Longfellow. I LET MORROW ASSIST, Residents of the vest end of Uma tilla county have asked for a county bridge over the Umatilla river at the mouth of that stream, near the town of Umatilla. While this is a much-needed im provement, one that should be grant ed to the people of that section, yet Morrow county will be the greater beneficiary of such a bridge and should assist In building it. Umatil la will receive but little benefit from it, but at the same time where even the smallest number of bona fide citizens need a public Improvement, it Is always worthy of consideration. Let Irrigon and Morrow county help build this bridge. They will re ceive nearly all the benefts. There Is very little travel from Umatilla westward, but large travel from Mor row county to Umatilla. As soon as the boat lines are plac ed on the river and Umatilla becomes s landing place and" shipping point for freight from this country, then Irrigon will still more keenly need a bridge there. In order to be able to reach the chief shipping point on the river Umatilla. Let Morrow county and Irrigur assist In building this wagon bridge. It will be built within a very few miles of the Morrow county line, and will accommodate Morrow county greatly. PENDLETON'S SCHOOL AGE. The open gateway of Pendleton's best school age Is now before us. With two academies filled to the limit, and both crying for larger fa cilities, with three new public school buildings Just completed, , beckoning to the country districts, with Improv ing morals and lessening temptations for young men, Pendleton can con scientiously Invite parents to send their children here. To those who have contemplated going to Walla Walla, Pendleton holds up clean hands to you and declares that she has determined to rid her Belf of the objectionable elements that have cursed the city and stood a menace to boy and girls In the past. To those of you who have been sending your children to Portland and Spokane and other places for aca demic education, Pendleton offers to you two academies, under Christian supervision, equipped with the fullest academic course, under the most ca pable teachers and with the best pos sible surroundings. At no other point In the state or In the Inland Empire has the public school reached the perfection and usefulness attained by the Pendleton public schools. "Within four years, the high school has grown from a weak and uncertain affair, with 17 pupils, to a strong, well regulated, well eaulpped, well trained high school with an attend ance of over 100 during the winter just passed, and graduating from five to 12 student each year. These facta are Impressed upon the people of Umatilla and surrounding counties, now at th close of the school year, when people are making arrangements for the future educa tion of their children. Pendleton will rapidly become a model town. Morals are being ele vated. Business men are determin ed that there shall be no barrier to the highest development of the school facilities and school surroundings, and with this in view have taken steps to permanently regulate and suppress vices and' temptations that have heretofore been too brazen, too plentiful. You are Invited to make your home here. AWAITING JIDGMKNT. Twice have the people of Umatilla county Indorsed the assessment of C. P. Strain at the polls; twice have boards of equalization indorsed his work: once has the circuit court in dorsed and upheld It and repeatedly hus the press and people of the county supported and sanctioned him. Judgment from the highest state court is now awaited with Interest. The tendency all over the west Is toward higher valuations. Umatilla county is not alone in this move ment. Strain is not unsupported in his contentions, but Multnomah coun ty announces that she will raise her assessment 300 per cent next year. Clackamas county has raised railroad values, Walla Walla county. In Wash ington, has raised values, and other counties are swinging into line on the subject. The objections of the O. R. & N. to the assessment are groundless. One of the chief points of objection rais ed by the company's attorneys is that in the assessment the letters, "O. R. & N." might not mean the Oregon Railroad & Navigation company. If such is the case, the company has placed its earmark? upon a world of property, belonging to others, for every Item of property from ties to locomotives are branded with the let ters "O. R. & N." This is a sample of the objections to the assessment and will not stand as a barrier to an early and just de cision. This matter is ore of the funda mental questions now before the peo ple. It Is coming to be well founded in economics that higher assessments, more careful search for property heretofore hidden behind law and custom, are necessary to a proper distribution of the burdens of gov ernment. The people of Unn'tllia county have consented to this advance and have paid their taxes and there Is no rea son for the railroad e.ompany to long er delay the wheels of progress. A WORD TO READERS. Every postofflce in Umatilla coun , every rural route and every set tlement receives in large numbers, the different issues of the East Ore gonlan. Ever- block and street in the city of Pendleton enjoyr 's presence and it goes In large number to every ad jacent county. It reaches the homes, where it Is received gladly. Is paid for and Is read with Interest and zest. This condition of its circulation is called to the attention of advertisers. It reaches the buyers of the county. It goes to no deadheads. It Is forced upon no one, is sent to no