COME TO UMATILLA. President Roosevelt's learned com mission for the improvement of farm condition and the Increase of enjoy ment and comfort in farm life is most urgently and cordially invited to come to Umatilla county. This would be a typical field In which to try- the skill and learning of this high council. It would give them an insight into conditions which no easterner believes to exist. Here are 600, 1000, 2000-acre farms cultivated every other year and on many of them are wells that are used but a few weeks during harvest, re maining for the rest of the year as breeding grounds for typhoid germs, malaria fever and other ills. Few real farm homes are to be found on many of these large areas. School houses were long ago aban doned. Fences ares tolerably well kept up, but there are no signs of real farm life, no pleasant reminders that a home exists there'and few fam ilies are to be found enjoying those homes. Men are getting rich In dollars and cents from these farms, to be sure, but they are impoverishing the coun try, sapping its country pride, destroy ing its rural institutions, making the county a rich, yet barren waste of wheat. If in the superiority of their wis dom the members of this high com mission can suggest anything which will counteract this tendency toward country desolation. Umatilla county will gladly listen to it. This is a field worthy of a few months' study, at least. A FLA I XT FROM THE PEWS. If a man wants to have the X-ray ey of the public turned upon his in most soul, b-t him run for office. If he u,;nts to see his anatomy turned Inside out, his hide stretched on a pole to dry, his secret mind posted ( up on the bill boards and his thoughts fiung broadcast from the house tops, let him K' t his name on a ticket for a public office. 1";,! i W. H. Taft became a 'candi date f.-.r president, nobody ever asked about " h'.s religion. In fact nobody kne'v or cared whether he had any rlig."n. H mattered not when he was a judge on the bench what his rMii-'iou belief might have been. As bofs of the Philippines nobody demanded to know what he believed about the trinity, the hereafter or the past. All that was asked was, "could he civilize the Filipinos?" As secretary of war and Joint dig ger of the Panama canal his convic tions about foreoi dination, infant baptism, hell fire or popular amuse-j nieiit- have not been discussed In public. It was taken for granted that he knew how to dig a canal and he was allowed to proceed with the work undisturbed. As president of the United States he will be guided by the same good angels, he will pray to the same great God of all, revere the same principles of Justice and honor and follow the same exact rectitude of conduct If his religion was good enough for the federal bench It Is good enough for the iresldentlal chair. If It was kooiJ enough for the war portfolio In tlio cabinet, it Is good enough for the private- office of president of tho fulled Stairs. It It guided hlni aright In his successful career In the Philippines. It will guide him still aright at the head of the procession. So why this plaint from the pews? What particular part of his religious creed has become suddenly danger ous for the nation? T.ift is cuitured, educated, refined, and broad guage and therefore with out Inquiring further it may be taken for granted that his religion Is all right. riu: little tiuxcs. It seems to many that a president of tho Tinted Stales is stooping from the mighty tasks of state to a very unimportant work when he turns from regulation of railroads, digging can als and directing land frauds to the creation of a reserve for the protec tion of the wild fowl. Hut it is the multitude of little tasks, the inconsequential things which go to make up the work of statesmen and nothing is too small or unimportant U escape the n otlce of a really big man Over in Harney, Luke and Malheur counties In southern Oregon are hun dreds of square miles of marshy swamps, suitable for the breeding grounds of myraids of wild fowl, and one of the best things which Presi dent Roosevelt has- ever done has been to sign an order making this a national reserve for the progagation of these beautiful and useful birds. In those thousands of acres of riarsh, protected from the hunter and allowed to multiply In their na tural way, will flourish hundreds of thousands of beautiful bird spec! mens. There in the wilds of that tangled marsh will be seen in a few years myriads of colors, happy thou sands of wild fowl, living and thriv ing in their natural state, tame and unafraid, a tribute to the thoughtful ness of one good man, or perhaps a half a dozen good men who have been Influential in securing this Ore gon home for the birds of the air. This is one of the little things of a big government which count for something in history. COMMONER CLEVELAND. Of all the hetrogeneous celebrities whom It has become my business to meet, I have never known one as sim. pie and unaffected as Grover Cleve- land, says Herbert X. Casson In Broadway Magazine. He had abso lutely none of that veneer of vanity which makes most great men ridicu lous. He was the only democratic presi dent since 1S61. and no career in nls tory has been more triumphant and sensational than his; yet he continued to the last to be as simple natured and as ready to listen to the small talk of the people