The poot's singing lips divine are muto, HL Jeweled sonps along the roadside lie Like withered flowers sadly left to die; And striiiRley, dusty hangs the minstrel's lute In some dark corner where no 4 passer's foot Disturbs the slumbering melo- dies, Art's cry Is heard not in the mart where mankind vie And struggle for the yellow god of brute. And thus the reefs of art are washed away. By seas of greed, terrific In their .might; To sovereign Mammon, praise alone Is sung. And minstrels wander, seeking for the light, Whose beams of radiance lead to yesterday. When life and song were free and romance young. Maurice A. Beers. TO BUILD VP OREGON. If the plans of Professor W. J. Kerr of the Agricultural college work out as he hopes and expects they will, eastern Oregon will blossom like the proverbial rose and in a few years will be as important from an agricul tural standpoint as is now the Hood River district, says a Portland item. Professor Kerr briefly explained his plan and outlined how he proposes to go about it to accomplish the hoped-for results. He stated that the first thing he wants to do is to make a trip over the eastern part of the state to see just what is needed to be done. He will probably start on this tour of inspection in about a week or 10 days and will be accompanied by two or three professors from the college, and possibly by two experts from tne United States department of agricul ture w:th a view to getting an expert In dry farming and one in irrigation to accompany him. and expected to receive a definite reply within two or three days. The eastern part of Oregon. Presl dent Kerr says, Is rapidly settling up with farmers from the western part of the state and from other states. Many of these farmers are Inexperi enced in farming under the conditions which prevail In eastern Oregon and don't know how to go about it to obtain the hest results. The object oi' the work which he has planned 1 to carry on a series of experiments with a view to discovering what are the best methods to be used In that secti"n of the state. "For Instance,' 'said President K rr "I understand that 'some parts of eastern Oregon are ideal for fruit growing. But they are very differ ent from the conditions which prevail In the Hood River section. The land is much higher, from 3500 t 4000 feet above sea level, and climatic con ditions are very different. In fact, different sections of eastern Oregon vary greatly as to elevation, soil and climate. Pome parts can be farmed without Irrigation while In other places water must be applied. Our -object is to find out Just what crops will do best In the various sections and whether dry farming or Irrigated arming would be most profitable. "I have a plan outlined for the work, but I prefer to say nothing about that until I have had sin oppor tunity to go over the ground and see conditions as they are and find out what Is needed. But my plan I think will cost he state almost nothing, for I believe we can get the department of agriculture to co-operate with us In the work and share the expense. "It is posflble that an experiment station may be established In Umatilla county, and there may be sub-stations in other parts of eastern Oregon. That, however, Is one of the matters to be determined after I have made my trip through that part of the state t.i pee what Is best to he done." LESSONS FOR TOURISTS. The men and womi u of the United St.ite spvnd $150,000,000 annually In a race to Europe or around the world. It does many of (Item a great deal of good. They" have the experli m-e of the sea voyage, of travel in lands where the cuAoms, the language, the g.'wrnment are different from their own country. If they are natural students or artists, or thoughtful peo ple who want to compare foreign with home conditions, the Journey ought to hi' a perpetual delight to them, despite all the discomforts that are encountered. A good many Illusions are dispell ed. It Is said that it is only by a struggle that a devout Christian can visit Jerusalem and the Holy Kind, and come away as good a Christian as he was before he saw the squalor, the littleness, the meanness that he encounters on every hand there, where the professed Christians are only kept from perpetual fighting by the strong hand of the Moslem. If tourists were honest, a visit abroad would do them a world of good In one respect. They would come home better Americans. They would say: "The ruins we saw wort simply the material evidences of a civilization which once existed, but which had not the strength within itself to endure. The present civiliza tion which once existed, but which had not the strength within itself to endure. The present civilizations there are such that we would shud der if we thought our own country would be like those." A VICTORY. If prohibition in Umatilla county has stopped one habitual drunkard from a downward career, If It has iken the curse of a brutal fiend out of one hdme, It Is a victory well worth all the cost It may entail upon the taxpayers. If it entails any extra expense at all. Personally the East Oregonlan knows two or three farmers who were formerly habitual drunkards. They were soaked full all the time. The saloons "laid for them," so to speak and took Just about all the money they had from one crop season to the next. These men were simply beasts, un fit to live as the heads of families, ot to conduct a business of any kind. Their families were disgraced by them and their neighbors were ashamed to be seen with them. Now these same men are sober and i'i possession of their senses. They stay at home with their families. A load has been lifted from the shoul ders of at least two patient and de serving wives of the county and that i victory enough for one