TIUBVTE TO VMATlI.l.A. To those who observe closely, the coming of the government force from the Kiamath to the Umatilla Irrigation project to work during the winter ser.son. is highly significant. What higher tribute can be paid to the climate of Umatilla county than to h.ne the government transfer Its working force to this county for win ter work? Let those who are studWng the map of Oregon in search of a home, re member this incident. Let them re member that In Umatilla county all kinds of work progresses during th3 entile year, except upon rare occa sions. It may be truthfully said that plowing cjn be done In Umatilla county every month In the year. Ditch building, carpenter work, outdoor work of almost all kinds, proceeds through the winter months without serious interruption. Climate is the basis of a contented and prosperous home. Let the home seeker remember the migration of the government forces from Klam ath in southern Oregon, to Umatilla county, for winter work. That tells a story more completely than words can convey It. WITH FACE FORWARD. When the tomb opened yesterday to receive the body of Mrs. Jefferson Davis, "the mother of the southern Confederacy," the last lingering sym bol of the confederacy passed from human sight. Hereafter it will be but a memory. With face to the future, with heart st'rrlng with the more serious prob lems rf today, the people of the re united nation should forget as quick ly as possible that there ever was a severing of the old bonds, forget that there ever was a Shlloh, a Gettysburg, an Appomattox. Forget that there ever was an Alton or an Anderson Vile, and look forward to the future which beckons. While the people followed Abraham Lincoln or Jefferson Davis, as their Idols, aic! waned for those Idols to the death, a more subtle foe than slavery, a more conscienceless and bloodthirsty enemy than war, crept Into the secret council chamber of the nations and fixed Its talons upon the vitals ol the people. The money power, of which Abra ham Lincoln sounded warning time and time again, took advantage of the people's prtludlce to seize the reins of government and convert government to Its own uses. This power Is now Interenched In congress, in the cabinet. In the de partments, and to dislodge It and re turn the government to the common people, Is the serious and stupendous problem which con fronts the people today. The past has nothing In Its mem- orleK or Its prejudices which may be I iiUU'i' Into service in today's hat tics. Wo must meet the Issues of today on today's battleground. With fue forward the present gen eration mui.t struggle t five Itself of thi' octopus of monopoly which was conceived In prejudice and nour ished ! pMllrunlsm until It now de- fies tiic united nation. The fl;im past is closed, its M'Kiinls out! The present 1 Tl.TON M VMATlI.l.A. In a long Interview in the Portland OicLoulan. Senator I'Ullon opposes the constiuction of the Cold Springs government Irrigation dam in Umatil la county by the government. Ho savs the dam should be built by contractors. The government very much desires to nuve the dam built by contractors but owing to the excessively high bids received for the work. Secretary Hitchcock and Chief Rnglnerr Newell decided that rather than pay an exor- bitar.t price, the government would do the work, direct. Senator Fulton says the government lacks ginger, is short on snap and ac tivity and that on contracts of thlj kind, the government force moves too slowly. The people of Umatilla and of east ern Oregon want that dam built this winter. Oiegon's money has gone In to the reclamation fund by the hund reds of thousands of dollars and the state should have been enjoying" the fruits of that fund long ago. The people of this county do not want to sec the government pay an j excessive price for the work and they 1 are ghid to see the government begin j the work I,' It means money saved to ! the perple. The government can do work Jus: ; as quickly, just as efficiently and more j cheaply than a contractor, and results j are what the people demand, i It seems that Senator Fulton is In , the wrong in this matter. He would . not have the government grafted by nign prices, would ne : And he cer tainly wishes to see this project com pleted so Oregon may enjoy the fruits of her contribution to the reclamation fund. The people suspect that Senator Fulton opposes the action of Secretary Hitchcock in deciding to build the Umatilla dam, simp! because it is be ing done by Secretary Hitchcock. The senator and the secretary have not embraced each other, politically, for some months. However, Senator Fulton cannot