Somewhere a sweetness grows;
Somewhere it comes and goes
Into your life and mine,
Mortal, and yet divine!
somewhere a sweetness speeds
I'nto our sorest needs; .
I'nder the gloom, the clod,
Upward It grows to God!
Somewhere, in field or stream;
Bomi where, in deed or dream;
Somewhere a sweetness clings
Round us w ith wardering wings!
Somewhere, In darkest hours,
Bird-song or bloom-o'-flower,
Lo. at our weary feet,
Somewhere is sweetness sweet!

MR. GEER'8 RECORD.
To people who have fead the East
Oregonlan for the past third of a
century the charge of the Pendleton
Tribune that this paper Is acting as
a stool pigeon for the Pilot Rock Rec
ord or any other paper will appear
ludicrous In the extreme.
The East Oregonlan has a way of
doing things on its own responsibil
ity without fear or favor and knows
nothing whatever of the bitterness
between Mr. Geer and Mr. McManus,
and in conducting its campaign in the
congressional race is actuated by
nothing that McManus has said, done
or planned.
The East Oregonlan did not make
Mr. Geer's record. , It did not commit
the act which called forth the Grant
affidavit published yesterday and It
did not write the affidavit. It simply
turns on the light. It Is a candle
bearer, as the Oregonlan says, for the
people. What the light discloses the
East Oregonlan Is not responsible for.
Mr. Geer has made his own record.
He, alone, is responsible to the people
of Oregon and he should not so vic
iously resent the publication of any
part of the political history' 0)1 Oregon,
for himself and his associates have
made some little part of that political
history.
FOLLY OF TWO ELECTIONS.
Fixing the time for the state elec
tion of Oregon five months prior to
the date of the regular presidential
election was almost as big a piece of
folly as locating the state capital 52
miles from the center of population
and metropolis of the state.
At the coming election in June the
voters will have an opportunity to
vote to change the date of the state
election to correspond with the presi
dential election and thus save thous
ands of dollars of needless expense
to taxpayers. This amendment should
pass by a large majority.
The folly of the present plan is
made plain on a presidential year
when two elections must be held In
Oregon, two election bills paid and
two interruptions to the business reg
ularity of the state, must be submit
ted to.
Let us have one election date and
do away with this June election which
Is a needless cx&ensp and a waste of
time and vital force.
HER MISTON STARTS RIGHT.
The people of Hermlston and the
Umatilla government irrigation pro
ject have started right to make an
attractive country and an Ideal home
community. Before any settlement
was made upon the project a few
public-spirited men laid out roads
through the project and now that
settlement Is beginning to come, there
will be no costly litigation, no wrangl
ing over roads, no compromise, no
disfiguring the landscape, no road
wars such as usually curse every new
settlement.
One diagonal road has been laid
tit from Hermlston to the govern
ment reservoir a distance of six miles
inj all the sectional line roads lnter-
sect i tat , milking a network of wide
country roads, all leading Into the one
main thoroughfare, which penetrates
the heart of the project.
The road now laid out are wide
enough to allow wide parks In which
trees can he planted and this la go
lug to be done. Within a few years
i hat rich section, cross sectioned by
elegant country roads, bordered with
trees and hedges, will present a de
lightful appearance. It la easy to
imagine the homecroft Ideal fully
realized at Heriniston.
TO USE S IKE RIVER.
Snake river, obstructed with boul
Urs and confined between Its tower
ing perpendicular walls, crooked As a
snake, In reality, flowing through the
desert for hundreds of miles. Is to be
utilized for irrigation at last.
The senate of the United States
yesterday passed a measure permit
ting the construction of a dam by the
Benton County Power company at
Five Mile rapids, 15 miles above the
mouth of the Snake, and It is under
stood that this company will con
struct a massive dam there and divert
water for power and irrigation.
The desert lying on all sides of Five
Mile rapids Is highly productive. It
ll rich, sandy, sagebrush land, and
will produce peaches, grapes, berries,
garden or fruit of any known variety
in a bunch.
