TUESDAY, MAY 27, 1902.
Because of the unreliability cf its
political news the Portlaud Oregon
Ian has secured the reputation of be
ing the political yellow dog of Ore
gon journalism. The country press
of Oregon excels this big paper in its
reports of the political happenings
and in the fairness and reliability
thereof.
The democratic candidate for jus
tice of the peace for Pendleton dis
trict is A. W. Nye. He is eminently
-fitted for the office. He is a pioneer
citizen, a deserving man, one who
' has done much to develop the coun
try, having seen it grow from a wild
erness to the present condition. Mr.
Nye is a fair-minded, justice loving
man and would attend to the duties
of the office to which he aspires
with great faithfulness. And every
body knows that Ad. Nye, as he is
familiarly known, will be true to
duty and to those who trust and
confide in him. eH really deserves
to be elected justice of the peace,
along with J. M. Bentley, the demo
cratic candidate for constable.
Tammany hall is "headless" just
now. If it could remain so it would
be better for the democratic party,
which the society attempts to serve
while it succeeds in serving itself.
Tammany was organized as n demo
cratic institution, but it has fallen
from its high estate in seeking foi
the spoils of office. Those who be
lieve in the cause of democracy
most believe in the spoils system
least Men, even in politics, who
have to be rewarded before they can
perform a duty do not amount to
much. democratic organization
should not be expected to pay a divi
dend in money, and this is what
most of those interested in Tammany
expect, and why, if it should die, it
would be best for the country.
ngaints his protest. If he receives
a call to duty he will serve his con
stituents faithtully, as he is a man
who never overlooks a duty. Mr
Reser, another candidate for repre
sentative, is a resident of the east
end of the county and a very able
and capable man. With Dr. Smith,
Mr. Reser, Mr. Blakley and W. P.
Matlock and W. M. Pierce, democrat
ic candidate for joint senator from
Union, Morrow and Umatilla coun
ties, in the legislature the people or
these counties would be fully equip
ped to obtain their rights. They
would form an able crew for the ship
of state and do good work for the
people. They are men identified
with large ai.alrs and prominent in
community interests. They are tru
ly representative citizens and would
exert influence that would be sure
to bring results. If everyone of them
were elected this part of Eastern
Oregon would have representation at
Salem not excelled by any other section.
THE FUTURE OF WHEAT.
Hon. H. W. Corbett informs the
people through the press that the
Lewis & Clark Centennial is not to
be drawn into politics and confound
ed with the success or defeat of any
of the candidates for office on eith
er ticket, as the Oregonian unwisely
has done. Mr. Corbott speaks forci
bly concerning the matter and makes
himself well understood, as his letter
already published In the East Ore
gonian testifies. When it was print
ed in the Oregonian, that defeat of
the republican ticket In Oregon
would threaten the success of this
national enterprise, a stupid blunder
was committed, but the Oregonian
Is not any too wise politically and
should be forgiven. The editor-in-chief
of this great paper needs to
keep a tighter rein on those who
write to fill space in its columns, for
they are prone to say things that do
not appear well in print and have an
opposite effect to what is intended.
This reference to the Lewis &
Clark fair holonged under tWs head.
It was simply an exhibition of news
paper stupidity.
The democrats have an excollont
legislative ticket. Dr. C. J. Smith
for senator, E. A. Reser and W. M,
Blakley for representatives and W.
P. Matlock for Joint representative
from Umatilla and Morrow counties.
Mr. Matlock has beon a member of
the legislature before, having sorved

peared before the house committee
on irrigation lands at Washington
and from his remarks on that occa
sion we take the lollowing:
The mutual dependence of irriga
tion and Oriental trade is a fertile
theme. As commissioner of the
chamber of commerce of San Fran
cisco, I studied the trade conditions
of the Orient, inspected the farming
lands of eastern Siberia, followed
the Trans-Siuerian railway route
from Vladivostock to St. Petersburg,
and learned the probable influence
of that 0,000 miles of railroad on the
Pacific coast trade and products.
It has been assumed by many po
litical economists and writers that
the railway would develop vast areas
of wheat land in wnstprn Siliprln
and that wheat from that section
would injure, it" not wholly ruin, the
Oriental trades for our cereals. In the
forests of Siberia, especially those
bordering the Amur river and its
tributaries, many publicists saw an
equally deplorable menace to the
lumber interests of the Pacific
Coast. My mission was to produce
and present the facts bearing on
these great interests, to mirror the
situation and prospects, through an
independent invesncation and mnko
the proper predictions.
Eastern Siberia has an area of
132.000 Sniiara milps n nnnnlnHnn nf
1,328,150, and comprises mountains,
plains, rivers and valleys. The Alta

