In God's own might We gird, us for the coming fight. And, strong In Him whose cause Is outs In conflict with unholy powers, We grnsp our weapons for the fray And strive with evil day'by day! Whittler. strong men and women, the work of life may be made easier and the ac complishments more superb. If we think gloom and shadows, these will hover near us. If we push back the clouds and think of sunshine and progress and health and better ment th.se glorious gifts will be ours! We too often lock up the most priceless gems of the mind and soul, and get no benefit from them, give the world no hint of their splendor! LET I S HAVE STEEL IilUIGES. WHAT WILL PEXTH.ETON DO? People cast aside the subjects of forestry and tree planting m fit only for (016011818 and departmental writ ers. But in a few years what is Pendle ton, Umatilla county. Union county, Baker county and eastern Oregon go ing to do for fuelT This abstract, scientific subject of reforestation comes vividly home to us, when we think of this phase of the subject! What will we do for lumber, for fuel, for fencing in the rear future Where Is the supply to come from? Who will plant for the future? Who Is personally Interested In tree planting? Millions are Interested In cutting down timber; millions are engaged In destroying the magnificent forests. But what a small proportion of those who remove timber, think of replant ing the d- nuded mountains? Keallv, it is not an abstract, far removed subject. It Is knocking at our door, at Idaho's door, Utah's "oor at the door of the nation! It is all right for florid timber spec ulators to paint In glowing terms the nurat er of billions of feet of stand ing timber in Oregon. But how much higher will the price of lumber and fuel soar In Oregon? When will a larger supply of these articles become available In Pendle ton and Umatilla county? How n any dwellings would b! built In Pendleton this year, but for the extortion of the lumber trust? These are not glittering generalities. They are tangible home Issues. It is time that some active steps were taken to reclaim the denuded mountains. The deserts are being ran'dly reclaimed. Shall not the mountains be? Umatilla county will be on the map as long as the world stands. It is not a temporary affair. Its roads w ill be traveled, Its streams will be crossed and its mountains travers ed as long as men Inhabit the coun ty. Does it not seem poor business man agement to build temporary, inex pensive county roads and bridges, as though every year Is to be the last' Is it not a most disastrous waste to repair county roads and bridges In a cheap manner, each summer, only to have them washed out every spring? This expensive system will drain the substance from the county year by year. The temporary repairs will recome more and more costly and permanent repairs will be rendered almost impossible within a few years. When the O. R. & N. company found Its wooden bridges weakening find washing out, what did the com pany do? Build mere wooden bridges? Hardly. Several millions were in vested In substantial steel bridges which are invulnerable to floods and washouts. This Is the sort of economy which pays. These steel bridges and this permanent roadbed built at great cost will last for all time. So should Umatilla county do. Each year the county court will be Justified in installing one or two first-class steel bridges, until finally every stream and crossing Is equipped with an imperishable improvement. It will be a saving of money to do his. The taxpayer will be benefited by the change of plans. If Umatilla county expected to go out of busi ness the cheap, but oft-repeated re pairs would be permissible. THE END, If it must come, shall die glltterlng- I pray the end, see Love, like a banqueter, ly The flush of Life at floodtlde; not a tear Upon its face; within Its eyes no fear Or faltering; In Its heart the lealty That uncomplnlns because It was to be; On brave untrembllng lips a song of cheer; ' Upon Its brow the feast's unwlthered wealth Of bloom, not falling petats; In Its hands A brimming cup, not less. Thus for a while We'll drain with clinging Hps one Inst long health To Yesterday! and soul to soul we'll stand A space then front the Silence with a smile! Maurice Smiley, In The Reader, A DARREN IDEALITY. Four years ago last Sepfembcr Wtn fleld S. Stratton died. As a poor man he was dubbed a crank. When a fluke of fortune made him rich, he was called peculiar. When he left the bulk of his estate of $12,000,000 to found a home for aged and Indigent poor he became a noble philanthro pist. But no one questioned his Judg ment of men till after he died. Then his administrators began to adminis trate, and hired high-priced lnwyers to defend the estate against claims that other lawyers were hired to make till the estate had dwindled down to $0,000,000 (estimated). Still no work men were set to work quarrying stone for the foundations of tne home. Meanwhile the very good died, and the poor grew still more aged. Yet the administrators continue to ad ministrate, and the lawyers feed on fees, and claimants still claim. With the eye of faith, we may reach our children, yet unborn, to view the no ble edifice that exists only as a fig ment of a dead man's brain and heart. Last week, however, when one unfor tunate died of starvation In Colorado Springs, In plain view of the site of the proposed home. It looked to our carnal eyes like a barren Ideality. Colorado Springs News. Pendleton has Just done nobly by her Commercial association. A