Is it to climb the heights Of infinite possibility in glori ous being: To explore creation on the wings of thought In quest of knowledge which alone can give At once the zest and crown of life dominion. Is It to climb the heights, but not alone. Nor with the few; but (lest ye die!) with all The teeming multitude that people earth. In helpful brotherhood and mu tual joy! He lives Ignobly and dishonored dies Whose base ambition robs the humblest soul; Diverting thus the life-stream of the race From its appointed course, while Virtue scorns The tainted title to his spurious fame. They only live in Heaven whose fame survives On earth, embalmed in loving memory They only whose fair names wax fairer still In the clear vision of advancing light. Time writes the epitaphs of men. And Justice, stern, unerring, guides the pen. , Edward Howell Putnam in The Public. TO MEET THE ISSUE. Assessor C. P. Strain of Umatilla county, is acting wisely in making up his assessment roll for the year with out entering the values of the assess ments. This will give him an oppor tunity to protect the taxpayers of the county no matter how the Galloway decision as to the unconstitutionality of the tax law is passed upon by the supreme court It may be that full valuations may be entered on the rolls without in Jury to Umatilla county property holders or It may ' be that a half, third or fourth valuation may be en tered. No matter how the supreme court decides, or what the situation after the case Is fairly decided, Uma tilla county people are protected and the county will pay but its Just and equitable share of taxes. Should Assessor Strain go ahead and enter full values with each assess ment, it might result in an excessive state tax for Umatilla county, but he is willing to perform the extra labor and take this extra precaution to ful ly protect the Interests of the coun ty. C. P. Strain Is an assessor that is an assessor. The taxpayers of the county owe him a debt of gratitude for his careful and honest adminis tration of this office which cannot be measured in dollars and cents. TO YOU, MR. FARMER. You are a resident of Umatilla county. You are Interested In the Umatilla-Morrow county fair. You have something which Is wanted a3 an exhibit. You are urged, com manded, In fact, to bring It In. You have one lone sow; you may have a dozen, half a dozen or even a trio of poultry, or may be a pair of ducks, geese or turkeys. You are urged to enter them for premiums and bring them In. You have a good dairy cow; you may have a good team, Bucking colt or driver. Bring them In and enter them in the fair. There is a premi um here for you. Your wife may have a picture, an article of needlework, a Jar of fine fruit, a fine bedspread, a fancy quilt. These are all parts of the products of Umatilla county and must not be overlooked. Bring them In. There Is a premium for them. You may have a special kind of fruit, a new kind of wheat, oats or barley. Bring It in. Your neigh bors will be interested and you ahould mako it known. Bring it 1" and place I: on exhibit and get a premium. The fair is educational and the county and state are paying out lrge sums to disseminate agricultural and hor ticultural information. Will you do your part In this great work. Every farmer lit the county could bring in one or a dozen sheaves of grain. This would be sufficient to make the pavilion a dream of beauty. And It would bo such a small matter. Just think of each fanner bringing In one sheaf of wheat. Every man's name could be placed upon his ex hibit and he would not only make an exhibit of his product, but he would help decorate. Think of this. It is up to you. The fair commission, the county court, the state are all doing their parts. But they cannot make a fair without the individual co-operation of the farm ers. You are the key to the success ful fair. If there Is anything you want to know write in to Secretary Thomas Fitz Gerald or President C. E. Roose velt of the fair commission. Send In for a premium list and study it up o you will know when and how to enter your exhibit. And then enter It. This is a home institution and the people must help make it go. You are the people. DR .COE ON CRIME. Dr. Henry Waldo Coe, editor of the Medical Sentinel of Portland, and member of the Furnlsh-Coe Irrigation company of this county, writes enter tainingly of the treatment of crime in the last Issue of the Sentinel. He calls crime a disease and advocates treatment of It on this basis. In his editorial article he says: The world has been so exceedingly busy during the past fifty years of ex ceptional development, that It has not been able to keep pace with the needs- of humanity in dealing with criminal life. Medicine and surgery have made great strides forward. The world of Invention has progressed as never In any preceding five decades. The patent office has been 'crowded with work in an unprecedented fash ion. Business methods have engaged the attention of .the best brains of the world. Railroad management, elec trical