No wr.ithful wrecks of yester-
day
Shall shut the sunlight from
my face;
Nor bar my. upward-climbing
way
Nor trammel me In my soul-
race.
Done deeds are dead. Let those
who will
Falter and fall before old
ghosts;
For me the sweet, exultant thrill
Of marching with the con-
querlng hosts.
4
For me no dreaming doubtful
dreams.
Nor pondering on goal defeat.
Before me lies the road which
glaims
With all Its triple-millioned
feet.
That bravely strive unceasingly
To reach that far tall-towered
height.
Whereon the sun shines daz-
slingly
And where there is no bitter
night. 4
No hand may help, no word
may cheer,
But by whatever Gods there
be
Within my heart there lurks no
fear,
And I shall wrest the victory!

WHERE X)IP HE GET IT?
Rev. Andreas Bard of Walla Walla,
Is out In an Interview in the Walla
Walla Bulletin saying that during a
recent visit to Oregon he was able to
secure all the "booze" he desired In
a "dry" town of this state. He de
clares that all that was necessary for
him to do to secure any quantity of
whiskey was to make It known that
he was "all right" and the booze was
forthcoming, at double price, as a
rare luxury now.
Now the East Oregonian Is going
to ask Rev. Bard a few pointed ques
tions, as one citizen to another.
If Rev. Bard secured whiskey In a
"dry" town in Oregon he is a party to
lawbreaking In Oregon. Why did he
do It?
If he knows where whiskey is sold
In prohibition territory In Oregon, Is
It not his duty as a common citizen,
much more a minister of the gospel,
to Inform the officials and stop the
practice?
Does Rev. Bard wish to encourage
lawbreaking by patronizing the blind
pigs and keeping their whereabouts
a secret?
Will he inform the officers of the
law In Oregon where this "blind pig"
Is located?
What will he do when Washington
goes "dry"? As he did in Oregon?
WHO HAS CHANGED FRONT?
Frank Davey, editor of the Harney
County News, and one of the leading
republican politicians of Oregon, says
of the division of the republican party
and Its change of front on the popular
election of United States senators:
In 1895 and 1898 the leading men
who are the loudest now In the abuse
of Bourne and others were the most
ardent advocates of the bimetallic
heresy, and they laid the groundwork
then for all the Ills which the party
has suffered since.
The same Influence operating In
Multnomah, Clatsop, Marlon and Lane
counties, followed up later with com
binations with the democrats whereby
legislative majorities were secured
and United States senators were elect
ed, and In 1901, thinking that the
tidal wave of popularity was flowing
In their favor, the same men placed
a law upon the statute books embody
ing In solemn legal text the full prin
ciples of statement No. 1, which now
appears so hateful to them.
Let us give a list of the state sen
ators who formulated n4 voted for
that law for the selection of United
States senators by popular vote, in or
der to Illustrate what we mean, and
it was the very first bill Introduced
that? session:
Adams of Marlon, Brownell of
Clackamas, Cameron of Jackson, Clem
(Horn.) of LlnnDlmmick of Coos,
Hunt of Multnomah, Inman (Pern.)
of Multnomah, Johnston of Wasco,
Josephl of Multnomah, Kelly of Linn,
Kuykendall of Lane, Looney of M;
Hon, M.irsters of Douglas, Mays (au
thor of the bill) of Multnomah, Mor
row (Pern.) of Morrow, Mulkey of
Folk, Porter of Clackamas, Proebstel
of Umatilla, Stelwer of Wheeler,
Sweek (Dm.) of Multnomah, Weh-
rung (Pern.) of Washington, William
son of Crook, and Mr. President (Sen
ator Fulton).
The only vote against Jhe bill was
John D. Daley of Benton, and every
one of the republican members above
listed except Cameron, Joseph!, John
ston and Mulkey were and are now
allied with the forces that are cursing
statement Xo. 1.
IWIK PKEMll'MS ATTRACTIVE.
The premium list for the Umatilla
Morrow county fair Is now out and
farmers, stockmen and manufactur
es of the district will find many offers
there to attract them to make their
best efforts.
The increased premiums for wheat
yields, livestock, diversified farming
products and other common commod
ities of the district should bring out a
magnificent display this fall.
What has been lacking In former
f.iirs, is a great big. appropriate dis
play of wheat. Strangers who have
visited the fair have looked for some
adequate display of threshed wheat
In Umatilla county, the boasted wheat
county of Oregon, but so far they
have failed to find It.
There should be tons of threshed
wheat In Jars, and Jars as big as bar
rels. People want to see wheat. They
have heard of Umatilla's wheat rec
ord but they have found nothing ade
quate In the fair displays.
Let us make the 1908 (air the big
gest, best and most attractive In the
history of the district. The resources
are here. The funds are available.
The pavilion Is appropriately and con
veniently arranged.
