It Is with literature as with
life: wherever you turn you
stumble upon the corrupt mob
of humanity, swarming In every
direction and soiling everything
like flies in summer. Nine
tenths of our present literature
has no other aim than to get a
few shillings out of the pockets
of the public; and in this pro-
gram, author, publisher and re-
viewer are In league. Because
most people read what is new
instead of what is best, writers
remain In the narrow circle of
present Ideas and the tendency
toward the trashy stuff lntensi-
fies. Schopenhaeur.
ENJOY THE CITY TODAY.
The present generation of property
holders In Pendleton Is not going to
live always. Within another quarter
of a century all of the present list of
middle aged men must expect to be
relieved by another generation.
The property of the city will con
tinue to increase In Value. The
wealth which the present generation
will bequeath to the coming genera
tion will have Increased many fold and
Its ability to pay will have multiplied
likewise.
Why, then, should the present gen
eration deprive Itself of all the com
forts of city life In order to hoard a
larger gift for the future? Why should
we not enjoy better streets, a city hall,
a good system of water works, a better
sewer system and a more secure
levee, now, today, while we are on
earth to enjoy such things?
What good will the hoarded wealth
of today be to the property owner of
today, half a century hence? Why not
provide the necessaries and comforts
as we go along and enjoy them while
we may, leaving the Increased proper
ty values of the future to take up the
burden where we lay It down?
THE RACE FOR WEALTH.
Men are driven harder by their bus
iness today than ever before. There
Is less real leisure, less real enjoy
ment, less downright pleasure for the
active business man today than In any
past period. Competition, the de
mands of big enterprises, the dynamic
blows of a hard driving master gold
all combine to shorten the life and
curtail the enjoyment of the active
business man.
Few men live to a great old age
any more. They carry such loads
upon body and brain that nature
cannot stand It long. They are filled
with dreams of wealth, struggles for
triumph, conquests of new fields and
the overthrow of rivals, until stag
gering at the zenith of their career,
nature refuses to bear the burden and
some trifling ailment snuffs out the
overworked candle.
Tou can count the strong, healthful,
virile, unimpaired active business
men In your acquaintance on the fin
gers of the two hands. The small
minority Is free from some killing
nervous disorder while the great ma
jority are sufferers, victims of the
serfdom of business.
LAND IS NOT BAD.
There Is very little bad or poor land
In Umatilla county. It Is simply mis
understood. When farmers find the
right process, the right crop, the right
treatment for the sandy, arid land,
either under irrigation or dry land
farming, It will all produce well.
Much of the incorrigible arid land
of the west is rated as almost useless,
while If Its best characteristics were
brought out, It would make men for
tunes. It Is like the Incorrigible boy. On
the surface and to the naked eye, It
appears bad but get right down to
the true substance and spirit of It, and
It is full of good features, good traits.
So let us study the Incorrigible land
as we would study the Incorrigible
boy. Let us look for that system of
treatment, that application of practi
cal sense which will bring out the
hidden virtues.
It is estimated that Colorado will
reclaim every foot of idle land In that
tate, either through dry land farm
ing or Irrigation. Some of the Idle
land In Colorado surpasses the Oregon
desert for sterility, so If Colorado has
so far mastered the art of conquering
incorrigible land as to convert her
deserts Into habitable tracts, let Ore
gon take hope.
In whatever trumphs In reclama
tion may come to Oregon, Umatilla
county will always stand at the lead.
Here are the climate, transportation,
markets all the needed facilities for
development. It may now seem in
credible that raw land under water
should be worth from $50 to J100 per
acre according to locution but there
ij no reason why tills same virgin soil
under proper treatment, may not "be
worth $1000 per acre.
THE HOLE IX THE BUCKET.
Every business has innumerable
leaks by which the Income which Is
earned at so much cost Is permitted
to flow out unobserved, draining the
substance from the business while the
guiding energy of the Institution Is
struggling to keep up the source of
supply:
Alfred Henry Lewis, editor of Hu
man Life, of Boston, tells the follow
ing Interesting story on James J. Hill,
Illustrating the splendid keenness of
his intellect and his appreciation of
the details of his vast Interests. Mr.
Lewis says:
Mr. Hill was once riding at night
on the rear end of his private car,
when his train passed over a long
wooden trestle. A freight train had
gone over, -a few minutes before, and
Mr. Hill remembered he had given or
ders that after the passing of all
trains over this trestle, a track patrol
man should go over the structure
with a bucket of water and extinguish
my embers that might have fallen
from the locomotive.
Though the Hill special was going
along at 40 miles an hour, the alert
eye of the president caught sight of
a hole in the bottom of the bucket, as
the watchman in the moonlight threw
the vessel over one shoulder. Mr.
Hill ordered the train back to the
trestle and summoned the wat-'aman
to him.
"My man, you are to the Great
Northern company Just what the hole
la to the bucket you carry a good
aeal worse than useless. You may
throw the bucket away and look for
another job. Human life Is too dear
to trust it to one of your kind."
THE FRUITS Of FOLLY.
This week a representative of an
orphans' home took out of Umatilla
county several deserted children
which will be placed In homes In
other parts of the state.
In nearly every case these children
were the offspring of young girls
who had been married early only to bo
deserted later by the wretches who
promised to protect and support them.
As a result, these helpless waifs
must be sent among strangers, or be
kept on the charity of the state, either
of which Is a most unfortunate condi
tion In which to bring up children.
Society owes It to Itself, to take a
hand In match-making and marriage.
When the burdens of Individual folly
fall upon society, then society has a
right to say how heavy those burdens
shall be.
When the charity of the county or
state must support the children of un
fit or Incompetent parents, then the
state and county have a right to say
whether unfit or Incompetent people
shall marry and Inflict their offspring
on the public. It Is a serious question
and one which must be fairly and
squarely met by society sooner or
later.