development, the work of the steam engine on sea and land these have been the great engines of pro gress the! have had the greatest amount of attention. Here and there men with exception al minds have taken time to write great poems, stirring plays, operas, symphonies, prose works, and some great pictures have been painted. Great performers on musical Instru ments have developed their skill; great singers have arisen to delight the busy men and women of the age. But alas ,the sickness of the criminal the sickness that makes him crimi nal has been unstudied. He has been caught and caged, when possible. Generally, he has gone unpunished. There Is something wrong with the mental process of a bright man who would rather commit crime than not. We all know men who. If they ex pended their skill In lines of honest endeavor, would make something for themselves and their families; but they would rather do wrong than right, and they drift Into the crimi nal class. The nation, which spends millions of dollars a year on Its criminals, could well afford to have a depart ment whose business It would be to study the disease of-crime. We need moral health officers, as well as the other kind. The science Is undevel oped. There is much in it that has never been ascertained, partly be cause the world has been too busy. The theologians have touched the outskirts of the question only. They have occasionally assisted In the good work of curing a man sick with crime, and have turned his energies Into useful channels. They have worked a kind of mental or spiritual cure on him. But no scientific efforts have been put forth that we have ever heard of, looking to an exhaustive treatise on the subject. The criminal usually does not want to be cured of his criminality. But Instead of permit ting him to go at large to commit more crime, as Is done with the penlf tentlary Inmate, when his term Is over, he should be cured of his crim inality If possible. The youth of the land who are af flicted with criminal tendencies, should be treated for their mental disease before they are given a chance to go forth and commit murder, burg lary, and the other crimes that a cer tain mental state seems to induce. WHY THEY COME TO PENDLETON There are scores of reasons why people with money come to Pendle ton and why they will always come here. Three prominent sheepmen from northern Montana, are In the city this week buying choice rams for use with their flocks. They come to Pendleton because It Is headquarters of all the leading sheepbreedera of Umatilla county. They get what they want here. Slu'cpbuyers corno here lit the spring and summer to buy feeders and range sheep because at Pendle ton tiny get the key to the sheep sit uation of eastern Oregon. Woolbuy eis make this tlu-lr headquarters dur ing the season because they get in touch with every sheepman in eastern Oregon from this city. People come hero for merchandise because they find the largest stocks In the state outside of Portland, and It pays to trade here. They come here fur school because It pays to come here to educate their families. They come here for farm supplies be cause It Is the farming Implement center of eastern Oregon. They come In re to buy railroad and steamer tickets because It Is the railroad cen ter of eastern Oregon. People will always come here for these reasons. Pendleton Is so situ ated In eastern Oregon that she will also hold the key to the commercial, banking, market and industrial situ ation of this vast tributary territory. No matter for prohibition or sa le ons, people will always come to Pendleton in Increasing numbers ns the populayon of the surrounding country Increases. And as the busi ness of the city Increases the facili ties which she will have to offer her patrons will increase and so from year to year there will be multiply ing reasons why people should and will come to this city. IX) BEGIN DRY FARMING. Prof. H. W. Campbell, originator of Campbell's dry farming system says In his magazine, the Scientific Farmer, of the time to begin dry farming: Someone asks when Is the proper time to begin preparation for use of the Campbell method of soil culture? Begin when you are ready. Begin as soon as possible. Begin just as soon as you understand what you are going to do and why. Begin when the soil needs attention, and that Is about all the time. No special season of the year is Just the one for, commencing opera tions, for It all depends upon the con dition of the soil and the general plan for farm work. 'The first step would obviously be different on corn ground and on wheat stubble. The character of the season has something to do with it. But as a general proposition It Is safe to say that the time to begin is right away. If your small grain Is ripe for the sickle then prepare to follow the binder wfth the disk and thus to gain a big advantage over nature. If your corn crop Is getting high, prepare to follow between the rows with some sort of soli stirring process and to put a stop to the waste of late summer. If you have a clover field to be turned under be ready to properly pulverize the soil and pack U down. Above all things do not make the mistake nf supp's'n th t t'i" ti.nr1 to begin with soil culture is when the crops are all harvested and you have leisurely taken time to consider what next. Begin right now. Nature does no v.