The big papers of Portland sharply
censure the country papers for en
gaging in personalities week after
week, and then the big dallies forth
with engage in a battle of personali
ties so bitter and senseless as to make
the little papers ashamed that they
ever stooped to such tactics.
The brutal and revolting order ofj
that acme of arrogant knaves, John,
Alexander Dowie, to the effect that!
every mother In "Zlon," as he calls
bis settlement of mental Imbeciles,
shall bear a child every year, is the
Omit of beastliness. Polygamy Is a
white angel compared to the inhu
man, unnatural and imposslblo creed
of this old hog.
If you can't go to the beach for a
month with the family, then go out
on the creek bank and camp for a
time. Every family In a climate like
this deserves an outing in the moun
tains or at the coast and many people
deny themselves a week's outing be
cause they think a camp on the creek
bank or In the Umatilla county moun
tains is a monotonous and tiresome
diversion. Try IL Make a regular
thing of camping for two weeks every
year and every two weeks camped out
during the extremely hot weather will
mean a year added to life.
The statistical and crop editor of the
Portland Oregonlan rode througji
Umatilla county on the mixed Walla
Walla-Pendleton O. R. & N. train a
few nights ago, but never stopped
over a day In the county, so he Is
highly qualified to speak on actual
wheat yields. If there was a bushel)
of wheat in tho county which this
eagle-eyed statistician did not see, on
this hurried tour, he does not know
where it is hidden away. Therefore
his estimate of 4,000,000 bushels for
Umatilla county is supposed to be cor
rect, to the kernel. Now, since this
scientific statistician has ridden
through the county and surveyed the
crop in sight of the raiiroad, let no
farmer who pays for the threshing,
speak of the wheat yield. The statis
tician knows.
Friends of law enforcement and im
proved morals all over the county
are watching the movement In Pen
dleton. And not only In Umatilla
county are people awakening to the
fact that saloon domination has
reached the limit, but Jill over Oregon
tnd all over the United States. Every
paper is filled with stories of law en
forcement und suppression of vice, In
nexpected quarters. Newspapers
that are standing for the enforcement
of the law and belter conditions are
jure to suff-r loss of business for a
time, but Intelligent business men will
not be dictated to by saloons when
they find that the majority of the peo-
pie are against the saloons. If the
people on the moral side will stand
together In business as well a In sen
Ument, they will soon prove to the
lawbreakers, who furnlshe the bulk
f the business of merchants. If
liny inquire who their friends are and
patronize them, the saloon men's bojr-
olt will soon end In disgrace and defeat.
IS IT COMING TO THIS?
Following la an Associated Press
dispatch which has been sent out
from Colfax, Wash., to the reading
public. It needs no comment.
"Colfnx, Wash., Aug. 21. An at
tempt was made to murder R. T.
Street about midnight last night. As
he was going to his room In the Col
fax Implement company's warehouse,
he was assaulted by nn unknown thug,
while passing through a dark shed,
and seriously Injured. The assassin
shut at Street and tha bullot passed
through his coat. They grappled and
fought viciously. Street using a hatch
et he carried In his hands, nnd the
assassin using knife or dirk.
Street's scalp was laid open to the
bono in two places, his nose cut half
In two and his kneecap split with a
sharp knife. He managed to hit his
assailant one blow with the hatchet
and the thug ran away, leaving his
hat with a hole cut through it A
trail of blood was visible for two
blocks, but tho thug escaped In the
darkness, as the electric light engine
broke down at this time, leaving the
town in utter darkness.
"Street caused the arrest of four
saloon keepers last Monday for viola
tion of the Sunday-closing law. and
each pleaded guilty and paid a fine of
$50 and costs. Street announced he
would demand of the city council at
tomorrow night's meeting that li
censes of these saloons be revoked, in
compliance with the city ordinance
which provides for such action for
violation of Sunday-closing ordinance.
It Is believed the attempt to murder
him is a result of this threat."
As a comparison of the people and
conditions in parts of Tennessee and
In Oregon and Washington, Just maks
a canvass of the people living any
where within a radius of 100 miles
from the Whitman monument at
Walla Walla, and see how many will
not know practically all about the
missionary, his life work and tragic
death. Then turn to Tennessee, and
see how few living In tho very shadow
of Mcrlmether Lewis' monument
know anything about the man or his
achievement. And yet Tennessee is
one of the dearest old states In the
south. She has given the nation some
of its best nnd strongest characters
anil cnntiMi I ti. ui o.i for lack of
educational Interest aramw her moun
taineers. Baker county papers say a report
has reached there that the Umatilla
county crop is short. Let Baker look
to her own laurels. If Umatilla coun
ty ever had the promise of a good
year. It is now. If 30 to 60 bushels
per acre on the best land and 20 to
25 on the second grade, land is a fail
ure, then we are overwhelmed with
failure. More farmers in Umatilla
county will leave the farm this year,
with a full competence, and ready to
live henceforth in town to educate
their families, than ever before in any
year. Failure? Why. the dictionaries
down here do not contain such a
word.
A large number of anxious politi
cians are now agitating the question
as to whether the direct primary law
will be beneficial or not It may not
exactly suit old warhorses whose oc
cupation for a lifetime has been the
carving of ready-made slates for cut-and-dried
conventions, but it stands
to reason that it will suit the Indi
vidual voter who may desire to do his
own thinking and voting.
THE END OF A PLUTOCRAT.
A Missouri exchange thus bids
farewell to a departed citizen: "He
was a man of push. He played mar
bles for keeps when a boy and cheat
ed all of his playmates out of their
alleys; he swapped a bladeless knife,
night unseen, for a four-blader, sold
!hat for 50 cents, bought a pound of
sugar and some lemons and made a
barrel of lemonade, which he sold on
circus day for JS. He started In
business and sold bad meats for
choice cuts and made a fortune.
When he got J1000 he organized a
company with 11.000.000 capital,
mostly water, and sold the stock at
par, and when the company burst It
was found that he had sold out some
time before. When he died he was a
millionaire and left It all here. It Is
warm where he Is now."
THE HARDEST METAL.
The Buccess of tantalum as a ma
teria! for electric lamp filaments has
drawn attention to the remarkable
properties of the metal, and may lead
to many demands If tho supply can be
sufficiently Increased. Chief of these
properties, as Dr. Mollwo Perkln
points out, Is extreme ductility, com
bined with extraordinary hardness.
A diamond drill, rotating 6000 times
a minute for three days and three
nights, penetrated only a quarter
through a sheet of tantalum one
twenty-fifth of In inch thick, and the
diamond was much worn. This hard
ness suggests the use of the metal for
drills in place of the diamond. Kan

