Do you have any Idea how much Pendleton money has been Invested outside of this city and county, in Alberta, Texas, Portland, Spokane, Seattle, St, Johns and other points, In the past three years? Stop and count on your fingers the bank accounts which hare been re duced in these outside Investments, and you will be surprised that Pendleton has done as well as she has under the circumstances. If all this money had been Invest ed In new enterprises which would employ labor in this city, Pendleton would now be twice as large and rich &3 she is. But people who have made fortunes here have Invested else. where, thus sapping the strength of the city and building up other places at Pendleton's expense. Talk about Harriman "milking" Oregon to get funds for Investment in eastern roads. Pendleton has been "Milked" to a great extent and is still the best town in the state outside of Portland. If she had all the money she has made for capitalists she would be a city of 15.000 population em ploying several thousand laborers -with enormous payrolls. PENDLETON'S CHAMPION. The East Oregonian takes special pride In mentioning the record made by Ora Jay, the star athlete of the Pendleton high school team who twice in succession has wrested the indl v'dual championship in the Whitman interacholastlc field meet from the biggest schools In the northwest and who has more trophies than any other individual high school athlete in the. northwest. Jay Is a Pendleton boy, having been reared from babyhood In this city. His training has been received in Pendleton, his victories have been won for Pendleton and Pendleton is proud of him. With excellent support from other members of the Pendleton high school Uam, Jay has been Instrumental in placing this city' at the very head of the list in the athletic column and while yet a boy, gives promise of .making more than a state-wide rep utation and field athlete. And while Jay and the other mem bers of the team have developed in athletics, they have not neglected the literary phases of their education. The boys are as strong in mental de velopment as in physical and make a fine appearance anywhere, in any performance. and mailed In Umatilla county, rather than by some foreign concern In Port land or San Franotsco. The lists of names of "anxious in qulrers" sent out weekly by the Port land Commercial club could be used for the distribution of the printed matter and In this way the advertls Ing could be placed directly In the hands of the people who have Inqulr ed about Oregon and who will come here upon a proper presentation of the fact. This paid booster or secretary could spend his time la collecting attrac tlve statistics, writing letters and an. fwcring Inquiries and in mailing out l-rinted matter. lie could reach the actual homeseekers and by personal solicitation and direct arguments could succeed In bringing many ex cellent citizens to the county. This would be a much better plan than to pay some magazine all the advertising fund for an advertise ment and write up which would reach but a limited number of people, many of whom would not be interested in the advertisement. With unlimited resources to draw upon for descriptive and statistical matter and with this list of anxious inquirers in the east to send the printed matter to, there is no reason why a first-class active secretary, giving all his time to the work, should not fill up the vacant places In this county with enterprising peo ple in a couple of years. Advertising Is a business and must be conducted on business principles. UNFAIR TO CAKE. The Oregon Dally Journal, which boasts of being a fair and high-class Journal, Is beginning a crusade of misrepresentation against H. M. Cake, republican candidate for the United States senate. The Journal prints something every day about the alleged dlsrup tion of Mr. Cake's forces, the revolt of the Fulton people from the Cake camp, the alleged weakening of Mr. Cake on statement No. 1, and other absolutely unfounded matters in Mr. Cake's campaign. In view of the fact that Mr. Cake has made a clean, fair and honest campaign .standing upon principle entirely and leaving mud slinging and partisan prejudice and bitterness out of the game, the action of the Jour nal is surprising.' Mr. Cake deserves fair treatment at the hands of the Journal, although he may be a republican. He has won a creditable fight before the people of Oregon and the Journal is not making any votes for Governor Chamberlain by printing false state ments concerning Mr. Cake. There is no sign anywhere in Ore gon that the Fulton people are going to assist in the election of Governor Chamberlain who went out of his way to engage with Heney In the fight on'Senator Fulton. Mr. Cake has not. wavered In his advocacy of statement No. 1, and he will not waver. He made the fight on that principle and won one of the nost noteworthy victories in the po- itlcal history of the state, defeating one of the very strongest men In his party In the senatorial race. Mr. Cake Is a strong, forcible, hon est. clean candidate, a first-class citizen. public-spirited, active, alert and