IS IT A GRAFT?
The East Oregonian has seriously
doubted the Justice of the order from
the insurance underwriters' associa
tion, compelling about 90 per cent of
the business houses of Pendleton to be
rewired, when some of the largest
and best buildings in the city have
been refitted and rewired for electric
fixtures within the past few years.
An Interview in the Oregon Dailj
Journal from B." E. Josselyn, presi
of the Portland Railway. Light and
Power company, confirms the EaBt
Oregonian that its first Impression of
tlie unjust order was correct.
The same Insurance underwriters'
association has ordered a change
from the direct to the alternating cur
rent In Portland and If this order
takes effect It will force about 600
good motors out of commission, caus
ing an expenditure of about $1,000.-
S00 for new motors ' and fixtures,
wlien every expert In the country, ex
cept the insurance people, admit that
Poland's lighting and power facili
ties and methods are unsurpassed on
the coast.
The underw liters' association has
.threatened a heary advance In insur
ance rates if i'.s orders are not com
plied with in Pendleton and Portland
and so people win either have to be
grafted for rewiring and refitting
their buildings at the orders of the
insurance association or they will be
lore heavily grafted by an unjust
and unnecessary advance In rates.
Mr. Josselyn recommends that busi
ness men discard the old Insurance
companies which are In a combina
tion and form a local association of
their own to meet Insurance lossea
He hints at a rank graft in the" order
to replace the current and Install over
400 new motors in Portland and if It
ib graft In Portland It Is graft In Pen-
dleton.
It will cost over $5000 to rewire
and refit Pendleton buildings to
comply with the requirements ot the
nderwrlters' association, while ar
chitects and electricians admit that
Pendleton -Is well equipped and that
no hcanges are needed except tn a few
isolated cases.
In Portland it Is current talk that
the big electrical supply houses and
the underwriters' association are in a
combination .to force people either te
rewire at great expense, thus creating
a heavy demand for electrical sup
plies, or else submit to an advance in
Insurance rates.
Business men are thus brought face
to face with one of the meanest and
most despicable feature of the mod
ern commercial world the criminal
combination by which graft is fatten
ed and kept alive.
Such combinations should force
business men to form mutual socie
ties for their own protection. They
can Insure themselves as cheaply at
tbe lusurance trust can Insure them.
No business man object! to comply
ing with a Just law or city ordinance,
and none object to making improve
ments where they are necessary, but
tbr do object to sweeping order like
this rewiring order, falling equally
Pendleton's big brewing plant
should not stand Idle for six weeks
on account of prohibition. Even the
making of the so-called "near-beer"
should not be considered for this Is
& precarious enterprise and will
crowd the prohibition law so closely
that its manufacture and distrlbu
tion will be a constant source of trou
ble to the owners."
The plant hould be rearranged to
manufacture denatured alcohol and
Pendleton should become the first
city In eastern Oregon to begin the
distribution of this new and highly
valuable commercial commodity.
The Weston mountain potato ills
trict will furnish all the cheap raw
material needed and denatured alco
hoi is becoming one of the leading
light, fuel and power commodities
and an excellent market for a large
output can bo found In the Inland
empire.
This alcohol enters in some form
into almost everything used In every
day life. The British government has
Just compiled the following list of
articles in which denatured alcohol Is
used: .
Making "finish" varnishes, lac
quers, stains, paints, enamels, etc.
soap manufacture;. hat-maktng; cellu
loids, xylonite, "etc.; ether, chloro
form; fulminates, smokeless powder
and other explosives; solid medicinal

tlble," Is a foolish statement. The
same thing was probably said of
Michigan's white pine forests a few
years ago, and yet 'the cut for 1907
was one-fourth less than the cut of
1 S l 9. only eight years before.
In addition to the reckless cutting
of the timber, with an eye to noth
ing but Immediate profits, forest fires
were numerous, killed the new growth
and greatly Impoverished the soil.
On account of the fires, largely due
to careless campers, according to for
estry statistics, 6,000,000 ncres, or
nearly one-sixth of the slate of Mich
igan, Is now barren, and has been
thrown on the delinquent tax list, a
burden to the people, when It might
have been of vast profit.
Does Washington want the same
condition In a few years?
THE POULTRY. YARD.
The rooster is halt the flock.
Keep the eggs In a cool cellar.
Keep on fighting the army of lice.
Disinfect the premises once a week
The prices are good for roasting
fowls.
Separate the growing cockerels
from the pullets.
It will pay to clean up the drop
pings each morning.
Never leave a dead fowl lie around
the buildings.
Filthy houses are doubly danger
ous during hot weather.
The price for dressed ducks' Is not
so high us last month.
The most stylish hens as a rule are
not the stylish ones.
This is a good time to dispose of the
old stock that is not needed.
During hot weather special care
should be taken not to overfeed nor
overcrowd.
To keep them growing, the cocker
els need a little more feed than do
the pullets.
It isn't good for hens to roost In
a draft. Locate the windows a little
way from the roosts.
When the clouds look threatening,
It Is time to look after the little tur
keys that are running with the hens.
Oats are Just as good a feed as you
need for turkeys, but feed thm your
self, and don't let the turks wallow
through the oat-fields.
If there is ever a time for lazy folks
to hatch chicks It Is now, when the
weather Is favorable and Nature pro
vides so abundantly for them.
Lice like to hide away under the
ends of the roosts. Every time you
spray, lift the roosts and give the
pests a dose that will drive them out
for good and all.
Fine wire netting about the yard
of the little chicks will keep out rats
unless they dig under. If they do that
better put a cement floor underneath
Partly decayed meat Is little bet
ter than a dose of arsenic for hens. It
Is-surely not fit for them to eat. Llm-
berneck Is now bellevpd to be caused
by that kind "f poison.
You can not blame a hungry cat for
destroying birds at nesting time and
picking up a young chicken once in
GOOD BLOOD
HATURE'S PROTECTION AGAINST DISEASE
The preservation of health and prevention against disease is almost
entirely dependent upon pure, healthy blood ; every organ, tissue, nerve and
sinew of the body draws on this vital fluid for nourishment and tan
Poisons, humors and germs from various aources often get Into the blood,
and then this great life-stream becomes a source of infection and disease,
Instead of a nourishing, health-sustaining fluid. Heredity ia likewise an
important factor, regulating the quality of the blood. Some persons are born
with tainted blood from diseased ancestry, and Scrofula in one of its numerous
forms is sure to crop out some time in life. Not only poisons in the blood
are responsible for disease, but when the circulation is run down and becomes
poor and weak iu quality, then we see the effect in a general bad condition
of health, such as weakness, sallow complexions, boils, and various skin
eruptions. All blood troubles require a tonic and blood purifier, and none
other equals a. o. o. ai goes uuwu iu mc
very foundation of the trouble, and removes
every particle oLthe poison or impurity from
the blood. And not only does 8. S. S.
antidote the poisons, humors and germs, but
it possesses health-giving, tonic properties,
which build up and strengthen weak, impov
erished blood, and fort i lies the system against
disease. S. S. S. permanently cures Rheumatism, Catarrh, SoreS and Ulcers,
Scrofula, Eczema, Tetter, and all other skin diseases and disorders. Book

