans do not t.-'ke kindly to the idea of having Joe Simon run the state nssemhlv. Are the hankers glad tomorrow ?undav? is VERMONT THRIFT. Tile nntlve thrift of the Vermont- ers was under discussion and a storv was told that was held to illustrate ii perfectly. There was a man in one of the interior Vermont towns who had an old horse, rineboned, spavined with the heaves and every other horse aliment almost a mere shadow of a horse He used to drive the horse to town every day and was jeered by his neighbors f .r using such n mis erable beast. One d.iy he walked into the store at the comers. "Where's your horse, Jim?" a friend risked. "Sold him." niiii mm: now much did you get?" "Got a hundred dollars for him." "A hundred dollars! Who in thun il r d'd you sell that to for a hun dred dollars?" "Why." replied the Vermonter, as he exhibited a roll of bills, "I sold him to mother." TURKEY STE LEIVS PORTION. One of the recent speakers at the Academy of Music in Roston began by telling of a negro who had ar ranged to furnish a white man with a certain number of turkeys every week. It was expressly stimulated that they should be domestic turkeys, as wild ones In that vicinity were numerous and cheap. The bargain was kept for a time, and things were going well until one day the white man found that one of the turkey's had been rid dled with shot "Here," he yelled at the negro, "what do you "mean by trying to pass this wild turkey on me? I want the kind that comes from the barnyard. Tou must have shot this fellow last night." The negro seemed puzzled for a minute. Then he brightened tip "I kin 'splaln that all right, boss," he said, "that load of shot was meant for me." THE OLD TIME. There Is no time like the old time, when you and .1 were young, When the buds of April blossomed and birds in spring-time sung! The garden's brightest glories by sum mer sun are nursed; But, O! the sweet, sweet violets, the flowers that open first! There is no place like the old place, where you and I were born. Where we lifted up our ijellds unfile splendors of the r.'..u'.i! From the milk-v.hi'- l--.:ir; ':! warmed ns: fvo-n the clinging arms that bore. Where the dear eyes glistened o'er us that will look on us no more. There is no friend like the old friend, who hns shared our morning days! No greeting like his welcome, no homage like his praise! Fame is the scentless flower, with gaudy crown of gold; But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold. There is no love like the old love. that we courted in our pride; Though our leaves are falling, falling, and we're fading side by side: There are blossoms all around us with the colors of the dawn, And we live in borrowed sunshine when the light of day is gone. There are no times like the old time- they shall never be forgot! There Is no place like the old place keep green the dear old spot! There are no friends like the old friends may heaven prolong their lives! There lire nn loves like the old loves God bless our loving wives! O. W. Holmes. A RANKER-LAWYER. (Corvallis' Gazette-Times.) Score one for C. A. Dobell. cashier of the Benton County National bank ho has just been admitted to the bar of Oregon, and if he cared to do so could fling out his shingle and le gally proceed to flim flam the pub lic just as other attorneys do. Mr. Dobell took his examination before the state board a couple of weeks ago and yesterday received a sheepskin sufficiently ornate to entitle him to the presidency of the United States. Like most things of this sort, accord ing to Judge Pipes, it is probably fill ed with "gross exaggeration." but unless Mr. Dobell opens an attorney's office either he nor the public will be able to discover just how great or small is the exaggeration. However, that he managed to pass muster be fore the learned judges at Salem Is considerable and that he had the disposition to wade through a long course dished up by the Scranton Cor respond. nee School of Law, means a great deal. A man's avocation, rath er than his vocation, gives the meas ure of the man, and in this instance l lie use of his spare time proves C. A. Dobell to be made of the right kind of stuff. Dobell could have whiled away his spare time at 500 or "bridge" or at the club, or in loafing, but in stead he went for a course in law. It has taken long and earnest appli cation and that he has finally reach ed the goal he sought is a matter of congratulations. It may be Chief Jus tice Dobell, even yet. OITI I ITKD IN ADE'S AXTIOA'ITY. Outfitted in helmets and ancient ruising irons of wrath from George Ade's collection of antiquities a party of Purdue students visiting the au thor's home, "Hazeldene," with the sheriff, made a sally, and a swoop up on the gypsy camp near th home, and captured five women Monday. The inhabitants of the neighborhood have had trouble with the dark-skinned barbarians, who, while plying their trade of looking into the future at so much per, have slipped sly hands into bureau drawers and handbags for cash. One of the women arrested admitted stealing $29.50. Mr. Ade's motor ear was used as a patrol wagon. Mr. Ade's must uin of ancieuts furnished the weapons. Th crowd of deputies that swarmed the gypsy camp looked more like a strand ei grand opera troupe than Twenti eth Century rah boys, and the Romany tribe accustomed to looking into time thought the past had overtaken them and were awed. They submitted to the invasion and capture. Indianapo lis Sun. Eradicates scrofula and all other humors, cures all their effects, makes the blood rich and abundant, strengthens all the vital organs.

Youth may be more hot-headed than old age, though established the ories on this1 subject have been badly shaken, but there Is no doubt that childhood Is the most conservative of all life-periods. Boys today not only play the same games, or modifica tions of the same games', that were played by boys 2000 years ago, but. what is more to the point, they read the same books that were read by boys 40 years ago. Among the Interesting facts cited by Everett T. Tenilinson in his article on "The Per petual Best-Sellers" in the World's Work, perhaps the most Interesting is the "rapid and steady decline In the sale of the once-famous Hertty books," and the astounding popular ity of the Alger books.' Of the lat ter no less than 10,000.00(1 copies have been sold in 10 years. It will be remembered that Henty's stories were as a rule tied up with a great name In history and dwelt with the military exploits that are supposed to be dear to the boyish heart. It is all the more surprising, and gratify ing, too, that the feats of Clive in In dia, of Napoleon, of Lord Roberts, should hold less appeal to the boys of today than the eyery-tlay human adventure of Paul the peddler, Phil the fiddler, and their numerous kind.
