Earth, mother dear, I turn, at lust. A ho'neslck child, to thee! The twilight glow Is fading fast, And soon I shall be free To seek the dwelling, dim and vast, Where thou awaltest me. I am so weary, mother dear! Thy chllii, of dual race. Who gazing past the star-beams clear, Sought the t'ndylng's face! Now I but ask to know thee near, To feel thy large embrace! Florence Earl Coates. . MISSOIRI MEANS BISINENS. H. H. Rogers, the Standard OH magnate and criminal, who Is now be ing examined by Attorney General Hadley of Missouri, has proved the un-American aristocrat that hs is, by answering the questions of the attor ney general with flippancy and Inso lence. When Rogers is dealing with the state of Missouri he Is not fooling with a spring chicken or a tenderfoot. Missouri comes as near knowing what is law, and what is commercial decency and honor as any state or country on earth, and H. H. Rogers, John D. Rockefeller, nor no other parasite can long suck the blood from her people without a protest that will be a protest. Rogers Insolently assumes that be cause he is Immensely rich he is above the law. He insultingly answers plain, direct, fair, business questions as to the operations of his octopus In Missouri with flippant, egotistical, in solent affrontery and when the maj esty of the law rises before him and he is made to know his position, he then relapses Into a state of speech less ignorance, confessing- to know nothing. He will know that he has been in a scrap when Missouri finishes his case. THE LIVESTOCK ASSOCIATION. The livestock growers of the coun try hold their annual convention in Denver, beginning the 29th of this month and extending to February 3. It should be a largely attended meet ing for the long deferred hope of the range men Is about to be realized. Years ago they began a campaign to show the country that there are several hundred millions of acres of public domain that has no economic use in sight except for grazing. By a long hearing before the house com mlttee on public lands they made their case and created tne literature of the subject, which has since been sent alt over the country. The president appointed a commis sion to consider the matter, and a bill is now before congress which will put a stop to the destruction of the range by occupancy In common, and will put the government behind the stock ranger to protect his right to a suf ficient range to enable him to carry on his business. When this becomes the law we may anticipate increased prosperity on the range and a cessation of the bloody war long waged for its possession, by the strong arm. A few men have procured this so lution of the problem by sticking to It. with but little encouragement from the general livestock Industry. But the benefits of the coming regulation will flow to all. RELEASE EXCESS LAND. ing with it. Private irrigation com ptinles can proceed slowly to reclaim much of It and this is what Is wanted For nearly four years this tract has been withdrawn from entry except under the homestead law, and all de velopment of irrigation has been bar red during that time. In the past year about 80 miles of ditch have been built In the Echo and Butter creek country, and this rapid development will continue if the government will release the Butter creek reservation. Much of the land withdrawn for that project can be reached by the dlteh companies now operating In that vicinity and the government surely knows by this time whether the Butter creek project is feasible or not. EARLIER MAIL 1-iSOM THE EAST, Pendleton now receives New York mail 24 hours earlier than before the first of the year. Pupers and letters formerly reaching hero on No. 5 Wed nesday night at 11 o'clock, now reach here on Tuesday night. It isn't a matter of life and death to get mail a day earlier, but In the commercial circles of the country. It counts. The greatest advantage, per haps, is the shorter time required for government mall to reach the orient, the Philippines and other far eastern points. How has the schedule been reduced 24 hours in traversing the 3000 miles of the American continent? Who knows the keen competition which has forced this higher speed from the locomotives of the railroad com panies? Where was the time short ened and by whom? In the 3000-mile stretch across the continent perhaps 20 locomotive en gineers haul the mail trains. Each of these men men have done their part In clipping off 24 hours from the lready alarming train time. The schedule was not shortened by one stroke nor on one road. Begin ning at the Union depot In New York city, the schedules have been studied to ascertain where a minute could be saved. Unimportant stops were abolished. and thus two minutes required In stop ping and starting, were saved: speed was increased to the danger point at some crossing, where formerly the flyer slowed down for a minute; a town formerly having three minutes' stop for the fast train Is given but two minutes; on level stretches of country, speed was increased a few seconds per mile and through the country villages where trains were formerly required to slow down they now fly by with lightning speed. Thus, minute by minute, the 24 hours have been gained. Perhaps the greatest gain In time is on the western roads, where steep mountains must be contended with and heavy grades encountered. Here every effort is made to gain a few minutes' time. It means more coal shoveling for firemen, more strenuous spurts of speed for high-wheeled en gines, built for fast running, and thus, drop by dropand mile by mile, the new schedule Is formed and the public knows nothing of Its Inner workings. That Its mall comes earli er Is sufficient. Salt Is one of the articles of chief Importance In Mexican commerce. Be sides the regular food consumption, large quantities are required for the cattle and sheep of the grazing reg ions. The patlco process of extracting sliver also consumes thousands of tons annually. In the mining