I'm weary of tolling and worry,
Of living the strenuous life;
I tire of the struggle and hurry,
The tumult, the noise and the
strife.
I long for .a sight of the flowers.
The song of the murmuring
stream;
I long for the forests where
hours
Will pass like the woof of a
dream.

I'm weary of plotting and
scheming
That lay out the map of the
game;
I'm tired of make-believe seem
ing That oft Is mistaken tor fame.
I long for the lake and the
river
That shimmer and shine In
the sun;
Where leaves In the warm
breezes quiver,
And re?t Is the goal I have
won.

AFTER PHELPS' SCALP.
A few disgruntled saloon men and
a bunch of law-breaking gamblers
who have been indicted and punished
for their crimes by District Attorney
Phelps, have determined to "get his
acalp" In the coming election.
Mr. Phelps has been renominated
ty the republicans of this district
without opposition and outside' of a
few of the "sore" 'saloon men there
Is no opposition to his re-electln. And
this opposition Is founded upon the
fact that Mr. Phelps did his duty and
enforced the laws which these fel
lows persisted in breaking.
The people of this district appreci
ate Mr. Phelps' sen-ices during his
present term and will re-elect him by
& handsome vote. The opposition
which he has aroused is a credit to
him and will strengthen him with the
solid people of the district.
Perhaps 73 per cent of the saloon
men of both Umatilla and Morrow
counties are now obeying the law
closely and are thankful that a check
has been put upon the disreputable
Joints which were formerly a disgrace
to the liquor business. These law
abiding saloon men are not after
Mr. Phelps. They will not oppose
his re-election and in fact they are
glad to support him, to the end that
he may be continued In office to con
duct his vigorous policy of law en
forcement against the macfjue, the
Joint and the tinhorn.
Within the pat. week half a dozen
of the oM-time tinhorns of Pendle
ton have returned to Inaugurate a
campaign against Mr. Phelps' re-election,
In hopes (hat they may some day
return, when the "coast Is clear" and
open up In Pendleton.
Put that day will never come. Pro
hibition Is so unpleasantly close to
the surface that the liquor interests
cannot afford to attempt to punish
any official for enforcing the law
apalnrt them. The people are with
the man who enforces and respects
the law.
that ho should oppose the statement
when he has an opportunity to put his
avowed belief Into execution.
It will be In order for Mr. Geer to
do some explaining for Mr. Lowell,
It seems. In return for the Lowell ex
planation this morning.
The people of Oregon .have taken
nn advanced stand on the popular
election of United States senators and
they will never recede from it. The
primary law gives the people abso
lite freedom and they will exercise
their God-given rights hereafter in
their own way, regardless of the ma
chines, organizations, cliques and
elans of politic.
We may attempt to ridicule the
popular election of United States sen
ators and compare It with the "Itch
In childhood," but the people become
serious when confronted with the
likeness of Oregon's past corruption
In senatorial elections.
If Mr. Lowell expects to be United
States senator from Oregon he will
have to get In line with the people of
the state who have declared thel
principles twice In succession In Ore
gon and who will never again elect a
senator opposed to the popular elec
tion of senators.
Political freedom Is not a political
disease. The people have as much
sense and Judgment as the so-called
leaders and they will do their own
thinking hereafter.
SLAUGHTER OF THE TREES.
FARMERS' TRAIX COMING.
Arrangements have practically
been made for the movement of
farming demonstration over the O. R.
& N. through the eastern Oregon
counties and the people of this sec
t'on are delighted to know that this
has at last been decided upon.
This train will be accompanied by
Dr. James Wlthycombe and a party
cf farming experts from the Oregon
Agricultural college and stops will be
made at all the Important points In
Umatilla. Morrow, Gilliam and other
counties bordering the O. R. & N
lines.
It Is hoped that the stops of this
train are made special events In the
different places. It Is a public
spirited enterprise on part of the O.
R. & N and should be highly appre
ciated by the people.
No matter whether you agree with
the agricultural experts in their
Ideas of farming; no matter whether
you believe in deep plowing, summer
fallowing or rotation of crops, come
out and hear the discussions. You
will be benefited by association with
the men at the head of Oregon's ag
ricultural experimental station. Don't
miss a meeting of the farmers In your
vicinity.
WASHINGTON' IS WEART.
The state of Washington Is weary
of the senatorial deadlock anjl cor
ruption which has cursed the 9tate
since It was first admitted to the
Union, and when the Washington
State Press association meets In the
near future the editors of the Ever
green state will demand that legisla
tlve candidates subscribe to statement
No. 1, which has been used In Ore
gon to avoid senatorial deadlocks.
Everywhere the sentiment In favor
of the popular election of United
States senators Is growing. Xo amount
of organized opposition can check It.
The senate Itself Is the strongest ar
gument in favor of the principle.
The Washington editors have taken
hope from the sweeping victory for
the principle In Oregon and will de
mand that the system be ingrafted
Irto the Washington primary law. It
is right. It Is wholesome. It Is far
and high above any former method
of electing senators and It has come
to stay. Ridicule will not kill It.
Jesting cannot check It. Partisan
quibbling cannot hold "back the over
whelming waves.
A POLITICAL DISEASE.
8. A. Lowell of this city, who has
been an avowed advocate of the pop
ular election of United States sena
tors in Oregon for a number of years,
in a communication In the Pendleton
Tribune this mornlr.g, In which he at
tempts to explain T. T. Geer's defeat
for the congressional nomination, says
in the course of his article that
"Statement Xo. 1 Is a political dis
ease which will pass away like the
Itch in childhood."
Since Mr. Lowell has declared pub
