People who have had their fingers burned in a money panic are ever after distrustful and suspicious of fi nancial conditions. In Pendleton are several business men who experienced the panic of 1893-4, and who are ever predicting a repetition of those direful days of depression and bankruptcy. It seems that a mere glance at con ditions today would dispel every fear of this sort. In 1893 when the panic struck the west three-fourths of the farms In the country were plastered over with mortgages held by eastern capitalists, and consequently when the stringency struck the east. Its money centers immediately drew in capital invested In the west. This, coming at a time when land and grain were both low, made it doubly hard for farmers to pay up and bad it not been for the honesty and devotion of several financial agents who could control the eastern capital holding mortgages In the west, many entire communities would have be come bankrupt beyond hope of recov ery. Today. In the eight bank.) of Uma tilla county are over $4,000,000 In de posit. The mortgages upon Umatilla county farms are held almost exclus ively by local bunks and local capital ists, so whatever happens In the east all dange r of depression In this line Is dispelled by this condition. The county Is absolutely Independ ent and self-supporting. Wheat Is commanding a good price and since the demand Is constantly Increasing the prices promise to remain high. Wool is constantly Increasing In value and the sheepmen are In excellent condition with the high prices of wool and mutton. The opening of a large Irrigated area, under the excellent private ir rigation projects now being completed In different parts of the country, promises a large addition of new peo ple, new capital, new blood and new methods. The East Oregonlan be lieves the beBt era ever enjoyed by the county Is Just now opening before it, despite the distrust of a very few people. The county Is an empire within Itself. It Is not tied up with eastern capital but can survive any shock that may come to eastern cen ters. Another hopeful promise of tho Im mediate future of the county Is found in the fact that much of the land which has been Idle In the hands of alleged "homesteaders" who were employed by large land concerns, Is being abandoned by this class of peo ple and a permanent settlement Is now going Into the southern and west ern portions of the county. Better farming methods are In creasing wheat yields every year, so mail farmers who have been on the verge of quitting for years are now experiencing a revival of hope and will hereafter have more money to spend In the trade centers. The small farm Idea Is slowly grow ing and with the completion of the Furnish Irrigation project and the other projects In the western portion of the county, will take a firm hold upon the new settlements and many more people will be added to every square mile of new territory. All these signs are hopeful and undeniable. Because a few saloon men and gam blers are depositing less money In banks than formerly is no Indication that a panic is upon us. While these people are depositing less the babies and wives of laboring men are wear ing better shoes and more warm clothing and are happier and more blei.-U in their humble homes. Everything Is working cut for the best. I THE HEELER'S JOB. It Is strange to think what the po litical heeler will do for his candi date. He will stoop lower and do more disgusting things for the boss than for himself, every time. And the boss will permit the heeler to do things and sny things that he would not do nor say himself. Perhaps there is no more tfisguxt ng and disreputable occupation on earth' than that of the professional heeler in politics. No matter what kind of a decent or respectable candi date is opposed to the heeler his methods are always the same. There Is nothing he will not stoop to do. nothing within the range of his de based mind to conceive that he will not perform. If it will In the slightest way advance his man. He corrupts everything he touches, disgraces political parties, prostitutes men holding Jobs under him, forbids anybody to think or vote contrary to his selfish view and unless men be come his tools he puts them out of business and drives them away from their positions with a merciless bru tality. It is strange to think that self-respecting men will entrust their politi cal aspiration in such disgusting hands. BKWAKE, THE IlLWD. A new fraud is being practiced by book agents In Eaker county. The agent visits the public schools and after securing a favorable recom mendation from the teacher or super intendent goes out Into the country districts and distorts the recommenda tion Into a statement that the pur chase of the books is compulsory, as It Is a part of the public school read ing. In this way several hundred sets of costly books were sold to unsuspect ing country people before the fraud was discovered. It Is hoped that Lf this form of commercial piracy reaches Umatilla county, the people will be prepared to give It the reception It so richly de serves. With plenty of good book stores In the towns of Umatilla county, there Is no cause for the people of this county to either send away for such supplies or patronize migratory agents who are often absolutely conscienceless. Pa tronize home booksellers, and all other kinds of home merchants and you need have no fears of being de frauded. The statement of the sale of young horses in this city and vicinity by W. P. York of Kilbride, is worthy of the attention of stockmen. In the East Oregonlan of Wednesday was a news item concerning Mr. York and his business, stating that he has sold every one of his 3-year-old colts in this county this