Copy (or advertising matter to appear In tbe hast Oregonlan must be In by 4 :43 p. m. of the preceding day ; copy for Monday's paper must be In by 4 :45 p. m. the preced ing Saturday. Inland empire points at 9 cents per bushel, which is a just average. This result should stimulate the people of Oregon to maintain the portage. It should bq nursed, helpej, strengthened, encouraged and made a profitable asset of the state for It will stand as a perpetual menace to railroad combinations In future, for even though the north bank road may be built, mutual agreements may be made by it and competing lines, by which rates would be raised ere It not for the river highway. hlch is the people's salvation and hope. If the world is awry and you not guess why. And if worry, you cannot al lay it; If you feel that your way runs somewhat astray. And the game is all wrong as you play It: If the care that you know for ever doth grow. Or. at least, you are seeing it double. Why, then. Is the hour, and may yours be the power To look In yourself for the trouble. For the world, as God made it, Is golden and fair. A place to be happy and Jolly; And most of our trouble and most of our care We make for ourselves In our folly. A. J. Waterhouse. THE PORTAGE DID IT. The Portland dispatches announc ing the reduction of 30 cents per ton on the wheat rate from the inland empire to Portland, say this reduction Is made to offset the cheaper ocean rate from Puget Sound cities and to Induce more growers to ship to Portland. This Is a plausible reason and will do for news purposes, but there Is a deeper and more vital reason for this freight reduction than this published reason. , I THE PRESENCE OF THE PORT AGE ROAD AND THE OPENING OF THE UPPER COLUMBIA RIVER TO TRAFFIC HAVE FORCED DOWN THE RATE ON WHEAT. -THIS IS THE HIDDEN REASON FOR THE REDUCTION OF THE RATE AND IS A DIRECT RESULT OF THE BUILDING OF THE PORT AGE. I Since the same ocean rates have been In effect for years, and since the conditions of shipping In and out of Portland and the Puget sound cities are now the same as they have been for years, why should the rate from the inland empire to Portland be reduced? Why has it not been re duced before? Why have the high rates been charged all these years, when the people had no means of re lief? it is significant that this reduction was not made until after the people' portage was built and in service. It Is significant that as long as there was no competition there was no re duction of rates. These are plal business issues which any one can see plainly and denote the Intrinsic value of the portage road to the people The reduction of 30 cents per ton It is estimated, will transport, free of charge, under the old rate, 1,000,000 bushels of wheat from the inland em plre to Portland. It will be an ap proximate saving In freight of 18200 on every 1,000,000 bushels shipped from the Inland empire to Portland, estimating the average rate from all SILKS SILKS New lot of Silks Just In.

