It wakes In the throat of the
woodland bird
In the rose-flushed hush of
the morn;
It gleams In the glow of the
billowing wheat
And the tasseled pride of the
corn;
It follows the feet of beauty
and love
It stirs In the strength of the
strong.
And its light leaps up on the
trampeling field
Where braver)- battles with
wrong;
It strings through each deed
that Is nobly done
But sweetest, most undoflled
It sings through each deed
world-old way
From the face of each little
child.
Priscilla Leonard in Boston
Journal,
"Now is ihe time fruitgrowers and
business men of Milton should start
an agitation concerning a Milton ex
hibit at the Walla Walla county fair,
which convenes In October," says the
Milton Ea?!e. The suggestion Is al
right only the Milton paper should
have advisei the same course witn
rt ference to the district fair to be held
here from .September 27 to October 2
The people of the Mllton-Freewater
country should be on hand In Sep
tember with a creditable exhibit and
doubtless they will be.
The Milton country is in Oregon, not
I In the state of Washington. The peo
ple up there should join with the other
people of this county In maintaining
a fair of th-Mr own. The Milton-Free-v.ater
section Is a great country and it
ii developing rapidly. But the peo
ple of that country make a mistake
when they link the identity of that
section with Walla Walla. They
should not allow all the fruit and
other products raised In that section
to be called "Walla Walla" products.
The fruit raised around Milton and
Freewater should be called "Milton"
or "Freewater" fruit. The east end
should not be a back yard for the
Washington town.
When the Milton and Freewater
pi ople maintain exhibits at the dist
rict fair they get the glory that Is
Justly due them. Pendleton is not a
fruit city and it does not try to ab
sorb the creJIt that justly goes to sec
tions that do raise fruit.
The people of the east end should
collect a creditable display for the
coming district fair or several exhib
its, just as they please. Then when
the local fair is over the material can
bo taken to the Walla Walla fair. But
when placed on exhibition in the Gar
den City care should be taken lest
V ila Walla gets advertising that
olrj be for the Mllton-Freewater
country.
PRESERVING PENCE POSTS.
FOLLOW ROOSEVELT'S PLAN.
It is too bad the United States did
not enter upon a policy of conserva
tion years ago. Had the country
awakened to the situation before the
most of the timber, coal, water pow
er, and other resources had been gob
bled up the great .problem which la
bound to confront the country in the
near future would have been made
simple of solution.
There should be no monopoly of the
great natural resources sncn as tim
ber, coal and water powers. These
things taken collectively practically
represent the energy of the earth.
Steam and electricity move the ma
chinery' of the world; wood and coal
constitute the fuel supply. Who
controls these forces controls the
world.
By the nature of things these great
sources of energy should be under
such control that the public at large
would receive the benefits from them.
The world was made for all, not for
the personal benefit of a few.
In the course of time the govern
ment must take such action that will
really provide for the abolition of
private property in such things as
timber lands, coal fields and water
powers. The government might do
this by imposing a graduated tax up
on the incomes of corporations own
ing such resources so as to force the
corporations to divide their profits
with the public. The corporations are
entitled only to a reasonable profit
upon their investments. They cannot
b-. allowed to assess the rest of the
world whatever they may please sim
ply because they hold the key to the
situation.
But necessarily It will take years of
work to pass any measures providing
for relief. In congress and In the
courts the allied trusts will howl that
their rights and the sacred rights of
property are assailed. They win say,
In substance, that they own the world
ai.d so may do as they please with it.
Pfrhaps a law providing for a special
tax upon the Incomes of such corpor
ations would be declared unconstltu- .
tional. At least It would be years be-fr-re
nnv relief roulil be secured and
1.1 the meantime the trust magnates
WOUM have accumulated billions that
should rightfully have been divided
among all of mankind.
The most effective way to offset the
evil that is threatened Is for the gov
ernment to follow out the Roosevclt
Pinchot policy of conservation. The
timber lands, coal lands and water
powers should be withdrawn from en
try' until the country can provide for
the development of these resources
tinder such conditions that the bene
fits will be divided among all the peo
ple. There are indications that Secretary
Bellinger Is not in full sympathy with
this policy of conservation. He Is
charged with looking to the present
rather than to the future and with
playing Into the hands of those who
would complete the monopoly of the
country's natural resources. If he la
The eagerness with which some Al
brrta boomers seek free advertising is
i : ly exceeded by the avidity shown In
garbling and falsifying statements
le by this paper. Nevertheless the
Fast Oregonian will continue the pol
of calling attention to the merits
0! its own country and state in pref
erence to booming a foreign land.

