INQUIRING ABOUT OREGON. "I have J 1800 In cash; am able bodied; have a wife and three child ren; am willing to work; what can I do In eastern Oregon toward estab lishing a permanent home?" This is the -tenor of the letters re ceived by the East Oregonlan from anxious homeseekers In the east, every day. What can a man do with $1800? To a bonanza wheat king that sum Is Insignificant It would' not pay for harvesting half a crop; it would "scarcely buy sacks for some of the crops of the Inland empire. It is not worth talking about But let us see what It means to the -man of small means. It means that he can buy a tract of 10 acres with half of It, build a small house, and a team with the remainder, and the first year, from his 10 acre tract he can pay for his team and live well. He can work for some farmer or stockman every day when his labor U : not required on his own land. He can earn good wages the year through and Improve his little tract slowly, mak ing a living for the family from the poultry and dairy cows kept on the ranch. He need, not pay all of the cost Trice of his land In cash. He can buy Irrigated land for half down and the remainder on easy payments so therp are thousands of opportunities In Umatilla county for men with less than $1000 In cash. All through the PHot Rock coun try and northern and western Uma tilla, are tracts that can be bought a: reasonable prices. These tracts will produce potatoes, fruits, alfalfa or other profitable crops. One man can handle a small tract easily and educate his children and live Inde pendently. Here Is a land owner, a producer, n Independent, thrifty homeowner and citizen. In the east he is a ten ant upon a non-productive measly lit tle farm, working day and night for somebody else, having no Income aside from a bare living and having no prospect aside from that of being a perpetual tenant. Umatilla county offers emancipa tion to the eastern tenant. That Is sufficient Inducement to bring them west. tion which Is deserving of more than passing notice. It Is this: While the people are heartily In favor of Roos evelt and are willing to follow Roos evelt Into Hades, as It were, yet these same people absolutely refuse to ac cept Taft, who is Roosevelt's personal choice. The people are for Roosevelt, personally, but they will not let him choose. Such a condition is unparalleled In the history of politics. Usually a man who has Roosevelt's following and grasp upon the public can dictate mea or politics. But Roosevelt's efforts to foist Taft upon the voters, has fail ed. He cannot, with his magnetic and powerful personality, induce the people to accept Taft. Roosevelt they will accept at any time, under any circumstances, but his choice, never. It becomes more and more appar ent every day that the next president will be either Roosevelt or Bryan. ELECTRIC LINE POSSIBLE. ROOSEVELT, OR BRYAN. Every observant man who returns to the Pacific coast from an eastern ' trip says that the next president will be either Roosevelt or Bryan. This sentiment Is so general and so em phatic that it has come to be a part - f the ruling sentiment of the presi dential situation. Taft Is not looked upon as a win- - aer. He Is not in favor with the rank . and file of the people. Although Roosevelt has indorsed him, even Roosevelt cannot bring the people to ivor Taft There Is an anomaly In the titUA- It Is possible for retired farmers and capitalists of Pendleton to launch an electric line project and have it in operation between Pendleton and Umatilla Inside of a year. By subscribing $100,000 to construct and equip the first 10 miles of the road, the remainder of the cost price could be readily secured by bonding the system, right of way and equip ment and it would pay for Itself without further outlay on part of lo cal capitalists. Twenty men could be found in this city and vicinity who would be willing to subscribe for $5000 worth of stock, each, and within a few weeks the line should be started. It Is perfectly feasible and practi cable. Systems of far greater Import ance than this would be, have been started on less capital. At Caldwell local capitalists started a line between that city and Boise on less capital than this and the line was swamped with business and the subscribers were requested to put up but one-third of the cash subscribed, so great was the volume of business secured for the line. At first it was thought a car serv Ice every four hours would be suffl dent. That was found to be inade quate to meet the enormous travel ana a service every two hours was Installed. However, the country furnished such a volume of business that an hourly service, was started and the cars are loaded to the limit every trip. Such would be the case between Pendleton, Hermlston and Umatilla within a