This world Is brimming with duty That ever speaks silently. Beauty and duty when found, Make of this earth holy ground. Encircling;, enfolding all beauty, This world Is brimming with love; Transmuting, transfiguring duty With radiance and light from above. Feauty. Duty and Love! Blest trio, with light from above!

The oung Maiden, rich In beauty and at. tractive charms, is struggling to be free, making piteous appeals to her captor for her liberty. Put the Big Savage only smiles and holds her In his iron embrace. She Is now his propf r:y and he will not give her lib erty a.- long as he can safely claim her. But ail about the retreat of the Big Savag- "something is doing." A live ly bunch of gallant young fellows are striving to five the maiden, and it is a'.most certain that they will In time wrest her from the embrace of the Creit Savage. On every side the activities of the rescuers may be seen. The progress toward the far retreat of the Big Savage may be slow at first, but with in a V-rt time the Mai.l-n. Central Oregon, will have been rescued from her captor. Every day's progress shows that within a few years the rich territory of Central Oregon is sure to be reach ed by independent railroad lines and then the rich booty now held by Har riman will be taken from his grasp and Central Oregon will be given her liberty. Ilarriman could hold the trade of that vest rich district for all time to come if he would only give the peo ple ad'uate transportation facilities. But if he does not do so. others will, and before he is aware, one of his most resourceful districts will have slippe 1 from his grasp. Such a rich territory as this will not long remain unnrr npied. MOW PIXCIIOT "GOT EVEN." The forest service comes back strong ;ig.iinst its critics in the house and senate In a press bulletin Just is sued and one that is backed up by an opinion of the attorney general, by the way. At the last session of congress, the lawmaker threatened to cut down the appropriations for the service be cause of the so-called "press agency" which Chief Forester Pinchot had been conducting In connection with the forest work. It was frequently charged thatj ths service maintained a corp of expert writers, former newspaper men, and editors, who wrote nice little puffs, advance notices, etc., telling what a great organization the forest service, was, what a pile of good It did the public, what a great man Gifford Pinchot was, and what rascals those men were who opposed the forest pol icy. To prevent this the lawmakers In. eerted a "Joker" In the appropriation bill, apparently shutting out the "agency" completely. But the foresters were resourceful. They turned to Attorney General Bonaparte, and now flourish In the face of carping critics his official opinion that the news bureau (they call it the bureau of Information down at the service) Is perfectly legiti mate and rlglit. Congress thought It had stopped all the "press bulletin service'' of that branch, but with the attorney goner al's opinion, the forest service Is go ing right on, Issuing a bulletin nearly every day with all sorts of Informa tion, from how to cut down a tree to how much alcohol may lie extracted from a pine wood chair. Congress Is likely to become recon ciled to the publicity work of the for est service. Every branch of the gov eminent has some sort of a press agency for dissemination of Informa tion the only trouble is that the forest service has gone a step further and organized the agency so well that I Is now in the highest form of effi ciency, so far as distribution of news Is concerned. PlKHiUESS IX MONTANA. Montana Is the first state to take x hint from the recent congress of governors, and make a move to pro serve her natural resources. It is a tribute to her progressive spirit to publish this fact. Montana has been perhaps more, greatly abused by the corporations than any other western state. Her mines have been cornered, her timber wealth wasted, her coal taken from the people by the corporations, her ranges monopolized, her water sources devastated and her natural beauty mured by the selfishness of big syndicates. Now she hastens to rreserve the runn.ints for posterity. It is fitting that Montana should be the first to begin to save her natural wealth for posterity. Although she has yielded billions to the greed of her mining and land syndicates, yet she possesses billions more to give in future. So have all the western states. A state commission has been ap pointed to co-operate with the nation al congress of governors recently or sonized upon the suggestion of Tres k'ent Roosevelt, for the preservation of the natural resources of the nation. When will Oregon take this stop? Will she take it? Where is Governor Chamberlain's state commission? FASHION'S LATEST TOKTIKE. The tyrant. Fashion, has her pun ithments and tortures for mankind, nc . . h.m Prejudice and Hatred. Only '. accept the chastisements of Fasir :; with a sweet submission which would go far toward making us genuine martyrs in any really good cause. The last triumph of Fashion in conceived punishment for her idola trous devotees, is the feat of "plant ing" new eyelashes into the eyelids. Faris dispatch describes this excru ciating performance as follows: "Planting" eyelashes is the latest terture which women endure for beauty's sake. The operation, which Is 'very delicate and painful.' Is thus described in the Paris Health Jour nal. "A long hair Is singled out of the patient's head. A needle Is threaded v. ith it and forced in and out of the skin along the edge of the eyelid." forming a series of loops. These loops are then cut at the extremities and the rows of lashes thus obtained are curled upwards with