A TIP FROM MILTOX.
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. Pore
doomed U) know
Pew joys, he toiled and late In life
became
The father of a child who bore his
na me.
This boy at Caslle Garden stitn'l one
day
And, later, to the ore mines foimd his
way.
Peep In tile mines he digs the heavy
ore.
Which, being loaded. Is transported
four
Hundred and twenty-seven miles by
rail
And twice that far by boat. Through
many a gale ,
J: wifely passes to the fiery blast,
And, going through a hundred bauds,
ut last
Becomes the framework of an auto
car.
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,. In the market place
He buys and sells, joins ln eager chase
Fi .'.ollars, and gets millions of
them, too.
And unto bini a son Is given, who
Has nothing in the world to do but
try
To spend hi income, to make money
fiy-.
He drives an autocar whose heavy
frame
Is made of steel that In due process
came
From what the miner dug down ln
the mine,
He tears through crowded street, he
.iks to shine
By breaking all the records and runs
down
That miner's child he having moved
to town
She hears the angry toot, but, ah. too
lute!
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.

"LOVE'S OLD SWEET SONG.'
They didn't wear no uniforms nor
epulets nor trappin's
A'nd their instruments were sorter
on thy, bum;
1'h crowd around the band-stand
didn't smell of talcum powder.
Hut more of cigarettes and plzen
rum.
A little sawed-off feller, with careless
sort of hair
Got up and bowed and waved a
stick around,
And when the music started you could
hear the spurs aclakln'
As the cowboys stomped their boots
upon the ground.
Well, them band fellers meandered
over most their repertoir
And played a heap of tunes I didn't
know,
Till they hit upon that old 'un about
"Just a song at twilight"
And "when the fllckeiin", shadders
come and go."
Now, I somehow seemed transplanted
'from that sl.zllu' mountain
town
And I fetched up In the days of
"auld lang syne,"
3 was back amongst the home folks,
a rompin' In life's mornln'
oh, the reveries I had was some
thing fine.
L "Though the heart be weary, sad the
day and long,"
Now that was rather hittln' home
I guess;
And they kept on through the whole
piece till I reckon my emotions
Had mellered to a pretty sloppy
mess.
,1 somehow got to thlnkln' that the
" present and the future
Are sometimes defamations on t h i
past
That them hand-palmed Delllahs and
and delirium tremens artists
And maybe the Julep mixer, with the
sugar beet proboscis.
Who for lucre shoves the high life
' dope jilollg.
Felt a swcllin' neath his shirt front
and a lump come In his guzzle
When he heard the brass hit ml play
"Love's Old Sweet Song."

W ATCH YOl 1SSELE go HV.
Just
stand asld
and watch yourself
go by;
Think of yourself as

"I."
Note, closely as In other
men you
note.
The hag-kneed trousers and the seedy
coat,
Pick flaws; find fault; forget the man
Is you.
And strive to make your estimate ring
true;
Confront yourself and look you In the
eye
Just stand aside and watch yourself
go by.
Interpret all your motives Just as
though
You looked on one whose sins you
did not know'.
Let undisguised contempt surge,
through you when
You see you shirk, O commonest of
men!
Despise your cowardice; condemn
whate'er
You note of falseness In you any
where. Defend not one defect that shames
your eye
Just stand aside and watch yourself
go by.
And then, with eyes unveiled to what
you loathe
Pack t oyour self-walled tenement
you'll go
With tolerance for nil who dwell be
low. The faults of others then will dwarf
and shrink, .