From the power site electricity
could be supplied to Pendleton, Walla
Walla, Spokane, North Taklma, Lew
Iston. and to all points In the Inland
empire. The power possibilities are
beyond conception. If you can Im
agine what power this magnificent
stream, turning the wheels of electric
motors, could produce, you have a
faint insight Into the meaning of this
dam and Its outcome.
Wires could be strung throughout
the Inland empire from the huming
motors of Five Mile rapids and with
in an incredible short time electric
lines could be in operation, homes
and country settlements could be
lighted and the inland empire would
literally shine with the hidden forces
of the magnificent Snake river.
UIKVS WHO IN UMATILLA.
The date for filing candidates peti
tions for the county and district has
passed and Charles A. Barrett of
Athena, is the only candidate for the
legislature to sign statement No. 1
for the popular election of United
States senators.
Mr. Barrett stood on this excellent
principle two years ago and was
elected by a handsome plurality. His
capable services In the legislature and
his second courageous stand for this
statement will Insure his election this
year by even a greater vott than whs
given him two years ago.
It Is now quite probable that can
didates for representative and Joint
representative with Morrow county
who will subscribe to statement No. 1.
will be nominated by petition in time
tc get their names on the official
ballot, as the friends of this princi
ple desire to see It put Into effect.
This will put the matter to a thor
ough test and It Is believed that a
delegation pledged to the people's
choice for senator would win easily
even though nominated at this late
day by petition.
A republican county and I republi
can state should have no fear of the
people in a senatorial election.
Where has Coxey been all these
years? Since 1893 when he led his
nondescript army through the coun
try. In a mock-heio onslaught on the
national capital, nobody had heard
a word from Coxey, until yesterday,
when the assembled hosts of the
popullt party named him as chair
man of the national convention at St.
Louis. Where have Coxey and the
populists been ull these years? Under
what "hay cock, fast asleep" have
they been In hiding? It is as though
the magie curtain of the past had lift
ed and the country given a glimpse of
those halcyon days of populism, say
from 1891 to 1896, when things were
really humming In places. Coxey!
The wires were hot with that name In
1894, but it has been dropped from
human speech since then, It seems.
Owing to the fact that Oregon had
no representation in the house at the
last session of congress, the work
which has accumulated for Congress
men Ellis and Hawiey Is enormous in
quantity und diversity. All of the
departmental work which falls upon
a congressman had accumulated dur
ing the previous session and Con
gresKman Ellis Is trying to clear up
the work of two sessions In one. He
writes that he has not been ab!i to
attend any of the public functions or
social affairs at the capital during
the entire winter, so great have been
the demands of the office upon his
time. By remaining at his post dur
ing the entire session he hopes to
clear up the work which had accu
mulated and to leave a clean desk at

EXPENSIVE ECONOMY.
The railroads, which have CUl their
force of employes as low as possible
and have allowed their cars, tracks
and locomotives to get In bad repair,
now announce that they will need
from 25J),000 to 300,000 men this sum
mer and full to help In the work of
repairing roadbeds, tracks ami ma
chinery, says the Spokane Chronicle.
They may find, In tho eud. that
their extreme economy was costly, for
now much work will have to be
crowded into limited time In order to
move next autumn's crop.
The net result may be that much
of the railroad equipment will be In
poor condition next fall and that there
will be another car shortage.
IN THE DIM LONG At.o.
There's a mystical place In a for away
land,
Where echoes are ever awaking,
From those valleys our spirits by
breezes are fann'd.
Where the footsteps of (Mends dot the
blllow-klss'd land.
Where memory's surges are break
ing. Tls the realm where the years when
their cycle Is o'er.
Come In from their pilgrim. me slow.
Where they bring the bright trophies
of days gone before.
And lay them away on tho echoing
shore
Of the land of the Dim Lon? Ago.