BAVARIA'S FARMERS TAUGHT
BY GOVERNMENT.
Consul Bardel. writing from Bam
berg, Germany, says that In order to
promote agricultural intorests the
kingdom of Bavaria has established
agricultural schools In 31 towns. Those
schools Are In charge of teachers who,
In addition to nn academical educa
tion, must be generally efficient In
botany, geology, chemistry, physics,
zoology, nnd natural history. The
consul says:
At a time when nothing is doing in
the fields, from November to March,
these schools are open, and peasant
farmers for a nominal fee can attend
courses on cultivation and fertilization
of tho soil, the proper succession of
crops on the same land, the best
sources for good seeds, Irrigation, and
the raising of stock. They aro made
acquainted with improvements and
new Inventions In agricultural Imple
ments the adoption of which can be
recommended. They are taught the
rudiments of bookkeeping and other
commercial knowledge essential for
the up-to-date farmer.
In the spring, after these farmers
have returned to their work in the
fields it becomes tho duty of the
teachers who instructed them during
the winter to travel from county to
county and act as advisors to tho far
mers. Much good results from the
travels of these wandering teachers.
By practical suggestions to the far
mers they Induce them to make valu
able Improvements In the cultivation
of their farms.
The wandering teacher helps tj
form co-operative clubs for tho Joint
Interests of a number of farmers la
one district. From time to time the
teacher has to lecture in these clubs
on any subject practical or scientific
which might prove of Interest to the
members. These visits and lectures
to the different districts are entirely
free to the people, since the state as
sumes all expenses.
There is probably no other country
in the world in which so much Is
done by the state for Us rural Inhabi
tants as is the case in Bavaria. Other
German states have these agricultural
schools, but their teachers are not
sent in such a practical way direct
to the places whore they an do the
most good, as Is done here. The re
sults of this commendable care have
been very gratifying.
ROBBERY BY MAGIC.
A very strange case has been filed
by the police before the first class
magistrate and mukhtyarkar of Hy
derabad (Sim'.)
Some time ago at the village of
Chhato Machl lumps of clay began to
drop from the ceilings of . all the
houses. No human agency could be
detected, so . the villagers concluded
that It was the doing of evil spirits.
The annoyance caused was so great
that they left the village in a body
and settled in the neighborhood.
After a few days a fakir was
brought in who said he would drive
out the genii, Lo! at the fakir's strik
ing the roofs of some of the houses
and some of the trees dried cocoanuts
and Hugar began to fall In abundance
on' the ground, which were distribut
ed.
The faker then directed that all the
ornaments, cash, etc., In the village
should be put In a grain stack and a
vessel of water placed over the stack,
He would then repeat certain incan
tations and pour libations toward the
village and the spirits would take
flight.
The fakir then distributed some
sweets to all the people, men, women
und children. In a few minutes all
the people fell into a profound
sleep which lasted about three days.
The ornaments and cash were, of
course, removed by the fakir, who has
disappeared. Lahore Tribune.
THE NEXT DEAL.
The fellow who sits In the game of
life
With only a deuce and a tray
May feel that with trials his hand Is
rife.
And It's scarce worth the trouble
to play;
Rut still, let him ploy It the best that
he knows,
Nor e'er his depression reveal.
For when the hand's played It Is fair
to suppose
That the Dealer will give a new
deal,
A. J. Waterhouse In San Fran
cisco Call.
Repartee From "Cow Counties."
The Crook County Journal says that
a man was frozen to death on the
streets of Prlnevllle a few days ago.
He had read the thermometer upside
down and thought It was 96 degrees
I ulow zero, and expired Instantly.
That's strange, but no mora so than
un incident occurring In Lakeview
about the same time. Dick Wilcox,
assistant cashier of the First National
bank, hung a thermometer upside
down in hts cow barn and the next
morning his cow gave lee cream.
Lakeview Examiner,
THE FATE OF GENIUS.
Peace Is the price of Genius he who
wears j
The laurel wreath must walk alone, '
apart,
Too oft the victim of Life's petty
cares, j
While hope deferred or treason -crush
the heart.
To him who walks alone the -solemn
height, j
Where Genius solves the problems
of mankind, j
There conies no gleam of human
warmth and light, j
Since those who might befriend ami
serve are blind.
And then Death rends the veil thet
holy soul,
Disheartened, weary, all unknown
to fame,
Foregoes the race of Life for heaven's
goal.
And men too late applaud an
other name.