af ford to allow his dislike of Secretary Hitchcock to retard reclamation work in Oregon. The people want the dam built, quic'tly as possible. Homoseokers ate waiting for the land. Let Hitch cock build it and build It quickly. GOOD BYE, STATE FARM. Notwithstanding the high efficiency of the state experimental farm at Union, It seems that the farm is doom ed to be abandoned and sold to pri vate purchasers. For the past 10 years or more that farm has been the pride of eastern Oregon. Situated in the richest spot lu eastern Oregon, on the black loam of Union, it- has produced a marvel ous variety of crops and while it was conducted on business principles by Prof. Leckenby, It was a model of neatness, system, productiveness and beauty. But since the appropriation to sus tain It was held up by the referendum, it has fallen away piecemeal. The, livestock has been sold. The crops have been curtailed. The experiments have been practically abandoned. A meeting of the board of regents will be held In Union In a few days to dispose of it, finally. It Is now a standing Joke In Grand Ronde valley, as to whether Walter Pierce, of Hot Lake, or Tom Wright, of Union, will get the biggest slice of It when It Is sold. George Ade was the guest of honor at a dinner given by a woman's club. In the course of his after-dinner speech, Mr. Ade said: "And then there Is another kind of man who Is a raging, roaring Hon at home and abroad so meek and mild that you feel sorry for film. I was lunching one day !n a crowded restaurant. A man and his little son eat at a table near me. They sat there nearly an hour and stl'l their order was not taken, The boy twisted and squirmed. The little fellow looked up In a surprised way and I heard him say: 'Say, fath er, how is It you don't kick up a great big fus, the same as you do at home?'" The Woman Who Writes to her friends will create a fine Im pression lrrepeetlve of her diction If she uses ''swell" stationery. Stop to think, please, that "good form" pa per costs but Ittle more here than the very ordinary kind. Why not buy the best when we sell that so cheap? FRAZIER'S BOOK STORE International Phases of . the Salton Sea A Washington correspondent dis cusses the international phase's of the break 111 the Colorado river ami the formation of the Salton seu, as fol lows: Who Is responsible for the creation of 4ho SaHon sea In southern Oallfor nla, whkh already covers an area of 10O square miles, and threatens to spread over 2000 square miles. If some means of iliveitlng the Colorado river cannot be devised' This question Is perplexing Mexican and American diplomatists, but for tlis hue In Ins diplomatic representations have been sus) ende d, and boih the '"lilted States and Mexico nre bending every effort to check the liver, which ha been accidentally turned from Its coarse through the efforts of the Cal IfornUx Development company to lr riK.ite land In northern Mexico and southern California. Interesting complications of an in ternatlonal nature are threaten..! when the two governments attempt to settle their differences and make good the damage which has been brought hv diverting the Colorado from Its old channel. The California Development company originally tap ped the liver below Yuma, Ariz., and carried water from Arizona buck Into a great valley in southern California In 1904 It was found that this canal was I'uidcquate to supply the water required for the Irrigation project, and a "Mexican corporation controlled by the California Development compuny was authorized by Mexico to take water from the Colorado In Mexico, Th" irrigation canal was only one-, fourth of u mile from the river at the point in Mexico wher a ditch was cut through the sandy bank of the liver connecting with the great Irrigation canal. No fates were provided, and when the Colorado river w as dl vet ted from Its channel. It cut away Its bank and went rasing Into the lowlands In California far below sea level. Repeated attempts have been made to turn the liver back Into the old i hannel, but without success Again and again the Southern Pacific rail road has been compelled to move its tracks, which ran through th Salton sink, and have been forced onto the foothills surrounding the great basin, which Is oeing converted Into A sea. Several small towns are now beneath the waters which the Colorado lias poured into the basin, and In rnajiy places only the tups of the telegraph poles Indicate where the roadbed for merly was. In the lowest part of the sink the water 1h now "0 feet deep. Fcr a time the water from the Colora do raised the sea at the rate of six inches a day, and It has- been