To the sheepowner who runs 10.000 sheep In the mountains, such a small business as a hog ranch with 20 old sows and 100 pigs would not appeal. But there are Immense profits to be made from the small Industries, such as truck gardening and berries, poul try and egg production, potato rais ing, bee culture, dairying and othfrr pursuits which may be followed by families on small tracts of irrigated land In Umatilla countv The potato market In this city Is always good. Potatoes are scarcely ever less than II per sack to the re tall trade and from that price to $3 and .25. Poultry and eggs are always In de mand at high prices. There is a de mand for cream from home dairies and a dozen or more industries which may be engaged In by people of small means, promise excellent returns to the man who will Industriously fol low them In Umatilla county. Tt Is a mistake to say that Umatilla county offers rinthlng except to the roan with many thousands of dollars to Invest. Every part of the county offers excellent Inducement to the man with but small means. A few acres In the Echo, Hermlston, TJmatlUa, Freewater, Milton or Hud son Bay districts will yield a hand some Income to investors who are looking for permanent homes. In the southern part of the county near Tklah, Alba and Camas Prairie, land Is very reasonable and yields good returns In small farming and stock raising. Hundreds of small farmers and stockmen In the southern part of the county are getting rich, It may be somewhat slowly, hut it Is absolutely certain. And they are living in a good cli mate and enjoying good health while they are doing so. Nothing more can be asked for In locating a home. Let us boost the little Industries a while. Let us encourage the coming of the small farmer, the man with small means. He lives on his land end Is the hope of the country. During the past three days Wall strett. Hint roost and rendezvous of t lie financial pirates of the world, has experienced a real panic. The price of stocks has dropped with a startling descent, fictitious values ire being squeezed out of big corporations and losses, from the speculative stand point, have been severe. But the panic Is confined exclusively to the fold of financial wolves of the country- The great, throbbing, coun try, the backbone of the nation, has not experienced a thrill of dismay nor of alarm. The time has arrived In the United States when the country nt large, the Industrial world which supplies the real sinews of commerce, will move along uninterruptedly, even with a panic raging among the money chang ers and speculators of Wall street. The country Is se!f-sipportlng, In dependent. Stocks of the vast corpor ations may drop out of sight and thousands of speculators In Wall street may be smothered to death by the panic, and the country would not be affected. When the panic of 1S93-4 was hrought upon the country by the po litiacl and financial enemies of Grov er Cleveland. In order to punish him and his party, the west was plastered over with farm mortgages held by eastern capitalists. When the panic came they called In their money and spread havoc In the west. Today such a result would be Im possible, no matter how severe the eastern money panic. The west Is not heavily mortgaged, and the bulk of farm mortgages are held by western and local capitalists. As long as the world demands wheat, wool, flour, lumber and other western products, the rich man's panic ofj Wall street will not seriously af fect the west. The west has a con tinuous crop of products pouring Into the markets of the world, every month of the year. The strugcle for supremacy between the vast railroad and mining corpor- search of Investment. Let us Quit be ing so pessimistic. Dr. Evans, the alienist In the Thaw trial, coined a new expression In the English language when he said that a "brain storm" had control of Thaw when he killed the man who had wronged his wife. Hereafter, when a craay criminal ha, no other excuse, the "brain storm" will afford a means of escaping the rigor of the law. The labor unions are now adding to the high prices of lumber uy refusing to work, thereby cutting off the pro duction and giving the trust another excuse for an advance In prices to the consumer. In all plans for the betterment and Improvement of Pendleton a gravity system of city water must have first place. TIIF CALL OF TIIF. SPRING. Now the Four-Ways lodge Is open, now the hunting winds are loose, Now the smokes of Spring go up to clear the brain; Now our young, men's hearts are troubled by the whisper of the Trues; Now the Red Gods make their med icine again. Who hath smelt wood-smoke at twi light? who hath heard the birch log burning? Who Is quick to know the noises of the night? Let him follow with the others, for the young men's feet are turn ing To the paths of known desire and proved delight. Let him go, go, go away from here. On the other side the world he's over due; Send your road be clear before you when the old spring fret comes o'er you, And the Red God calls for you. Rudyard Kipling. HOW ISLANDS ARE PEOPLED. Sixteen natives of the Pelew Is lands in the North Pacific recently made a t involuntary canoe voyage. Their adventure adds proof to a cur rent theory of the manner In which the islunds of Oceania were settled by mnn. The Pelew Islands He east of the southern groups ot the Philippines. Sixteen savages In three canoes, with outriggers were fishing near one of the islinJs when a gale blew up and carried them out to sen. Thev hnd atlons. the death struggle between rl- j noth!ng to eat but fish. They were val interests in all street will not affect In the least the substantial