If men would give one-half
their time to the practice of
the virtues of life charity,
love, fraternity and equality
the poorhouses, the prisons,
the asylums and brothels
would be depopulated. We are
held for our share of the wrong
around us. We are given a
knowledge of right; we lnflu-
ence others by our words and
deeds. Every man who stands
still and sees a fellow go wrong
without offering a word of
warning. Is guilty. Intelligence
and genius were given to man
that he might climb higher. If
he uses them. for selfish aims
he worse than wastes them.
A PARK AND A LIBRARY.
Pendleton has reached that stage in
her growth when the people abso
lutely demand something in the way
of public comforts. The paved streets
are a response to this urgent demand.
Everybody in Pendleton now delights
In the pavement. How the city man
aged to do without it so long, is now
one of the wonders.
The same insistent craving for pub-
lie comforts and conveniences now
demands a beautiful city park and a
large and upto-date public library.
These features of city life are indis
pensable. How Pendleton has passed
through all the years of her eventful
history without adding these utilities,
no one can say. ,
, Both a library and a park are with
in reach of the city. It can no long
er be said that the city is unable to
secure these things. The old ceme
tery north of the river is absolutely
within the Jurisdiction of the city and
-can be converted Into a park, it is
said by lawyers who have investigat
ed Its legal status.
The foundation for an excellent li
brary is owned by the Commercial
association and there is no reason
why it should not be developed Into
an excellent public asset.
With a library and a park estab
lished in this city, there will be a
pleasant and inviting place to which
strangers may be taken and where
the people of Pendleton may enjoy
to the fullest the benefits of organized
society.
ADVERTISING PAYS OREGON.
While many people are Impatient
with the results of advertising Ore
gon, yet the money spent by this state
In publicity during the past three or
four years has brought marvelous re
turns In the way of settlement and
good citizenship.
The results may not te apparent to
the casual observer, but a close and
painstaking investigation will show
that the constant current of immigra
tion which is pouring Into the state,
Is largely the direct result of the wide
advertising of Oregon.
Every letter wr'tten to eastern
people bears fruit Every circular
sent out brings its return. Every
good word spoken by Oregonlans In
the east ripens into excellent fruitage.
It Is safe to say that the majority of
the permanent settlers who have
come Into the state during the past
three years can trace their first Im
pulse to come to Oregon to some one
of the various advertising features
sent out by Oregon and Oregon cities.
It is impossible to measure the re
turns from advertising In dollars and?
cents. If the state gets but one sub
stantial family for every $1000 ex
pended Jn advertising, is not that an
excellent Investment? One substan
tial family located here means a
strong Influence reaching Into the
east. It means an endless chain of
friendship, a limitless and ever
spreading attraction which will con
tinue to draw good citizenship to
ward the state.
As an Illustration of the outside
sentiment on the results of advertis
ing In Oregon, the following editor
ial from the Boise Capital News upon
that subject Is cheerfully republished.
The News says:
Oregon Is receiving the benefits of
extensive advertising of that state, It
being estimated that 1000 new people
are coming to the state daily to re
side permanently. More than one
billion pieces of literature have been
distributed to eastern people relative
to the advantages of our western
neighborhood and the effect Is being
felt In Increased population and
wealth.
The state has not had to pay the
expense of this advertising wholly,
the railway companies joining In the
expense and In the distribution of
the literature. No state In the Union,
not even Oregon, has the basis for
extensive advertising that Idaho has,
yet but little, comparatively, is being
done In that direction. Neither the
state nor the railway companies seem
to exert themselves as they sh child
in this direction, with the result that
the growth of Idaho Is much less In
proportion to Its advantages and re
sources than it ought to be.
GET ACQUAINTED.
Pendleton will welcome the Port
land business men's excursion most
heartily, especially on this "off year"
when there is no political campaign
to actuate the Journey.
This can be made a nost cordial
and profitable event. Portland should
be better acquainted with the state.
She should understand the resources
and magnitude of the state more
thoroughly, that she may more fully
realize the Importance of the fullest
development of the Interior.
This Is an Immense country east of
the Cascades. To many people who
have lived In Portland for a lifetime,
the size and. Importance of eastern
Oregon is but faintly understood. ,
It will be a revelation to many of
the gentlemen who will come with
the Portland excursion to know that
sagebrush land near Pendleton which
three years ago was practically worth
less, is now considered a good bar
gain at $100 per acre. Fruit land
in the irrigated districts pays good
Interest on a valuation of $250 to $400
per acre. Dozens of farmers In this
vicinity have refused $100 per acre
for wheat land and today a good ewe
which will shear 10 pounds and drop
a lamb in April Is worth $5 In gold
and very few of this grade of sheep
are for sale.
Alfalfa land in the vicinity of Pen
dleton produces from five to eight
tons of excellent hay per year, worth
$5 to $7 per ton In the stack. This
same land a few years ago was spurn
ed by the Investor, homeseeker and
speculator and was designated by the
learned professors of our agricultural
colleges as being fit only for Jack
rabbits and squirrels.
There has been a magical trans
formation in eastern Oregon and It
will be refreshing to Portland busi
ness men to get out in the open and
rub against the big, broad, palpitat
ing state which pours. Its golden
stream into their warehouses.
Despite the unfavorable weather of
the past few weeks in this county,
spring work is progressing ' rapidly
and trade in this city and all of the
county towns is excellent. The dry
weather last fall prevented consider
able seeding and causes many farm
ers to rush their work this spring, but
the result at next harvest time will not
be different from the usual harvest
season In Umatilla county. The crop
conditions of this spring are, in fact,
more favorable than usual at this
time, the ground being filled with
moisture.
