AS TO THE RAID.
The 12 men now charged In the
Justice court with breaking the pro
hibition law haven't anybody In the
world to blame but themselves. If
they should be Indicted by the grand
Jury for every single glass of Illicit
liquor they have sold they could make
no complaint.
When prohibition was adopted by
the county the saloon business was
officially abolished. Prior to that
time It was a lawful calling and the
saloon men were accorded belliger
ency rights In the fight that was on.
But the situation changed July 1. The
liquor forces were beaten In this
county by an overwhelming majority.
It was then time for the saloon men
to quit. When they refused to do so
they made themselves lawbreakers
and they knew It.
As sworn officers of the law th3
district attorney, the sheriff, the Jus
tice and the constable have but one
course to take. The law must be en
forced like any other statute. Tne
people of Umatilla county expect
them to enforce the prohibition law
with the same honesty and the same
vigor they do other regulations of
the criminal code. If the sheriff or
any one else fails to do so he Is neg
ligent In his duty and he Is taking a
position he cannot hold.
There are two general ways In
which such a statute as the prohibi
tion law may be enforced. The of
ficers may be ever on the alert for
a violation and make an arrest when
ever they can find grounds for one.
The other method Is to allow the law
to be broken for a time and then by
means of a widespread net catch all
offenders at one fell swoop. This
method was elected by Istrlct At
torney Phelps and the net Is now be
ing drawn In. The results will be
known next week and at that time
the relative merits of his plan of ac
tion may be more intelligently dis
cussed. IMPROVIXr; NATURE.
For the sake of facilitating com-
merce, men are altering the face of j
the world. Tears ago the Dutch I
drove back the s a by means of l
!yk.-s. The Panama canal will divide
the Aim-rican continent Into two
Islands. Asia and Africa have al
ready b. n cut in twain. The United j
States, by means of river and harbor i
improvements, is now making sea-
ports ( cities so far Inland ns to be I
beyond the sound of the ocean's roar. ;
Th' re may be a contradiction in :
terms In the phrase "Inland Seaports"
but in these days of great enterprises, j
not only projected but accomplished, j
the Itlmd city may become a seaport
through the improvement of the In-'
lnnd waterway, as Manche.t'r, Ens-
hind, did and progressed most solidly
;,nd wond.-rfully by the canalization i
of the Mersy. The subject is made
prominent In the United States by the
project by which It Is sought to make
a seaport of the city of Newark, X.
J., and a seaport of the city o,' j
Ghent, in P.elulum. In dis'-us-dng h-
subject the New York Tribune of re- i
cent date, well said that while New- j
ark. as an Island city, would doubt- j
less continue to grow relying on rail-j
ways for transportation to the nearest,
seaport. It would be of decidedly
greater advantage to have ocean j
steamers "come right up to its own
docks" and that it would pay to build
the canal "for the sake of the future
which Is assured to Newark and
which the construction of the canal
and the appurtenant docks would
greatly promote."
According to the report of Consul
W. P. Atwell, stationed at Ghent. Bel
glum, tht contract for wideelng and
deepening the Terneuzen canal has
been signed by the Belgian and the
Netherlands authorities, the canal be
ing 104 miles on the Belglaa and
9 on Dutch territory. Commercial
docks at Ghent are to be provided,
with wharfage facilities of 5230 feet,
with iittu sheds. The depth of tho
canal Is fixed nt 2S feet; lumber docks
are. to have f10 feet of wharfage-,
with sheds covering S 3 . 2 1 2 feet; the
foreharhnr is to have 7215 feet wharf
age, 2lC) feet wide, with a depth of
21 feet. Consul Atwc'l adds that:
"The Terneuzen oan.il when complet
I'd will permit the safe entry of lartse
trans-Atlantic cargo boats and as soon
as completed a new line of steamers
ui'l p!y from (Ihent to Calvcston."
Tluis it Is that mankind improves
apoii the work of God.
Now the Pendleton academy has
op ned with a larger attendance than
ever before, w hile the public schools
are .o crowded that a new teacher
ha. I to bo employed. Surely there
cannot be anything: wrong with a
town when its schools grow and the
I ostal receipts show a gradual In
ert .".so.
Pendleton banks have money for
Investment In government bonds
i veil if the crop was light and the
smut hurt the wheat that did grow.
The season's yield brings $3,000,000
jus! the same. Prof. Jardlne was
right when he said he had never
seen a farming county more favored
naturally than is Umatilla.
Have you been Inside the new fair
pavilion yet? If you haven't, go and
see the changes that are being enact

Smlthson. Gilbert and Kelley won
high honors for Oregon and they are
justly entitled to the royal welcome
they were given In Portland. May
they live long and their fame remain