IX MOVING TIME.
The sun climbs over the eastern hill;
The song-birds greet It with lilting
trill;
The restless cattle begin to stir,
And wings of roosters to flap and
whirr.
The farmer hears all tnese signs that
tell
It's time to rise, and he needs no bell.
And Mrs. Farmer she hearj them,
too;
Her breakfast calls and there's work
to do.
Ripe grass Is waiting tye fllshlng
blade
On sunny hillside, In quiet glade;
The blade that must see the sunset
glow
Lay all the wealth of Its greenness
low.
So back and forth as the sun mounts
high,
Across the fields do the mowers ply;
And back and forth till the west
grows red.
And the weary farmer seeks his bed
To dream of the meadows wet with
dew.
O'ereached by a sky of matchless
blue,
Where, weather permitting, another
day
find him tossing his rip'nlng
hny.

RETSY ROSS FLAGS.
Those who have visited the old Det
jy Ross house In Philadelphia may
have noticed that the flag flying above
It Is never weatherworn, nor whipped
to tatters. If they have also visited
the Betsy Ross pew In the old Christ
church, they have found the flag
draped there also fresh and unstained.
This Is not because some corporation
furnishes the money with which to
buy flags, hut because; surviving de
seendents nf Betsy Ros go once a
year to the old Itoni" of their ances
tress and make two flags by hand.
Just like that made by Betsy Koss for
"the fleet In Delaware river," and

WEEDS A BLESSING?
The Oregon Dally Journal views
the weed problem in eastern Oregon
farming districts In a new light and
in. discussing this Important subject,
td:toiially, says:
There Is a possibility, according to
careful observers In that region, that
the growing weed pest In Umatilla
and perhaps some other counties of
the wheat belt will eventually prove
a blessing in disguise In forcing the
breaking up of the now increasingly
large wheat farms and the substitu
tion of diversified farming.
The tumble weed and the tarweed,
or wnatever tney are, nave become a
serious pest In some sections, much
reducing the big wheat raisers' crops
and profits, and the larger the wheat
farms are the more diflcult it Is to
get rid of the weeds.
Land on which a crop Is grown
every other year, lying fallow every
second year Is sure to become foul
with weeds. It would seem possible to
eradicate them, but It appears that in
many cases this Is not done, and un
less all the farmers will cooperate to
do so, It Is discouraging work for
some of them.
So, a man who has lived a good
while up there tells the Journal, it Is
likely .that unless concerted and sys
tematic efforts are put forth through
out that region to eradicate these
weeds, the big wheat raisers will give
up trying to farm hundreds of acres
and will divide up their farms for
the purpose of raising a variety of
crops, cultivating the soil every year.
If this should gradually happen It
would no doubt be a good thing for
the country. In some sections small
farming might not be practicable
but In many other localities good
crops could be raised every year, and
a family could do well on a small
farm.
or to put a sod in the bottom of It, : "no nothing," only $2 a day,
so that there may be some degree of
coolness and moisture.
The best way Is to shut up all fowls
for 24 hours before killing and give
them neither "bite nor sup." They
will then be quite empty and will kill
and truss up In a very much firmer
and sweeter condition than If shipped
with decaying foods and evll-smwlling
fluids. From the July Farm Journal

Against that record I cannot recall
a single case of a man who, free from

New South Wales has a novel sys
tem of dealing with habitual crimi

for his particular' offense and to an
Indeterminate term beca'use he Is an
"habitual." When he has served the
definite term, If he Is well behaved,
he can rise from grade to grade, each
step being accompanied by various
concessions. ft)
One feature Is that he may earn
wages, which may be sent to his fam
ily, spent on"luxurles or credited to
him for the day of release. A com

when he may be released. No re
