DRUGGISTS
MONDAY, MARCH 2, 1903
I shall die regretting. I have
always desired the happiness of
my people and have done every
thing in my power to contribute
to this aim. I can say with truth
thai the first wife of Napoleon
never caused a tear to How. I
would rather wear this sweet
thought in my heart than to bo
decorated with all the jeweled
baubles of victory the kings of
the world might bestow. Last
"words of Empress Josephine.

"Hello; who's this?"
"Portland. Say, Echo, send mo a
trainload of peaches, 5,000 tons of al

trains of sheep and enough flour to
load four ships. Hurry up, as China
is waiting for breakfast and Alaska's

r .IRRIGATION IN EARNEST.
Umatilla aiul Morrow counties are

the United St ates government should
select its first s,te for an Irrigation
scheme in Oreg on 5,1 tlie verv heart
of the arid distrit 't of these two coun
ties, is of itself a toUen of triumph.

sual dignity.
To the prosperity which aheadi '
anrlnKs from a eron of 4.0GO,00&
rhushels of wheat in this county, a hair
million tons of alfalfa hay and a U
fruit crop which now finds its way
to every market in tho civilized world,
will be added the splendid income
from 1,000 farms in this tract of arid
land.
I-ow lying hills and rolling prairie.
.advantageously situated for perfect
.systems of irrigation, bordered on the
south with a range of buttes that
offer excellent sites for reservoirs, in
a climate unsurpassed in the West,
touching shoulders with "land that
now produces five tons of alfalfa
each year, tho Echo government Ir
rigation reservation promises tho
greatest returns to Oregon of any re
source of like magnitude in the his
tory of tho state, if it is properly
utilized.
There is cause for a Just pride on
tho part of tho people of Eastern
Oregon in the solectlon of this cholco
tract of arid land. Tho Irrigation
project necessary to reclaim this body
of desert land will demonstrate tho
worth of government Irrigation. This
is perhaps a more thoroughly repre
sentative tract of arid land than
could be found at any other point in
Eastern Oregon.
Tho plan of reclamation which sue-
ceeds in bringing fertility and pro
ductiveness to this, may be success
fully applied to any other section in
hte state.
ON THE BORDERS OF SAVAGERY,
The Indian is standing in the open
door between savagery and civiliza
tion. The government and the olli
cials are trying to pull him through
into the better life and clearer at
mosphere of good citizenship and the
whisky peddler is pulling him back
ward into barbarism.
The contact with good Influences,
the result of schools, training, moral
advancement and other elevating ten
dencies are all destroyed by the sel
fish mercenary who sells an Indian
enough whisky for 25 cents to cause
untold damage. This man is more
dangerous than the Indian. Ho is
more to bo feared in society. He
knows that the weakness of the In
dian is a profitable source of revenue
and he takes advantage of It.
What cares he for the community?
What to him, Is good order, or good
citizenship? What to him, the efforts
of officials and governments to better
the moral conditions?
Money is his God and to get money
his creed. Ho willfully endangers the
community, in his trade. He tears
down faster than the civilizing influ
ences of the land can possibly build
up. He is like the manufacturer of
the wooden idol, who defies the com
munity, laughs in the face of the of
ficial and collects a tribute from the
unthinking race that appeals to the
white man for enlightenment instead
of degradation.
The Dally East Oregonian begins
Its sixteenth year with today's issue.
A pioneer in the rank of pioneer In
stitutions of Pendleton, it has wit
nessed the transformation of tills
city from scarcely more than a coun
try village in March, 1887, to the me
tropolis and distributing point of
Eastern Oregon, in March 1903. Prom
a struggling four-page infant, tho
Dally East Oregonian has grown to
Its present proportions, appreciating
at every step tho steadily increasing
patronage It has enjoyed. Tho fu
ture is brighter today than ever. Pen
dleton, Umatilla county, and Oregon
give promise of greater growth with
in tho next five years, than in any
iiko period in their history and tho
doctrlno of progress and fearlessness
and a watchful defense of the rights
of tho people will continue to ho the
policy of the East Oregonlnn
In fit-
nre, as it has in tho ttast.
President Roosevelt has called an
extra session of tho United States
senate to conveno at noon, on Thurs
day, March 5, Tho Cuban reciproci
ty treaty Is to bo ratified, the now
senators sworn in, and tho Panama
canal is to recofve tho sanction of the
senate at tills session. There will ho
some excellent opportunities for tho
Western memlers to show their
hands in the discussion of the canal
question.
The citizens of tho Milton road dis
trict have subscribed $1,G00 to be ex
pended In conjunction with tlw coun
ty court in finishing a pieco of road
with crushed rock. This is a most
public spirited movement on tho part
of the people and tho court and more
of this kind of road building is need
ed, While the county feels tho need
of oxpenslvo road work in many lo
calities, tho people recognizo the fact
that road funds aro not inexhaustible.
Ex-Governor Geer and the Salem
Journal are just now sottllng tho ex
tra session question, which was agi
tating tho state last fall. Gontlomon,
tho state of Oregon has both a Unit-
od States sonator and a half million

