These are the things I prUe
And hold of dearest worth;
Light of the sapphire skies,
Peace of the silent hills.
Shelter of forests, comfort of the
4
grass.
And of the good, brown earth
And best of all, along the way,
friendship and mirth.
So let me keep
These treasures of the humble
heart
In true possession, owning
them by love.
And when at last I can no
longer move
Among them freely, . . .
Let me not creep
Into some darkened room and
hide
From all that makes the world
so bright and dear,
but throw the windows wide
To welcome in the light.
And breathe my body back to
Nature's care.
My spirit out to thee. God of the
open air.

THE WONDER OF THE WEST.
!
The wonder of the west, which first
attracts the homeseeker from the
crow ded middle states Is the Immensl-
ty of western farms. j
They can scarcely believe that one
man can handle from 1000 to 4000
acres of land, as Is the case in Uma- ;
tilla and other eastern Oregon coun-!
ties, and In many counties in eastern
Washington. ;
They come from a land of 40. 60.
SO and 100-acre farms. In the mid-'
die states the land king of the coun-:
ty may possibly have 300 acres in one
body, but that Is an enormous hold-
l., Yni in rare case. !
In Umatilla county tne ordinary
farm consists of a section. More
than half of the farms In the wheat
belt consist of over a section, and a
large part of them consist of over
1000 acres. '
In the north part of the county one '
man is -farming- 3500 acres. For
three miles voj mav drive over his
plow ed land all of it goo I land, and
see not a house nnywnere. ne Keeps
a tent stretched in a sheltered can
yono protect his ranch hands from
the sfrms. and for 10 months In the
year this creat b'ly of rirh wheat
land which should be supporting a
family n every' half section, ut least.
Is desolate as the desert. There are
no improvements, no school houses,
no potofflcex. no gooi roads, no good
farm h';u-s to enliven the view
nothing but the vast fields of wheat
o-rn-'d r v one man who perhaps lives
In town and visits it once a year.
This age of big farms must pass
before Umatilla county will enjoy her
hest fruitl'in. Settlers must swarm In
,...,,., ,,, ,
the country liistrirts. before the coun-,
ty conies Into its best period.
The population of the county Is de
rreaMns Year bv vear as the small

land owners sell out to their neigh-
bors and go to Alberta. Texas and Are "ou "roud that yOU are ne f
other places offering Inducement, to 'the organization which na, elevated
. ! the "Jack" Matthews and cast down
settlers.
With proper farming methods the . the nob,e women of the ",a,c7
light land of Umatilla county will! When future enerattons look back
ornduee excellent crons. With rota- P"n reon lth ,hat 11 "hould

thing every year. With more live-1
stork, more diversity, more close ap-
plication to the side lines of farming, i
. . . I
sucn as poultry, nogs, dairying, iruit-
raising and other profitable lines,
Umatilla can be made an empire of
small farms, a network of good roads,
and a place of homes, schools and
country settlements of the highest
standard.
This Ideal should be encouraged by
the people of Umatilla county. In
stead of concentrating the land In a
few hands. It should be more widely
distributed. Homeseekers should be
Invited here by the opportunity of
fred for making a home. The coun
try needs more families; The county
Is losing Its best blood by the depopu
lation of the country districts. Va
cant farm houses, unused roads,
abandoned, school districts and post
offices should give place to a renewed
activity In the country districts.
The Umatilla County Development
league should begin a campaign to
re-populate and redistribute the Im
mense farms of the county by urging
the owners to sell to newcomers, and
thus build up. instead of depleting
the population of the county.
OREGON'S PIONEER BISHOP.
Ripe with years and rich in accom
plishments. Bishop B. Wistar Morris,
who for the past 38 years has been
bishop of the Episcopal church of this
jsiuie, im guile lu ills irnniUi
Like a ripened sheaf, laden with its
j golden grain and ready for the har
i vest, this noble man has answered the
call of his Maker. There is nothing
sad in such a death, except the leave-
taking. The weary worker has earn-
ed his rest. The machinery of right
eousness and good morals which he
started In the western wilderness, Is
moving in honor to his name and la
bors. The lessons he taught go on
reverberating through the present
generation's better sentiments, and
the great foundations of church life
which he laid deep and strong, are
now grown into temples of exquisite
beauty and sublimity.
Compare the Oregon of years
ago, which greeted this young minis
ter Just entering his life work, with
the completed fabric which he leaves
after half a life time of service, and
it will be easier to Judge the value of
such a life, to the state ns well as to
the church.
Then there was no railroad, no tel
egraph, no telephone. In the eastern
Oregon counties. Settlements were
few and far between, the country was
filled with adventurers, wildly driven
by the lust of gold.
Churches and religion were con
fined to the Willamette valley and
all the great states of Oregon and
Washington, outside of the few coast
colonies, were, practically wilder-
nesses.
Bishop Morris undertook the task
of Christianizing this great wild ter
ritory. and for 58 years his labors to
this end have been unceasing. Church
after church sprang up at his com
mand, as his Indefatigable labors pro
vlded the means. Town after town
was made to feel the touch of his elo
quence and the keen Incentive of his
enthusiasm, and with his word as
magls talisman, the two northwest
states have been dotted with church
organlratlons, schools, hospitals and
other noble institutions which will
stand as living monuments to the
memory of this good and powerful
man
PLACE THE RESPONSIBILITY.
Really, Is It not a travesty on Jus
tice to have It said of Oregon that
such men aa "Jack" Matthews and
Frank C. Baker, as managers of cam
pains, should be permitted to defeat
the equal suffrage movement
If the party of which these men
have been campaign managers were
not afraid of the decent votes which
would come from the ranks of the
noble women of the state, why has It
always fought equal suffrage?
Compare the splendid. Intelligent
womanhood of Oregon to either of
these campaign managers. Compare
the votes which would come from the
ranks of the women, with the votes
controlled In Portland by the man-
hve kept women In the category
! with Idiots ana criminals, mere snouio
be no doubt as to who was responsl-
1 ble for that condition.
Dr N Essig has applied for
a' franchise for a water and electric
light franchise at Pasco, Wash.

