UNICN .SaLABE I have taught my soul the won- drous power of silence When life's forces wage their forces all around; 'Mid the turmoil, the oppression and anguish Of the struggle, I have gained a peace profound. I have learned to grope my way with trust unerring Whene'er the lights ahead of me are dim; And to look with lifted eyes to the horizon To discern the glow beyond Us darkened rim. Helen M. Richardson. DOLLARS IX WHEAT' KERNELS. If but two grains of corn could have been added to each ear grown In the state of Missouri, last year, the sum of $160,000 would have been placed in the pockets of Missouri corn grow ers, according to the estimates of Dean H. J. Waters of the Missouri Agricultural college. , Dean Waters has made this com putation and Issued this statement to prove that scientific farming pays. Better farming methods will Increase the production of crops, every time, and increased' production, be It ever so small, means an enormous total in crease In wealth. Take the same proposition In Uma tilla county. Suppose that more cul tivation, deeper plowing, less sum mer fallowing will actually Increase the production of wheat two bushels per acre. With 200,000 acres of land In wheat, the total Increase In the county would be 400,000 bushels, vhlch at 60 cents would mean J240, 000 additional for the growers of the county. Does any sane farmer doubt for an Instant that the production of wheat can be 'increased by better methods? When the Missouri experts calculate upon the basis of corn kernels an! find that such an enormous increase can be enjoyed by Improved methods, is It not reasonable to believe that the same practical methods will also In crease wheat production? It Is to Increase the number of ker nels to the acre, to make the yield heavier and better and to preserve tho soil forces that farming demonstration trains are run. and If the farmers will heed the lectures and follow the ad vice of the experts, it will doubtless be money in their pockets, no matter how many may sneer at "book farm ing." NO CAl'SE FOR ALARM. Why anybody should be seriously alarmed over the prospects of prohi bition Is beyond comprehension, Umatilla county is one of the richest in the state. Outside of Multnomah, this is perhaps the very richest coun ty in the state In material resources. And the county has not yet begun to develop. The wheat and alfalfa crops this year promise to exceed those of any former year. The fruit and berry crop is enormous and the market ex cellent. More cattle will be fed and marketed from the county this year than ever before because more new land is coming In, Portland markets are better and It pays better to feed. New people are settling in the Irri gated sections every day. The trade of the merchants is certain to Increase as the country settlement increases. Soon electric lines will criss-cross the county and why such a little matter as prohibition, even if it were liable to come, should alarm anybody, is be yond comprehension. The rich and beautiful county of Umatilla Is Immune from a small scare of that kind. Her resources )efy it. Her independence laughs at it. She turns with conscious pride to the wealth of her undeveloped lands, her vast ranges, her Idle streams and forgets the petty annoyances which are born of this fear. PKMI.KTO.VS FLTTRE. In every Irrigated belt in the world it is estimated that the chief city of each distinct irrigated section should contain one person in population for tvery acre of Irrigated land tributary to the city. Tli. s is not a fanciful dream of a ti ':er, but It is a bona fide eti nuio which is founded upon funda mental economic conditions and can depended upon. Let us take a peep into the future, then, and try to imagine the Pendle ton of five or 10 years hence. Beginning at the borders of the city on the west and extending to the Morrow county line are over 50,000 acres of land which will be brought under irrigation within the next few years. The reclamation of this amount is now practically assured, much of the amount being now under irrigation. The outlook Is too optimistic. Let us cut the estlmute in two and give Pendleton one person for every two acres of Irrigated land tributary. Let us say that Pendleton is entitled to 25,000 people under the estimates of cold-blooded statisticians. Let us give the doubter every advantage and take the "little end of the stick." That outlook is superb. And every foot of this 60,000 acres is Cirectly tributary to Pendleton. Four daily passenger trains now bring that section Into close communication with this city which is the county seat and cinef trading center. Twice, aye, four Utiles that many electric trains dally will bind that rich sectional still closer to Pendleton within an Incred ibly short time. Settlement Is Increasing, crops are increasing, shipments of farm, or chard and range products are multi plying in that tributary territory and there Is no reason why the traffic will not double every year, after once results begin to pour In from the Ir rigated belt. And all of this settlement and traffic, while directly helping the small towns, will also help and build up Pendleton. Let us look at the bright side and build for the bright future. The pos sibilities here are unsurpassed any where in the northwest. VOTE "NO" ON NUMBER 321. A vicious little amendment to the constitution Is proposed under No. 320 and 321 on the official ballot this yar. This amendment seems Inno ctnt enough and is couched in espe cially patriotic langdage, but under its velvet may be felt the sharpened claw of selfish interests. Thl amendment propo;s to nive cities, the alleged power to regulate theaters, clubs, saloons, pool rooms and other places especially named and which now are regulated by the crim inal law of the state. If the amend ment passes it will place