And little you thought when you declared The thought that was In your mind Though In It were bitterness un- spared Or it were in measures kind But little you thought the words you spoke Should travel the whole day ' through And add to the burden, or lift the yoke, Yet words have their work to do. The word that you spoke was blent and wrought In all that his hand achieved; It tinctured the trend of his in- most thought, It helped him, or blessed, or grieved; It followed him far on the road he went, It tried or it thrilled his soul, It straightened his shoulders, or made them bent, ' It barred.or brought near, his goal. v W. D. Nesblt. LA FOLLETTE'S TARIFF PLANS. The announcement of Senator Rob ert La Follette that he will make a tariff speech before the end of the present session of congress, will be re ceived with Joy by hundreds of thous ands of republicans throughout the country. The plan of Senator La Follette is to take away the burdensome features and the possibilities of corruption of the present tariff system, a plan which will meet with the approval of every . patriot. He would not destroy the tariff system, but he would cleanse it and take it out of politics. He would make it dimply a source of revenue for the government, and would make It Impossible to use it as a political whip in congress. Such a plan is feasible and with the h.'lp of the sincere and honest tariff reformers in congress, can be execut ed. The country is weary of the abuses of the tariff, weary of the cor ruption practiced through it and will welcome a clean, fair, moderate tariff for the support of the government. The trusts and combinations which have been fostered largely by means of the high tariff, oppress republicans as well as democratic consumers and every sincere and patriotic citizen, no matter what his politics, will welcome the scheme of Senator La Follette, by which the sting of the tariff may be removed and by which Its highest ben efits may still continue to bless the country. Everybody Is a tariff reformer to this extent. But even this moderate reform will not come through the Hirh tariff advocates. The reformers must combine and start the movement. La Follette !s the logical leader of the movement. ILVRRIMAVS $100,000,000. The New York dispatches of yes terday announce that Harrlman Is se curing a loan of $100,000,000, or Is eelllng Union Pacific bonds to the amount of 1100.000,000 for the pur pose of vigorously prosecuting the vast Improvements at various points on the ytem, east and west. This means that all the great work planned before the financial flurry and practically abandoned at that time on account of the money strin gency, will be resumed with vigor and pushed to completion. It means that Umatilla county will enjoy the expenditure of a portion of that $100,000,000. The new rails now being laid from Huron to Kamela and the extensive repair to the Blue mountain grade are ft portion of the cheme of Harrlman Improvements. The gravel trains running out of La Grande, the bridge crews at work on Eurnt river and elsewhere In eastern Oregon are all drawing on that yast fund and so the country In general will be directly benefited by this masterful movement of Harrlman. Every state penetrated by the Union Pacific or any of Its subsidiary linos, will receive direct benefits from Harrlman's b'ig bonding scheme. Every county and city touched by any of tho H.uriman !!no will feel the ln-f.ui-noe of this Harrlman coin and will t.e stimulated by Its expenditure. It is H.iniiiKin's ambition to have the l.trgest and most complete system of railroads In the history of the world, and ho Is bending every energy to that end. As his ambition Is realized every part of the country penetrated by his roads will feel the thrill of his energetic development. THE BOOSTER BANQUET. The booster banquet, which has been arranged for Thursday evening, May ;. In this city. Is the climax of a brief period of agitation and boosting which has already borne fruits. The only solitary thing lacking In Pendleton to complete her record as a live, progressive city. Is an occasion al banquet pr gathering of this kind. As far as the business features are concerned, Pendleton Commercial as sociation takes care of those In a prompt and vigorous manner, but there has been too little sociability. too little of the banqueting spirit. In the past. , This movement for the promotion of the Interests of Pendleton and Umatilla county should be undertaken vigorously and nothing can give it more impetus and spirit than a first class social gathering like that prom ised for Thursday evening. Let every section of the county be represented. Let us start off the booster campaign with a vim and In the proper spirit. The Pendleton spirit Is here. It has many good per formances to Its credit It Is good for many more. REPUBLICAN HARMONY. The establishment of Fulton head quarters In Portland and the beginning of an active campaign by Senator Ful ton for the election of H. M. Cake to the senate, sweeps away the last straw of the gossip-mongers who have been talking about republican disruption. The party In Oregon is more solidly and harmoniously boifnd together than for years. Less Is heard of factions to day than ever before. In fact, there are no factions. Every element In the party Is working for party success and success at the polls will crown this harmonious work. There were those of the party who believed that the primary law would destroy party organization; there were those who openly declared that plat forms, principles, party Ideals could not hold men together 'under the pri mary law. Such Is not the case. It Is possible to have a strong party organization; under the primary law. It is possible to maintain a solid front toward the enemy and win victory after victory through the popular vote. But the way to win these victories is to keep the platform up to date; make progress; keep clean and strong men in office; heed the demands of the people and see that the republican party keeps pace with the progress of the political movements of the age. And then lastly, let every republican support every republican candidate. Don't be disgruntled; don't be a sore head; don't let the enemy deceive . . lUki In tVlft you. Slake a ciean open ugui primaries for good 'men and then sup port the party nominees. By this method Oregon will con tinue to be solidly republican In every election and yet have the direct pri mary law, statement No. 1 and other reform measures demanded by tne people. Th manly action of Senator Fulton in