high-minded, and will be an hon or to Oregon in the United States senate. And being a republican, will be in position to take an active part the affairs of government, Instead of being an obstructionist and an ob cctor to every move made for the ex cutlon of the Roosevelt policies. gates doea not admit a doubt. This also will be well, for Bryan certainly is the best representative of the dem ocrats of Oregon, as to the west in general. Yet he cannot get the electoral votes of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut unless he cn make good through" gains in the groat mid dle west. This, however, need not be deemed an Impossibility. The great city of Chicago Is a mighty force In Presidential elections, and an uncer tain one. GRASS. The rose Is praised for Its beaming face, The lily for saintly whiteness; We love this bloom for Its languid grace, And that for Its airy lightness. a We say of the oak, "How grand of girth!" Of the willow we eay, "How slen der!" And yet to the soft grass, clothing earth, How slight is the praise we render. But the grass knows well In her secret heart How we love her cool, green rai ment; So she plays in silence her lonely part, And cares not at all for payment. Each year her buttercups nod and drowse, With sun and dew brimming over; Each year she pleases the greedy cow With oceans of honeyed clover. Each year on the earth's wide breast she waves From spring until stern November; And then she remembers so many graves That no one else will remember. And while she serves us with gladness mute In return for such sweet dealings, We tread her carelessly under foot. Yet we never wound her feelings. Edgar Fawcett. HOW TO SPEND THE MONEY. If the real estate men and proper ty owners of Umatilla county decide to raise an advertising fund, care should be exercised in spending it to get most satisfactory returns. It seems that the logical way to ad vertise Pendleton and Umatilla coun ty would be to raise a sufficient fund to employ a first-class booster for a year, and give him a printing fund with which to print and mall, from Pendleton, all kinds of leaflet, pho tographs, folders, pamphlets and other borne printed matter descriptive or the city and county. Am the money is to be raised in Pendleton and Umatilla county the advertising matter should be printed TAFT AND BRYAN. The Sunday Oregonian publishes the following comprehensive editorial on the presidential situation as that paper sees it: That Taft and Bryan will be the candidates of their respective parties Is now as certain as any forecast ever can be. Next best representative oi the tendencies and purposes of the Roosevelt administration next best to Roosevelt himself Is Taft; though it is not doubted that Hughes would be a strong man devoted in the main to the Bame purposes, and perhaps lr. many localities more, acceptable than Taft. We believe Hughes would be surer to win In Ohio and Illinois than Taft, and quite as sure to win In New York. But Taft, manifestly, is gathering up the strength for the convention. In the Pacific states he will be ex ceptionally strong, because of his comprehensive knowledge of our com mercial and naval needs in the Pa cific. This particular subject is to be the controllng and compelling one in those national and international af fairs that have relation to American Irterests centering in and upon the Pacific ocean. Hence it la that Oregon probably will deem it best to send to the re publican convention delegate earnest In support of Mr. Taft. That Mr. Eryan will have the democratic dele- THE FLOWER MOST PREFERRED First on the list I would name the peony, says Eben E. Rexford In Out ing. This flower is simply magnifi cent in color and form; it blooms early and with wonderful profusion when well cared for and has the unusual merit of Improving with age. The older a plant gets the larger It grows to be and the more flowers It will give. I know plants that were set out 50 years ago. Some of them are six feet across. On one of them counted more than 200 expanded flowers last season,- and buds In all stages of development gave promise of flowers for a month to come. Every garden ought to Include a collection of the best varieties of this grand plant Its colors range from pure white to palest rose, carmine dark crimson and dull, rich reds. To grow it well give It a rather heavy soil, made very rich with old, well rotted cow manure if posible set the tubers at least four Inches below the surface and after that disturb them as little as possible. ino piant or wnicn i nave any knowledge is so impatient over Inter ference with its roots. Disturb them slightly this season and you will not be likely to get any flowers next sea son. The peony is entirely hardy any where In the north. ALL THE WORLD IN DELAWARE. Eleven New York blocks have density of 1200 per acre, which means that If the whole of little Delaware were similarly crowded, it could con tain the entire population of the world, white, black, yellow and red. Of course such congestion Induce bestial crowding In single rooms. The results of a special Investigation of the family crowding In the