1XK1 I KX(K OF THE PORTAGE.
There is trouble and grieving
wherever we go.
There is always the trace of
the tear;
We cannot escape from the
presence of woe,
Vice ever is hovering near
For each who remains on his
feet through the strife
A hundred men stumble and
fall;
There are few who command in
the battle of life
But
It's a pretty good world, after
all.
S. E. Klser.
The '.itement of the rule reductions
by the O. li. & N. which was pub
lished at 'cngth In the East Ortgonliui
a i"ev days ago, show the direct influ
ence of the portage road. The reduc
tions affect only rlvor points und
practically only those points at which
the t'oats of the Open Klver Truns-
' nortatinn ennmanv touch.
Thi Is sufficient reason to believe
that the portage and the Open Hiver
Transportation company are responsi
ble for the reductions. The railroads
! must adjust their freight rates to
water 'ransportation along the Co
lumbia river. It is the only logical
standard where navigable rivers are
found.

JAPAN'S llESriSRECTIOX.
Seemingly without losing a step In
hr forward march, since the termi
nation of the Russo-Japanese war.
Japan continues to advance in Indus
trie and commercial lines.
A recent number of the daily con
sular reports issued by the department
of commerce and labor, says of Jap
an's development:
"Special Agent V. A. Graham
Clark tends a letter from Japan deal
ing with the rapid development oi
that country. He points out how thj
Japanese government is striving to
encounse the establishment of all
necessary manufactures In order that
the nation may he practically inde
pendent In the mimic uny tlic government
offiT the reiui-Mon of land taxes to
thoM- who will cultivate hillside lands
in order to incrra-e the nsrricultiinil
resources of the country.
Great progress Is being made in the
establishment of textile factories, and
Japan is already exporting coarse cot
ton clothe. The government aids by
loaning money at lower rates than the
government pays on in foreign loans).
In subsidizing steamships, establish
ing brar.ch banks In foreign countries
providire additional schr.ols for com
mercial and Industrial education, and
in other ways, great progress is made
in the development of the resources
of Japan. There is some uneasiness
in business circles because of the na
tional debt and the necessity for In
creased revenue."
Japan's humanitarian practice of
remitting the rases on cheap, scabby
land, in order to Induce settlers to
make homes upon the hills and In the
out of the way places, Is worthy of
imitation ty the United States government.

traffic is even heavier along the great
water courses than elsewhere. Lower
rates ar.d river transportation will not
harm the railroads, but Instead will
increase traffic.
The ra'lroads running parallel to
tbe Mississippi, Ohio, Allegheny. Mis
souri and other large streams do more
business In proportion to n.ileage
than roads not in competition with
the river Hues. The same will be
true of tbe Columbia river roads
Traffic will grow as the country set
tles up, and while rates will be reduc
ed to P. reasonable basis, and while
river transportation will be of enor
mous volume, yet tbe railroads will
ne congested with freight movement.
Where freight rates are lowered to
a reasonable basis, the nroduition of
crops will increase ar.d make more
btisir.ess. While boat lines are stim
ulating the settlement of the country
and 'nducing hoincseekers to cultivate
cheaper lands, the railroads will share
this prosperity and so in reducing
rates, the railroads are building up
their own business as well as mailing
prosperity for the producer.
SWAI LOWING. IMMiiEFKI.LFK.
The following poem on the liquor
uui'Stlon. was written by Joaquin Mil
ler for Success Magazine:
To public use? Behold, of nil
The beasts we breed to fight or feed,
This red-eyed siren. Alcohol,
Is worst, aye, worse than all their
greed.
Teach total abstinence? What gain?
Co tilt your windmills. If you may.
Hut while the world swings, tilt In
vain;
Aye, even to the Judgment day;
Man is but man. and man he must
Remain, a poor, weak pot of clny,
Till he returnoth to the dust.
Therefore, chain, muzzle, give In hand.
Of clean, strong, civil service men
Peoria or the utmost lano.
This monstrous wild beast of the
den.
Pay keepers of this beast of prey
To keep him clean, to ward the
weak.
The witless; let the light of day
Drive out the midnight rot and reek
Drive out each Circe, close her sty,
Aye. close a thousand. open one
Where ships mav rest or ships ride
by.
With sailors singing in the sun.
Let's give each soul the right to say,
Let's give each soul the right to
hold.
To set. or. better, give away
What it may give In bread or gold;
Hut give each city. town, the strength
To keep its every sinew free.
To hold all monsters at arm's length
Mad drink or mean monopoly.
Why yield to drunken greed the street.
The life without, the light within.
Then tux the very bread we eat
For such as neither toil nor spin?
And oh. the folly, piteous fate!
The sin of all sins, said or writ,
To see the proud old federal state
Sell hell to who will pay for It!
To see this bravest, noblest land
Sell shame and death, sealed at the
still.
To all who stand with reeking hand
To mar. mix. poison, what they will:
Sell hell for millions, billions, sealed
With Lincoln's great red federal
seal, .
Then loose it forth, all threads un
reeled And tangled, tangled, head to heel!
NEW PAGE and a square deal
New capital is being Invested in
Pendleton every year. Perhaps the
beginning of the year 1907 sees a
l irger bulk of outside capital Interest
ed in the -.-Hy than eny former year.
This new capital comes to Pendle
ton unprejudiced, unbiased, untram-mel-d
and is here to deylop the city
and m.-kc business.
Jt has purchased no old sores, in
herited no old fights, contracted no
old prejudices. It begins a new page
and If entitled to, and will give In
return, a square deal. It ' is new
blood injected Into the city and Its
Introduction is to be felt in Increas
ing prestige and business for Pen
dleton. Every year is a better year for Pen
dleton. The city takes hold of its
probleips with renewc-d zeal every
year. It meets Its issues with more
vigor and overcomes obstacles with
;:ieaer ease.
Itf- fcu: incFs men are broad and pro
gressive and can clasp hands with
anybody who Is making progress.
The Merruhls News-Scimitar is wil
ling to "swallow" the Rockefeller
gifts to educational institutions now,
in order to lay plans for better future
conditions, with the enormous funds
as a foundation to work upon.
In speaking of the recent gift of
Rockefeller to Chicago university, the
New -s-Seirpltar says:
John D. Rockefeller, it s-ems, has
given $20,000,000 to t lie University oi
Chicago.
Mr. Ko-.kefollvr's motives, even if
not all rlsht, cannot jn event great
good ul'imately coming out of his aid
to the cause of education. Though he
might exercise too great Influence in
the selection of professors, yet his se
lections would teach part of the true,
if part of the false, ami the.' false will
die and the true remain.
By the operation of the law of the
survival of the fittest, and law of se
lectim, a higher chaiacter of teach
ers will continually be chosen; on the
average each new selection will be
b.;tter than the preceding.
The permanent fund remains, and
later will support instructors of the
Ideal character, as well as it mr-y
maintain now those altog "th,cr not so
auvaneed.
My country. Is this thing well done?
Nay. this the one "utility."
The weightiest chain, and chiefest one:
Yet "we. the people," are we free?
Put by these millions, billions, then
Lay hold this master, monster,
beast,
With brave, clean, cultured, manly
men
At still door west or still door east;
Let each town hold Its million gold.
Each city hold all it controls.
Hut this would hold ten mlllionfold
And save, how many million souls?