trial of prohibition. PROUD OI' PORTLAND. All Oregon is proud of Portland to day. The Oregon metropolis now stands at the head of the list of the wheat shipping centers of the United States. It is not only a triumph for Portland but for all the magnificent tributary country which pours Its treasure Into Portland's lap. The Oregon Dally Journal of Monday says: . Portland today is the greatest wheat shipping port In the country. Over transportation lines coming In to the city more wheat was sent In today, Monday, August 31, than to any other shipping port In the Uni ted States. The shipping records for Portland show today that 210 cars of export wheat were received In the city to day. This Is nearly double the record of 113 cars established Saturday last when the wheat shipping records of the port were shattered. On several different occasions re cently Portland shipments have top pled those of Chicago, which Is the record wheat shipping port of the world. The Saturday shipment of 113 cars went ahead of the Chicago' re ceipts and established Portland as a record holder. Today's record, however, puts Port land far In the lead, even over Chi cago, and establishes the preeminence of the port as a wheat shipping cen ter of world wide Importance. The, rapid climb in the size of the ship ments Is shown by the record of 65 cass for Friday last, not a small shipment by any means. Figuring from a basm of 210 cars today's shipment. It Is seen that ap proximately 79,800 sacks of wheat reached Portland today, since there are on an average of 380 sacks to the car. The sacks as they are shipped from the fields weigh from 100 to 110 pounds to the sack. Estimating the average weight to be 105 pounds to the sack. It will be seen that a great flood of 8,879,090 pounds, or 144,445 bushels of grain, reached the city today. The arerage price of the wh.kit Is 92 cents a bush el, making the aggregate value of to day's shipment nloitt) n-non the enor mous sum of $1,58S,90. To put the vast shipment In a shave where Its sl.e can bo readily graspiM. It might be noted that tho 210 ear which reached the city today, If puttogetli cr '.n one train, would reach lni sol id line for 1 3-5 miles. It Is estimated that 17,500,000 bur ets of the present crop husj already been sold. The crop estimate for the s.ason Is 5, 000. 000 Inishcls. Tl'ese figures show that Portland has been doing an enormous business in the wheat shipping line. Never be fore in the history of the city have the wheat shipments come In so rap Idly or so regularly as during the present season. The record shows that Portland has taken her place as the leading shipping -port of the Pa cific coast, so far as grain Is con cerned and Is in the first place to stay. With the completion and operation of the North Hank road and the other transportation lines now either on the verge of completion or which have been projected it Is safe to predict that Portland will have no equal In the wheat shipping business In the world, and that the title will be a per manent one and not the mere reten tion of the record for a day or a sin gle season. The bulk of the wheat now being shipped from Portland Is bound for Mediterranean ports, where the blue stem of the Pacific north west Is held In high esteem. LONGINGS. Oh, to be out in the great, free woods, Away from the hurry, away from tile care, Where the boughs of the trees wonve a giant hood To cover the world, when the world Is bare; To lie where the shadows flit to and fro, As fairies that Join In a phantom play; To lazily dream through the hours and know That care Is a mocker thnt flits away! There's a place out there 'neath a spreading tree That only the squirrels and I have known, Except for the birds that come to see How fare the seeds by the fairies sown. And I want to be there. Just loafing, today, Though the hours that are happy and peaceful and good; I guess that I'm lazy, but anyhow, I want to be out In the great, free wood. A. Sylvanus In Globe-Democrat. THE LAST ROSE OF SUMMER, 'TIs the last rose of summer, Left blooming alone; All her lovely companions . Are faded and gone; No flower of her kindred, No rosebud Is nigh, To reflect back her blushes Or give sigh for sigh. I'll not leave thee, thou lone one! To pine on the stem; Since the lovely are sleeping, Co, sleep thou with them. Thus kindly I scatter Thy leaves to the bed Where thy mates of the garden Lie scentless and dead. So soon may I follow. When friendships decay, And from Love's shining circle The gems drop away! When true hearts lie withered. And fond 'ones are flown, O who would Inhabit This bleak world alone? Thomas Moore.

Interest is being awakened in many parts of the world In the sub ject of pensioning the aged. In some countries it Is being tried, but the subject is nowhere given the at tention which it deserves. After January 1, 1909, the British government will1 pay a small pension to all deserving persons over 70 years of age. The English old age dole will not equal more than $5 a month, and may be as low as $1. New Zealand has been giving pen sions to persons of 65 years of age for a few years past, and the amount of dole Is 18 pounds a year, or 30 shillings a month. There Is a compulsory old age In surance In Oermany, and for this, an employe Is required to contribute a portion of his wages to an insurance fund during his years of ablebodied usefulness, the employer paying an equal amount and the government also assisting. The English system has the whole amount come from the state. The es timated annual cost of pensions for the British treasury . is about $30, 000.000. lyrupyriPs etma Cleanses the Sy.stem Effect ually, Dispels Cfilils and Head: or lie s tlup to Constipation; Acts naturally, acts truly as n Laxative.
