Lord, for the youth I wasted
In greedy pursuit of wealth,
For the joys of life untasted,
The glorious boon of health,
For the gi'lp of the heartwhole
friendship.
From the burden of con-
science free,
I sigh and suffer and languish,
Lord.
In old age succor me!
The years of our life are num-
bered,
And spaces are set apart
For Joy and pain, for toll and
gain,
Fur words of the loving
heart;
A space for self is allotted,
For mankind another span,
But meed nor need for selfish
greed
Find place in the all-wise
plan.
William Hoster, In San Fran-
Cisco Examiner.
UMATILLA LEADS ALL.
It is a historical fact that the sage
bruh district has led Oregon In the
matter of high valuatlonse of proper
ty In making assessments. '
Assessor Strain, ol this county, set
the pace and now Multnomah, the
chief county In the state, swings Into
line, proving conclusively the wisdom
of the Strain idea.
Assessor Sigier, of Multnomah
county, announces that the valua
tion of that county will be Increased
from 51,000,0u0 this year to about
4150,000,000 next year, or an increase
of 200 per cent.
His stute'd object in making this
radical change is th ancient method
of assessing in that county is to low--er
the levies.
This will be gratifying to the many
supporters of Mr. Strain in this and
other counties of Eastern Oregon,
and will give other timid assessors
the courage to put their faith into
execution.
The railroads will find that there
is a demand all along the line to
reach the Immense amounts of prop
erty that has heretofore escaped tax
ation. WATER WITCHING" NO FAKE
. Let science doff Its hat to the
peach limb of the "water witch."
Let geologists and expert engineers
put away their transits, compasses,
theodolites and other costly and in
tricate parapHernaaia. ' The schools
of science In England have determin
ed that there is virtue In the "water
witching" methods employed by un
sophisticated expert front time lm
memorial. The San Francisco Exam
iner says:
Students of natural sciences In
Great Britain are Just now engaged in
a series of experiments to prove
whether the divining rod, by means
of which many persons claim to be
able to locate underground streams,
and some also to discover copper,
gold, etc., is really what It has been
asserted to be.
They propose to ascertain by care
ful trials with accurate instruments.
whether there are any unusual con
( ditions, electrical, vibratory or as re
gards temperature In the earth, near
where water or minerals are to be
found.
Unbelievers have scoffed their fill
at the "dowser," as he is called in
England, and have stoutly maintain
ed that the whole thing was a mat
ter of guesswork, the location for a
well being picked out purely by the
lay of the land. But scientific ex
perts now argue that after all there
may be something In it ' They point
out that many people are specially
sensitive to atmospheric conditions,
and old wounds and corn frequently

Indicate changes that are not appre
ciated by the other senses.
So eminent an authority as Sir Wil
liam Preece has suggested that a
stream of water underground may
produce vibrations which are appar
ent to certain persons peculiarly con
stituted, and similar conditions may
be present where gold Is located. So
now scientists are hard at work to
determine whether there may not be
absolutely sure methods of finding
mineral deposits by scientific observ
ations, instead of being guided solely
by geological lore.
If that happy day ever arrives
mining may become the exact science
which many Investors In wildcat
schemes know to their sorrow it hith
erto has certainly not been.
The project of having a tented city
at Portland for those of the Lewis
and Clark fair visitors who may de
sire to camp out, has been discussed,
and it is expected that a 10-acre tract
wjll be secured for the purpose, it
to be near the car line and within a
short distance from the fait; grounds.
There are many people who are ac
customed to spend the summer either
at the seaside or at the mountains
and a large number of these have
expressed themselves as wishing to
secure camping ground near the fair
grounds the coming season, and there
enjoy for a few weeks the grand
sights which will be offered within
the gates. The Idea Is to prepare
space for at least 10(10 tents, establish
water mains on it, arrange for the
disposition of garbage that will ac
cumulate, and have the grounds un
der the supervision of a man who
will give the campers all necessary
attention consequent upon such an
undertaking. Out-door Jlfe In this
manner would certainly be much
more pleasant and less expensive than
that In connection with a crowded
hotel or boarding house in the heart
of Portland.
Every road supervisor in the coun
ty should be present at the state
good roads meeting to be held here
next month. It will be a saving to
the tax payers to Uave the roadmuk
ers of the county study improved
methods which will Insure permanent
roads for the countrv districts. As It
is niAv, half of the money spent in
road construction and repairs each
year is wasted, because the work
must be repeated each spring. This
good roads movement may seem a
dry and prosaic affair, but it is the
most vital movement ever started In
the west. The saving from good
country roads, In hauling products to
market Is beyond computation, aside
from the pleasure of driving over
good roads Instead of dodging over
a collection of ruts and rocks, where
a road should be.
Every county in Oregon will have
Its favorite candidate for governor
next year, several dozen candidates!
having been already announced, but
when the votes are counted again, It
will be found that George E. Cham
berlain will have been elected. No
governor of Oregon before hlin has
acted as agreeably as he and all
classes and parties are satisfied with
his business administration. Under
his direction the lieu and school land
frauds and Irregularities have been
uncovered and the state safeguarded
against further loss in this line. The
republican legislature and the demo
cratic governor worked harmonious
ly together and in all the history of
the state there Is not such another
record of energy and progress In the
governor's office as that made by Mr.
Chamberlain.
The saloon men do not wish to ob
serve Sunday closing because It Is to