and deep rooted prosperity of the coun try. The rich man's panic may cause alarm, as people become excited at slight of the smokrt of a distant bat tle, but It will not hurt the country. SQUEEZING OUT THE WATER. There has been a shrinkage In the Inst six months of fl. 698,420,000 In the market value of the stock of 60 companies whose shares are listed on the NewTork Stock Exchange, says the Chicago Livestock World. The corporations whose shares have been compared are the leading railroad and Industrial companies. The compari son Is made between the closing quo tations on Saturday last and the high prices at which the 60 companies sold last year. ' The average price of the active rail roads and Industrials on Saturday represents the low level of the year. The list of securities of which a com pilation of the shrinkage In market values Is made contains approximate ly 4T, per cent of the stock for which nn active market exlBts on the New York Stock Exphange. Th decline In the stock market has been very general, and practically the entire list of securities, Including bonds, shows a material depreciation aa compared either with the prices re ported in September last or January, WILT. ENFORCE THE ORDINANCE A majoiity r.f the people of Pen dleton cleaned up today, on tl e date set for the general work to be done, other will clef.n up tomorrow and some f'.-w will not pay any attention to the movement. The city council will strictly en force the ordinance providing for koeulny premises clean, where peo ple 'all to heed the general request to clenn up today or tomorrow. Every one is urged to clean nu their premises tomorrow, if they have not done so today, for on Mon day morning the city marshal and cjmmlttee of the city council will look over the city closely and where property has not been cleaned of hubblsh and' trash, the ordinance will be enforced. It should not be necessary to have a law to compel cleanliness. It Is a part of every self respecting and progressive business to be clean. driven about for tlxty days, In which' t'me they probably traveled 1600 n.lle", and at last sighted Formosa, an Island of which they had never heard. Almost dead from exhaustion, they landed and were kindly treated by the natives of the island. When they were atle to eat nnd had regained their strength they wt sent to ,'longkoiiR, thence to the Caroline Is lands, and from there home In a training schooner. After more than three months' absence they wero balled by their ft lends (is risen from the dead. It Is by such Involuntary voyages, anthropologists believe, that man was placed on many of the widely scattered Islands. A German student. 0f Skiig, has collected a ("rent many similar Instances, covering a period of a-century and a half. It does not look much like a panic to see thousands of people with money to Invest pouring into Oregon every month. If times were hard or If there were any signs of a real panic out side of Wall street, these people would be at home hoarding their savings, ln stea'd of riding over the country In THE HOUSE OF MIRTH. The following - sizzling sermonftte from Editor Hofer of the Salem Journal, on Edith Wharton's "House of Mirth," will cause many people to read, that hook for curiosity. Mr. Hofer snys: This Is a hook that should be ex pelled from the Salem public library. It is devoid of any literary or ethical merit whatever. The women In It are social degen erates of the fast set. The men are most lecherous cads. The women gamble, smoke cigar ettcs and use drugs. The pseudo- heroine dies under a dose of chloral. They are absolutely childless Im morality as it prevails in high so ciety. It requires tne digestion of a horse to read It nnd not become dys peptic. There ts not a thrill of human Im pulse In the whole work, until near the end a tagged-cut society woman has a bahy put in her arms by a washerwoman. For a wonder the child does not curl up and perish from the contact. CATARRH A UNIVERSAL BLOOD DISEASE Catarrh is usually worse la Winter, because of the cold, damp and suddenly changing climate. Colds are contracted, and neglected and as the secretions from the different inflamed membranes are absorbed Into the blood the unpleasant symptoms of the disease commence. The nostrils arc stopped up and a constant dropping of mucous back into the throat keeps up a continual hawking and spitting. The patient has dull headaches, ringing- noises in the ears, and often slight fever and a depressed, half-efclc feeling accompanies the disease. The blood becomes so fully charged with catarrhal matter that stomach troubles, are brought on, the kidneys and bladder are affected, and if the blood is not purified of the poison the lungs become diseased because ot the constant passage of impure blood through them. Catarrh cannot be cured with washes, sprays, inhalations and such treatment ; these cannot reach the poison-laden blood where the real cause is located, and can only give temporary relief and comfort. A disease which affects the entire blood supply as does Catarrh, must be treated with a blood purifier. 9. S. S. is the best remedy for Catarrh, which has' arrow n to be a universal disease. It sroes to PURELY VEGETABLE the bottom of the trouble, rids the blood of the catarrhal matter, reinvigorates the cir culation, and cures this disgusting disease permanently. When 8. S. 8. has purified the blood every part of the system receives a supply of fresh, healthy blood ; then the inflamed membranes heal and every symptom of Catarrh passes away. Write for our book containing information about Catarrh, and ask for any medical advice you desire. No charge is made for either.