licly that he has two ambitions In
life, to-wlt: To be United States sen
ator and governor of Oregon, his dec
laration this morning Is interesting.
As the enforcement of statement
Xo. 1 Is simply the act of electing
the people's choice for senator, which
principle Mr. lyjweii nas aeciarea to iwiston Is to have a fruit cannery
favor In the past, people will wonder with a capacity of 15,000 cans dally.
WISDOM OF PRUSSIA.
In 187$ the kingdom of Prussia be
gan to acquire the railroad systems of
the country and the process was con
tinued until the state now owns and
operates 21,500 miles of railroad.
which Includes all except two or three
ery small lines In the kingdom.
It has paid off, from current reve
nue, one-third of the total cost, con
structed branch lines as required and
made large equipment expenditures
which In this and most other coun
tries would have been capitalized, and
for the last 12 years has earned an
p.verage net revenue of 7.12 per cent
per annum, which has been paid Into
the treasury.
Recent appraisements show that In
any favorable condition of the money
market the state system could be sold
for double its cost to the state, as
may well be believed from the net
revenue which It yields.
By the sale of Its roads the king
dom could pay off its entire national
debt and have hundreds of millions
of money left.
"All our standing timber Is est!
mated to be somewhere between
fourteen hundred and two thousand
billion feet," says Emerson Hough In
"The Slaughter of the Trees," In the
May Everybody's.
it we use tony Diuions per nn
num. we can run 35 to 60 years a
the present rate, provided we do noi
have any waste. If we use one hun
dred billions per annum, our timber
will last 14 to 20 years, on the same
basis, if we use one hundred and
fifty billions per annum In nine to 13
years our timber will all be gone
We have now about 165,000,000 ucr'es
in our national reserves. If we had
three times that much, we should
not have enough.
"If It costs 20 acres a Sunday, or
0 acres a week, or 2080 acres a year
to print one dally newspaper, what
does It cost In acreage to print all the
newspapers in the cities and towns
of America? Add to this the enor
mous editions of our magazines. Add
to this the paper used in books.
The total staggers the imagination
and yet the amount of timber cut for
pulp in the United States annually Is
less than five per cent of what Is
cut for lumber. Last year we made
more than 315,000,000 lead pencils.
A lead pencil is not very largo, but
ttie total number of lead pencils re
quired 7.300,000 cubic feet of cedar.
We have cedar enough to last us just
12 years.
"More than. 100,000 acres of tim
ber, in the whole United States, are
cut over every working day. We use
many times more Umber per capita
than any other nation. We have left
not over 450,000,000 acres bearing
commercial timber. Cast ud In vour
mind some of the small demands of
industry upon this supply. Our rail
roads are said to use one-third of the
industrial timber cut for ties. Sup
pose we could cut one hundred ties
to tne acre; we should require a mil
lion acres a year for ties. We an
nually reap for telegraph and tele
phone poles somewhere between three
and four million acres of land. Our
tanneries two years ago required 1,
aiv.uuu cords of bark. In the same
year we cut 11,858.260 shingles and
J.3iz,7 jaths. Then we had to
timber our mines, and for that we
used 165,000,000 cubic feet, not board
measure, much of which was the best
or nardwood."
TO ENFRANCHISE WOMEN.
There has been Introduced in con
gress a Joint resolution forbidding the
ciisirancnisement on account of sex
of any person qualified to vote.
There is yet another bill now before
the senate aimed at the enfranchise
ment of tho women of this country.
not by states, J)ut by the country as a
wnoie. This latter bill Is In behalf
of those who contend that women al
ready have the right to use the bal
lot under article 1, section 2, of the
constitution of the United States. This
bill is merely to provide for the en
forcement of this right.
PHILOSOPHY.
Two Scotchmen occupied the same
building, one of them living on the
lower floor, and the other up stairs.
One evening the man on the first floor
hearing a commotion In the hall,
went out to see what the trouble was,
and found that his friend had fallen
down stairs. "Did ye fa" doon. Rob?"
he asked.
"Aye," said Rob, "I fell .doon, but
I was comln' doon whether or no."
Everybody's Magazine.
David S. Keener, a veteran of Un
civil war, 65 years of age, died sud
denly and painlessly while riding on
the Interurban from Tacoma to Seat
tle. Xo one on the car knew he wa?
dead until the conductor attempted
to collect his fare. After calling "fare,
please," a couple of times he gave tho
man a shake and found he was dead.
A. A. Baldwin was- killed by being
thrown from His horse while rounding
op a bunch of horses near Bend. Ills
mount ran Into a wire fence throwing
the rider to the ground with such
force as to render him unconscious
and to cause his death a few hours
later.

THE GRANDE RONDE VALLEY.
Ah, me, I know how like a golden
flower
The Grande Rondo valley lies this
August night,
Locked In by dimpled hills where
purple light
Lies wavering. Then at the sunset
hour.
Sink downward, like a rainbow-tinted
shower.
A million colored rays, soft, change
ful, bright.
Later the large moon rises, round
and white,
And then Blue mountain pines against
It tower
onely and dark. A coyote's mourn
ful cry
Sounds from the canyon whence
the river leaps,
A blade of silver underneath the
moon
Like restful seas the yellow wheat
fields He
Dreamless and still. And while
the valley sleeps,
OJiear the lullabies that low winds
croon.

CANNON AND THE WOMEN.
Speaker Cannon says women should
not be permitted to vote, and the
Bukersfleld Cullfornlan says: "If
Cannon Is opposed to woman suf
frage his opposition Is one of the
strongest arguments in favor of It.
If women voted' there might be fewer
Cannons In public life." Precisely,
and Cannon knows that. Joseph Is
not stupid. Ills power In politics
grows out of tariff grafts and other
kinds of corruption. Ho has power
over the weak tools of graft sent to
Washington to legislate for the peo
ple, of course. San Francisco Star.