BE GOOD TO YOUR EXGIN'E.
"Yes, sir," said the fat engineer to
the New York Sun, "I always make It
a point to be friendly with my engine,
same as a good teamster Is kind to
his horses, and they seem to appre
ciate It. Sometimes I get one that Is
a dyspeptic with a perpetual grouch,
like some human bein's, but It ain't
long before I have 'em so's they'll eat
out of my hand.
"Now, there was old 1133. When I
got her she was like an unruly child,
but after. I had run her a spell 'n'
used her firmly but gently, lettln" her
know I was boss, she fell to working
like a charm.
"I always put up a holler if I sus-
plcioned the yardmaster was putting
on more cars than old 1133 could han
dle, especially at such times as I
thought the old girl was off her feed,
It sure stood mo In good stead, for
whenever I got Into a tight place 'n
needed to shove her a little bit to
make a meetin' point, ' she'd never
lay down.
" 'Now, Nance,' I'd say to her, when
I was ollln' 'round, 'we've got to be In
Congers In Just so many minutes.
Do your prettiest,' on the same plan
as a good driver hands his horse a
nice red apple before he urges him
to draw a heavy load up a tedious
hill. An', say, when I'd give her
steam she'd whirl her train along at
Twentieth Century Limited speed.
TURTLE WAXDERED 43 YEARS.
D, C. Lee of Detroit, who Is stop
ping In Spokane for a few days on his
way to the const, relates a strange
tale to the Review of the wanderings
of a turtle for 43 years, upon which
were carved his Initials and which
strayed from Taneytown, Md., to Get
tysburg, Pa., where it was found last
fall by Captain Herman Mertz from
whom the shell was returned to Mrs.
Lee. On the turtle's back was carved,
"D. C. Lee, Co. B., U. S. E., 1863."
The story of the find was published in
a New York paper and an old com
rade of Mr. Lee's In Brooklyn sent him
the clipping. He communicated with

The General Condemnation of So-Called
Patent or Secret Medicines
of an injurious character, which indulge in extravagant and unfounded pretensions
to cure all manner of ills, and the
National Legislation Enacted to Restrict Their Sale
have established more clearly than could have been accomplished in any other way
The Value and Importance of Ethical Remedies.
Remedies, which physicians sanction for family use, as they act most beneficially
and are gentle yet prompt in effect, and called ethical, because they are of
Known Excellence and Quality and of Khown Component Parts.
To gain the full confidence of the "Well-Informed of the world and the approval
of the most eminent physicians, it is essential that the component parts be known to
and approved by them, and, therefore, the California Fig Syrup Company has pub
lished for many years past in its advertisements and upon every package a
full statement thereof. The perfect purity and uniformity of product which they
demand in a laxative remedy of an ethical character nre assured by the California Fig
Syrup Company's original method of nianufacture, known to the Company only.
There are other ethical remedies approved by physicians, but the product
of the California Fig Syrup Company possesses the advantage over all other family
laxatives that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts,
without disturbing the natural functions or any debilitating after effects and without
having to increase the quantity from time to time.
This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known tinder the name of
Syrup of Ficrs, and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of
family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well
known to physicians and the Well-Informed of the world to be the best ef natural
laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir
of Senna, as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtlessly it wiH always
be called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs; and to get its beneficial effects,
always note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup
Co. plainly printed on the front of every package, whether yon simply call for
Syrup of Figs, or by the full name, Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, as Syrup
of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Company, and the same heretofore known by the name, Syrup of
, Figs, which has given satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading
druggists throughout the United States in original packages of one size only, the regu
lar price of which is fifty cents per bottle.
Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company, filed with the
Secretary of Agriculture, at Yfashington, D. C, that the remedy is not adulterated
or misbranded within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act, June 30th, 1906.

the finder, Inclosing affidavits but by
that time the crustacean had mani
fested such an inclination to stray that
Captain Mertz put an end to Its life
but sent the shell to Mr. Lee.
While camping at Taneytown pre
paratory to Meade's advance to Get
tysburg, the turtle crawled into Mr.
Lee's tent one night and was prompt
ly captured, but Instead of turning It
into soup, it was allowed to crawl
away after the Initials had been carv
ed upon Its back. Taneytown Is 14
miles from Gettysburg, where the
turtle was found, and as that class of
animals Is not famed for keeping in
a straight and narrow path, It is prob
able that, many score of miles have
been traveled during the 43 years of
traveling. The turtle was found at
the place where Pickett's famous
charge occurred.
Mr. Lee Intends to bequeath the
shell to some museum together with
an Ivory gavel which was used at
Vlcksburg by auctioneers in selling
slaves.
AUIfCRAT OP ("HATER LAKE.
W. O. Steele, the enthusiastic
mountain climber of Portland, had a
conference with Secretary Hitchcock
nf the U. S. department of the in
terior, recently, which resulted In
the secretary granting him the ex
clusive camping privileges about
C'rau-r lake in southern Oregon. It
I understood that Mr. Steele must
not deny camping privileges o any
one ho might desire to have an out
mg on the banks of the famous lake.
It would stem at first that Mr. Steele
had secured a sort of corner of the
outing business there, ns the right
granted by tho secretary (now ex
tccretary) is somewhat wide In its
scope. It Includes franchise for es
tablishing and conducting boat ser
vice on the lake, and conducting stage