short time after starting the car line. People all along the route would patronize It regularly. Every foot of land would be Increased In value from 25 to 40 per cent and the rade of the entire west end would be perpetually tied to Pendleton. All that Is lacking to start this line I;, somebody to take the lead. The public spirited capitalists and retired farmers of this city, who have ample capital, would certainly grasp this op portunlty to Install one of the best paying enterprises In the county. Soon the west end of the county will be swarming with settlers and the business originating west of Pendle ton would require a double track in a few years. The line would pay for itself easily. All that Is necessary is a sum to start the line and build per haps 10 miles to form a basis for a bond Issue with which to complete the remainder. republican should vote for Oovernor Chamberlain or any other democrat this year. The republicans are united, harmonious, have good tickets In tho field and have principles at stake. So why should th0 governor's ap peal win votes for himself or any other democrat? Why should re publicans divide up their strength when they are agreed upon fundamen tal principles upon which the party stands? Why should they pull apart, disintegrate, surrender their prlncl pies-or weaken? They have clean, capable candidates. Thoy have party Ideals to cherish, party principles to protect. So why should the governor's ap pial have any effect? RECIPE FOR ROSY CHEEKS. A lady, prominent in social circles, Just returned from a sojourn In Eu rope, brings back with her a valuable skin food recipe, which, she says is In general use among the society wo men of France; who have an Inter national reputation for their exquisite complexions, says the Portland Tele gram. The recipe Is as follows: Two ounces of rose water; one ounce of spirits of cologne; lour ounces sartoin (crystallzed). Put the sartoin In a pint of hot wa te,r (not boiling), soft water prefer able. When'lt Is dissolved and cooled, strain through a fine cloth, add the Rose Water and Spirits of Cologne. This preparation to be applied twice a day or oftener, and If adhered to persistently, Is said to produce wond ers even on the worst complexion or roughest skin. It Is an Inexpensive mixture, and the Ingredients can be gotten from any well-stocked drug store, the above formula making enough to last quite a while, and sufficient for a very thorough trial THERE'S MORE MONEY NOW. The people of the United States are this year richer by $125,481,000 than they were last year, or $1.44 In cash each, according to our estimated pop ulation. The growth of an eighth of a bil lion dollars of circulating coin In one year brings the per capita circulation to $35.35. The United States now ranks second among the nations In the matter of per capita circulation. France being in the lead with $37.41. The most remarkable showing is that this coun try's per capita circulation was only $31.41 four years ago. Small wonder that the United States is considered one of the richest na tions in the world when our per cap ita circulation increases at a percen tage greater than the Increase of our population. THE GOVERNOR'S APPEAL. Governor Chamberlain aa a sena torial candidate sees no reason why republicans should not vote In large numbers for him, a democrat. There Is every reason why they should not. They have a clean, honest, fearless candidate of their own, standing for all tho advanced principle advocated by Governor Chamberlain, and in ad dition many more substantial princi ples for which Oovernor Chamberlain doea not stand. There is no reason why a solitary Flow of tlie "American Nile." A comparison of the flow of the Nile and the Colorado river of the west, which has sometimes been termed the American Nile, Is given In water supply paper 211, just pub lished by the geological survey. The maximum flow of the Colorado is about 110.000 second-feet; that of the Nile Is about 353,4)00 second-feet; while the minimum flow of the Colo rado Is about 2500 second-feet and that of the Nile about 14,500 second-feet. Like the Nile the Colorado is sub ject to an annual rise that comes at the time when it is most needed for Irrigation, but as the stream is far below the level of most of the irrl gable lands, its waters are available for use on a comparatively small area, though two pumping plants at Tuma and several others on the river above that place lift water for Irrigation. Mrs. M. A. McGee, of Boise, who recently horsewhipped a young wo man she found riding with her hus band, fired three shots at her hus. band with a revolver Monday eve ning. She was driving along the street and saw him standing In the door of a saloon. AH the shots went wide of their mark. "The Blood Is The Life."
