HACK to NATURE. SCHOOL ACTIVITIES. Pendleton is proud of the school and athletic activities here this spring. The high school and the Pendleton academy are active this spring and are doing things which count The high school track meet this afternoon and the debate between Pendleton and Tualitln academies to right are two Important events in the school life of the city and the people take more than passing Interest In them. Athletic training Is a part of an education and the East Oregonlan de lights to see Pendleton high school occupying a high place among the schools of the Inland empire in this branch. The same boys who make records in running, Jumping, throwing the discus and leaping the hurdles have the mental activities necessary to make good students. Their ahletic training Bhould sharpen and stimu late their minds and make them bet ter scholars. Debates, literary' societies, school papers and all the side Issues are ab solutely necessary' parts of an educa tion and should be encouraged. The academy debate which will take place tonight In this city is a necessary part of the academy course of training and is an education In Itself. Pendleton should encourage the coming of more school events to thin city. She is the center of a vast sec tion in which are located some of the finest public and private schools In the wext and there should be more track meets, school and academy de bates, declamatory contests and other school activities here. The facilities are here, the train service Is favora ble and Pendleton urges upon the public school authorities of the city the Importance of bringing these events here. Last summer Ell W. Weaver, of the Boys" High school, Brooklyn. wrote to the New Tork state depart ment of agriculture that a large pro portion of his boys desired to work on farms during vacation time, says a school journal. Word was issued and soon after Mr. Weaver received 10 applications for his boys. Great was the delfght of the boys, who spent their summer days on the farm. Now an organization has been formed, numbering 2600 members, all pupils In the New York city achools, who plan to spend their summer days as laborers on the farm. "Back to he soil" appears to be a sentiment more deeply seated than many grown ups have been willing to admit. Mr. Weaver has suggested an In- erestlng solution for vacation occu pation of the children In the congest ed city districts. The organisation ought to be extended to other cities. It would be a splendid thing if philanthropists could be attracted to the aid of such a movement In order that money might be secured for the transportation of pupils to the farms. The west could use many of the am bitious young people who desire to lead a summer days. stop to much of the crooked work that Is being uncovered In the west It Is no wonder President Roosevelt is determined to place every foot o remaining timber In a forest reserv The plundering of the forest domain of the country I one of the most shameful pages In the history of the west.

There will be, when 1 come horns. through the htil-gap In the west, The friendly smile of the sun on the fields that I love best; The rep-topped closer here and the whlte-whorled daisy there. And the bloom of the wilding brier that attars the upland air; mere will be birth-mirth sweet- mellower none may know The flute of the wild wood thrush, the call of the vireo; Pleasant gossip of leaves, and from the dawn to the gloam The lyric laughter of brooks there will be when I come home. There will be, when I come home, the kmdllnesB of the earth An, how I love It all. bounteous breadth and girth! The very sod will say tendril, fibre, and root, Here is our foster-child, he of the wandering foot. Welcome! Welcome!" And in' l shall pause at the gate alar That the leaning lilacs shade, where the honeysuckles are; shall see the open door O farer over the foam, The ease of this hunger of heart there will be when I come home!

