Every citizen of Umatilla county who is loyal to the county will agree with the East Oregonlan when It says that Pendleton, and not Walla Walla must be the center of any electric railroad system which covers Uma tilla county. But unless Pendleton capital Is on Its guard, such will not be the case. The Invasion of Umatilla county by an electric line from Walla Walla Is even now taking business away from Umatilla county. As this system of electric lines with Its center In Walla Walla, Is extending over Uma tilla county, It will strengthen the position of Walla Walla as the center and objective point. It will be sever al years, perhaps. If at all, and all of these years the smaller towns In the east end of Umatilla county will be patronizing and supporting Walla Walla. This Is not an alarmist editorial, but It Is a plain talk to Pendleton capital and a warning that Is sounded In the Interest of Pendleton. Pendleton capital or capital secur ed by Pendleton, should begin now to counteract the Influence of the Walla Walla-Freewater electric line, by the construction of lines which will bind every portion of Umatilla county to this city. Soon the Hermlston and Umatilla districts will be teeming with settlers, and If the Walla Walla line Is not checkmated there Is a pos sibility of an extension to Helix and thence to the west end of this county, thus placing Walla Walla In direct touch with every portion of Umatilla county. The city of Pendleton should begin now to Join forces with the Open River Transportation company and see that the proposed line of railroad which Is now surveyed from Simmons Landing on the Columbia river, to Holdman, be extended to this city. This line will be completed within a few years and would counteract any Walla Walla In vasion Into the north part of Umatilla county. While the electric line movement is young, yet It Is imperceptibly making Walla Walla the center, turning peo ple's eyes toward Walla Walla, mak ing It easy for people to go to Walla Walla and If allowed to develop along PROF. The Drugless Nerve Specialist. What is the Definition of Nerve ? An Organ of sens sation and motive; firmness; strength. There are several nerve centers In the body. Let one of them become de ranged or .weakened and what is the result? Take the stomach, for In stance, which Is one of the great nerve centers. If the nerves In the stomach become deranged or weakened, what then? Indigestion, sour stomach, then nervousness In different form that af fects the nerves of the bowels, which sometimes causes diarrhoea, others constipation. The whole nervous sys tem then becomes affected and many Consultation Free at the Bowman Hotel. these lines, will ultimately work greatly to the disadvantage of Pendle ton. There are Just ns competent and wide awake business men In Pendleton as in Walla Walla. There are Just as many Inducements for people to come to Pendleton as to go to Walla Walla, if the public conveniences are equal. Pendleton must beware. If she would bring the people of Umatilla county to her, she must offer facilities equal to those offered by Walla Walla. Pendleton, and not Walla Walla, must always be the railroad and trad ing center of Umatilla county. A TALK TO BUSINESS MEN. Pendleton business men who have been liberally patronizing the Echo register with advertisements, .will be surprised to learn that In the recent write-up ' of Echo and vicinity, the Register did not mention the name of Pendleton nor of a Pendleton Institu tion. It "cut Pendleton out" entirely when It came to advertising the coun ty, but The Register comes to Pendleton for business right along. This Is a lesson to Pendleton busi ness men, one "which should remind them of certain useless forms of ad vertising which they are called upon to support. Pendleton newspapers have more subscribers In Echo thnn the Echo Register has, and advertisements In Pendleton papers which are, or should be carried by every Pendleton busi ness firm, reach the people of Echo more quickly and more thoroughly than through the Register or any other local paper in Echo. The East Oregonlan alone, has more circulation In Echo nnd Its tributary country, than the Register can ever hope to have, and advertisements of Pendleton firms in the East Oregon lan are read in almost every home In that rich country. If business men would only realize this, and would understand that the large dally papers published In the county seat reach every portion of the county, thorough ly and quickly, they would concentrate their advertising funds wtiero they would bring results, Pendleton papers have helped make Echo what she Is. The East Oregon lan has published perhaps 50 columns of reading matter advertising Echo and Echo business firms In the past three years, and this rebuke which Pendleton business men have receiv ed from the .Register, which lft out all mention of the county Seat, should be a reminder hereafter. When Pendleton Commercial asso ciation appropriated $100 this spring to advertise the various parts of Uma tilla county, one the best pages in the booklet Issued was devoted to Eoho and vicinity. It Is hoped that the Register does not fully express the attitude of Echo and her business Interests toward Pendleton, the county seat. WHY NOT LA FOLLETTE. If Roosevelt Is so