THE BEEF TRUST'S DEFIANCE.
The Beef trust 1 playing a desper
ate game. For 20 years It has been
dipping deeper and deeper Into the
pockets of the consumers. Today It
picks them at will.
Now that popular Indignation has
forced the federal authorities to In
quire Into the trust's methods they
find Its agents absconding over the
Canadian border and tampering with
witnesses. It parries the indictments
of its employes by raising the price of
meat. If the government "bothers"
It, let the public sweat! As if to
show its contempt of the courts it re
asserts Its absolute control of the
country's markets.
Beginning In the usual , way as
slaughterers of cattle, the beef pack
ers have accumulated the power to
bleed the stock growers on one hand
and the consumers on the other. Hav
ing secured ownership of the stock
yards, they have crushed competition
In packing. By their operation of
refrigerator car lines they have mon
opolized the food trade and fixed
charges to suit their own pockets.
Six beef trust employes have been
indicted. Eight or ten are In exile.
But the real heads of the trust remain
in security. They enjoy the benefit
of the tariff they dictated, they are
on excellent terms with the railroads
and their monopoly Is unbroken.
Congress should remove the protec
tion they have too long enjoyed.

OUR SCIENTIFIC PERIIX!
These aggravating scientists, they
keep us in anxiety
About the many living things that
lurk In food and drink;
The toilers of the working class, the
lights of high society,
All cling alike to slender threads
above an awful brink!
The food e cat to bolster life is filled
with most atrocious things.
Within the cordials we Imbibe out
landish bugs are found;
They are Infinitesimal, but none the
less ferocious things.
They feed upon our vitals till they
land us underground!
In every glass of beer you swallow
deadly malticilllcus
That perforate your inner tank
plumb full of tiny holes,
You eat a pie, the tollcus gets Into
your umbilicus
And lies there doing business like
a lot of living coals.
You dare not drink a glass of milk,
and soon your whole interior
Will house lactealicitls in a colony
of death,
You swallow sour mash bourbon
that you think is quite superior
To other drinks, and ryeolltis floats
out on your breath.
You eat a plate of luscious beans, and
Bostonltls catches you
A cultured aliment, it is true, but
one we never crave
An oyster stew will seal your doom
unless the doctor snatches you
With some bivalvulorlc cure right
from the waiting grave.
In beef the steeroscoplc germs are
numerous and ravenous,
In spuds the Murphycoccus mites
In hosts are stowed away;
In short we humans never know what
dreadful things we have In us
Till the papers tell us what the
scientlfieusses say.
That any of us yet survive is really
a mystery,
'Tis strange these bodies now are
not but pulseless mortal clay,
For never since creation's dawn in
all the old earth's history
Did microscopic perils threaten as
they do today.
If we should to the mountains flee
and live on snow and mountain
air
It wouldn't be a fortnight till some
scientific cuss
Would In a scientific way Investigate
our bill of fare
And find that germs were waiting
In cold storage there for us.

