O my heart! Wilt thou look and
learn?
Out of the havoc of blood and
strife.
Sec, where the red of the sod
we turn .
Blossoms the grace of a strange
new life!
Sorrow and hatred and pain will
go,
Sharpness of death that, too,
will cease;
Out of our agony, roses grow;
Out of our heartache. Infinite
peace.

RESOLUTIONS MEAN NOTHING.
Since tho fiasco in the National
Good Roads congress In Portland, and j
the recent political tangle in ihe
Trans-Mississippi congress, it Is asked j
by many thinking men ot the west lf,,Mr,.ss nnA ,,,.,.. hlckorv bnrk1..
the national association and national
convention craze Is not running to
the dangerous extreme in this coun
try. Congresses organized by delegates
from numerous states having conflict
ing Interests are certain to have all
their actions nullified by compromises
and trades. There never can be a
definite, decisive utterance upon any
subject upon which the national gov
ernment could safely and intelligently
act In making legislation In response
to the requests of national conven
tions for the advancement of com
mercial Interests.
The colorless and meaningless reso
lution of the. Trans-Mlssisslppl con
gress upon the subject of Chinese ex
clusion, cannot be taken by the gov
ernment to signify any definite ex-
presslon of sentiment of the people of commensurate to the business and j
the country. The resolutions and population of the county, between this !
counter resolutions before the con-M.)t. aml Walla Wallu. By the pceu-1
ercss were alternately presented nndhisr necessity of railroad schedules. I

manufacturers. It will not Justify the !
government In relaxing In the strictest
enforcement of the Chinese exclusion
law, nor will It give China any hope
for better conditions.
It Is simply a compromise and that
means nothing
Many of these national associations
nnd national congresses are founded
on the hope of securing national leg
islation for special Interests. If ac
tion for the general good of the coun
try Is taken. It may be taken for
granted that such action does not con
flict with any private Interests, other
wise It would have been defeated Just
as the resolutions asking for the rigid
enforcement of tho exclusion law was
snowed under In the Trans-Mlssisslppl
congress.
The government really cannot take
seriously any recommendations com
ing from these national conventions
for the advancement of commercial
interests. Each tub must stand upon
Its own bottom after all Is snld nnd
congress must give each district Its
Just dues as such are presented In
moments of sanity and cool reason by
members In congress regardless of
Junketing conventions.
PENDLETON IN MANCIU'RIA.
Pendleton has been advertised by
her products to the ends of the world.
The Oregon Sunday Journal of
August 20, published a photograph of
15,000 sacks of Pendleton flour being
loaded on the commissary carts of
the Russian army, In the streets of
Mukden, Manchuria; tho day before j
the memorable battle In that city last i
spring.
The words on the flour sacks were
perhaps the only English words everl
looked upon by thousands of the lg -
noranl Russian soldiers, who wonder-
Ingly tried to decipher some meaning
from the strange legends printed upon
this Pendleton, Oregon, product.
Down In Nlu Cluvting, Manchuria,
nt the same time, Pendleton Indian
t
robes were to he found In large num
bers In the American and English
colony, and in the office of the Amer
ican consul at Nlu Chwnng, was to
be seen copies of tho East Oregonlan,
which Is regularly read by the mem
bers of the legation In that city.
No other Oregon city has enjoyed i collapsed or were thrown from their
as wide advertisement through Its j foundations, and large fissures' ap
products as Pendleton. j reared in the earth.

JAPAN.
From llhoshlniu. Japan, a olty on
thc Inland sea, where are situated
some of the Japanese military hos
pitals, comes to the Presbyterian
hoard of foreign missions, from Rev.
V. It. I.angsilorf the report of u se-
ere earthquake which occurred a
few weeks ago. Mr. Lungsdorf says:
"It was the worst ever experienced
in this part of Japan. The natives
say that about SO years ago much
damage was, done and many people
Injured, but this shock was the worst
the city has experienced. Many per
sons were killed or injured, houses

llrst shock came 1 was at one of the
military hospitals trying to help some
of thi wounded soldiers. I was talk

be seen evidences of visitation.

