At no time in its history has Its I miin in i-enuieion. liuuuiui cinuio j and Oregon been as strong as It is today. J The year just closed has been one of the most prosperous in Its history. It has seen renewed evidences every day of its existence that fairness and fearlessness in a newspaper as in an individual, are appreciated and re spected. It has received untold assurances the views of the convention: "Abso lute opposition to the repeal of tho land laws, strong feeling that the scope of the laws should be enlarged and desire that the government cede all lands but agricultural (irrigable) lands to tho state In order that the range may be leased to stockmen," Here crops out the original Wyom ing effort to secure state cession, a policy of turning over tho soveru ment lands to the state legislatures so that the state legislatures can turn them over to the stockmen. The history of the various state grants from the government, such as Nevada's twp million acre grant, California's great swamp land grant, and many others, is surrounded with too much fraud and flagrant public dishonesty to admit of congress for a moment conisderlng such a coime as Ik suggested by the Wyoming stock Interests. .Maxwell's 'Talisman.

Senator Hanna exe crated as altogether wrong and revolutionary, the plan of Henry George to clear the way for industrial peace by the abolition of land monopo ly. He did not see the rela tion of the land question to the labor problem. The own ers of the bare land in New York City take nearly $200. 000,000 a year in ground rent. Capital and labor quarrel over what Is left. Those $200,000,000 represent social values which are appropriat ed by Individuals. Herbert S. BIgelow. Within the past six months the , Dally East Oregonian has Increased ' its telegraphic news serivce by '0 per cent and has added two Inches in length to each of its 4S columns, making a total of DC inches or foiir and three-quarters columns adilttiin . to its pages. ; The East Oregonian believes In . Pendleton. It has seen the city grow from a country village to be the bejt home, school and commercial center in the state of Oregon, outside cf I Portland. j It believes that Pendleton has not j yet entered her best era of develop i ment. It believes that renewed vlg ! or. renewed energy, renewed push win have even better effects In the future than In the past, because the facilities for making1 rapid progress are greater now than ! in the past. The East Oregonian belongs to I s ' ; owners. It knows no clique, no fac tion, no creed, nor Isms, except to i help these accomplish the great it; lu keeps the world busy to follow I S'0(m1 for li,e greatest number. ' these doctors. They now say that pneumonia Is catching, that vaccina tion Is powerless to avert smallpox and that appendicitis is largely an Imaginary or sympathetic ailment. Everything In medical science has " been upset in recent yearn, except vthe fee. No startling discovery if Bcfence has changed its ancient as pect. J. F. N'owlin says that he does not seek a position in the public schools of Pendleton, for the reason that ne wishes to retire from school work al together for a few years, having fol lowed that vocation for a lifetime. He has been offered higher salaried positions than that of city superin tendent of the Pendleton schools. In .both Washington and California, but will probably remain in Umatilla county. He feels that the greatest service he could render his party - after having enjoyed an official posi tion for several years, through its choice, would be to start a live 'e-.-publican newspaper, through which the .sentiment and Ideals of that party might be Intelligently and cor- i, rectly reflected and as there Is sucb an opening In Pendleton, It is possi ble that he will start such a newspa jier In this city, at once. Mexico offers wonderful opportunl 'f tyfor tfxe woolgrower. In 1903 that country Imported a million pounds .of wool to meet the demands of her home manufacturies. Heretofore she Ujss exported millions of pounds of -wool, but the increasing population and civilized customs make a great wer demand for the product. Mexico ( had but 3,400,000 head of sheep in 'J003, worth an avorage of $l.7C .ier licad In American money. Wool is "worth 16 cents American money, or 32 cants Mexican. Herders can be - employed at $5 per month, Ameri can money and range Is Inexhausti ble. Owing to tho mildness of the climate, the breeding ewes average VA to 1M head of lambs each. Americans can easily secure conces sions or purchase old land grants I there and It Is the coming sheep re gion of the North American continent. It knows no master; owns no slave. If the defense of the people demand that the highest official be called to account. It will speak or the people, although all the official censors In Christendom may cry -t down. It has faith In the people and be lieves that the people appreciate its fearlessness. Within the past year Umatilla county has seen a score of living wells added to her resources In dis tricts In which it had lone been thought impossible to find living water within a reasonable depth. Several prominent farmers near town, who have hauled water for stock and kitchen purposes for years, through tireless, intelligent effort have found Inexhaustible water supplies on their farms. These dls covcries of living water in the farm ing districts have added largely to the value of real estate In those lo calities and has created a spirited Interest in the well digging voca tlon. If one young man or woman cf Pendleton has been made more ca pable of meeting the stern questions of earning a livelihood and becoming an active force in the community Uy Professor Conklin's musical, 'literary, oratorical and debating programs in the high school, that fact destroys all the argument against these things. The Insinuation that Pendleton drug stores conduct a regular retail liquor business is unjust and un founded and tho city council knows it as well as anybody. There is no action to be taken In the matter ex cept to dismiss tho subject as being a selfish. Jealous effort to cast re flections on one of the city's most highly respected business Interests.
