1-TTl 1SK TRADE IN OREGON ri'KIOS.
Think of .the value of Oregon jails as curios and relics In the dim,
distant future, when unborn generations come to carry away pieces Df
wood and iron from the place where ringer Herman. J. N. Williamson, H.
P. Mays. Henry Meldruni and other prominent Oregonlans looked through
the bars back in 1S06. for complicity in the vast land fraud operations In
Oregon.
This is an entirely new and Intensely interesting feature of the land
fraud cases and will develop Into a profitable Industry In relics, if the old
buildings in which the. trials have been conducted and In which the guilty
ones serve sentences, .are preserved.
In London the tourist is shown where Guy Fawkes concocted the "gun
powder plots" against the government and in Paris Where the revolution
ists marched to the guillotine with defiant air.
What an intensely interesting historical feature might , be added to Ore
gon, if the "homestead'' cabins on the famous "7-11" district In southern
Oregonare reserved or if ;he footprints of Ringer Herman made in Port
lend mud as he marched up to trial, are preserved for the curio hunters
of the twenty-second century!
WlUTi: SLAVERY" IX THE SOI Til.
The awful bujahoo of "white slavery" in the south has been disarmed
of its most ter.xious aspect by the discovery of the fact that the corpora
tions holding "whit" slaves" are northern capitalists who have engaged in
lumbering In Florida and Alabama. .. .
It makes a lot of difference to the Associated Press, you know, who Is
engaged in an illegitimate traffic.
Since it has been discovered that it was not southern slave drivers win
were Inflicting such awful conditions upon society, little has been said
about it.
In the north this practice is one phase of industrialism. Xo such word
as "slavery" Is applied to the "highly enlightened" form of servitude found
in the cotton mills, sweat shops, iron mills, coal mines and other large In
dustries of the northern states.
There are more children working for a mere pittance in the mills and
factories of the north than there are white laborers in the entire south,
nd yet "while shivery" in the notth is never mentioned.

And the hot air In between.

Lies panting the helpless steed.

Portland Is now the largest city
on th Pacific coast in aiea. Since
the election, .lune tl, It contains Just
4-1 square miles of territory, of which
Id. S so.uare miles are on the west
side and 32. 1! square miles on the east
side. The next largest city in area on
the coast Is San Francisco, which
covers approximately 40 square miles
of territory.
Prior to the June election the area
within the e'ty limits on thf west side
f the river was 0600 acres. At the
election, Council Crest, containing 320
cres, was annexed, making a total of
0 acres. Before the election there
were 17.230 acres of land on the east
ide within the city limits, but 2586
acres were added by the annexation
t Mt. Tabor and Montavllle, making
total of 19.822 acres. The total land
area of the city Is 26.74 2 acres. The
rea of territory outside the hnrbor
lines covered by water is 1394 acres,
making the total area of the city 28,-
36 acres. This, reduced, is equal to
4 square miles of territory. Cham

HOW Til E APOSTLES MET DE TH.
THE RAILROAD SITTATION.
It has never been computed exactly, just how much It costs the people
of the United States each year to maintain the different national and state
commissions to regulate railroad rates and cause the railroads to serve the
people to the fullest extent at all times and under all circumstances.
Notable examples of the urgent need of government ownership of the
railroads are seen in different states every day. Where two or more lines
penetrate certain territory, they often refuse to make an Interchange of
freight, hut Insist on hauling the longest way all traffic which originates on
tht lines of each system.
This makes rates high, disarms competition and places the people under
the monopoly of single systems. If the government owned the railroads,
rates would be the same over entire sections of country. Products would
be sent to market by the shortest route, regardless of "systems" and the
people would be served at the lowest possible cost at all times.
Railroadr. like Individual:!, invest money to get returns and they use
every possible legitimate means to make Incomes large. The government
must maintain commissions and bureaus for the especial purpose of fixing
rates, regulating traffic and ordering Impartial service, and yet the gov
ernment draws but small remuneration from the railroads In taxes.
Why not nationalize the railroads and let the government operate them
In the same level to every man and every part of the country?
It would require only a slight Increase in the number of commissions
to take entire control of the railroad systems of the country.
That would foVever end the rate difficulties and would insure every re
mote section of the country a railroad.
It would be the object of the government to give people railroad facilities
just a they are given postoffice facilities, without regard to subsidies, grants.

