UNION .LIIU
.,.
Because of your strong faith, I
kept the track
Whose sharp-set stones my
strength had well-nigh spent.
I could not meet your eyes If I
turned back:
So on I went
Because you would not yield be
lief In me.
The threatening crags that
rose, my way to 'bar,
I conquered Inch by crumbling
Inch to see
The goal afar.
And though I struggle toward
It through hard years.
Or flinch, or falter blindly,
yet within,
"You can!" unwavering my
spirit hears:
And I shall win.

FACTS FOB HOMESEEKEKS.
In the East Oregonlan today Is the
story of two young men who a few
years ago started to work In eastern
Oregon for wages, as millers In a
Union county flour mill. Last weak
they purchased their fifth flour mill
In that county and have accumulated
property worth $120,000.
They took advantage of the oppor
tunity offered them in eastern Ore.
gon.
Another man In Umatilla county Is
Just finishing harvesting a wheat crop
from 2000 acres of fine land owned
Individually by him. Twenty years
ago he was working for small wages
or. a Umatlila county farm. Today
he Is worth from $120,000 to $140,000.
He took advantage of another eastern
Oregon opportunity.
Other men now living in Pendleton
have made fortunes from the sheep
and wool Industry within the past 25
years; others in mercantile pursuits;
others from renting houses, dealing
In lands and investing money for cap
italists. And these are not exceptional cases.
They are common In this, section.
And the beauty of it Is that nobody
has a "corner" on these opportunities.
They exist today. They are to be en
Joyed by the newcomer at this late
date. They will always be here. As
the country settles up and hew people
come in they will be all the more
promising and productive.
S-'o the homeseekcr need not think
that the old-timers have "coppered"
everything. In fact, the new man
with a keen insight into conditions
and frc.-h vigor and active energy,
has the advantage.
The homeseeker who has energy,
open eye willing hands and active
mind need not remain a poor man
long i:i any eastern Oregon county.
THE TAIL OF THE SCORPION".
T. T. Geer, who was once elected
United .States senator by the people
of Oregon, and who ha until the last
two years, claimed to be an advocate
of the popular election of United
States senators, now advises repub
lican members of the legislature who
are pledged to the people's choice, to
resign rather than vote for the peo
ple's choice, who happens to be a
democrat.
He say there would be nothing dis
reputable, cowardly or Improper about
such a procedure. He would have
them run away from a plain duty to
which they are honorably pledged.
He would have them slink out of of
fice by the back door of a resigna
tion rather than "face the music" like
men and do the bidding of the sov
ereign people of Oregon.
Geer's advice to the weak-kneed
brethren recalls the old legend of tha
scorpion, which, when surrounded by
Its enemies, with no chance of escape
It ft, and no courage remaining to face
the foe, committed suicide by pierc
ing its own brain with the tip of lt
poisonous tall.
Geer would have republican mem-
bors of the legislature commit polltU
cal suicide rather than do as the peo
ple have Instructed them to do. He
would have them, at the last moment,
like the scorpion, take the back door
out of politics, rather than stand up
like men ami perform their duty as
marked out by tlielr neighbors!
Goer would make an extremely
"hot" member of the legislature,
judging from his advice to members
o' that body. And wouldn't he be n
towering monument as a congressman
from eastern Oregon, If this Is the ex.
tent and calibre of Ws "legislative"
a'.lllty, moral courage and stamina?
MXUNNING OF THE WAK.
George Kennan. In a commentary
accompanying the first instalment of
General Kuiopatkln's suppressed me
moirs In the September MeClure's,
gives some Interesting documents,
concerning the Interest of the family
of the tsar In the private timber com
pany In Korean territory, which was
perhaps primarily responsible for tha
great war with Japan. The story of
the royal timber company Is told by
Mr. Kenman as follows:
In the year 1S98, a Vladivostok
merchant named Briner obtained
from the Korean government, .upon
extremely favorable terms a conces
sion for a timber company that should
have authority to exploit the great
forest wealth of the upper Xalu river.
As Briner was a promoter and
speculator who had little means and
less Influence, he was unable to or-
ganlze his company, and In 1902, he
sold his concession to Alexander MIk
hallovich Bezobrazoff, another Rus
sian promoter and speculator, who
had held the rank of state 'councillor
In the tsar's civil service, and who was
hieh In the favor of some of the
grand dukes in St. Petersburg.
Bezobrazoff, who seems to have
been a most fluent and persuasive
talker, as well as a man of fine per-
sonal presence and bearing, soon in
terested his grand ducal friends in the
fabulous wealth of the far east gen-
erally. and In extraordinary value of"
the Korean timber concession espec
ially.
They all took stock In his enterprise.
and one of them with a view to get
ting the strongest possible support foi
it, presented him to the tsar. Bezo
brazoff made UDon Nicholas II. an
extraordinarily favorable Impression,
and. In the course of a few months,
acquired an Influence over him that
nothing afterward seemed able to
?hake.
That the tsar became financially
Interested In" Bezobrazoffs timber
company Is certain; and It Is currently
reported In St. Petersburg that the
emperor and the empress dowager,
together, put Into the enterprise sev
eral million rubles.
PORTLAND'S LAST TIUl'MPII.
Dick Stanley, the champion bron
cho "buster" at the Frontier fair held
last week at Cheyenne, Is a Portland
man.
Now this may be all right for Tom
Richardson and the Portland papers
to take this honor all to Portland, but
there Is a suspicion In the minds of
old Oregonians that Dick Stanley
learned to ride some where In the
"short erass counties" east of the
Cascades and that although he may
have visited Portland occasionally,
taht his Illlhee is on some remote
creek in the cow counties.
It's all right, anyway. It's" an Ore-.
gon victory and was wrested from ths
greatest riders on earth, those from
the Laramie plains, the Nebraska
prairies, the Dakota bad lands and
the Colorado ranges.
Here's to Dick Stanley wherever 1n
Oregon he belongs.
But Portland will have a hard time
making anybody In Oregon believe
that the champion broncho "buster"
of the world learned to ride on
Washington street, or that he owns a
mansion on Council Crest or conducts
a business regularly anywhere In
Portland.
But It's all right If It helps Port,
land. Let her claim him.
It Is compensation for the few hot
days of summer In Umatilla county to
breath the Invigorating a'lr, feel the
crisp breezes, behold the cloudless
sky and golden wheat fields of one
unsurpassed autumn morning.
It would be cruel to suggest that
James J. Hill's activity In Oregon a
much as Governor Chamberlain's pur.
suasive smile, Induced Harrlman to
announce the construction of a cen
tral Oregon railroad.
Tour cue to laugh comes when a
rich relative gets off a stale Joke.
' However, the disgrace of poverty
is overshadowed by the discomfort.
Some men are too good to be clever
and some are too clever to be good.
Whoever wins In the election Mr,
Roosevelt can be sure of an endorse
ment of some of the policies describ
ed as his. Washington Star.
THE V. S. WOMAN'.
Hall the pretty U. S. woman.
Daughter of our Uncle Sam
She's the queen of all the empires
And from Butte to Amersteidam!
She has eyes that dance and sparkle
lAke a pulsing river kissed
By the blushes of the morning
Shooting arrows through the mist,
She has lips as ripe and ruddy
As the apple of the fall
When the autumn azure shimmers
Like a h;ilo over all.
She has hair of silk that's braided
By Plana In the sun,
And the grace of swaying willows
When the laughing waters run.
And her heart. Intrenched from
Inekeys
Is as pure as crystal dew,
And as beauteous and loyal
.As the sky's cerulean blue.
I; Is kind and sympathetic,
Quick to sense a woman's part
Or to lift the pall of sadness
From a bleeding, kindred heart.
Ah. the maid of Uucte Sam'l,
Lass of charms and tender grace;
Brave and constant, sweet and pretty;
Lithe of form and fair of face
Of her virtue and her beauty
Genus man expatiates.
Crowning her with bays of glory,
Queen of these United States!