dead nor absent subscribers and it brings bus iness to Pendleton. It now appeals to Its subscribers in Pendleton, in Umatilla county. In adjoining counties, to read the adver tisements In the paper and heed them when trading. When you buy any thing in Pendleton, buy It from an advertiser In this paper. The East Oregonlan represents a principle, stands for better morals, and is being opposed ty a large ele ment in the community which op poses better morals. rnis element has bluffed a few people to cause them to withdraw their patronage from this paper because of Its stand for better morals. It therefore appeals to its readers to trade with and support those who show their colors by standing for better morals and better conditions in this city. Read tbe advertisements and remember them. , The National Association of State and Dairy Food Departments has sounded a warning against adulter ated -"baby foods,' and declares that last year 445,000 Infants died from causes primarily due 'to the adultera tion of food. This Is a dreadful In dictment to draw against any man or set of men, and Immediate action should be taken to punish them. But there is another fruitful source of dis ease and death among children, and It Is to be found In the iniquitous "sweatshop" and child labor systems In vogue In many of the large cities. While publicists are decrying the evils of adulterations that lead to the slaughter of Innocent children, let them also turn their attention to these other and equally great evils that are not only slaughtering thous ands of children every year, but are I blasting the lives' of thousands of men and women and adding daily to the great social problems that must be settled If this republic is to endure. t HIMSTAIMZING THE AFRICANS. F. U. Guthrie, who is stationed at Elat, West Africa, in one of the mis sions of the Presbyterian board of foreign missions, tells of missionary work among the native tribes, which Includes industrial training as well as religious teaching. Klat is about 100 miles east of the Atlantic coast and is three degrees north of the equator. It is in the heart of the country in habited by the Bulu tribe. Tlie sta tion has 136 acres of laud, about half of which has been cleared. Fruit trees have been set out and plantains, bananas, pineapples, mahabas (a-yam-llke tuber), corn, white potatoes and other garden vegetables are rais ed. Mr. Guthrie tells of a plan to devote a large part of the station nreat the cultivation of rubber. Rice cultiva tion is also to be tried. He adds: "We hope within the year to have 100 head of sheep and goats, 10 or 12 native cattle, a beginning of a herd of swine, and possibly some Imported milk cattle. "If you spend a month or a year in Africa living on tinned meats, butter and milk, you would appreciate the missionary's desire for stock. The great need of the nutives, 'after Christ,' is the knowledge and oppor tunity to make a living. This we are convinced must be found from the soil and for this reason are paying much attention now to agricultural work. Craftsmen are also needed and we are about to start a class of six boys In carpentering, and tailor ing, shoemaklng and blacksmithing classes will follow." Nearly 100 miles. north of the Elat station In West Africa, and much nearer the coast is the Presbyterian mission station at Lolodorf, establish ed in 1897, with the special purpose of working among the tribes of dwarfs In the Ngumba country. The dwarfs are great hunters and live in the heart of the forest. They are ex ceedingly timid and therefore diffi cult to approach. During a visit to the West ,frican missions, made recently by the Rev. .A. W. Halsey. a secretary of the Presbyterian board, he and two of the missionaries made a trip into the for ests to find the dwarfs. The other natives are little to be depended upon for aid in finding them as the dwarfs sell meat to other tribes at very low prices and the natives fear that con tact with white people may make the little men discontented with the prices obtained. But by the gift of four yards of cloth a guide was ob tained for Dr. Halsey's party and a dwarf vl'lage'was found. The Rev. Mr. Heminger tells the story of the trip. "At about noon we reached a place where we turned off the main path and entered the forest, following for an hour what the na tives call a path, but what would be easily lost by a white man. We came in the heart of the forest to a village of dwarfs. . This hunting for dwarfs is rather exciting. For if one wishes to find them he must be as careful as if he were hunting wild animals, or when he has reached a village he will find that the dwarfs have disap peared. We were fortunate in finding two of' them in the woods chopping, who were persuaded to take us to their town. They went uhead to prepare the poeple for our coming, but in spite of this precaution we found, when we came to the village, that everyone who could run, except three or four older men, had gone Into the bush. We sat down and commenced talking to them and laughing, thus winning their con fidence. In a short time others be gan to return, and ut a meeting we held In the evening we had over 30 present. We slept at the village that night, returning to Lolodorf In the morning. The first prize ut the cattle show now being held ut Florence, Italy, was won by a bull owned by Count Passerlol. The bull weighs 1430 kilograms (over 3300 pounds.) This Is said to be a world's record. I am compelled by a sense of gratitudi to tell you the great good your remedj has done me in a case of Contagious Blow Poison.
