Bl'SIXESS IS BETTER. At this, the beginning of th-. second month of prohibition In Umatilla county, the East Oregonian is proud t- say that Its" business and the busi ness of Pendleton In general Is excel lent, better, perhaps, than In former months of July when every merchant expects a slight slump In business. The advertising patronage of the East Oregonian was never better In the summer months; Its subscription list Is bigger and more permanent to day than ever In Its history and It Is doing more Job work and is enjoying a wider field and has more Influence and publishes more news today than ever before. It was not afraid of prohibition be fore election and Its courage has been vindicated since election. Pendleton Is on the way to a better business era than has ever yet blessed her, not withstanding the excellent record of the past and the East Oregonian ex pects to share that better era to the fullest extent. This paper Is sincerely gratified at the results and while it regrets that anybody should have suffered by tha radical change, yet it believes that evfry man who stays In Umatilla county will recover his loss ten fold. PROGRESSIVE OREGON.' The Spokesman-Review pays a high compliment to Oregon's progressive spirit in the matter of irrigation. Oregon Is taking the lead in Irriga tion In the we.t. Although the needs a more modern Irrigation law, yet In a practical way she Is going ahead with a vigor that Is worthy of her people. The Ppokane "paper says: Twenty years ago an Irrigation pro ject down In the Willamette valley of Oregon would have beer regarded with amazement and ridicule. It would have seemed like "carrying coals to Newcastle" for the United States government to carry through an irrigation project in rain-drenched western Oregon. But the public conception of Irri gation has so altered within recent years that the undertaking Is now ac cepted as a matter of course and the farmers of the Willamette valley are closely watching the results of the ex periment. An Irrigation engineer for the United States has JuBt finished putting water out of a branch from Dairy creek on 50 acres of land northwest of Hillsboro, in Washington county. That district Is one of the oldest settled parts of the Pacific northwest. It was shipping wheat to California at the time of the gold rush in 184. and it would be difficult to find any where In the United States a section that is better watered by nature. If this experiment should meet with favor, as seems altogether probable, the boast so often made will become truer than ever than "crops never fall in Oregon." WHO IS RESPONSIBLE? The report of Recorder Fit Gerald shows that for the month of June there were 20 fine from the Under loin district In Pendleton and that In July there were but 17 such fines. That the saloon and the saloon ele ment fosters, supports and protects the social evil, is undeniable. That the social evil follows after and thrives only on saloons and saloon In fluences,' Is also undeniable. In one month under' prohibition, rondlctou has been fid of nearly 60 per cent of her social evil. Within three or four months, the entire dis trict will have boon practically wiped out. Then who Is responsible ' for the social evil? Judging from Pendleton's brief ex perience under prohibition, when you get rid of the saloon and the saloon crowd you will kill the social evil, also. Let us place this responsibility where It belongs, on the liquor traf fic. LET REPUBLICANS ACT. The Sunday Oregonian complains that democrats "stuffed" the primary ballot boxes In Oregon at the election Just passed and therefore thwarted the will of the republican party In the state. Because of this alleged bal lot box stuffing" the Sunday Oregon ian condemns the entire primary law. The Oregonian reminds the East Oregonian of the Arkansas boy's new 'coon dog. He paid a fancy price for a 'coon dog and expected great results. A friend asked him how the dog "worked" and he replied In supreme disgust: "Well, her's a hell of a fine looker, but her won't tackle the 'coon; her jlst stands off -and barks. It's a mighty high price to pay for nuthln but barkin'." The Oregonian "Jlst stands off and barks"; why don't the Oregonian and the republican legislature "tackle the 'coon"? Why don't, they remedy the primary law? They will be Justified by the people of Oregon In any honest effort to remedy this law. If there Is a way to compel democrats to vote for dem ocrats and republicans to vote for re publicans In the primaries, let us have It. Let us make the law what It U Intended to be, an honest vehicle of party action. But the legislature will not be Jus tified in "cutting the hamstring" of the primary law, as many of the pol iticians wish to do. The law may be improved, but not crippled. It may bo made more effective, but the peo ple will stand for no "doctoring." The legislature is republican and the state Is republican and any honest effort to make the law what the people Intend ed It to be will be welcomed and sup ported. But under the present law, Incom plete as It may be, parties may carry out their wishes, If party loyalty is strong. But It Is no more sin for dem ocrats to vote for republicans in the primaries than It Is for republicans t ) vote for democratic candidates in the general election. Let us quit "barkin' " and "tackle the 'coon." U. OF O. VOTE ANALYZED. Max Burgholzer, an election sta tistlcs specialist, who has given the recent general election and its results In Oregon some extensive study and Investigation, declares that the small majority of 2631 votes given the University of Oregon appropriation, due to the fact fhat every church de nomination In Oregon has a college or academy of Its own, and that there fore practically the bulk of the church vote went against the university ap propriation. This Is a somewhat severe arraign ment of the churches and the East Oregonian cannot believe that It is wholly true. Certainly the churches are