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

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

In wages, so that the purchasing power

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

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:

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

"Metehnlkoff declares that sour
milk or pure buttermilk should be
drank two or three times a day.

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
