If a dozen bunches of alfalfa will grow and thrive on the top of the highest knoll la sight of Pendleton, making an excellent growth in a sea son like this has been, with a mini mum amount of moisture, why will not 100, or 1000 or 10.000 acres of this hardy plant thrive equally as well on similar land? It seems that all that is lacking to convert much of the cheaper grade of wheat land intj alfalfa land, produc ing two crops per year, without irri gation, is the farmer with the nerve and good Judgment to plant the alfal fa seed. And If a dozen or 20 winter apple trees will bear excellent fruit of fine color, flavor and quality, on the high, dry foothills and sides of the Blue mountains n-.ar Pendleton, why will not 10.000 trees do likewise under similar conditions? When people answer these questions satUf.ietorily, they will have solved the Industrial question of the dry land tel:. Everything Is favorable to di versified farming if only people will try it. ADVERTISING OKEGOX. Oregon's superb resources in land, livestock, timber and mining are not the only attractive advertisements be ing sent out by the state. These material things are attracting thousands who are seeking homts and who desire to make money. Put the progressive laws of Oregon are attracting a higher and better Class of citizens with an Ideal govern ment, with a conviction that all politi cal power Is lodged with the people. The popular election of United States senators, the Initiative and ref erendum and the direct primary laws are attracting more substantial and thoughtful people to Oregon than all the Tambuoyant advertisements Of gold mines, fruit lands or city prop erty. Every leading paper in the United States has said something about the Oregon p'.in of government In which the common people figure conspicu ously. Most of the more moderate and sensible papers say something fa vorable about the Oregon plan and commend this progressive plan to the consideration of the people every where. fThe Duluth Herald, a strong and In- lentlal republican paper of Duluth, aifnn., U the last to take up the dls fcisslon of the Oregon plan and says of The outcome of the "Orepon plan" jojfj bringing the selection of United flutes senators close to the people has fciused some perturbation and alarm Hrjiong strong partisans, and no doubt KHe fact that H will compel a republi- kJJn legislature torflect a democratic initiator, or ref ife' to fjand by Its Brdges to the people will make re- blican partisans In stabyice Mln sota very reluctant lotaka it up. However, thelj (a oMnterho all htie amazed protests of partisans that u certain to alienee therte atTeaatjio - as public utterance It qoncerhed. kat is the obUouiJfact rtkitfAhe Oregon legislature electa as senator the man chosen by the people, the people wilt have had their will, and that Is the object of a democratic form 'of government. The fact that members of one party are required by this process to put Into office a man of another party Is not an argument against it. These mem bers of the legislature arc public ser vants, and it Is their duty to heed the public's wishes when they are ex pressed so clearly as they were in this case. While this country Is not yet In a position to do away with party gov ernment, party government will al ways load to evil unless it is checked by an alert and vigorous spirit of In dependence. No party has ever yet had inordinate power without abusing It. It is to the abuses of partisanship that this country owes most of the vexing problems that beset It today, and partisanship offers the strongest resistance to the correction of these evils. The fathers formed a government by the people, but control of that government fell Into the hands of the parties, and until recent years brought the direct nomination system, the peo ple had no control of parties. They were controlled by rings, machines and bosses. These powers needed money to run campaigns with, and the big business interests contributed It. What more natural than that these leaders, Interested In party and per sonal success more than In their country's good, should have nianipu- lated the government In the Interests of those who supplied the campaign funds? The direct election of United States senators, either through constitutional amendment or by some such plan as Oregon has adopted. Is necessary In order to get the control of govern ment away from party machines and into the hands of the people. If the expression of the popular wishes re sults In defeat to the party In power, It Is because that party has deserved harm. The more party machinery we de stroy by putting the control of elec tions directly Into the hands of the people, the better the nation will be served. Destroying par'y machinery means good to It because It Involves cleansing out the maggots of bnsslsm tbat are fattening In the cheese. l'pnplo ho cftmplflln rtf tha de struction of parties by direct nomina tion and direct elections confuse the real party with the corrupt nests of parasites that get Into the party ma chine. Breaking up these nests does not harm the party; It purifies It. THE I5RYAX MACHINE It won't do for democrats to throw stones nt the republican political "ma chine" In future. The Bryan machine In the national democratic convention is the most powerful, tyrannical, com plete ever witnessed In operation In any political convention In the Unite, 1 States. i This editorial Is being written in the forenoon of Wednesday, July 8, short ly before the democratic national con vention at Denver will go through the formality of nominating Bryan. Ac cording to Bryan's managers, he will receive 1002 votes on the first ballot and no other name will be presented to the convention. He has swept aside all other demo cratic leaders; he has dictated, abso lutely, every phase of the platform; he has seated delegations, decided con tests, elected the temporary and per manent officials of the convention, and has controlled every detail of the convention with