SAME OLD SAGEBRUSIL Standing on the bank of the gov ernment irrigation canal yesterday near Echo, admiring the great volume of water flowing toward the reser voir which Is to reclaim 22.000 acres of sagebrush land in western Umatilla county, an old pioneer declared that he could scarcely believe it Is the same old Lmatuia county, me same old sage brush, the same old hills. Here through the waste land which has been the haunt of the rabbit for centuries, the current of the river is now flowing, like a Ufegivlng spirit, awakening the verdure, starting the pink of the peach bloom, spreading the green of the alfalfa through the domain of the sage. ITtah has seen "the same transfor mation. Idaho has been stripped of her ancient habilaments. Wyoming Is a new state. Nevada is breathing again with renewed life. Colorado is a vigorous queen under irrigation. California is a dream of bloom and beauty and Oregon will become a model of the new world development when her rivers and deserts are united In irrigation. It is almost unbelievable until you stand on the bank of the canals and dee the water flowing through- the sagebrush wastes. Green grass Is growing where nothing green has ever been seen before. Shrubbery Is start ing up vigorously where never a' tree lilted up Its arms in gladness before. Flowers are blooming and crops are thriving where no verdure ever look ed up to the god of nature before, and it Is all on that same old desert, among that same old sagebrush, on those same old barren hills. It is the marvel of wate'r, the-ser-! mon of the flowing river, the dream of the ditch maker, the realization of .'he poet's fancies, the fruition of the "hope of the irrigation "crank" who ha ben laughed at in every age, but who is yet the greatest civilizer known to mankind. at great profit to the farmer and greater benefit to the land. This, Dr. Withyeombo declares, Is one of the unpardonable sins of east ern Oregon farming methods. While the land Is being Impoverished by continuous wheat growing, the farm er Is taxing himself, in addition to hit) other economic burdens, by paying freight on hogs for 1800 miles while he might grow these hogs on his own land and sell them to Portland and Puget sound packers at enormous profits. Thus the farmer loses in two ways: He pays a useless freight charge on his bacon and he loses a profit which he might reap from hog raising at home. These things may sound like the ories, but they are gospel truth and will come to be recognized by Uma tilla county farmers perhaps when it is too late. Mil. CAKE'S FAIRNESS. H. M. Cake, republican candidate for United States senator, has set a new pace in political campaigning In Oregon. In his political addresses Mr. Cake absolutely refrains from attacking his opponent, Governor Chamberlain, al though the governor devotes much of his time to assaults upon Mr. Cake and his alleged failure to stand by his ante-primary principles. "The office of United States senator is too exalted a trust to be lowered to the level of personalities, "says Mr. Cake and so he shows his respect for the office by conducting his campaign on a high, manly and dignified plane. Mr. Cake believes that principles are at stake, that Oregon should send a man to the senate who will be in sympathy with the administration and with the advancing republican senti ment of the century and so personali ties are no part of his campaigning. This is really a new era, a new Ideal in politics In Oregon. Who can remember a political campaign in Or egon when candidates did not roast each other, when personalities, no matter how bitter, did not play a con spicuous part In the fight. Mr. Cake Is making - friends and votes by his high class campaign. He is confining his addresses to bona fide arguments, td discussions of public questions and has studiously avoided attacks upon Governor Chamberlain. This Is one of the best arguments In favor of Mr. Cake. He has proved that he Is a man of high Ideals, broad principles, broad guage dignified and highly sensible "xf the dignity of the office to which he aspires. He Is senatorial timber. His conduct proves it. His principles prove It. His Ideals prove It and he Is convinc ing voters of the fact by his maner of 'campaign. IT ISN'T ROOSEVELT'S IDEA. -WASTEFUL OREGON. One oi the most forcible arraign ments of the wasteful methods of Or egon farmers ever made In this county was made by Dr. James Withycorabe during his lectures from the O. R. & N. demonstration train itv the county this week. Dr. Withycombe called attention to the absolute waste which Is tolerated every year by Oregon, In allowing land tc be cropped with wheat continuous ly, while millions of dollars worth of fat hogs are shipped 1800 miles from Omaha and other Nebraska points Into this state to supply bacon and lard for Oregon farmers. Several million dollars worth of hogs are shipped Into this state each year, by farmers paying the freight from .Nebraska, in addition to the wholesaler and Jobbers' commissions, while these same hog might be fat tened on the farms of eastern Oregon Because few of the people of the country understand the method em ployed In the various big stock and grain exchanges of the country, dema gogues can easily distort President Roosevelt's condemnation of "bucket shops" into an arraignment of all legitimately conducted exchanges, a condemnation of all. trading In the form of future contracts, without which the merchants and manufac turers, and even the agricultural In terests, would be virtually paralyzed But part of what the president did say was; "The great bulk of the business transacted on the exchanges is not only legitimate', but is necessary to the working of our modern Industrial system, and extreme care would have to be taken not to interfere with 'this business. In doing away with the bucket shop type of operations." The president, knowing the differ ence between real transactions, back' ed by the products of the country, merely attacked the bucket slfop method of wagering upon the turn of the quotations made on the big ex changes where actual business Is transacted. tible to a much higher state of cul tlvatlon than Is now found In the county, and within a few years the prophecies of the experts will have been largely realized. The average size of farms In the Hood River district Is 16 3-10 acres and the average income Is $S0O per ucre per annum. A stretch of coun try 30 miles In length and from five tc 10 miles In width along the west elope of the Blue mountains In Uma tilla county Is susceptible to the same high state of cultivation and enormous Income. Umatilla county Is no longer a Rip Van Winkle. The rusty, old gun of ancient prejudices Is falling to pieces in his hand, the tattered coat of moss backlsm has fallen away piece meal and a new man Is facing the future, clear-eyed and hopeful. This Is a new day. Is your name on the list of sub scriptions for the publicity fund?

The agricultural experts who are accompanying the O. R. & N. farming demonstration train through eastern Oregon this week, have had the high est praise for the farmers of Umatilla county, the intelligent, progressive farmers who have attended the meet ings and asked questions on the sub jects discussed. . The experts feel that their lectures have not been wasted. The high class farmers of this and adjoining counties, the Intelligent understanding of advanced farming methods evidenc ed by them and their practical Ideas all give the experts encouragement and It is believed that the seed of new Ideas sown In the county by these lecturers wlfi ripen Into practical re sults within a few years. foe few bonanza farmers are not now interested but the rank and file of the farming communities are In n consumption.

It will not cure consumption In Its advanced stage. No medicine will. It will cure the affections that lead ud to terested. Umatilla county Is .suscep- consumption, If token, in time. Representative Cushman of Wash ington, came to Speaker Cannon with a letter written by the speaker himself. "Mr. Speaker." he said, "I got this letter from you yesterday, and I could not read It. After I studied it quite a spell I showed it to 20 or 30 of the fellows in the house, and between us we spelled out all the words except those last three. We can't make them out. I want to know If you won't translate those last three words?" Uncle Joe took the L-tter und stud led It.

What Makes a Bank Strong ? In Judging a bank, always remember that tt Is the personnel of the stockholders, Erectors and offi cer that are behind the Instltut' on which give con fidence to the depositor that hi funds are safe. The Pendleton Savings Bank Is essentially a "Home" Institution. Its stockhold ers art well known Umatilla county and Oregon citizens. Its constant growth Is the result of care ful and conservative management, with the most liberal treatment for all deserving enterprise. Capital and Surplus $250,000.00 W. J. Furnish R. T.
