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.

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.

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.

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. C, Baker as chairman of their
state committee, We wonder If ho
ever gambled or got drunk, and went
home and broke up the furniture In
his domicile? Eugene Guard.