the Iron rule of a czar. Everything Is Bryan or It Is smoth ered out of existence. The great con servatives, Alton B. Parker, Henry Watterson, Judge Gray all have been eliminated from the democratic coun cils. Their lifelong experience and de voted fealty to the democratic party count for nothing In the whirlwind campaign of this Nebraskan auto crat. No matter how much alleged Inde pendence Is exhibited by scattering delegations, In the opening skirmishes of the convention. All these refrac tory bunches will be lassoed and "hog tied" hand and foot, and delivered in to the camp of the conquering hero of Lincoln, to decorate his third tri umphal march Into the democratic nomination for the presidency. This Is Bryan's day to howl. Here after let democratic papers and dem ocratic politicians cease to talk about the "republican machine." Land sales continue to be made at extraordinary prices In the Irrigated belt of Umatilla county. Although this season la not considered a part of the land buying period, usually, yet sales have not fallen off and new set tlers are taking up the excellent op portunities of the irrigated sections, every day. It promises to be the best year from the standpoint of land sales in the history of the country. WOULD WIPE OIT DEFICIT. When the parcels post question was under discussion In the recent session of congress Postmaster General Meyer sent a letter to Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania, which was afterward published In the Congressional Beeord, urging that authority be given to con duct an experimental parcel post on rural routes, as had been done origi nally with rural delivery, says the Spokesman-Review. He believed that if established in two or three counties It would demon slrate its worth better than verbal ar guments could. Congress, however, did not see fit to act on the sugges tion. The postmaster general wanted to prove that the rural parcels post would be beenflclal alike to the people, to the country merchants and to the gov ernment. He contended that the special local parcel post would tend to wipe out the postal deficit, and would eventu ally make the rural free delivery self sustaining, besides being a boon to the farmer and the retail merchant. Should an average of 50 pounds 'if merchandise be carried on each trip on the 3.000 rural routes It was esti mated that about $15,000,000 a year would be realized, and the net return to the government would be more than sufficient to equal the deficit. FRANCE TO OWN RAILROADS. Premier Clemencenu of France last week won his fight for nationalization of the French railroads. This radical measure for the purchase by the state of the railways, adopted by the chamber and strongly opposed in the senate, aroused the bitter hostility of all the conservative 'forces of France, the moderate republicans, the finan cial, Industrial and banking commu nities, the land owners and the cap italists. It was firmly predicted that not only the railways purchase bill but the cabinet Itself would be ship wrecked if a ministerial Issue were framed on the question In the senate. M. Clemenceau, acting against the advice of many of his firm supporters, boldly took the bull by the horns, and after one of the strongest speeches he ever made, gained the adoption of the measure in the senate. The Cle mnceau cabinet, having survived the crisis. now firmly In the saddle un til Parliament reassembles next Oc tober. INDIANS IlECOME MORMON'S. The Osage Indians In Oklahoma are rapidly embracing the Mormon faith, and if permitted by the government would soon emigrate to Mexico. The Osage alloting commission is making final divisions of lands at Pawhuska, the tribal capital. The filings will be made on an average of 25 a day, and by Novemberl every one of the 2200 Osages will be In possession of the last of his allotment. Each Osage will then have on an average of 800 acres. Resides his land each Osage has an interest In tribal funds vested with the federal government amount ing to several millions of dollars. It Is estamated that the wealth of each "sage Is at least $40,000, while num bers of them are worth much nmri. hundreds of thousands. As a race of people they are the ricln.-st in all th world. Ill RTH PLACE OF THE ICEBERGS We might call Greenland the world's Ice 1ox. If you glance at the man vnn will bpa that tha uiit rf I New York, large as it seems to u. Is not over one-twentieth of the size of Greenland for N'ew York contains only 47,000 square miles. Then think that the glaciers are steadily moving away from the cen ter of Greenland, really being crowd ed off the land, and it will not seem so strange that here Is the birthplace of nearly all of the Icebergs that are so feared by the mariner. St. Nich olas. 1 ALPHABET IX BIBLE VEBSEi In the twenty-first verse of the seventh chapter of Ezra can be found every letter of the English alphabet. It runs thus: "And I, even I, Artax erxes the King, do make a decree to all the treasurers which are beyond the river, that whatsoever Ezra the priest, the Hcribes of the law of God of heaven, shall require of you !t be done speedily." But, slll more wonderful. In the eighth verse of the third chapter of Zephanlah Is contained every letter Including finals, of the Hebrew lan guage. London Globe. CLIMBING THE LADDER. P.allmid earnings are, happily, mending rapidly. The worst week of the year, In fespect to the percentage of falling off as compared with last year, was at the end of April, when the decrease was 23.54 per cent. The first week of May showed a loss of 21.07, the second week 21.70, the third week 20.80, the first week of June 19.80 and the second week of June 19 per cent. The return to nor mal, though slow during that period, was rather remarkable, because of the large number of roads that were tied up by floods during that period. That we will soon have the earnings as large as they were last year is not Improbable, for crop moving time will swell receipts enormously. RearcJilng for Murder.