Their one care Is a constant watch
for opportunity and their rule of hon-
I or Is respect for every other man's
right to try. They laugh when they
win. because succchm In a successful
country need not he taken too seri
ously. They laugh also when they
fall, because failure amid so many
opportunities Is ludicrous. They are
crude and they meet their social
problems In their wives' names. Their
optimism Is the optimism of plenty;
their conceit grows out of their
achievements.

THE OKWiOX GRAPE.
Sing ho. heigh ho, for the Oregon
grape,
Heigh ho for the Oregon holly,
Her beauty blooms through all our
rooms
On every day that's Jolly;
Her gay leaves tell of wedding bell
And glad Thanksgiving day,
c if Christmas chime nnd New Year's
time
And merry first of May.
In winter snow or summer glow
Her green leaves laugh as fair,
Her lustrous smile ihe days beguile
When ralu-elouds fill the air.
She crowns our dead when life Is
sped,
She wreathes lb' bridal hall,
The day of birth, the day of mirth
She garlands first of all.
At sweet sixteen her luster sheeu
Willi lights and music vie.
Commencement days reflect her rays
Above each earnest eye:
Then ho. sing ho, for the Oregon
grape.
Our brilliant winter bloom.
Her subtle spell enveileth well
The bridal or the tomb.

THE PEST OF THE SOUTH.
"Siegomya Faselata" Is the name,
applied to mankind's present great
est enemy in the south, says the Den
ver Post.
The bite of the rattlesnake Is as'
nothing compared to the sting of
this little Insect so small that It is
difficult to see It until It has Inflict
ed its bite, leaving the dread yellow
lever germ. You scarcely hear Its
buzzing as It strikes you perhaps on
the face, perhaps on the ankle ami
this Is why all the people now keep
fanning desperately.
The stegomya faselata is a member
of the mosquito family, but a very
recent one, bred In the open cesspools
and drains of New Orleans nnd other
sections of the south, spreading
plague in all quarters.
As a spreader of d sease the mos
quito is the most deadly of Insects
and the manner In wh'ch mosquitoes
breed and the tendenev to carry dead
ly germs make them a pest difficult
to combat. Usually depositing her
eggs. In number from UitO to 400. on
Ihe surface of the water In some un
clean hole, the female mosquito Is
easily more to be feared than a pest
hn'ue. In warm weather the eggs are
deposited before dawn nnd will hatch
by afternoon. The larvae are active

little creatures known as "wrigglers"
which are so often found In rnln
water barrels'. The life of a mosquito
Is from two to It) days, according to
the warmth of the weather, the life
helng shorter us the weather Is hot
ter. The common mosquito Is found
from Alaska lo Central America, but
the yellow fever germ-hearer, as plc
lured, Is peculiar to the swampy dis
tricts of Ihe southern stnte. There,
however, It breeds only under condi
tions of uurlcunllness. In New Or
leans Ihe yellow fiver started In one
of the poorer sections of the city,
where the cesspools wer permitted
to remain open in Ihe hot sun of tor
rid days.
The stegumya faselata could not
live in Colorado and the altitude
makes it Impossible to breed here,
and. In fact, the same reason applies
to all germ carriers of the mosquito
family, for the dangerous ones can
not thrive at a greater height than
!!0 feet above sea level.

A barrel of salt Is produced In the
United States each year for every
four Inhabitants.
New York Is the leading salt pro
ducing state, the yield being one bar
rel for each Inhabitant.
We buy 8600.000 worth of salt from
other nations, and sell only $100,000
worth, largely to Mexico, Japan nnd
Canada.
Salt costs the producer less than
one-tenth of a cent a pound. Never
mind the grocery price. Uncle Sam's
1904 figures are 27.332 cents for each
barrel of 208 pounds.