establishing headquarters for the advancement of H. M. Cake's candida cy Is one of the highest examples of rnrtlsan honor and devotion to prin ciples that could be cited and It should Inspire republicans everywhere to ao likewise. Oregon Is a republican state as long a-, republicans vote for republican principles and candidates. t nn little switch of a peach tree on the Irrigated lands of the west end of the county yielded $ worm oi peaehes last year, at three years of age, how hany dollars would 1000 trees yield? A bonanza wheat farm will not equal, this Income. Think of It. The raw land Is now ready for the tries. One year's crop will pay for the land. Umatilla county today boasts of about 200,000 acres of wheat stand ing over a foot high and "thick as the hair on a dog's back." THE WEST WINS. "Business has steadily Increased since the first of the year," snys C. M. Levy, third vlco president of the Northern Taclflc, "and thero has been 0 a steady growth of traffic In tho north west since the first of tho year," says the Spokane Chronicle. Coupled with that assertion comes the statement that the Northern Paci fic will spend $1,600,000 during the next 60 days for the purchase of freight cars, In anticipation of Increas ed business. Western railroads are making bigger and faster gains In traffic and In net earnings than are the eastern roads. The financial solidity of the great west has been clearly demonstrated, for it was In the west that the effects of the panic were last and least felt, and It Is the west that Is most rapidly recovering from the subsequent busi ness depression. Umatilla county strawberries will be ripe this week 10 days earlier than anywhere else In the Inland empire. This Is something to tell the newcomers. Have you a plate at the booster banquet? It not, why not? A CITY OF A MILLION HENS, Some 50 miles north of San Fran cisco, the town of Petaluma lies on a moor between low mountains. In the nortton of Sonoma county tributary to the town, over 120.000,000 eggs were produced In 1907. more than 10,000.000 dozen. At least 75 per cent of the people of the country raise poultry. It Is not an occupation relegated to the grand mothers. It is a man's occupation. In Petaluma men are chicken raisers as they are elsewhere bankers, mer chants or lawyers. One of the hatching plants has a capacity of 100,000. That Is to suy, it can. and does, when the season's demands are heavy, turn out 100,000 young chickens every three weeks. They go east to Kansas City, south in to Old Mexico, north into British Co lumbia. Duck's eggs are also hatched out In wholesale lots In Incubators In this region. The Chinese are particu larly fond of ducks when they have reached a certain age. I think It is usually about nine weeks. Then the blood which was in the quills has reached the body and they can be plucked without bleeding. One duck raiser In the Petaluma region sold last year 60,000 ducks, averaging more than W each. He sold 16,000 ducks at the nine weeks' period for $16,000 to Chinamen alone who came to his depot In San Fran cisco with their dollars and their huge, swaying shoulder baskets and took the ducks away,, without waiting for delivery.

In one small tract on the slope of Mount Silay in Northern Negros, embracing 60 square miles, months were spent in ascertaining the worth of the available supply; no trees smaller than 20 Inches in diameter were taken Into consideration. Thlr tly per cent was then deducted foi possible defects and the remaining supply at market rates Is worth $11, 000,000. Ninety per cent of the tim ber in that stand is composed of the six so-called standard growths most ly used In the common commercial branches. It is hardly probable that all of the forest lands on the islands are as rich as this; though many are richer. If the entire acreage be only half as thickly and us richly forested the 60, 000 square miles could be Immediate ly thinned of about half of what they now bear, and the cutting would be worth $21,000,000. SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE. Today we have Journeyed' far, My heart and I; Came home at dusk 'neath a star Hung keen and high.. The morn was a blade of steel Scabbard of white Bonnie and brave to feel In burnished light. As we footed the open road We sang the sun: Love was the debt we owed The day begun. The hills were abrupt and blue Castles of kings, To be won and wandered through For precious things. Noon and the long afternoon- Gladness and hope And a shadow that walked too soon The westward slope. So is the wild world won By those who roam; But best of the day that Is done The door of home . z Emery Pottle, In Success Magazine. The rays of the sun focused through a large glass Jar filled with amber colored water In a Sixth avenue drug store at Tacoma, set fire to a curtain upon which the concentrated rays of light fell. The clerks about the apothecary shop were compelled to put up a sharp fight to extinguish the flames. mm Nik jus Erery mother feali great dread of the pain 'and danger attendant upon the most critical period of her life.

Concessions have been granted by the Mexican government for the es tablishment of farm colonies In low er California. The Campania Mexl canla de Desarolln de Baja California each undertakes to settle at least 150 families in farm colonies In the pro vince within three years, and at least 85 families within the following six yenrs. All provisions, furniture, build ing material, agricultural machinery and Implements, and stock cattle de stined for those colonies are granted exemption from import duties. Factors of Safety The human body is a wonderful machine, provided with muscular, nervous and mental energy far in excess of normal needs. In health, tic orenns and tissues can do double their usual amount of work without strain or friction, because they have stored energy to meet the extra demand. When you feel ".ill ti:c!:cred out." these factors of safety are nearly exhausted and you need to resort to PILLS to renew the supply of energy, wherever it may be called for. Indigestion, bilious attacks, constipation, loss of sleep, ner vousness, dizzy spells, arc warnings that the factor of safety in the stomach, liver, bowels or brain, is low, or nearing the danger point and needs to be replenished. Beecham's Pills increase the supply of blood, strengthen the stomach, operate the bowels, feed the nerve cells, build tissue, and create a reserve supply of energy, which is the only natural and effective way to Protect the Health In boxes with lull direction. 10. auad Me.
