The Pendleton Tribune says the in formation sent out to the Portland Oregonian concerning the filing on 10,000 inches of water In the upper Umatilla river by the Wenaha Water and Power company, during the past week has been "incorrect and mis construed." The records at the county court house are not Incorrect nor miscon strued. Three 'water and power sites, claiming in the aggregate, 10,000 inches of the remaining water in the Umatilla river have Just been filed, a few days before the city of Pendleton started an engineer to that particular part of the Umatilla river, to locate a gravity water supply for the city. There is more water In the Umatilla river than the Byers" water right can use, but with 10,000 additional inches Tiled upon for "water and power pur poses," there Us nothing left for Pen dleton. If the Tribune wants to give the people of Pendleton "correct Informa tion" why does it not publish the facts about the location of the three "water and power sites" on the Umatilla river? It has not done so. The record at the court house show Just what the East Oregonian has published and Just what the Portland papers have published. BRYAN IN THE WEST. John R. McLean's Cincinnati paper, the Enquirer, has abandoned hope en tirely that Mr. Bryan can make gains in the west, says the Springfield Re publican. It scans the field, fails to note a bolt of his party by any Important radical republican, and concludes that the republican radicals In mass are well satisfied with their party and its present and prospective leadership. This conclusion coincides pretty c!o. ly with our own view of the prob abilities, as they are at present de fined. It should be pointed out, how, ever, that Mr. McLean is very un friendly In Mr Rryan and that his Washington paper, the Post, which denies that ours Is a government of the people or was ever Intended to be, has at no time shown him any con-sldf-ratlon. On this account the Enquirer's tes timony by itself "Is of the prejudiced sort '.hat requires confirmation from other sources. If a ton p-.trly 'o av thnt r'no re publican fi(?ht In the west Is already won; and It Is certain that Mr. Hitch cock is not proceeding on that as sumption. FOR THE DETECTIVES. If the detectives working for the prohibition forces of Umatilla county are really desirous of securing red hot Information against the former ssloon men who are conducting soft drink resorts, they should get up early, say from 6 to 6 a. m., and stand -on Main and Court street corners In sight of a number of the prominent places where booze svas formerly sold. They may see "old topers" dodging Into a number of places at this early hour and by conducting their Inve tigallon further they may see the color of the stuff they drink over the bars. Of course It may be unjust to suspicion any soft tiring resort. These old drinkers who formerly took noth ing milder than triple extract "groas td lightning" I" saloon days, may come down now this early In the morning for a glass of Ice cold lem onade, a sip of root beer or a glass of iced grape Juice. Thejr tastes may have entirely changed. Hut if the detectives really want first-hand information this Is the time of day to secure It fresh from the street. By following the early morning trails of a number of conspicuous old-tlm.-rs who In saloon days never lex a morning pass w ithout filing thelt hides full of fighting whiskey, tho detectives will perhaps find that these s.iine old-timers are getting the same kind of booze, at the same time In the morning, at the same plac,e, In the fame quantity, but with the whis pered Injunction added, to "keep still and go home and be good." THE FARCE OF THE LAW. The legal farce of the United States and of the several states is enacted every day and yet people make but little earnest effort to make the farce a serious matter. For Instance, the circuit court in Umatilla county grants a woman a divorce and gives her alimony paya ble every month. She needs this ali mony to support herself and children, perhaps. The court has given it to her and ordered it paid to the county clerk on stated dates each month, for a definite, fixed period. All right. This Is a regular court. The law under .which it acted in this matter was regularly passed and Is In force every day In the year, on every foot of Oregon soil. It Is sup. posed to be obeyed. It Is taken to niean what it says. People are depen dent upon It for protection. Espec ially is this widow and family Inter ested In its alleged sacredness. But look. The divorced husband cosses the line Into Washington, or even Into another Judicial district In Oregon. He gets "out of the Juris diction of the court" and absolutely and permanently refuses to heed the order of the court. No alimony for that widow. No respect for . that circuit judge. Let his court go and be hanged as far as this merry grass widower is copcern ed. Mandates, decrees, orders of court have no weight outside of a narrow prescribed line, no matter how far reaching the subject treated by the law. Now wouldn't it be much more sen. slble if there were a uniform divorce law throughout the United States, so a grass widow or a grass widower In Oregon would still be the same in Washington? Wouldn't It be much more sensible to have a law that meant something? Would It not bb much more just and reasonable to have alimony and other divorce de- crees enforced uniformly throughout the United States? Shotlld a man be allowed to run away from alimony any more than from a charge of horse stealing