Tlu-re is a high place In the up-
per air,
So high that all the Jarring
sounds of Earth
All cursing and all crying and
all mirth
Melt to one murmur and one
music there.
And so, perhaps, high over worm
and clod.
There is an unimaginable
goal,
Where all the wars and dls-
cords of the soul
Make one still music to the
heart of God.
Edwin Markham in The Nau-
tilus for July.
THE PRICE OP INDUSTRY.
It is an old, old story that peace
hath her victories no less than war.
It might well and truthfully be added
that some of the victories of peace
-cost aa much as do those of war.
More than 500,000 workers are kill
ed or disabled In the United States
every year. The mills and factories
account for 250,000, the railroad for
' 84,000, mining for about 12,000, and
so on till the ghastly toll is completed.
About 15 per cent of the number are
killed outright. The rest are disabled,
their producing capacity Is diminish
ed or cut off altogether; a large pro
portion of these, estimated by the
government statisticians at 11 per
cent, become charges on the public.
Figure over this thing a little while,
and see where It leads. In old slavery
days in the south a well-trained negro
was worth often aa high as 13000,
and any able-bodied alave would
bring nearly $1000.
The white man la a far more effi
cient worker than the negro, and con
siderable proportion of this industrial
killing is among the very best of the
white workers. Say that the average
workman is worth $1500 to the state
a moJerate estimate and the
money value of the lives wasted in
this country each year Is $750,000,000
one-quarter of the cost of the civil
war. It Is useless to estimate the
life cost, the cost in pain and heart
ache, for no method has yet been
devised for measuring these.
What Is the remedy? No hand-me.
down prescription of a street corner
quack. That is pretty certain. But It
is equally certain that some remedy la
terribly needed. And much relief can
be given by judicious legislation.
The employers' liability laws can
be made effective, for on thing, and
reforms could be Introduced which
would make it possible to get a per
sonal damage suit settled In a reason
able time. That would help very
much to start with.
The employment of children around
factories and mines could be absolute
ly prohibited. That would stop the
rooet distressing of the losses.
And our tariff could be revised so
as to put less burden on the farmers
and give lesa unnatural encourage'
tnent to our trusts, which. In addition
to the money price they cost us, levy
moet of this blood tax as well. With
farming made more profitable, the
employers who wanted hands In the
factories and mills would have to im
prove conditions to get them.
And the rest of the Improvement
will have to be left to the slow
growth of Intelligence and justice
among us. It takes time. It comes
high but it comes.
PROFIT IN TREE PLANTING.
The government forest service is
sending out valuable suggestions for
tree planting and is trying to empha
size the possibilities for conservative
and highly-profitable Investments In
forest plantation.
More and more, according to one of
the recent bulletins, railroads and
other corporations and farmers
throughout the country are establish
ing commercial plantations to supply
the timber for their own needs or for
commercial profit.
Financial profits in commercial for
est planting can be beat obtained by
the selection of species which will
produce the most valuable) product In
the least time. Many planters ar not
aware, however, that each tree kai
a definite geographic and climatic
range, beyond which It will not grow
with sufficient vigor to justify Ita uae
for commercial planting.
Each region has certain trees adapt
ed to It. It Is In selecting the proper
trees for a given region that the pros
pective Investor must use good Judg
ment If the venture Is to be success
ful. Mistakes are not only extremely
costly,, but they may not be found
out for a number of years.
The forest service has Investigated
problems of tree planting and has re
cently Issued planting circulars on the
trees best adapted for timber produc
tion In the United States. These cir
culars give a general doserlptton of
the tree and Its uses. They also give
detailed Instructions In regard to the
methods of propagation, planting, cul
tivation and care.
THE SPIRIT OF PROGRESS.
The city of Los Angeles surely has
the spirit of progress. The great need
that the city has felt Is water for the
Innds surrounding the city. There are
millions of acres of the finest land In
southern California adjacent to Los
Angeles which are not under cultiva
tion for the simple lack of water for
Irrigation purposes.
To remedy this fault, the authori
ties of the city resolved to bond the
city for the monster sum of $23,000,-
000.
The election was held last week and
the project carried by a vote of 10
to 1, although there was organized
opposition to the plan, and although
the voting of those bonds gives Los
Angeles the heaviest per capita of In
debtedness of any city of the entire
country.
It was argued that the burden of
taxation Imposed would be oppressive,
but the people evidently believed that
with all that rich land under cultiva
tion and producing crops of fruits, al
falfa or other products instead of
lying Idle, the growth of the city In
population and assessable wealth
wodld more than offset the Increased
taxes required so that Instead of a
burden, the new Indebtedness would
prove to be a source of relief from
present taxation.
That Is the kind of spirit of progress
that makes cities, and it will not be
surprising with a very few years to
note that Los Angeles had passed her
older sister city of San Francisco.