-.ttlrg-. COMPOSITION OX PANTS. Pants are made for men and not for women. Women are made for men, and not for pants. When a man pants for a woman, and a wo man pants for a man, they are a pulr of pants. Such pants don't last. Pants are like molasses they nre thinner In hot weather, and thicker In cold. Men are often mistaken In pants; such mistakes nre breeches of promise. There has been much dis cussion whether pants Is singular or plural. Seems to us when men wear pants It Is plural, and when they don't wear any It is singular. Men go on a tear 'in their pants. and It Is all right; when the pants go on a tear it Is all wrong. If you want to make .pants last, make the coat first. THE FARMER AND THE TRAMP, A farmer, who was a deacon lis) the church and said grace before meals and held family worship' every even ing before retiring, hired a tramp to work In his fields. The tramp was Inclined to be pro fane, and while plowing when a root would strike his shins would vent his anger In an oath. The farmer pro tested. The obsequious tramp prom ised not to do so again, but when something got 'wrong with the har ness he unthinkingly swore again. The farmer again chlded him, whereupon the tramp said: "Deacon, you know I sometimes swear a little, and sometimes you pray, but God knows neither of us means anything by it." THE FASTEST STORY. An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotchman were one day arguing as to which of the three countries pos sessed the fastest trains. Said the Englishman, "Well, I've been In one of our trains and the tel egraph poles have been like a hedge." "I've seen the milestones appear like tombstones," said the Scot. "Be Jabbers," said Pat, "I was one day In a train in my country and we passed a field of carrots, a field of turnips, a field of parsley, one of on ions and then a pond of water, and we were going so fast I thought It was broth!"

E fforts to heal the ulcer by means of salves, plasters and other external remedies always result in failure.because such treatment can have no possible effect on the blood, where the deadly germs and morbid matter form, and are carried through the circulation to the place. No sore or nicer can exist without a predisposing internal cause, and the open, discharging ulcer or festering old sore will continue to eat deeper into the surrounding flesh as long as a polluted, germ-infected circulation discharges Its impur ities into it. S. S. S. goes to the fountain-head of the trouble, and drives out the germ-producing poisons and morbid impurities which keep the ulcer open. Then as this rich, purified blood a , goes to the diseased place tne neanng oegins, f C"' 07 6,1 discharge ceases, the inflammation grad V2IV ? ually leave9 neT tissue and healthy flesh 6 Cif CSO are formed, and soon the sore is perma- tlv cured. S. S. S. is made entirely of PURELY VEGETABLE roots and herbs of a healing, cleansing nature, and unlike mineral medicines, which often do great damage to the delicate parts of the system, S. S. S. tones up every part of the body. Boole on Sores and Ulcers and any medical advice desired free. SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA. VALUE OF TRAINED ANIMALS. Barnum used to say that only one elephant, lion or monkey In six which he purchased brought him any profit, and other showmen make similar complaints. The most aggravating part of the business is, however, that often when an animal has been trained, seems to be thoroughly used to foreign- clim ates and Is repaying some of the money his owner has spent on Its pur chase and rearing If suddenly dies. ' Take the case of Consul, for in stance, Mr. Bostock's remarkable chimpanzee, which died some time ago In Berlin. This animal was In sured for $125,000 and was earning from $500 to $750 a week when It died. Furthermore, Mr. Rostock had honked contracts for It to appear at a price of $1500 per week. Luckily, Mr. Bostock was able to discover two other exceptionally fine specimens of the chimpanzee tribe, which he named Consul I and Consul must na5s is sn fmurht 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 paised without any daneer. This remedy is applied externally, and has carried thousands of women through the cri6isTT, with but little suttenng. Writs for book containing Information of tsIm to sll expectant mothers.

Consul II Is generally booked at $360 per week, while Esau, another of Mr. Bostock's wonderful chimpanzees, appears at $400. These animals are most difficult to rear, elephants, tigers and lions, which cost anywhere from $1000 to $2500 each, being also very suspectl ble to climatic changes. They fully repay the care and attention which must be bestowed upon them, how ever.