NEW MINERAL FROM CEYLON.
Thorlu, or oxide of Thorium, is used
In the manufacture of "mantles" for
Incandescent gas burners. Hitherto
almost the only source of that ma
terial has been tho so-called mona-
zlte sands, of which there are depos
its In North Carolina. European
makers of mantles, however, have had
trouble In procuring supplies from
America. Hence they are pleased
over an announcement which comes
from London chemists regarding a
mineral discovered a year or two ago
in Ceylon. It Is known as thorlanlte.
Consignments of this substance,
containing about 70 per cent of
thorla, have been sold in England at
1500 a 'ton. Unlike other thorium
minerals, thorlanlte contains uncom-
blned thorla which dissolves In nitric
acid to form thorium nitrate. The
portion soluble in this acid contains
from 72 to 79 per cent of thorla, to
gether with smaller quantities of
uranium, cerium, lead and Iron ox
Ides, the Insoluable part contains
silica and zlrconla, and a certain
amount of helium has also been ob
tained from the mineral.

live here are objects of pity and solici

the sand covers a targe area of the
territory, these little valleys I have
Just described are as fertile aa the
soil of Egypt or the prairies of Iowa,
and nowhere can a larger return per
acre be obtained If water is available.
The reports of the geological sur
vey credit Arizona wltn 10,000.000
acres of arable lands more than all
the New England states combined

Irrigation Is several times as great as

of the Alleghany mountains. Seven
crops of alfalfa are cut In some lo
calities near here, and two crops can
be harvested from nearly every' farm.
Nearly all of the land that can be
easily Irrigated has been taken up,

Is dependent upon the construction of
reservoirs for the storago of the

HER ANSWER.
Today, dear heart, but Just today,
The sunshine over all,
The roses crimsoning the air
Along the garden wall!
Then let the dream and dreamer die;
Whate'er shall be, shall be
Today will still be thine and mine
To all eternity.
And oh, there Is no glory, dear,
When all the world Is done,
There Is no splendor lasteth out
The sinking of the sun;
There is no thing that lasts, not one,
When we have turned to clay.
But this: you loved mo all the rest
Fades with the world away.
So little while, so little while
This world doth last for us.
There Is no way to keep It dear.
But Just to spend It thus.
There Is no hand may stop the sand
From flowing fast away
But his who turns th whole glass
down
And dreams 'tis all today.
