I Iklal Now, when the Angel missioned ivith the sword, At Eden-gate his burning fal- chlon drew, , And when our sad First Pa- rents had passed through, How did that garden mourn their fate untoward: The fourfold rivers from their urns were poured With uneonsoled replnings; and the dew Did stand like tear-drops In the heart's-ease blue. And waned the lilies' golden honey-hoard. The breathing air henceforth was but one sigh That all around that lone- some pleasure ran, While Voices asked and lapsed without reply Such wistful airs about my garden fan, I dream, some grief of Eden still must lie At heart of every garden made by man! Edith M. Thomas. PENDLETON NOT SCARED. Because a few whiskey drummers ire peddling out the lie that Pendle ton la ruined and will soon be wiped off the map because of the prohibi tion vote In Umatilla county. Is no reason for Pendleton business men to be alarmed. A few years ago nothing but a sage brush waste marked the present sites of Vineland, Wenatchee, Kennewick acdthe North Yakima fruit districts. The land in those places Is no better than that of the Hermiston and Echo country. Now all of those places are thriving irrigation communities with land values out of sight. In Umatilia county are over 100,000 lcres of just such land, four or five times as much a Is included In the district surrounding any of the places rm-ntioned. Soil, climate, transporta tion facilities are all favorable here. Water Is abundant, seasons are long and sunshine plentiful and within a few years all "f this 100,000 acres will be .supporting a dense ppoulation. And Pendleton will be the center nd hub of the entire county as she Is today, with a population two or three times the present population. The Industrial development of the country does not depend . upon the firjuor traffic. Land values do not de pend upon it. No good town was ever made such by saloons and no good town will ever be injured by the ab sence of the saloon. WORK FOR THE DKEU ERY. There Is no reason why the big brewing plant of this city cannot be employed In the manufacture of de natured alcohol at a handsome profit. The principal raw material used In the manufacture of this alcohol Is po tatoes and Westun mountain can grow more potatoes than could be used by hif a down such plants. The increasing demand for cheap fuel for engines and automobiles makes the outlook for denatured alco hol especially bright. It has come to be one of the most popular fuels of the age and the United States leads In its consumption. It is a nimpie process and the ma chinery used In a brewery can be ujted in the manufacture of the alco hol with but slight re-arrangement. Within a month the big brewery could be made over Into a denatured alcohol plant and would be returning the owner a handsome Income. Beer Is not the only stuff that can V manufactured In Pendleton. There are dozen of commodities which can be turned out ab, a fine profit here, and there Is no reason why the costly biewery plant should stand Idle for . six week. NEW ERA IX POLITICS. fTllllam Allen White, the fenltu of Kmporia, Kan., and one of the beat mngntlno writers of the present day, writes entertainingly of the t'hlcitg.t rt publican convention for a lyndlcate of papers, and the gist of his articles Ij that the old-time politicians and old-time politics have passed away and a new era Is upon us. He puts words Into the mouth of an imaginary "Colonel" who has attend ed all the republican conventions since Grant was ' nominated and the war- horse bemoans the passing of the old order. The "Coloner especially bewails the absence of the railroad man with the transportation book, who was the big gest man In former conventions.. Now all delegates pay their own way. It Is a disgusting order for the old man. No politics, no passes, no big sack, no bids for votes, no nothing Just a big gathering of men paying their own ex penses and attending strictly to busi ness. This Is a, part of the new order and is as astonishing to the old "Colonel" as the primary laws In a number of states by which the "fool" people do Pll the voting, select all the candidates and make all the laws. The halcyon days of packed con ventions, big sicks and transportation books have passed away. Politics has tut little to attract the old-time war horse any more. It Is a mighty dull affair. The old "Colonel" could not dttermlne at first whether the Knox trass band and a marching club at the Chicago convention was a funeral procession or an escort taking a doom ed man to the gallows. It's a mighty dull affair, judged fiom the old standards. WHEHE OFFICES ARE SPOILS. Perhaps In no other northwestern state has the bitterness of the repub lican factional fight been carried to the extreme limit that has been reach ed In the Gem state, Idaho. The Mor mon question,, the land frauds, Hey burn's forestry fight and other sub jects have entered Into the fight to add a mite of gall and a thirst for re venge. United States District Attorney Ruick and United States Marshal Rounds have been summarily removed from their offices upon the suggestion and through the active work of Sena tor Borah. This. Is a bit of revenge which will doubtless be sweet to Borah and his friends, but their day Is com ing of course, when the next faction gets into power and cuts them off "at the pockets." The removal of the two officials named is their reward for securing evidence which brought the land frauds charge against Borah. It may be that they were actuated by political revenge