debt of $400 has Just been paid ty the public for the gymnasium of the as sociation. This Is an index to the Pendleton spirit. Twice the Frazer was filltd to overflowing with enthu siastic Pendl"tonians who are loyal to their Institutions. Another op portunity will be given this loyal Pen dleton nubile to show its enthusiasm for another Pendleton Institution, whe-n the public schools will present 'The Pixies" next Monday and Tues day night. The fund raised By these entertainments will be used for fram ing the valuable pictures bought last year by the women's clubs of the city. This is in a good cause and deserves the heartiest patronage of the public. A new scheme to prevent pipes from freezing consists in first cover- lne the Dines with a thin layer of straw, sawdust, tan bark, etc. Pieces of unslaked lime as large as the fist are packed around the pipes and en veloped In another layer of some non conducting material, straw, oakum or cork, and the whole wrapped firmly with some coarse fabric. The lime will draw moisture from the air and the materials surrounding It, and will ko" warm through the chemical re action. The outer covering prevents too rapid slaking of the lime so that one covering will last through a sea son. For thawing pipes similar ar rangement can be made but greater heat Is generated by pouring water on the lime. Blocks of ground can also be thawed In this manner. r r i i akin Powder Made of Pure Grape Cream of Tartar. Safeguards the food against alum SOTAL SAHINO POWDf a CO NIW VOIR. NEUTRALIZE EFFECT OF BURNS. Chance led to the discovery of a remedy which Instantly will cnuse burns to cease from being painful and also causes injured flesh to heal speedily. Dr. Thierry, a physician In the Paris Charity hospital, was In the habit of using picric acid as an anti septic, so that his hands were Im pregnated with the solution. One day In lighting a cigarette he dropped a portion of the burning match in his hand, but instead of feoling It he noticed not the slightest pain. A short time afterward, while scaling letter some of the burning wax stuck to his finger, and' though, It cauterized the skin, he felt nothing. He began a series of experiments In healing burns with a saturated solu tion of picric acid. All pain Instantly was suppressed. After having bathed a wound In a solution of this acid blisters did not form and a cure was effected after four or five days. The only inconvenience was that the acid colored" the skin yellow. But this is rapidly remedied by , washing with boric acid. The pride we have In place and blood Is only Justified when we make It o.

While Mercury and Potash may mask the disease In the system and ver up the outward symptoms for awhile, they cannot cure Contagious Blood Poison j when the treatment is left off, the disease will return worse than before. Mercury and Potash eat out the delicate lining of the stomach and bowels, produce chronic dyspepsia, cause the teeth to decay, make sponpy, tender gums, affect the bones and nerves, and often cause Mercurial Rheumatism, the most hopeless form of this disease. Thousands have taken the mineral treatment faithfully for years to find, when ft was left off, that the disease had only been smouldering in the system, and the old symptoms of ulcerated mouth and throat, falling hair, copper-colored spots, swollen glands, sores and ulcers, etc., would return in all their hideousness, and they were no nearer a cure than when they first commenced , the treat ment. S. S. S. is the only certain, safe and reliable treatment for Contagious Blood Poison. It is the one medicine that is able to go into the blood and cure the disease permanently, and without in jury to any part of the system. S. S. S. ioes not cover up anything, but so completely removes the poison that no trace of it is ever seen again. This medicine will also remove any bad eflects left by previous mineral treatment. S. S.

In nc other sphere of life or activ ity may the power of suggestion, or mind Influence be used as profitably and successfully as in teaching school. Tbe teacher who suggests sunshine and cheerfulness to the receptive minds of children gives them a herit age that cannot be taken away. Children can be led much more easily than forced. The healthful, hopeful mind of a teacher may tact fully yet surely lead the way through difficulties where coercion and force would miserably fall. Py studying the minds of children the thoughtful teacher may make his own work easy and may see rapid progress among the pupils. By using the secret forces with which nature has rtorcd the hearts and minds of That Is a selfish and narrow old principle which provides that the cap ital of the state shall be the home of all state institutions. No state should be handicapped by such an ironclad prejudice. Is it not a crime to force the Insane people of Oregon to live arbitrarily In the Willamette vallfy when a few months of eastern sunshine might mean sanity, health, renewed strength, liberty and useful lives to many of them? Shouldn't some measure of common sense be used In government as In private business? No man can stand absolutely alone in the world. Every man, no matter how independent, leans In a certain sens'., upon his associates and upon the community. Some of the best things that we do are actuated by borrowed suggestions from others. Wc tike more from our friends than we give In return. Are Your Drugs and Medicines Pure? Do They Comply With the New Federal Pure Drug Act? You Buy Quality From U$ and Pay No More.