PURELY VEGETABLE GREATEST DF ALL TONICS Very few persons are able to pass the Spring season with any k-gree of physical comfort, without the aid of a tonic. Our systems hunge with the changing seasons, and more is required of the Mood, ro:n which source our bodies receive their nourishment and strength, t this particular season than at others. During the cold Winter months we do not exercise as freely as in .'.armor weather, the skin is not as active in removing the waste and cfuse matter, and the other avenues of drainage are dull and sluggish n their work. Thus the impurities which should pass off are left in he system, and are absorbed into the blood. V'lien Spring comes and all nature takes on new life, we change ;:r mode of living, and greater demands are made on the blood for i.iurishment and strength to enable us to meet the changed conditions, iut the Winter accumulations have polluted the blood and destroyed its jtriiive qualities to such an extent that it is not able to supply the roaseu noeus or tne system, ana v suffer in consequence. Our physical machinery seems . ;;:t "out of gear," and suffers 'r.; debility, weakness, nervous loss of appetite, etc. Sleep j iv.'t refreshing, there is a con :;.nt worn-out feeling, and we do ;.t f.-ei 0'iual to performing the ..!::ui7 duties of daily life.

S. S. S. is the best Spring and it is recognized as the in llvt Mivi.t niiriKcr. It is entirely of roots and herbs of the forests and fields, and as it does i it cdrit.'in the slightest trace of mineral in any form, is especially i;pt;d for a systemic remedy, and has the additional value of being irs.uf.ly safe for young or old. S. S. S. re-establishes the healthy : '.:btim of the blood, rids the body of that run-down, worn-out feel :vj, imprves the appetite and digestion, and brings about a return of and strength to those whose systems have been weakened and ; .?!; ted. S. S. S. acts more promptly and satisfactorily than any medicine, and those who are beginning to feel the need of a tonic ) jniry lhemselves against the unpleasant conditions which come with :.pn;i. shuuld commence its use at once. Not only will it tone up .he .-'.v.eni, but it will remove any humor from the blood, and prevent m outbreak of Eczema.

ABSTEMIOrS BARTENDERS. Chicago has a novel organization In the Bartenders' and Salonkeepers' Total Abstinence society, which Is now said to have two thousand members. Many saloonkeepers In the Windy City, It Is reported, are bound by an agreement not to employ men who drink. While N'ew York grog sellers have no such society and no such agreement, so far as the public has ever heard, all the better class of drinking places strictly enforce rules against employes drinking while on duty, and there are scores of bartend ers who never drink a drop of the liquids they dispense. The hfid drink mixer In n down town safe an expert on liquors of all kinds has been In the business for ordeal with safer. No woman who uses Mothers friend need fear the suffering ' ncident to birth; for it robs the ordeal of its dread and insures safetv to life of mother and child, leaving her in a condition more tavorable to speedy recovery. The child is also healthy, strong and good natured. Oar book, "stottrtthood," will b seat fr by writing to BRADFIELD REOULAIOH OO. Afsusta, Om.
