Not to tell you about the purity of our drugs or the

Nothing is nicer and more valuab'e than a fine collec

If President Belts, of the Eastern
Oregon Woolgrowers' Association,
succeeds in getting the Hon. Binger
Hermann to address the coming
meeting of the association, it will be
a great drawing card for the associ
ation. The forest reserve just now is
a question of much importance and
Mr. Hermann is the best posted per
son in the state on the subject.
The fact that three fires have oc
curred in Pendleton consecutively
and near the same point within a few
days of one another, and that nothing
but spontaneous combustion can be
assigned for tho origin, the opinion
is gaining foothold that a fire-bug is
operating here. Along with the Tra
cys and other representatives of the
shady side of society, it may be that
the fire fiend is trying to build up a
reptttatu?Ji.
The Wallula country is getting to
be the rendezvous of men of the
Tracy type. It is a good point for
them to operate. Being near the state
line and the long distance from offic
ials gives them a lee-way that they
would not have elsewhere. They
may play from state to state and ply
their work without much fear of mo
lestation. The good citizens of that
section should bo protected, if It takes

Hon. Newt Williamson, the new

oeorge E. Roberts director of the
mint, who recently returned to Wash
ington after a visit to Iowa and tho
lake states is reported to have said
mere is the greatest amount of
land speculation going on west of Chi
cago that has ever been known in
that part of tho country. Sluch is
said in the eastern newspapers about
the early start of money westward
the customary dispatch of money
West to facilitate the movement of
the crops. I believe the country
banks are loaning a good deal of
money on these land enterprises, and
that this is really the secret of the
early movement of money westward.
The people are verywhere organizing
syndicates to buy land, and that there
is hardly a cross roads community in
Iowa that has not organized a syndi
cate to operate in the Dakotas or in
Canada."
Stories of this drift of population
toward the Northwest are now fam
iliar, and they can no longer be look
ed upon as- exaggerations. It may
seem strange that thousands of Amer
icans should move out of their own
country to Canada In search of homes
but that they aro doing so is seeming
ly indisputable. It is true that a
short time ago the British Under Sec
retary for tho Colonies stated In the
Commons that the number of Ameri
can settlers in tho Northwestern
provinces of Canada Is not so great
as has been reported, but oven ho es
timated there would be something
like 25,000 such settlers there this
year. That Is quite a largo number.
Largo enough at any rate to lead Cal-
Ifornlans to wonder why so many
Americans go to that comparatively
bleak country when thousands of
acres aro avauanio for colonization
In California.
It may be that the settlers In tho
Northwest are seeking wheat lands
because they do not know enough
about tho orchard or vineyard indus
try to venture upon it, and have an
idea that California is fitted for noth
ing else. Possibly we should pay
more attention to advertising our at
tractions for farmers who wish to en
gage in tho growing of grain, tho
breeding of cattle and dairying. It
would do no harm at any rate to have
if known In tho East that tho oppor
tunities for farmers In California
cover every form of rural Industry,
and that any one who comes can
readily find tho right soli and ell