How can I reduce my fence post
bill? This Is a yearly question with
every farmer In the country. In re
gions where timber Is scarce and high
in price constructing and maintaining
fence posts is a source of great ex
pense, and even if there Is abundant
timber on the farm, the labor of cut
ting and setting posts Is no Incon
siderable Item. I'nless fortunate
n tugn to have at band some durable
wood the farmer Is likely to be annoy
ed by finding a few years after he
builds a fence that the posts need re
newing. It has long been known thnt a
thorough impregnation with creosote
would preserve timber from decay for
a long period of years. In fact, almost
Indefinitely. .Such treatment is com
mercially practiced with piling, rail
way cross ties,, and other construc
tion timbers, the preservation being
injected into the wood in strung cyl
inders by means of powerful force
pumps. This method, known as the
"pressure method," brings excellent
results, but on account of the ex
pensive machinery involved, the co.-t
is too great for ordinary use In treat
ing fence posts.
There has therefore grown a de
mand for some cheap and simple pro
cess of wood preservation adapted for
timber in common use for which the
pressure methods are too expensive.
.Such a method, known as the "open
tank method," has been developed y
which, with the use of a simple and
cheap apparatus, fence posts and oth
er timbers used on the farm may be
successfully treated at small expense.
It has been found that by immersliK
the wood first in a hot and then In a
cold ljquid, atmospheric pressure will
accomplish WUCh of what has been
heretofore accomplished by the use
of pressure pumps
For treating fence posts, either one
or two tanks are needed, which
should be fitted so as to be heated
either with steam or with a fire di
rectly underneath. If but one tank
is used the posts may be heated in the
creosote for several hours. The heat
may then be shut off and the posts
allowed to cool In the oil until the
desired penetration has taken place.
If two tanks are used, the posts after
being in the hot oil for the required
length of time may be transferred to
the other tank containing oil which
has been warmed only enough to
make It thoroughly liquid. From
"How to Make Fence Pots Last," in
September Technical World Magazine.

will involve the entire nation. The

The little French picture Train,
maker had finished the lady's com
mission, and when he brought the en

b in'.' them for her.
Remembering how she had knocked
her thumb with the hammer the last
time she had tried picture hanging.
she willingly agreed, and stood watch
ing him as he deftly fixed each in its
proper place. M
"1 think," she ventured, "you are
putting that one just a little high."
Hut the little frame maker gave no
response.
"Don't you hear me?" asked the
lady. "How can you be so rude?"
Thereupon the Frenchman gulped
conclusively, turned towards her, and
made the best possible bow. consider
ing that he sfood on a pair of rickety
steps.

BEDAZZLING TROUSERS.
"Can you direct me to ' Wilson's
Cascade?" asked a traveler of an old
man who sat In the doorway of a barn
lose to the road.
The old man squinted his eyes and
took an exhaustive survey of the ques
tioner. "Take your first right and follow
it until you come to a fork where
there's a clump o' bushes," he said
slowly, "and then strike off to the
left. Follow that road till you come
to the next crossing and then bear
off to your left again. When you've
gone a piece on that road 'tlsn't
much more than a patch you'll come
on Simmons' house. You'll know
him because he wears plaid trousers,
and I never saw anything like 'em
anywhere else. Green and blue plaid
they are, and she makes 'em for him.
Some say they like the looks of 'cm,
and some don't. I've heard different
feelings expressed, but, anyway, you
can't keep from laughing when you
set vour eyes on 'em, I'll wager.
There was a man"
"Excuse me, but I have only just
so much time," said the traveler
"Will Mr. Simmons direct me to the
cascades?"
The old man blinked at him for a
moment.
f think he can," he answered;
"but after you've seen them plaid
trousers a little water running over
rocks will seem pretty tame to you."
The Difference.
Sydney Rosenfcld once wrote a com.
edy entitled "The Optimist." which
achieved success after the production,
but was a long time reaching the
stage. Manager after manger refused
the manuscript, and one day Mr. Ros
enfeld, who. patience was exhausted
blurted out to his sole auditor:
"Of course you don't appreciate the
play! You don't even know the mean
ing of Its name."
"Yes. I do," protested the Impres
sarlo. "Well," hoisted Mr. Rosenfeld,
"what'a the difference octween an op
timist and a pessimist?"
The manager barely hesitated.
"An optomist Is an eye doctor," he
said; "a peesimlst Is a foot doctor."
