sing again,
Fashion a wonder-word
love' way to prove.
Attune my lyre to love's poten

Who knew not love!
Now I would sing, would sing
of love and fire.
It is the day of days. But I

Yea. helpless I beseech a va

For love Is come.

WHAT THE FAIlt SHOWS.
For the third time the gates of the
d.strict fair were swung open this
.'ift-rnoon and a week of pleasant,
profitable entertainment is now In
store for the people of Vmatilla and
Morrow counties.
In every particular the fair Is bet
tn this year than ever before and the
management is to be congratulated
upon the success of their work.
Put the fair should be better than
In the past because the district has ad
vanced. When the third district was
organized four years ngo the Umatilla
Central had scarcely been thought of
and the east Umatilla reclamation
project was but a dream. The Uma
tilla river and other streams of the
county were being used for fishing
purposes only and the Idea of an In
t i urban electric line would have been
chimerical.
Now ail is changed. The Pilot II 'ck
country' which was then only a stock
region, has been aroused from its
sleep by the whistle of the branch
l;ne locomotive, and as a result Pilot
7oek now has a fruit exhibit that ri
vals that from Milton and Freewater.
In the Echo country four years ago
the principal hope was in a Jack rab
bit cannery. The land of the west
end was worthless. Hut the hr-ath of
life v...s entered the arid section
through the irrigation ditches and the
d sert is being converted into alfalfa
fields, orchards and vineyards.
These are but some of the changes
that have taken place in this county
during the r.at few years and they
mark the beginning of n new period
in the history of the county the era
of development. The fact that a
transf'irmation is now on may be
l-'ait.iy seen at the district fair pavil
ion. ar.d to the Kast Oregonlan this is
the fn:et thing in connection with
t:,e fe.jr.
THE ( WI SE IS EVERYTHING.
War to be successful must be mor
ally right and the nation that takes
tl.e ;'..;. against a foe should first
in.iKe -ure that the hearts of its peo
ple will be in the struggle.
This is a fact tliat was known of
eld, but has been somewhat overlook
ed In t:i!s age of powerful armaments.
I.'ef'ire the war with Japan the Itus-
in- la-;;. e the armies of the czar
would be invincible because they were
strong in numbers and equipment.
Pu; itinera; Kuropatkiti, who com
n:ande the Russian forces In Man
churia, now knows where his army
was weak. In his expose of the Rus
Fion army, now appearing In Mc
C'lure's magazine, he has the follow
ing to "ay of the moial element In the
war: 5 TV
The recent contest in Manchuria
vas a popular war for the Japanese,
but not for us. The Korean question,
atol the fjue.vt! n of naval supremacy
on the waters of the Pacifie, Involved
vital Japanese Interests, ami the im
mense importance of th se interests
was so clearly understood and so ful
ly appreciated by the Japanese people
that the war for their protection was
;i national war. Japanese soldiers,
deeply conscious of Jhe bearing that
their exploits might have on the fu
ture of the country, fought with a
self-sacrificing devotion and a atub-
lx. rones that we had never soon In
any war iu which we had previously
In on engaged. Sometimes, In villages'
that we had taken by assault, a hand
ful f Japanese soldiers would barri
cade themselves In native houses and
.lie there rather than retreat or sur
render. Japanese officers who fell n
to our hands even wounded officers
generally committed suicide.
Military history shows that. In nil
wars, the antagonist who Is strongest
morally wins the victory.
SAtiKlUUMI I'OU KOADS.
Kuu-heis of a practical turn of
mind in the vicinity of Pasco have
discovered a use for the generous
growth of sagebrush In that vicinity,
s,is the Spokesman-Review. They
.ire using it to make roads of, and It
!s proving of great benefit during the
s, ason of wheat hauling.
Following a dry, hot summer, the
r. ads were full of dust and the heavy.
grain-loaded wagons cut deep nto the
highways and made hauling difficult
Ti,.. iKimi remedv. straw, was too
scarce to be wasted upon the roads.
Nr other road material appeared at
hand, until some bright farmer be
thought himself of the despised sage
brush. The bushes are grubbed up, roots
and nil, and thrown Into the. highway
and the road building Is complete.
After that It is simply a question of
time until the grain wagons grind the
sagebrush and dust Into a firm,
though springy, mass, and the road
will stay in good condition during the
hauling season. Should a spot wear
thin, repairs are easy. It Is simply a
case of pulling up a few bushes and
throwing them Into the road.
How the sagebrush would work un
der rainy conditions It Is Impossible
to say. as the fall has been ns dry as
the summer. The success has been so
marked this fall, however, that it Is
piobable the use of straw. In that sec
tion of the grain belt at least, Is a
thing of the past.
LEGITIMATE 1". ICING.
At the Pacific national show held
iu Portland last week was given an-
iher exemplification of the fact that
races may be conducted successfully
without pool selling.
During the week tens of thousands
of people gathered at the Country
club track and watched some of the
best harness races ever seen in the
west. Respectable people of all
classes were there, but the touts and
bookmakers who graced the old track
In former days were not to be seen.
The character of the crowd was lm- '
proved 100 per cent.
Then the races were pulled off on
program time. The people In the
ptand stand were not required to sit
for hours while the pool-sellers did
their work below. And there was lit
tle or no suspicion of jobbery where
as In former days the crowd never
expected to see a race won upon Its
merits.
The American people love horses
and they love good racing. It is a
legitimate sport if conducted proper
ly. Put the only way lo make It real
sport is to cut out the pool selling an I

