WHAT THE CAMERA REVEALS
HELP THE COMMITTEE,
The commltte of business men en
gage In soliciting the publicity fund Is
doing this work free of charge for
the community. They are neglecting
their own business while they are do-
lrg It.
Every other citizen of Pendleton
Is equally Interested with these gen
tlemen. It Is not a personal matter.
It Is for the good of the county and
every citizen who Is Interested In the
welfare of the county should help this
committee.
The fund which Is being raised will
be used for the good of the county.
It will advertise CMATILLA COUN
TY, not Pendleton, alone and there
fore every citizen of the county U
Interested.
When the committee visits you be
ready to say what you will do and do
li The time of these business men
Is worth as much to them as yours
I;, to you. They are giving their time
and labor freely. Now show them
the courtesy of being ready and wil
ling to join in the publicity campaign.
The oflcial photographer for Sun
set Magazine, who has been taking
pictures In the east end of the coun
ty for the past week, has discovered
some fine Illustrations of the produc
tiveness of Umatilla county soil and
has laid bare some excellent oppor
tunities for poor men to make a start
and establish a home quickly.
One apple orchard In the east end
or the county which has never been
known to any one outside of a few
neighbors and of which but little care
has been taken, last year netted the
owner $S00 per acre in fine winter
apples.
A vineyard of which perhaps no one
In Pendleton ever heard, yields $500
per acre every year. The vines are
az strong and thrifty as those of any
of the California vineyards and pro
duce almost as well although this
country is not advertised as a grape
district.
Another thing revealed by the
camera in the east end of the county
was an orchard of peach trees aver
aging about five years old, with 190
trees to the acre, which last year net
ted the owner $3 per tree or JISO
per acre.
Another unknown resource found
by the same camera was a field of
three acres of young strawberry
plants which last year netted the
proud owner $31.0 per acre. This
year it will do better.
And then the best part of the story
i that hundreds of acres of the same
kind of land which is producing these
apples, grapes, peaches and straw
berries, can yet be purchased at
prices ranging from $100 to $300 per
acre, according to location.
Any poor can can secure a small
tract of It. He can find work to sup-
! port his family while his berries or
inennh trppa nra rnmin? to maturity
f " . . . - - s, o -
and before he knows It, so to speak,
he can have a fine Income and a good
home established.
There are thousands of such op
portunities in this rich section of the
state. No need for homeseekers to
pass Umatilla county. There is
something here for every class of
homeseeker. All that is needed is to
make the homeseeker know It.
They have money Invested here and
it Is difficult to sell a property which
Is under the ban of the law.
Hut the refusal of Judge Hean to
grant the injunction restraining the
county court from issuing the prohi
bition proclamation meets with the
hearty approval of a very largo pro
portion of the people of Umatilla
a
county.
There Is no ground for setting the
prohibition vote aside. The county
court strictly observed the law. The
election notices were properly issued
and posted, the election was held and
the strongest argument against the
Injunction was the fact that a major
Ity of 700 votes was rolled up against
the saloons In this county.
Judge Bean's decision In the mat
ter Is sustained by a very large ma
jority of his fellow citizens of Uma
tilla county. The vote has been taken,
the people have expressed their sen
timents In the matter and all that re
mains to be done is to lock the doors
on the first day of July In accordance
with the law of the state and the will
ot the people.
THE PHILOSOPHY OF OLD AGE.
HURRAH FOR TOM KAY!
State Senator T. B. Kay of Marlon
county, a hold-over republican sena
tor who. In his campaign two years
ago said he would vote for the peo
ple's choice for senator, has come out
boldly in the face of organized oppo
sition, and furious pressure from the,
anti-statement No. 1 forces, that he
will vote for Governor Chamberlain
for United States senator next win
ter. And because of this honest and
fearless declaration on part of Sen
ator Kay. another Salem state sena
tor, Dr. J. X. Smith, has organized
an anti-Kay machjie to fight the se-.
lection of Senator Kay for president
of the senate.
Now the statement No. 1 senators
nd democrats in general have an
opportunity to show their colors by
standing by Senator Kay, despite the
organized opposition of Smith and his
machine clique. Tom Kay should be
made president of the senate, if for
no other rea-son, than to vindicate his
position on the senatorial election
and to show the machine that the
people will be loyal to theft friends.
STATE FAIR XOT KILLED.
When gambling and saloons were
abolished in the Oregon state fair
grounds, hundreds of people who fa
vored these evils said that the state
fair had been killed by this action.
Last year, the first without gambl
ing in the grounds, rolled up a better
attendance than any previous fair and
this year $5000 purses for speed con
tests have been offered, something
unheard of In the history of the Btate
before.
The Lewis and Clark purse and
the great Salem purse are each for
$5000 and these have attracted the
best horses to be found In the entire
northwest and British Columbia and
the 1908 fair promises to be the best
ever held in the state.
And it will be a fair without gam
bling, bookmaklng or wlilakey, a
can, orderly, well regulated fair
where women and children may go
WHAT DOES FAILURE MEAN?
The word failure is not In the vo
cabulary of Umatilla county people.
This word may have a meaning, but
it Is unknown here.
Although this has been an unusual-
1 dry season and but little rain nas
fallen, yet practically a full crop of
uh. at will be harvested in this coun
ty. On the edges some of the wheat
and barley have been injured and tne
yield In the larger soil will be reduc
ed, but in the main wheat belt. In that
splendid section of the county where
v. heat that Is wheat, grows, the usual
high average will be maintained.
After 'a complete Investigation of
the crop conditions in the northwest
states, the conditions as found by the
O. n. & X. traffic department are as
fellows, as expressed in an item In the
Oregon Daily Journal:
It is estimated by the traffic de
partment of the O. It. & X. cpmpany
from reports received throughout the
inland empire, that the condition or
the wheat crop at this time Is even
better than it was last year at the
same period, and that there is every
indication of a bumper crop of wheat
In the grain areas of Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho.
In nearly every section of the in
terior country there have been rains
at times when they would do the most
good to the wheat crop. Sherman
county prospects are excellent, and
Gilliam county is In good condition.
The Morrow county crop Is generally
favorable but rain Is needed In the
northern portion. A late cool spring
Is said to have had unfavorable re
sults in the valley of the powder
river, but there will be some grain
and hay.
In the Grand Ronde valley and
Umatilla county, the Palouse country
and around Walla Walla, conditions
are excellent.
So far as heard central Oregon will
come to the front this year with good
grain crops. The Crook county re
gion gives favorable indications, and
in higher altitudes where the late
spring has held back crops the hot
summer days are expected to bring
everything forward rapidly from this
date. It is believed Oregon will this
year produce one of If not the great
est wheat , crop in the history of the
state.
There is one rank injustice In the
present local option law of Oregon
and all fair-minded prohibitionists
iulmit it. That Is the provision of the
law requiring saloons to go out of
business so soon after prohibition Is
declared. Since the liquor business
has been recognized and licensed by
the state so long, much money Is In
vested in It, and the prohibition law
should give the liquor dealers six
months or a year in which to close
out and get rid of their stocks and
fixtures. It Is wrong, in a sense, to
put them out of business summarily.
Although they may be to blame for
many things, yet Justice should be the
ruling spirit In every law.
It Is quite as natural to die as to
be bom. If humanity had the pre
science It might come to fear against
Its own birth; for there Is more terror
and certain torment In the life we
know than in that which we merely
speculate.
As the Papyrlst says, "Age detaches
a man gradually and Insensibly from
life. Little by little he lets go of the
things that were dear to him
pleasures, tasks, recreations, until at
the end, as Stevenson beautifully pic
tures In 'Will o' the Mill,' comes
death In no unwelcome guise to bear
him off, arm In arm, like an old
friend long awaited.
The fear of death in the fulness of
years Is not In truth a rational thing
and as such was unknown to the nn-i
dents; evidently It came In with the
Christian conscience and the threat
of punitive hereafter. For why
should you fenr what Is as natural ns
life? You do not remember when the
latter was thrust upon you; nor will
you be any more conscious when It is
.'it last taken away. Life.

