Who tries the loftiest themes,

Who tells his simplest dreams!

Who will take his heart and

NATIONAL PARK FOR BAKER.
The Spokesman-Review says of the
commendable efforts of Baker City
business men to secure a national
park In the Eagle mountains of Ba
ker county:
A number of business men of Ba
ker City, Ore., all of them staunch
believers In the preservation of the
natural scenic .beauties of the country. 1
have embarked in a praiseworthy en
deavor to have the federal govern
ment establish a national park In a
portion of the forest reserve on Eagle
creek.
This section Is about 40 miles
from Baker City and Is noted for its
beauty. Professor H. B. Smith, a ge
ologist, has recently returned from
the reserve and he is, perhaps, di
rectly responsible for "the movement
now on foot His trip was made to
Investigate reports of fossil forma
tions found there, and on his return
he proved the stories true by bringing
with him nearly half a ton of fossils.
Professor Smith says that he has
found positive proof that In this sec
tion there was at one time a great In
land sea, and that the springs, streams
and vegetation are worth the long
trip.
In presenting their argument for a
national park, the Baker City men
are urging that within a short time
the Eagle Crek railroad will be com
pleted, giving easy access to the park.
As it Is already In the national re
serve. It Is believed that it will not
be difficult to transform it. Into a na
tional park, which shall forever be
kept for the pleasure of the American
people. Their effort for the preser
vation of one of the beautiful spots of
the northwest is commendable.
ARE RAILROADS IN NEED?
The persistent claim of President
Ripley of the Santa Fe, and Vice Pres
ident Brown, of the New York Cen
tral, that freight charges must be in
creased or the wages of the railway
employes reduced. Is somewhat amaz
ing in the light of the official figures
of the Increase in earnings shown by
the railways during the fiscal year
ending June 20, 1S07.
President Ripley plainly told the
Chicago Association of Commerce that
freight rates would have to go up be
cause the railways needed the money.
Vice President Brown told the Chi.
cago Shippers association that freight
rates must go up or railway employes
suffer a cut in wages. The dominant
note in each address plainly implied
that the railways were . the masters
of the situation, with no redress on
the part of shipper or receiver.
When it Is considered that the re
port of the interstate commerce com
mission, for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1908, shows that the rail
ways increased their passenger reve
nue 154,673,760, over the preceding
fiscal year; their revenue from the
mails 13,007,611 ;thelr revenue from
express companies' 16,332,001; their
net earnings from other sources $61,
701.(11, and with their net earnings
per mile of road operated rising from
HIM, In 1901, to $1548 in 1907, and
to I3MI during the fiscal year end
ing June 10, 1901, and, finally when
It is considered that the official fig.
urea show an allotment of $449,411,.
Ill as Available for surplus, the plea
of President Ripley that "freight rates
must go up because the railways need
the money becomes a plea bordering
en the ridiculous, and so dors the
threat of Vice President Brown.
There is but one solution of the
question of tran? portatlon but one
remedy far the arbitrary actions of
the railways. That solution and that
remedy are In the Improvement of the
waterways of the country.
With their improvement on the
policy of the national rivers and har
bors congress, embodying a fixed ami
definite plan, continuous In Its oper
atlons and with annual appropriation
for the work, adequate In amount.
there would come not only continuous
and cheap avenues of transportation,
but a freight regulator which not
even the railways of the country could
defy, while producer, shipper and re
ceiver would reap the benefits.
SPAN OF A WOMAN'S T.1FE.
Before the last report of the com
missioner of pensions, Rhoda Augusta
Thompson, the last pensioner who was
a daughter of a soldier In the revolu.
tlonary war, passed away In her 87th
year, says an exchange. There are still
living two women pensioners, grand
daughters of soldiers In the conti
nental army.
In this woman's life she saw many
changes. Since when, as a tiny girl,
she sat at her father's knee and heard
the stories of how the country became
free, revolutions In Industrial and so
cial life have changed conditions al
most past belief.
The stage coach gave way to the
steamboat and railroad train, the
spinning wheel and loom to the great
factories run by machinery, the tallow
candle and the whale-oil lamp to gas
and electricity. The great unknown
west has been settled by people who
use as necessary to life things which
were either not Invented or were lux
uries. Then, a narrow strip along the At
lantic coast, bounded by the sea and
the unknown wilderness, with a popu
lation scattered and poor, was the
(United States. Today the. country
