A groan of Earth in labor pain. Her ancient agony and strain; A tremor on the granite floors A heave of seas, a wrench of shores. A crash of walls, a moan of lips. A terror on the towers and ships; Blind streets where men and ghosts go by; Whirled smoke mushrooming on the sky; Hoofs, turrets, domes with one acclaim Turned softly to a bloom of flame Oone with their dreams of joy and power In this dread splendor of an hour: Edwin Markham. FOR IMATILLA COVXTY. The Umatilla County Development league is doing for Umatilla county what the Oregon Development league Is doing for Oregon. It is Introducing the county to the wirl 1. Umatilla county needs advertising. This it is getting, free of charge, from the Development league. The county needs settlers. These it will get from the Intelligent advertising of the league. If a dozen families are induced to come here through the Influence of the Uevelopment league, this will re pay the promoters of the league for all their pains. One man has b-en induced to come to the county 3 buy horses for the Oklahoma market. He vni Introduce Umatilla county to Oklahoma. If through him half a dozen thrifty set tler are induced to come here, this or.e result will justify Us existence. The East Or' gonlan urges upon the counuy papers of Umatilla county, the value of the league and Its work for the county. It invites the editors to attend the meeting.- and take part.! It is all for the county at large. What benefit.- Weston and Athena and Echo; and Helix will benefit Pendleton and! i-o th ate. The lr-.imii Peopl tntire county s'loUM co-oper- little booklets sent oot by the have already borne good fruits, are now receiving letters of Inquiry concerning the county. This show.- that the leaven of advertising is w oi king. The next meeting of the league on May 1J should be well attended. It Is all for the good of Umatilla county. Whate ver the league does will be for the whole county and not for any par ticular town or district. THE TRUTH ABOUT ItOl'lIXK, In the communication published In the Eu-t Oregoiilan today, J. A. Ma son of Portland, nays that the self-re-speetirig candidates for the legisla ture in Multnomah county will Ignore the candidacy of Jonathan Bourne If he is elected as the choice of the peo ple for the United .States senate. This shows something of the esteem In which Mr. Bourne Is held In the! city of his home. If his candidacy is enough to cause honest members of his own party to ; Ignore the choice of the people, is there not something wrong with the ! man? If the prospect of having Mr, Bourne In the senate will cause mem bers of his own party to overthrow the will of the people rather than bear the responsibility of sending him to the senate Is It not time for the people to awaken to the gravity of the situation? Mr. Bourne has made plausible statements In his letters to voters anil has won over many people who are not familiar with his history In Ore gon politics. Put people who know him ami his methods are not for him. swEi.i. the school rt n. Oregon's public school fund is sad ly deficient, because of the waste of her public lands In' the past. The school lands of the state have been given away, speculators have become enriched by Investing In them and the school children of the state are today in need of the money which the state has given to speculators. It is too late to grieve over the land that has been sold. Hut It is not too late to husband the remaining land and make It as much of un asset as possible for the -chool children. It is not too late to tax inheritances for the benefit of the Irreducible school fund, either. The next legis lature should pass a law taxing in heritances for this purposes. Great estates which are multiplying and be coming more and more free from tax ation by various hooks and crooks, should contribute more to the support of public schools than they do at present. The general Income of the state has been largely Increased by the corpora tion tax law, and the insurance tax law and the irreducible school fund should be swelled by the passage of an inheritance tax law. The income from this source would be small at first, but as the law Is applied closely to its purposes and the great fortunes of the state are made to bear their just proportion uf public expenses the puhilc schools may be Improved and extended. Washington guarded her state school land and today has an immense fund on hand. Idaho sells her state lands at many times the price fixed In Oregon. Oregon school children are placed at a disadvantage in compari son with cither Idaho or Washington. This Is one of the most important issues before the state and candidates for the legislature should make their positions known on the subject before election. The people who are taxed to support the public schools are vi tally Interested In the subject. FOR BETTER fJOVERXMEXT. E. Hofer, editor of the Salem Jour nal, and defeated candidate for the legislature In Marion county, wrote the following editorial on the day of the primary election, Friday, April 2), on the day on which he was de feated for the legislature. It is an optimistic review of the political situ ation in Oregon and shows the gen eral sentiment of thinking men on the introduction of the direct primary law and the destruction of bosslsm in the state. The Journal says: In Oregon today is being struck a blow for the advancement of popular government, second only to the Dec laration of Independence. The light of political freedom is dawning on the Pacific coa.st. It Is breaking on the souls of men here In Oregon. Politi cal emancipation begins today. The old log-rolling conventions, the packed primary, the stuffed ballots of the ballot-stuffing boss, counted by the tool of the boss are things of the past. The light of greater political free dom is breaking out of the Egyptian darkness of Oregon politics. The era of graft will give place to an era of better business administration. The first direct primary under the Austra lian ballot system will result In a great triumph for the people, and the ultimate downfall of the trusts and syndicates that are robbing the masses. The primary election Is only the be ginning. The people will find that there is a power In their hands to get better results by freedom from ring rule and machine dictation, and they will use it. The June election will see a continuation of the weedlng-out pro cess, and the result of the two elec tions will be the clennest set of coun ty and state and national officials that has ever been elected. So long live the day and Its memo ries when the shackles of slavery to bosslsm were broken In Oregon. This A LUCKY FISHERMAN, Is the one wio has the best fishing tackle.