Round Its valleys and hilltops B halo
is twined
Where our fancies oft fitfully play.
Where links that were broken are
potent to bind.
Where are llng'rlng lost treasures for
us yet to find,
In the land where old melodies
stray.
n the wake of the winds that roam
everywhere
Are trembling the pledges once
spoken:
There are low murmur'd tones of a
soul -soothing prayer.
And all those dear vows have been
registered there,
"Although vows and though hearts
have been broken.
There are nil those bright forms that
gladdened us !o.
Th it silently slipped from our side;
That the years have caught Into their
ebb and their flow
And treasured them safe In the Dim
Long Ago,
To wall until Wo cross the tide.
And if we would oftener thitherward
stray,
Where skies o'er beam brightly and
clear,
Where the beauty of spring has ne'er
faded away,
Where flowers that here perish bloom
day after day.
Fewer sighs would be wrung from
us here.
Herbert Drake.
A TOAST TO THE MEN.
Here's to the men since Adam's time,
They've always been the same;
Whenever anything goes wrong,
The woman is to blame.
From early morn to late at night,
The men fault-finders arei
They blame us If they oversleep.
Or If they miss a car.
They blame us If, beneath the bed,
Their collar buttons roll;
They blame us If the fire is out
Or If there Is no coal':
They blame us If they cut themselves
While shaving and they sw.ar
That we're to blame If they decide
To go upon a toar.
Here's to the men, the perfect men!
Who never are at fault;
They blame us if they chance to get
The pepper for the salt.
They btomo us If their business falls.
Or back a losing horse;
And when It rains on holidays
The fault is ours, of course.
They blame us when they fall In love,
And when they married get;
Likewise they blame us when they're
sick.
And when they fall In debt.
For everything that crisscross goes
They say we are to blame;
But, after all, here's to the men.
We love them Just the same!

A SAF " AND RELIABLE BLOOD PURIFIER
In the time of our forefathers the forests and fields were the only labor
atories from which they could procure their medicines. They searched out
and compounded the different roots, herbs and barks into remedies, many of
which have been handed down to succeeding generations, and continuously
used with satisfactory results. Among the very best of these old time prep
arations is S. S. S., a medicine made entirely from roots, herbs and barks,
in such combination as to make it the greatest of all blood purifiers. This
absolute vegetable purity of S. S. S. makes it the one medicine that may be
used without fear of harmful results in any way. Most blood medicines on
the market contain mercury, potash, or some other strong mineral. These
act with bad effect on the system, upsetting the stomach, interfering with
the digestion, affecting the bowels, and when used for a prolonged period of
time often cause salivation. No such effects ever result from the use of
S. S. 8., and it may be taken by children as safely as by older people. For
Rheumatism, Catarrh, .Sores and Ulcers, Malaria, Sctofula, Skin Diseases,
and all other troubles caused by impure or poisoned blood, S. S. S. is a per
fect remedy. It goes down into the circulation and removes all poisons,
impurities, humors or unhealthy matter, and makes the blood pure and rich.
It eliminates every particle of the taint of inherited blood trouble, purifies and
strengthens the weak, deteriorated blood, and establishes the foundation
for good health. S. S. S. is Nature's Blood Purifier, and its many years of
successful service, with a steadily increasing demand for it, is the best evi
dence of its value in all blood troubles. Book on the blood and any medical
advice free of charge. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA.
OPEN SHOSHONE PROJECT.
The great Shoshone liver Irrigation
dam In Wyoming, of which the first
stone was laid a few days ago, will
throw S7.000 acres of arable land open
for settlers, states an exchange. Of
this, 17,000 acres will be watered be
fore fall and 50.000 acres next spring.
The lake formed by the dam will
not be large, as the dam, which will
be 2.r0 feet high, blocks a deep gorge,
and the lake proper will only be 80C
feet long by 400 feet wide at the
widest point. The water will be taken
through a tunnel, known as the Cor