to have Borah Indicted. If so they have simply played a losing game. Rut It is only a game and Borah will be forced to bow to the next man who gets Into the saddle. And in all the entire fight the pub lic office Is used simply as a top to be tossed about among the scheming politicians. The public and the gov ernment "be damned." The office Is a spoil and belongs to the winning faction. LOOKING AT THE BRIGHT SIDE. In New Jersey there has recently been In corporated an "Optimistic club." organized to combat pessimism and encourage and recreate prosperity. It drew to Itself public notice when at the same time from 100 pulpits, of all creeds and denominations .the doc trine of religious optimism was preached and the philosophy of sun shine was advocated. Along different lines, but with the same object In view as the Prosperity league lately organized by commer cial Interests at St. Louis, this new society proposes to promote moral, as well as industrial and financial, optim ism. Sanction and assistance are given to the movement by the Roman Catholic and Episcopal bishops of New Jersey and by a number of prominent clergy men and sociologists. It Is felt that by wisely directed ef fort the church, without any depart ure from Its own functions, can help a great deal In the restoration of bus iness confidence, and in persuading men to adopt sound principles In all commercial transactions. The project Is non-political and non-sectarian, the only motive being for the common weal. It Is planned tc have a great mass meeting of opti mists in the near future. The pro moters are proceeding; on the theory that since talking about and predict ing hard tjmes often contribute large ly to producing depression, there la no reason why talking about good times should not have"a corresponding effect In the other direction. This Idea ought to appeal to all In tellgent persons. It should be care fuljy divorced from any Intention to inflate values or prices beyond the safety mark, but If wisely employed a campaign of optimism can be made to bring; great and substantial benefits. The optimist Is always a more desir able man to meet than the pessimist. Ol'TSIOK VIEW OF LAND FI5AFDS. The Salem Journal says of the out come of Umatilla land fraud cases iiiul of land monopoly In general: The people have not much reason to expect any substantial results from the land fraud prosecutions In Uma tilla county. In the- first place the Heney land fraud cases haye mostly gone up In political smoke. In the next place If the lands al leged to have been stolen are re turned to the government they will simply be grabbed by new monopoly methods. Tho big holdings in Oregon by in dividuals and corporations, ranging all the way from 10.000,000 to 3.000. 000 acres are the worst obstacle to the rational development of the state. There Is not a particle of dbubt that technical evasions of the laws were resorted to In nearly every case to se cure these blocks of public land. There is not any room to doubt that the state and federal courts will up hold all .these land monopolies as vested rights. Then what remedy have the people? What show Is there to get these Im mense holdings, that He across the pdth of civilization, broken up? , Absolutely none under the present constitution and legal status of these holdings. Heneylsm will not solve thG problem. What will? With hundreds of acres of rich ap ple land for sale In all parts of Uma tilla county at reasonable prices, there Is no reason why every saloon man in the county canncrt engage in that industry and make a good living at it. WInesap apples yielded $1000 pet acre at Milton last fall. Common winter varieties on orchards that were not well taken care of yielded from $600 to $S00 per acre. Here Is an opening for every man who will go out of business in Umatilla county on July 1, because of the prohibition vote. This fcote was a blessing in disguise for the saloon men If they will only grasp the opportunity before them. The East Oregonian Is glad to see the bankers of Umatilla county get ting closer together. Umatilla boasts of the largest number and most pros perous and substantial lot of banks to be found In any eastern Oregon county. It Is hoped that the county tankers' association, which is to be or ganized soon will be an adldtlonal as set to the Institutions of the county. The county banks, as well as those of Pendleton, are all especially strong and progressive enterprises and their growth and expansion Indicates the vital growth of the county. How many residents of Pendleton know exactly where Pendleton Is lo cated, by metes and bounds and sec tion lines? The town site of Pendle ton Is located on sections 2, 3. 10. 11 and 12. township 2, range 32, east, and comprises about 1480 acres. It Includes a quarter of section two, half of section three, all of section 10, half of section 11, and a .-mall portion of section 12. A tip to Pendleton capital: The pressed brick for the fronts and trim ming of .the new $40,00u city hall be ing erected In this city were shipped flora Spokane, Wash., and Coffeyvllle, Kan. On the summit of the Blue mountains near Meacham is a moun tain of the finest brick clay in the west. Will you wait for some tender foot from the far east to come along p.nd snap up this opportunity? THE MOSS ROSE. The angels of the flowers one day, Beneath a rose tree sleeping lay That spirit to whose charge 'tis given To 'bathe young buds In dews of heaven. Awakening from his light repose, The angel whispered to the rose: "Oh, fondest object of my care, Still fairest found, where all are fair; For the sweet shade, thou glv'st to me Ask what thou wilt, 'tis granted thee." "Then," said the rose, with deepened glow, "On me another grace bestow." The spirit paused, In silent thought, What grace was there that flower had not? 