WARNED BY WIRELESS. The wireless telegraph as n seismo graph, was forcefully demonstrated at the station at Galveston during the past three days, and Operator E. M. Thurston hnd a thrilling experience with the air currents recording the vibrations In the tuning wires la hours In advance of the first ipi ike of the earth at San Francisco, says a telegraphic dispatch. Tuesday night the sputtering and sparks of electricity in the station aroused the operator, who. believing some ship at sea or land station of the wireless system was calling the Galveston sta tion, answered the summons. He signaled through the air cur retvts repeatedly, but failed to get an Intelligent response. The sputtering and sparks continued at intervals, and the wires acted like they were pos sessed. He examined the station and every piece of mechanism, but. falling to solve the mystery, remained on dutv throughout the night. He sig naled Denver and East St. Louis, 800 miles away, but they had not called, and shortly after midnight the Instru ments became so charged that Thurs ton had to abandon using the keys. Wednesday morning he heard of the earthquake, and knew the upheaval had affected the air currents and charged the wireless station. With this knowledge he remained on duty and recorded the subsequent quakes on the California coast even to the last re ported tremble felt ait Los Angeles Thursday. By comparing the records at the stntlon with the reports of the several quakes. It showed that the sen sitive instruments anticipated the quakes hy several hours' Scientists are now studying the discovery with a view to putting it to practical use. The experience of Operator Thurs ton Tuesday night was one of terror with the mysteries of nature, and he was well nigh a nervous wreck before he discovered the cause of the Instru ment's wild actions on that fateful night. A report In detail Is now be ing prepared for the benefit of sci ence. COMING EVENTS. May 1, 2 and 3. Twenty-first an nual Sunday school convention of Oregon at Portland.

Consul riunsaulus gives the Irish agricultural statistics for 1905, writ ing from Cork: Compared with 1 904. Ireland showed a decrease of HO'io acres In cereal crops, oats decreased 11.986 acres, barley 34.14 acres, while wheat increased 703.1 acres. The po tato area deereased lTSfi acres. Last year there were 30:1,017 acres planted to the Champion variety, which was f.s.9 per cent of the entire acreage, ldit the Champion Is getting poorly regarded on uccount of liability to disease and decay. Cabbage Is a great Irish crop, the area Increasing to 3030 acres, while turnips decreased 3726 acres. l'lax Increased 1S65 acres, showing 46,1. IS acres. The statistics relating to hay and grass areas Indicate the Increasing rate at which the land of Ireland Is going out of cultivation and Into meadows and permanent pasture, the area for 190! being 11,645,389 ncres. This was an Increase over 1904 of 77,754 acres. Bee keeping docs not now seem to be popular, the yield for 1905 having been 308,866 pounds, versus 145.692 pounds In 1899. THE MIKXHOS SELF-DENIAL. In the bitter cold of last winter 1904-1905 the mikado not content with the fullest official reports, sent his grand mnstcr to look Into the conditions at the front to ascertain by visiting every camp and outpost, how the soldiers were faring. When Count HIJIknta returned with his har rowing tale of frightful suffering caus ed bv the cold the emperor was broken-hearted. Nothing more could he don the Manchurinn winter must drag Its Icy season through but the emperor would not take his case while his men were freezing, and the order to discontinue all heating of the pal ace till the war should be over show ed that his sympathy was with them day by day. World's Work, INCREASED FARM VALUES.

Tn other words, the fnrmer has add ed the stupendous sum of 6. 133.000.. 000 to his capital In the last five years. Does this bear out the asser tion that he Is a business drone? Where Is the Industry that can show a like accumulation of wealth In the same period of time? The fact Is Ihat his achievements In producing and accumulating wealth nre unparalleled by any people of any nation on earth engaged In any of the occupations of man. Congressman Lever. Good WasiN In Canadian Mines. This month of March was probably the best ever experienced in Phoenix or the Boundary, B. C. the amount earned by the men employed directly by the mines and three smelting works of the district for the month of March being approximately $120. 000. This Is an average of about $100 per month per man. Including Sun days, there being 1200 men employed In the mines and smelters. While la borers In mines receive $3 a day, nil miners receive at least $3.50 and car penters, engineers, blacksmiths and machinists receive $4. Mining World.

But it does not pay to sell MEN'XliN'S POWDIiK nearly as well, as it pays to sell an imperfect and impure substitute which, costing about half the cost of MEN NEJM'rf, yields the dealer double profit. The ' just a good " with which some dealers try to palm oil a substitute is true any way. If it's only "just us good " for the dealer why puli the sale. If it's only "just as good " for the buver whv risk an unknown preparation for MENN'EN'S. There's nothing just as good as MFN NEN'S DORATED POWDER, and the dealer who says there is, risks his customer's skin and safety to make an extra profit on a sale.
