Ella Wheeler Wilcox. WTLVT PENDLETON TIAS DONE. In the last five years the little city of Pendleton has made more munici pal improvements and progress than .any other city In the northwest out side of Portland. Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane. No matter how much she may be ritlclspf! for not advertising In the east, and how much she has neglected" to "boom" her, she has a bona fide record for public Improvements and public subscriptions which stands un challenged In the northwest. Here are the big Items In the way of city bonds Issued for Pendleton's improvement: Oricinal sewer bonds $30,000 Levee bonds 67.000 School houses 60,000 Street paving 60,000 City hall 40,000 Macadamizing 20,000 Street Intersections 18,000 Levee extension : . 10,000 Sewer extension 10,000 of the farmers. In hopes that the land of the farming districts may bo- nuidu more productive, that more crops may be grown, that the soil forces may b preserved and that land values may be correspondingly advanced. If you do not believe In the piaetl cal methods advocated by the O. R. & X. company you should attend the meetings anyway. You will be bene fited by association and closer ac quaintance with the O. R. & X. offi cials and the professors of your agri cultural college who will accompany the train. ROSALIA HILL DEMONSTRATE. The little town of Rosalia, Wash- believes In making good what she ad vocates; she believes in showing peo ple that her theories are right and practical and profitable and so she is engaging in the experimental farm business on her own responsibility. With 500-acre and 1000-acre farms all around her, she is going to take 0-aere field and make it productive and demonstrate that It is not neces- ary to own a section or "half section In order to make a living and a good profit. An Item from Rosalia says of her experiment: The Rosalia chamber of commerce has secured a donation of 20 acres of land adjoining town to be used as a demonstration farm, and Is now ar ranging for planting and cultivating it n conformity with the theories of the Washington State college agricultural department. The object Is to prove that divers! fied farming will produce better re turns from the soil than wheat rals Ing. and that the large wheat farms, cut ud Into smaller tracts, would support a much larger population han at present. While there are now many farms of from 500 to 1000 acres and more In Whitman county, local real estate men report that fully 73 per cent of In- miries from incoming homeseeker re for tracts of from 40 to 80 acres On the other hand most of the larger farmers prefer to add to rather than crease their holdings, and fnr this reason a very desirable class of citl zrns are unable to secure nomes nere. The chamber of commerce Intends o demonstrate that practically every arlety of the smaller farm products an be successfully and profitably grown here and thus induce the large andowners to cut up their holdings The state college agricultural depart ment will act as advisory board. They are not peculiar to our city, bu belong generally to the later life o our whole country. ' There are signs of an Increased loss of public spirit and of Increasing fall lire to meet obligations, accompanied by a decline In mutual forbearance .ind the Just recognition of each other's lights. Hut In some of these respects San Francisco has suffered to a pro nounced degree. The Increasing snuggle between capital and labor needs to be composed. It ought to be understood that there is no genera conspiracy of capital against labor, and that there can be none. Those who lead the organizations of aboMo believe that there Is, do them a great Injury, ns well ns the public at large. San Francisco has had an undue share of harm from this source. Every worklngmnn has a right, equal ly with every capitalist, to an open market, a right to the open shop. A government that does not secure thb Is a false pretense and It is not worth what It coits. THE HEART'S RETURN. Total $315,000 Then beside the bonds Issued for public improvements in the past five years, as given above, a long list of heavy public subscriptions have been given for educational, charitable and religious .purposes as will be seen by the following list: Heppner flood sufferers $ 2,500 San Francisco sufferers 5,000 District fair subscription .... 4,200 Pendleton academy fund 10,000 M E. church erected :. 30,000 Presbyterian church repaired. 5,000 Total $56,700 This makes a grand total of $381,700 given by the citizens of Pendleton for municipal improvements, education and charity, an amount which has not been duplicated for these purposes by any other city In the entire north west, except the four largest cities mentioned. So after all Pendleton Is not to be severely criticized for inactivity, sloth fulness, lack of public spirit Pendle ton has had no boom, but she has grown slowly but steadily since she first became a town. She wants no boom, she wants no fictitious progress, but she wants to continue to grow substantially, steadily, permanently as the Increasing business and settlement of the surrounding country demands It. FARMERS ARE INVITED. The farmers of Umatilla county are urged to attend the meetings to be held by the O. R. & N. company at various points In the county on May 1$, on the occasion of the running of the farmers' demonstration train. The meetings will be held In the car rn which the experts will lecture, and practical talks on different farm ing subjects will be given. These lralfla are being run for the benefit TESTING THE RECALL. Senator Heitfeld, mayor of Living ston, Idaho, Is having a little practl ml exnerienee with the recall, which vas authorized in the charter of Lew Iston at his Instance. The recall provision enables a per centage of the voters, by petition, to call upon an official to stand asid until the people take a vote to deter mine whether they want him to con tinue In the office he holds, or pre fer to' substitute another man.' Not many cities of the United States give themselves the privilege of the rrcall, though it is coming into vogue slowly. It Is permitted by the char ter of Los Angeles. Des Moines has recently adopted It. The South Da kota legislature, at Its last session, passed a law authorizing cities above 5000 to employ the, recall, at their option. The state will be interested In the experiment as it is being worked out In the case of Mr. Heltfield. What Pendleton should do to adver tise herself and bring more business here is to appoint a committee to se cure right of way for the electric road from Athena to tv.is city and see that that road does not stop zt .thena for a couple of years to sap that district for Walla Walla. Everything possi ble should be done to encourage the road to build to this city as quickly ai possible. .And it should not stop here, but should be rushed on to the government Irrigation project, Hermls- tcr Umatilla and Echo to bring those points within a few minutes of Pendle tcn, the county seat and trading center. THE MIRACLE OF 'FRISCO. Mayor Edward R. Taylor of San Francisco, says of the miracle wrought in the rebuilding of that city: The plain story of restoration since the fire seems like a fairy tale. In the period of nearly two years the building operations filed exceed $90,- 000,000. In the case of almost every building the cost exceeds the original estimate. So we may safely assume that the buildings erected since the fire have cost about $100,000,000. As near as can be ascertained, all but $4,000,000 of this vast sum Is local money. San Francisco can thus point to a great commercial success and to many civil successes, rn spite of her troubles and disasters. If she has not yet had all the suc cesses that we hoped she would have. It Is well to recognize this and to re alize what the causes have been. When darkened hours come crowd Ing fast, A thought and all the dark li past! For I am back a boy again, Knee-deep In heading barley In t Mendocino glen. I can not ever be so sad Cut one thing still will make me glad That hid spring In the Sulsun hills: My heart keeps going back to it thro' all the earthly Ills. How often when the brood of care Would hold me In a hopeless snare My soul springs winged and away, Remembering that wild duck's nest above Benlcia bay! Or I night finds me toiling again on the greening when still, am back hill, A shepherd boy at set of sun, Folding his happy sheep and knowing all his tasks are done.