or arson or burglary? It would check the divorce evil per haps and would have a tendency to breed a more wholesome respect for the laws of the land. VAGRANCY. In the editorial refemce to the hobo" class that are infesting Call- fornit by the thousands, the Chroni cle sayB: There Is but one remedy, and that U to deal with these vagrants by state law and at the expense of the state. The penalty for vagrancy should bo the wood piles and buck saw in a stockaded yard, conducted on the no- work-no-eat plan, but with fair pay If they work well. There Is not the slightest danger to respectable men actually seeking em ployment from adopting this course. There ' never any trouble In Identi fying a hobo. But this will never. he done except under state regulation. So long as the town can get rid of the burden by passing the hobo on the next place it will be done. It Is contemptible, but country magistrates all do It and their constituents support them. By setting grape vines six by elglu feet apart In rows. It is possible to set S10 on an acre. Excellent grape cut tings can he bought for $4 per 100, making the cost of planting a vineyard but small. By planting peach trees 18x18 feet, 134 can be set on an acre and yearling trees on three-year-old roots cost 18 cents each. So either a peach orchard or vineyard Is within reach of the poor man who has a few acres In the irrigated section of Uma tilla county. Within two years after setting out, both the vineyard and peach orchard will be returning an Income to the grower. IF YOUTH BUT KNEW, If youth but knew that stars at night Were not peepholes for angels' sight, That years beyond the teachers' way Would not be one Jong holiday, How low would fly his fancy's kite! If one could not grow up a knight And tour the world restoring right, What tears would flow! What blank dismay, i If youth but knew! I If in the moon's bewitching light No brownies climbed tho steeple's height. If fairy tales were only play, What use in living, anyway? Ah, things would be in sorry plight, If youth but knew! s Edith Updegrnff. COST OF PYRAMID AT IHCTROIT. E. S. Wheeler, member of the De troit Engineering society, presented nt a recent meeting of that society plans and specifications on which he esti mated In detail the cost of reproduc. Ing in Detroit the Great Pyramid of Gireh. The first paragraph of tho speclfl. cation . Is as follows: "The Detroit pyramid shall bo a complete and ex act copy of the pyramid of Gtzeh as it was when first built and before it had been broken into and desecrated by early barbarian kings or later civ. llized antiquarians. The material of the Detroit pyramid must, where pos sible, be the same as that of the old; if not. It must be equally good, as de. termlned by the Detroit Engineering society..' The original dimensions of th Great Pyramid were: Length ot side, "60 feet; height, 485 geet; area of base, 13.25 acres. Mr. Wheeler es tlmates the cost, exclusive of site or foundation, as follows: 3,313.000 cubic yards backing stone at $3.50, $28,160,500; 140,000 cubic yards fac Ing stone at $57, $7,980,000; 2000 cubic, yards granite facing at $100, $200,000; total, $36,340,500, MEET DEATH WITH SOXGS. Students of human nature will find In the spectacle of the crew of the ship Gladiator going to their deatns with a song on their lips another proof of the fact that singing Is the best outlet for human emotions In the time of great stress and fear, says London Chat. Here were over a hundred men face to face with death; land was within 150 yards of them and they might have been excused had they broken ranks and dived Into tho sea. Instead of that they stood shoulder to shoul der singing the well known song. "Sons of the Sea." Of course the reason why human beings sing at such a moment as this Is because it steadies the brain and prevents dangerous thinking. Man a tlnra a song has saved hundreds of lives when nothing else could have done anything. AWKWARD LANGUAGE. Japanese "typos"' have their trou bles. K. Suglmura, literary editor of the Toklo Asahl Shlmbun, says that he especially admires the linotype typesetting machines. "Unfortunate ly, we are unable to use themn Ja pan, for our language has 47 letters, as well as over 3000 Chinese charac ters, and such a number of types Is, of course, beyond tho capabilities ot any machine yet invented. In . tht printing office ot our newspaper In Toklo. the compositor must often walk the whole length of the room to fetch one character. Instead of stand. Ing In one place before a single case, as the English or American composi tors can do." Detroit Free Press. ONLY 2 CENTS TO ENGLAND.

OREGON fco ro feo When bad blood is caused from an infection of the circulation by the virus of Contagious Blood Poison, it usually shows in the form of ulcerated mouth and throat, wpper-colored splotches on the body, swollen glands in the groin,' falling hair, sores and ulcers, etc. These general symptoms, affecting all parts of the body, show how deeply poisoned the blood becomes, and emphasizes the dangerous character of the trouble. I! allowed to remain in the system the disease will finally wreck the health and break down the strongest constitution. No medicine can cure Contagious Blood Poison which does not rid the circulation of every particle of tho virus. S. S. S. is the one real and certain cute; it goes down to the very bottom of the trouble, and by removing every trace of the poison, and adding rich, healthful qualities to the blood, forever cures this powerful disorder.