THE LAWYER.
The Baker City Herald, published
In a city which has almost as many
capable and brilliant lawyers as Pen
dleton, pays the following deserved
tribute to that profession:
Law has been rightly termed the
"crowning profession" of life. There
Is nothing of more help to the world
than a bright, scholarly and gentle
manly attorney.
In that profession, the same as In
many others, a comparatively small
number rise to prominence. The law
schools of the country each year turn
out a grlBt of young men who hang
out their shingles and commence the
struggle for an existence, but as the
years go they drop out one by one
until only the few get any place.
The really big lawyers of the coun
try are common men; men of prac
tical sense, for after all, law Is nothing
but the commonest k'nd of reasoning
and good horse sense.
They do not place themselves In
the foreground any more than la
necessary; they really shun publicity,
but when they are employed on a
case their time and energy Is devoted
to that case the same as the hod car
rier or any other laborer's time la
given to his employer.
Lawyers. of much account today do
not resort to vllllflcatlon or abuse
when trying cases. The time ' was
when the smartness of a man was
Judged by the amount of mean and
sarcastic things he could say about
his opponent, but that day has gone
by. The attorney who can question
a witness and use courtesy and gen
tleness of manner is the one who gets
the best results, t
There has been great Improvement
In everything during the last quarter
of a century, even the legal profession.
The plea of the timber speculators
now at the Denver convention that
the forest reserve areas are needed for
actual settlers is a dishonest claim
on their part Not one small frac
tion of the present forest reserve
areas could be utilised for agrlcultu
ral purposes and the real facts are
that the land speculators want the re
serves thrown open that they may
further enrich the millionaire com
panlea and control the timber of the
world.

THE ROSE IN ROMANCE
AND IN HISTORY.
From its close association with the
drama of human history, the rose
has a peculiarly Intimate place in the
affections of the race. Moreover,
this is a blossom which endears Itself
to the heart no tender nursling, but
a vigorous, sturdy outdoor creature,
which generously breathes its fra
grance out upon the air to bless all
mankind. In the remotest wild
places the tender blossoms of the
wild rose uncurl to the sun and the
fragrant biler flings' Its dainty pink
banners to the breeze.
Romance and history cluster
around the fragrant rose. For 30
years in England during the fifteenth
century the rose was a symbol on
both sides of war bloody, cruel war
every LimeuMvlan ' with his red
rose, and every one of the York side
wearing a while rose in his bonnet.
There Is a gracious tradition that
when the wur was at lust ended by
the mnrrliige of Henry VII of Lan
caster to Elizabeth of York, a rose
bush which during the conflict had
borne roses of both shades now blos
somed forth which had petals of
mingled hues. Such a rose la known
today and bears the name of the
York and Lancaster rose.
If, as suggested, the Romans car
ried the rose of cultivation Into Eng
land and perpetuated there a custom
of the planting the rose over the
graves of their dead as a sym
bol of immlrtulity, the rose was
even then freighted with a wealth of
tradition. " ,
A Roumanian tradition, as told In
Dyer's "Folk Lore of Plants," cu
riously accounts In this way for the
origin of the rose. One morning, Just
at the peep of day, when the sun
came up, he stopped to gaze upon a
bautlful princess sporting In the
laughing waters of the sea. He was
entranced at her beauty, covered her
with kisses and forgot his duty.
Onte, twice, thrice night advanced to
take up his scepter and rule over the
world, and still the sun occupied the
sky. Then the lord of day changed
the princess to a rose, and this is why
the rose always hangs her head and
blushes when the sun gazes on her.
The two flowers which are from
earliest times dedicated to the Virgin
are the lily and the rose, and these
emblem are used in this connection
In the earliest statuary.
The institution of the ceremony of
the golden rose is one of the oldest
observances of the Roman Catholic
church, which is still followed. This
ceremony dates from the year 1049,
und'-r the pontificate of Leo IX.
This pope, wishing to establish his
right of patronage over the monas
tery of the Holy Cross In Alsace, ex
acted from it every year a golden
rose. This custom still exists and
the rose Ie blessed by the pope on
the fourth Sunday in Lent. Former
ly in the solemn papal procession of
the day the pope carried It in his
left hand while with his right be
blessed the people. It Is usually
presented to the Individual or the
city which during the year has best
deserved the favors of the holy see.
The rose weighs two ounces and was
formerly colored red to typify the
blood of the Redeemer shed for his
people. It is now made only In pale
gold. The gold, as the noblest of
metals, ie Intended to represent
Christ, and the fragrance of the rose
refers to his resurrection.
The republic of Venice, which was
the birthplace of several popes, pos
sessed five of these roses In the
treasury of St. Mark's church, but
during the wars they were lost or
stolen.