as though he had spent his life raising chickens on a bush farm. The older he grew the more attach ed be became to the simple life or the country. Ho was fond of old clothes and loose slippers and the soft grassy earth. Once he told me with great gusto how George Washington fled to his farm from the flatteries and Intrigues of public life. "In 1797," he said, "when the coun try demanded that Washington should leave his farm and return to public life, he squealed like a pig. He al ways preferred his farm to the White House." He had no aristocratic instincts not one. He was a commoner to th? tore. Every man was a man to Gro ver Cleveland. The richest individual had no glamor and the poorest had no smudge In his eyes. One morning, while he was dictating an Interview, a ragged tramp came up the path to the house. Mr. Cleveland opened the. door, listened to the man's story and Kent him away with half a dollar and a "good luck to you." "Who Is that man, papa?" asked iittle iJlck Cleveland, who had been romping In the hallway. "That is a poor man out of a Job, nick," replied the father. "He Is a long distance from home and he Is trying to walk back." WHAT WILL THEY PO WITH IT? I All the available power and water sites on both the Umatilla iTVcr and McKay creek have been located with in the past 10 days. Filings aggre gating 80,000 Inches of water have been placed on record on these two streams. Now what will they do with these sites? Are they to be utilized In de velopment of the country or are they simply to be held as speculations? Will the country at large be blessed or cursed by thl. activity? Will the power site. In the hands of the locators be of any more actual value to humanity than they were In their natural state? We .hall see. U.S. DISPENSATORY Describes (he Principal Ingredients Contained In 1'i-ru-iid. Are we claiming' too much for Feruna when we claim it to be an effective remedy for chrcnio catarrh ? Have wo abundant proof that Peruna is in real ity such a catarrh remedy ? Let us see what the United States Dispensatory says of the principal ingredients of Peruna. Take, for instance, the ingredient hydrastis canadensis, cr golden seal. The United States Dispensatory says of this herbal remedy, that it is largely employed in the treatment of depraved mucous membranes, chronic rhinitis (nasal catarrh), atonic dyspepsia (ca tarrh of the stomach), chronic intesti nal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice (ca tarrh of tho liver i, and in diseased mucous membranes of the pelvio organs. It is also recommended for the treatment of various forms of dis eases peculiar to women. Another irig-tedient of Peruna, cory dalis formosa, is classed in the United States Dispensatory as atonic. So also is cubebs classed a3 a stomachic and as a tcnic for the mucous membranes. Cedron seeds is another ingredient of Peruna, an excellent drug that has been very largsly overlooked by the medical profession for th6 past fifty years. The seed? are to be found in very few drug stores. The United States Dispensatory says of the action ; of cedron that it is used as a bitter tonic and in the treatment of dysen- tery, and in intermittent diseases as a substitute for quirine. Oil of copaiba, .mother ingredient of Peruna, is classed by the United States Dispensatory as a mild stimu lant and diuretic. It acts on the stom ach and intestinal tract It acts as a stimulant on the genito-urinary mem- j branes. Useful in chronic cystitis, I chronic dysentery and diarrhea, and i some chronic diseases of the liver and j kidneys. j Send to us for a free book of testi monials of what tho people think of Peruna as a catarrh remedy. The best evidence is the testimony of those who have tried it. In justice to the city of Pendleton, which Is one of Its best patrons, the Northwestern Gas & Electric company should maintain an auxiliary plant lr this city for emergencies like the present. The city has been without light and power for almost a week and It Is only justice to the users of electricity that some effort be made by the company to meet suen emerge ercles. Walla Witilla has been enjoy ing a partial electric service. Pen dleton would be glad to have only a partial service In times of misfortune, Eut she is certainly entitled to as much as Walla Walla. The Installment plan of payments has been the making of many a for tune for poor men. It has placed homes and Investments within reach of men who could secure them In no other way and will always be consid ered one of the genuine blessings of the commercial world. The Pacific Baptist says that Protestantism would be stronger and purer by Incorporating within Itself the Catholic and Christian doctrine of divorce. At present we are heath en In this respect, and are committing martial suicide at an alarming rate. The Gordon Falls Textile company which Is starting a manufacturing town at Gordon falls near Portland, Is starting right. The company has established a newspaper as the first Industry in the new town. The re mainder of the work will be easy. THE SUNDIAL. On the sundial In the garden The great sun keeps the time; A faint, small moving shadow, And we know the worlds In rime! And If once that shadow should falter Hy the space of a child's eyelash- The seas would devour the mountains; And the stars together crash. Ry Richard Watson Gilder.