Italian quarters were shown by statistics, photographs and diagrams. ji ine ramines examined, 18 per cent occupied one room, 34.4 per cent occupied only two rooms, showing a condition much worse than the aver age on the east side, where a family consists of seven persons llvlnir In three rooms, three members being at home, two at school and two at work. Among these Italians less than three out of every 100 families had five rooms, and yet, as If one and two rooms for a family were overabund ant, about one-third of the fnmiiipa had one lodger, 41 per cent two lodg ers, 16.5 per cent three Imlirora nnri 3.1 per cent four todgers. Thus, vomiting iwo cnuuren under 12 as equivalent to one adult, one-sixth of tne rooms In these Italian nnnrfor were found to be housing as many as four adults each. Charities and Commons. WHAT JOAQUIN MILLER LIKED. Joaquin Miller, the- poet of the Sierras, Is something of a recluse and rarely comes Into San Francisco, but when he does he Is made a ood deal of a lion. On his last visit he was one of the guests at a rather formal dinner at a friend's house, where he stayed over night. His hostess had known the poet since her childhood so she felt privileged next morning to discourse to him of the beauties of the Parisian gown she had worn the night before beauties which seemed to have escaped his observation. Mr. Miller listened to ail that she had to say and remained silent. But didn't you really like the dress?" pleaded the lady. "Well," replied the poet, "I did like part of it well enough." The lady brightened. "Indeed?" she said. "What part?" "The part you had on." answered the poet, and that ended the discus sion. Llpplncott'a.

MADE FROM sii. kuu id Ami nuKjaD A SAFE AID) RELIABLE DLOOD PUIUFIEH In the time of our forefathers the forest and fields were the only labor atories from which they could procure their medicines. They starched out and compounded the different roots, herbs and barks into remedies, many oi which have been handed down to succeeding generations, and continuously used with satisfactory results. Among the very best of these old time prep arations is S. S. S., a medicine made entirely from roots, herbs and barks, in such combination as to make it the greatest of all blood purifiers. This absolute vegetable purity of S. S. S. makes it the one medicine that may be nsed without fear I harmful results in any way. Most Mood medicines on the market contain mercury, potash, or some other strong mineral. These act with bad effect on the system, npsettinr the stomach, interfering with the digestion, affecting the bowels, and when used for a prolonged period of time often cause salivation. No such effects ever result from the use of S. S. S., and it may be taken by children as safely as by older people. For Rheumatism, Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers, Malaria, Scrofula, Skin Diseases, and all other troubles caused bv impure or poisoned blood. 8. 8. 8. Is a per .feet remedy. It goes down into the circulation and removes all poisons, Impurities, humors or unhealthy matter, and makes the blood pure and rich. It eliminates every particle of the taint of inherited blood trouble, purifies and strengthens the weak, deteriorated blood, and establishes the foundation for good health. S. S. S. is Nature's Blood Purifier, and its many years of successful service, with a steadily increasing demand for It, Is the best evi dence of its value in all blood troubles.

We often attempt to regulate the' lives of our friends through Imposing our own wills upon tnem. xnn we do under the Impression that our con ception of Truth Is superior to theirs and that we see more clearly than they do. This Is really but a form of selfishness, and binds all who In dulge In it, both the strong and the week. Of course there is a point where a kind and friendly desire to help an other may be productive of good. But when the desire to help another In volves the subjugation of his , spirit and understanding, then that desire becomes a selfish one. For you cannot force a knowledge . of the truth upon anyone. Only love and patience and living the truth yourself can bring It to the consciousness of your friends, William . Towne In May Nautilus. To Pay Firemen. The city of Centraila is to have a fire apparatus and a paid fire de partment. Heretofore the town ha depended on a volunteer fire depart ment and bucket bgrlgade. Prof. A. L. Melander, entomologist of the state college, will spend the summer 'on Orcas Island Investigating a new apple pest which has recently appeared there. Every woman covets a shapely, pretty figure, and many of them deplore the loss of their girlish forms after marriage. The bearing of children is often destructive to the mother's shapeliness. All of this can be avoided. however, by the use of Mother's Friend before baby comes, as this great liniment always prepares the body for the strain upon it, and preserves the symmetry of her form. Mother's Friend overcomes all the danger of child-birth, and carries the expectant mother safely through thi3 critical period without pain. It is woman's greatest blessing.