not against the great public educational Institutions of the state? It would be most unfortunate to find such a "line up" of sentiment In Oregon, with other states united on the subject of public education. It would mean the undermining of Oregon's public school system. And who would wish to be responsible for such a public calamity? Trade marks should be ambiguous and at the same time suggestive, says the Spokesman-Review. A good em blem for the beef trust would be a spiral shell. People wouldn't know whether It stood for a snail represent ing the poor man's progress toward prosperity, or for the horn of plenty of the trust officials. While yachting the other day th president ran down a schooner and didn't know It, but when Fairbanks ran down a cocktail the people wouldn't let him forget it. Some men are born great, some ac quire greatness and others get Inves tigated. Idleness is never a vacation. .MAKE WAY VOll PROSPERITY. Charles M. Schwab, chairman and president of the Bethlehem Steel company and former head of the United States Steel corporation, Wed nesday predicted a period of pros perity such as the country has not known for several years, says the Kansas City Star. Mr. Schwab recently relurned from Europe, where he studied trade con ditions and noted the pulse of trade. He said: "The financial panic was a ln-iilth'y check, and It will redound to bus iness Interest of the country. There Is nothing ahead but a period of prosperity. This Is being felt In trade circles today. The state of the stock market and commercial enter- prles Indicate that confidence has been restored. "In Europe the restoration of con- was quickly observed in iiniinumi centers. When I say tnat we are about to enter Into a state of unpre cedented prosperity It Is no Idle pre diction. There has been a revival of business Interests during the hottest of these weeks, which augurs well for aur future prospects. "This should be our largest year In exports, 1 Our great enterprises have been hustling for business and thev have been getting It, too. "I do not wish to discuss politics. and I do nt believe the political sit uation will have any effect on the wave of prosperity which Is rolling over us." MAKING UNCLE SAM'S WORD GOOD. (From Success Magazine.) General Tom Edgar, the first white child born on Galveston island (his birthday vas In June, 1837). was re turning from Galveston to Huston, where he had been an honored guest at the dedication f a tablet placed on the site of the first capltol of Texas, at Houston. We were seat mates In the smoking car. He told many amusing stories of the early days. Among others he narrated his ex perience as a Juror In the case of a negro on trial for stealing a mule. It was In 1865. while United States soldiers were still In charge at Gal veston. The negro pleaded not guil ty, but the testimony was pretty clear against him. His lawyer. Ignor ing the testimony, based his defense upon the assertion that the negro could not possibly, be guilty. '.'Is It not a fact.", he a!d, "that the federal government promised to every freedman two mules and sixty acres of land? No man can deny It. My client has not received his promised sixty acres of land. He has not received his promised span of mules. He has, indeed, got but one mule, as these witnesses have testi fied, and the United States still owea him another mule and sixty acres of land. I leave it to you. gentle men," he said, turning to the Jury, "If the facts do not prove conclusive ly that my client Is not guilty of steal. Ing this mule and can hot, under the circumstances, have been guilty." 'That argument," said General Ed gar, "tickled us so that we actually returned a verdict of 'not guilty.' I don't believe the darky ever did get the other mule and the sixty acres, but we did all we could to make Uncle Sam's word good." PRESERVING FRUIT. (Isabel Gordon Curtis in Success Magazine.) There are two methods of pre serving fruit; In one the fruit Is cooked In the cans, In the other It Is boiled In the sirup. The first method means slower work, but you thus re tain the flavor of the fruit also the fresh, delicious odor which vanishes when fruit is boiled. ' Before proceeding with either method see to the fruit cans. A careful housewife wishes them dur ing the year they are emptied, covers them and puts them awuy on a shelf to be in readiness for the pre serving season. Even then the yre qulre sterilizing before being used, for the bacteria floating everywhere In the atmosphere require only the slightest chance for lodgement to be gin fermentation. Still, with ordinary care, It Is quite easy to have fruit keep, even If you Jive In a hot southern climate. You have only to be sure that the can is perfectly clean and that It Is air tight. To make it so, put each can into a wash boiler of cold water, dis solving In It a little borax if you no tice dirt or a crust on the cans or their lids. To keep the cans from cracking, cover the bottom of the boiler with a framework or anything which keeps the glass from the In tense heat of the fire. Let the water Income slowly to a boll ,then continue at the boiling point for ten minutes. Set the boiler back on the stove, cover It and allow the cans to stand' In the water until they are needed. Rinse Ihem with fresh boiling water ,and they are then ready to fill. CONCENTRATION. Now here's the secret of concen tration In a word: "Make every de tail a work of art." Do everythlng"in the most occurate, artistic and effi cient manner. How well can you wrap up a paper parcel? How quick ly and neatly can you take a soiled pen out of the holder and replace it with a fresh one? How rapidly and accurately can you foot up a column of figures? Can you open a newly bound book in such a manner as not to injure the binding? And so on. No detail Is too trivial to be made a work of art Make It such. Study It out; do It in the best I mi Mvf i Aii nil IjI h v. Cures Coughs, Colds, and Lung Troubles.

