James Whlteomb Riley. Judge Hellinger should not be easy on the land thieves now on trial before him. This Is one of the Mist opportunities ever presented to avenge the prostitution of the state by the organized gangs of thieves hid den behind political influences and operating through the political ma chines. Land offices, land scrip and public institutions, both fedcial an 1 plate, have been made the toys of plunderers who have so far escaped, unwhipped. The name of Oregon has become a byword in the United States because of the unrebuked corruption hi public land transactions. Because of the dominance of machine politics, it hag been considered a safe field of operation and until Roosevelt turned down the Oregon delegation, refused to appoint their lund office candidates and began an investigation of condi tions In the state, it was the most fertile field for land thievery in the Union. Let Judge Bellinger lay on the penalty and the bigger the thief tile heavier the penalty should be. The East Oregonian urges Umatilla county to send a strong delegation of -active stockmen to the coming meet ing of the National Livestock asao elation at Denver, on January 10. A general reorganization of that body Is to take place at that time, and It should be reorganized by actual stock growers and not by stockyards men, commission men and railroad inter ests. This organization is a power for good in the United States. Its dictum is heeded by the state legis latures and by congress. It can be made still more powerful In arbitrat ing and protecting the Interests of the stockgrowera. Other Industries are organized. Railways, commission houses, packing houses und cattle- buyers are all organized to protect their various Industries. If the stock man does not strengthen and cement his ranks, these allied Interests work ing against him will have every ad vantage. An effort will be made to place the reorganized association in the hands of the railways and pack lag houses. Stockmen who produce the cattle and sheep should see that their own Interests are carefully guarded. Now Is the time. The first real menace to the com merclal Interests of Pendleton has ap peared in the extension of the Sump ter Valley railway Into the Interior of Grant county. When that road reaches Prairie City, much of the John Day trade heretofore coming to this city will be diverted to the Sump ter Valley railway. It Is for Pendle ton merchants and Umatilla county to say just how aevere the Inroads of this opposition will be on the interests of this city and county. Better wag on roads will help hold this trade. Larger mercantile stocks, greater bar gains and more vigorous advertising will save some of this trade. In the logic of the situation, It must be seen thut all of the present John Day trade enjoyed by this city cannot be held. Cities will spring up along the Sumpter Valley road and commercial Interests will center at those points. But tt will be many years before merchants on that line, whose freight must be transferred and shipped to the Interior at extra cost, can com pete with the splendid Institutions of Pendleton, situated on a main line, and enjoying ths advantages of rail way competition. Something in the way of road improvement to the In terior should be done to attract trade. Good roads and Intelligent advertis ing can do much to offset the Influ ence of the Sumpter Valley. Even a portion of Southern Umatilla county would be threatened by good roads from Dale to Prairie City. The dextrous hand of Frank P. Sargent, commissioner of Immigra tion, wlH be seen In the president's recommendations to the coming ses sion of congress it is alleged. For 1! years Sargent was grand master of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and because of his personal Hcnualntaiice with Roosevelt, and his successful management of the affairs of the order, he was selected as chief of the imlmgmtion bureau, and is one of the president's closest advisors. Sargent's hobby und ruling passion Is better Inns to protect railway men. To this end, one of the strongest rec ommendations of the president's mes sage, it is understood, will be for the enactment of employers liability laws in the District of Columbia, rigid inquiry into the causes of Increasing railway wrecks and collisions and ef fective means of reducing these dis asters. Those familiar with Mr. Sargent's alms will Instantly recognize his persouul influence In this portion of the president's recommendations. No theme ever commanded more urg ently the earnest consideration of congress, nod railway employes of every state should urge their repre sentatives in congress to support the president in this worthy effort. The railway Industry is growing so rapid ly and is so vitally related to the pub lic that more stringent laws regulat ing it should be enacted, until the government is ready to take charge I of It as n public utility. A S.VKHI IUTTERFLY. MAYOR WILLIAMS' WIT. Mayor George H. Williams of Port land, feeling aggrieved at the charges of corruption lodged against his ad ministration by all the moral forces in Portland, vented his spleen before the State Bar Association recently, In the following alleged "wit": "I will not say that this city Is the best governed, but I can truthfully say that it is the most governed city in the United States. "If the Ministerial Association had j Its way. Portland would be a New Je- j rusalem, such as St. John saw in his 1 vision. In fancy. If the association : had Its way, I could see Dr. Hill and ! myself, walking in the New Jerusa-! lem, he singing bass and myself sing-1 Ing also.

