Stnnton In Atlanta Con- stltutlon. 8, While Umatilla county does not t'lexpect to see a "lean" year In the f-'future. she Is smilingly cancelling '"'her mortgages while the "fat" year's W abundance is nt hand. There will not be. within a reason- able number of years, as favorable a i lUlme for the Commercial Aocl.tlon Hto build a club bullying as this yeai i Ijlluslness has been good and public fcgifts light. Think of It. Senator Dolllver quit the Fairbanks (party at Portland and went east with Va "sore throat." Dolllver Is no hog. IfTwo weeks at J1000 per week and I "found." Is enough for him. All he kwished was a graceful excuse to quit. I H will be utterly Impossible for the piggregatlon of Oregon editors to en llarge on the truth about Hood River Inpples. The truth about Hood Rlver'H (products excels the wildest dream of Ithe Oregon Journalist, and that Is stating the limit. The editorial asso ciation should have selected a meet ing place susceptible to a stretch of Imagination. It is strange and disgusting to note the silly slush In all the women's magazines concerning the wives of the different candidates on the nu gtlonnl tickets. Women of ordinary sense and personal appearance, be- fore their husbands were elevated to Ithe tottering pedestal of fame, they have suddenly become exalted sped- mens of beauty, wit and wisdom un- Ider the mlscroscoplc eye of the space ', writer. These estimable women were never heard of before the nam- (Inatlon of their husbands and in case of the defeated candidates, will nuVi? be hear of In future. All these smll- prig photographs of candidates' wlvs smack of tho forced winter vegetable t which loses Its color when exposed to the real atmosphere. Most of the pictures are "hot house" articles. B'M,The Oregon Dally Journal last week placed on deposit iiiOO to be given to some worthy charity of Port- fland If the Evening Telegram and 'Jrdregonlan would -make known to -AJthelr advertisers their actual clrcilla "Wtlon. There were no other condi tions to the gift. No matter If they ijhud 100 or 100,000 subscribers, just fajplaln statement of the correct num ber, whatever It might be would Sfearn the J500 for any worthy charity Sfnamed. So far the offer Is not ac tffcepted. Many Portlnnd Institutions would be Immeasurably benefited by this generous gift offered by the (journal, but the trust papers refuse to bestow It. The Joumul publishes Klcorrected statement of Its dally cir culation, ond as a consequence has won the confidence of Its advertising patrons'. An occasional spasm from Ithe Oregonlan on the unpardonable Isln of red head-lines and comic sup- Jplements Is a certain Indication that the Journal la taking over Immense plunks of profitable business formerly monopolized by the trust. The force otHocal writers on the Journal Is tho strongest on the Pacific Coast and Mhe 'editorial comments of that paper fare. more widely copied In the North- vest than those of any other newspa per published on the coast. There Is certain evidence of life In them Jnot noticed In other Portland edltorl-ill. EASTERN OREGON'S HOPE. Tho hope of Eastern Oregon tics In the lrtgntlon districts. There, and there only, Is the Increase In rural population ,ocall)le. Tho Wheat belt Is not ndapted to gteatly Increased population. Owing t the necessity of summer fallowing the wheat land, each wheat raiser must own a considerable area In or der to allow one-half of It to lie fal low each year. The Impossibility of getting water on thousands of acres of the best wheat land banishes the hope of nmktng It a country of small farms, cud many homes. It even biuilshu; the hope of a family living through out tho year on entire sections and HlQi-ncie farms. lloi.ie.' can be maintained by wheat raisers In the city and a few farm hands will constitute the greater farm population, Then to the foothill valleys, the rich creek bottoms, the moist tracts in I lie border of the timber belts and to the in Id districts must Umatilla counly and Eastern Oregon look fot the needed and Inevitable Increase In population. In those districts, where fruits, veg etables and varied forage crops can be grown In abundance, where from one acre up will support u moderate family, wilt take place the greatest revolution and there will be witness ed the Industrial transformation of the next decade. Therefore, give us Irrigation. Olve us ditches, storage systems and rec lamation projects. In the Increase of this art, lies the future Increase of population and the multiplication of wealth in Umatilla county. Chief Joseph expected to go to Wallowa when he died. It would be a relief to many men to know that ihj would go to a country at Wal lowa's altitude after death, Instead of to a certain other destination pro pared for them. A monster democratic meeting at -Madison Square, at which Cleveland would preside and Ilryan be chief spokesman. Is a dramatic consumma tion which New York City will not witness. It would seem Impossible for even the Irresistible seduction of Tom Tuggurt to achieve such a result. HISTORY OP OREGON. One of the latest histories of Ore gon issued lrom the press Is just be ing placed on the market by A. C. McClurg & Co.. of Chicago. It Is "A Short History of Oregon." by Sldona j V. Johnson, of Portland, and is a well written, but brief narrative of the exploration, discovery, conquest and settlement of the Northwest. While It Is practically a compila tion, it Is tastily arrapged and pre sented In a most fascinating man ner. Fred Nolf, the local bookseller, who handles the little volume, says it promises to be a good seller and from the way the study of Oregon history Is stimulated In the public schools. It would seem that the book will fill a mission. The history Is divided Into six parts, the first taking up In a very interesting way the earlier discover ies and the causes that led up to them on the Pacific shore of North America, and to the final abandon ment of Port Nootka on the sound of that name on the British Columbian coast. The second part of the his tory Is devoted to the discoveries of Lewis and Clark, Part three of the history recounts the history of the early settlement and colonization of Oregon and Washington, the early trading posts and how the Oregon country wan finally restored to the