ia consist, for tho most part, of two
plateaus ;the larger one, near Blag
govostchensk, on the Amur river, is
five hundred miles squarcr and tho
other, lying between that city and
Vladivostock, is two hundred miles
square. These figures are liberal
approximations.
a
The wasteful system of farming
i has leased tho available farming
area. Certain lands aro sown every
year without interruption and with-,
out manure. After six or eight crops
have been raised from the field and
its growing power exhausted, fresh
land Is sown. Spring wheat, spring
rye, oats, buckwheat, rml a small
amount of bnrley, maize and millet
represent the grain .products. The
grain, especially the -wheat., is of
inferior quality and the percentage
of starch is small. The Siberian
flour is far less nutritious than that
imported from the Pacific Coast.
California wheat sown in Siberia
yields the Inferior Siberian grain.
The climate is at fault. The dry,
small and shriveled wheat sown in
California yield California wheat.
In the opinion of experts this clear
ly shows the fault is with the Siber
ian climate. The winters of the
Amur river region are practically
snowless and the temperature is low.
Under favoring conditions and with
larger cultivated area Eastern Siber
ia cannot, in my judgment, impair
in any nprec'.able degree the Asiatic
markot of the Pacific coast cereals.
The discriminating tariff on flour In
retaliation of our countervailing duty
on sugar has inured to the disadvant
age of our flour market in Asiatic
Russia. The other portions of Rus
sia are as available as ever, and no
cereal product of 'Siberia will ever
interfere with their demand for
American flour. The fact is import
ant when we reflect that the increas
ing tonnage of the Pacific ocean will
furnish larger and cheaper shipping
facilities for our Oriental trade. Our
interest is in the Siberian cereal
as a factor in the Oriental trade
problem rather than in the details of
farming. And yet the details are ne
cessarily a part of uie exhibit. They
furnish the facts through which we
reach the verdict.
When I passed up the Amur and
Shilka rivers the landings were
marked by piles of sacked flour from
Washington, Oregon and California.
The bread on sale was made of mix
ed American and Siberian flour. The
popular idea that Siberia, especially
eastern Siberia, is a fertile belt, and
with intelligent farming will yield a
vast amount of wheat, is as for from
the truth as the previous popular
idea that Siberia is a block of ice on I
which convicts, police and polar
bears struggle for the mastery. In I
summer the banks of the Amur and
tributary rivers are dotted with wild
flowers, grasses grow lush, and the
traveler sees signs of surpassing fer
tility. The signs are more apparent
than real. There is no clearly de
fined spring, the summer season is
short, no friendly blanket of snow
wraps the land in winter, and the
climatic conditions that favor wild
flowers are not necessarily favorable
to wheat.
The encyclopedic articles on the
timber resources of Siberia are mis
leading in that they teach the read
ev to think that Siberia abounds in
large trees. The forests of that
country are as vast as the authorities
state, and for days and nights the
traveler rides on the railway through
a dense growth of pines, fir.s aud
birches. The trees are slender as a
rule, and in that portion of Siberia
east of Lake Baikal, nearly all the
trunks are the right size for use in
building log houses. There is no
longer a superabundance of lumber
along the -Amur river and its tribu
taries. The fuel demands of the
steamers on this river system have
exhausted the timber within easy
reach of the river; and in this, as in
other parts of eastern Siberia, for
est conservation is rigorously enforc
ed. The largest single shipment of

There are some men who seem to be
favorites of fortune. They are indus
trious, cheerful workers, mil to over
flowing of the energy of splendid health,
and success seems fairly to drop into
their hands. It is of such as these that
the less hardy
and less success
ful man says
enviously,
"That fellow
was born with a
gold spoon in
his mouth."
And yet on
analysis it will
be found that
this success is
larcelv due to
splendid health, the endowment of a
healthy mother.
Dr. Pierce's Pavorite Prescription gives
the mother health to give her child. It
cures nervousness, nausea and sleepless
ness. It makes the body comfortable and
the mind content. It gives physical
vigor and muscular elasticity so that the
baby's advent is practically painless.
"I will endeavor Xo tell you of the many
benefits I have derived from taking- Dr. Pierce's
favorite Prescription," writes Mrs. 11 B. Robert
son, of Medicine Lodge, Barber Co.. Kans. "In
the fall of I was expecting to become a
mother an J suffered terribly with pains in the
back of bead ; in fact I ached all over. Suffered
with awful bearing-down paius; I was threat
ened for weeks with mUliap. A lady friend
told me to use Dr. Pierce's medicines. She had
taken them and felt like a new woman. I began
usiug- the ' Favorite Prescription ' nud took four
bottles before my baby came and two after
wards. I suffered almost death with my other
two children, but hardly realized that I was
kick when this baby was born aud she weighed
twelve and one-quarter pounds. She is now
eleven months old and has never known an
hour's sickness; at present she weighs thirty
seven pounds. I owe it all to Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription."
"Favorite Prescription" makes weak
women strong, ana sick women well.
Accept no substitute for the medicine
which works wonders for weak women.

In invading the Asiatic market
the United States has been under
great disadvantage. The proMn ti
of the Pacific coast to the Orient has
been more than offset by the super
lor shipping facilities enjoyed by the
European nations. Under tho Rang
ed ami changing conditions of ocean
transportation, this superiority mu
sneedllv disappear. In 1S99 sixtj
three per cent, of the total annual
ade of China was with the British
and although Great Britain cot. d
not show the same relative gain n
Chinese trade that was credited to
the United States, that country
could partially console Itself with
the knowledge that sixty-one per
cent of the tonnage entering un
nese ports flew the British flag.
European domination of Chinese
trade has all along been due, in a
great measure, to a shipping advan
tage that is about to pass away.
August Schieve was convicted of
the murder of Joseph Schtilkowski
at St. Helen's. The jury returned a
verdict of murder in the first degree,
after deliberating since Saturday af
ternoon. Schrieve was convicted
purely upon circumstancial evidence,
but the chain of evidence was so
strong that the alibi offered by the
defense proved futile. The murder
was committed for robbery.
