The Milton Eagle says that the background for the Milton exhibit at the district fair will be a display of 15-foot corn raised by D. C. Master In that vicinity. And the Item goes on to say that the entire Milton ex hibit will be In keeping with tTs tall corn. Now will the other towns and lo- calitles of the county follow the ex-! amniP set hv Milton? will the make a creditable showing of their I excellent products? Will there be a rousing good exhibit from every town in the county? The people expect something from every town and ever- community In Umatilla county. This has been a dry year and yet exceedingly good crops for a dry year have been grown and now is the time to show the real merits of the county. Any country will produce good crops In a favorable year, but it Is not every country that will produce good crops in an unfavorable year and therefore it is especially timely for Umatilla and Morrow counties to have a fine display this season. WHERE PEXDLKTOX EXCELS. Pendleton excels many of tne larg- r cities of the northwest In many features, but there is one particular fiature in which she is a shining and illustrious champion of the entire n rthwest and that Is in the hotel bu iess. In no other town of twice her size are there to be found hotels equal to those of this city. "In equipment, ap pointment, service, prices and all the features of a good hotel this -city sur passes them all. Traveling men uni versally praise the hotel service of this city an I make it an object to cr.me here and spend Sunday or make their longest stops. This is not so in a limited sense, but universally all over the north v. est, the praise of Pendleton's hotels is he.irl and kindly expressions for the excellent service and moderate prices are common on trains and in hotel corridors everywhere. So among her boasted Institutions, I'endieton should be especially proud of the seivj ,-(. which sh" offers travel er. This is one of the most valuable assets a city can have nu Pendleton is especially blessed.. THE GREATER 1EYE1X)I'MENT. Two electric line franchises, both of which promise to make Pendleton the headquarters for a network of lines stretching through Umatilla county, are now being considered by the city council of Pendleton. The matter of developing this county by means of tlectrlc roads Is now so far along, that, like th work ers in a tunnel, the pick strokes can be heard through ti-e remaining wall! and oon the last Intervening barrier! v.i'l have been removed and daylight will shine through. The statement that two cjectrlc line franchise!) are being considered ' Is far more Important to I'matllla county than can be stated In a few words. It means everything, In fscfr. It Is the acme of development, the I crowning event In the industrial march of this rich section of Oregon. With either or both of these lines reaching out from Pendleton Into tin- rloh tributary territory, tliore will coma such a radical change In the life and activity of the county, that It will simply bp a revolution. fturftV life, will be entirely changed; land values will multiply; homes will tn built all along the entire length of the line and there will be no fa vored places all sections will be hlesed with equal development. Traffic throughout the section touched by these lines will be In creased, because transportation fa eilkles will be Improved and products can be marketed at less cost. Long hauls Will be abolished: wheat farms will be brought Into close touch with tops will be raised because it will be possible to ship them to market at any and all times when markets are favorable. This new era promises so many things that it Is Impossible to enu merate them. It will simply mean the highest possible development for an already highly developed and rich country and the upbuilding of Pen dleton, which Is already the best city in the inland empire. AMERICANIZING CANADA. Perhaps no other country In the world was ever so swiftly changed by, an invading citizenship as Canada has been Americanized by the Am ericans. Practically everything in western Canada Is American, except the letter of the laws, and that is rapidly conforming to American Ideas. , All through southern Alberta where thousands of American farmers and merchants are now prospering, the country Is typically American. American money is current every where. All prices are marked In America terms. All measurements and sales are made on the American basis. The hotels are .i;a.i.,;i in stvle and usages. The railroads use American equipment and have Amer ican rules and customs. While Canadian money Is not han- died In any volume In the United ptatPS' et over t ,lne ln Canada, American money passes current everywhere, In banks, stores, hotels, postoffices, on the farms. In railroad ofices and every place where business Is carried on. There Is no limit or restriction in the use of American ! monev. It Is taken In any and all denominations, by everybody. While the borders between the two countries are marked by monument and blazed trees, yet there Is no real line. The amalgamation of the Am ericans and Canadians is going on rapidly. Americans are buying and homesteadlng thousands of acres of land, establishing innumerable lines of Industry and soon there will be a complete change In the Canadian In dustrial, commercial and social life. While Canada has a prosperous and Industrious class of farmers and busi ness men, yet new vigor and vim has been added to the country by the Introduction of the virile American and his habits and customs. 11 ILL SEES THE SUNSHINE. "General business Is improving and with the prospects of good crops peo ple will have more money to spend In the immediate future than they did last year." Listen to that, says the Spokane Chronicle. Who said It some boomer, some wild-eyed optimist, some Joyous dreamer? No not exactly. It's the statement made in St. Paul last Saturday by a man well known In Spokane for his ability to smash rainbows and say unpleasant things when he feels like It one James J. Hill. Listen to him again: "Business is slowly but certainly Improving. It Is lighter this year than It was during the corresponding period last year, before the stringen cy, but It Is steadily Improving. "With a reasonably good crop the purchasing power of the people of the northwest will this year be greater than In several years past. Informa tion which I have received shows that ! the yield of grain In the northwest will be at least 10,000,000 bushels In excess of last year, and the general average price of grain Is higher than It was a year ago." , Willamette valley Is not going to have the only rapid development through the building of electric lines, The Inland empire will also be cov- ered by lines and cross lines ana in land empire cities will be centers of activity. The Oregon country Is now entering Its best period. Of course, the fellows who were beaten In the Washington primaries this week don't like the primary law. Put the other fellows like it and It will be a fixture on the statute books hereafter. It gives the people "a show." TATE Across the xcii, a hundred years ago, A poor man's son was horn.

A hundred years ago it chanced that, fir A Across the sea, not forty rods from where The miner's sire first beheld his heir And heard his screech, another child was born. He braved the ocean's storms .and stood one morn At Castle Garden, full of grit and hope. And In good time upon a pleasant slope. He built a cabin and his loved ones there, Eke In good time, presented hint an heir.. This child becomes a man in spite of mumps And chickenpox and all the various humps , A boy Is heir to,.

She loses a big toe and that is Fate! S. E. Klser In Chicago Hcrnrd Herald. THE COWHOY'S PRAYER. Lord, I've never lived where o churches grow; I love creation better as It stood That day You finished it so long ago And looked upon Your work and called It good. I know that others find you In the light' That's sifted down through tinted window panes, And yet. I seme to feel You near to night In this dim, quiet starlight on the plains. I thank you. Lord, that I am placed so well; That You have made my freedom so complete; That I'm no slave of whistle, clock and bell. or weak-eyed prisoner of wall and street. Just let me live my life as I've begun And give me work that's open to the sky; Make me a pardner of the wind and sun And I won't ask a life that's soft or high. Ln me be easy on the man that's down And make nie square and generous with all; I'm careless , sometimes, Lord, when I'm In town, , Put never let them say I'm mean or small. Make me as big and open as the plains, As honest as the horse between my knees, Clean as the wind that blows behind the rains, Free as the hawk that circles down the breeze. Forgive me, Lord when sometimes I forget: You n understand the hid, the reasons that You know about the things that gall and fret, You know me better than my mother did. Just keep an eye on all that's done and said, Just light me sometimes when turn aside, And guide me on the long, dim trail ahead That stretches upward toward the Great Divide. Charles C.