curlers. "When the operation Is finished the patient has to spend 12 hours with an oiled bandage over the eyes. The pro cess for the manufacture of eyebrows is similar." SOME AUGUST POIXTEKS. Campbell, the dry farm professor, gives these suggestions for August: Before August has ended be sure that you have all your fields well pro- t eted from the destructive effect of moisture sucking winds. Have the surface loose and the subsoil well packed. Don't let the soil In your stubble field dry out. Keep a soil mulch for protection. After every rain go over the ground and force the water down Into the deep earth. You'll need it some timif Remember In the month of August that you are already getting ready for next year's crop. The disk Is one of the most useful machines if It is used rightly, and August Is the month to make most excellent use of It. The restlessness of humankind is one of the most fascinating of studies. When the struggling farmer on one of the remote outsklrU of the county feels that he can leave the farm he moves to Helix, Pilot Rock, Echo or elsewhere. For a few years he Is sat isfied there until he grows more wealthy when he moves to Pendleton. Then when he grows more wealthy and crave a larger sphere he moves on to Portland. It Is a sort of per petual motion of ambition. Thinking of that city park which Pendleton Is to enjoy at some remote period In the future is one of the most pleasant occupations of her ardent admirers. INCREASING WATER FLOW OF SNAKE RIVER. The volume of the Snake river, th great Irrigating urtnry of Idaho, has been augmented through an engl neerlng project that connects It with the extreme northern portion of Fre mont county. The following, from the Idaho Falls Register, gives some Interesting facts; On Suudny morning the headgates of the Henry's Lake reservoir were opened and 2000 second feet of water turned Into Snake river. This water Is for the benefit of the Twin Fall country and cannot be taken out above there. Stations have been located at va rious points and the river guaged ami all water masters have been Instruct ed to arrange their headgites so that no greater amount of water would pass through them than has been passing through under the present stage of the river. This L'OOO second feet means about 100,000 miners, inches and will make a difference of about one foot In tha river at this point. It Is expected It will reach here sometime tonight or tomorrow morning, it requiring about six days for It to reach the Twin Falls country. Snake river is undoubtedly one of the most peculiar streams In tiie country. It was expected that the water would be so low that it would be nearly dry at the mouth of the Plackfoot. It has usually been the case at this season of the year, but it was found that it was so deep It was Impossible to locate a station there. There are undoubtedly many sub terranean channels throughout the entire section of country and it Is be lieved that in many places there are sinks between Idaho Falls and Black foot, where the water goes down and comes out Into the river again be tween Klackfoot and American Fali.v The writer remembers that two years ago there was plenty of water at this point, while Just below Black fooot a person could cross without wetting their feet and at the same time we crossed on a ferry 50 miles below there It was at lear 400 feet wide and two feet deep and no streams of any consequence empty ing into It between those points. REVENUE FROM FAILS. For the fiscal year that closed ot the Si'th of June last, the report of the commissioner of Internal revenue shows a decrease in cash receipts amounting to $ 1 7 . ft 3 S . 0 7 2 from the riceipts of the previous year. The total income from this source was $;51.B5.!t.".0. It is a matter of consuming inter est during these times of vigorous warfare upon Die favorite sins of mankind to know the source of most of the internal revenue income of tin government, and this Is given in sep arate items by the commissioner of Irternal revenue in his annual report for the last fiscal year. The taxes collected were upon the following ar ticles: Spirits distilled from fruits, gal Ions. 1.870,031. Spirits distilled from materials oth er than fruit, gallons, 119.S0S.402.

INVITATION'S TO III IK.IAIIS, Here Is a bit of testimony volun teered by a retired burglar which ought to be seriously considered by women who have the habit of deck ing themselves out In all their Jewel ry every time they go into the street. "Almost every really successful haul I ever made in the Jewelry line," said he, "was the result of plans carefully laid after shadowing some woman that looked like a walking Jeweler's showcase. It wasn't worth while wasting my talent on a house that didn't contain anything worth taking chances on. f never went Into any. thing blindly. In order to make no mistake as to the value of the plun der, I just watched the berlnged, the bedlamonded ladles in the streets and shops and followed them till I found out where they lived; then, when the opportunity came, I sailed in.

Twelve years ago an "opra" party went from Watongn to Kingfisher, Kan., to see a play, "Man and Mas ter," by a kerosene circuit company. Fire broke out in the opera house, the audience went head over heels Into the street and the leading lady fainted. The play was presented at Watonga one night last week. Ex Governor Ferguson, who was In the Kingfisher audience, takes up the thread of narrative In his Watonga Republican: "The play was ended Just where mother's shapeliness. All of this can be avoided by the use ot Mother's Friend before baby comes, as this liniment prepares the body for the strain upon it, and'preserves the symmetry of her form.