Let us bring the exhibit together
and surpass everything In the fair line
ever seen In eastern Oregon. It would
be an especially notable triumph for
Umatilla and Morrow county to hold
the best agricultural fair on this dry
year, when other sections of the coun
try are complaining of short crops and
diminished output of agricultural pro
ducts. HARNESSING THE WINDS.
Denmark, a low country lying be
tween two seas, has plenty of wind,
and It Is utilizing it on a scale that
has never been equaled before. Wind
mills have been used for time out of
mind to pump water and to grind
grain.
Their appropriation to the unlimit
ed power rushing by them has been
restricted, as it has not been possible
to store the power or to combine ef
fectively the force of several wind
mills or make the hurricane's surplus
energy do duty In days of calm.
Those defects are cured by convert
ing the wind power Into electricity and
equalizing its use through the storage
battery. Denmark Is takirrg advan
tage of this to convert Its wind power
Into electric power for commercial
purposes.
It is stated that-a wind of 15 miles
an hour will produce eight-horse pow
er, and that a 20-mile gale will devel
op 18-horse power. As the power of
many windmills can be concentrated
and made to serve a Bingle plant,
there is Infinite possibility In this re
source In any section blessed with fre
quent winds of considerable force.
The United States has abundant
wind-swept territory. The seashores,
prairies and highlands everywhere
have an unlimited supply of this force.
It can be converted Into electric
power and combined and stored for
use as readily here as In Denmark.
The utilization of this wind power
would lessen the drain on our dimin
ishing wood and coal supplies, and
supplement the water power as a
means of furnishing the land with
electric energy for commercial pur
poses.
BILLIONS IN SWAMPS.
If it was both good statesmanship
and good business to annex far-off,
frozen Alaska at a cash outlay of
$7,000,000, what Is to be said of a
plan that will add to the very heart
of the national domain lands that,
measured In productive capacity,
equal the combined arable areas of the
fertile states of Ohio, Indiana and Illi
nois for an Investment of nothing -t
all?
If it paid to wait many years for
returns upon that Investment in the
northwest, how much more profitable
will It be to receive an Immediate In
come of more than a billion a year
from the home enterprise? So writes
C. F. Carter In the Technical World
Magazine.
These conundrums have been pro
pounded to the congress In the guise
of several bills providing comprehen
sive plans for the drainage of the
swamp lands of the country by the
national government at the ultimate
expense of the settlers thereon.
According to the estimates of the
geological survey there are 78,47.1.700
acres of swamps and overflowed lands
In the United States. Unofficially
some engineers express the opinion
that upon actual measurement the i
swamps will be found to cover a hun
dred million acres. ,
With this Introduction, Mr. Carter
writes a striking article on the recla
mation work, in progress and pro
posed, which Is one of the most im
portant features of work by the gov
ernment of this country today. The
story Is Intensely Interesting and Is
well illustrated.
With harvest wages as high as ever
and the cost of living somewhat re
duced, there should be no free soup
houses maintained for the Idle work
ingmen of the coast cities next winter.
A man who will work can earn enough
money In the next 90 days In Umatilla
county to keep him until next harvest,
with the saloon eliminated from his
list of luxuries.
SOUTH IS GOING DRY.
Lay the Jest about the Julep In the
camphor balls at last.
For the miracle has happened and
the olden days are past;
That which made Wllwaukee famous
doesn't foam In Tennessee,
And the lid in Alabama Is as tight as
can be;
And the comic paper colonel and his
cronies well may sigh.
For the mint Is waving gaily, and the
South la going dry.
By the hillside In Kentucky, all Is
still,
And the only damp refreshment must
be dipped up from the rill,
North Car'llna's stately governor
gives his soda .glass a shove.
And discusses local option with the
South Car-Una Gov.
It is useless at the fountain to be
wlnkful of the eye,
For the cocktail glass Is dusty and
the South Is going dry.
It Is water, water everywhere, and
not a drop to drink.
We no longer hear the music of the
mellow crystal clink
When the colonej and the general and
the major and the Jedge
Meet to have a little nip and to give
appetite an edge
For the eggnog now Is nogless and
the rye has gone awry.
And the punchbowl holds carnations
and the south Is going dry,
Selected.
THE WINE OF THE HILLS.
Of all the drinks I ever knew,
From Chateau wines to shandygaff.
From soft cream ale fresh from the
Brew,
Or champagne full of life and
laugh;
Whate'er their kind or vintage be;
However nutty, old or rare,
There's none that so entrances me
As good, crisp, fresh-brewed moun
tain air!
The bouquet of the tapering pine.
Aroma of the wooded mount,
As clear as was the crystal wine
From Horace's Banduslan fount!
And oh, the Joy when from my bed
I rise when morn succeeds the rout
To find, although I have a head,
'Tis not the kind you read about!