' "Then there is the Taxpayers' Leaiiue. which is known far and wide for Its Joe Teal. "There Is also the sheriff of the county. He reminds me of the bull In the china sop who smashed every- I thing he could reach, and what he did not smash lie left in a very unsavory i condition.. "A reform measure that Is carried i on with revolvers and sledge ham mers may be best for the city there is even some doubt ubout this. ' "We have four of the best circuit , judges in the state. They are prone to nervousness when they are con-! fronted by honest gamblers. Judge j George showed this when he rendered I a decision the other day that took up two columns in the newspapers. J "In spite of the howling of the j press and the preachers, Portland is as lnv-ul)idlng as any city In the : world." I John Havilniid, whose home is in Springfield, o.. arrived from Ecuador some days ago with a butterfly such as was never seen before here one so beautiful and so rare that it is worth 3nno. it has been sent to Lord Nathaniel Rosthchlld In London, who lias for years collected remarkable fleas and strange butterflies. Mr. Hnvlland was the private secre tary of Major John Harman, manager needs an outing, of the Guayaquil & Quito railroad, now being built between these two South American cities, und thereby opening up the Andes. During his spare moments Mr. Hav- llund amused himself by catching and mounting the many beautiful butter flies und dragon files which flitted about the orchid-hung trees of this Lcuadorian home. One specimen which he caught was of such beauty that fearing his mounting might be too crude for perfect preservation, he brought It to a professional In this city on his return to have the beauti ful fly more carefully preserved. Immediately the old collector went into ecstasies. "You have." he said, " the only but terfly of this kind I have ever seen. I am the American agent for Lord Itothschlld. who Is collecting files and fleas, and has the rarest collection and the most valuable in the world. He has just paid 1250,000 for a pair of fleas. You must send this butterfly to England. If Lord Rothschild has none like It he will pay you good for It. and It shall be known as the Havl iand fly." The amateur butterfly catcher was more than surprised. He had not dreamed that this little Insect was worth so much money. But he left It with the old collector, to be shipped to London. Mr. Havlland has sailed for Lisbon, whence he goes to Buenos Ayres, and later to Lima. Mrs. Havlland. who has been the guest of friends at 29 Grove street, has returned to her Springfield home. She will join Mr. Havlland In South America In the spring. Mr. Havlland said before sailing that he would hunt butterflies in South America with more zest than ever. New York Globe.

Ireland Is again in the throes of a famine and an appeal to the world at large Is timely. Some philosopher has said that Christopher Columbus ought to be made the patron saint of Ireland, vice St. Patrick deposed. Columbus, in discovering America, created a new sphere for the Irish people, a sphere wherein their talents have found a field and where they have thrived amazingly. But seriously, the Emerald Isle was never Intended by nature to support a large agrarian population. Its cli mate In execrable. As a grazing coun try it ho some advantages, but com pared with Illinois or Iowa, the whole island Is second rate from the stated point of agriculture. We hear much about the depopula tion of Ireland. If a famine recurring regularly every third or fourth year, Is good evidence, a few thousand Irish may cross the Atlantic to good advantage annually for all time' to come.

Miss Agnes Miller, of Chicago, speaks to young women about clangers of the Menstrual Period how to avoid pain and suffering and remove the cause by using Lydia EL Pinkham's Vegetable Compound "To Yors-G "Womev: I suffered for six years with dysmenor. rhea (painful periods), ho much ho that I dreaded every month, as I knew it meant three or four days of intense pain. The doctor said this was due to an inflamed condition of the uterine appendages caused by repeated and neglected colds. "If young girls only realized how dangorous it is to take cold at this critical time, much suffering would lie spared thom. Thank God for Lydia E. Pinklmiu's Vegetable Compound, that was the only medicine which helped me any. Within three weeks after I started to take it, I noticed a marked improvement in my general health, and at the tune of my next monthly period the pain had diminished consider, ably. I kept up the treatment, and was cured a month later. I am like another person since. I am in perfect health, my eyes are brighter, I have added 12 poiuuls to my weight, my color is good, and I feel light and happy. iliss Aones Milleii, 25 Potomac Ave., Chicago, 11L The monthly sickness reflects the condition of a woman's health. Anything unusual at that time should Lave prompt and proper attention. Fifty thousand letters from women prove that Lydia E, I'inkliam's Vegetable Compound regulates men struation and makes those periods painless. KEAD WHAT MISS LTNDBECK SAYSi "Dear JIus. Pinkham: Lydia E. Pink linm's Vegetable Compound hns greatly bene litted nie. I will tull you how I suffered. My trouble was painful menstruation. I felt as each month went by that I was getting worse. I had severe bearing-down pains in my back and abdo-' men. "A friend advised me to try Mrs. Pinkham's medicine.