9tretcnes from Ma to sea and over It
the sun never sets.
Then there were a few feeble states,
bound in a loose federation; today, a
nation of the first rank, with common
Interests, common traditions, looking
forward to a future more brilliant
than we dream. In fact, we have
stopped even wondering what will
ccme to us, we are so busy, getting
ready for it.
In her childhood, teaching, and that
only of very small children, was the
only vocation of women, outside the
home.
She lived to see, first the high
school, then the college, open wide Its
doors to the Insistent waiters. Mrs.
Sommervllle and Maria Mitchell wak
ened the love of science. Emma Wll
lard at Troy and Mary Lyon at Mount
Holyoke, made possible, 50 years la'
ter, Vassar and Wellesley.
She saw her sisters engage In the
struggle for the freedom of the slave
in the south and later the' slave to al
cohol, till their victorious banners
waved on the very strongholds of the
enemy.
And If she had lived one year long
er she might have heard Daniel ' F.
Cohalen of Tammany In the demo
cratic national convention at Denver,
in the year of our lord, 1908, begin
with: , , ,
"Ladles and gentlemen of the con
vention." Only a word added, but It
was the first recognition of the pres
ence of women In the great national
conventions. It will not be the last.
ANOTHER VIEW OF HARRIMAN'.
The San Francisco Star says of the
Harrlman-Gould struggle In the rail
road world:
The expected has happened. Har
rlman has swallowed the Gould lines
In the east because George Gould
could not get a beggarly $8,000,000
with which to pay some notes guar
anteed by Gould's Wabash system.
Thus the Harriman crowd controls
the Gould lines from the Mississippi to
the Atlantic. Therefore, the Gould
lines from St. Louis to the Pacific
coast will not make trouble for Har
riman. It is a "combination In restraint of
trade and of honest government.
Will the Western Pacific fight the
Southern Pacific In politic? Not
this year, nor next year.
We are not grieving that Harriman
has swallowed Gould. Let him go on
and swallow Hill and the other mo
nopolists the sooner the better. For
that will hasten the day of public
ownership of railroads. Harriman Is
showing us what monopoly of trans
portatlon means. He Is an advance
agent of evolution.
At the beginning of the last cen
tury the cost of running the govern
ment was about $1.60 per capita.
Now It Is) over $10 per capita, and
till going up. Of coarse, this means
an average tax of $26 or $10 on every
head of a family. People are ioe ta
tomed to look lightly on national
taxes, because they are not direct, but
nevertheless, they must come out of
the pockets of the masses.
The Portland Oregonlan Is making
a heroic effort to get the nightmare
of statement No. 1 out of Its mind.
The Oregonlan bus been so disloyal to
the masses of the voters of the repub
lican party that there Is no wonder '!
is "scared" at this "unsubstantial
shadow."
If It costs $230,000 to bring int
Pendleton a fine supply of mountain
water, It will be money well spent and
the water system wj'l pay for itself,
a remarkable feature In ordinary mu
nlcipal Investments.
SONG OF THE PILGRIM SOUL.
March on, my soul, nor like a laggard
stay!
March swiftly on. Yet err not from
the way
Where all the nobly wise of old have
trod.
The path of faith made by the sons o
God.
Follow the marks that they have set
beside
The narrow, cloud swept track, to be
the guide;
Follow, and honor what the past has
gained.
And forward still, that more may be
attained.
Something to learn, and something to
forget;
Hold fast the good, and seek the bet
ter yet.
Press on, and prove the pilgrim hope
of youth
The creeds are milestones on the road
to truth.
Henry Van Dyke.
VANILLA VERSUS VANILLINE.
in reference to a proposed petition
by French colonists to the home gov
ernment for protection against "va
nllline," which threatens their vanilla
Industry, Consul Julius D. Dreher, of
Tahiti, Society Islands, has complied
the following from French colonial
publications:
The consumption of vanllline In
France Is 66,000 pounds per annum,
and of vanilla 132,000 pounds, but the
amount of vanllline consumed equals
In strength 6,600,000 pounds of va
nlla, while the world's production of
vanlla Is only 1,221.000 pounds. The
132.000 pounds of vanilla consumed
In France pays the government a duty
of $24,125, while vanllline pays noth
ing.
Considering the strength of vanll
line and Its decreased price, as a re
suit of Improved methods of manu
facture It has fallen from $6.85
pound In 1876, to $3.33, Its present
crlcp. and as it is claimed that a
pound of vanllltne is equal In power
as a perfume to 100 pounds of vanilla.
It Is now cheaper to use the chemical
for vanllline is wholly a chemical
production, without any vanilla what
ever In Its composition.
The French colonists, who produce
more than one-half the world's pro
duction of vanilla, do not ask their
government to prohibit the use of va
nllline; they only ask that its fraud
ulent use be prohibited by law.

