rMATILLA LAND FRAUDS.
The East Oregonian regrets that the
federal court has discovered what It
considers sufficient grounds upon
which to start land frauds Investiga
tions in Umatilla county. If the
frauds exist here nobody wishes to
cover them up or hide any feature of
the Illegal acts; but according to the
statements of those who are familiar
with the situation, those who are ac
cused will be able to explain their
acts satisfactorily to the federal grand
Jury.
That there has been much activity
In securing the Umatilla Indian lands
In this county nobody will deny. But
to the best of the East Oregonlan's
knowledge, the laws were changed by
congress to permit the activity with
out criminal liability. So if the law
permitted the acts charged against
Umatilla county people, the law and
not the individuals must be held re
sponsible. Senator Fulton rode over the
ground and satisfied himself that the
land In question was not such as
should require residence, and so If
any crime has been committed its
source is higher up than the entry
men. Let the federal court and grand
Jury get at the bottom of the facts
and settle them once for all.
words, but It contain one of the
most revolutionary economic changes
that could be imagined, a change for
which Oregon is not yet ready.
This amendment proposes to re
move the taxes from all tools, Imple
ments, livestock, houses, barns,
dwellings,, household furniture and
fixtures, books, music, traJe equip
ments, horses, carriages, wagons,
fences, Improvements of whatever
kind and also from all machinery and
mills used for manufacturing pur
poses.
This last phrase, excluding all mills
and machinery Is the Joker and re
lieves every sawmill, flour mill, foun
dry, shingle mill, sash and door f.ic
tory, harness shop, shoe shop, iron
and steel mill, wagon and carriage
factory, cigar factory, ice plant,
creamery and every other lmaglna
ble manufacturing plant from the
payment of taxes.
Think of the millions of valuable
and productive property In Oregon
which would be thus exempted from
taxation, while yet returning Immense
profits to the owners.
The prime object of this amend
ment Is to place all taxes on land It
Is the single tax idea, and Oregon Is
not yet ready for it. It would upset
and revolutionize assessments ana
taxation and would Impose such a
burden on land that people could not
meet it.
Land held for speculation should be
taxed heavily Just as heavily as that
upon which some enterprising citizen
erects a useful building, but the big
manufacturing establishments cannot
be exempted. Many of these are fos
tered by a high tariff and yield enor
mous Incomes and In raising the land
cn which they stand to meet their Just
proportion of the taxes, other land
would necessarily be raised out of all
reason and rank Injustice would be
practiced.
The assessment and taxation law of
Oregon may need fixing, but the voters
should vote "Xo" on this proposed
amendment. The state must come to
that theory by degrees and not by a
single bound.
Let us have a graduated land tax
to check the monopoly of land. That
would only become burdensome after
man had acquired a certain large
amount of valuable land, but let us
not Impose all the burden on land
under the present arrangement, leav-
ng the profitable mills, factories and
preduclng points "scott free." vote

A LITTLE SKHMON ON
HOME MADE HAPPINESS.
"Don't see snakes!"
ttiiar-iT gasped the National So
ciety or Ohio Women, says the New
York Tribune. It was at the Waldorf-
Astoria, and the Ohio Women had
dropped in, between shopping and
luncheon, to hear Mrs. Mildred Mun-
ley Caldwell talk about how to be
happy though living, and also more
especially how to be beautiful.
"By snakes I mean all the ugly
things In life," the lecturer explained,
and the women sat back In their
chairs again. "I met a woman last
summer who hated to look at the
mountains, because fancy! she
couldji't help thinking of the snakes
that were going up and down them,
Now some women go through life like
that. A person can't do a nice thing
for them but they begin to wonder,
'Now, what did she do that for?'