THE ITCH OF SPECULATION.
If the National Irrigation associa
lion, tne .auonai Apple u rowers as
sociation or some other big Institu
tie n would back men with small
means to start Into the fruit Indus
try In favored places In the north
west, as readily and as willingly as
the National Brewers' association
starts men Into the liquor business,
the entire country would soon be a
paradise of small orchards, vine
yards and gardens. It Is strange that
capital cannot be' attracted by the
Lttter class of small industries.
Both Washington and Idaho will bp
entirely prohibition within two or
tiiree years, it Is declared by those
informed on conditions in those
states. When the west goes In for
principle it goes strong anil it goes
to stay. The westerner Is no quitter.
NEW DESTROYER OF BACTERIA.
THE PEOPLE IUVE DECIDED.
Naturally the saloon men wish to
do everything possible to perpetuate
their business In Umatilla county.
To the scientific marvel mysteries
of this age must be added ozone. It
has been found that the greatest pur
ifying agent in existence is contained
In this new gas that is generated by
electricity from the free air around
us.
It does many wonderful things. In
the commercial world it is used for
I leaching and refining mineral oils
or whitening wax, bum lacquer,
ivory, bone, feathers and various oth
er things.
In the manufacture of starch ozone
his been utilized for bleaching pur
poses; It has been found possible to
use it to harden and rinen the kind
of wood that Is used in musical in
struments; In Paris the linen from
hospitals Is dMnfeetPd by ozone, and
In Innumerable ways the gas has
been put to work by Ingenious man
to accomplish things that have
heretofore been done vlth difficulty
by other means. Technical World.
RATES WILL NOT UO I P.
The railroads, after all the talk
that has been going on, will neither
raise their rates nor, so far as Is
known, cut wages.
So loud . was' the clamor of public
lndignatlonthat the roads had good
reason for facing about. But It may
not have appeared desirable to yield
to the public sentiment that the rail
roads share In our depression as well
as In our prosperity; and, accordingly,
we 'have been told that an Increase
In rates would decrease traffic and
therefore, not Increase earnings.
The facts really are that conditions
are improving, tonnage is growing,
Idle cars will soon begin to decrease
In number, and that there Is nothing
to Justify an Increase In rates, espe
cially when such an Increase would
raise prices, and thus might cause
a setback to our recovery in matters
financial. Spokane Chronicle.
FREAK NEWSPAPERS.
The discussion on the subject of
using black paper and white ink for
newspapers recalls the fact that one
of the most remarkable freak news
papers ever printed was the Lumln
ara, published In Madrid. It was
printed with Ink containing phos
phorus, so that the paper could be
read In the dark.
Another curiosity was called the
Regal, printed with nonpolsbnous
Ink on thin sheets of dough, which
could be eaten, thus furnishing nour
ishment for body as well as mind.
Le Blen Etre, a French paper,
promised those who subscribed for
40 years a pension and free burials.