Poisons, humors and germs from various sources often get Into the blood, and then this great lifc-streara becomes a source of infection ana disease, instead of a nourishing, health-sustaining fluid. Heredity is likewise an important factor, regulating the quality of the blood. Some persons are born with tainted blood from diseased ancestry, and Scrofula in one of its numerous forms is sure to crop out seme time in life. Not only poisons in the blood are responsible for disease, but when the circulation is run down and becomes poor and weak in quality, then we see the effect in a general bad condition of health, such as weakness, sallow complexions, toils, and various 6lcin eruptions. All blood troubles require a tonic and blood purifier, and none otuer equals a. s. a. it goes aown io me very foundation of the trouble, and removes every particle of the poison or impurity from the blood. And not only does 8. S. S. antidote the poisons, humors and germs, but it possesses health-giving, tonic properties, which build up and strengthen weak, impov erished blood, and fortifies the system against disease. S. S. S. permanently cures Rheumatism, Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers. Scrofula, Eczema, Tetter, and all other skin diseases and disorders. Book ea the blood and any medical advice free. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, CA. Hotel St. fleorge GEORGE DARVKAU, Proprietor, PURELY VEGETABLE mm1- WHO WILL UK THE NEXT PHKSIDEXT OF THE SENATE? So certain is Ben Selling's election to the state senate thought that he is al ready being considered as the presi dent of the senate In the legislative session to be held at Salem next win ter, says the Telegram. Whether Selling can be elected president Is of course a matter for debate at this time, but he would be satisfactory to nearly all the statement No. 1 men lected to the senate. As a rule, a newly elected senator Is not made president, this being an honor that goes to a senator in the second session of his term. Tom Kay. senator from Marlon county, has long ovetod the presidency and would like to fill the chair next winter. He may not step aside for Selling. Senator Bingham, too, has cast longing eyes t the post of presiding officer. Sen tor Beach of Multnomah, would have a number of votes for the place If he would begin a campaign for the presidency. All these, however, while possible contenders, are not taken into consideration by the friends of Selling, who are anxious to see him president. Selling is familiar with the work of the senate, as he wai a member of that body 10 years ago. A KONG OF THE NIGHT.

A stupendous undertaking Is the Owens rivers aqueduct, says a Los An geles Item. By this aqueduct Los An. peles is to secure pure water In suf ficient quantities to supply the city when It has a population of l.OOO.OwO people. To do this an aqueduct has been constructed 217 miles long nnd with a capacity of 400 cubic feet of water per second. Chief Engineer Mulholland states that the work will be completed at the rate of a mile a week. The esti mated cost of the Owens river aque duct will be about $23,000,000. The city of Los Angeles has already auth orized the issuance of bonds amount ing to $24,500,000. The hydro-electric plant at Cotton wood creek, 210 miles from Los Ange les, to cost, with transmission lines, approximately $190,000, Is under con struction and the work is progressing satisfactorily. WOII.D HELP DIG CANAL. Hermann Llnde, who, some years ago, was well Known in m. LiOuis as in art connoisseur and a Shakespear ean recltatlonlst. close rriena or me late Charles Parsons and others Inter ested In fine art, has turned his gen ius and abilities to other things, says a wash ngtrm aisnaicn. a leuer re ceived from him by Representative Bartholdt today Is written on a letter head of the Rocky Mountain Tunnel In and Mining company. Hermann Linde, president. Mr. Llnde claims to have a tunnel ing machine which would dig tne Panama canal quicker than any other device ever Invented. The only trou ble is, the machine has never been built, and he can not get the govern ment or Colonel L. Goethals to give It trial until he has built the machine and shipped it at his own expense to the canal zone. In his letter today. Mr. Llnde stated that if he had the machine built there was millions or dollars worth of work In sight In the Rocky mountains, hence there would be no necessity for going to the Pan ama country to try It out. There's the rub if he only had a machine built. A MOTHER Is an ordeal which all women approach with indescribable fear, for nothing compares with the pain and horror of child-birth. The thought of the suffering and danger in store for her, robs the expectant mother of all pleasant anticipations of the coming event, and casts over her a shadow of gloom which cannot bo shaken off. Thousands of women have found that the use of Mother's Friend during pregnancy robs confinement of all pain and danger, and insures safety to life of mother and child. This scientific liniment is a god-send to all women at the time of their most critical trial. Not only does Mother's Friend carry women safely through the perils of child-birth, but its use gently prepares the system for the coming event, prevents "morning sickness," and other (lis- ' $l.oo per bottle.