season, so brisk is the demand for good stock. Formerly Mr. York sold only S-year-old horses, then the demand Increasing, he sold his -4-year-olds, and now he can scarcely get his colts weaned before a purchaser comes for them. There Is a lesson In this. No other country on earth Is so well equipped for horse raising as this. Why not breed up, build up and prepare to supply this demand? Because 20 tinhorns and nameless women have left Pendleton this full, through the activity of the Law En forcement league, the wheat yield nor the price of wool nor mutton will either be affected. , In place of these undesirable people v.ho have left town at least 50 splendid families have moved here to take advantage of the superior school facilities. Cattle raising, sheep raising, wheat raising, corn, alfalfa, hogs and poultry will continue to thrive and produce wealth In thU county If all the tin horns leave. The parochial school of St. Anne fit Lawrence, Mass., was destroyed by fire. Of the 400 girls who were In the building at the time, only one was injured. She Inhaled smoke and may die. Twenty-five girls were dropped from the third story Into nets, aa the only meant of escape. BUSY PKOPI.E NKKI TO LKARX HOW TO LOAF. A retired army officer has dlscov ered, upon returning to America after a two years' sojourn In Europe, that in his ubsence from home he has be come expatriated not from a lack of patriotism from his native land, but because he Is unable to find in the United States company for his Idle hours. Now he is on his way back to Eur ope, where there are other scientific loafers like himself. By 4S hard years In the army he hus earned, he feels, a right to loaf. And as a friend of his has put It. while this Is the greatest land that the sun shines on as long us you keep work ing, it's no atmosphere to loaf In. How fur right he is we all of us know who now and then take a duy off and try to spend It in scientific or artistic loafing. There's nobody to loaf with. Every one Is too busy making money or spending it to have any time to loaf and Invite their souls. We know how to work In America, to work magnificently. Tltanlcally. But we don't know how to live. We spend our precious youth with our noses to thi grindstone and get so nearsighted lining it that when, our labor finished, we lift our eyes to take a panoramic view of the world about, we find ourselves too blind to see any farther than the grindstone. I have become old enough to look with appreciative longing back to that time when I had seen eight summers only, and puddles In the roadway were such a temptation to my lagging feet that it took me half an hour to walk one block on my way home from school. For sometimes now I get In so Im patient a mood, in my eagerness to get ahead townrd a goal which lures me on, no less because It Is but dimly comprehended, that even at grand opera I feel annoyed because the ac tors keep me, and the rest of the au dience, waiting so long while they stand around and sing. The man who cannot be left alone with hfa thoughts Is a characteristic American type. You all know him. On the railroad he buys a paper or a magazine. Left alone In the evening he plays solitaire. Anything but think. I have seen this sort of man in Europe. lUrely does he find the con solation in exile which apparently re conciles our retired army officer to It. In his peregrinations In search of pleasure he looks more lonely than does a solitary horseman on a snowy country road. And not unlike him In restlessness is the plutocratic but un cultured American womun. whose ca reer across continents resembles the undulating, capricious flight of birds. How fortunate Is one who has loaf ed wisely in the Impressionable days of youth, who has kept alive within his breast a capacity for companion ship, a receptivity to the white fervor of faith, the warm rapture of pure and simple Joy. Think what a blessing it Is to have a quiet hour at the close of a busy day, when one may stand still, and, proud and self-contained, like an Is land In the midst of the current, rev eling in memory In the delicate wlld- ness of a bit of clover tangle, In a white mist that lingers over river meadows. What an incomparable pleasure to stop in the rush of affairs for a mo mentary recollection of the charm of a cloistered garden, mossgrown amid Its wealth of transplanted flowers, or the beauty of poppy fields undulating their slow way up the hillside. If you don't learn to loaf when you're young, you will never learn how. When you have made your for tune you are not going to be perfect ly happy spending It In Europe among other loafers, for you will be too American for that. Besides, when you have worked too long and too hard without relaxation you lose ability to enjoy, to appreciate, to loaf. What's the use of this kind of suc cess, anyway? The Cave of Mammon is not nearly so co.y and habitable as smaller, less expensive quarters. Dor othy Fennimore in Ban Francisco Call. Samples of the steel made from the ore in the beach sands were brought from Portland Tuesday evening by James Finlayson, and were viewed by many residents of this city yesterday, says tho Astoria News-Herald. The steel appears to be of a high grade, and will be tempered and ground In order that a batter Idea of Its quality may be obtained. Mr. Finlayson saw Mr. Wilson, who Is In charge of the ex periments In the metropolis, and was Informed that he (Mr. Wilson) would come to Astoria toon for the purpose of explaining to the citizens the meth od of smelting the ore taken from the sands, together with the cost of tho work. His arrival will be awaited with considerable Interest. IPEI XEW BOVX OF THE HOLMES BTT5I A tvm Collftf-, Tenth and WmMngtoii Hti..