Some of the trusts may have to cut their dividends, If the probable revis ion of the tariff becomes a reality, and trust products are placed on the free list, or shorn of the protection they now enjoy, says the Spokane Chroni cle. Steel, for Instance, can be made cheaper In this country' than It can abroad, yet steel products average $10 a ton higher here than they do In Europe. The reduction of the tariff may cut the steel trust's annual profits about $160.000,000 practical ly In half. The proposed reduction in steel would, therefore, greatly reduce the dividends on steel stocks, but the steel consuming companies, and even the farmers and manufacturers would benefit vastly. So It Is all through the list of protected commodities. One result of the reduction In prices should be reduction In living expenses, but the necessary reduction In net and gross earnings and dividends for com panies may also result In a reduction In wages, so that the purchasing power of dollars and of labor may be about the same as now. I M AXILLA COUNTY. The coming of the rain this week, Just as the Associated Press and other alarmists were scattering broadcast the Information that Umatilla county was on the verge of ruin from drought, piles up the evidence, moun tain high, that Umatilla county Is the safest place on earth to live. With a larger wheat area seeded than usual and with a better crop prospect than usual, the unfailing rain that comes always when needed in this county, Insures another bumper yield, enormous business, plenty of work for all and handsome bank accounts. No matter how cold the w'lnter or how dry the spring, Umatilla county always produces a crop. There has never been a failure, never has been a year In the history of the county when a good crop was not harvested In this county. Some spots suffer at times; tome of the soil yields smaller returns on some years than on others, but It always yields. A failure la ab solutely unknown in the county. No greater Inducement than this enn be offered to the homeaeeker. The assurance of raising a crop every year, for half a century without fail ure is a gilt-edged guarantee, but this PLUNDERING THE WEST. As an Illustration of the land plun dering which has been conducted In the west during the past two or three decades ft Is only necessary to cite a case at Lewlston. George H. Kester and W. F. Kettenhach, bankers of Lewlston, were convicted last year for fraudulently securing 60 yellow pine timber claims worth from $6000 to $8000 each. Small sums ranging from $100 to $600 were paid to the entrymen for the claims by these bankers and thn government was thus wantonly rob bed by citizens of alleged "high" standing In the community. Now In order to recover the land United States District Attorney Rulck has asked that all the patents be can celled. 50 In number, and thn land restored to the United States. The patents will perhaps be Issued this week In order that their cancellation may be simplified. Perjury, conspiracy, fraud were all practiced by these entrymen and bank Tf in plundering the. public domain of 10,000 acres of timber land worth 1260,000. These same bankers set themselves up as model citizens handling the people's money, soliclt- Ir.tf public patronage and helping di rect the affairs of a community. Is It safe for the public to trust I'.n funds with men who will wilfully rob tin government? Where a man Is crooked In one line can he be trusted In any other? These arc Pertinent questions and when the plunging spec ulators who are handling the people's money come to realize that people re gard them In this light. It will put a stock lode. In the future electric locomotives of the General Electric company type will haul the ore along the underground railway. It was In 1877 that the Sutro tun nel was first opened and the mules were taken underground. Aa the years passed many of the animals died but the 12 old veterans survived to be pastured out for the rest of their natural lives as a fitting reward for long and faithful service When Virginia city was snowed in and cut off from the world In 1890 the Sutro mules saved the lives of the Inhabitants. Provisions were low ered Into the mouth of the tunnel, hauled five miles underground by the mules and hoisted from the Virginia shaft. Throughout the mining districts of tne west, mules and burros in mine haulage work are fast being displaced by electric locomotives. These loco motives are built especially for un derground work and will turn short corners, and work In narrow, low roofed tur.nels even better than the animals The electric locomotive will haul more ore and do the same work quicker than the mules BOND BROS.

The whole number of voters regis tered In Union county is only 3146, says a Union county paper. At Camp Oerson but one out of 30 registered the others not having been In that precinct the requisite length of time There are wour republicans and one democrat seeking nomination for county clerk, one of whom Is William r. Anderson or la Grande, who has Just closed what he esteems a test candid. oy for pure politics. His le gitimate expenses up to this morning do not exceed $125 His announce ment in the local papers, hire of hall ana band: hotel bills and carfare alone are so reckoned He has spoken to goodly numbers all over the county in favor of purity In official life and for local option, with the open declara tion that he has been able to make a pleasant canvass for votes and has not found it necessary to treat a voter nor accept treats of liquors or cigars. HOW TO LIVE 1000 YEARS. Samuel Fallows, bishop of the Re formed Episcopal church and founder of Christian Phychology a combina tion of falh cure and medicine now In his 73d year, believes that men ought to be In their prime at 80 and live to be 120 years old, says a Chi cago dispatch. Here Is the explana tion he gives: Drink sour milk or pure buttermilk two or three times a day. Avoid too strenuous living. Go to bed early and get up vith the rising sun. Take plenty of exercise of a kind not associated with your actual employment Obey rigidly 'the laws of hygiene. K"vp a clear conscience. Love God and be square with your fellow man. Drink some more sour milk. The prelate said: "I am Indebted for my material to three sources: "1. The Bible. ". A newly published book by Prof. Elie Metchlnkoff a French scientist. "3. Science In general. "Metchlnkoff, one of the profes sors in the Pasteur Institute In Paris. Is the greatest exponent In the world of the theories of Darwin. It Is his business to hunt up diseases and their remedies. In a new book Metchlnkoff points out that the reason men do not live o a great age is because under modern conditions the arteries har den with advancing age, due to de posits of calcareous substances. "He has discovered that the anti dote for this condition Is sour milk. The sheaths of the arteries are sof tened by the milk. The principle, hi says. Is as sound as thevlrus theory says, is us sound as the virus theory In hydrophobia and anti-toxin and vaccination for other ailments. "Metehnlkoff declares that sour milk or pure buttermilk should be drank two or three times a day. RISING BREAST Wasco County Registration. Not a populist In Wasco county! That Is the record as shown by the abstract of registration of electors sworn to by County Clerk Bolton, says The Dalles Chronicle. In all the 28 precincts of old Wasco there is none who will subscribe as a middle-of-the roader. Of the total number that registered for the primaries, 662 democrats, 86 prohibitionists, 74 so cialists, 62 Independents and 33 who refused to state their politics. These Independents and those who refuse'ij to state their politics will not be per mitted to cast a ballot tomorrow, as the primaries are only for the con venience of the parties In nominating their candidates. There are 3269 names on the registration books for the primaries. And many other painful and serious ailments from which most mothers suffer, can be avoided by the use of MOtnirt FriSH.