anxious to let his mantle fall upon a candidate who Is In Btrlct accord with his own vigor ous policy, why does he not select Senator Robert La Follette, Insted of the plutocratic toady, Taft? Before Roosevelt picked Taft up and made him something, officially, he was In disfavor throughout the coun try. He made himself obnoxious dur ing the railroad strikes of 1888 and 1894, by his biased decisions In favor of corporation Interests and If left to his own resources today would per haps repeat his actions of that period. If Roosevelt will not become presi dent again and really desires to see his policies continued through an other, administration, why does he not select such a man as Senator La Fol i lette, who has had the manhood and W. F. WELLS ..... . . :i fearlessness to stand up for the Roose velt Ideal through a sharp fire from the ultra-conservatives In congress? In what way do either Toft or Fair banks represent the Roosevelt Ideal? In what way have they ever express ed a willingness to bring the govern ment back to the plain people, and unhorse the corporations which are now In the saddle In congress? If Roosevelt does not name a man who will really continue the Roose velt policies, It Is certain that Bryan will be the, next president. Bryan .Is the father of the Roosevelt Ideals, but without a strong following In con gress Bryan would have his hands tied. While It would be' a heaven-sent vindication and reward for William Jennings Bryan to honor him with the presidency, yet he Is honest enough, big enough, conscientious enough to be sntlsfied with the tri umph of his principles through the agency of a Roosevelt, a La Follette or any other candldatj who might bi elected on the Bryan platform. There Is no good reason for locat ing the proposed city hall anywhere else, than upon the tract of land now owned by the city at the corner of Alta and Cottonwood streets. This was selected for the purpose because It is in the heart of the city, conven ient to all parts. It is large enough for a city hall to answer all needs of Pendleton perhaps for all time to come. The talk of locating the city hall north of the river or on upper Court street Is all intended to direct attention away from the real logical location at the corner of Cottonwood and Alta, where the city has purchas ed property. Let us stick to the original Intention of the city council and build a city hall In the heart of the city where It will be convenient and accessible to all. A MOUNTAIN NOCTURNE. Crimson, and beaten gold, and gleam Ing green, Purple and steely gray, the Lord of Light Onthers his robes about him; spreads their sheen mordent from the Peak, and then the Night! The west parts slowly with Its rud- ly glow: The purple shadows darken. On the hill The silent spruce Is sentry; and be low The lazy gossip of the birds Is ctlll, The startled aspens shiver in" their . sleep; The hunyy coyote in the distance whines; Like guilty priests affright, the wood folk creep From out the dark cathedral of the pines. Dark, deep, and strangely glowing. broods the sky: The stars, outstanding In their or bits, gleitm; And through the listening canyon ceaselessly Throbs the complaining 'cello of the stream. George L. Knapp In Denver News. Sicily's Wheat Market. Vice-Consul Jacob Rltter reports that the Importation of American wheat Into Catania, Italy, Is becom Ing of considerable importance. He says further; During the three months ending February 28, 12,600 tons of American hard wheat, valued at $460,000, were received at this port. This wheat after being Mixed with Sicilian and Russian wheat Is ground Into grits (semola) and then used fo manufacturing macaroni and bread, the latter being prefer red to that made of flour. Formerly all the grain imported into Catania, came from south Russia, which guve very good results, but the heavy Rus sian demand and higher prices caus ed the millers here to turn to Am erica. Thirteen Inches of snow fell at Denver on April 2d. The heaviest snowfall at that place so late In the season since 1885. other ailments may be the result. What shall we do?

In the case cf calves the price experienced an unusually strong In crease, rising from a range of $6.96 to $13.3:'. in 1J03, to $6.19 to $18.18 in 1907.

A great many people have an idea RY IMPURE BLOOD that old sores exist merely because of WAi- a diseased condition of the flesh where the ulcer it located. They patiently apply salves, powders, plasters and other external applica tions, but in spite of all such treatment the place refuses to heal. When ever a 60re or ulcer does not heal readily the blood is at fault ; this vital fluid is filled with impurities and poisons which or constantly being discharged into the place, feeding it with noxious matief, which makes it impossible for the sore to heal. Old sores may be th rwult of an inherited blood taint, or the effects of a long spell of sickness, or again the circulation may be contaminated with the collections of refute matter which the different members have failed to expel through the channels of PURELY VEGETABLE trouble because they do not reach the blood. S. S. S. cures Old Sores by g oing to the very bottom of the trouble, driving out the impurities and poisons and purifying and building up the entire circulation. When 8. S.