gambling the liquor question and Sunday clos ing absolutely beyond the power of sheriffs and district attorneys and will make cities independent of counties and state. It Is the ruse of selfish Interests to get control of saloons, bawdy houses, theaters, pool and gambling rooms and be Immune from punishment un der state law. It is a nice dodge to overthrow the local option law and the criminal code of the state and voters who favor morality and well regulated towns are urged to vote "NO" on number 321. Pead the amendment carefully and see for yourself what It Is. Strange that the rich Irrigated land In the western part of the county lb being bought up largely by out siders, by strangers, while hundreds of thousands of dollars of home capi tal lies Idle in the banks waiting for an Investment. Every foot of the $100 per acre land will be worth from $500 to $1000 per acre within five years. It Is the history of Vineland, Kenne wick, Hood. River, Wenatchee and every other rich section of the north west. The pioneers pass up those opportunities and allow strangers to come in and grow Independently rich from them. A Grave Tragedy. A peculiar Incident occurred at a grave In Anaconda, Mont, a few days ago. The remains of George Qulgley were being Interred when two persons stood at the open grave, a man and a woman. Both gave evidence of grief, but neither apeared in the least cognizant of the presence of the other. The man was Lester Qulgley of Battle Creek. Mich., a son of the deceased, and the woman was Mrs. Emma Rog ers, who claimed to be a daughter. The son refuses to recognize her claim. A. O. U. W. Picnic. The members of the Antlent Order of United Workmen will hold a picnic at Waltsburg, Wash., June 6 and . The Fourteenth cavalry band from Fort Walla Walla will be present and render music during the picnic. Never Without Peruna There Are a Multitude of the United States Who Have Been Restored By the Use of Pe-ru-na, There are a multitude of people in the United States who have been restored to health by the use of Pernna. There is no tiae trying to deny this fact. As a rule, doctors dislike to admit it. There Is now and then a courageous doctor who does admit It, how ever. In such caos Peruna is prescribed by the doctor himself. Kvon (hough the doctor suffers pecuniary loss by such a transaction his pationt Is benefited, which ought to be the doctor's cliiof concern. We do not claim that doctors generally prescribe Peruna. But we do claim whenever Peruna is in telligently prescribed it rarely disappoints either the doctor or patient. -Mi A , sy HrJames P.Bkacken. Nasal Catarrh and Mr. James P. Bracken, 610 Tenth Ave., New York City, N. Y., has occupied the office of Water Inspector of New York City for the past fifteen years. He carries on an extensive plumbing business at 610 10th Ave. He is Post Deputy of Grand Knights of Reigna Celia Council Knights of Columbus, N. Y. He writes as follows : "For nearly a dozen years catarrh has bothered me in one form or another. I was troubled with nasal catarrh that had affected my stomach, which troubled me most in the morning. My appetite was poor, and I did not seem to relish my food. Indi gestion bothered me at times, also. I was advised to take Peruna, and I took it as prescribed for a month when my cure was almost complete. Today there is not system, and I can say without hesitation that Peruna cured me." Kidney Disease. Mr. Samuel A. Paxton, 1118 Troost Ave., Kansas City, Mo., member I.O. O. F. and National Annuity Association, writes : I am a well man today, thanks to your splendid medicine, Pernna. I was troubled with catarrh and kidney diseaee of long standing when ! first began using Pernna. I soon found I wu getting better, and continued taking it for four months. It cleaned out the system, leaving me well and strong and feeling better than I have in years." Warning to Mothers. A writer In the National Dally says: I give you a valuable article in which one mother warns others not to cover electric light bulbs with colored stockings or anything else, but to make a shield for one side of the light with asbestos or something which cannot catch fire. She makes mention of the fact her baby was blinded for life by a bursting electric light bulb, so kindly send out warn ing which should be appreciated. Father to tlie Man.

Cold Storage Ice and Coal Co., Hot Springs, Ark., writes: "I had been troubled with a very serlops case of catarrh for a number of years. Having tried many prescriptions by good physicians, I found myself no better. "On the advice of a friend who had used Pernna with good results I purchased a bottle. The results were so good that I continued using it, Have, perhaps, in the last three years used a dozen bottles, which have kept me from the try ing troubles of catarrh. I am never without a bottle of Peruna in my house. "One always gets relief from colds and Indiges have Peruna." Internal Catarrh. Mr. Michael Rooney, 20 Fifth St., Watervllet, N. Y., writes: "If I had known of Pernna years ago I should have been saved much suffering. Under carelessness and exposure in my younger years my system got into a very bad condition before I was aware of It, "My doctor thought that I had catarrh of the bladder and duly prescribed for me, but nothing did me any good. "My friends advised me to try Pernna, for which I am very thankful, as it has cured me in two months, and I am in perfect health. " Catarrh of the Head and Stomach. Mr. Frank Rlchtur, of Kat 2nd St., Winona, Minn., writes: "I take pleasure In recommending Peruna for catarrh of the stomach.' Peruna eured mo, and I know it will cure any one else who suffers from this disease. My catarrh was principally located in my head and stomach. I tried many remedies with out success. I read of Peruna in the papers, and five bottles cured me."