districts of Northern Mexico, salt brings a high price. On the Island of Carmen In the gulf of California, about 150 miles north west of the port of Topolobampo. are great deposits of salt that , have been made by the action of the sea water. Under a concession granted by the government, salt works have been es tablished on the island and an indus try established which promises to be come of great Importance. With the opening of railroad communication from the coast to the mining districts of the Sierra Madras this salt, duty free, can be furnished very much cheaper than the present supply, and will cut quite a figure in the expense of the patlco process-. The New Em pire. YERKES IS VNWEIT. The people of Echo and vicinity should petition the secretary of the interior to release the land withdrawn from entry for the Butter creek irri gation scheme if this scheme Is not feasible, and will not be undertaken. It is detrimental to the country to withhold this vast tract from settle ment if the government will do noth- The New York palace and art col lection of the late Charles T. Yerkes has been given to the Metropolitan museum, says the San Francisco Star. The value of this bequest of the dead multi-millionaire is said to be $5,000,000. There Is no doubt that the building Is a costly thing, and Borne of the pictures and curios may be worth seeing, but as a whole the gift is like one of those wondrously beautiful orchids of repulsive, sicken ing odor, described by South Ameri can travelers. In years to come, when slght-seors pass through the marble halls of the Yerkes annex to the museum, the name of the giver will be mentioned with scant regard, In spite of his of fering. It will be told of him, with truth, that he stopped at nothing In his struggle for great wealth. Most of his schemes were concelv ed on a grand scale, and had they been carried through by fair means. the man who planned them would have won deserved admiration. Chicago and the state of which It Is the chief city, will feel for years the blighting effects of the bribery and corruption which attended the course of that man's accumulation control and development of the Met ropolitan street railway lines. And the scandalous details of the man's life that will be whispered and repeated In the picture galleries that he owned for a few short years will not omit the story of heartlessness that divided his home and made his last hours lonely and pitiful. A horizontal stope In the Tamar ack copper mine at Calumet, Mich., Is on fire. Three men, names unknown were caught In the stope and burned to death. THE IRRIGATED LAND. Through countless centuries I slept! Sun-baked and thirsty to the core, While over other lands there crept The moisture plentiful and more. Day followed day no living thing Upon my famished bosom grew; No song of birds, nor anything That other lands In fullness knew. shunned was I by the march of man Counted, as treacherous and base: By men and beasts placed 'neath the ban And marked with scorn the desert place. They came! and waked me from mv sleep. Held to my thirsty Hps the cup. And drinking, drinking, long and deep. My head, In glndness, I held up. And now across my fertile fields The farmer takes his busy way, In glory my dominion yields Its richest treasures day by day. The waving grass, so cool and sweet. Bedecks the one-time desert place: Ashamed no more, I gladly greet My children, men, now face to face. Clifford Trembly In Sunset. THE NAVY'S NEY WEAPON. AN ISLAND OF SALT. THE POOREST SENATOR. John M. Gearin, recently appointed United States senator from Oregon to succeed the late John H. Mitchell, will be the poorest man In the United States senate. He owns no property and has no money In the bank. It is true he has a lucrative law business. He owes nothing and does not lack at all for the comforts of life; but he has saved nothing. The senator him self called attention to the fact. Sen ator Gearin Is the fourth man to go to the United States senate from the law office from which he comes, the others having been John H. Mitchell, J. N. Dolph and Joseph Simon. The new senator probably Is Oregon's most effective public speaker. Wash" Ington Dispatch. Chicago's Greatest Hotel. Chicago Is to have a $14,000,000 hotel which In size and cost will eclipse that of any other hostelry In the world. It will be built on the lake front, the present auditorium furnish ing a part of the site. It will be 14 stories high and will contain 2000 rooms. The Congress hotel and annex will be the name of the new cara vansary. Much of the finish will be In marble and onyx. Plans have been agreed upon and It Is expected active work will begin next spring. Santa Claus' home Is at the north pole, but he boards around In human hearts.

GALLAGHER., Mgr. 81 3 Main St. The United States navy has a power ful new weapon In the shape of a novel high-speed turbine torpedo, which possesses conspicuous advantages over the Whitehead torpedo now in use. The new weapon Is a self-propelling missile having an extreme range of 4000 yards, the contact guaranteed range being 3500 yards, and Is capa ble of traveling at the rate of 37 knots, Its pace at the start being nearly a mile a minute. Some of the striking characteristics of the new torpedo ure described by Walter L. Beasley In the current Har per's Weekly. Its record-breaking performances, it appears, outclass those of the old Whltemead by eight or 10 knots In speed nnd almost dou ble the distance in range. Although It Is available to European nations, It Is at present possessed only by the United States navy, and so for the present adds greatly to our naval efficiency, The new model is a cignr-Bhaped shell of steel, measuring 16 feet nine inches In length and 17 3-4 Inches in its largest diameter and weighing 1800 pounds. It is divided into three main parts, the first of which, the war head, holds the explosive charge, con sisting of 132 pounds of guncotton. WHITE'S ASSIGNMENT.
