. 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."

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. Book on the blood and any
medical adviw desired will be sent free to all who write.

OXK OX THE GF.NF.KAIS WIFE.
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.

It to be an excellent blood pur

A SCRAP OF AMERICA.
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