birth can be entirely avoided by the use of Mother's Friend, a scientific

-MILLIONS FOR MUSIC
An Industrious calculator has esti
mated that $10,000,000 were spent
last winter by the people of Amerl
ca for the enjoyment of serious mu
sic music, that Is to say, as It is
known in our concert halls and opera
houses; not the music of the comic
opora stage and the vaudeville
house.
The figure Is more likely an un
derestimate than un exaggeration.
Few social phenomena of recent
years In this country have been more
lemarkatile than the enormous in
crease in the popular demand for
musi of the better class..
Ten years ago the works of Wag'
nor, of Beethoven, of Schubert, of
Schumann, of Tschuikowsky were
relegated, in the average mind, to
the vague and unattainable limbo of
"classical" music; today, one catches
one's carpenter whistling the "Sieg
fried" motive from "Der Ring des
Nlebelungen," and the little dress-
makr from the suburbs discourses
Intelligently upon the revolutionary
art of Richard Strauss.
The publishers will tell'you of the
large and increasing demand for
operatic guide-books, for biographies
of great composers, for Introductions
of all hinds to the secrets of that
supposedly mysterious art the art
of music; and the great tribe of pop
ularized flourishes as never before.

FATHER OF REFERENDUM.
'The Sunday Oregonlan prints the
following excellent sketch of the be
ginning of the Initiative and refer
endum in the state of Oregon:
"Father of the initiative and ref
erendum" Is the title that has been
conferred by common consent upon
W. S. U'Ren of Oregon City. Though
the title- has been rightfully confer
red, with all the honor or contumely
that history may accord when ex
perience has demonstrated the value
of his service, yet he was not the first
man to urge the amendment before
the legislature.
Friends of W. F.. King, now su
preme court commissioner, say that
the flrt appearance of the principles
represented by the words "Initiative
and referendum" . In any practical
form In Oregon, and probably lh.
first introduced into any lawmaking
body in the United States, was in the
form of a proposed amendment to the
constitution Introduced by King, then
senator from B.,ker and Malheur, at
the session of 1S95,
No vote was taken at that session
and it was Introduced in revised form
at '.he session of 1S97, when it was
adopted by the senate, but the house,
which dbl not organize, took no ac
tion. Most of the features of the
present li.itiative and referendum
clause were taken from the King
measure.
To Mr. U'Ren has been accorded
the credit f.T the adoption of the
amendment because It was he who
ngltated the question until the state
conventions of both political parties
Indorsed it and practically all the
candidates advocated it, thereby se
curing for it the overwhelming pop
ular vote by which it carried.
THE VNDERWORLD.
Deep in the treacherous mazes of
sin,
Down where the highways of sorrow
begin,
Silently, hopelessly, wasted and gray,
Cne of the magdalenes passes away.
Jone is her brightness of eye and
of brow.
Drained Is the cup of her bitterness
now,
Blanched are the lips that derided
the truth,
Hushed" is the infidel laughter of
youth.
Who will upbraid her with all Bhe
ha? lost
Paying the magdalene's terrible
cost?
Better the solitude, better the sleep
Silence of charity, mantle her deep.
Wearily, helplessly, wasted and gray,

WORKING WOMEN,
WHAT THEY SHOULD KNOW
MR5.5ADIE ABBOTT
'Women for the most part spend
tbeir lives at home, and it is these
women who are willing and ambitious
that their homes shall be kept neat
and pretty, their children well dressed
and tidy, who do their own cooking,
sweeping, dusting and often washing,
Ironing and sawing for the entire
family, whs call for our sympathy.
Truly the work of such a woman
la "never done" and Is It any wonder
that she breaks down at the end of a
few years, the back begins to ache,
there is a displacement, Inflammation
or ulceration of the abdominal organs,
a female weakness la brought on, and
the struggle of that wife and mother
to continue her duties is pitiful.

Compound, made from native roots
and herbs, is the extet medicine a
woman needs whose strength is over
taxed. It keeps the feminine organs
in a strong and healthy condition.
In preparing for childbirth and re
cuperating therefrom it ' is most effi

through the ehange of life and in
making her strong and well assists
her to be a good wife and mother.