The Tribune said editorially it did
not know the prohibition law was
being violated and that It trusted
such was not the case. Ignorance
may be blissful, but is it good jour
nalism? The dairy ordinance Is now per
plexing the council. But the men
who handled the Interurban franchise
proposition will find the tubercular
cow to be a snap In comparison.
AX ELECTRIC OOIX COUNTER.
The burdens of bank work were
considerably lightened when the
electric adding machine was invented,
but now comes the electric coin
counter to make It still easier.
This apparatus counts and sorts
coins In'o paper tubes, or bags, at
the tate of 72,000 pieces an hour.
Fourteen expert cashiers In the Bank
of London, working all day long, are
only able to count $50,000 in silver
coin. The new machine will do this
work In one-fifth the time.
A bag of coins Is poured Into a re
ceptacle In the rear of the electric
machine. A tray full of several hun
dred coins Is emptied on a polished
meal plate. This plate Is tilted down
ward at one end and broken up, by
raised metal dules Into exactly a hun
dred squares which may be so alter
ed In size that any desired coin slip
ping Into them Is held firmly iln
place. The plate Is moved rapidly to
and fro.
Should It be desired to extract six
pences from the heap of larger mon
ey all the bigger coins are sifted off
the plate and the six penny pieces
are retained in the squares. The
coins are also stacked In paper tubes
and counted. Electric News.
A MAX'S MOST nUTICAl. HOIK.
A business man not long ago ex
perienced acute Indigestion, followed
by fainting fits, which so racked his
nervous system that he became prac
tically Incapacitated for attending to
his affairs. He believed that he lived
a ea-'-fu! life and sought a physicion's
advice. The physician prescribed no
medicine, but said:
"Try this little rule: Absolutely
stop work a half hour before each
mal. and don't resume work until a
half hour after each meal, and see
what happens."
The man did, and within three
wceKs he was well and has kept well
evr since.
"Naturally," said another physi
cian when told of the experiment.
"Those two half-hours are the most
critical in a business man's day."

It must be awfully hot In Florida.
I'.ead these scorching lines by the
Jaeksonvilln Times-Union T'Oet:
It's too hot to work; to hot to
Play:
It's too hot to sing; or hardly to
pray;
It's too hot to cat! and too hot to
drink;
It's too hot to talk; or even to
think;
It's too hot to live, we can't ask to
die,
It's too hot to laugh, and too hot to
cry;
It's too hot to read, and too hot to
write,
It's too hot to sleep in our beds at
night.

that all women would find husbands

MEXICAN' LAWSUIT
LASTS UOR 310 YEARS.
A flna settlement has Just been
made In a lawsuit which has been
pending In the courts of tho state of
(axaoa, Mexico, for 340 years. Tho
dispute arose between tho local au
thorities of the towns of Yodoeomo
and Nunu over tho question of the
lcc.il boundary lino between tho two
villages.
Until towns held titles to tho same
land tho conflicting grants being
made by the colonial government, The
title hebl by private parties were al
so Involved, and each town brought
su;t against the other for tho land
claimed to be justly duo It.
The suit dragging along for the
first 100 years, one legal stop after
another being taken by tho contend
ing towns. Another century passed,
and then another, and still tho suit
was undecided. During nil this time
the people of the respective towns
were arrayed against each other In
bitter enmity, and many have boon
the armed conflicts that have taken
place between the opposing factions.
The father of President Porftrlo
Diaz was a native of Yodooomo and
stood high In the little country com
munity because of his mental ability.
He took an active Interest In tho
long-pending suit, and during his life
time made every effort o get a final
decision of the case. Ho was unsuc
cessful and tho years dragged by.
President Diaz gave tho matter his
personal attention not long ago, and
the ancient records relating to tho
land giants and the conflicting boun
dary were carefully examined. Tho
matter was then laid before tho peo
ple of the two towns, and after many
conferences a settlement of the case
was vi'ached and the suit In court was
formally dismissed. It Is said to have
held a place upon the court docket
longer than any suit In the world's
history.
The new boundary line between
the two towns Is to bo marked by the
erection of stone monuments. A
great celebration to bo held by the
people of Yodoeomo and Nunu to
commemorate the settlement of tho
dispute Is t ohe called the "Feast of
Peace "

A little more tired at close of day,
A little less anxious to have our way;
A little less ready to scold and blame.
A little more care for a brothers'
name;
And so we are hearing the Journeys'
end.
Where time and eternity meet and
blend. i
A little less care for bonds and (fold,
A little more zest in the days of old;
A broader view and a saner mind.
And a little more love for all man
kind: And so we are faring adown the way
That leads to tho gates of a better
day.
A little more love for the friends of
youth,
A little less zeal for established truth;
A little more charity In our veins,
A little less thirst fur the daily news;
And so we are folding our tents away.
And passing In silence at close of day
A little more leisure to sit and dream.
A little more real the things unseen;
I A little nearer to those ahead,
With visions of those long-loved and
dead;
And so we are going where all must
go.
To the place the living may never
know.
A little more laughter, a few more
tears,
And we shall have told our Increasing
years;
The book is closed, and the prayers
are said.
And we are a part of the countless
dead
'Thrice happy, if then some soul can
say,
'1 live because he has passed my
way."

So night so dark but Just beyond It

Nor day so sad and long, but evening

However great thy task, O toller, still

The waves will bring again the bread

Ages to come, and eons passed while

Mean less than floating films of gos

When fair today and yesterday spell