FORESTRY FOR THE PEOPLE.
It Is hoped that the eastern Oregon
stockmen who have been permitted
to enter the Wenaha forest reserve
before the regular time, on account
of the dry ranges, will now soften
their attitude toward the forestry de
partment. When it is understood that the for
estry system of the United States Is
run in the interest of the people and
for the good of the government.
there will be much less prejudice to
ward it. There may be mistakes In
administration, to be sure. No gigan
tic system like the forestry plan of the
United States can be made perfect In
one season.
But the true aim and object of the
forestry system Is to preserve the tim
ber and grass for the people. The
stockmen are coming to understand
Oils and they will find that the de
partment will make its rules flexible
and elastic whenever and wherever
necessary and possible to serve the vl
. tal interests of the country.
If stock needs range early, it Is cer
- lain that the right kind of action will
secure admission to the reserves early.
If the same stock need the ranges
later In the fall. It will be possible to
secure It.
.THE TAX AMENTMENT.
"'The voters of Oregon should pon
der moat, earnestly the proposed tax
amendment which will be upon the
official ballot at the coming state
election.
This amendment Is but a brief ar
ticle, conUioiBgj perhaps less than 100
There Is no reason under the sun
hy any republican should desert H.
M. Qake, the republican candidate for
the United States senate. Mr. Cake Is
the republican nominee, winning the
nomination In the primaries .in a
clean, honest, fair fight and he stands
today Just exactly where he stood be
fore the primaries, on every principle
nvolved In his election.
He is a republican and will vote
Ith the republicans in the senate to
keep alive the excellent principles of
the Roosevelt administration. He
ould not be an obstructionist, op
posing everything republican and
standing as a barrier to the progress
now being made by the dominant
party in congress.
Oregon will sound the keynote of
the presidential election and as usual
the nation is waiting for results from
Oregon. As this Is a solidly republj
can state and as it holds an election
several months prior to the presiden
tlal election, the senatorial election
In this state means much in shaping
the sentiment of the presidential elec
tlon.
Let every republican vote for the
n-publlcan candidate, therefore, and
set a pace for the presidential elec
tlon. A democrat would do Oregon
no good In congress. Oregon needs
legislation which only the co-opera
tlon of the strongest elements In con
gress can secure and a democrat
standing with the minority party
would have no possible means of se
curing this legislation.
On account of eastern prejudice and
misunderstanding the northwest
slates are denied much that is due
them. Only the co-operation and aid
of the strong republican majority can
possibly secure this needed leglsla
tlon for Irrigation, opening rivers and
harbors and other Improvements for
the northwest states.
It would therefore be suicidal to
send up a democrat. He could asK
nothing, could secure nothing for his
state. He could simply draw tne sal
ary and wear the title.
Let us have an active, working del
egation In congress.
The republicans have It In their
power to have such a delegation.
how to be beautiful, and the audience
sat up and took notice.
"Don't go to the beauty doctor and
nave darts and gussets cut In your
face," she adjured them "Just press
the right thought key, and a flood of
beauty will pour right out from your
soul. Far be it from me to blame
women who have lived such lives that
they have to spend all their time and
money on beauty doctors, but, oh, re
member, that thought, thought molds
the body. Think In curves! Develop
In curves. Why, even the gawklest
most angular woman can get to be
one of the curvlest. Bernhardt has
proven It.
"Do you know that your stomach
slumps actually slumps from two to
fiur Inches In your body if you make
practice of worrying and fretting.
First your mouth droops till you can't
lift the corners of 1L Your chin gets
big oh, you're anything but an im
pressive picture then. But worse
comes. Your stomach slumps mid
coils up on Itself, and your dlaphram
sort of falls on your stomac.i and your
stomach gets irritated and creates
poisonous gasses. Then your heart
feels as If It were giving out, and you
say, 'Oh, I don t know what s the
matter: I can't climb these stairs-
I must have heart disease.' Heart!
Legs are to climb stairs with, and
poor misguided women think they've
got to pull themselves up with their
hearts.
"Stop playing dirges inside your
selves. Tuck your abdomen back In-
to the right places; don't worry and
you'll be all right."
Then the lecturer described a few
different kinds of snobs, and gave
them what for.
"There are the people who think
that, to be born between Wall street
and Forsy-second street makes you an
aristocrat," she observed. "Why, the
point isn't 'Arn't you a Knickerbock
er?' but, 'What kind of a Knicker
bocker are you?' It's like this non
sense about accents. You go to Lon
don and there are people who tell you
that you aren't educated because you
haven't got an English accent. Why

THE OLD CATTLE TRAILS.
There are men In Oklahoma who re
member the days when large herds of
cattle were driven annually from
southern Texas and Old Mexico north
over the plains to Colorado, Montana
and Wyoming, says the Kansas City
Star. This trail followed the route
taken for centuries by the buffalo In
passing between their feeding grounds.
Settlement of the west with Its barb
wire fences, brought an end to this
trail travel of the cattle herds.
Colonel "Jack" Hardesty and other
pioneer cattlemen of this section at
tempted to prevent their passing from
the south, fearing that they would
spread Texas fever among the herds
that ranged from the north, where
this fever did not exist. This brought
on what was known as " the "Jack
Hardesty war." Hardesty hired a lot
of fighting men and placed them at
the east end of Heaver county, with
Instructions to stop all southern cat
tle. The method was successful only
for a short time, for the Texas catle
men complained to the government
and orders came to break the block
ade.
After the settlers became numerous
enough to demand their rights, about
the first herd that came through, In
charge of a man named Moore, was
from Tom Green county, Texas. There
was a difference among the settlers re
gardlng the route, some wanting the
herd to take the north side of the
Beaver, and others the south side. Af
ter a day's delay Moore chose the
south side, and this trail became the
establlhsed route. That was In 1887
or 1888.
