There is ever a song somewhere, my dear; There is ever something sings alway; There's the song of the lark when the skies are clear. And the song of the thrush when the skies are gray. The sunshine showers across the grain, And the bluebird trills in the orchard tree; And in and out, when the eaves drip rain, The swallows are twittering ceaselessly. There Is ever a song somewhere my dear, Be the skies above or dark or fair. There is ever a song that our hearts may hear, There is ever a song somewhere, my dear There is ever a song some where! There is ever . song some where, my dear. In the midnight black, or the midday blue The robin pipes when the sun is here. And the cricket chirrups the whole night through. The buds may blow and the fruit may grow. And the autumn leaves drop crisp and sere; But whether the sun, or the rain, or the snow, There Is ever a song some where, my dear. James Whitcomb Riley. REGULATION' MUST COME. According to the local manager for the Pacific telephone company the editorial statement made Tuesday to the effect that rates on rural phones had been raised from $3 to $7.20 was not entirely accurate. He says that only upon one line, the Birch creek line, was such an advance made. On the other .jural lines the company was already charging $5.40 per an num so the advance was from that figure to $7.20 not from $3 to $7.20. Mr. Wells also calls attention to the fact that the company gives a ten per cent discount for cash and he points out that the advance In charges was made in accordance with a sched ule that called for such an advance whenever 1000 stations were in use upon the line. He says no further in crease will now be made until there are 2000 stations in use. All of these facts are given here for what they are worth and in a spir it of fairness. But they do not affect In the slightest the merits of the ar gument for having the telephone bus iness of this state regulated by the railroad commission or some other public service commission. What if the Pacific company's 100 per cent Increase did apply to only the Birch creek line? What if the Increase was already partly In effect on the other lines leading Into Pen dieton? What If the increase was made in accord-wee with a certain schedule? Who knows that any increase at all In rates was Justified. Who knows but that rates should have been lowered Instead of advanced? Who knows that the Pacific company's schedule of prices Is a properly arranged schedule and Is fair to patrons of the company? Nobody knows but the company It self and the company Is an Interest ed party. The company has a natur al monopoly. At the present time 1 can practically adopt any rates it sees fit and give any sort of service It sees fit. It can then tell Its sub scribers to pay the price or get off the earth. The patrons have no redress for If they were to bring on a com peting company they would only make . the situation worse and the telephone company knows this. This la why the East Oregonian urges that the state railroad commis sion or some other commission should be given power to regulate the rates and the service of telephone pomnanlea. There should be some- body, having power to gain informa tion and to enforce Its orders, to stand between the telephone monopoly and the people. That such a commission will be created in time is Inevitable. If provison is not made for it by tho present legislature then some future legislature will tnke action or else a measure will be enacted by the people themselves under the initiative.. All corporations that have natural mo nupolies and so cannot be regulatej by competition must be regulated by Lthe government. Without such reg ulation corporations having monopo lies are free to go as far as they like with reference to charges. It is hu man nature for men to make all the money they can and telephone com panies are owned by human beings. SllOVLI) HE 11AISKI) 11KKE. Yesterday the East Oregonian had a news story showing that a shipment of 90 head of hogs worth $2000, had just been purchased in Union county by a local meat company. The hogs were bought in Union county because they were not to be had here. This naturally raises the question as-- to why local farmers Jo not raise more hogs. It Is a profitable Indus try. Dr. James Wlthycombe, direc tcr of the state experiment station, has pointed out that when wheat Is fed to hogs and sold in the form of livestock farmers may obtain about i twice as much for their grain as when they sell it as wheat. An even better plan, so it Is assert ed by experts, is for people to ralsa a crop of field peas every alternate year and feed the same to hogs. The field peas may be raised on summer fallow years and by raising them far mers may obtain annual Instead of biennial crops. Doubtless in time more hogs will be raised in Umatilla county and It wont be necessary for local butchering houses to go abroad for porkers. LOCAL MEN CONTROL. By an overwhelming majority the state senate voted yesterday to cre ate a state highway commission. So It begins to look like the propoganda of the state good roads associatiou will be put through. In addressing the senate the other day Judge Webster, Dr. Andrew C. Smith and other speakers pointed out that one feature of the highway com mission bill has been misunderstood. They showed that the highway board and commissioner will not locate roads nor will they expend the money se cured from the state or from the counties. The county authorities lo cate the roads and spend the money. The highway board and commission er give direction and advice as to the scientific construction of roads In the various counties. Does not this remove much of the local objection to the plan of the state good roads association? Pendleton high school girls have put the ban on rats, puffs and pow der. Good work. If they only know itjhe P. H. S girls look fine without any of that stuff anyway. Artificial beautifiers are for the aged, not the young. From reading Salem date line stor ies now current one would suppose the legislature had been turned Into an Organization for the Muckraking of Political Enemies and for the Knif ing of Institutions that Don't Stand in. David Graham Phillips was killed by a young aristocrat who had read one of Phillips' books and resented the arraignment of his class. Seem ingly the author's life became part ot "The Cost." Governor West