United States. This comes down to the history of the Whitman massacre. Part four Is the story of the final settlement of the Oregon question, the establishment of territorial gov ernment and the admission of Ore gon Into the Union as a state. Part five Is devoted to the story of Ore gon's Indian wars, while the lust di vision of the book Is devoted to the progress of the state up to the pres ent tlhie. The history Is told In the analyti cal and narrative style, Is Interesting leading, having enough dates for all purposes, yet not .being so filled with them that the book becomes slmly a dull, tedious recounting of figures. It Is a book that should be placed In the hands of every young Oregonlan nnd the older ones will all read It with Interest. It Is u valuable addi tion to the literature of Oregon. WHERE WOMEN X'OTE. In fnnr states Wyoming. Colorado Utah and Idahowomen possess the right to vote on equal terms witn men nt nil elections. That Is the goal far which the women's suffrage move ment In Ktrlvim? In everv state, and It must be confessed that much progress has been made In that direction. Either full or partial suffrage for wo men exists In 26 states. In 18 states women possess school suffrage. In thev have municipal nnd school suffrage. Montana and lowa permit them to vote on the. Issuance nt mnniMn.-il bonds. In 1898 Louisi ana granted them tho privilege of voting on questions reunion 10 puu- ii,.wvniiiitiirH. wiiii tins exceniion. th.. nnnthprii states have been slow In advancing the woman suffrage cause. The women of Wyoming, Colorado, Utah nnd Idnno vote ror presidential electors. A lawyer often patronizes two bars. One pays out what the other pays In. Mountain Myths of Navajo Land There are seven mountains In Nav ajo Laud which are held by the In dians of that region to be sacred, and which figure extensively In their mythical talcs. One of these Is known to them as Tsotslt, the Sacred Mountain of the South. On our maps the mountains nre called San Mateo mountains, the tallest point having been given the name of Mt. Taylor. In the Navajo system of religion certain colors are symbolical of the cardinal points. Illack symbolizes the north; white the east; yellow the west, and blue the south. This moun tain, being the southern boundary of Navajo Lund, to It wus ascribed the color symbolical of the south, blue. In view of this fact it la Interesting to note how nature has fallen In line to humor the Navajo superstitious and make emphatic their myths. For some reason, unexplatuable to scientists, certain birds, In this arid western land, congregate on ', certain mountains. It would almost seem as though there was a mutual under standing among the feathered tribes by which a division of territory had been effected. It Is thus that differ ent mountains become famous for cer tain birds found therein, us In the case of liuzzard's peak. In the Mojave desert, which takes Its name because of the great number of Buzzards which are found there, Strange to say, the sacred blue mountain of the Navajo Is the home of countless numbers of blue birds. Extensive deposits of that beautiful gem-stone so prized by the red men, as well us valued by the white broth ers, the turquoise, nre found. Again is found another remarkable coincidence In connection with the appropriateness of this mountain to the myths of the Navajos, The Navn- Jos give to the rain storms sex. The gentle, soft, easy-falling rain they call "she-rain" and Its color symbol Is blue. To the fierce, wild, heavy-beating rain, which is accompanied by thunder and lightning, they give the name of "he-raln" and Its color sym bol Is black. In the mountains on the north the thunderstorm is a common occurrence but over the sacred Tsotsll, the great blue mountain, falls only the "she- rain." the blue waters of heaven. THE WARFARE OF THE SOUL. There Is no peace, no parley In the warfare of the soul, Hut evermore to buttle Do the ringing drum-beats roll. While Truth Is on the neuffold And to Error yields the throne, The trump of God calls "Forward," And the slogan sounds "Strike home!" Where'er injustice lingers For oppression of the weak. The battle-flag Is waving For the souls who dare to speak. The bugle-call has sounded To the nations of the earth: 'TIs the trumpet-call of Freedom From the One who gave It birth. Fur the mortals Is It given In the ceaseless march of years To Ignobly fall ami perish, Or to triumph o'er their Tears. And every hour's a battle lost lly some poor, crnven son; Or by some fearless paladin A battle's hourly won. For fear Is marked for failure. In this warfare of the .soul, And brave, true hearts are needed To attain the cherished goal. And the laurel wreath Is waiting Ami It waits for him alone For the man who ever bravely Dares to cull his soul his own. Speed Mosby In the San Francis co Star. TRUTH AHOLT IRRIGATION. Secretary Shaw, who Is so far In the West that he can not look back to his office In Washington and see h J 50.000.000 deficit, is seemingly as careless or his facts us he Is of his figures. In one of his western speeches he attempted to show that the republicans In congress and not tho democrats, deserve the credit for the support given to Irrigation meas ures. Irrigation is of such vast Im portance to the West that Secretary Shaw realized the need of laying some claim that his party Is entitled to all the credit for the irrigation laws. The facts are Just the opposite to what Secretary 8haw claimed. The democrats not only Inaugurated the- national irrigation movement but tney furnished the votes to enact it Into, law. More democrats voted for the national Irrigation law thun republi cans. More republicans voted against h than democrats. The figures are as follows: Demo crats for, 77; republicans for, ft. Democrats against, 13; republicans against, 42; The democrats voted six to one for the law; republicans voted three to five against It. Sec retary Shaw either knows these facts and Is trying to deceive, or he la too careless In his statements to be de serving of credence. Commoner. RECIPROCITY. The great Oregonlan and n few of the Oregon republican papers, our morning contemporary Included, have time nnd again referred to National Chairman Taggart as a gambler, etc. Here In Oregon the republicans hnvo one F.
