The Willamette valley towns have the advantage over Pendleton In one particular: The country Immediately surrounding those towns will support a dense population on small tracts of land while In the vicinity of Pendle ton Is wheat land which must he owned in large tracts to be made profitable. Pendleton has advertised and will advertise Umatilla county knowing that most of the new settlers will lo cate at a Jistrincc from this city owing to the peculiar conditions of the soil adjacent to the city as stated. The irrigated sections of I'matilla county, east, west and north and the foothill sections near Pilot Rock will support a dense population in time, but the country around the city of Fendleton will perhaps always be sparsely settled simply because it is non-Irrigable wheat land. With all these conditions it seems that Pendleton has done remarkably well. She set the pace for Palem and Kugene. So her record stands unchallenged. TOE PARTY SENTIMENT. There are those who honestly and sincerely believe that political parties are necessary to good government They believe that divisions among the people on imaginary lines are abso lutely necessary to preserve the In tegrity of the government and to keep the wheels moving. The East Oregonlan just as honest ly believes that the party spirit, the spirit of rivalry which necessarily leads to the spirit of revenge, Is ab solutely wrong in government and that better government can be enjoy ed without strong party alignment. The essence of the party spirit Is centered In the personal ambitions of party leaders. Men formulate party platforms In the hope that it will trlng them and their co-workers a fol lowing which will carry' them into of fice. Bitterness is engendered In the party conflicts, corruption follows party victory, no matter which party wins, and the wheels of government are absolutely blocked while the party Is dividing the spoils and paying party debts. If the people were encouraged to think for themselves regardless of party leaders and party platforms. If they were encouraged to study the problems of government and make lfgislation a matter of personal in terest Instead of delegating all the power and thought to leaders, govern ment could be conducted upon higher lines than It Is where partisan bitter ness enters Into every law enacted and where each party victory means an undoing of everything done by the other party. Oregon Is doing much to eliminate partisan bitterness and conflict She Is going ahead on broad lines In which the individual voter is an active unit In the government. Better laws will follow this plan; Industries will be developed, the state will enjoy a free dom from the thraldom of partisan prejudice and a model government found'-d upon justice and wisdom and state pride will surely follow this pro gressive tendency. BRYAN'S WANING STRENGTH. There is evidence on every hand that Bryan Is losing strength. He Is not the idol that he was supposed to be, with the democracy. He Is not going to slide Into the presidential nomination without opposition. In fact. It Is now doubtful If he will be able to secure the nomination, at all. New Tork and Michigan democrats have refused to instruct for him. Illinois will perhaps instruct against him or remain unlnstructed. The delegations upon which he depended for ready Instructions have refused to be hypnotized. They will go Into the Denver convention with hands free to select any candidate that may seem to be a winner. And In the meantime Governor Johnson of Minnesota, Is gaining strength. He Is now in the fight to stay. He was not to be bluffed off with the charge that he Is an Inter lopcr. His friends are not to be si lenced by the rattling thunder of the Bryan tornado. The democratic nomination', In stead of being certain for Bryan as seemed a few weeks ago, is now ex tremely uncertain with Bryan's old- time strength on the wane. If Bryan should get the nomination It is not certain that he could now beat Taft, should Taft be nominated. Senti ment has changed throughout the country In the past week. No body has yet given any reasons for Bryan's waning strength. Only a short time ago he seemed to be im pregnable In his position. He seemed to be stronger with the people than ever. But the refusal of New York to Instruct for him, caused democrats to sit up and take notice. Then the refusal of Michigan to pledge her del- gates for Bryan came like a thun der clap from a clear sky and now anything terrible is expected. Simultaneously an American Is out with a scheme to reform the calendar the plan has for Its purpose the. sim plification of time compulation. It is proposed to consider New Your' day and Leap Year day, when tiny occur, as apart, not Included In any month. That leaves 364 days, exactly f.2 weeks. By lengthening, February, June and M'Ptemher, and shortening January,, July, August and October, he days n the month would run 30, 30, 31, 30, 30, 31, 30, 30, 31, 30, 30, 31. Every quarter would be of the same length, Just 13 weeks; national holidays would always be the same day of the week and the calendar for tiny year