LONELIEST SPOT IN THE WORLD
Where is Tristan da Cunha? It la
a mere mass of desolate rocks away
out In the South Atlantic ocean,
midway between the Cape of Good
Hope and South America. The col
ony numbers only 73 people, and
their only link with the rest of the
world is the annual visit paid by a
British third class cruiser from the
South African squadron.
Last year the British ship Odin
called at Tristan to see If any of Its
strange Inhabitants wanted medical
aid or ci red to come out into the
world. The men have a few canvas
boats, and come out to meet their
visitors, to trade mutton, butter and
albatross skins for any thing they can
get. They own quite a number of
cattle, sheep and pigs, and grow ex
cellent potatoes. They gave us un
limited fresh milk, which is the
strongest beverage to be found In
Tristan.
The Islanders have a patriarchal
form of government under John
Swain, the oldest Inhabitant. To him
are referred any disputes that may
arise, which appear to be very few.
The 17 families of Tristan have In
termarried for several generations;
and weddings and baptisms are per
formed by the captain of the visiting
man of war. Last year we baptized
three habes and celebrated two inter
esting marriages.
All around the settlement, and ex
tending for about a mile out to sea,
there grows gigantic seaweed, or
kelp, which reaohes to the surface In
150 feet of water and forms a treach
erous: trap for any castaway craft that
may find Itself In these little known
waters.
The sea hereabouts fairly swarms
with fish. Drop a line baited with
anything from salt pork to a piece of
bread and you will haul up a deli
cious seven pound five flngor, or a
kind of bass weighing from 10 to 80
pounds. The lack of wheat, owing
to the swarms of rata, Is a serious
drawback. Frequently the Islanders
never taste bread for eight months
out of the IS, and most of them sub
sist on slight variations of a meat and
potato diet. The climate, never goes
to an extreme. Prentice Bradbury

There is no other part of our physical system upon which SO much
depends a upon the blood. The muscles, nerves, bones, sinews, skin, and
other portions of the body are sustained, developed and enabled to perform
their different duties, because they are supplied with nourishment and
healthful properties through the circulation. In various ways the blood
becomes contaminated and polluted. A sluggish, Inactive condition of the
system, and torpid state of the avenues of bodily waste, will leave the refuse
and waste matter of the body to sour and form uric and other acids, which
are absorbed into the blood and Rheumatism, or some itching, disfiguring
skin disease is the result. Muddy, sallow complexions, eruptions, splotches,
pimples, etc., all show that some humor has taken root in the circulation
and rendered it sour and unfit for nourishing the body. There Is scarcely
any disease which cannot be traced to the blood. Often the disease-tainted
blood of parents is handed down to children and their lives are a continual
battle against disease in some form, usually of scrofulous nature. Rheu
matism, Catarrh, Skin Diseases. Sores and Ulcers. Contacious Blood Poison.
etc., are all deep-seated blood troubles, and until this vital fluid is purified
they cannot be cured. For all blood diseases S. S. S. is the best remedy ever
put upon the market. This great medicine is made of roots, herbs and barks
of recognized blood-purifying and building-up properties. It goes down Into
the circulation and removes all poisons, impurities and humors, supplies
the blood with the healthful properties it needs and completely cures blood
diseases of every kind. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula,
Skin Diseases, Sores and Ulcers, Contagious Blood Poison, etc., because it
purifies the blood. Book on the blood and medical advice free.

ABE LINCOLN AND ARE HUMMEL.
Abraham Hummel was born in
Boston, July 27, 1850. In the same
year and the same month, and almost
the same day, another Abraham, sur-
named Lincoln, talked out at Spring
field, III., to a group of young law
yers concerning their profession, say
ing to them:
"Discourage litigation. Persuade
your neighbors to compromise when
ever you can. Point out to them how
the nominal winner Is often a real
loser In fees, expenses and waste of
time. As a peacemaker the lawyer
has superior opportunity of being
a good man. There will still be busi
ness enough.
"Never stir up litigation. A worse
man can scarcely be found than one
who does this. Who can be more
nearly a fiend than he who habitually
overhauls the register of deeds In
search of defects In titles, whereupon
to stir up strife, and put money Into
his pocket 7 A moral tone ought to be
Infused Into the , profession which
should drive such men out of it.
"There Is a vague popular belief
that lawyers are necessarily dishonest.
I say vague, because when we consider
to what extent confidence and honors
are reposed In and conferred upon
lawyers by the people. It appears Im
probable that their Impression of

dishonesty Is very distinct and vivid.
Yet the Impression Is common, al
most universal. Let no young man
choosing law for a calling for a mo
ment yield to the popular belief
resolve to be honest at all events; and
If In your own Judgment you cannot
be an honest lawyer, resolve to be
honest without being a lawyer. Choose
some other occupation, rather than
one In the choosing of which you do,
In advance, consent to be a knave."