many.
Consul H. J. Dunlap, of Cologne,
states that the report of the bureau
of meat Inspection for the German
empire for the first quarter of 1908,
shows the following numbers of anl
males slaughtered for domestic con
sumption during that period: Horses,
mules, etc., 35,987; oxen, 138,913;
bulls and steers, 107.860; cows, 420,-
753; heifers. 212.612; calves, 1.149,
342; hogs, 4,418.214; sheep, 446,180;
goats, 126,936. These figures do not
Include all the animals killed, for
many are butchered-on farms and the
carcasses sold, which are not subject
to official Inspection. Compared with
former years, the showing la a consld.
erable increase. Prices for livestock
have remained about stationary,
though in various districts, owing to
local supply and demand, there have
been small variations In price, In gen
eral perhaps a slight Increase.
Lw Beef and More Bawn Sent to
England.
The London Meat Trades' Journal
figures that the United Kingdom Im
ports of American and Canadian cattle
show an 18 per cent decrease for the
first five months of this year, com
pared with last year, and 29 H per
cent with 1906. The American ship
ments of refrigerated beef fell off
404,479 hundredweight (or 112 pounds
each) compared with the 1907 period,
while the total Increase of $0,889 was
due to the heavy consignments from
Argentine. A substantial increase of
337,238 hundredweight in the weight
of bacon Is due to the heavier ship
ments from the United States, the
supplies from Canada and other coua-
tries being less.
Agricultural Activity in Canada.
A press report from Toronto esti
mates a wheat crop for this season
of 125,000,000 bushels for the three
prairie provinces of Manitoba, Saskat
chewan, and Alberta ,or nearly 60 per
cent larger than In any former year.
The grass yield Is also heavy, and the
dairy sales Increasing.' It adds that
the factories In eastern Canada are
more active than they were several
months ago, but that if they are to
have ready by fall all the goods that
the agricultural prosperity will re
quire they will have to get more ma
chinery to work.
Owing te the Increased activity In
building operations at Corvalll, the
owners of the sawmill at that place
have made arrangements to greatly
Increase the capacity of their plant.
This was one ef the first towns in the
state to go "dry."

A SOXG OF STARS.
Where the sky and mountain meet,
Twilight walks with timid feet,
Stepping as If half afraid
That If any sound were made
Early stars might fade away
From the purple edge of day,
Telling other stars; and so
Sheep might wander to and fro,
Travelers unllghted roam,
Ships sail wide of shore and home,
And the earth, in sore distress.
Pine In gloom and loneliness.
Where the mountain meets the sky,
One star hangs Its lamp on high;
Down the lane a country lad
Whistles some sweet maid Is glad!
Two stars, three stars, four, and lo,
All the heavens are aglow!
Sheep-bells tingle near the fold,
Pilgrim feet again are bold;
Foam-wet, shore-set, silver sails
Dip and dance to home-bound gales;
Earth exults, for nothing mars
Twilight's miracle of stars!