esti mated that, granting the failure of engineers to check the river In 40 year?, nil the basin located beneath the main course of the Colitado will be covered with water. A part of the basin Is in Mexico and a failure to control the river would give this ccuntry and Mexico a lake comparable to the great lakes separating the United States and Can ada. At present the lake is greater than any body of water wholly- with in the United States except Sal-; Lake and Lake Michigan. The Mexican company, to which permission was granted to take water out of the Col orado In Mexico was merely created In Mexico to assist the California De velopment company In making a suc cess of an Irrigation project, which was a partial fiullure when water was taken from the Colorado In Arizona. Most of the land to be Irrigated was lu the United States, and the Mexican government had comparatively little to gain from the concession granted to the Irrigation company. International complications have followed, growing out of the fact that the Colorado shall be maintained as a navigable stream, which Is not now the case because It has been com pletely diverted from the Gulf of Cal ifornia Into the great sink. Expert engineers are struggling to control the flow of waters, and the Southern Pa cific railroad, whose property Is suf fering greatly, is co-operating with the Mexican and American governmuet engineers In an effort to construct an other channel with flood gates, Into which the Colorado can be diverted long enough to repair the Salton break. The Mexican) government commis sion Is headed by Brigadier-General Angel Garcia Pena and the American government by the reclamation serv ice engineers. TYRANNY OF THE TARIFFS According to Senator La Foflette, the actual Investment of the United States Steel corporation is only 1400,- 000,000. As the capitalization of the trust Is 11,400,000,000, the steel trust magnates are forcing the people to pay dividends on $l,000,000,.p0 of wetered stock. The prices of steel and Iron and their products are made so high that the trust Is enabled to show net earnings on Its actual Investment and on 11,000,000,000 worth of stock that does not represent a penny of ac tual capital. Such capitalization should be pre. vented by law, but even without new enactments governing capitalization and preventing the Issuance of fictic ious stock, the people could protect themselves against the tyranny of the steel trust by removing the tariff on all steel and Iron and the products of these metals. Such a removal would not bring in a flood of Importations; It would merely make the steel trust lower Its prices to prevent such a re suit. The people would get the bene fit and Incidentally the dangerous con centiatlon of wealth and power would be lessened to a corresponding degree Kins'" City Star. Now York's School Army.

A'MV MUNOEM There can be no doubt about It that the tendency to resort to surgical opera tions has been too great In the past and that this harmful tendency Is growing less every day. Experience has demonstrated that many ailments which seemed to require surgical operations In the past are now wwuvMAMw being enred by the SURGICAL use of harmless retn 1 OPERATIONS edics. Peruna has AVOIDED. done as much as any tahlish this yery Important fact. Thousands of people have been con demned to undergo surgical operations. Their physicians have told them that tney mast elthc-f sulmiit to such opera tions or lose their lives. After this thfy have resorted to Peruna and found relief. Other good remedies have accom plished the same result, but II is safe to a-sume that no other remedy has equaled Peruna in IU beneficent work. Many of the alleged Incurable de rangements of the pelvis are dependent upon catarrh, Thero lno cure for these except tho removal ol the calarrli. Peruna sem'inyly works miracles in some of theifl cases. The explanation, however, is very simple. Fernnii re move the c-t&ri'u &ud Jsalure does tho test. I' TIIK PirXUE OF THE IH ITWI.O. The total area Inhabited by the buffalo was about 3.000,000 square mlfes. Of this the open plains were one-half, says Scribner's Mngazlne. According to figures supplied me by A. F. Potter o the Forest service, the ranges of the Dakotas, Montana, Wy oming, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Texiie and Oklahoma (a total of nbout 760,iftO square miles, or half of the pluitis) were, a-.cordlng to the census 1900, carrying 24,000.000 head of cattle and horses and about 6,000,000 head of sheep. This means that when fully stocked they might sustain n number of buffalo at least equal to the number of cattle and horses.
