The harness they put on Is antiquated. A rough, III- fitting collar, at best, thoy make Its strain and friction past enduring by placing It where tljo neck Is most sensl- tlvoj by mero continuous Irri- tation this sensitiveness In- creases, until the whole nature Is quick and sore. This Is the origin of "touchiness." Touch- iness, when it becomes citron- 1c, Is a morbid condition; it is self-love Inflamed; It is con- ceit with a hair trigger. Henry Drummond. The Umatilla county wheat ralsor Is advancing as ho learns from ex perience. Ho is improving his meth ods and getting bettor roturns there by. Not so with tho Umatilla county fruit raiser. Instead of tho orchard ista producing cleaner, moro market able apples, tho worm pests seem to bo constantly spreading. Ten years ago It was safe to pick up an npplo In tin- dark and cat It without fear; today (ho npplcs on tho market nro fully SO per cent offectod with post. There is a law on spraying and there should be Jocal prido enough to seo that it is enforced. This harsh criti cism Is mado for tho benefit of Uma tilla county. Thoro must bo u chang? In methods in fruit raising or tho in dustry will perish. Every other in dustry seems to bo Improving, but fruit conditions nro growing gradu ally worse. This does not apply to Umatilla county, n'lone. Oregon, Washington and Idaho aro .equally guilty, as districts. In awarding tho prizes lor fruit at the Irrigation con gress in Ogden last year, tho first 1G exhibits of apples were found to bo wormy. It Is a lamentable state of affairs. If it were not a serious question it would bo laughablo, to hear tho Inter parliamentary Congress now in ses sion at St. l-ouls, ask President Paws ovelt to call an international peaco congress. With tho warlike propen sities of tho president, and with his recent recommendations for war equipment and naval extension, tho call for a peaco congress from him would bo absolutely ridiculous. Tho peace seekers will havo to turn else where with their requests for disarm ament and universal peace. This is a sanguinary administration in tho United States. NOW, FOR THE PORTAGE. The portage railroad will be built. The people will build It themselves. No secret Influences can hinder It. Millions In reserve for opposition and delay will have no effect. x The obstacles now holding back tho construction of the road, whatever thoy may be, will not Interfere with the peoples' determination. The state portage commission is absolutely honest, but it Is handicap ped. The people of Oregon, and es pecially Portland, will raise that han dicap and enable the commission to proceed. The estimates of the portage show that It cannot bo built and put In operation for tho $105,000 appropriat ed by the state. At least 140,000 more will bo needed, which amount has been pledged by Portland's mov ing spirits. Nothing Is now more certain than that the portage will be constructed. Tho 1905 wheat crop of Oregon and the Inland Empire will get tho bene fit of It. Tho people havo taken tho matter In hand. This is a sure guar antee. And there Is ample reason why it Bhould b.o built. Tho Inland Empire sends at least 18.000.000 bushels of wheat to oxport annually, tho average cost of trans portation under present conditions be ing 9 cents per bushel, to Portland. With- river transportation and boats plying on tho upper Columbia and tho Snako, as thoy will, after tho portage Is constructed, tho. cost of transporting wheat from tho Inter ior farms to Portland will be reduced to five cents per bushel, at tho out side. This means a saving of 4 cents per bushel on 18,000,0000 bushels in ono year, or, 1720.000 left In tho pockets of tho Inland Empire from ono crop. This amount will build four portaga 'roads and It can bo saved in ono year In the Inland Empire by a portage. Freight rates on wool can bo reduc ed 400 per cent by river transporta tion. The rate on salt from Portland to The Dalles is now $1 p.er ton, a dlstanco of 88 mlloa with river trans portation, Tho rato on tho samo salt from Po'rtland to Arlington, a dls tanco of- 142 miles, without river transportation, is $9 per ton. The freight on a combined harves ter from- Portland to Moro, 200 miles, is $130. Tho rato on a combin ed harvester from Stockton, Cal., to Moro, 00 miles, Is $127.. Four barrels of Portland cement, shipped around Capo Horn from Bir mingham? England, 17,000 miles, cost In Portland, Ore., $11.25. Tho freight on thos.o four barrols from Portland, Ore., to Umatilla, 183 miles, is $9.25. Tho portngo road will certainly bo built. Tho pcoplo cau afford to build It by public subscription. As long as tho rivor Is obstructed thoro is no urgent necessity for branch rail lines to tap tho Intorior. Tho profits nro great enough now. With u reduction of freight rates by tho construction of tho portngo, a strenuous nctlvlty In railroad build ing will bosln, In order to roach and create moro Uuslnoss. Everybody will profit Vr portage road. Tho lives and property of every citizen in Colorado are endnngored by the recent mobbing, instruction of union stores, and deportation of sus pect men at Cripple Creek. Whore the mine owners are In power thoy havo proved to be moro anarchistic, more bold In defiance of law, more reckless with liberty and moro vin dictive than tho worst foreign settle ment In tho coal mining districts. Colorado capitalists are reduced to common thugs.