portation facilities.
SERMONS JN IRRIGATION IHTOIES.
ffhakespeure has Immortalized the fact that there are "sermons In stones,
but it is not recorded yet that any author has placed in the galaxy -of the
classics the homely discourse that may be found In the Irrigation ditch.
Umatilla county presents the world with an entirely new economic spec
tacle, a new departure In industrial science. ,
This new departure is winter irrigation the use of Idle water which
usually runs to waste during the winter season.
It Is natural for land to be irrigated in the growing season; It required
ro bttet'h of imagination, no particula- genius to conceive the scheme of
direct Irrigation of growing crops, but the man who first conceived the plan
cf filling up the soil in the winter season when water is plentiful and crops
are not growing, was a true genius, a discoverer of genuine merit.
Ly v. inter imvation the greatest possible utility Is secured from the
world's .-upply of water. A portion of the landowners may use the stream
during the growing season and then the winter season may be set aside for
another por'ion. thus harnessing the streams for the entire year.
This p'an conceives on-? of the most picturesque industrial conditions im
aginable The stream-' are never idle under It. In Bummer they are used
in muis'.tnii.g the planted soil, and In the winter they ure turned Into the
thirsty wind.- filling tne earth as though It were a storage reservoir, to be
crawii upon w h.-n the hot days corns to parch the surface.
By this system double the area of soil can be reclaimed by the same
stream. Wh'-ie funi'ily vast volumes of water ran to waste during the
winter season, now this water is utilized to the fullest extent. It flows out
into the sandy stretches carrying with It rich silt and soil to enrich the
Though the manner in which the
Apostles met deith has been the sub
ject of considerable controversy.
chinch traditions give the following
accounts of their fate:
St. Mattliow i supposed to have siif
fered martyrdom, or was slain with :
sword at the city of Ethiopia, In
Kgypt.
St. Luke was hanged upon an ollv
tree in Oretce.
St. John was put Into a cauldron of
boiling oil at Koine and escaped death,
He afterward died a natural death at
Kphcsus. 'n Asia.
St. James the Greater was behead
ed at Jerusalem.
St. James the Less was thrown from
a pinnacle or wing of the temple, and
then beaten to death with a fuller's
club.
St. Philip was hanged up against a
pillar it Hieropolls. a city of Phrygia.
St. Bartholomew was rayed aliv
by the command of a barbarous king.
St. Andrew was bound to a cross,
whence he preached unto the people
unt'l he expired.
St. Thomas was run through the
body with a lance at Coronumdel, In
the East Indies.
St. Jude was shot to death with
arrow.
St. Simon Zealot was crucified In
Persia.
St. Matthias was first stoned an-1
(hen beheaded.
St. Barnabas was stoned to death
by the Jews at Salania.
St. Paul was beheaded at Rome by
the tyrant Nero.
Catholic authorities state that th:
bodies of the Apostles are now in the
following named places: Ten are in
Italy namely, Peter, Philip, James
the Less, Jude, Bartholomew, Mat
thlas and Simon being In Rome, and
Matthew at Salerno, Andrew at Amal
fl, and Thomas at Ortanto.
One In Spain James the Greater
whose remains are at St. Jngo dei'om
postella.
Of the body of St. John the Evan
gelist, the remaining one of tho 12,
there Is no knowledge.
The evangelists Mark and Luke are
also In Italy the former at Venice
and the latter at Padua.
St. Paul's body Is also believed to
be In Italy. Peter's Is. of course, in
the church at Rome, which Is called
after him, as are also those of Simon
and Jude. Those of James the Less
and Philip are In the Church of th
Holy Apostles; Bartholomew's in the
church on the island In the Tiber call
ed after him; Matthias' Is In Santa
Maria Magglore, under the great ultar
of the renowned Basilica.

SACK OF I'LOl It, $200,000.
There is no question about flour be
ing a vltul necessity to man, but $200,
000 for one sack does seem a bit high.
That I what a sack once brought,
however, and no one had been mnnlp
ulatlng the wheat market either.
It is an Interesting tale of an elec
tion bet and Its payment, out on th
Pacific slope.
R. C Gridley, of Austin, N'ev., Ill
Apill, 1864, made a bet with a friend
on a local election, the loser to can
a bag of flour on his shoulder for
certain distance.
Gridley lost, and on the 20th of th
month paid the bet by carrying this
flour sack, ornamented with ribbons
am! flags, while a band played "Joh
Brown's Body," as he wns a demo
crat.
There was a great throng present,
and when the end of the Journey was
reached Cirldley proposed that the
flour he turned to account for th
sanitary commission.
Somebody present suggested that it
be made Into cakes and sold, but
Gridley declared that the whole bag
should be put up at auction with th
understanding that the purchaser re
turn it to be sold again.
Grld'ey himself was the first pur
chaser, at $300, and after that It was
sold again and again to those present,
From this beginning there came
kind of rage for buying that rack o
flour, and Gridley went about from
one town to another selling it, until

About the queerest product of this
ctlon now being marketed Is moss,
It is baled the same as hay, and to
see a load of It coming down tho
street, somewhat lagged as to bales
and a bright green. It makes a stran
ger wonder what he is up against, and
if he is not growing color blind. It
might be well to add. the moss does
not come off the backs of the old Or

That the roots of many native plants,
growing wild in our American forests,
possess remarkable properties for the euro
of human maladies Is well proven. Even
the untutored Indian had learned the
eurative value of some of these and
taught the early settlers tbelr uses. The
Indian never liked work so he wanted his
quaw to get well m soon as possible that
slio might do the work and let him bunt.
Therefore, he dug "papoose root " for her,
for that was their great remedy for fe
male weaknesses. Dr. Iterco uses the
same root called Blue Cohosh in his
"Favorite Prescription," skillfully com
bined with other agents that make 't
more effective limn any other medicine In
curing all the various weaknesses and
painful derangements iieculiur to women.
Many alllicted women have Is-cn saved
from the operating table and the sur
geon's knife by the timely nso of Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Tender
ness over the lower pelvic region, with
backache. spells of dizziness, faintiiess,
bearing dow n pains or distress should not
go unheeded. A course of "Favoriui Pre
scription" will wor,k marvelous lienelit
In all such cases, und generally effect a
permanent cure (( persisted In for a rea
sonable length of time. The "Favorite
Prescription" is a harmless agent, being
wholly prepared from native medicinal
roots, without a drop of alcohol in its
make up, whereas all other medicines,
put up for sain through druggists for
woman's peculiar ailments, contain largo
quantities of spirituous liquors, which
ore very harmful, especially to delicate
women. "Favorite Prescription" con
tains neither alcohol nor harmful haliit
iorming drugs. All its Ingredients are
printed on each Isitt lo wrapper. It Is a
fiowerful Invigorating tonic, Imparting
leulth and strength in particular to the
organs distinctly feminine. For weak
and sickly women, who are "worn-out,"
cr debilitated, especially for women who
work in store, ollieo, or school-room, who
sit at tho typewriter or sewing machine,
or bear heavy household burdens, and for
nursing mothers, Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription will prove a priceless benelit
because of its health - restoring and
strength-giving power.