'Twas but a moment o'er the rose A veil of moss the angel throws, And, 'robed In nature's simplest weed, Could there a flower that rose ex ceed? From the German of Krummacher. ONLY A LIEUTENANT. A gentleman riding In a railroad train was impressed with two passen gers, one a pretty, delicate-appearing young lady, and the other a plain faced maid. When the mistress was at dinner the gentleman remarked to the maid In a tone of great sympathy: "Tour young lady seems very 111.' "Yes, sir; she suffers sadly." "Con sumption, I should fear?" "No, sir; I am sorry to say It Is of the heart." "Dear me! Aneurism?" "Oh, no, sir! It Is only a lieutenant In the navy." Read the East Oregonlan. TT TT SIATUM'S SAFEGUARD AGAfllST DISEASE Pure, rich-blood and a free circulation is the surest protection against he diseases and disorders which are constantly attacking our physical systems. The healthy circulation of the blood prevents the entrance of disease germs, and filters out of the system everything that is not necessary or beneficial to the growth and development of the body; all life's forees are kept up by it, and every organ, nerve, tissue and bom is dependent on the blood for its nourishment and strength. Healthy blood is filled with millions of little red corpuscles. 'I hese minute particles furnish its rich, red color, and are the carriers of nutri ment and health to the different parts of the body; in other words th very life and vitalizing essence of the circulation. The destruction of these corpuscles by disease germs weakens and pollutes the blood, and anaemia, with its attendant evils of pale, chalky complexions, weak, run-down svstems and malarial con ditions, or perhaps some more defin itely marked disorder, is the result. Frequently the blood becomes infected with acrid, fiery humors, and Eczema, Acne, Tetter, or some other skin disease or affection makes its appearance, and is kept up with its itching and disfiguring symptoms. An excess of uric acid in the circula tion causes a fermentation of the blood, and Rheumatism, ith its pains and aches, is established in the system, there to remain, unless the poison is driven from the blood. Old Sores and Ulcers are likewise dependent on bad blood. These places are kept open and in a state of irritation by the drainage of pollu tion which the blood is continually discharging into them. In fact there are few ailments which cannot be traced to impure or diseased blood and our only safeguard is to keep the circulation in strong, healthy condition. In all blood troubles S. S. S. has proven itself a perfect remedy, and is universally recognized as the greatest of all blood purifiers, it goes down into the circulation, and removes all poisons, humors and taints, and makes this life-stream pure and health-sustaining. It pr.ri fies and strengthens weak, deteriorated blood, supplies it with the health ful properties it needs, and establishes the foundation for good health. As a tonic S. S. S. has no equal, and will be found especially adapted PURELY VEGETABLE Ulcers, Skin Diseases, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison, and all other blood troubles, are permanently cured by S. S. S., and so thorough is its work that no trace of the disease is left for future outbreaks. S. S. S. is for sale at all drug stores.

A good story on the wife of an ar my officero fhlgh fang has recently leaked out. t appears that the of ficer, who is a general and a friend of the president and his wife, were dining at the home of a member of the cabinet. The president wus pres ent and the wife of the army officer sat next "to him. During the course of conversation the talk turned on Cuba .where the genera! and his wife had been during the winter for a brief visit. Suddenly the lady In question turned to President Roose velt and said: "Cuba Is such a delightful place. Were you ever there, Mr. President?" For a moment the guests who sat within, hearing distance of the re mark were spellbound, but then the humor of the situation proved too much for them and a shout of laugh ter weit up In which the president himself Joined. What the general must nass is so fraught with dread apprehension. There is no necessity for the reproduction of life to be either very painful or dangerous. The use of Mother's Friend pre pares the system for the coming event, and it is passed without any danger. This remedy is applied externally, and has carried thousands of women through the crisis 1, with but little suffering. Write for book eontslnlnt; Information of Ttlne to sll expectant mothers.

In Greenland, a detached portion of America extends to 82 degrees north. On the east coast there are one or two Esquimau families and about two hundred and fifty people ninth of Melville Bay, but the popu lation Is mostly concentrated on the west coast between Cape Farewell and 73 degrees north In little "ko lonls." or settlements, under Danish officials, who administer the govern ment. In 1901 the total population of the two Insectorates of North and South Greenland was 10,616, of which 309 were European officials and their families. Traces of Esqul maus have, however, been found as fur north as 81 degrees and 52 min utes.
