"CORRECT' INFORMATION.
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!

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.

as the English or American composi
tors can do." Detroit Free Press.

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. S. S. S.
is the most reliable of all blood purifiers, and its concentrated ingredients of
healthful vegetable extracts and juices especially adapt it to curing this
insidious trouble. Write for our home treatment book, which is a valuable
aid in the treatment of the different stages of tho disease, and ask for any
special medical advice you wish. No charge for either.
