IMPROVE THE POOR FARM.
Umatilla county owns the poor
farm, and it must put it in condition
to yield the most profit on the invest
ment. and be of the highest efficiency
in the purpose for which it tu in-
tended.
The present quarters can be sold
and the proceeds applied to making
the Chapman place the best equipped
farm in Umatilla county. Nothing
short of this will satisfy those who
believe in county poor farms. The
county should own the best, most
productive, most profitable piece of
property in the county.
No expense must be spared, now
since the farm is bought. The only
complaint ever made on the poor
farm proposition, was the initial
cost Nobody denies the excellence
of the farm, and now that the county
owns the farm, the people are unani
mous in demanding that this excel
lence be utilized for their advantage.
In Umatilla county is not found a
more desirable building place, for
such buildings as will be needed, than
is found on the hill, near the road,
just east of the orchard, on the poor
farm.
High, dry, sightly, healthful, well
situated for drainage, convenient to
the main roads, easy of access to all
portions of the farm, it is an ideal
site for the house and hospital build
ing or inmates' quarters.
While the farm is in a high state
of cultivation, it can still be improv-
ed. It can be stocked with good
furnished
breeds of farm animals,
with labor-saving tools and turned in
to a bee hive of industry, by the la
bor of those who are not helpless and
who would naturally enjoy a life of
light labor on a farm.
Near the best market in Eastern
Oregon, it can be made the official
market garden and granary of Uma
tilla county, It can utilize every foot
of land, and every hour of time, in
some useful and profitable product,
Beautiful in the summer season, its
artificial lakes, groves and lawns can
be more elaborately prepared and be
made a Mecca. In future, as it has
been to a great extent, in the past, for
the tired city, thirsting for an hour of
recreation in some country nook.
The quicker the new quarters are
built and the old poor farm disposed
of, the more profitable it will be for
the county. Two farms are not

which follows, should receive the
earnest consideration of the board of
education:
Whereas. The public school Is the
only Institution actually employed in
the education of the masses, and
Whereas, a very large per cent of
the children receive all the education
they ever acquire in said public
school, and
Whereas. The course of study now
employed in the public schools of this
state requires so much work on the
part of the child, that the essential
branches are not and cannot be well
learned, and
Whereas. The number of books
now in use in said course of Instruc-
tlon in said public sehools is exces-
aive and a financial burden upon the
people of the state.
Therefore. Be it resolved by the
senate, the house concurring, that the
state board of education be. and is
hereby earnestly requested to so re
vise the course of Instruction now in
use in the public schools of this state,
a« to reduce the amount of work and
give special attention to the branches
that will be of most value to the
children in pursuing the different av
ocations of life.
And that it is the sense of the leg
islature that the public schools of the
state should be encouraged and fost
ered by every means in our power.
WHERE INVESTIGATION HURTS.
W. H. O’Dell, former clerk of the
state land board ,who has been prom
inently connected with Oregon school
land, lieu land and swamp land trans
actions during the term of Governor
Geer, is out with an 80-page pamph
let, denouncing the Investigations of

with malice, and executed with crim-
Inal stupidity."
It *111 require more than 80 pages
of vile names, and empty assertions,
to convince the people of Oregon that
there has been no crookedness in the
land transactions of this state during
the past four years.
O’Dell nor State Land Agent Geer,
may neither be guilty of it This is
for the Investigating committee to
say. But white hot denunciation of
a
properly authorized committee,
which sought the truth, in the inter
est of the people, will not lessen the
suspicion now established in the
mind of every man in Oregon ac
quainted with the facts, that there
wax something wrong in the state
land office and the state land trans-
actions.
The people may be denounced,
an envious, malicious, stupid set by
the parasites who are disturbed in
their blood-sucking processes, but,
right usually comes uppermost and
justice is always done. Crookedness
convicts itself If given time.

SAVE OREGON'S FORESTS.
The statement Is made by San

lumber In the rough. Is now worth
321 per thousand in that city. Six
months ago the same lumber in that
market was worth but $12 per thous
and and it may be said that this in
crease in price, represents the rap-
idity with which the resources of Or-
egon forests are passfng away from
the people.

With music, kisses, love and flowers.

had gone hard, and w-ho at last decid

this message to a friend on the eve
of her departure: “So will I journey

Tropical climes with their wealth
of shrubbery and sunlight have never
lacked for appreciative pens to de
scribe their charm, but the Arctlca,
too. have their charm as witness the
following pen picture from a wander
er In the Far North: “A grander
scene than our bay by moonlight,
can hardly be conceived: it Is more
dreamlike and supernatural than a
combination of earthly features. The
moon is nearly full and the drawing
sunlight mingling with hers. Invents
everything with an atmosphere of
ashy grey
It clothes the gnarled
hills that make the horizon of our

up the rest of our field of view. Ris

Mr. Baer Mr President Baer has

time about tbe Civic Federation, and
Oscar 8. Strauss a prominent mem
ber of the federation replies: “I regret

Without some decisive action on
the part of the national government,
the forests of the Pacific Coast will
be stripped from the mountains, with

at which lumber is being sent out
of the state, and at which tbe destruc
tive forest fires are denuding the
mountains, is alarming
Last year
over $4,000,000 worth of aamage was
done to Oregon forests by fire. The
amount of lumber manufactured was
one billion feet, valued at $10.000,000.
The total value of the standing
timber in the state is estimated at
$250,000.0**0. Each year the amount
consumed by fire and removed by
the lumber trade is increasing.
In
1902 the value of forests thus remov
ed was $14.000,000. At this rate of
decrease, with no systematic efforts
to replenish forest areas, the present
supply will last but eighteen years.
Oregon is not yet at the prime of
her industrial life. Twenty years will
be but a beginning for the splendid
resources of the state. Yet the ruth
less slaughter of that priceless treas
ure goes on, furiously.
What effort is being made to secure
the future? What provision do we
find in the creed of today, for the
safety of tomorrow?
The people will have need of for-
eats in Oregon after the government
shall have ended its extravagant
practise of forest denudation.
The forest reservation must be in
stituted to protect that people in
their rights. The generations that
are to perpetuate the excellence of
this state, will deplore the short
sighted policy of their nineteenth cen
tury forefathers ,who destroyed with
out rebuilding, the heritage that na-
ture gave them.