has placed Mr. Huntington In the Oregon Ananias Club where he plainly belongs. If Huntington wanted to expose, someone he should have taken after a man who is crooked. Oswald West is not. Roosevelt approves of the progres sive republican league. Now If too many others dont Joint it will be al right. Every snowflake that falls In Uma tilla county these days has to strug gle with a sunbeam. TO FEED BABY SEALS. A prey to the greed and rapacity of many nations ror aecaae arter ae cade, the fur seals of Behrlng Sea seemed on the verge of complete ex termination but the remarkable ac complishment of one man, and he neither a scientist nor yet a diplo mat, promises to conserve the Pribllof rookeries for all future time, provid ing the United States government gives proper employment to the knowledge It has gained. With the fisheries bureau at Wash fngton, D. C are eleven Infant seals, brought down from Bering Sea on the last voyage of the Bear, and they are thriving so well that the fisheries of ficials are convinced the key to the salvation of the northern herds Is In their hands. And credit for this Is due to no other than the revenue cut ter's kindly bo'sn, J. Thurber. who loves the seals as fellow-creatures and who knows more about them and their habits "than all the rest of us put together," as the officers of the Bear proudly assert. Left alone upon the rocky shores of the bleak Pribllof Islands the moth erless young seals have no hope be fore thin but death, as the social reg ulations of the rookeries as carefully governed as a hive of bees or a hill of ants prevents any otner seal moth er from giving nourishment to the orphan. Experiments have been made frequently suckling the baby seals upon milk bottles, but these have met with small success. Bo'sn Thur ber found that by snapping a ligament in the mouths of the young animals and working with their gums to aid the progress of the growing teeth, the youngsters were enabled to eat fish and other solid foods and can be made to grow as rapidly as they do amid native environments. While the federal goverinent cannot keep the Japanese sealers more than three miles away from the rookeries it can at least take care of seals that are orphaned by 'the slaughter of thi mothers, and eventually will find it self repaid for the outlay, as the pelt of every seal is worth $40 In the Lon don fur market. From ''To Save the Seal," in February Technical World Magazine. WHAT'S IN M'CIA'KES. The leading feature in the Febru ary McClure's is the first installment of the series of true detective stories. "Great Cases of Detective Burns," re corded by Dana Gntlin. Burns Is un questionably the most famous detec tive in the United States, and these stories of his most interesting cases are told In his own words. The first of thi-se, "How Abe Ituef Confessed," Is a story of the famous San Fran cisco graft prosecutions. "The Case of the Reporter," by Hugo Munster berg, deals with the methods of the newspaper reporters. Professor Munsterberg as a noted psychologist is considered good "copy," and his account of the sentational distortions and the faked interviews which the newspapers have printed about his work is an especially interesting ex ample of the inaccuracy and the ex aggerations of the press. The ar ticle on "Women Laundry Workers," by Edith Wyatt and Sue Ainslie Clark, is composed of the reports of of Miss Carola Woerishofer, Miss Elizabeth Howard Westwood, and Miss Mary Alden Hopkins, who have made a thorough investigation of the con ditions existing in lthe commercial, hotel and hospital laundries in New York. Burton J. Hendrick's second article on "The Mormon Revival of Polygamy" gives many instances of polygamous marriages that have ta ken place since the manifesto was is sued and proves positively that plur al marriages are now the rule among the Mormons, and that they are sanc tioned by the Mormon church. "Crit ical Moments with Wild Animals," by Ellen Velvin, in this number of Mc Clure's is an interesting account of the training of wild animals for cir cus and animal shows. The special feature in the February number Is "Innocencio," by Rex Beach, a dra matic adventure story of the Carri bean Sea, one of the strongest pieces of writing.

The supreme court of Georgia has rendered a decision sustaining the constitutionality of the state law pass ed In 1908 requiring, the railroads to equip all of their locomotives with electric headlights. It was given In a test case, the Atlantic Coast line having refused to obey the law and upon conviction of its violation was fined $250. . We should respect all conditions that help to mold our Judgment. The basis of all success and ac complishment Is self-confidence. Utterly Wretched Nervous Prostration Long Endured Before Remedy was Found. Miss Minerva Remlnger, Upper Bern, Pa., writes: "For several years I had nervous prostration, and was utterly wretched. I lived on bread and beef tea because my stomach would not re tain anything else. I took many rem edies, but obtained no relief until I took Hood's Sarsaparllla, when I began to gain at once. Am now cured." Pure, rich blood makes good, strong nerves, and this Is why Hood's Siirsu parllla, which purines and enrlche the blood, cures so many nervous diseases.

Steam stump pulling machines are rapidly becoming the "painless dent ists" of tho northern woods. Follow ing In the wake of lumber crews they are turning stumpy fields Into fertile farms and reclaiming a vast empire of formerly wooded prosperity. Al though in operation buti a short time one machine, working in Rusk coun ty, northern Wisconsin, has cleared as high as four and five acres a day. As a steady diet, however, the ma chine does not devour the stumpage of more than one or two acres a day. It does it at a cost of not more than fifteen or twenty dollars an acre, while the average cost heretofore, by horse operated pulling machine, has been thirty-five dollars an acre. The situation In the "cleared" por tions of the heavily wooded states of the country has not been without Its pathetic side. The noble monarchs of the forest were first marked for slaughter; then the logging crews passed on. In their wake, as the trees disappeared before the commercial ra pacity of men, followed crews not above cutting smaller trees, leaving behind them a stump studded field barren of all save the striplings and the windfalls.
