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.

CARING FOR THE AGED.
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,