HOTTEST PLACE OX EARTH
Bahrein Island, In the Persian Gulf,
Is said to be the hottest place on the
golbe . far hotter than Tophet. The
average temperature Is about 141 de
grees. On the coast, where the people
live, there Is no fresh water, but here
and there In the harbor's bottom are
strong, free-flowing springs of purest
water, rivaling that which flows
down the sides of the mountains of
Lebanon, flavored by the sap of heal
thy cedars.' Divers equip themsel
ves with bags of skins and descend to
the springs, where they fill the Invert
ed receptacles with aqua pura. The
water Is cold enough to drink with
out the aid of Ice, of which the Is
landers know nothing.

marble tombstone In Hampstead
cemetery, London, Is written In Pit

It appears that a young wlfe,"who lies
burled there, had taken up the study
of shorthand, while 111 from con

and had also taught her husband the

any change In his scheme Is bound to
be for the worse.

JULEP ISLAND.
An Island In a Julep sea
Of orange, a la sangaree;
A maraschino, fine and red,
On top, and round it greenly spread
Sweet landscapes of green mint where
sleep
The hidden springs of Julep deep!
O Julep Island, here's to you,
With shores of green and hills of blue!
Fair floating In a frapped glass,
As though our Hps the cool floods
pass;
Pineapple mountains 'gainst the sky,
And lltle straws to sip them by!
On Julep Island It Is sweet
To seek relief from humid heat;
To look down in the Julep sea
Where all the green mint mermaids
be.
And watch the maraschino gleam
A red sun setting In a dream!

from the blood. When, however, this vital fluid becomes a humor-laden
stream, it can no longer preserve the healthy, natural appearance of the skin,

tissues and fibres and keeps the cuticle in a diseased and disfigured condition.

wastes of the dunes, In the eternal
silence, the llfelessnens that Is not
bioken even by any lonely, wandering
bird, the camels are stopped at the ap
pointed hours, the poor, and often
ragged, robes are laid down, the brown
pilgrims prostrate themselves In pray

carpet, and prays. And the half naked
nomad spreads nothing; but he prays,
too.
The East Is full of lust, and full, of
money-getting, and full of bartering,
and full of violence; but It Is full of
worship of worship "that disdains
concealment, that recks not of ridicule
or comment, that believes too utterly
to care If others disbelieve. There
are In the East many men who do not
pray. They do not laugh at the man
who dies, like the unpraylng Christ

them In prayer. In Egypt your Nub
Ian sailor prays In the stern of your
