Willamette valley towns have follow
ed suit. .
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.

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.

ENTIRE FOOT A SOLID SORE.
Some time ago I bad a sore
to come on my foot, and noth
ing I uiod would do it any wood.
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

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.

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.

Headaches
are brain signals that your system is in some way disorganized and
unless the cause of the trouble is removed they will become more
and more frequent, and gradually increase both in duration and
intensity. The sympathetic nerves are weakened by the repeated
attacks, and the malady finds an easy lodgment whenever the
bodily and mental conditions favor its return.
On the first sign of headache you should at once take