Senator IVpew in a speech In the
United States senate: Many years
ago a man came Into my office and
Introduced himself, saying he had
made $1,000,000 In western mines, had
brought It in cash to New York, but
possessed experience and Intelligence
far beyond the tenderfeet of Wall
street, many of whom he had met,
and wanted an Introduction to New
York bankers and brokers.
I stated to him the dangers, told
him th.U I had seen financial cata

In three months I again enabled
him to reach the mining regions of

IN THE CYCLONE HELT.
The following little Item of news
fiom Nebraska should cause people
v ho live outside of Oregon to want to
cpme here and those who live here to
stay. An Omaha Item says:
Forty-five cyclones In 4S hours, a
death list of 25 to 30 and at least 50
maimed, Is the record established by
Nebraska. Thursday nnd Friday of
this week.
The cyclones were scattered In dif
ferent parts of the state, and 22
towns were visited by the twisters in
two days. Some towns were struck
a number of times by different
storms and at one time the citizens
of Pland saw 10 different cyclones

STARTLING MODESTY.
Wo are now advised that society Is
to startle us by the modesty of its
clothes. For evening dress this sea
son you must have, at least, shoulder
straps. Drop-stitch stockings ,and
half hose are yielding to the solid
fabrics and personally proved gar
ments. Fashionable society has de
cided to be decent this year.
The vogue Is not to be called a re
form, even at the seaside resorts, but
the new style of women's bathing
suits are calculated to startle by rea
son of their extreme modesty. They
are cut severely high and all peek-a-boo
effects are rlglhly excluded.
Except for the abbreviated skirt,
Prlscllla, the Puritan maiden, might
feel no embarrassment In a beach
promenade. Yet a sea-siren In any
garb is Just as dangerous as a glance
at the Sunday World's pictures of
bathing wtfl show. The Treasure

KNOWLEDGE.
Oh life was high, and love was high,
And days were wondrous fair,
For love was truth, the truth of youth
Sans sorrow and sans care.
The dream was bliss until the kiss
Wrought misery and despair.
The rainbow light Is soft and bright,
The mist is chilling cold;
And ere 'tis spent be thou content
The Rainbow to behold,
Nor yearn wo much the mist to touch
It's mystery to unfold.

PUNCTILIOUS.
A French schooner went ashore at
one of the fashionable resorts. When
day dawned she was plainly In sight
of the beach, the waves breaking over
her decks, and the crew clinging to
the shrouds. The summer residents
flocked to the water's edge, where a
life-saving crew was working.
"Mercy, man, why don't you nil do
something try to save those poor
men? I wonder what they are " an
'xclted woman gasped, catching a
bronzed coast guard by the arm.
"We are doing all we can, madam,"
was the hurried reply. "They are
French. We have just sent them a
line to come ashore."
The lady turned to a friend with a
look of admiration in her eyes.
"Just think of that.' Mary." she
said. "And Isn't It just like those aw