would do for all the other years. Of the two plans, the Englishman's has the more merit. When one re members the morning daylight hours spent in bed and the prevalent "wide awakeness" for many hours after the sun goes down, there seems to be a crying demand for a more equitable division of daylight and dark. But it Is to be remembered that the large majority of the flock of night-hawks never look at the clock anyway. The people of Umatilla county are to be congratulated upon giving Charles A. Barrett such a handsome vote for renomlnatlon as a candidate for the legislature. Mr. Barrett made it good record two years ago and has taken advanced ground on the sena torial election. He deserved the vote which he received last Friday and ap preciates the confidence which the people have reposed in him. BULKY FOR GOVERNOR. PENDLETON'S RECORD. The criticism of Tom Richardson on the inactivity of Pendleton Is not wholly justified In view of Pendle ton's record. Pendleton may not have raised as large advertising funds as some of the Willamette valley towns, but Pendleton has done other things which have given her more far reaching advertising than magazine advertising. The city of Pendleton, although not half as old as Salem and but little more than half as old aB Eugene, Corvallls and Grant's Pass, was the first town In the state outside of Port land to spend money for street pav ing. While all the Willamette valley towns were sleeping the sleep of slothful inactivity up to a couple of years ago, the city of Pendleton was laying street paving, building school houses and business blocks and now that Pendleton Is not engaging in a costly advertising boom she is criti cised. Pendleton has done her shave of boosting. The 11 blocks of street paving on her two main streets have called attention to the city In a practi cal manner and since Pendleton in augurated the progressive move the J. W. Bailey, the irrepressible food and dairy commissioner of Oregon, the man who has done more to purify what the people of Oregon eat than any other man in the state, is a logi cal candidate for governor two years from now, says the Portland Oregon lan. Mr. Bailey has been nn earnest and devoted official, giving his nights and days to the duties of his unique of flee and Is in line, It is ."aid, for a higher office. In the campaign before the pri maries Mr. Bailey spent less than $30 I: Is said In campaign expenses and yet has a lead of over 15,000 votes over Dr. Reld, his only opponent. That he has vote-getting proclivities Is evidenced from this result. And that he would make a whirlwind race for governor Is believed by the thousands of friends in the state who have watched his career in his present position. It would be a difficult matter to fill Mr. Bailey's place in the office of food ;:n l dairy commissioner as well as he has filled it. MANY VSES FOR ORE GON WHITE FIR SAVING THE DAYLIGHT. A bill that sounds like a Joke has passed the British house of commons. It Is known as the "daylight-saving" bill and provides that the hands of England's clocks be turned backward 80 minutes during the summer time. The idea is not so foolish as it sounds; England Is so far north that ll Is daylight in midsummer at 3 a. m.; the. plan is that people should get up and begin work 80 minutes earlier and have five or six hours of daylight left for out-of-doors enjoyment. There Is health In the plan also endless confusion with railroad time tables and other arrangements. Pri vate employers might ' try it. In Butte setting the clock back an hour or more would for most men leave some hours of afternoon daylight. On the Pacific coast, I especially In Oregon and California, there Is an Immense amount of white fir (Abies concolor) timber now going to waste for lack of some commercially profit able means of disposing of it. At present it is very little used for lum ber, and since it Is not cut to any ex tent its proportion in the forest tends to Increase at the expense of other and more valuable trees. Experiments conducted at the for est service laboratory at Washington show that this wood Is admirably adapted for the production of paper pulp by the sulphite process. The wood is found to yield very readily to the action of the sulphite liquor used, which is of the usual commercial strength, viz., about four per cent total sulphur dioxide, one per cent combined and three per cent availa ble. The length of treatment was varied in the different tests from elgh; to 10 hours and the steam pressures correspond to maximum temperatures of 153 to 160 decrees C. The pulp produced in these experi ments is from nearly white to light brown in color, according to the vari ations in the method of cooking, and by selecting the prier conditions of treatment it would be readily possible to produce a grade of fiber which could be used in many kinds of paper without the least bleaching. If, how ever, it is desired to employ the fiber for white book or writing papers It could be readily bleached to the good white color. Results of laboratory tests show that the bleach required to bring the fiber up to