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.

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

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

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.