"The Friend of Farmers and Stockmen" possible manner; make that manner of doing It a habit; and that is the natural, rational and easy way of gaining the power of concentration. In addition to this, special exercises In concentration are of much value. The following is one which I have found most useful. Count one hundred beginning with two and adding three each time, e. g. 2. 5, 8. 11, 14, 17. etc. Or begin ning with two add 6, 7, 9, 13 or 17 each time, e. g., 2, 8, 14, 20, 26. etc. one hundred subtracting each time 3, 6, 7, 9 and 13, e. g., 100, 97, 94, 91, 88, etc. Now, all this may seem quite sim ple. But unless you have already de veloped exceptional powers of con centration you will find it quite dif ficult nt first to hold the attention firmly to the task In hand. Another vnluable practice for con centration Is to procure a number of cards upon each of which you write these figures, as 374, 825. etc. Shuffle these cards face downward. Then take up a card, expose Its face for an Instant, then call out the figures you saw. When you can do this ev ery time with three figures, prepare some cards with four figures, as Et, and under that 73. Later you In crease the number of figures Indef initely, and you will soon be sur prised that your power to perceive and recall them. The sam plan may be followed by writing a list of words on the cards, beginning with two or three and grad ually working up to ten or fifteen. The skin fa not simply an outer covering of the body, but through iU thousands of pores and glands it performs the great and necessary work of regulating our temperatures, and also assists in disposing of the refuse and waste matters of the system by the constant evaporation that goes on through these little tubes. To perform these duties the tissues and fibres which connect and surround the pores and glands must be continually nour ished by pure blood.. When from any cause the circulation becomes infected with impurities and humors, it loses its strengthening powers and begins to disease and irritate the delicate tissues, and produces F.czeina, Acne, Tetter, or some other itching, disfiguring skin trouble. S. S. S. cures skin diseases of every kind by goinr down into the circulation and neutralizing and remov ing the impurities and humors. It changes tlie qunliiy of the blood from an icrid, fiery fluid to a cooling, health-producing stream, which, instead of irritating and inflaming the skin, cures and nourishes it by its soothing, healthful qualities. Salves, washes, lotions, etc., may be used for any tem porary comfort or cleanliness they afford, but skin diseases cannot be cured until S. S. S. has purified the blood.

ORIGIN OF SUNDAE, Many queries with regard to the origin of the word "sundae" have been made and a considerable number of theories about It. have been ex ploited, says the Salem Statesman. The mist popular one seems rather prosaic. Its locale Is reported to have been New Orleans, where a pro gressive but unlucky soda water dis penser found himself one bright and warm Sunday afternoon entirely out of carbonated water, with no chanco to renew his supply. There was a constant demand for his services, and, after repeatedly answering the em barrassing questions why ho was un able to produce the drinks, In despe ration he hurriedly mixed Ice cream and fruit syrups into a frozen concoc Hon which greatly delighted his cus tomers. During the following week days he had so many calls for "that Sunday recipe" that the Idea flashed over him that It would be a good thing to put It regularly on his bill of fare. A well meaning but uneducated clerk, who prepared the menu, did the trick of transforming "Sunday" Into "sundae," and the palate-tickler has remained "sundae" ever since. Read the East Oregonian.