the usual color for bleached sulphite spruce fiber is from 13 to 23 per cent to the weight of un bleached fiber, that is, assuming the bleaching powder to contain 35 per cent available chlorine. Sulphite spruce fiber now on the market re quires from 175 to 500 pounds of 35 per cent bleach per ton of product or from 9 to 21 per cent of the unbleach ed fiber. It is seen, therefore, that so far as bleaching is concerned, the pulp made from white fir Is just as good as that made from spruce. The yields obtained in these experi ments ranged from 43 to 49 per cent on the bone dry basis. This Is exclu sive of screenings which In no case exceed 1 1-4 per cent of the dry wood used. From careful observation of the methods employed In determin ing the yields It seems probable that these figures will be Increased slight ly when larger quantities of wood are used, and It Is believed that In the matter of yield the fir wood Is fully equal to spruce. The fiber from these cooks Is In most cases light colored and some what lustrous and the sheets formed from it without any beating are re markably tough and strong. Micro scopic examination and measurements show that the fibers are of very re markable length, being from one-half to two-thirds as long again as the commercial sulphite spruce fiber. It is believed from the results that., so far ns the product Is concerned, the manufacture of fiber from white fir would be a commercial success and ;hnt the fiber produced would find Its createst usefulness In the production of manllas, where great strength Is re quired and In tissues which need very lonr fibers. It seems probable, also, that It would make very good news paper, for which purpose Its naturally light color would particularly adapt It. 1,1 sn SEPT OPEN BY BAD BLOOD Whenever a sore refuses to heal, it is because of bad blood. If the place existed simply because the flesh was diseased at that particular spot, it would be an easy matter to apply some remedy directly to the '.ilecr that would kill the germ; or the diseased flesh might be removed 'jy a surgical operation and a cure effected. But the very fact that old sores resist every form of local or external treatment, and even cturn after being cut away, shows that back of them is a morbid cause vhich must be removed before a cure can result. The impurities in the blood which keep old sores open, come from liferent causes. A long spell of debilitating sickness, which breeds Jisease germs in the system, is a common source. These morbid impurities get into the circulation, and the blood becomes a polluted; infectious fluid, which, instead of nourishing the fibres and tissues of :he flesh, irritates and ulcerates ;heni, and continually discharges its impurities into the open sore, and prevents the place from heal ing. Another cause for bad blood is the retention in the system of ilie refuse and waste matters of the body, o Those members whose July it is to carry off the useless .iccumuhiior.s, become dull and lugish in their action and leave 'heir work imperfectly done, and his fermenting matter is absorbed r.!o the circulation. The weaken ing or polluting of this vital fluid nay als j come from the results of ;ome constitutional di;-e?.se, while persons who are born with an 'lereuitary bljod taint are very apt .obeauiicicd wiiii sores and ulcers.

It continued to grow worse and a art deopor into tho surround ing fl?sh, until the entire foot was a solid sore, and gave me great deal of worry and trouble. I tried almost every thing I heard of, but got no benefit until I commenoed 3. 8. S. In a short time after commanclnir this remedy I be gan to improve, and I contin ued to use it until it drove the poison from my blood, and completely cured this obsti nate sore. I recommend it most highly as a remedy for sores and ulcers. DAVID C. MILLER. 243 W. 49th St., New York, N. Y. Local or external applications an not cure an &ld sore, because they do not reach the blood. Such ,'cat;:.ent may reduce l". animation, lessen the pain and discharge, inJ tend to keep the place clean, and for this reason should be used, but it can do no real good toward effecting a permanent cure. b. S. S. crres sores and ulcers by purifying the blood. It. removes very impurity r.r..1 Lir.t circulation, and completely docs iway wi:h the cause. When S. S. S. has cleansed the blood, the sore begins to heal, and it is not a surface cure, but the healing process begins at the bottom; soon the pain and in flammation leave, the discharge ceases, and the place fills in with firm, healthy flesh.

What Makes a Bank Strong ? In Judging a bank, always remember that It Is the personnel of the stockholders, alrectors and offi cers that are behind the Instltut'on which give con fidence to the depositor that hU funds are safe. The Pendleton Savings Bank Is essentially a "Home" Institution. Its stockhold ers are well known Umatilla county and Oregon citizens. Its constant growth Is the result of care ful and conservative management, with the most liberal treatment for all deserving enterprise. Capital and Surplus $250,000.00 W. J. Furnish R. T.