SILENCE. .
There are some qualities some incor
porate things.
That have a double life which thus
is made
A type of that twin eternity which
springs
From matter and light, evinced In
solid and shade.
There is a two-fold silence sea and
shore
Body and soul. p One dwells in lone
ly places,
Newly with grass o'ergrown; some
solemn graces,
Some human memories and tearful
lore,
Render him terrorless: his name's
"No More."
He is the corporate ' silence; dread
him not!
No power hath he of evil In him
self;
But should some urgent fate (untime
ly lot!)
Bring thee to meet his shadow
(nameless elf
That liaunteth the lone regions where
hath trod
No foot of man), commend thyself to
God! ,
Edgar Allen Poe.

MORNING IX LONDON.
The Thames nocturne of blue and
gold
Changed to a harmony In gray;
A barge with ochre-colored hay
Dropt from the wharf; and chill and
cold
The yellow fog came creeping down
The bridges, till the houses' walls
Seemed changed to shadows, and St.
Paul's
Loomed like a bubble o'er the town.
Then suddenly arose the clang
Of waking life; the streets were
stirred
With country wagons, and a bird
Flew to the glistening roofs and sang.
But one pale woman ail alone.
The daylight kissing her wan hair.
Loitered beneath the gas lamp's
flare.
With lips of flame and heart of stone.

TELLER. DEFENDS WOMEN.
There Is no truth In the report that
equal suffrage has worked much mis
chief In Colorado and that it has "de
graded the women and lowered the
standard of public morals." On the
contrary, it has been entirely satisfac
tory' to all of those who desire to Im
prove the present condition In Amer
ican politics. Doubtless there - 'are
some women who have not a high
sense of responsibility In exercising
the right of franchise, but I believe
that a far larger percentage of wo
men than cf men are actuated by
high motives In this and other duties,
and that time will prove the wisdom
of granting women an equal right
with men at the polls. Senator Tel
ler. THE HEAD SEA.
The lowest bed of water in the
world Is the Dead Sea, ft being 1292
feet below the level of the Mediter
ranean. In places It is 1300 feet deep.
It Is 46 miles long and from five to
nine miles wide. On its shore and
known as "Ridge of Sodom" Is a re
markable hill of rock salt seven miles
long and ?00 feet high. Its waters
arc most dense. Its specific gravity
ranges from 112 to 1227 while pure
water Is 1000, Its waters contain 2S
per cent of saline matter, while that
of the ocean 3.5 per cent. Rain hard
ly ever falls, and like the Great Salt
Lake of Utah, Its dimensions are con
stantly growing smaller. Mining

LET WOMEN VOTE.
We have been frequently asked to
express our opinion as to woman suf
frage, and while It may have little
weight, we give it herewith, gratis:
Let the women vote If they want to.
Not one sound argument can be urg
ed against equal suffrage. As usual,
the female antl-suffraglsts haven't a
1 a limb to stand on. If a woman Is
so buy with flirtations or other in
nocent amusements that she hasn't
time to cast a ballot, all right. No
damage done. Those who want to
vole, however, should not be denied
the privilege. Prinevllle Review.

TENACITY OF LIFE.
The most remarkable Instance of
the tenacity of life under desperate
conditions Is that of the survival for:
many days of a number of the en
tombed miners at Courrleres, France.
The disaster which wrecked the
coal mine occurred on March 10. On
March 30 13 men, looking hardly hu
man, worked their way out of tho
mine, having been entombed all the
Intervening time In foul air and dense
darkness, subsisting on the flesh of
a horse. Their appearance was like
that cf the dead arising from a tomb
that had long been closed and sealed.
Astonishment gave place to Joy and
Joy to anger at the engineers who had
charge of the work of rescue, in that
these WTetched, reeling, living skele
tons were not rescued earlier. '
And now comes another and even
greater surprise In the form of an
other man being found and brought
alive to the light and air after living
Catspaw
Customers.
The story of the monkey who
used the cat's paw to pull the
chestnuts outof the fire, finds new
illustrations daily. When a dealer
sells a customer a sustitute for
MENNEN'S BORATED TALCUM,
be does so because the substitute pays
bim a bigger profit. He makes the
customer his catspaw to rake in a few
extra dollars.
It is not pleasant to be made a catspaw,
especially when you pay for the oppor
tunity of being injured. Is itnot foolish
to pay for the opportunity to use injuri
ous imitations of MENNEN'S BOR
ATED TALCUM, the standard powder
of the world ? Think it over.
