Different paits of this section
were visited hy heavy rain
storms Sunday and Tuesday.
They will benefit the gardens
very materially.
A few fellows without a clear
insight into the peculiar fitness
of things are agitating changing
the nickname of Oregon from
the "Webfoot" state to the
"Rose" state. Of course Web
foot does not sound so poetic or
sentimental as Kofce, but it
should be remembered that if ii
were not for the bounteous
rains of Oregon there would be
no' roses, and we would h,ave no
light to the name of Webfoot.
We fellows with webs 'tween
our toes have a sort of affection
for the old name which nothing
new could occasion.
Hon. W. W. Cotton, of Port
land, who was named by Presi
dent Roosevelt for the vacancy
in the federal judgeship in Ore
gon, created by the death of
Judge Bellinger, has declined
the appointment. Mr. Cotton
has for a number of j'ears been
chief counsel for the Havriman
lines in the Northwest, and it is
probable Mr. Harriman lias of
feied him sufficient induce
ments to remain in the rail
road's service. The position of
chief counsel for the 0. R. &
X. is one of considerable prom
inence atid importance, and Mr.
Cotton doubtless did not feel
justified in resigning it to ac
cept a place on the federal
bnch.
PARABLE OF THE TALENTS.
1 Hegonian: A company has been in
corporated in Seattle with a capital of
3500,000 to develop some valuable min
wg property in Southern Oregon. Within
a few miles of Grants Pass alone, there
are a dozen fine dividend paying mining
properties owned by Seattle, Spokane,
I'enverand California mining men. Pott
land capital is a little too busy with 5 and
6 per cent mortgages ever to pay any at
tention to this great mining industty
which is making so many outsiders rich,
but it occasionally finds a dumping ground
in wilo cat schemes in faraway lands, from
winch no dividends have yet returned.
Yes. Why does not Portland
build a railroad into Central
Oregon and get the vast traffic
and trade of this section? A
railioad from deep water at
Fori land through Central Ore
gon would be one of the safest
investments that could be made.
But, it will likely be the old
"partible of the talents" re
peated: Seattle and California
capitalists are using their tal
Mits by making investments in
this state which are securing
the trade, while Portland capi
talists are griping their talent
tight, and all the while plead
ing for some one else to build
their .railroads for them.
grees of Thursday, Friday and
Saturday was not oppressive
and no one stopptj. work for a
moment for it. -
Such heat, even in Portland,
would Ut the city out of busi
ness and in the East would kill
off entire cities like r,a.ts.
So 114 in tUe aha.de in East
ern Qregon need qoi horify a,oy
one. It i,s aot tii, oppressive,
weakening heat. The Uigh al
titude and light, dry, clea, ai,r
permits, people to breath and
labor, without difficulty., Not a
solitary prostration litis been
reported. S 11 n stroke is t,u.-.
known. Deaths from heat have
never been entered upon the
mortality lists of any Eastern
Oregon county, and tornadoes,
cyclones and; thyrider storms of
awful severity which accom
pany such heat in the East, are
unknown in Oregon.
THE CHINESE PERIV..
Ka.-t OrvgouUn..
If, under the pressure of an
alleged boycott of American
goods in China x th,e President is
brought to advocate a modifica
tion of tho Chinese exclusion
act, he will make the greatest
mistake of his administration,
and will inflict a blight upen
the country which it wilt be
almost impossible to again
remove.
The trusts and big .manufac
turers of the East are urging the
modification of the exclusion
act,- on the grounds that it is an
unjust law and is detrimental
to American iuterests.
The President is inclined to
listen to their pleading and it is
possible that the limit of the act
will be extended to admit cer
tain alleged "better" classes into
this country.
The Pacific Coast knows by
actual touch with the Chinese
his utter unfitness for citizen
ship in this country The pro
test against the extension ol
the exclusion net should be so
stronir and eniDhatic that there
would be no misunderstanding
of its meaning.
The boycott amount to noth
ing. China Will be forced to
buy American goods. She can
ret the same suDDlies nowhere
else. It is a bluff, but will be
expanded into grave dangei
by Chinese sympathizers. Bni
it is not as dangerous to the
United States as the extension
of the exclusion act would be.

HEAT IS NOT SEVERE.
Kant Ort-goulan.
"If we should experience 110
degrees in the shade in Pitts
burg as you have in Pendleton
today, there would be no one
alive in Pittsburg tomorrow to
tell the tale,", said a Pennsyl
vania tourist who spent Sunday
in Pendleton.

Some Wholesome Truths,
Uend Ilutlctln.
Do 3'ou know a town where
the citizens are consumed with
petty jealousies and won't trust
each other or pull together for
their town ? If so, kiiow a weak
community, no matter what its
resources and advantages may
be. Do you know a town
where the people stand together
as a unit, have faith in them
selves and their neighbors and
pull all the time for the welfare
of the community and take
pride in it? If so, you know a
town that is strong and will
succeed, no matter what its re-
tfouvces and advantages may be. ,
Booms do not abide, prosperity
may not always be equal, bnt !
when a community stands to
gether it can accomplish sur
prising results. When all in
terests stand together a town is
like a cube, square no matter
on which side tt rests it is right
side up.

Prineville Review: J. W.
Bledsoe has a work of art that
will cause a deal of comment
when it is placed Upon, exhibi
tion at tho Lewis & Clark Fair.
It is a photo, and a good one,
of the Deschutes Valley taken
from Powell Buttes. The pic
ture is. 12x40 inches in size
made from three separate
plates accurately joined, and
the view covers a scope of at
least 25 miles, or from Smith
rock on the north to Pilot Butte
on the south. A better view of
the now unproductive .valley
was never takfcn, its desert
character beijig plainly shown
in the photo. Mr. Bledsoe is
proud of his woik "Well he
may be. In.a few days tho pic