MORSE'E PROPHECY.
Snmuel F. B. Morse during his
work on the Baltimore and Washing
ton telegraph line In 1843, kept a di
ary. The Electrical Rovlow of New
York says that the book was recently
discovered In the library of Thomas
A. Edison. The Review reproduces a
number of interesting extracts from
this diary: Under date of August 10,
1843, Mr. Morse describes certain
tests he had made and makes the fol
lowing Interesting prophecy:
"The practical Inference from this
lnw Is that a telegraphic communica
tlon on my plan may with certainty be
established across the Atlantic. Start
ling as this mny seem now the time
will come when this project will be
realized." Commenting upon this
prophecy the Electrical Review says:
"Today there is no ocean unspanned
by a telegraph cale. We have com
pleted the first Pacific cable and
have made a good start on the second.
and Marconi has established commit
nicntiou across the Atlantic without
wires. It Is difllcult to realize that
this diary was written loss than 00
years ago."
WIDOWER 123 YEARS.
men AI Ithe stories rolatltig to very
aged people, stories very familiar In
the United States, have boon tils
counted by p tale thnt comes from tho
Moscow, Russia, correspondent of the
Chicago Chronicle. Tills correspond
ent says htat a man who is more than
200 years old, already in the third
century of his life, is said to be in a
hospital In Tomsk, the capital in the
yar-away province ol that nanio in
western Siberia.
He is a small peasant farmer, ebr-
ridden. but still sound in his mind. He
remembers seeing Peter the Great
and the Catherines. Among the docu
ments given as proof of his extreme
age is a passport bearing the date of
17G3. in which he is rescribed ns a
man of CO years of age. He has been
a widower 123 years. The certificate
of Ills wife's death shows that she died
in 1780, after 47 years of married life.
His son, who died in 1824, was said to
be 90 years old.
UNLUCKY THIRTEEN.
The heculanenu task of wiping out
the popular superstition concerning
Friday and the number 13 has been
undertaken by Prof. C. A. L. Totten.
former military instructor at Yale.
Professor Totten snys: "As to Ameri
ca, it bears 13 all over its heraldry,
and Friday lias been its chief day (dis
covery of America, Declaration of In
dependence, etc.). We have 13 letters
in E Plitrlbus Unum, the motto on our
great seal. We have 13, 13 times re
peated, on that seal. Take out a new
silver quarter. If you have one left,
and count the thirteens, even on its
obverse face. Dear me, don't worry
over the luckiest number. A full ba
ker's dozen is thirteen that is, one
for good measure, pressed down and
running over. Mannnsseh was the
tl irteeiith tribe in Israel and we are
the people."
Cancerous
At first have no th- am mn
ing about them to 1 11 A M
indicate their true U ItLT S
nature. They w
look like ordinary sores and are usually
treated as such, some simple salve, wash
or powder being used in the hope of dry
ing them up and stopping the discharge;
but while the place may temporarily scab
over, it again inflames and festers, be
coming as bad or worse than ever. After
awhile the deadly poison begins to eat
into the surrounding flesh and the sore
spreads with frightful rapidity. Then the
sharp shooting pains, which distinguish
the cancerous from the common ulcer,
nre felt, and the unfortunate patient is
brought face to face with the most dread
ed of all maladies, a cancerous ulcer
Whenever an ulcer of any kind is slow
in healing it should be closely watched,
particularly if there is an inherited pre
disposition to cancer. Often times a ma
lignant, stubborn ulcer starts from a boil,
wart, mole, bruise, blister or pimple, for
when the blood, is tainted and the germs
and seeds of cancer are implanted in the
system, you cannot tell when nor where
the deadly poison i going to break out
S. S. S. cures these cancerous ulcers and!
chronicsores, by driving out of the system
all the morbid and unhealthy matter that
keeps the ulcer irritated and discharging.
It purifies and strengthens the blood,
enabling it to. throw off the germs and
poisons, thus check -
mg the further for-
mation of cancer
Lm ce"3t Btu when all
mbV WmW hnpurities have been
removed from the
blood and system the ulcer heals natu
rally and permanently.
All ulcers, even the smallest, should be
looked upon with suspicion and treated
promptly before they become cancerous.