Post.
DRESSING ON 50 A YEAR.
The representative Chicago woman
arsHfied th assertion from Boston
yesterday that the average woman
can 'lothe herself properly on $t3 a
year with the statement that It can
be done for $30, and gave itemized
f'gures lo prove it.
If a composite woman from Boston
war.? to come to Chicago with her $65
a year wardrobe she could duplicate
the apparel for $63. She could not
oi.ly have eight hats In four yeurs,
eijrht pairs of low shoes and eight
pairs of high shoes, but could spend
$48 In t hat time for neckwear alone.
Investigation In sections devoted to
woman's dress In Chicago depart
ment stores proved that women spend
more for ribbons and flimsy chiffon
to adorn their necks than for stock
ings, undervesls, underskirts, corset
covers, nightgowns and umbrellas.
One young woman, who says she
dresses becomingly on $30 a year (and
her appearance bears out the asser
tion), was horrified to find that un
dergarments considered essential to
the dress of Chicago women do not
form a part of Boston women's ap
parel, according to the list compiled
by Prof. Edward Atkinson. Such
tilings as outer skirts are not consid
ered as necessary by the professor.
In Boston the women use two pairs
of rubbers a year; In Chicago three
pairs.
Following Is a list of articlesof ap
parel which the Boston statistician
declare are needed by the average
Boston woman In four years, together
with the cost of the articles in Chi
cago. Professor Atkinson compiled
his list after a conference with three
stenographers. After submitting the
list to four department store manag
ers It was found they could be bought
In Boston for $65 a year, or $260
for the four years. The same clothes
can be bought In Chicago for $25.20:
Eight hats, trimmed by the wearer,
$20.
Eight pairs of low shoes, $20.
. Eight pairs of high shoes, $24.
Two outer garments for summer,
$20.
Two outer garments for winter, $20.
Sixteen cotton shirt waists, $20.
Twenty-four pairs of stockings, $4.
80. Two kimonos, $2.
Four cotton shirtwaists, $6.
Ten underskirts, $10.
Forty-eight handkerchiefs, $9.60.
Eight corset covers, $4.
Neck weir, $4 8.
Eight nightgowns, $8.
Two umbrellas, $4.
Eight pairs of cotton gloves, $2.
Six winter undervests, $6.
Four woolen shirtwaists, $8.
Two silk shirtwaists, $10.
Twelve corsets, $12.
Six summer undervests, $1.60.
Eight pairs of ,kld gloves, $10.
Eight pairs of rubbers, $4.80.
Other underclothing, $8.
One muff, $7.60.
Belts and buckles, $2.
Total, $261.20.

TKOOl'S NOW ENGAGED.
During the week ending March 2!,
the most sensational item of news re
ceived concerning the war in the Far
East was the official computation of
the troops and supplies forwarded to
Manchuria since the beginning of the
contest. It has been estimated by
well-informed persons that at the
opening of February. 1904. the Rus
sian force In Manchuria, Including the
garrisons of Port Arthur and Vladi
vostok, and the guards of the Man
churlan branches of the Siberian rail
way, comprised about 80,000.
Now, according to the figures pub
lished by the St. Petersburg war of
fice, there were delivered at Harbin
during the ensuing 13 months more
than 774,500 officers and soldiers, up
wards of 1600 guns, more than 146,
000 horses and 361,000 tons of stores.
It follows, of course, that the aggre
gate of the Russian troops already
present within the area of hostilities
In the first week In February, 1S04.
or since despatched thither, must
have exceeded 850.000.
If It be true then, that Gen. Llne
vitch now has at his command no
more than 300,000 effectives Including
railway guards and the Vladivostok
garrisons, the Russians must have
lost from disease, or In killed, wound
ed and prisoners, some 550,000 men
in the course of a single year's cam
paign. Iiese figures probably credit
Llnevitch with more, effective strength
than he actually possesses. It Is
doubtful If he has at his disposal in
the field 200,000 men adequately sup
plied with guns and ammunition.