WALLS OP I'OUX.
Smiling and beautiful, heaven's
dome
Rends tioftly over our prairie home.
Put the wide, wide lands that stretch
ed away
Pefore my eyes In the days of May;
The rolling prairie's billowy swell,
Ureesty uplands and timbered dell;
Stately mansion and hut forloi n
All are hidden by walls of corn.
All the wide world Is narrowed down
To walls of corn, now sere and brown.
What do they hold these walls of
corn.
Whose banners toss In the breeze of
morn.
No sent'ne's guard these walls of corn
Never Is sounded the warder's horn;
Yet the pillars are hung with gleam
ing gold,
Left all unbarred, though thieves are
bold.
Clothes and food for the tolling poor;
Wealth to keep at the rich man's door.
Ment for the heathy, nnd balm for
him
Who moans and tosses in "hamher
dim;
Shoes for the barefoo'ed. pearls to
twine
In the scented tresses of ladles fine;
Things of use for the lowly cot,
Where (bless the corn!) want cometh
not;
Luxuries rare for the mansion grand,
Gifts of a rich and feitile hind.
All these things, nnd so many more.
It would fill a book but to name them
o'er.
Are bid and held in C-esc walls of
corn,
Whose banners toss In the breeze of
morn.
"pen the atlas, conned by rule.
In the otd-n days of the district
school.
Point to this rich nnd bounteous land.
That yields such fruits to the toiler's
hand.
"Treeless desert" they called It then,
Haunted by beasts and forsook by
men.
Little they knew what wealth untold
Lay hid where the desolate prairie
rolled.
Who would have dared, with brush
or pen.
As this land is now, to paint it then?
Ami how would the wise ones have
laughted in scorn.
Had prophet forlold these walls of
corn,
Whose banners tons in the breeze of
morn!

No old sore can heal until the cause which produces it has been removed.
External applications of salves, washes, lotions, ctc may reduce the inflam
mation atjd assist in keeping the place clean, but cannot cure the trouble
because they do not reach its source. Old sores exist because the blood is
infected with impurities and poisons which are constantly being discharged
into the place. The nerves, tissues and fibres of the Hesh are kept in a State
of irritation and disease by being daily fed with the germ-laden matter
through the circulation, making it impossible for the pore to heal. S. S. S.
cures chronic sores by its purifying action on the blood. It goes down into
the circulation, and removes the poison-producing germs, impurities and
morbid matters which are responsible for the failure of the place to heal.
S. S. S. makes the blood pure, fresh and healthy; then as new, rich blood is
carried to the spot the healing process begins, all disch i::;e ceases, tiro
inflammation leaves, new tissue begins to form, the place fills in with firm,
healthy flesh, and soon the sore is permanently ctired. S. S. S. is purely
vegetable, the safest and best blood purifier for young or old. Book ou