Juries, witnesses, oatns are pur chasable things. And yet twentieth century development is all toward the uplifting of the dollar and the subor dination of the soul. These cruel remarks are largely Justified by the every day record of the age. A SILVER DOLLAR WILL COME NEARER CAUSING A TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE SOUL TODAY THAN EVER BEFORE IN THE HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. FAREWELL TO ARCADY. To the Commercial associations and Itlzens of Umatilla county: You are invited to Join with Pendleton and Pendleton Commercial association In promoting the Interests county. Hundreds of tourists are passing our doors every day. They are in search of homes, employment, land. They have money to Invest. They ill make good cltlxens In some part of Oregon. So why not Interest them In Uma tilla county? Every' city, town and illage In the county has something to offer. But the tourists have not card of It. They have heard of Portland, Spokane, Walla Walla; but of Athena, Weston, Milton, Helix or Pendleton scarcely ever at all. Let us get together and co-operate bringing some of this worthy immi gration to Umatilla county. It Is a false notion to say that we have noth ing to offer the man of moderate means. It Is a wrong idea to hold out that a man must have a fortune in order to become a citizen of Uma tilla county. We need the small farmer, the poul try raiser, the fruit grower, the dairy man, the gardener, the hog raiser. These industries can be established by men of small means and each of these Industries will pay. The large farms In the Irrigated district will be cut up Into small tracts with a family on each tract. This transformation will come ere we are aware, So let us co-operate to replenish the decreasing population of . Lmatllla county. Let us offset the outgo . of excellent citizens to Alberta, by the Introduction of some new blood from Missouri, Iowa, Illinois Kansas, Okla oma and other, overcrowded states. For the next 50 days a flood of tourists and homeseelters will flow With sombre mien, the Evening gray Conies nagging at the heels of Day, And driven faster and still faster Before the dusky-mantled Master, of Umatilla The light fades from her fearful eyes. She hastens, stumbles, falls, and dies. Beside me Amaryllis weeps; The swelling tears obscure the deeps Of her dark eyes, as, mistily. The rushing rain conceals the sea. Here, lay my tuneless reed away, I have no heart to tempt a lay, I scent the perfume of the rose Which by my crystal fountain grows. In this sad time, are roses blowing? And thou, my fountain, art thou flow ing, While I who watched thy waters spring Am all too sad to smile or sing? Nay, give me back my pipe again. It yet shall breathe this single strain: Farewell to Arcady! Paul Lawrence Dunbar. LONG, PAINFUL SOBER SPELL. Mark Twain told this story not long ago: "In the village which is a sub urb of New Bedford, a friend of mine took me to the dedication of a to'vn hall, and pointed out to me a hroned, weather-beaten old man over 90 years old. 'Do you see any passion in that old man?" said he to me. 'You don't; well, but I can make him a perfect volcano to you. I'll just mention to him something very casually.' And he did. Well, that old man suddenly gave vent to an outburst of profdi iy, such as I never heard In my life be fore. I listened tohlm with that de light with which one listens to an ar tist. The cause of It was this: When that old man was a young sailor, he came back from a three-year cruise arrd found the whole town had taken the pledge. He hadnX so he was os tracized. "Finally, he made up his mind he couldn't Btand ostracism any loi.ger. and1 he went to the secret-try... and satd: 'Put my name down 'for- that temperance society of your'.' "Next day he left .on another three-year Foods Dainty Demand It IN EVERY Receipt that calls for cream of tartar, soda, or baking powder, use the Royal Baking Powder. Better results will be obtained because of the absolute purity and great leavening strength of the Royal. It will make the food lighter, sweeter, of finer flavor, more digestible and wholesome. It is always reliable and uni form in its work. Alum and phosphate baking powders some of them sold at the same price and some of them cheaper will make neither dainty nor wholesome food.

Argonau Tou have heard It cruelly remarked every day since the large reward was offered for the conviction of the mur derer of Frank Steunenberg of Idaho. that "$25,000 reward will convict anybody these days." That Is an awful thought, when you stop to consider It. Will money thwart the decrees of justice today, any more readily than 10 or 100 years ago? Are we slipping away from the old standard of manhood, of honesty, of righteousness? Are courts and Indi viduals any more corrupt today than formerly? Can It be truthfully said that reward.

In Santa Rom, was cnt down In order to make room for the others to grow The tree was one of Mr. BurbanK s own creations a nyDria, ujiu a markahle grower and producer of wood as well as nuts. The Examiner tinned that this walnut wood would be Invaluable to replnce ma hogany, and this has been demon strated. Some of the pieces of wood from the tree have been polished and take on a mahogany hue and of al most perfect color. Mr. Burbank has been asked by a local firm to allow them to cut up - .

The fact Is, our public won't buy any rice unless the grains shine and glisten. Consequently the first thing the miller does Is to put his rice through a course of polishing, by which the covering of the kernel Is rubbed off, and at the same time the most nutritive part. The result Is, that he gets a beautiful, almost sparkling, grain, which sells well, but Inasmuch as the covering has been removed, the grains, when cooked, lose their Identity, and become mush "Polished rice" Is a peculiarity of America. The public can procure th unpolished rice If they will Insist on the grocer getting It for them, for "polishing" Is an extra process which the miller will he glad to abandon. Country Life In America.
